Shen Nuo tightened his jaws, feeling his appetite gone. So he picked up the wine jug gloomily. 

After few minutes, the cabbage was taken away by Consort Khutulun. She must be the next person who was the happiest beside the newly wedded couple. Shen Nuo could say that just by looking at her stunning smile.

Time passed by and the evening deepened. Li Yan slowly stood up from the throne and quietly tried to slip away from the bustling moving crowds inside the hall but was unexpectedly caught by a drunken Prime Minister.

He smiled foolishly and spoke something which he would have never dared if he was sober. "Your... Your Majesty , where are you going?"

Li Yan pursed his thin lips. His face looked unusually pale. "Zhen has something to do." With that, he silently left. When he passed by Shen Nuo, Shen Nuo thought that Li Yan threw him an extremely brief glance before turning his frosty gaze away as if disgusted. His tall majestic sight disappeared out of the hall soon. Shen Nuo gulped, lowering his head and his hand tightened more on to the wine jug. Why was it so painful?

He sighed again and turned to look at a hundred people who were enjoying happily. His eyes stopped at the newly wedded couple. They looked extremely happy. They both were now seated at the front.

Altai continued to look at Sagangui with such affectionate eyes that it was so hard for him to not fall in love with his sweetheart in a wedding dress. She looked like a goddess. 

The whole day since the moment Li Yan gave Sagangui's hand to him, he had not let go of that hand. He kept rubbing that gentle little palm in his with his thumb, lovingly. Only he knew how he missed her...

He remembered the days of old when they had played together at the greeny meadows of Mongolia, chasing after ducks and rabbits. He remembered how they studied together at the Imperial Academy. He remembered how she blushed at the day when she was bethrothed to him.

But later his dreams got shattered when she was married off to Li Yang. He thought he would never come to see this beloved of his again. And now, that person was standing beside him, in a beautiful red dress, ready to be his wife... How can this be not a dream?

He couldn't take it anymore. So ignoring the enormous crowds that were watching them in the hall, he gently pulled Sagangui by the nape, raised the veil and latched his thin lips directly with her's. Sagangui's eyes widened and her face went red with embarrassment. But she didn't move away when he deepened the kiss, slowly entangling their tongues.

The court hall gasped in awe. At first it looked like a passionate kiss, until that moment when suddenly there was a voice raised high in blind fascination, somewhere amid from the crowds.

"Oh no, he's giving her the Blood Promise!" 

And these single words were enough to raise a commotion inside the hall. Who did not know about the Blood Promise? Only if you are ready to be with that person for the rest of your life would you only give that person your Blood Promise.

It needed trust and true love. Blood Promise of an Emperor meaned a lot. He would not casually give it away to anyone as he wished. And now when Altai gave his Blood Promise to her infront of the whole court, many women looked at her enviously.

Shen Nuo gulped lowering his red eyes to the desk. His grasp upon the wine cup tightened convulsively as he listened to the deafening din around him. 

"Wow, I envy her! She was so lucky. How handsome he is! They make a heaven's match!"

"Blood Promise, he gave her his Blood Promise! How can she not be lucky?"
