Chapter 56 The Arrogant Prince (End)
To prevent him from overthinking, Xu Qiuqiu wrapped her arms around his neck and responded to his kiss.
Feeling her response, Zhou Zichen's heart surged, and he kissed her even more passionately, not missing any corner of her mouth.
Xu Qiuqiu's body went weak from his kisses; he had to admit that his kissing skills were getting better and better...
Time flies, and it's already the eighth day of the lunar new year. The Prince's Mansion is festively decorated with red lanterns and double happiness characters.
Xu Qiuqiu sat at the dressing table, with two maids doing her hair and makeup. She was wearing a bright red wedding dress embroidered with mandarin ducks and a phoenix crown on her head, the dangling beads on the crown obscuring her beautiful appearance.
She felt her head was so heavy. She never imagined that the headdresses worn by women in ancient times on their wedding day were so heavy.
She was still 10% short of completing her happiness stat. She had never been married in the real world, but unexpectedly, she got married in ancient times first.
After all the headdresses were put on, Xu Qiuqiu's view was half blocked. She propped her head up, played with the sapphire bracelet on her wrist, and chatted with 003, "I didn't expect that it was not easy for women in ancient times to get married. Just this headdress alone almost broke my neck. And this is in the morning. I have to wait until evening to take it off."
"Host, only royalty can wear phoenix crowns. Other girls might not be able to wear something so heavy," 003 comforted her. "Host, it's a symbol of nobility!"
Seeing the joyous and lively day, 003 also became happy. Although such scenes had been depicted on TV and in novels, seeing them in person was still more interesting.
"..." Xu Qiuqiu was speechless for a moment. It would have been better not to comfort her at all.
Before she could even exchange a few more words with 003, her maid reminded her that it was time to put on her veil.
Xu Qiuqiu let them help her cover her head with the veil, and the maid helped her stand up.
Outside the door, Zhou Zichen was dressed in a crimson robe with gold thread patterns, his hair tied up high with a jade crown. He looked even more handsome than usual. He watched with excitement as the maid helped Xu Qiuqiu walk towards him step by step.
The maid handed the other end of the red silk to Xu Qiuqiu, who took it and held it in her hand.
The main hall was bustling with activity, as many officials from the court had come, and of course, the emperor himself had also arrived.
Zhou Zichen led her across the brazier and saddle, all the way to the main hall of the Prince's Palace. When the officials and commanders saw them enter, they all shouted, "Congratulations, Prince Yan'an!"
Although Zhou Zichen's expression remained cold, he was extremely excited inside; he had married the girl he loved most.
The officiant shouted, "First bow to Heaven and Earth—"
The two bowed to heaven and earth.
The officiant shouted, "Second bow to the parents—"
The two bowed to Zhou Ziling, who was sitting in the main seat. After all, Zhou Zichen only had one older brother, while Shi Qiu had been an orphan since childhood.
"Husband and wife bow to each other—"
Zhou Zichen and Xu Qiuqiu bowed to each other.
"The ceremony is complete; escort them to the bridal chamber—"
After the ceremony, Xu Qiuqiu was helped by her maid to the bridal chamber, where she sat on a quilt embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water.
She felt a bit uncomfortable, so she grabbed the blanket and found it full of red dates, longans, and peanuts. "May you have a son soon?"
The heavy phoenix crown on her head made her head ache, and she had been woken up early in the morning to dress up without eating anything. Thinking of this, she ate the longan and peanuts she had just caught.
The more she ate, the more panicked she became. Did she really have to offer herself to him to reach a happiness level of 100?
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Qiuqiu leaned against the bed frame. She was exhausted and was waiting for Zhou Zichen to come and lift the veil to rescue her.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, she finally heard footsteps.
Zhou Zichen had been forced to drink a lot of alcohol, and his steps were a little unsteady. He pushed open the door and saw Xu Qiuqiu sitting obediently on the bed waiting for him. He ignored the fruit peels scattered on the floor and happily walked up to her.
Gently lift her veil and the tassels on her phoenix crown, and you'll see that she's even more beautiful than usual.
He smiled, feeling incredibly satisfied; Qiuqiu was finally his…
Xu Qiuqiu was a little nervous. She was afraid of what was about to happen. Although the boy in front of her was very handsome and attractive, she had heard that the first time was very painful…
Zhou Zichen took the wine from the maid and said coldly to her, "Get out."
After the maid left and closed the door, he put on a gentle smile again and handed a glass of wine to Xu Qiuqiu's hand, "Qiuqiu, let's drink Heqin wine."
"Okay, I'll do whatever my husband says." Xu Qiuqiu smiled sweetly at him, then walked around his hand and drank the wine in her glass.
Hearing her obediently call him "husband," Zhou Zichen's ears turned red with excitement, and his eyes softened considerably.
[Ding! The female lead's happiness level has increased by 10%, currently at 100%]
[Ding, mission complete, departing from this plane...]
When she opened her eyes again, she was back in her small apartment in the rest area, where she saw 003 had made a nest on the sofa.
She walked over, sat on the sofa, and picked up 003. 003 obediently let her pet it. "Host, the mission reward is 500, and after the system upgrade, there are an extra 2000 points. The host currently has a total of 2500 points."
Xu Qiuqiu smiled and said, "So upgrading the system can also earn extra points?"
“Yes, yes, host, would you like to upgrade again?” 003 coaxed.
"Okay, upgrade the system." The more you upgrade, the more points you get, so of course she had no reason to refuse.
003 happily used the points to upgrade the system, and this time the rest space became bigger and more luxurious, even with a swimming pool.
003 also turned into a fat rabbit.
"I haven't fed you, and you've already gotten fat," Xu Qiuqiu teased it.
003 looked aggrieved, not knowing how it had suddenly grown so big. "Host, I haven't eaten anything, and I don't know how I got fat."
"Alright, alright, being a little chubby is cute too." Xu Qiuqiu pinched its chubby paws.
After being coaxed by her, 003 cheered up again. "Does the host want to rest for a while, or continue the mission?"
"Continue the mission," Xu Qiuqiu replied. She always felt that there was no such thing as a coincidence. How could two people look exactly alike, and give her the same feeling when they were together?
After Xu Qiuqiu disappeared from the rest space, 003 discovered another small, glowing light. This time, it skillfully opened the bottle and put the light inside.
