"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: My eldest son, Mo Yunjing, is exceptionally brave and has the world at heart; the Prime Minister's daughter, Shen Muqing, is beautiful and intelligent, gentle and charming. Their marriage is ordained by Heaven, and they complement each other perfectly. I am delighted and hereby bestow this auspicious union upon them, ordering their marriage to take place at Chenshi (7-9 AM). So be it!"
Exhausted from a long day, Shen Muqing sat upright in front of the bed, a red veil obscuring her vision, a heavy phoenix crown on her head, and elaborate and gorgeous clothes.
"well."
System 000: "Please don't sigh, host. The mission this time is to bring together Crown Prince Mo Yun Jing and Crown Prince's concubine Song Jin He. The side mission is that you are the villainous female supporting character in this world, and you must maintain the setting."
"Me? Matchmaking my husband with his concubine? Then what am I? Am I the other woman? Is it only the unloved who are the mistress?"
Shen Muqing chuckled, "Why is the mission suddenly so difficult? What will happen if we don't complete the side quests?"
"No comment. Please take care of yourself, host."
With a beep, system 000 immediately went offline.
It's so satisfying to work like this.
Shen Muqing sorted through the memories in her mind, feeling tired.
Having not eaten all day, she carefully lifted her veil and surveyed the room's layout, which was very much in line with her status—magnificent and opulent.
She loves gold the most, and many things in her room are made of gold, which is so dazzling it blinds her.
There was a table in the middle, with several plates of exquisite pastries on it. She couldn't help but swallow hard; it was no wonder, they were just too tempting.
She took small steps, slowly moving to the table, and picked up a piece to gnaw on.
It melts in your mouth, and the illiterate woman could only express how delicious it was with several "wow"s.
Just as she was enjoying the pastries, she heard a noise outside the door.
"This servant greets Your Highness the Crown Prince..."
She didn't hear what was said next. She hurriedly swallowed what was in her mouth and turned to listen to the sounds outside the door.
Is it time for the wedding night? She was a little confused. Would the Crown Prince sleep with her first, or would the three of them sleep together? That didn't seem quite right.
Another sharp voice cut in, "Your Highness, something terrible has happened to my lady!"
"What happened?"
A gentle, refined male voice appeared. Compared to the loud voice of the maid before, Shen Muqing tried her best to listen but still couldn't understand what he was saying.
The soft rustling sounds made Shen Muqing's heart itch with curiosity; she wanted to watch the drama unfold.
She pressed her entire body against the door, listening intently.
Without paying attention, she stumbled and accidentally pushed open the door, whereupon she came face to face with the maid outside.
The maid seemed somewhat afraid of her, her body trembling slightly. She was also supporting a man, who appeared to be her nominal husband, Crown Prince Mo Yun Jing.
"Miss... Crown Princess, what are your orders?"
His voice was respectful, and his attitude was humble.
The man in the maid's arms seemed drunk, his eyes closed, his face hidden in the dim light, making it impossible to see his features. However, his red clothes stood out conspicuously.
Give him to me.
The only man who would get drunk on his wedding night is probably the male protagonist, especially since he was wearing red.
Shen Muqing didn't think much of it and took the man from the maid's hands.
Zhu Qiu's mouth moved, and she opened it but no sound came out.
"Hmm?" Shen Mu sent a single word, not understanding what Zhu Qiu was trying to say.
This single word seemed perfectly normal to Shen Muqing, but to Zhu Qiu, it sounded like Shen Muqing was angry. She immediately knelt down and kowtowed loudly.
"I was wrong, I was wrong."
As a servant, it was taboo to inquire about her master's affairs; she was merely a lowly servant with little influence.
Hearing the commotion, Shen Muqing felt sorry for her. Was she really that scary? But in order to maintain her image, she ultimately remained silent and helped the man into the room.
She threw the man onto the bed in one go. At this moment, she was the only one in the room, oh, and there was also a dead pig who had fallen asleep.
No one should disturb them in the bridal chamber. Shen Muqing took off her outer clothes, wearing only a thin red silk inner garment, and sat on the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror.
The beauty in the mirror has a flamboyant and striking appearance, an aggressive kind of beauty, especially her long, narrow eyes, which are terrifying.
No wonder that maid was so afraid of me; she has the look of a vicious female supporting character, and she exudes an aura of arrogance without even trying.
"Hiss~" She reached out and took off the phoenix crown. Good heavens, this phoenix crown would probably cost tens or hundreds of thousands in modern times.
A red mark was pressed around his fair and smooth forehead, making Shen Muqing inexplicably want to laugh, as if it were the golden headband worn by Sun Wukong.
After shedding all the burdens on her shoulders, Shen Muqing breathed a sigh of relief and walked around the room feeling light and free.
She kept fiddling with the vase and touching the beaded curtain, as if her eyes had been opened, exclaiming in amazement, "A country dog has entered the city!"
On the bed she hadn't noticed, the man was already awake. He sat up, his eyes following Shen Muqing intently. Finally, he found her.
Perhaps it was the man's gaze that was too intense, for Shen Muqing's eyes inadvertently met his deep gaze.
It was a face that could shock heaven and earth, fierce in a word, extremely fierce in two words.
It's the kind of look that makes you kneel down and say, "I confess, I confess everything, sir, I was wrong."
"Husband... my lord"
Shen Muqing hesitated, struggling with what to call him. Husband? Darling? Or just call him Crown Prince?
In the end, she chose the safest way to call out, and timidly uttered the words.
A flicker of surprise crossed the man's eyes, but he quickly concealed it, his gaze retaining a captivating quality born of intoxication.
"come over."
The tone, leaving no room for refusal, was especially clear in the quiet night.
Shen Muqing had long, loose hair that reached her waist. If someone with such a face were to have her, they would definitely be very cunning.
But when it comes to Shen Muqing, her innocent, watery eyes give her an unwitting allure, and you can't tell she's scheming at all.
"come over."
The man spoke again, his voice even louder than the first, with a hint of anger in it.
Shen Muqing unconsciously fiddled with her clothes with her hands crossed, slowly moving over. What's with the fierce look? Are your breasts bigger than mine?
"Ah~"
He pulled Shen Muqing to sit down, and Mo Yunjing pinched her fair chin, scrutinizing her face closely.
After a long while, he chuckled softly, "There really are supernatural beings and ghosts in this world."
Shen Muqing was confused. What did this mean? Was it time for their wedding night?
Mo Yunjing walked to the front of the table, picked up the wine cup, and handed it to Shen Muqing. It was the first time Shen Muqing had seen such a tall and burly man. She thought that if he punched her, she might be turned into mincemeat.
Shen Muqing appeared incredibly petite in his presence, her head barely reaching his shoulder. She had always imagined the Crown Prince to be a frail, scholarly type.
She took back what she had just said; his chest was indeed bigger than hers.
