Chapter 3 –Consummation of marriage

Minori's  POV

"Trish , I had a very weird dream yesterday. I dreamt that I went back to Ancient China to the Qing Dynasty of almost a century ago with me being the sixth princess of Emperor Kang Xi. Me ,a princess." I said with a giggle as I looked at Trish who was sitting on the bed next to me.

"Ha ha...This teaches you not to watch so much of those Chinese dramas or you'll get those weird dreams again. Besides ,I cannot believe that you dreamt of yourself being a princess. You are the most unprincessy person that I have ever met . With your unkept long hair that you never brush ,all the weird stuff that you claim are herbs which may either harm or safe someone which you carry around you seem more like a witch than a princess  " Trish said in a teasing voice.

"Hey! I do brush my hair...just not as often as you. And those herbs that I carry with me are really useful too...There was this time that I was having dia..."

"Ew.Too much information that I do not want to know."Trish said with a disgusted look on her face.

I smiled before continuing "But , do you know what was the most absurd thing about my dream? I was supposed to marry this 2nd prince of the Mongolian empire to strengthen the relationship between the Qing Empire and Mongolia. How ridiculous is that? Me , 16 .I mean , maybe it is normal for girls of that era to marry this early. But ,for girls like us ,girls like us  of modern days ?Thank goodness it is only just a dream .I simply cannot imagine myself being married this early ,much less to a stranger."I exclaim as a shudder suddenly went through my body.

"Yeah.I bet the groom feels that way too. Thank goodness that he is not really marrying a person like you or he'll be doomed forever as he wakes up to you terrorizing him every single day..."

"Hey ! You are supposed to be my bestie forever.How can you say that of me ?"I said in a fake sad voice.

Upon seeing my reaction , Trish began feeling a tad guilty and was about to apologise when I suddenly picked up the pillow nearest to me before smacking it right onto her head.

"Pillow fight!"I screamed before attacking her with the pillow again.

After a moment , she realized that she has been pranked .So , she picked up the second nearest pillow before she started attacking me with it too ...

"Princess! Wake up ! We have arrived."A familiar voice suddenly sounded. It was the  voice that I never ever want to hear again .

Thinking that  I was still dreaming , I ignored him completely as I tried to continue my pillow fight with Tricia.

A visible sigh escaped from his lips before he continued " Princess , please wake up or we will really miss the auspicious hour .I heard that the groom is already in the hall awaiting your presence. Being the sixth princess , I am sure you do not want to embarrass both your father and yourself by being late do you?"

Almost immediately , memories of what happened came rushing back to me as I opened my eyes with the ending of the last sentence. This was not a dream. This was  never the dream. The pillow fight with Tricia was the dream.

I sighed , only to find that something heavy was added to my head. What's more was that my vision was blurred .I was not able to see that man clearly as a piece of red cloth seems to be in the way.It was kind of uncomfortable , seeing only red.

Sensing my discomfort , the man said again " Please do not try to move your head too much , Princess. This is part of your head dress. Oh yes , if you are feeling uncomfortable due to seeing red only , please endure it for a while more as that is only your veil. It will be removed after the ceremony is over."
