CHAPTER 3. It's better to be friends
"Well, I'll marry you."
The fear that had once plagued me was now gone. Prince xuan changed his mind and finally accepted the marriage that had been arranged by his emperor father.
'let's see! What is your real aim, Bai Xue Jian?
***
After all the fuss and confusion that has been going on since morning, this afternoon the wedding ceremony can finally take place at the chunshi mansion.
Both couples followed the marriage ceremony after the Chinese custom. Not many visitors were present, just a few small officials and royal messengers who delivered wedding gifts to prince xuan and general xue.
So many incidents before the wedding ceremony but in the end it still works out well even when it's completely imperfect. Helian qi and bai xue jian have been legally married and married to each other.
It's incalculable how many people are talking about these two marriages. Different worlds, even ridiculed being the butt of all people in the kingdom of wei.
A bright future, thought to be destroyed by itself. According to society and officials, it is appropriate to marry general Xue. An ambitious general of war, perfectly fit to be the crown princess sitting next to the future king.
The fantasy is only in the minds of people and officials, the decision is in bai xue jian himself because he is the one who lives and is open
***
Day had turned into night, in the bridal chamber the bride was sitting in her bedroom. The whole room had been richly decorated in red, little candles burning in every corner making this silence almost sound romantic.
The bridal suite has been richly decorated. Now all that remains is for the bridegroom to enter the room. His wife had been waiting, sitting with her head covered in a red cloth.
From the look of her face, there's no veil like the day before. If only that cloth were lifted, then bai xue jian's pretty face would be very clear. However, according to the ritual, only the newly married husband should remove the cloth.
Tak tak tak ...
The footsteps start to sound. The heart starts beating very rapidly, as does unbearably hard sweat and begins to stretch across the face.
Likely a general of xue was nervous about having his first night with him. Can't imagine what this night will be like.
Brak!
The door that was open was closed. Prince xuan has also entered the room. Stumbling around drunk after celebrating with the guests.
He only had a few small glasses and was very easily drunk. Having such thoughts as a child, helian qi rarely drank alcohol even in his life.
The man in red's garment directed his gaze at the bed in front of him. We got a few more yards to get there. Helian qi waddled about with two dim eyes as he looked forward.
Tak ... Tak ...
A step, two steps, just a few more steps to get to the woman on the lip of the bed. The woman bowed her head and still had not said anything until her husband was right in front of her.
Tak ... Tak ... Brak!
"Prince!"
Just a step away from the sudden collapse of helian qi. Already felt so dizzy that he could no longer hold his own weight to walk.
Quickly Bai Xue Jian stood up and approached her husband. Bai xue jian is about to get his hands, although his eyes still do not see straight in front because his head is covered with red cloth.
"Prince, you're okay, right?" in a panic he asked for helian qi to sit on the edge of the bed.
"I'll get ..."
Wuusshh,...
"...?!"
The red cloth over bai xue jian's head was suddenly pulled by her husband. The general was so surprised by this sudden treatment.
The smooth skin, the blue eyes like jade, and also the sweet little red lips, the perfect face of this great general has been shown before her husband.
So beautiful that he made helian qi raise his eyes when he looked at the woman he had just married. Though this afternoon has been met but the half of bai xue jian's face is covered by his veil makes him invisible.
Now looking directly at him, beauty bai xue jian will never be found anywhere in this kingdom. This beautiful and powerful woman has become the official wife of helian qi, looking at her face has made a huge fortune in her life.
"Prince, are you okay?" the same question has been asked back but in a state of the face has been shown.
"I'll make you some stew soup."
Just about to get up but bai xue jian's hands are held even drawn to sit back by her husband's.
Brak!
Bai xue jian's body was pushed back into bed He kept his eyes shut as he watched helian qi boil over his body.
'no! I can't let the prince touch me. If the prince touches me, he'll get it later.'
Hurry up and wake him up. Bai xue jian pushed the body of helian qi and quickly rose from the bed. He was standing about breathing, which was a little cramped, holding in his own feelings.
"Why did you leave? Do you dislike me?" helian qi asked for clarity.
"People say that a man who is married can touch his wife anywhere. Why did you forbid me to touch you?" he asked again.
He was heard grimacing to demand an explanation from his wife. Her thoughts had been influenced by the words of people out there about the meaning of marriage.
Helian Qi sat curled up on the bed, folding his arms around his legs. Her face looked as sad as a child who had not been given sweets to fruit by her mother alone.
"Aaa ... That's true but what a marriage relationship is not fun. It would be more fun to have a friendly relationship," replied Bai Xue Jian.
The woman sat on the edge of the bed again and began to explain to her husband: "the prince likes to play, doesn't he? I'm not only your wife but I also want to be your friend. I want to accompany the prince to play everyday. The prince accepts me as a friend, right?"
"Hmm ... Okay."
'this woman is so attractive!'
"From now on you are my friend," Helian Qi said with happiness on his face.
Her right hand pressed forward with the finger pointing the little finger between the folded fingers. Bai Xue Jian who looked at it was a little stunned for a moment but he immediately regained consciousness.
She countered by equally holding out his little finger and folding it on the finger of helian qi. This is a helian qi friendship ritual. The prince welcomed his new playmate from now on.
'only new friends can keep him close. I promise to protect you until my breath is completely over.'
'I don't know why this woman approached me! If he is the queen's pawn, then your life will really be mine!'
