The man’s hands were coarse and broad, with a faint layer of calluses. In contrast, the youth in his wedding attire had slender, fair fingers.
Ning Shu looked down at his face, her heart inexplicably feeling a warmth.
He never thought he would one day marry a man.
Everyone in the palace knew that the prince was getting married today. Red decorations were hung everywhere, celebrating the joyous occasion. However, the bride wasn’t some wealthy heiress. It was Young Master Ning. Young Master Ning was handsome, and in his red wedding attire, his slender figure stood tall and proud, looking elegant and beautiful.
But upon receiving the icy stare from the prince, they immediately lowered their heads in fear.
Ning Shu didn’t know what the surrounding scene was like, but he vaguely heard those voices: “Congratulations to the King, congratulations to the King.”
“May the king and his queen grow old together.”
These are some officials from the imperial court. After all, even though the Ghost King is terrifying, he’s still a prince. They have to come and pay their respects, at least on the surface. But who would have thought that this princess turned out to be a man.
They were very embarrassed.
This… this is unbelievable! He actually married a man as his queen?! What a scandal! Never in history has there been a case of a man becoming a queen. This is just preposterous!
But what they were thinking, they dared not speak.
For fear that Bai Li Mo might get angry and kill someone on the spot.
Regardless of what these people were thinking in their hearts, Bai Li Mo’s eyes were dark. He held the young boy’s hand and walked step by step towards the tablet bearing the names of the prince and princess.
The matchmaker loudly proclaimed, “First bow to heaven and earth.”
The man beside her knelt down first, and Ning Shu somewhat dazedly followed him to kneel.
Until these things are done.
Ning Shu then felt a hand grasp hers. Bai Li Mo spoke, “I wonder if the Princess has anything she wishes to say to them?”
He was taken aback and shook his head involuntarily.
But Bai Li Mo merely tightened his grip, saying coldly, “Could it be that you, Ning’er, are unhappy about marrying this King?”
There was a hint of darkness in his words.
Then Ning Shu could only say, “Of course I’m happy.”
Bai Li Mo smiled meaningfully.
Ying Si took a cup of wine from the crowd and glanced deeply at the young man, then whispered, “My lord, I wonder if I may have a drink with Ying Qi?”
Bai Li Mo said faintly, “Ning’er has a poor tolerance for alcohol, so let this king take her place.”
Ying Si fell silent for a moment, swallowed the cup of wine in his hand, and raised his eyes: “Ying Qi, I only ask you one question, do you sincerely want to marry the Prince? If you’re marrying for me, then I would rather not have this life.”
Bai Li Mo’s face immediately darkened, his eyes narrowed as he said, “Ying Si, remember this, he is the King’s consort.”
Ying Si sarcastically said, “If the prince was so confident, he wouldn’t be putting so much pressure on people?”
Ning Shu sensed the person beside her stiffen abruptly, her anger flaring. She hurriedly lifted her head cover: “Shadow Four.”
“I willingly married the prince.”
The young man took a deep breath, his moist almond eyes looked over, gentle and pitiful: “You don’t have to feel guilty in your heart, I never wanted to leave the palace.”
He hesitated, looking at the young man with a complex expression in his eyes.
“And never thought about leaving the Prince.”
Bai Li Mo’s heart skipped a beat, though he knew the young man’s words were a lie. He couldn’t help himself, even if it was poison, he was willing to drink it.
But whenever he thought about it, the young man had done this to allow him to spare Shadow Four.
The man’s heart was filled with rage.
Ying Si moved his lips, the young man in wedding clothes was beautiful. It’s a pity it wasn’t his. He had once thought about wandering the world with the other and living a life of idyllic beauty.
but it was destined to be a missed connection.
Mo Bai Li gave the young man before him a cold glance, tightly gripping the hand of the person beside him, and couldn’t help but let out a sneer.
“Taking down the red cloth once more, he declared: ‘Shadow Four, this king spares your life.'”
From now on, you are not allowed to set foot in the capital city again.
Ying Si’s four bodies trembled slightly, and she spoke with some difficulty: “Thank you, Your Highness.”
Ying’er sighed and stopped the young man as he was leaving the palace.
Standing beside him, I said, “What made you do that?”
Ying Si Dao: “I just want to take a gamble. If I win, it wouldn’t be in vain.”
Even if I had to choose again, I wouldn’t regret it.
Ying’er couldn’t help but say, “…How could you fall for Ying Qi?”
“I don’t know either, but when I see him, I feel so at ease. Thinking about it, since I’m not going to get married and have children anyway, living like this seems pretty good.”
Yǐng Qi sighed.
Then she smiled again: “Who knows, maybe the prince will get tired of him one day. When that happens, you have to tell me.”
I’m not going to take the blame for him.
Ying Er said in a low voice, “After you leave, don’t come back. If the Prince finds out, there will be no good ending for you.”
。。。。。。
In the room, on the raised bed was a piece of vibrant red fabric. The young man sat on the bed, wanting to lift the red cloth.
“…but the maidservant reminded her, “Young Master Ning should still wait for the prince to return before unveiling her veil.””
Ning Shu could only withdraw her hand and began to stare blankly.
Until the door was pushed open, a man’s deep voice rang out: “You all get out.”
He couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
Bai Li Mo walked to his front and lifted the red cloth covering him.
His eyes looked over with a dark, brooding gaze.
Ning Shu pursed her lips, met the other person’s gaze, and felt a flush creep up her cheeks. Unable to bear it any longer, she averted her eyes first.
“Well, don’t you want to see this king’s face?”
Bai Li Mo let out a cold smile.
Ning Shu didn’t know what he was going crazy about again, she shook her head.
The man didn’t speak and half-forced him to drink a toast.
The boy coughed, his face turning red.
Bai Li Mo let go of him, then raised his hand slightly, his dark eyes looked over, and said faintly, “On your wedding night, the princess should know what to do, right?”
Ning Shu was taken aback.
The man saw the expression on his face and sneered, “Do you expect me to wait on you hand and foot?”
The young man had no choice but to stand up and take off the other person’s clothes.
It’s just getting worse.
His heart pounded with anxiety.
Ning Shu was psychologically traumatized by the last time, with pain outweighing pleasure. Furthermore, it was her first time enduring something so large, and she couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
He stopped his hand.
Bai Li Mo carried the young man onto the bed and looked down at him.
The boy in red is unbelievably handsome.
accentuating her porcelain-like skin, which was as smooth and delicate as cream.
Bai Li Mo reached in, but his hand came up empty.
