Although nervous at that time, she was even more filled with longing for her future husband. When Tang Jingyu took off the veil, she was nervous and apprehensive.
She had thought that he would be a good match for her, but the end result was so disastrous.
Now, sitting by the bed again, with the red veil on, her mood was completely different. Although she felt apprehensive, she was also filled with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and joy.
This was the difference between love and not love.
What she once thought was love, she now realized, was not love at all, but simply because he was her husband, her heaven.
Feng Chi used the wedding scale to lift the red veil and gazed at her with deep affection.
The nanny handed over the wedding cups of wine.
Feng Chi took two cups, holding one in his hand and handing the other to her.
“Bride, groom, drink the wedding cup of wine.” The nanny chanted with a smile.
They clasped their hands, stared at each other, and drank the wedding cups in one gulp.
After the wedding wine was finished, Feng Chi said to the crowd, “Everyone will receive a reward.”
The palace maids and nannies in the hall knelt down to express their gratitude.
With a wave of his hand, everyone filed out.
Feng Chi held her hand, “Madam.”
Bei Yutang understood, “Husband.”
A night of love was worth a thousand gold, the red tent rolled, and the love lingered.
Whether it was the outside world or the palace, everyone was saying that the King had changed after meeting the Queen, no longer cruel, and the dynasty had become well-organized.
However, while the people were pleased to see the tyrant’s demise, some were not.
Some began to spread rumors about Feng Chi, but Feng Chi directly sent a large army to suppress them, and the rumors disappeared in an instant.
Years passed, spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and Feng Chi’s talents convinced the ministers in the court. The king of the past was talented but cruel, but the king of today was wise, which was undoubtedly a blessing for the people and a blessing for the ministers.
Perhaps the current king’s excessive wisdom had emboldened these ministers, and trouble was about to begin.
Feng Chi sat on the throne, while the court officials below began to speak.
“Your Majesty, the harem has been empty for many years. We should hold a selection to fill the harem and ensure the continuation of the royal family.” The one who made the proposal was the Prime Minister, the head of all officials.
Then two more officials came forward to speak, all about the same thing.
After they finished speaking, seeing that the King was indifferent, the Minister of Rites stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, the Queen has not been able to have an heir for many years. For the sake of the royal bloodline, I hope Your Majesty will restart the selection.”
“I second the motion.”
“I second the motion.”
…
Feng Chi’s expression remained calm, making it impossible to discern his emotions, let alone his inner thoughts. He stared at them coldly, his voice apathetic, “Are you finished?”
The ministers below him were puzzled by his meaning.
Seeing they remained silent, Feng Chi spoke directly, “The Minister of Rites has spoken disrespectfully and insulted the Queen. He is removed from his position, imprisoned, and executed in three days.”
All the ministers looked up in shock. When they saw Feng Chi’s long-lost bloodthirsty smile on his lips, they were frightened and turned pale. The memories of the cruel monarchs in the past flooded back like a tide.
Two years of peace and tranquility, coupled with the King’s wisdom, had made them forget his previous brutality and murder.
The guards stepped forward and dragged the Minister of Rites away.
He quickly begged for mercy, “Your Majesty, spare my life. I acknowledge my guilt.”
No matter how he begged for mercy, Feng Chi’s decision could not be changed.
“Who still wants this King to open a harem?”
Everyone knelt down in fear, lowering their heads and not daring to speak.
