Ying yue is a cute girl who lives on her own in a small but beautiful house on a meadow. her father disappeared when she was 3 and her mother died when she was 5 years old. Her mother thought her to read, write and play. Travellers rarely pass by th...
The drums began to play, signifing the beginning of the auspicious time, as the whole palace was engulfed in a joyous atmosphere.
A lot of prominent ministers, neighboring princes, and people visited the palace to give their blessings and leave a favourable impression on the royal family.
As they all gathered together and began chatting, the sounds of horse's hooves clatter became more highlighted.
They all remained silent as the horse nighed and the wedding sedan came to a halt.
From it decended the crown prince, very elegantly dressed in his red wedding clothes.
He looked very handsome under the moonlight and he remained waiting for someone.
Once again clatters of horse's were heard and this time the prince moved to the sedan and softly pushed open the curtains.
A slender hand stretched out and held the prince's hand as a beautiful lady, though her face was covered, was carried by the prince in princess-style, and gently let down.
The prince guided her with love and care in his gestures and eyes which overflowed with warmth.
They held hands together and went upon the place to perform the rituals.
A saint sat before them and near the end of the ceremony, they gave their vows.
“Prince Chen Shang & Princess Ying Yue, are you willing to marry your partner as your husband/wife, in sacred marriage together for life?
Whether they have sickness or health, poverty or wealth, beauty or is plain, in good times and in bad, are you willing to love each other, to comfort each other, to respect each other, and protect each other?
And willing to be forever loyal to each other?”
"Yes. I am!" They both vowed together and bowed;
Bow to the heaven and Earth. Bow to your ancestors and elders. Bow to each other.
And so, they had tied their knots with each other. Their red strings became connected and they completed the ceremony.
People began to form lines and gave their presents and blessings to the newlywed couple.
Yue and Chen Shang greeted their guests and received and thanked them for all their blessings and gifts.
Then, as the day seemed to near the end, Yue was escorted to her bridal Chambers.
After a few minutes of silence she heard a slight shuffle beside her but she didn't show any signs of being aware of it.
She sat still uprightly as he sat beside her and continued to gaze upon her with a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

[Chen Shang in his wedding attire!!]
"H–husband..?" She finally uttered.
Chen shang's heart began to thump harder. Oh dear, how happy and warm he felt right now.
"Say it once again." He asked.
"Husband." She obediently said.
Being very pleased he gently opened the veil, only to find his little wife's face covered with shades of pink.
Yue was very embarrassed, and Chen Shang laughed at her. For which she pouted and turned her face away.
'So cute.' He thought.
After admiring his cute wife, he went to the table filled with variety of dishes and wine.
He poured both the glasses with red wine and gave one to Yue.
They both interwined their arms and drank it, which left both of them flustered.
"Hmm.. what do we do next?" Asked Yue confusedly.
"Sleep, of course!" Replied Chen Shang and removed his outer robe.
He then strode over to Yue and patiently removed her hairpins and ornaments.
He even helped her to cleanse her face with warm water and finally Chen Shang lied on the bed.
He pulled Yue too and they both snuggled close to each other and wrapped themselves with a blanket.
"What now..?" Wondered Yue.
"My dear wife, you should give me a good night kiss, shouldn't you..?" Reminded our Prince.
Yue was startled.
Looking at his expectant eyes, she couldn't find words to refuse him and slowly drew closer to him.
She closed her eyes shut and her lips softly touched his.
It lingered there for awhile and as she withdrew, she found her prince to be blushing very hard with wide eyes.
He stared at her dumbstruck and swiftly turned away from her, for his heart was racing very fast.
Yue was a bit confused but she hugged her man from behind and slowly began to feel drowsy.
"Good night." She whispered onto his ears and fell asleep.
Her warm breath lingered on his ears as he clutched his heart that was about to burst from all the cuteness and happiness.
After he was sure she had slept, he couldn't hold his desire anymore and gently traced his lips.
He still couldn't believe it.
He turned around, hugged her, kissed her and whispered her back,"good night."
As he felt a bit hungry, he went over to the table and gobbled down a whole plate of mooncakes.
He loved eating mooncakes. Too bad he couldn't share it with his wife.
Then, he once again covered them both with an additional blanket as he felt the weather was cold.
He cuddled up and thought, it must have been his most happiest day. He was very glad.
The entire palace seemed to be resting, as a peaceful silence enveloped them all.
