Chapter 229 The Living Abandoned Empress of the Cold Palace X The Invading Unruly Buddhist Son 63
Just when Yun Qian was having a headache about this, the system suddenly seemed to understand.
"Host! Do you think the tender fragrance is enough?"
Yun Qian was confused. "What is that? Why didn't you mention it before?"
It’s no wonder Yun Qian was confused. She had almost searched the mall thoroughly during this period, but couldn’t find anything that was barely adequate.
"It's a new product that the R&D department just brought in. It seems to have been needed by the host in another world before, and it's used to make other NPCs estrus."
Yun Qian was speechless when she heard this. "You'd better not tell me that it's used to drug the female supporting characters and ruin their reputation. Isn't that disgusting?"
Yun Qian complained with disgust. She hated this drama. Women were repeatedly harming each other in the backyard. Who was the real winner?
Besides, if this incense is only used to arouse sexual desire, then it’s useless!
Everyone is busy lighting the fire, who will put it out?
"No, no," seeing Yun Qian like this, the system immediately began to explain, "I didn't say enough. It's used to simulate that process..."
"Can this thing... still be simulated?"
Yun Qian couldn't help but frown, but Qi Heyao saw it clearly. He was puzzled and asked, "Qian Qian, what's wrong?"
Yun Qian raised her head immediately upon hearing the call, and continued chatting with the system, "So... you want them to have sex in their dreams... right?"
After hearing the system's accurate response, "Yes," Yun Qian uttered a word without hesitation, "Buy!"
……
Yun Piao had left the bridal chamber at the right time, clearly intending to leave them some time alone. The atmosphere in the room became exceptionally quiet, with only the occasional faint sounds of gongs and drums emanating from outside the window.
"Your Highness, I'm a little nervous..."
Yun Qian pretended to be hot-faced and lowered her head slightly. It was rare for her to be like this. Qi Heyao saw it and was stunned for a moment, then smiled. He wanted to touch Yun Qian's shoulder, but paused when they were just a few inches apart, as if he remembered something. He stepped back, which made Yun Qian confused again.
Qi Heyao paced a few steps nervously, finally stopped and said in a low voice: "Qianqian." His voice was a little hoarse, as if it was because of alcohol or because he was too nervous.
Yun Qian raised her eyes and looked at him, her gaze as calm as water.
At that moment, Qi Heyao's breath seemed to miss a beat. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he felt that nothing could come out. He looked down at her, but in the end, he just smiled, bent down and handed her a glass of warm wine: "Drink some, to warm yourself up."
Yun Qian took the wine cup, her fingertips touched his hand, and after a slight pause, she picked up the wine cup, took a sip, and said lightly: "Your Highness... you drank a little too much today, didn't you?" Her voice was still calm, but with a hint of gentle teasing.
Qi Heyao was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and touched his forehead, smiling helplessly: "I did drink a lot, but with this wine today, no matter how much I drink, I won't get drunk."
Yun Qian listened and looked up at his slightly flushed face. There seemed to be a smile in her eyes, but it flashed away and she said nothing more. Seeing her expression like this, Qi Heyao felt an indescribable emotion in his heart. He couldn't help but want to get closer to her, but he was afraid of offending her. He could only stand where he was and said softly, "Qian Qian, tonight... is our big day. Are you satisfied?"
Yun Qian raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said in a flat tone: "As long as Your Highness is satisfied."
Qi Heyao was stunned for a moment, as if sensing the nonchalance in her tone. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but all that came out was a sigh. He took a half step forward and asked slowly, "Qianqian, are you unhappy? Are you tired after a long day? The enthronement process is indeed a bit too complicated. When you wear the phoenix crown in the future, I will ask the Ministry of Rites to reduce the tiring ceremonies so that you won't be too tired."
Yun Qian hadn't spoken yet, and he continued to talk to himself: "All your arrangements today were selected by me personally... I know you don't like tediousness, so I tried to simplify it as much as possible, but there are still some shortcomings. Next time I will definitely..." His voice was gentle, with a hint of flattery.
Yun Qian raised her eyes and glanced at him. The emotion in her eyes was as light as water, as if she couldn't hear what he said. She just nodded slightly: "Your Highness, thank you for your concern."
The two stared at each other for a moment, Qi Heyao's smile faded slightly, his eyes deepening. He gently grasped the wine cup and whispered, "Qianqian, from today on, you are my wife." He paused, his tone slow and solemn, "I will protect you, I trust you, and I hope you can trust me."
Yun Qian lowered her eyes, her fingertips gently fiddling with the gold thread on her sleeve, as if she hadn't heard clearly, or taken it to heart. She raised her eyes and said in a calm voice, "Thank you very much, Your Highness."
Her tone was distant and polite, like a perfunctory gesture, yet also like complete indifference. Qi Heyao was slightly startled, as if he wanted to say something else, but in the end he didn't.
People's vows always sound beautiful when they are made, but look ugly when they look back. Yun Qian lowered her head and stopped looking at Qi Heyao. Only the flickering candlelight was left, stretching their shadows farther and closer.
Outside the window, the night deepened, the faint beat of drums lingered, juxtaposed against the gold and brocade beneath the red candlelight, a luxurious yet heavy presence. And within the bridal chamber, beyond the bustle, a sense of quiet and uncertainty remained, like an unspoken silence, or perhaps a secret deep within fate.
Yun Qian took action and put on a full show. She even asked the system to download a piece of that...unspeakable audio to play. After all, Yun Qian was a battle-hardened person and it was impossible for her to be frightened by such a small scene.
But today, she was destined to watch a man beside her...ahh ...
…………
Sometimes Yun Qian really couldn't figure out what Qi Heyao was thinking. After spending some time with him, Yun Qian felt that he was not as disgusting as she had imagined, but there was still some disgust. People like Qi Heyao, even if they had a little sincerity, it would not be much. They would just pretend to be 80% sincere on the surface, but in reality, they were probably only 30%.
Moreover... Yun Qian understood that a superior who was obsessed with power was not someone she would place her hopes on. This was also the reason why she didn't want to act all tender and affectionate during their wedding night.
A man, once slept with, was slept with. No matter how many sweet words were exchanged between the bed and the bed, they were of no use. On that day when the Yun family was defeated, none of them could be spared...
