Two weeks later, on the 6th day of the 6th month. The royal palace of Ming state looks so crowded with red decorations everywhere, marine firecrackers and many lanterns hanging all over the place in the royal palace of Ming state.
Tap tap tap tap
The sound of the feet of six palace guards carrying red palanquins had reached the front of the royal palace.
Min'er who was walking in front of the stretcher opened the curtain of the stretcher, and looked at a woman who had been sitting inside the central stretcher bowing her head behind the red veil that covered her head.
"Today, I will lead you to the happiness you've been dreaming of, brother." Min'er said as she reached out to Xia Lian An.
Xia Lian An received Min'er's helping hand, and carefully walked out from inside the stretcher.
Crown Prince Zhang who saw Xia Lian An wearing all-red clothes like the one he was wearing smiled, he was so happy because today was a day that he had been looking forward to for so many years.
Slowly Min'er brought her brother in front of crown prince Zhang who was already waiting for Xia Lian An under the palace stairs.
After being right in front of crown prince Zhang, Min'er let go of Xia Lian An's hand and saluted before she took a few steps back from the two brides-to-be.
Crown Prince Zhang walked a few steps, then lifted Xia Lian An's body and carried her up one by one the tall palace stairs.
That thing he did as evidence, if as heavy as the journey they would go through in front of him, he would always protect Xia Lian An.
After reaching the top, crown prince Zhang lowered Xia Lian An and brought him inside the inner hall, where the emperor and queen were already waiting for the two of them.
The head eunuch fastened the rope that held the two of them together before the events began.
The emperor, the queen, Min'er and everyone who came on that happy day watched crown prince Zhang and Xia Lian An happily marry.
All the people of the Ming state cheered happily and congratulated their crown prince and empress.
"Congratulations to the noble crown prince, congratulations to the noble empress. May your majesty always be happy and prosperous." Speak to all who come happily.
After doing a series of events, Xia Lian An who had been brought to the crown prince Zhang's palace was sitting on the bed.
"This is my first marriage in two different lives, what should I do?" Xia Lian An muttered worriedly.
Kraaak
The sound of the door opening, Xia Lian An heard the sound of someone walking over to her after tightly closing the door.
Xia Lian An's heart was beating increasingly faster, as the sound of footsteps stopped right in front of her feet.
Xia Lian An felt the cloth covering her head slowly rise up, and slowly open perfectly.
Crown Prince Zhang who saw Xia Lian An who had become his wife still lowered his head, touched Xia Lian An's chin and raised his face slowly.
In her face the beautiful face of Xia Lian An with a headdress that made her even more beautiful and graceful.
"Today you look so beautiful, my wife." Crown prince Zhang said softly.
Xia Lian An's face flushed when she heard crown prince Zhang calling her a wife.
Crown Prince Zhang smiled.
"Do you know, I've never felt so happy like today. I love you so much, my queen." Crown prince Zhang said again.
"You've said that a lot, aren't you bored?" Xia Lian An.
"Of course not, I'll never get tired of saying it. Even to the point that I die I won't be bored."
"Your words are so sweet."
Crown Prince Zhang sat down beside Xia Lian An and clasped his hands.
"My one dream has come true, and you've made it real."
"really?"
Crown Prince Zhang looked at Xia Lian An's two eyes, slowly bringing his face closer to Xia Lian An's. Crown Prince Zhang hugged Xia Lian An's waist, and then kissed Xia Lian An's lips gently.
The first kiss for crown prince Zhang and Xia Lian An, a kiss full of love and gentleness, started all the bridal night action they were looking forward to.

The next day, Xia Lian An woke up in the arms of crown prince Zhang. Xia Lian An looked at the face of crown prince Zhang who was still asleep.
"Eyelashes are so beautiful." Xia Lian An muttered.
"Is your husband very handsome, my consort?" Said crown prince Zhang who turned out to be pretending to be asleep.
