A month passed quickly. Even if some people in the palace hated her, they controlled their temper and gave her a gift.
She sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at herself in the mirror, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar.
"Princess, you are so beautiful."
The person in the mirror has a beautiful face, eyes like cold stars, lips like flower petals, and her snow-white skin looks even whiter against the backdrop of the bright red wedding dress.
She wore a golden hairpin on her head, and her face was clearly charming, but because of her clear and cool eyes, she gave people a vague feeling of being unapproachable.
She did not comment on Hongyue's words. She knew that after taking those pills, her appearance became extremely beautiful. This good looks would be her weapon to win favor in the future.
"It's getting late, Hongyue, please help me put on the veil."
"Yes, Princess."
The Canglang Kingdom was not too far from here, but because they were carrying a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, and silk, they had to be extremely careful along the way.
Two days later, they arrived safely at the Canglang Kingdom.
She had been traveling a lot these past two days and hadn't eaten well.
After getting off the carriage, he was taken to a side to rest by the maid from the Canglang Palace.
Hongyue felt sorry for her, but after all, they were both newcomers and had no connections, so Hongyue had to spend a lot of money to buy some food.
"Princess, eat quickly." Hongyue carefully held the pastry and handed it to her.
"I'm not that hungry, but you are. You haven't rested much along the way. You must be exhausted. Now it's just the two of us. There's no need to worry about too many rules. Please sit down."
Hongyue was a little anxious: "No, no, Princess, I'm just a servant, I..."
"Okay, then I order you to sit down, okay?"
Hongyue then sat down obediently. Tang Wan handed her a piece of pastry and said, "Eat it. I know you're hungry. Don't force yourself."
Hongyue took the shortbread, tears welling up in her eyes as she was so moved: "Wow, thank you, Princess."
Tang Wan looked at her with an inexplicable look of pity. Hongyue was only thirteen years old and still a little girl.
It's good enough that I can take her into consideration in every way.
She took a bite of the pancake and it was indeed crispy and had jam filling inside. It was delicious, but a little too sweet.
She poured herself a cup of tea and mixed it with the food. After consuming the hot tea and the cake, she finally felt much better.
Two days is neither long nor short, but not being able to eat hot food for two days is indeed torturous.
"Princess……"
"Be good, Hongyue, now that you're here, don't call me princess. I'm not a princess anymore."
"What should I call you then?"
"Just call me Master. I'll see what position His Majesty will give me in the future and then we'll make the final decision."
"Yes, Master."
After the master and servant had eaten and drunk their fill, they decided to clean up first. They were placed in a side hall called Linlang Palace.
Although no one had lived there for a long time, everything inside was neat and clean, the furniture was complete, and even the bed was made.
Tang Wan's favorability towards Shen Xiaohan increased a little. Although he had a fierce reputation and was ugly and shameless, he treated his own people very well.
Even these are taken into consideration.
In her previous life, when she got married, she was unconscious the whole time and thought that it was her dowry that cleaned it. She never thought that these were all prepared by Shen Xiaohan in advance.
After all, which monarch, who is busy with all kinds of affairs, would care about the sleeping quarters of a little concubine?
She held the still-warm teacup in her hand and exhaled deeply. He was a good man, and she should not judge a person by his appearance. As long as she could give birth to a child for Shen Xiaohan, she would be able to live a stable life for the rest of her life.
Thinking of having a child, she quickly called out in her mind: "Xiaobai, Xiaobai?"
"Host, I'm here."
"You said that even if Shen Xiaohan has difficulty in having children, I can still have children as long as I take the pregnancy pill, right?"
"Yes, host, you can rest assured that I can do it. I can definitely do it. Just put your mind at ease."
Tang Wan blushed slightly and nodded slightly.
She dozed off for a while on the soft bed, resting well in the afternoon so that she would have the energy to serve him in bed at night.
As for why she was so sure, Shen Xiaohan would definitely come to find her.
Because according to common rules, on the first day of the princess's marriage, in order to show the good relations between the two countries, the marriage must be consummated with the princess first.
She was not afraid that Shen Xiaohan would not come, but she was afraid that she would not be able to control herself. If she lost her composure, it would be more trouble than gain.
That night, a eunuch came to announce that she would serve him in the emperor's bed that day.
Tang Wan prepared silently for a long time, sitting upright on the wedding bed, her fingers restlessly stirring a small handkerchief.
She didn't know how much time had passed, and when she was feeling drowsy, the door was pushed open.
She heard steady and slow footsteps approaching her, and suddenly a pair of boots with silver stripes and black soles appeared in her sight.
The next second, the scene in front of me suddenly became bright.
She looked up and met a pair of eyes as deep as a cold pool.
The man was over eight feet tall and had a strong build. It was obvious that he had practiced martial arts for many years.
His skin was slightly dark, and although he was wearing bright-colored clothes, it didn't look out of place.
There was a long scar on his face running from his brow to his cheek. Perhaps due to years of fighting, he had a faint smell of blood on his body.
But he was not as ugly as the rumors said. Instead, he was handsome with a hint of wildness.
Seeing Tang Wan stunned, Shen Xiaohan raised his eyebrows: "Why, are you scared by me?"
There was a hint of danger in his eyes. Tang Wan shook her head, her beautiful eyes soaked with tears: "Your Majesty is so handsome, I am so fond of him, how could I be scared?"
Hearing this, a hint of astonishment appeared on Shen Xiaohan's face, but he quickly covered it up.
He finally looked the girl in front of him straight in the eye. Her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows were as dark as distant mountains, her eyes were like autumn water, her nose was bright red, her lips were red, and her hair was as black as a waterfall.
Her beautiful eyes stared at him straight in the eyes. His Adam's apple rolled subconsciously. He pinched her chin with one hand and moved his face closer to her. Tang Wan tilted her head. Shen Xiaohan's gaze was too aggressive and she couldn't stand it.
She didn't lie, she really thought Shen Xiaohan was handsome. Shen Xiaohan got closer to her, and the aura of an adult man enveloped her all of a sudden.
She felt a little uncomfortable, and her face turned redder uncontrollably.
She felt like she was being stared at by some large wild beast, with goose bumps all over her body, and she couldn't help rubbing her skin left and right.
Shen Xiaohan's voice was a little hoarse: "Why did you seduce me?"
He was clearly extremely ugly, yet this little girl in front of him actually called him handsome.
"Ah?" Tang Wan was a little surprised. She couldn't help but look him in the face, wanting to tell him how she seduced him.
But her lips, as delicate as flowers, just touched Shen Xiaohan's cold lips.
In an instant, my heart was beating like a drum.
