“What a nice smell!” One of the imperial chefs closed his eyes, greedily inhaling the rich aroma of food in the air, his face filled with intoxication.
“It smells so damn good. What are His Majesty and Beauty Bei cooking? It smells so good.”
Outside, a murmur of discussion lingered, while two people bustled about in the kitchen. Bei Yutang, spoon in hand, plated the last dish, her work complete.
The door to the imperial kitchen opened, and a waft of the aroma of food instantly filled the air. The imperial chefs’ eyes unconsciously flicked to the dishes inside, each one filled with curiosity.
“Send those dishes to the pavilion, and quickly.” Feng Chi ordered the chief eunuch.
“Yes. I’ll send someone to do it right away.”
From some point on, everyone noticed that the King had changed. He was no longer cruel.
The ministers in the court were practically in tears; they finally no longer had to worry about their heads falling off at any moment.
The palace servants were even more delighted.
The King had become easier to serve. No, to be more precise, as long as Beauty Bei was served well, His Majesty would be happy. As long as Beauty Bei was happy, His Majesty would never be unhappy.
If Beauty were unhappy, they would be in trouble.
Thus, everyone in the palace knew that Beauty Bei was the true boss.
They served Bei Yutang even more diligently and attentively than they had served Feng Chi.
Bei Yutang had become the true and well-deserved Queen of the Feng Kingdom.
When Feng Chi raised this matter in court, none of the ministers dared to object. Bei Yutang’s status as the Queen of the Feng Kingdom was set in stone. Once the date for the coronation ceremony was confirmed, the entire palace erupted in activity.
Bei Yutang didn’t care about empty titles; what she always wanted was the real person. Just being by his side, waking up with him every day, eating together, cooking together, and doing countless things together—that was the simple life she desired.
However, since he wanted to give her the position of queen, she would comply.
On the day of the coronation ceremony, all officials paid homage, and the people paid their respects. With heaven and earth as witnesses, they burned incense and prayed.
Bei Yutang was wearing a bright red palace dress embroidered with a golden phoenix.
She walked step by step toward the man on the high platform, and the officials around her watched her go.
The road was very long, but also seemed very short. With every step she took, a bell would chime.
When the ninety-nine bells rang, Bei Yutang was already standing in front of Feng Chi. Looking at the pair of big hands in front of her, she placed her hands in his hands without hesitation.
Feng Chi held her hands, holding them tightly.
The two of them stood side by side on the altar, burning incense and praying.
An hour later, the ceremony was over.
When Bei Yutang returned to the bedroom, she saw a pair of red candles and a pair of wine glasses placed in the room, and the bed covered with red dates, peanuts, longans, and other items.
“Queen, please put on your veil.” A nanny handed the red veil to her.
Bei Yutang stared at the items in surprise.
“What is this?”
The nanny replied respectfully, “His Majesty said that the previous wedding ceremony was for the Queen of the Feng Kingdom. This wedding is for his wife.”
The nanny repeated Feng Chi’s words word for word.
As soon as the nanny finished, Feng Chi entered the inner hall, already dressed in the most common red wedding attire.
Bei Yutang felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She covered her head with the veil and sat on the edge of the bed.
Once upon a time, she had been a bride.
Back then, she waited anxiously for her future husband to lift her red veil. She had always believed that the gentle and refined King Jin would be a good match for her, but she never imagined it was all a scam.