Xia Lian An immediately turned her back to crown prince Zhang in embarrassment to crown prince Zhang.
Seeing his wife so sweet, crown prince Zhang hugged Xia Lian An's body from behind.
Xia Lian An simply nodded.
Crown Prince Zhang chuckled at his shy wife, even after what they had done last night.
"Alright, I'll ask the palace chef to make you some ginseng soup. You can drink it later."
Crown Prince Zhang kissed Xia Lian An's cheek before he got up and went to the side room to clean up and get ready.
15 minutes later, Xia Lian An woke up. He was wearing back the clothes that crown prince Zhang had left last night.
"Your Majesty, I am Xiao Wei. I brought you some water to wash your face." Xiao Wei said from outside the room.
"Come in."
Xiao Wei, who heard Xia Lian An's words, opened the door and entered the room so beautifully decorated, for the night of Xia Lian An's bride and Zhang's crown prince.
Xiao Wei smiled meaningfully looking at the face of Xia Lian An who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
"This is water with rose sari, the noble crown prince said if the noble empress really likes the scent of roses."
"Okay, I get it."
Xiao Wei then brought a medium-sized container in front of Xia Lian An, Xia Lian An then washed his face with water that had been given the rose.
After it was done, Xiao Wei gave Xia Lian An a cloth to dry her face.
"Your Majesty, the crown prince said that this morning you should pay your respects to the emperor and his highness the queen. So I will dress you beautifully, according to the clothes and accessories that have been delivered by the noble crown prince for you."
"Okay, thank you Xiao Wei."
Xiao Wei nodded, he then went to pick up the clothes he said.
It was not long before Xiao Wei came to bring clothes, and helped Xia Lian An change clothes. Xiao Wei also helped Xia Lian An decorate herself with various accessories of gold adorning Xia Lian An's head.
"You're really very beautiful, your majesty." Xiao Wei said admiring Xia Lian An's beauty.
Kraaak
The door of the room opened, crown prince Zhang who was already wearing royal clothes saw Xia Lian An who was also ready.
"You are like a goddess that comes from the sky." Crown Prince Zhang said to look at the beautiful Xia Lian An.
"Stop teasing me, did you know I was already so nervous about meeting the emperor's father and queen mother this morning."
Crown Prince Zhang walked up to Xia Lian An then grabbed his hand.
"There I am beside you, after all the father of the emperor and the queen mother will be very happy to see the two of us together giving greetings to them this morning."
"Good."
Crown Prince Zhang looked at the face of the woman who had long stolen his heart, the woman who had currently become his wife.
"We'll be late if we don't leave now." Crown prince Zhang.
"Yes." Yeah."
Crown Prince Zhang took Xia Lian An by the hand, and they walked together towards the royal palace to greet the emperor and queen.
Arriving in front of the emperor and queen, Crown Prince Zhang and Xia Lian An bowed their bodies.
"Greetings to his highness the father of the emperor and his highness the queen mother. May your majesty live long and prosper always." Crown Prince Zhang and Xia Lian An said to the emperor and queen.
"Alright, you've bowed enough. You've made me so happy today." Emperor.
"Thank you for the noble kindness of the emperor's father." Crown prince Zhang.
"Today, I will give the title to the empress. Because she has become the wife of my crown's son."
The ministers who were also still inside the palace nodded in understanding.
"I will give the empress the title, Empress Jing, who will always shine and bring prosperity as well as happiness to our Ming country."
"Greetings to his highness empress Jing, may his highness the empress live long and be filled with happiness." Speak to all the ministers.
Empress Jing nodded and smiled, as they accepted her and respected her so much, even though she was once the empress of the Qin state.
Xia Lian An's life, which had been filled with injustice, had finally turned into a happiness she had never imagined.
"Thank you, your highness, the emperor, thank you, your majesty, and thank you, my husband. You have made me feel cherished and loved in this palace."
