After bowing to heaven and earth, the newlyweds were led to their bridal chamber.
Fu Rongchen's cousins, clamoring to make a ruckus in the bridal chamber, led a group of people in and rushed in.
In an instant, the huge new house became crowded and lively.
These cousins of the Fu family had all grown up with Fu Rongchen since childhood and knew his steady nature well. They had never seen him flustered or at a loss. Therefore, they seized the opportunity today and were all eager to see what Fu Rongchen was like outside of his refined and handsome appearance.
Fu Rongchen narrowed his eyes, finding them extremely annoying.
But today is his and Shangguan Yanran's wedding day, so he can't just drive everyone away.
Afraid that Shangguan Yanran would be scared, he sat down next to her and took her hand as if no one else was around. "Don't be afraid, just think of it as seeing a group of monkeys."
The cousins, who were treated like monkeys: "..."
Realizing what was happening, someone took a bowl of flour and placed it between the two of them, urging them to blow on it.
Shangguan Yanran wasn't that stupid; if she blew on it, she'd be covered in flour.
Taking advantage of the man's inattention, she shifted her body back and blew a breath into the bowl.
Flour flew up instantly, and before the man could get away, his face was covered in flour.
"Ha ha……"
The crowd burst into laughter, while some said with exasperation, "You idiot, you didn't get the newcomer, and you ended up getting yourself into trouble."
Someone brought over more wine, asking Shangguan Yanran to feed it to Fu Rongchen.
This method of playing was a bit too much, but it immediately heightened everyone's enthusiasm, and they started cheering, "Yes, feed them with your mouth..."
However, they deflated instantly when they met Fu Rongchen's icy gaze halfway through their shouts.
"What's the point of drinking? Let's eat some dates instead." Someone brought over some red dates tied with string and hung them between the two of them.
Fu Rongchen couldn't refuse now, because if he and Yanran didn't go along with their wishes and have some fun, they wouldn't leave.
After thinking for a moment, he looked at Yanran and said, "Trust me."
Shangguan Yanran wasn't actually afraid. Seeing how much he cared for her, she felt a warm feeling in her heart. "Mmm."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, it's just eating dates, nothing dangerous," someone said with a chuckle.
"Come on, come on, let's start!" the person carrying the red dates urged.
Looking at the swaying red dates, Shangguan Yanran thought to herself, "How are they supposed to eat such small red dates?"
No matter how you eat it, it will eventually touch your mouth.
She realized it: these people just wanted to see her and Fu Rongchen do *that*...
These people really have a twisted sense of humor.
But despite the complaints, the situation is already in front of us, so we have no choice but to bite the bullet and move on.
Seeing the couple slowly approaching, intending to bite the date, the man chuckled maliciously and immediately lifted the date upwards. Fortunately, Fu Rongchen and Shangguan Yanran were on guard and stopped in time, avoiding embarrassment.
After this happened several times, Shangguan Yanran suddenly turned to the door and respectfully asked, "Why has Your Majesty the Empress come?"
Everyone was taken aback and subconsciously turned to look. The person carrying the dates also turned to look.
However, apart from a few maids standing by the door, there was no sign of the Empress.
When everyone realized they had been tricked and turned around, the dates the man was carrying were gone, leaving only a string dangling there.
"These dates are quite sweet, delicious." Shangguan Yanran smacked her lips and smiled slightly at everyone.
Everyone: "..."
