Tang Zhuyun imagined a whole bunch of things, but Qin Sang taught very seriously.
People say, "Your Majesty, I won't teach you those tricks to please men; I'll teach you how to protect yourself and avoid being hurt."
Tang Zhuyun said weakly, "Actually, I can learn a little bit of everything; I'm smart enough."
Qin Sang: "..."
Her eyes seemed to say, "So this is what you're like, Your Majesty."
Tang Zhuyun: I'm going all in, I'm the one!
The master taught very diligently, and the apprentice learned meticulously as well.
However, she couldn't compare to Zong Xueci, who put his ideas into practice; Tang Zhuyun was merely a theorist.
Qin Sang stayed here for the entire afternoon and didn't leave until evening.
Tang Zhuyun said, "Hearing your words is better than watching ten years of movies!"
They're all eager and ready to try, now they just need to put their skills into practice!
The wedding process was incredibly complicated, with tears of reluctance and worry from the father and brothers, the children's excitement, the bumpy sedan chair, the heavy phoenix crown... When Tang Zhuyun thought about it later, she only felt it was a mess.
She also has many clear and profound memories.
For example, on the night before her marriage, Meng Yulan slept with her and told her many principles of being a matriarch.
For example, on her wedding day, Tang Mingfan's eyes were red the whole time. The moment he put the veil on her head, Tang Zhuyun saw tears fall from his eyes.
For example, when Tang Baixin carried her out and handed her over to Prince of Jin, he was reluctant to let go.
For example, the seven brothers of the Xue Family shouted in unison that Prince of Jin should treat her well, otherwise they would rush to Prince of Jin's Residence to pick her up.
Tang Zhuyun was both sad and expectant, her emotions twisted like a pretzel.
She sat in the bridal sedan chair, holding the precious bottle, and felt the chair land. Then she waited for Prince of Jin to kick the door of the sedan chair.
--Xiu'er had warned her before not to peek around, or she might get kicked and disfigured by the Prince of Jin.
So Tang Zhuyun not only didn't peek out, but also cleverly leaned back while holding the treasure bottle.
After all, the Prince of Jin has long legs, so the safe distance should be even longer.
As a result, the Prince of Jin merely gave it a token kick, barely moving the sedan curtain, before reaching inside...
"Rolling around--"
"A-Yun?" Dressed in new clothes and beaming with joy, Prince of Jin was stunned and tentatively called out softly.
Tang Zhuyun frantically tried to grab the rolling treasure bottle, not daring to make a sound for fear of being overheard and laughed at.
Why is this broken bottle so slippery?
The Prince of Jin couldn't hear her and couldn't reach her with his hand, so he panicked and couldn't help but crawl inside.
Then I saw Tang Zhuyun lying in the huge bridal sedan chair, sticking her head out and reaching for a bottle...
The Prince of Jin couldn't help but chuckle. "Don't panic, don't be nervous, A-Yun, I'm here."
Tang Zhuyun finally managed to hug the bottle and said in a muffled voice, "Let's go."
If they don't go out soon, people will think they're having their wedding night in a sedan chair!
Didn't you hear that? Even the music has stopped?
This has certainly broadened their horizons.
Originally, the two should have each held a red silk ribbon, but Prince of Jin held her hand tightly without saying a word, constantly reminding her to watch her step.
His hands were large and warm, giving people a sense of security.
After the wedding ceremony, Tang Zhuyun was led to the bridal chamber.
The Prince of Jin immediately lifted the veil.
The matchmaker, holding the scale, was stunned.
Tang Zhuyun, seeing the stunned matchmaker, couldn't help but laugh and muttered, "Your Highness, what's the rush!"
Fortunately, Prince of Jin has never been popular, and there are hardly any outsiders in the new house.
Prince of Jin, Tang Zhuyun, Linlin, Yanran, Nanny Rong, Xiu'er, Nanxing, plus a wedding attendant, that's all.
The Prince of Jin acted quickly, removing the phoenix crown from her and saying, "It's too heavy. You must be very hot wearing so much. I'm going out for a bit and will be right back. Change your clothes."
That's quite considerate...
Nanny Rong led everyone out, leaving only Xiu'er to stay and keep Tang Zhuyun.
Tang Zhuyun changed her clothes, stretched her neck, and said, "Is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry!"
"These are all your favorite dishes," Xiu'er said, pointing to the table. "His Highness had them prepared in advance."
"Then eat quickly, eat quickly."
"Your Highness, please eat less." Xiu'er stamped her foot anxiously as she watched her eat heartily. "You'll look so ugly with a bulging belly, like a toad!"
Since this is the first time we've faced each other directly, can't we at least maintain some semblance of aesthetics?
Tang Zhuyun: "... His Highness still has to go out and entertain guests, he won't be back for a while! Are you hungry? Here, have a steamed bun."
Xiu'er was speechless.
"Your Highness, please think carefully. Do we have any guests at the Prince's residence?"
Tang Zhuyun exclaimed in surprise, "Although... it can't be that bad, can it?"
"It's not that bad, but!" Xiu'er said, "Do you think His Highness will even consider them a threat?"
Before the words were even finished, the door had already been pushed open.
Prince of Jin: "A-Yun, I'm back!"
Seeing his beaming face, Tang Zhuyun really wanted to ask, "Are you so proud of not having any friends?"
Weddings here are different from modern ones. The bride is picked up in the afternoon, and everyone eats and drinks in the evening... However, in order to show his respect for Tang Zhuyun, Prince of Jin had the bridal sedan chair circle the city once, so it is now pitch black outside.
Xiu'er said, "Your Highness, this servant will take her leave."
You should apply what you've learned and seek your own good fortune.
She used to address people haphazardly, but now that she's entered the Prince's residence, she represents the Empress's image and must try her best to avoid making mistakes and bringing shame upon the Empress.
Only the two of them remained in the room, so quiet that they could almost hear each other breathing.
Tang Zhuyun's heart was pounding, but she remained outwardly calm, smiling as she said, "Your Highness, would you like to have something to eat?"
To everyone's surprise, the Prince of Jin agreed and sat down opposite her.
However, his mind was clearly not on the food.
What he wanted to eat was her.
"A-Yun, you can swim, right?"
Tang Zhuyun had just taken a sip of soup when she was so shocked she almost spat it out.
"What are you going to do?" she asked, swallowing her soup and looking at him with suspicion.
"I'll take you to Mu Hai, do you want to go?"
Tang Zhuyun: While others spend their wedding nights together in blissful union, she spent hers swimming in pairs?
How can it be so pure and... eerie?
The Prince of Jin said in a low voice, "I've heard that it might not hurt as much in the water."
Tang Zhuyun was touched, but she said in a cheeky tone, "Your Highness, since you're afraid of pain, I'll go slower."
Prince of Jin: "..."
"But if we go out, who knows if someone might be secretly watching?"
In these matters, proceed step by step, follow the proper procedures, and avoid taking unconventional approaches.
