A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace Chapter 1436 - 1434: The Wedding (Part 3)

She gazed at him with eyes as deep as water, filled with affection, clear like a pristine lake, and sparkling like a sky full of stars.

Shih Shaoling’s face immediately turned an awkward shade of red.

’How can this girl be so beautiful? What should he do if his heart leaps into his throat?’

Seeing him stare fixatedly at her, Yue Er quickly turned her face away, secretly scoffing in her heart.

’What’s with Shih Shaoling, always staring at her? Has he never seen anyone like this?’

Despite her internal grumbles, her face remained thoroughly flushed.

The atmosphere indoors was awkward yet beautiful, tense but warm, the entire room exuding a mystical and romantic spring-like vibe.

"Princess and Prince Consort, it’s time to drink the joint-cup wine!"

The Wedding Matron stepped forward with a forced smile.

"Oh!"

Yue Er finally breathed a sigh of relief, Shih Shaoling also felt his heart relax slightly.

...

The delicate White Jade Wine Cup held Jadescent Nectar, presented to them by a young maid.

Each took a cup, slowly reaching out, arms slightly entwined, bringing the cups to their lips.

They exchanged a glance, their gaze touching before quickly bouncing away.

They both looked elsewhere, tilted their heads back, and drank the wine in their cups, the Wedding Matron stepped forward again, saying more auspicious words.

After entwining the hems of their clothes and their hair into a single strand.

The Wedding Matron finally announced.

"Congratulations to the Princess and Prince Consort, may you share a life together and stay united forever!"

Yue Er and Shih Shaoling exchanged a glance, still visibly uncomfortable.

She coughed lightly and waved her hand slightly.

"Alright, you all can leave now!"

The Wedding Matron said another heap of auspicious words before finally leading everyone out.

...

"Phew!"

Shih Shaoling’s tense body finally relaxed.

Yue Er also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally over!"

Shih Shaoling looked at Yue Er, and almost unconsciously reached out to smooth her long hair.

"You’re tired, aren’t you?" His tone was still somewhat awkward, his movements still stiff.

He never really learned how to care for people, even now he couldn’t, but he just wanted to do something.

Yue Er gave an awkward smile.

"I... napped in the afternoon, not very tired!"

"Are you hungry, then?" Shih Shaoling asked again.

Yue Er: "..."

Can’t you ask something else? Does it have to be like this!

"Not hungry!"

Yue Er answered very decisively this time.

With nothing else to ask, Shih Shaoling fell silent, and the two of them shared a quiet moment.

In the large bedroom, only the pair of Yan Hong carved Dragon and Phoenix Candles remained burning, occasionally crackling.

After a while, Shih Shaoling asked again.

"So... are you sleepy?"

Yue Er felt a headache coming on.

"I... napped in the afternoon, not sleepy!"

"Oh!" Shih Shaoling fell back into silence.

After quite a while, Yue Er really couldn’t sit still anymore and decided to get up.

But she forgot that her skirt hem was tied together with his clothes, so when she suddenly stood up, she was bounced back.

"Ah!"

"Oh dear!"

Yue Er, caught off guard, toppled right into Shih Shaoling’s arms.

When she came to her senses, her whole face was redder than blood.

"Um, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, did I hurt you?"

Shih Shaoling’s face flush deeply red.

"No... no!"

A person who usually speaks with biting sarcasm now found himself with nothing to say.

A young girl usually so proud and domineering now found herself blushing furiously.

The two resumed their seats, exchanged glances, but remained silent.

Yue Er ultimately spoke first.

"Um... You must be exhausted today, why not... rest early!"

Shih Shaoling nodded frantically.

"Alright!"

He felt like a man cornered until he finally found an escape, and suddenly relaxed.

Yue Er breathed another sigh of relief.

"I’ve bathed already, so I won’t wash again, you go ahead!" She said, blushing.

Shih Shaoling stiffly nodded.

"Alright, then I’ll go!"

Awkwardly, he tried to untie the knot on his clothing.

But unfortunately, in his current hurried state, his normally clumsy fingers became even stiffer.

A simple knot refused to come undone.

Yue Er couldn’t bear to watch and wanted to help, but unfortunately, the more she helped, the more tangled they became, and they ended up closer still.

"Ah!"

She exclaimed as their heads collided.

"That hurt!"

Yue Er felt like she was seeing stars and her eyes started to water.

Shih Shaoling quickly stood up, covering her head as he helped her.

"Where? Where did you bump into?"

He was very concerned.

Yue Er, teary-eyed, pushed him.

"How is your head so hard!"

"Get away, annoying!"

"Hurry up and take a bath!"

Shih Shaoling was puzzled: "???"

A hard head? How could a bump be blamed on having a hard head.

But... since it was his fault anyway, he should just listen to her and disappear.

With the fastest speed, he undressed and stood up.

"Yue Er, calm down, I’ll go first!"

He said and immediately turned to leave.

Yue Er rubbed her head, feeling irritated.

’Hey! He actually left when I told him to, truly...’

Oh well, she comforted herself.

He’s just a weirdo, never mind.

...

The night grew deeper.

After bathing and changing, Shih Shaoling returned wearing only inner garments.

By then, Yue Er already lay down.

She felt a bit sleepy, and as he returned, she lazily asked.

"Done washing?"

"Mm!" Shih Shaoling replied.

Yue Er nodded.

"Oh!"

"Then quickly sleep, it’s getting late!"

After speaking, she rubbed the bump on her forehead from earlier and then sleepily turned over and fell asleep.

She seemed extremely tired, almost forgetting where she was and with whom she was speaking.

Her sleeping posture was the same as before, sprawling across the entire bed.

Shih Shaoling watched her comfortably sprawled on the bed, involuntarily smiling.

"This girl, she still thinks she’s in the palace!"

He leaned over, brushed aside her hair, and checked the swollen bump on her forehead.

With a bit of heartache, he left a kiss on her forehead, before smiling contentedly.

"You are finally mine!"

"Today, tomorrow, and every day afterward!"

"Yi Zhao, rest assured, I’ll definitely make you happy!"

...

Yue Er didn’t know what he said, nor realized what happened; she was deeply asleep.

Shih Shaoling, however, couldn’t sleep.

Firstly, the bed was occupied by the wife, leaving him barely any space.

Secondly, he was far too excited, having long waited for this moment, and now that it finally happened, his heart beat wildly all night, and his breath became uneven.

Thirdly, well... he simply couldn’t sleep! He’s too happy!

Midnight passed, and the fourth and fifth watches came in succession.

Shih Shaoling remained too thrilled.

Every time his feelings became overwhelming, he leaned over to kiss Yue Er on the cheek.

With each kiss, a little more excitement filled his heart.

Being with the person you love, turns out to feel like this!
