Song Tangli only knows how to use these tricks, but some people actually fall for them.
Xie Qianzhong's wedding banquet was packed with guests, a veritable sea of people.
Even Lee So-hyeon had to come to maintain a semblance of peace.
"It seems this banquet won't end anytime soon. Perhaps I should go and take a look?"
As evening approached and Xie Qianzhong still hadn't returned, Haitang asked curiously.
Lianzhi quickly replied, "My little darling, don't wander around. With so many guests today, we don't want people to gossip about us."
They came as part of the dowry, so of course they should accompany their mistress instead of wandering around outside.
Upon hearing this, Haitang realized it was true.
He smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said...
"I'm getting sillier and sillier, but thankfully, Lianzhi is a clear-headed person."
"You have a lot to learn from now on, so you can't be lazy like before."
Lian Zhi was also quite emotional, because from today onwards, the identities of all of them would change.
Not only were the young ladies addressed as "Madam," but they were also addressed as "Auntie" by their maids.
Haitang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, you can rest assured that I have such a plan, but if there is anything I do not do well, you must tell me."
Song Tangxue hadn't spoken yet, as the phoenix coronet and wedding gown were making her feel very uncomfortable.
However, seeing the two of them like this, I found it amusing and smiled.
At the same time, the door was suddenly opened.
The maidservant guarding the door didn't come in; instead, she called out loudly, "The Marquis has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, Haitang quickly picked up the veil from before and covered Song Tangxue with it.
Song Tangxue had never been so nervous before, and she clenched her hands tightly.
When Xie Qianzhong returned, he showed no signs of being drunk, and his eyes were extremely clear.
The matchmaker reappeared and made the two drink the nuptial wine and remove their veils.
By candlelight, Song Tangxue saw the man she loved.
He will always look at himself with that same affectionate gaze.
Just now, everyone had quietly left.
You look beautiful today.
Xie Qianzhong began to speak, and Song Tangxue, unusually shy, lowered her head.
After a night, Song Tangxue's back and waist ached.
"There aren't so many rules here, so you can rest easy. I'm going to do my morning exercise first."
She had just woken up when she heard Xie Qianzhong speaking gently to her.
Song Tangxue didn't speak, she just nodded.
Xie Qianzhong kissed his forehead before leaving.
After Song Tangxue finally waited for her to leave, she breathed a sigh of relief and stretched her muscles.
Haitang and Lianzhi arrived shortly afterward to help Song Tangxue with her washing and dressing.
“From this day forward, our identities have changed. I still feel like I’ve lived through another world.”
Haitang said with great emotion that she could hardly believe the maids had called her "aunt" earlier.
Lianzhi then said, "You and the Lord are officially betrothed. You will be going to the palace this afternoon to express your gratitude. You may run into the Crown Princess there."
“How could she miss such a good opportunity? She’s bound to come across it,” Haitang said.
Song Tangxue wasn't afraid at all; she just spoke calmly.
"She has her brilliant plans, and I have my countermeasures. Let's see who has the last laugh."
"Of course it's us. God sees clearly and knows who the good people are."
Lian Zhi replied, but Song Tangxue had many things to do today and couldn't listen to Xie Qianzhong.
She had to first meet with the various stewards and maids to familiarize herself with the affairs of the mansion before going to the palace to pay her respects and express her gratitude.
These housekeepers seemed extremely well-behaved and without any problems.
After the meeting and learning about the affairs of the mansion, an hour had passed.
When Xie Qianzhong returned, he saw Song Tangxue already there, fiddling with the abacus.
"Didn't I tell you to rest? Why are you meddling in these things again?"
"Look at what you're saying. Now that I am the Prime Minister's wife, it is my responsibility to take charge of this matter. How can I leave it to the servants all the time?"
Song Tangxue answered while doing the calculations.
Xie Qianzhong said, "You have me, so you don't need to follow the rules like everyone else."
"I don't like being a freeloader. What's the point of just eating and drinking well here? I can find something to do to pass the time."
Song Tangxue, however, had her own explanation. Xie Qianzhong, upon hearing this, naturally couldn't easily change his mind.
"Alright, then you can do it for now, but remember, don't overwork yourself."
“These things are commonplace, nothing as precious as you imagine,” Song Tangxue replied with a smile.
But Xie Qianzhong suddenly picked her up and said, "Since you're not tired, then keep me company!"
Song Tangxue immediately blushed and angrily slapped his shoulder, as if venting her anger.
Xie Qianzhong didn't care about the minor pain, while Song Tangxue was thinking that it was fortunate that she was alone in the room, otherwise it would have been very embarrassing if others had heard her say that.
They had to go to express their gratitude at noon, and because of Xie Qianzhong, they almost missed their lunch.
"You mustn't do that again. If you go to the palace without even being able to eat, how tiring that would be."
Song Tangxue glared angrily at Xie Qianzhong. Now they could finally eat, but time was extremely tight.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Xie Qianzhong smiled and readily agreed.
In the solemn and majestic palace, Song Tangxue once again arrived at the main hall, but this time her identity had been completely reversed.
Empress Cheng was also there, waiting for them long ago, showing that she valued the two of them very much.
"Your Majesty, I have come with my family to express our gratitude. We thank Your Majesty for bringing this marriage together!"
Xie Qianzhong spoke first, then bowed.
The Emperor nodded with obvious satisfaction, smiled, and said...
"You two are a match made in heaven. I never expected that my unintentional act would lead to such a wonderful marriage. It is truly a meritorious deed."
He had truly forgotten how Song Tangxue was falsely accused of being an ominous person, and what kind of behavior he himself had displayed.
Now, when they say these things, they are even more shameless.
However, everyone has a hypocritical side, and the emperor, as a ruler, is even more so.
Song Tangxue had long seen through the evil in human nature, so the listeners remained silent, but Empress Cheng spoke up.
"The Prime Minister's household is small, so you must hurry up and produce an heir so that I and His Majesty can rest assured."
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will remember your teachings and never disappoint you."
Song Tangxue answered in a proper manner, and the Emperor did not keep them. Instead, after giving them a few instructions, he made an excuse to go to the Imperial Study.
Song Tangli was not seen in the main hall; it seemed she was already waiting outside.
"We might meet that unlucky person later. Don't say anything yet, and see what their purpose is."
After Song Tangxue came out again, she didn't forget to remind Xie Qianzhong, afraid that he might not understand her meaning and ruin the good thing.
