After a day of tedious etiquette, Fu Jiujiu was exhausted, feeling like she had fought ten masters in a wheel battle. Her whole body ached, and most importantly, her stomach was growling with hunger.

It was still very lively outside, she hadn't had a moment of peace all day. If it wasn't for the bridesmaids repeatedly reminding her not to lift the veil herself, she would have done so already. And that phoenix crown, it was solid gold, weighing at least eight ounces, pressing down on her neck until it ached.

She had at least been trained in martial arts since she was young, but even then, she found herself struggling. She couldn't imagine how those noble ladies who had spent their lives in the confines of their homes and had little to no physical activity could possibly endure it.

Fu Jiujiu didn't want to faint from hunger later, so she called out to Nian Xia to watch over her as she entered the space and had a big meal.

When he came out again, he discovered that his eye patch was gone, and he had transformed into Tang Xian.

"You... how did you get here?" Fu Jiujiu looked at him, still a little dazed.

"Hungry enough to steal some food?" Tang Xian chuckled softly.

When he came in, the little girl was sitting very straight. He didn't think much of it, but when he lifted the curtain, he saw that she had her eyes closed.

He immediately guessed what was going on and quickly sent the bridesmaid out. He waited for her to come out by himself.

Fu Jiujiu was indignant, "No, no, start over. I haven't even experienced lifting the veil!"

Tang Xian smiled wryly, "I've already lifted it. Who would lift the red veil twice at a wedding?"

Fu Jiujiu said nonchalantly, "So what? In our next life, when we get married, I won't need you to lift the bridal veil."

Tang Xian was speechless, "You're clearly being unreasonable."

Finally, he couldn't resist her, so he could only let her put the veil back on and then lift it again.

Fujuju will be happy now.

I just wanted to pull him over so I could lean on him for a bit, but before Tang Xian could even sit down, people outside had already started calling.

"Lao Qi, it's still early, come have a drink with us. You won't get away today."

"That's right, it's not as fun to drink without the groom here."

Tang Yan and Tang Yi, the two older brothers, were obviously playing tricks, wanting to enter the bridal chamber. It wasn't that easy.

The two sisters-in-law felt sorry for the young couple, but they couldn't hold back the two men who were like wild horses running free.

Tang Xian smiled wryly, “Big Brother, Third Brother, aren't you two too idle? I'll ask Father to find you some work when I get back.”

"Very well then, it is my duty as a son to share the burden for my father."

"Just that, Lao Qi, even if we talk until the sky falls, you have to come out, or else we're going in."

Tang Jué purposely played against the grain, "Both elder brothers, wouldn't it be better to let go of seventh brother? After all, he waited so long to marry a wife, he probably won't come out."

"If we don't come out, then we go in. One...two..."

Tang Xian shook her head. "You rest first, don't eat too much. I'll be back after I deal with them."

Fu Jiu Jiu nodded, "No rush, no rush. You guys enjoy your drinks and have a few more."

Tang Xian turned her head and glanced at her cunning expression, "How can you drink less? Today is our good day."

"Fu Jiujiu:"...

Tang Xian wanted to escape, but he was held back by several brothers. He was solidly fed a lot of alcohol, but it didn't matter, he had a good tolerance for it.

While everyone else offered congratulations, Tang Jie's words were laced with bitterness and jealousy.

But now there are only five brothers left. Tang Jian's words were nothing more than jealous ramblings, and Tang Xian didn't mind them.

"Seventh brother, you married your beloved girl and are so smart and capable. Sixth brother envies you, truly envies you." Tang Ji was indeed drunk, "Being able to marry someone who understands your heart is a blessing. You always meet good people in life. Your mother is the Emperor's lifelong love, and he loved and cherished her. He also loves and cherishes you. Your wife was also raised with everyone's affection, unlike me…"

"Married a woman who knows nothing."

Tian Jia Min stood beside him, her face had changed color, but because no one was willing to go over and comfort her.

Who told her she wasn't usually nice to people?

Bai Ruozhuang and Du Xiyue naturally didn't bother with her.

"How can we compare to Lao Qi? He has been brilliant since he was a child," Tang Yan said.

"But brother, he's not the only smart one here." Tang Juan retorted, clearly not thinking himself foolish.

"If it wasn't for Chirp, he wouldn't be where he is today..."

Tang smiled with a hint of intoxication, how could he not be drunk after drinking so much? He was already a little tipsy. "Sixth brother is right, heaven has treated me well, letting me meet Chirp,"

"Yeah, back then besides Big Brother and Third Brother, all of us brothers had a fondness for Jioujiu. But in the end, we all ended up with nothing but an empty basket."

Tian Jiaming was astonished, apparently unaware that her husband had once also wanted to marry Fu Jiujiu.

No wonder she always makes him unhappy when she mentions Fu Jiujiu.

Ah... I see!

"Sixth brother, let's not talk about things from when we were young anymore." Du Xiyue felt she couldn't go on.

But Tang Juan didn't know if it was intentional or if she hadn't understood her reminder, "Third Sister-in-law, I'm not mistaken, Fifth Brother even mentioned it to Father Emperor back then."

Bai Ruozhuang also frowned, "Sixth brother, don't push your jokes too far."

Tang Xian smirked, “It doesn’t matter. Many people want to marry Jiaojiao, but now she is my wife.”

Tang Ju said, laughing, "I'm drunk, I'm drunk. I lost my tongue. Your Highness, please don't blame me."

"How could that be?" Tang Xian said, "Since you're drunk, you should go back."

Bai Ruozhang and Du Xiyue and the others quickly pulled their men, "Let's go, let's go, it's getting late."

Tian Jiamin stood there in a daze, still seemingly immersed in the shock she had just experienced. It wasn't until Bai Ruozhang called out to her that she went over to help Tang Jie, her face still looking terrible.

"I won't send the brothers off anymore, I'm drunk, drunk!"

He turned, a slight smile playing on his lips, then strode back to see his beloved wife.

Fu Jiujiu heard the sound of the door opening, her heart skipped a beat. She knew it was him, but thinking about what would happen next, she still felt a little nervous.

Red silk tent is warm, a spring night moment.

Tang Xian had shown Fu Jiujiao with his actions that he had waited for this day far too long.

Fu Jiujiu just wanted to say, a man who has been hungry for too long is really terrifying, like a wolf that can't be satisfied. She, this little fox, was eaten clean and had to talk for half a day before he finally stopped.

Tang Xian held the sleeping little girl in his arms, no, she was already his little daughter-in-law. He leaned down and placed a kiss on her brow.

Fu Chi-Chi mumbled and rolled over, burying his head in his chest, seeking a comfortable position to continue sleeping.

She is really exhausted. She started tossing and turning in the morning and was still at it late into the night.

Why is getting married so tiring?

I'm exhausted.

Tang Xian lightly patted her back, just like when they were children.

At this moment, he felt his heart filled with happiness. He whispered in her ear, "You're mine now."
