Shen Lixia hesitated for a moment, then asked, unable to hide her excitement, "Really?"
"Really, if you don't believe me, you can ask Xiao Liu tomorrow. She won't lie. She'll tell you whether you look good today, whether you amazed everyone. She won't lie to you."
"Hehe! Hehe!" Shen Lixia was immediately coaxed and couldn't stop giggling.
Fang Zhixing smiled gently as he offered the nuptial wine again.
"Can I drink it with peace of mind now?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
Shen Lixia took the wine glass somewhat hastily, even spilling a little.
The two finished drinking the nuptial wine smoothly. Fang Zhixing put the cups on the table and instructed, "I have to go out to offer toasts. A maid will come to serve you in a little while. I have already asked the kitchen to prepare food. I don't know if it suits your taste. If you don't like it, just ask someone to make it again. From now on, you will be the mistress of this courtyard. Just tell me what you want. Our Prime Minister's Mansion has few people and things are simple. There are no complicated procedures."
"Can I ask my dowry maid to help me wash and change? This phoenix crown is so heavy!" Shen Lixia looked up at Fang Zhixing with her bright little face, relying on him.
Fang Zhixing twitched his fingers slightly and chuckled softly.
"Whatever, it's your own home, you can do whatever you want."
"Okay, go ahead then! Drink less, okay? We're getting married tonight and need to consummate our marriage!"
Shen Lixia suppressed her embarrassment and whispered a reminder.
After saying that, he glanced at Fang Zhixing and quickly looked away.
This unconscious act of feigning reluctance has piqued Fang Zhixing's interest.
He lowered his eyes, a pleasant laugh escaping his throat, and said cheerfully, "Wait for me to come back, soon!"
"good!"
Compared to the ambiguity in the bridal chamber, Lu Zichao, who was pushed out of the bridal chamber by Ye Wuxia, was still regretful that there was no wedding night prank.
Ye Wuxia, unable to contain herself any longer, said, "There's a reason why you can't find a wife!"
"Me?" Lu Zichao tilted his head, opened his mouth, and looked as if he had heard a fairy tale. "Minister Ye, you haven't even had a drink! Are you drunk already? What about me! Who am I! The famous Lu Zichao, there are plenty of girls who like me, how could I not find a wife? Are you kidding me?"
Ye Wuxia gave Lu Zichao a meaningful look.
Lu Zichao tried to save face.
"You don't understand, Shen Lixia is a tomboy, I treat her like a brother!"
"I can tell."
Ye Wuxia believed that.
If Lu Zichao hadn't mistaken Shen Lixia's gender, he wouldn't have been completely unresponsive. After all, regardless of whether he liked her or not, she used to be his fiancée, and he felt absolutely no sense of loss whatsoever.
After dismissing Lu Zichao, Ye Wuxia couldn't help but tease Fang Ruotang.
"Now that the troublesome person is gone, should we turn back?"
Why turn back?
Fang Ruotang looked at Ye Wuxia with a puzzled and innocent expression.
Ye Wuxia suppressed a laugh and teased her.
"Watching your fifth brother and sister-in-law on their wedding night! Isn't that what you like best?"
Fang Ruotang's pupils dilated, and she scolded, "Ye Wuxia, you pervert! You actually tried to peep at my fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law having sex! Do you have some kind of special fetish?"
"Oh..." Ye Wuxia drew out the sound, and said with a meaningful smile, "I don't know who it was back then, but they insisted on seeing General Lü and Prince Shen's wedding night. I couldn't drag them away even if I tried!"
Fang Ruotang felt a little embarrassed, but she quickly straightened up and questioned Ye Wuxia in a sweet voice.
"Tell me, are you eyeing my fifth sister-in-law? Are you trying to spy on her?"
Ye Wuxia's smile froze on her face, giving the impression that she had tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead.
He was stunned for a moment before asking, with a wry smile, "Why would you think that?"
Fang Ruotang squinted at Ye Wuxia as if she were a thief.
"You said the same thing to me when I was going to see General Lü's bridal chamber. Now that it's your turn, you're saying you're not after my fifth sister-in-law's beauty."
After so long, Ye Wuxia never expected that the boomerang would come back to him, especially with the Crown Prince, that wicked fellow, stirring things up from the sidelines.
"That's possible. I was standing next to Minister Ye when your fifth sister-in-law lifted her bridal veil just now, and I saw that his eyes were glued to her. He was probably lusting after your fifth sister-in-law's beauty!"
"You, Ye Wuxia, you look so refined, but I never expected you to be so wicked." Fang Ruotang put one hand on her hip and pointed at Ye Wuxia with the other.
Ye Wuxia pointed to the sky and swore, "My sincerity towards you is as clear as the sun and moon. How could you listen to the words of a villain and misunderstand me like this?"
"A villain? Are you referring to Xiao Liu, or to me?" the Crown Prince asked coldly.
He didn't say much, but he kept stirring things up, and every word he said hit the nail on the head.
"Yes! What do you mean?"
At this moment, Fang Ruotang changed her name to Dong Ruotang.
She had no ideas of her own and was completely led by the nose by the Crown Prince.
Ye Wuxia quickly knelt down and admitted her mistake.
"It was my fault. I won't make jokes like that again. Please forgive me! You know how I feel about you. How could I possibly look at other women?"
"That's not necessarily true. You men are so wicked!"
Fang Ruotang pouted, looking completely unyielding.
Ye Wuxia was truly anxious.
She poured out sweet nothings, basket after basket.
Fang Ruotang put her hands on her hips and ignored him completely. The two of them were like actors in a theatrical performance, one of them trying to explain while the other turned away and ignored them, spinning around in circles.
Do you really doubt his sincerity?
No!
So what are you doing...?
[Just teasing him!]
Little Mirror: ...
Why don't you take a look at the fine beads of sweat on Vice Minister Ye's forehead, and ask him, who's scratching his head in frustration, if this is funny?
