"Miss, let Qianqian help you put on your wedding dress," Qianqian said, picking up the fiery red wedding dress.
Shen Qianmo slowly removed her clothes and put on a fiery red wedding dress. Her slender hand emerged from the dress, as pure and beautiful as a blooming white lotus. A genuine smile played on her lips. "Red is a nice color."
Upon hearing Shen Qianmo's words, Qianqian couldn't help but reveal a mischievous smile, "Of course, the young master always wears red, doesn't he?"
"Qianqian." Shen Qianmo was a little embarrassed when Qianqian hit the nail on the head. Her every smile and frown seemed to have an indescribable charm. Such a captivating appearance would be unforgettable for anyone who saw it.
Although it was just a temporary measure, it was still the first time in her life that she had worn a wedding dress, and Shen Qianmo still felt a little uneasy.
Wearing her wedding dress and a red veil, she was helped out of the house by Qianqian, where a large group of people were already waiting.
Shen Qianmo sensed Situ Jingyan's presence and unconsciously twisted the handkerchief in her hand, feeling both shy and expectant.
Yesterday we met the Empress and went through all the formalities. Today the sedan chair will head directly towards Tianmo.
Without seeing the face of the Prime Minister's daughter under the red veil, the common people still believed that she was an unattractive and uneducated woman.
After traveling a long distance, the sedan chair arrived at a dense forest, where Situ Jingyan ordered the sedan chair bearers to stop.
"Mo'er, it's time to get out of the sedan chair." Situ Jingyan's magnetic voice came, and Shen Qianmo saw Situ Jingyan's slender hand through the gap under the red veil.
With a touch of shyness, Shen Qianmo gently placed her hand on Situ Jingyan's and smiled, "Jingyan, won't you lift my veil?"
"Why are you still called Jingyan? Shouldn't you call me husband now?" Situ Jingyan didn't rush to lift the veil, but said with a smile.
"Today's arrangement is merely a temporary measure. I do not wish for my marriage to be tainted by any power struggles. If I marry you, it will simply be to marry you, without any regard for power or political alliances," Shen Qianmo said calmly.
Situ Jingyan smiled happily, his eyes sparkling, and gently lifted Shen Qianmo's red veil, saying, "I will marry you honorably, Mo'er."
"I haven't thought it through yet." Shen Qianmo raised her eyes and smiled faintly.
Situ Jingyan watched as Shen Qianmo slowly raised her cheek, as if looking at a gradually clear ink painting, bit by bit, with flowing light and color, as if it had an indescribable charm.
Her skin was like jade, her eyebrows like distant mountains, and her eyes like stars. The faint smile on her lips was like the most intoxicating wine; once you looked at her, you couldn't take your eyes off her.
"What's wrong? Don't you recognize Mo'er?" Shen Qianmo smiled and scolded Situ Jingyan when she saw him looking slightly stunned.
Situ Jingyan looked at the woman before him. Her skin, as smooth as cream, was made even more charming by the light application of makeup, which made her look fair and rosy.
Her eyes were like a clear pool, and her every glance seemed to exude an indescribable charm. At this moment, she was looking at me with a hint of shyness, and her naturally red lips were slightly pouting, as if she were being coquettish.
Situ Jingyan gently wrapped his arm around Shen Qianmo's slender waist, a wicked smile playing on his lips, and said, "No matter what my Mo'er looks like, I will recognize her."
Shen Qianmo's smile deepened. She leaned gently against Situ Jingyan's shoulder, feeling an unprecedented sense of security.
The sedan chair carrying the bride had long since gone far away. Now, deep in the dense forest, only the two people embracing remained, their fiery red robes billowing in the wind in a bewitching arc.
The surrounding dense forest rustled in the wind, and the sunlight slanted into the forest, creating a warm atmosphere.
"Jingyan, if I were to marry you and become your empress, would you be willing to set up a harem for me?" Shen Qianmo leaned against Situ Jingyan's chest and asked cautiously.
This was the first time she had spoken so cautiously, because she was afraid the answer she would hear would hurt her. If Situ Jingyan couldn't maintain the facade of a harem, she would leave without hesitation, but even as she left, her heart would bleed.
Situ Jingyan reached out and cupped Shen Qianmo's cheeks, gently stroking them with the pad of his index finger. His smile was sincere, and his eyes were filled with tenderness. "To have Mo'er by my side, I will surely be with you for life."
Upon hearing Situ Jingyan's reply, a hint of composure appeared in Shen Qianmo's eyes. Situ Jingyan gazed into Shen Qianmo's eyes and slowly approached.
Shen Qianmo felt her heart pounding faster, as if it were about to leap out of her throat, and her face was burning hot.
Seeing Shen Qianmo's cheeks as red as a ripe tomato, a wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth. He breathed softly into Shen Qianmo's ear and chuckled, "Is Mo'er shy?"
Shen Qianmo blushed and pressed her hand against Situ Jingyan's chest, feeling as if her heartstrings were being gently plucked.
Looking at Shen Qianmo's shy expression, Situ Jingyan's heart stirred, and he couldn't help but kiss her.
Shen Qianmo's hand, which had initially been pushing him away, slowly and involuntarily wrapped around Situ Jingyan's shoulder. At that moment, it seemed as if only the two of them existed in the dense forest.
"Hmph! If you keep doing this, I won't talk to you anymore!" The lingering kiss finally ended, and Shen Qianmo said coquettishly.
"Mo'er, you mustn't ignore me." Situ Jingyan gently stroked Shen Qianmo's nose, his eyes filled with doting affection.
Shen Qianmo looked at the man in front of her, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.
"Let's go back to Qiyue." Situ Jingyan took Shen Qianmo's hand and said with a hint of wicked charm.
Qi Yue. A cold smile curled at the corner of Shen Qianmo's lips. Soon, the country of Qi Yue would cease to exist in this world!
---Aside---
This concludes Volume One. The following volumes will depict how the female protagonist launches a full-scale counterattack and how the male protagonist vies for supremacy.
Hope you all continue to support Qingqian!
I also recommend my friend's novels, "The Enchantress Bewitches the Evil Lord" and "The Queen Gone Mad."
Chapter One: Amidst the Conspiracy, Where is True Feeling?
Back in Qi Yue, Shen Qianmo changed into men's clothing; at this moment, she was Mo Chi, the Palace Master of the Demon Palace.
"My lord, have some fruit."
In the courtyard of Shangguan Jin's residence, Shen Qianxin held a plate of fruit and handed it to Shangguan Jin, her eyes revealing a hint of tenderness, appearing as a virtuous woman.
Shangguan Jin was pondering something when he saw Shen Qianxin arrive. A gentle smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Such things as cutting fruit can be left to the servants. Why do you have to do it yourself, Qianxin?"
A shy smile appeared on Shen Qianxin's face, her eyes filled with affection, and she said gently, "Qianxin is just a woman, she doesn't understand politics and military affairs, she can't share her husband's worries, so she can only do such small things."
"I understand Qianxin's feelings. It is truly my blessing to be able to marry Qianxin as my wife." Shangguan Jin gently took Shen Qianxin's hand.
