The Princess Of 100 Talents
Chapter #70
"He made my heart beat so fast." Said Lin Yao after prince Rong left.
Lin Yao looked at the room of prince Rong who had never been entered by another woman, other than the royal member (queen, princess Xiu Ying) and the servant who was in the palace.
Slowly Lin Yao stood up and walked towards the usual bed that Prince Rong had occupied.
"He had a big enough room, but he said he would come with me. Would it be alright if he stayed in the pavilion with me and mother, who was not that big?" Said Lin Yao again.
Lin Yao played a circular jade ring on his index finger.
(In ancient royal times, wedding rings were worn on the index finger or left thumb and made of the best jade)
I don't know how long Lin Yao pensively thought about the decision of prince Rong who wanted to go wherever he was going to stay. Until he fell asleep on that bed.

Kraaaaac
Feng Ying opened the door of the room then entered into the room.
"Your highness, your highness. You need to get up and get ready." Said Feng Ying trying to wake Lin Yao.
Hearing the voice, Lin Yao blinked both of his eyes.
"Feng Ying, is that you?" Said Lin Yao.
"Your Majesty, it's me."
"Your highness?"
Feng Ying smiled, "Right now you have married and become the noble consort of prince Rong, so I should also call you noble empress."
Lin Yao was speechless, although prince Rong would later go with him to stay inside the palace. But the titles of prince and empress would certainly not be lost. That's why he can only nod and accept it.
"Well, is it time to get ready?" Said Lin Yao.
"Yes, your honor. I have prepared a bath for you. And I'll help your majesty rub your hands as well as your back."
Lin Yao nodded back, then stood up from the bed.
In between by Feng Ying, Lin Yao went to the bathroom that was beside that bedroom.
A bathroom that was also quite large, made Lin Yao pause for a moment.
"What's your highness?" Said Feng Ying.
Lin Yao shook his head, "No, it's okay."
"If so, I'll help you let go of everything."
"Yes." Yeah."
Feng Ying was helping Lin Yao as long as they were inside that bathroom.
After helping Lin Yao take a bath, Feng Ying also helped Lin Yao put on the clothes she had prepared for Lin Yao and Prince Rong's wedding party tonight.
Feng Ying also helped to style Lin Yao's hair and put on makeup to make her look prettier.
"Your majesty, you are so beautiful. I'm sure you'll be the most beautiful woman." Said Feng Ying after she finished grooming Lin Yao.
"You've made me like this, thank you Feng Ying."
"Your majesty."
"His noble calling to me is like that, it makes me no different."
"You'll get used to it, your majesty."
Lin Yao nodded, "You're right."
Kraaaaac
The door of the room opened, Prince Rong who was ready to enter the room and behind him was a palace maid who carried a tray filled with food.
"Your majesty." Said Feng Ying while bending her body and taking a few steps back.
"No matter how you look, you always look so pretty." Prince Rong said to Lin Yao.
"Your majesty."
Prince Rong smiled and nodded, "I've asked the palace chef to make some food. You can eat it first before we leave for the palace hall."
"Food?"
"Right, I'm sure you won't eat too much there. So you can eat first now."
Lin Yao nodded, "He's quite considerate and kind."
Prince Rong helped Lin Yao stand up and they walked towards another table that was already neatly arranged various dishes on it.
After Lin Yao and prince Rong sat down, in front of that table. Prince Rong took out a piece of meat and placed it on top of Lin Yao's bowl.
"Eat, you must eat more." Prince Rong.
"Okay, thank you."
Prince Rong nodded.
Lin Yao stuffed the meat given by prince Rong earlier, then ate it slowly.
The two newlyweds enjoyed their meal together, while Feng Ying stood at the door with the other servants.
...----------------...
Inside the palace hall, emperors and princes from various countries had come and sat on their seats.
They all must attend the wedding of Prince Rong the famous war god of the Chao country.
"I was curious about the woman who had made the notoriously cold and ruthless war god interested and married her." Prince of Yi country.
"Right, I'm curious too." Prince of another country.
The emperor and the first prince of the He negra, who was none other than the father-in-law of princess Xiu Ying came and walked into the palace hall.
"Greetings to the glorious emperor and the noble queen, may the noble always live a long and prosperous life." Emperor He said while saluting.
"Thank you for the emperor He has come." Emperor Changming.
"Your highness prince Rong is married, of course I have to attend his wedding."
"Good, please sit."
"Thank you, your honor."
Emperor He and his son walked up and sat down in a cage that was available.
The two eyes of the first prince He looked towards his younger brother, the prince He Xuan Li. The one sitting next to Xiu Ying's daughter.
He certainly still did not accept his sister's marriage from a concubine with the woman he had long liked.
"Don't make a fuss, I won't help you if you do something here." Said Emperor He who saw the look in his first prince's eyes towards his other son and son-in-law.
"Baa... Okay, I understand you."
Princess Xiu Ying who saw the look in the eyes of the first prince He just kept silent, she actually smiled sweetly at her husband.
"Are you okay?" Prince He Xuan Li's words to Xiu Ying's daughter.
"Of course I'm fine, but your brother still can't seem to accept our marriage, your majesty."
"You're right, he's always had a very strong ambition if he wanted something."
"But I don't care, because someone who has such strong ambitions will only make himself destroyed."
"You're right my queen."
Princess Xiu Ying nodded, she felt very grateful for having such a humble husband as Prince He Xuan Li.
Although he was only the son of a deceased concubine and had married Xiu Ying's daughter, but he was much more understanding and more respectful of others.
