Chapter 3 (1/2)

In the situation where one is married into the wife’s family, frankly put, the bride’s only job is wait at the palace for the marriage ceremony. Unfortunately for the groom Lin Shan, not only does the ceremony take an unG.o.dly amount of time, there are also a great deal of troublesome formality and customs on top of it, more burdensome than a common marriage by a hundred times. To a modern person, this process was truly torture.

Even so, this undertaking was not without harvest.

Inside the palace who doesn’t want to curry the Emperor’s favor? Today, the daughter that the Emperor loved the most is getting married, isn’t this the best opportunity for them? A bunch of royal officials surrounded Lin Shan, constantly giving their congratulations while handing over a pile of blindingly bright gold, silver and jewellery.

Looking at the ma.s.s of valuables in front of her, all the tiredness disappeared and Lin Shan even become more devoted to the ceremony.

Lin Shan smiled happily as she looked at Little Lu ordering the servants to carry the gifts away while she continued to offer drinks.

Speaking of alcohol, Lin Shan couldn’t stop praising herself. She knew that it would be hard to avoid drinking at a wedding, unfortunately her tolerance is scarily low. Afraid of accidently revealing her secrets, she ordered Little Lu to switch the wine with water. When people looked, they all thought that this Prince Consort could hold his liquor, and applauded non-stop.

“Even though the prince consort looks frail, his tolerance is so high. He definitely lives up to the t.i.tle of Minister’s son.”

“You really can’t judge with your eyes, the Princess has chosen a worthy partner, it’s such a beautiful union!”

….

Hearing these approving comments, Lin Shan could only hold in her laughter.

This is the best evidence for the benefits of wisdom! Only an idiot would drink real wine.

While she was getting carried away, trouble has found its way to her in the form of the Emperor.

“Luo child, today you have married Ming Yue, now that you are Our son-in-law, you must treat the Princess well from now on, understood?”

He is definitely worthy of the emperor t.i.tle, only lightly saying a few words was enough to make Lin Shan feel guilty. I am a girl, how do I “treat” the Princess well? Do you want me to give her ma.s.sages and backrubs?

Even though she was howling inside, Lin Shan still obediently nod “Your child will follow your Highness’s bidding”.

The emperor’s face broke into a wide grin, continuously nodding in approval. Finally he also did not forget to call out: “Servants, offer wine!”

Wine??? Once Lin Shan heard this, tears nearly escaped from her eyes.

Why didn’t anyone tell her about this wine gifting matter? Wine gifted by the Emperor cannot be rejected, furthermore, this wine can’t be switched by Little Lu. This wine, two cups was already enough to make her dizzy, if she drank some more, everything could be ruined.

Luckily she was clever, she knew that before she was really drunk she need to fake drunk. Behind her there was still a queue of people who wanted to offer her liquor, she could only fake drunk, hands holding the wine cup while her body slightly stumbles side to side.

“Song brother, be careful!” Suddenly a person held out his arm to hold her up, it was Third Prince, third brother of Du Ming Yue- Du Jing.

Speaking of this person, once again the list of most handsome of the capital must be mentioned. These past few days Little Lu has been gossiping non-stop about these people.

This person along with Song Lin Fang are tied for the t.i.tle of third most handsome in the Capital, but both looks and personality of these two people are at the polar opposites.

Song Big Brother is known to be as graceful as a pearl, in the capital countless young women wors.h.i.+pped him, but he only poured his affection towards the General’s daughter, treating his lover above everything else, even his own life. This has broken who knows how many young girls’ hearts.
