Baili Hongzhuang couldn't be bothered to waste time with Emperor Beichen's empty words. She clinked her cup against his and said, "Happy cooperation!"
Emperor Beichen's smile became more cheerful, and he raised his head to finish his drink. "With a beauty by my side, this wine tastes even better."
"Has Baili Zhentao left?" Baili Hongzhuang asked calmly.
"If you publicly humiliate him like that, how can he continue to stay?" Emperor Beichen retorted. "He left with the excuse of not feeling well. Tsk, tsk, from now on, Baili Zhentao is bound to hate me completely."
With an innocent expression, Emperor Beichen looked at Baili Hongzhuang with clear and bright eyes.
"My wife, you must comfort my wounded heart."
Baili Hongzhuang chuckled softly, "You're already quite detestable."
Even she hadn't expected Emperor Beichen to take things this far, not giving Baili Zhentao any face in front of the public and putting him in an embarrassing situation with his words.
"You're being unfair with those words, my wife. I did all this for you," Emperor Beichen said.
Hearing that, Baili Hongzhuang shrugged her shoulders, not saying anything, but feeling deeply moved inside.
Emperor Beichen had considered her feelings when he did all this. Regardless, he was taking a certain risk by doing so in front of the Emperor.
But Emperor Beichen clearly knew this and still chose to do it, which was enough to explain everything.
After a moment, Baili Hongzhuang spoke lightly, "Thank you."
She knew very well that even if the Emperor was present, she would never bow to Baili Zhentao. If that were to happen, the situation would become even more difficult to handle.
A glimmer of light flashed in Emperor Beichen's deep eyes, and his mouth suddenly curved into a suggestive smile.
"My wife, now that you're already my queen, there's no need for such formalities," he said. "As they say, the night is short. It would be a waste to spend it chatting. How about doing something more meaningful?"
With his words, Emperor Beichen's tone became incredibly suggestive.
Baili Hongzhuang's face turned slightly red. On their wedding night, she naturally understood what ordinary couples would do.
"That's right. The night is already late, and it's indeed time to rest," Baili Hongzhuang nodded slightly.
Emperor Beichen's eyes gleamed, looking expectantly at Baili Hongzhuang as he prepared to lie down and rest.
"You're right, my wife. Today, we should rest well."
He intentionally emphasized the words "rest well," and a playful smile appeared on Emperor Beichen's face.
However, the next moment, Baili Hongzhuang directly threw two quilts at Emperor Beichen and smiled elegantly and charmingly.
"You can sleep on the floor tonight. Rest well."
As she finished speaking, Baili Hongzhuang lay directly on the bed, proving everything with her actions.
Seeing Baili Hongzhuang's actions, Emperor Beichen looked at the two quilts in his hands and let out a helpless smile, but his eyes revealed a hint of doting.
Seeing that Emperor Beichen didn't say anything and simply lay down on the floor to rest, Baili Hongzhuang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Even though she had lived two lives, she still had no experience in this regard.
Lying on the comfortable big bed, Baili Hongzhuang found herself unable to fall asleep for a long time. Perhaps she had become too accustomed to the hard wooden bed in Yaxuan Pavilion, and for a while, she couldn't adapt to such a soft mattress.
