Dong Shen retired towards his living quarters, Qin Xu who was fast asleep was long dead to this world as all the wedding chaos had exhausted her completely.
After entering his room, Dong Shen directly walked towards his closet, he took off his clothes and went to take a medicinal bath.
This bath was especially recommend to him to help allevate the poisioning symptoms otherwise it would have been more difficult for him to come back unsacthed from the war.
Dong Shen came back and went towards his bed just wearing his trousers as he did not have the habit of sleeping in robes on hi upper body.
As soon as he walked towards his bed first his foot stepped on something hard like crown almost stumbling him then as he balanced himsef he again stepped on something which feltike a hair pin after steadying himself he was confused.
Are the servants of the Prince manor slacking on their jobs not even cleaning properly, he then slid in his bed and covered himself with the blanket just as he came in a comfortable position, he found that there was someone sleeping on his bed.
It was then that he realised that his newly wedded wife was sleeping on his bed and the glaring red conjugal blessing stung him in the eye.
Slowly controlling his emotions he slid off the bed and went to his study which was just beside the room to sleep for the night.
'No doubt he kept stumbling on things this foolish women littered his room with trash the day she entered his house.'
The night went uneventful, Dong Shen was still able to sleep even though many thought this might be a sleepless night for him not because of conjugal bliss but rather because of shame of marrying the number one foolish girl of the kingdom.
Truly sometimes even being a Prince is not enough if the heaven doesn't favour you even a Prince cannot be happy.
The only party truly happy were probably General Han for finding a good marriage for his Qin Xu and the Emperor, the crown and the third Prince's people because as per them they gave Dong Shen a blow of a lifetime making him a cripple through and through.
The third Prince was even preparing for tomorrow's Tea serving, for the newly married wife as how to make Dong Shen lose face however unbeknownst to him someone else was also green with envy any wanted to teach a lesson however the target of their wnvy was not Dong Shen but rather the foolish and Ugly Qin Xu.

As the morning sun rose, Qin Xu woke up looking dazed, looking at the unfamiliar surrounding the tables made of high quality mahogany and inlaid with precious gems and the king size bed made with silk canopy she realized that now she was a married women sharing her husbands room.
The husband whom she was talking about was actually in the study right now doing some work.
Qin Xu realized that today she has to visit the palace and complete the tea serving ceremony in the Palace hence she hastily got up from the bed and found her luggage which some maid might have kept for her.
"Princess Consort we are here to help you get ready to go to the palace. " Came the voice of servant from outside the door.
Qin Xu frowned, firstly she did not like getting served and secondly she knew the servant must want to either see her make a fool of herself or gossip about her hence she said she doesn't need any help and will call if she needed any and went to look at the bath house.
What appeared before her wad an exquisite looking bathhouse it would seem that Prince Dong Shen's manor was truly one of a kind heactually made his manor near a hot spring and the bathhouse was attached to the hot springs for a relaxing dips and after getting freshened up and doing her daily business she hastily took off her robes and slid inside the hot spring completely relaxed.
Dong Shen has woken up much earlier but as he has just returned from a war he has to present a complete report to his father hence he was busy working in his study after completing his work he came towards his main room.
Looking at the messy bed and not seeing that women he relaxed perhaps she has already gone for breakfast, hence he decide to take a dip in his hot spring before getting ready to go to the palace.
As soon as he entered the bathhouse he was shocked still, slowly a women's swan like white neck followed by a flushed red back came into his view, he had no idea someone was bathing in his hot spring and looking at that sight made his blood boil and move in opposite direction but he was a great general afterall and honey trap would not work on him.
Because he was used to live alone no one trespassed in his territory now it's seems like he will have to create rules otherwisw this ugly fool might think that he was trying to seduce her anyway he have heard that such kind of people were shameless and clingy, this might be her move to sway him with her body afraid that he would abandon her due to her ugliness.
But how can a fool know of such trickery? What is she is a ugly but cunning person? a myriad of thoughts were going through Dong Shen's head.
'No this can't do if she really is cunning then she will soon become a double edged sword and might stab him in the future. '
He will have to find a way to get rid of this women once and for all.
With such a resolve in his mind Dong Shen called ShenJi whispering something in his ears.
"ShenJi this time make no mistake. "
"As you command your highness. "
