"Greetings to the Third Prince." Everyone in the yard bowed when they saw the Third Prince walk in.
"Well, get up." Yue Chengyu said as he walked into the house. When he opened the door, he saw a room full of servants and Ye Han sitting on a wedding quilt in a wedding dress.
"Meet the Third Prince."
"Yeah. Get up."
"Thank you, Third Prince."
When Ye Han heard the noise, he also exited Taobao, and his waist unconsciously straightened a little more.
Yue Chengyu walked to the bedside, and the matchmaker quickly handed him the wedding scale. Yue Chengyu took the scale and slowly lifted Ye Han's red veil. As Yue Chengyu gradually saw the face underneath the red veil, Ye Han also saw her legendary husband as the red veil was lifted. [Speaking of which, it feels like opening a blind box, doesn't it?] Ye Han thought to herself.
Their eyes met, and surprise flashed in both of theirs.
"Please, bride and groom, drink some Hehuan wine," the bridesmaid said, and brought two cups of wine. Ye Han and Yue Chengyu each took a cup and drank from it. Then, the bridesmaid fed Ye Han another dumpling. Ye Han didn't think much of it, as he was indeed hungry. However, he immediately spit it out after eating it, blurting out "Raw."
Upon hearing this, the matchmaker and the maids immediately beamed and said in unison, "We wish the Third Prince and his wife a happy and harmonious marriage, and that they may soon have a son."
Ye Han only realized this custom at this point and rolled his eyes inwardly, but a generous and appropriate smile appeared on his face. It must be said that if Ye Han returned to the modern era with his current acting skills, he would be more than capable of making it in the entertainment industry. He is definitely a talented actor.
"Reward" The third prince began to reward according to the rules.
"Thank you, Third Prince. I'll take my leave." After saying this, she left the room in an orderly manner.
As the door closed, only Ye Han and Yue Chengyu were left staring at each other. Ye Han sat on the bed, looking at Yue Chengyu, while Yue Chengyu stood beside the bed, looking at Ye Han. Their eyes met in mid-air. There was no smoke of war, no lingering rage, only silent awkwardness. After all, even though they were newlyweds, it didn't change the fact that they didn't know each other.
Imagine two people meeting for the first time in their bridal chamber, and the next step is the wedding night. This is a socially intimidating situation; it's unlikely they'd be able to start a conversation. Furthermore, one person is a dignified and elegant figure, while the other is a cool, black sesame-filled glutinous rice dumpling.
So they looked at each other in silence.
It's so awkward!
So embarrassing!
Stop!
!
The two of them looked at each other silently for a minute. Finally, Ye Han couldn't stand it anymore, so he raised his hand first and waved at Yue Chengyu, "Hello? Haha." Then he smiled awkwardly.
"Huh? What's up?" Yue Chengyu looked puzzled, his beautiful peach blossom eyes full of doubts.
"Haha, nothing, my name is Ye Han." Ye Han continued to laugh awkwardly. Ye Han felt that his IQ and EQ had run away from home, his brain was no longer working, and he didn't know whether it was because of hunger or embarrassment.
"Hmm." Yue Chengyu was a man who would never say more than one word or half a word. After thinking about it, he felt something was not so good, so he added, "Do you want to eat something?" After he finished speaking, Yue Chengyu had already started eating. After all, he had only had some snacks in the morning, and he was hungry after a busy day.
Ye Han looked at the food on the table and was no longer embarrassed. She lifted her skirt and walked over. After all, her stomach had been protesting for a long time.
The two ate in silence, neither of them saying anything. Ye Han pondered how to start the conversation. The package had already arrived, so he could just pick it up himself. But how should he bring up this matter? Waiting online, it was urgent! Ye Han ate his meal with an air of elegance and composure, but the villain in his heart was about to pull his hair out.
"How about, let's talk about it later? After all, it's a bit inappropriate for me to speak first." Ye Han thought to himself.
Ye Han now has a bit of an ostrich mentality, but he can't avoid what he has to face, and the meal will eventually be over.
After finishing their meal, Ye Han and Yue Chengyu showed no intention of getting up and leaving the table. Similarly, neither of them spoke. They just sat facing each other.
"that.."
"you.."
"You first."
"you say."
"You speak first." Ye Han spoke again.
"Have you finished your meal?" Yue Chengyu continued what he had just said.
"I'm done eating."
"Then let them withdraw?"
"Can."
After everyone had moved their things away, the two people in the room fell silent again.
Ye Han clenched and unclenched his hands in his sleeves, then clenched and unclenched again. His toes curled unconsciously. His mind raced, trying to find a topic to break the silence, but nothing seemed too awkward. [Forget it, the more I say, the more mistakes I'll make. Better not to say anything.] Ye Han gave up. So be it. As long as I wasn't embarrassed, then I wasn't the one who was embarrassed.
Yue Chengyu drank his tea slowly, but if you looked closely you would find that his posture was a little stiff, but he concealed it very well.
Although Yue Chengyu was the Third Prince and already twenty years old—a figure in the Great Yue Dynasty who would have children running around at his age—he was a complete workaholic. He even considered eating a waste of time, let alone romance. Therefore, facing the bridal chamber was Yue Chengyu's first time, and he had no practical experience.
So, the young couple who just met chose to respond with silence. By the way, they could also say something, which shows that they have a tacit understanding.
Years later, when the two recalled the scene of that day, they would laugh and talk about their inner thoughts at that time. It was also a unique memory.
