The Little Consort's
Eps. 97: Wedding Night

Li Anlan exhaled a tired breath while sitting himself in the chair. The woman's face was very tangled like a thread whose knot was a mess. The queen's official robe she took off, and then she threw it anywhere. He's very upset. The mood dropped dramatically.

After the wedding ceremony and coronation, Li Anlan was preoccupied with various welcoming activities as the Queen of Dongling Kingdom as well as celebrating her marriage to Long Ji Man. The man did not follow his words. Unbeknownst to him, Long Ji Man had apparently prepared a large banquet to celebrate his grand wedding.

When he asked, Long Ji Man replied that a king's marriage to his empress should not be simple. A little waste is okay, as long as there is a good impression from everyone, it will be safe.

After all, holding a lavish banquet to celebrate the king's wedding did not require the owner of the event to pay from a private pocket. Such affairs were already well-regulated by the Bureau of the Palace Household.

Long Ji Man as a man certainly wants the best on his happy day. Regardless of his status and position as a king and leader of the country, he is still a man who wants his precious moments to be memorable. That was why he secretly prepared a magnificent wedding party through a royal banquet without Li Anlan knowing.

The perfect King and Queen couple should welcome the many invited guests present. Of course, they were not just from among the officials or ministers and the royal family. In fact, guests of border envoys and other countries also came to congratulate. Long Ji Man was unmitigated to invite people.

Li Anlan's face felt numb from having to smile all day. Of all the days, this is the hardest day. Somehow the wedding and coronation day that was once very serious and sacred turned into a funeral in the eyes of Li Anlan.

His personal servant then massaged his shoulder. He also cried because he was overwhelmed. Xie Roulan was happy because now her beloved master became the Queen of Dongling Kingdom. They no longer need to bother skimping or shopping secretly. Her employer is now the number one woman, the greatest woman she has never regretted serving.

“Come on, don't make my day worse!” li Anlan's annoyance at his servant.

“Mistress, I was dreaming. You're great, you're the greatest woman!”

“Good, keep dreaming and never wake up.”

“No. If I don't wake up, who will serve you?”

“If you already know, don't cry. Okay?”

Xie Roulan nodded. The maid then picked up the Queen's dressing gown which was specially sewn by a top fashion designer in Dongling Kingdom. She helped her employer remove all the head-straining accessories. Crowns, hairpins, earrings and some other jewelry are placed inside a wooden jewelry box.

“Mistress, from now on I can't call you that name anymore,” said Li Anlan while looking down.

“Why?”

“Mrs a Queen. My call was supposed to change,” knit Xie Roulan.

“Then what name did you use to call me?”

“Yang Mulia.”

Hearing the call, Li Anlan's ears were itchy. The mention of ‘nyonya’ is already familiar in the ear, now it suddenly has to change to ‘Yang Mulia’. Perhaps he would need a lot of time to get used to the new vocation that suited his status and standing.

“No, no. My ears are itching to hear it. Roulan, remember this. In your eyes, I am the Royal Consort, you must still call me madam. Understand?”

“But, what if His Majesty the King is angry?”

“He wouldn't dare. I'm sure Long Ji Man quite understands.”

Despite the somewhat objection, Xie Roulan was unable to resist. As a faithful servant, what else could he do if he did not obey his master's orders? Xie Roulan had long been beside Li Anlan. The servant girl had already very much understood the nature and character of her master.

The night is late. Based on modern hour counts, it should be nine o'clock by a quarter of the night by now. Li Anlan was usually already sleeping and had already ventured into dreamland. But, tonight, somehow the drowsiness that usually strikes does not come. The woman sat in the main seat while playing a porcelain cup filled with a beautiful cold drink.

It's her wedding night. A woman who is already the wife of a man, may have to do something with her husband. Li Anlan's thoughts had not yet reached that stage. He was still trying to digest all sorts of events that led him to this day. Between believing and not believing, but Li Anlan knew very well that everything was real.

The main door of Xingyue Palace suddenly opened. Long Ji Man who was still officially dressed in royal clothes entered Xiao Biqi. The man seemed to have just finished hosting the grand guests at Taiji Palace. Seeing his wife sitting pensively with thoughts drifting, Long Ji Man smiled. He stepped towards Li Anlan, then sat down on the chair in front of Li Anlan as he continued to look at her.

“You haven't slept?”

“Your Highness,”

“Why is your face like a tangled thread?”

“It's okay.”

“You sure? If you feel uncomfortable, I will sleep in Hongwu.” Palace

“No, don't go anywhere.”

Anxious with his wife's behavior, Long Ji Man immediately carried Li Anlan to bed. Li Anlan was suffocating as her body was suddenly lifted. His hands reflexively draped around Long Ji Man's neck. The man laid her on the bed right on the innermost side. After which, he immediately laid down beside Li Anlan. His royal robes were still attached to his body.

