Loving the Naughty Empress

Everyone nearby to their table got their nose into Ni Shi word to Ni Qing. She always detests her because of her beauty and brain since they were a kid.

"General Lin, I hear some dog barking near me… did you hear it also? How about we catch the dog and out the dog with all the war prisoner on the border? Do you think we can educate the dog to know its places?" Ni Qing talks to Lin Yue who smiling hears her outwit reply to her cousin.

"You… You… how can you say that I am a dog?" Ni Shi is pointing her finger at Ni Qing while whimper to protest.

"Enough… Ni Shi goes back to your seat. The ceremonies are going to start and we do not want to make any scene…" Ni Sheng scolds his cousin to stop all her nonsense. He can not afford his cousin to offend the youngest general in the history of the Dayu Kingdom.

Ni Shi did not have any more choice rather than stomping her feet to go back to her seat near her mother and father. She can not understand their situation to have everything drop into their laps. They grow up together and she is working as hard as Ni Lang to learn embroidery, reading, and learning etiquette. But her cousin is setting to marry the crown prince while the other one set to marry the youngest general in history. She can not accept the reality of this inequity.

The group of Eunuch lead by Eunuch Song and the Royal Maid comes to the Mansion and ready to start the procession to pick up the bride. The dowry is extravagant, and it fills up the whole front garden of the mansion. The palanquin with the red bow on the top tells everyone about the bride position to the nation. It is hand made and there is a gold stroke on the expensive oaks wood. The Crown Prince really did not spare anything to his bride. He wants to tell the whole nation about his consort position in his palace.

Ni Lang is bowing three times for the last time to her parent and present them with tea. She also lights the scent of incense for her ancestor to greet them goodbye. She prays and asks for a blessing from the ancestor for her marriage.

This time, Master Ni and Ni Sheng are carrying Ni Lang to enter her palanquin after Madame Ni puts her red cloth over her head. The red cloths made from expensive gold silk which made the red colour glow when the sunshine through to the cloth. The common practice is the bride can not walk through the gate to the palanquin. Her father and brother need to carry her for the last time, so bad luck will not haunt her to the new household.

As soon as the bride is sitting inside her palanquin, Eunuch Song, and the head maid from the Palace bow to the Master and Madame Ni. He instructs them to go back to the palace, so they did not miss the auspicious time to marry the couple. Meanwhile, Chu Yi palanquin is arriving at the side entrance of the Palace. Empress Chu is using her power to make her youngest cousin get married at the same time as the consort. However, she needs to enter from the side entrance and walk into the Palace by herself as she status only a concubine.

She is using the small palace in the Crown Palace complex on the south area of the Palace, whilst the crown Princess will reside in the Palace next to the Crown Prince Palace not far from the Emperor Palace complex. The Crown Prince is symbolizing the dragon baby of the Emperor. It means his Palace need to be closer to the Emperor of this country.

The marriage ceremonies held in the Main area of the Palace as they have to bow to God, Ancestor and the Emperor and Queen of Dayu Kingdom. The Palanquin and the procession go directly to the main area in front of the palace where the crown Prince already waiting with all the minister and the emperor.

The Palace decorates with all the grand royal wedding decoration for this occasion. It is full of all the red ribbon and clothes. The wedding holds after the decade must be grand and amazing as the first wedding held for the emperor firstborn son.

Jin Yu stands still in the entrance to the main Palace with his handsome and charming demeanour. He uses his royal wedding red robe and his head peace to show his position as the Crown prince of the Dayu Kingdom. The Palanquin is stopping in front of the entrance where Jin Yu is standing and helping her out of the palanquin. The first step into the Palace building straight away to ward off the bad luck.

They walk hand in hand to the ceremonies until she has to sit and wait for her husband inside the wedding chamber. Jin Yu is finishing to greet all the neighbourhood country and all the ministry for his wedding reception. Ni Lang is nervously waiting inside their wedding chamber with her cloth covering her face. She cannot move or remove the clothes before the last procession of the wedding.

The senior maid is waiting outside the door of their wedding chamber with her personal maid. The crown prince needs to lift the cloth using the golden stick to reveal the bride's face. They have to enjoy the wedding wine and food together before consummating their wedding night.

The Emperor is having a good time during the reception. He even gifted every household in the country with a bag of rice from the Palace repository. Meanwhile, the crown prince cannot hold to meet his first love after the long wait. He keeps holding into her marble name tags during the banquet. However, as his duty comes first, he hides his impatient wish to meet with her. Nonetheless, she is belonging to him forever.
