Chapter 03 Making Up to You (Part 3)
As the
bridal carriage approached from the distance, Jun Lixuan could feel anxiety
gnawing away at this insides, and his palms started to sweat. As he recovered
from his injuries and planned the marriage, Ling Qiyang's face surfaced in his
mind countless times. His memory of Ling Qiyang was only of the few days before
his death. He really had a limited impression of the 18-year-old Ling Qiyang.
"Lower
the carriage." The matchmaker shouted with a broad warm smile on her face,
"The groom may unveil the carriage and welcome his bride."
Jun
Lixuan walked down the steps and stood in front of the carriage. His arms
gently opened the veil, as if he was afraid of shocking the man inside. Inside,
Ling Qiyang's face was as he recalled. His skin, smooth and tender, and his
dressing, neat and tidy. However, there was little less morose and a touch more
of beauty.
He
reached out and waited for Ling Qiyang to get off the carriage. Seeing the
extended arm, Ling Qiyang blinked slowly, then put his hand in Jun Lixuan's
hand. He got up and got off with the groom's support. As they held hands, the
cold palm in Jun Lixuan's hand made him frown subtly. He turned over and asked
softly, "Cold?"
Ling
Qiyang raised his eyes to look at him, then shook his head.
As the
former covered Ling Qiyang's hands with both hands, Ling Qiyang's body
stiffened, and his ears flushed to tomato-red. Then, Jun Lixuan realised, Ling
Qiyang's cold hands were not due to the winter frost, but his fluttering
nervousness.
He
tightened his grip reassuringly and led his Prince Consort into the manor. They
stepped over the brazier and stamped on the tiles as the matchmaker cheered for
the couple’s prosperous future. Afterwards, they made their marriage official
in the temple, under the witness of the guests.
Following
Ye country's marriage custom, the Omega did not wear a veil throughout the
procession. As such, Ling Qiyang's face was a highlight for the attending
guests. All of lamented: this couple was a match made by Heaven! The
Emperor and Empress also nodded and smiled contentedly as they observed the
ceremony from the main seats.
Afterwards,
Ling Qiyang was sent to the bridal chamber. Post-banquet, the guests also
relaxed their etiquette. They all had one aim in mind, to drink with Jun
Lixuan. Usually, Jun Lixuan was extremely difficult to get close to. Now that
it was his marriage, officials and nobles who wanted to mix with him seized
this golden opportunity. Jun Lixuan had believed that the Emperor Father's
presence would deter such presumptuous behaviour. However, he never expected
that the Emperor was indifferent to the racket around him and only chatted with
a few old officials smilingly.
There
were 7 sons amongst the Emperor's children. Jun Lixuan did not bother keeping
the fourth and fifth prince who left soon after the wedding banquet. The Eldest
Prince was on the battlefield and would not be back until the Chinese New Year.
The Second Prince was heading a vassal state, and his position made it awkward
for him to attend the ceremony. For Jun Lixuan, the only brothers who he
regarded as true brothers were the Third and Sixth Prince. The two of them also
did not disappoint him and drank several cups of alcohol on his behalf. Even if
Jun Lixuan was a heavyweight drinker, too much drinking still inevitably hurts
his body.
In the
bridal chambers, Ling Qiyang sat by the bed, staring listlessly at the brightly
lit pair of red candles. All of this still felt unreal. His Royal Highness Ling
clearly refused the marriage, so why did he suddenly change his mind? The
Second Consort said that it was his reward from enduring all the hardships, but
Sire** was unsure if it was a blessing or a curse. His father was silent, but the
First Consort was fuming underneath her well wishes. Now, he could only plan
his actions a step at a time. He already experienced being a laughingstock once,
so being mocked a second time did not hurt anymore.
**As Ling Qiyang’s parents are a man and an Omega, Sire is used to
denote his father and Father is used to represent the Omega-father.
The
cheerful laughter of the wedding banquet gradually faded, and soon the Emperor
and Empress returned to the Palace. Long after the banquet, there were still no
signs of His Royal Highness Ling to be seen.
Ling
Qiyang looked at the time, and said to the attendant by his side, "Go and
prepare the bath."
The
attendant stared at Ling Qiyang, utterly confounded. He stuttered and said,
"Your Highness hasn't come back yet."
Ling
Qiyang lowered his gaze, and was about to say "Your Highness will not
come". Then, the door opened from the outside. Jun Lixuan walked in. Ling
Qiyang looked at Jun Lixuan in surprise. The banquet had been over for a while,
but Jun Lixuan had not come in. He was sure that his new husband would not
come.
The
attendant smiled and said, "Just now, the Prince Consort had asked me to
prepare water bathing. That shocked me so much."
Jun
Lixuan didn't say anything as he gave a red envelope to the attendant. The
attendant smiled and thanked him with some auspicious words. Then, he went out
with a smile, not forgetting to close the door tightly.
The
newly-wed couple was left alone in bridal chambers. Jun Lixuan stared at Ling
Qiyang without blinking. The latter's eyebrows and nose were the same as he
remembered, but his lips are redder and more succulent. The rosiness and
plumpness were particularly enticing, tickling Jun Lixuan’s eagerness and
fueling his passion.
Initially,
Ling Qiyang observed Jun Lixuan closely as well. But soon, the embarrassment
quickly made him move away uncomfortably. He could hear his deafening heartbeat
quicken, and his earlobes grew hotter and redder by every passing second. Jun
Lixuan’s thoughts were an unknown to him but compared to the indifference from
before, maybe he should feel contented...