A minute passed. Li Anlan and Long Ji Man slept side by side in a recumbent position. Red cloths were waving over the bed. Five minutes, fifteen minutes, thirty minutes passed in silence. Li Anlan and Long Ji Man were still in a conscious state. Their eyes were still open staring at the ceiling, but their minds were walking on their own.

“Your Highness,” call Li Anlan after such a long silence.

“Em?”

“What is this our first night?”

Stupid question, Li Anlan said in his heart. He regretted his mouth that could not be compromised. Clearly this was the wedding night, why would he bother asking?

“Maybe. Huang An, are you nervous?”

“Slight.”

The situation is back in silence. Li Anlan and Long Ji Man both had no idea what they should do now. They were silent, but their hearts were beating. If there is CCTV, the person watching may laugh out loud at the behavior of this married couple.

“Huang An,” now it's Long Ji Man's turn to call Li Anlan.

“Ya?”

“What should we do now?”

“I don't know. Your Majesty should not ask me.”

“True too. You're still a girl.”

“Your Majesty ever fucked a woman?”

“No.”

“Then are you a virgin?”

“Ya.”

“Is it true you never touched a woman? Including Han Jinxi?”

“No. I told you he was just my friend.”

“How about Xu Lingsu? Duanmu Shui's? Da Lixia?”

The words of Li Anlan who continuously mentioned the name of another woman made Long Ji Man anxious as well as upset. This was their wedding night, why should there be another woman present despite just a name? Can the woman just shut up and focus on talking about the story of the two of them?

Long Ji Man then leaned his body until his position became half lying down. He brought his body closer to Li Anlan's body while glinting mischievously. Seeing her husband's strange gurgle, Li Anlan's eyes squinted suspiciously. The distance that was too close made the hearts of both of them beat very fast.

When Li Anlan was about to speak for Long Ji Man to slightly move away, his mouth was suddenly silenced by Long Ji Man with his mouth. That sudden incident left Li Anlan stunned for a moment. He was like a wooden statue that could not move. His eyes stared blankly at the ceiling of the room.

“Never mention the name of another woman when there are only the two of us,” Long Ji Man said as he lifted his face.

“Women? Wh who? Who am I calling?” li Anlan was like a fool who had lost his memory.

Long Ji Man did not reply. The man's hand moved slowly towards the rope wrapped around Li Anlan's clothes. His eyes stared in beads of eyes as beautiful as the brilliance of Li Anlan. When he pulled his hand, Li Anlan's hand held him back until the clothes were still knotted.

“What do you want to do?” li Anlan asked with caution.

“See something.”

“What do you want to see?”

“Everything. Wh why? I've even seen it a few times,” Long Ji Man replied while still pulling the clothes rope.

“Everything? When?”

“Reclaration.”

Li Anlan was about to get up, but his body was held back by Long Ji Man. The woman lay back down. Long Ji Man instantly locked it with his own body. Now, Li Anlan could not move freely because every time he moved, his limbs would touch Long Ji Man's limbs.

“Huang An, don't dodge anymore. Tonight is our wedding night.”

“What's up with the wedding night?”

Either Li Anlan was still innocent or because of his stupid brain. In this world, she may be the only woman who asks about something that cannot be said clearly. Long Ji Man was getting less and less resistant. This woman made him into a man who held back anger and something that kept appearing at some time. Long Ji Man wanted to immediately make Li Anlan his entire possession!

Li Anlan knew he would not be able to run again. What is the burden on his heart now? She had already decided to become Long Ji Man's only wife. His entire soul and body should have been handed over to the man of his choice. There can be no doubt, his heart can no longer waver. Once again Li Anlan confirmed to herself: this is her destiny!

“Huang An, are you ready?”

“Ready or unprepared, isn't it the same?”

“Huang An, your whole soul and body is mine. Your heart is mine. Later, there will be no one else to fill the empty space in your heart because I will fill and lock the door.”

I don't know who started it, but the appearance of the lips of the two people had already aroused such a huge surge. It was like a burning fire, burning up the entire bone marrow and soul niche. Their breaths were like the pounding of the waves on the high seas roaring for the edge. They are like ships in the midst of a storm seeking a resting place. All rocks and strong winds that hit are not a barrier. The ship continued to sail through the night, looking for a bright day.

The mid-autumn wind blew patting the remaining peach leaves. The sound of the night beast was like a choir singing in the middle of an orchestra. In the sky, the moon shone brightly. The moon is like a happy smile to see the union of two people who are destined to be together despite the difference in the world.

That night, the whole heaven and earth witnessed a masterpiece of the mighty and holy One. The rest of the world spoke, accompanying the journey of two humans to the throne of sacred and eternal love. All beings on the face of the earth like to join conclude the bond to unite the two with a magical bond that is so strong.
