Volume 1: The Cold Lady and the Green Plum Empress

Chapter 1 How could my wife be the current emperor?

The capital city is very lively today.

There were drums and gongs, and it was a festive occasion.

The streets of the capital were covered with an exaggeratedly long red carpet, starting from the Imperial Palace and extending all the way towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The distance is at least dozens of miles long, and there are not many families in the entire capital city who can afford such an amazing project.

You know, the current emperor has always advocated frugality.

With such a huge show and waste, he might even be beheaded.

But no one dared to say or ask why.

Because today is the day when His Majesty's younger sister is getting married, the occasion naturally has to be grand.

The emperor is leading the way in extravagance and waste, do they dare to say anything?

Of course not.

Is it okay for them to do this?

Definitely not.

Where is His Majesty?

Okay, that’s great!

……

Yan Jixue felt her head was a little dizzy.

She had been reviewing memorials last night and only slept for two hours.

Reviewing memorials every day, she felt that she would die of overwork sooner or later.

Yan Jixue discovered that all her ministers were weird.

"Your Majesty, our respect for you is like the surging river, endless, and like the overflowing Yellow River..."

Garbage memorials can only be used as toilet paper.

Yan Jixue recalled that a few years after she came to power, she had her period.

As a result, these ministers immediately sent memorials one after another, wishing the emperor good health and expressing their concern for his well-being.

Would you mind using this energy to do good things? Have you investigated the corruption at Taicang Silver Bank?

"Your Majesty, I have a sore on my buttocks that is still oozing pus, but I dare not forget Your Majesty in my heart."

Ugh, that's disgusting.

This is the daily life of the current emperor, Yan Jixue.

I'm so annoyed. I really want to just lie down and screw up~

Whoever wants to be the empress can take the position.

In a daze, Yan Jixue got on the sedan chair heading to the royal villa.

Today is her younger sister's wedding day.

As a result, on this day, she was invited by the prince to go to the Royal Villa to discuss national policy.

Due to state affairs, Yan Jixue was unable to attend her sister's wedding banquet.

I always feel that the size of the sedan seat cushion is not suitable. Was it replaced recently?

Yan Jixue didn’t think too much about it, her head felt a little swollen.

I'm a little hungry, I didn't have time to eat breakfast.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Yan Jixue lay down and took a short nap.

……

In the dim light, Yan Jixue vaguely opened her beautiful eyes.

She seemed to hear the lively sound of gongs and drums.

Looking out from the window of the sedan chair, I saw the sedan chair being taken into a magnificent mansion.

This must be the place where the prince invited her to discuss national policy.

At this time, the sedan chair stopped in an elegant courtyard.

At the same time, a voice came to Yan Jixue's ears.

"The bride is here!"

Bride? What's that?

Yan Jixue was stunned for a moment. Isn’t this the sedan chair going to the Royal Villa?

Before she could react, a group of matchmakers came over.

"Hurry up, take the bride into the house and dress her up, the wedding is about to begin."

"Wait, what's going on?"

Before Yan Jixue could explain, she was dragged by the matchmaker into a small house.

"Rude, what do you want to do?"

"Don't stop yet, do you know who I am?"

"..."

Inside the cottage, a bunch of matchmakers were busy running around Yan Jixue, not giving her a chance to explain.

After a while, they dressed up the woman in front of the dressing table.

Yan Jixue looked at the stunning face reflected in the bronze mirror. She wore a tasseled phoenix crown on her head, a red brocade robe with cloud patterns, and her hair was adorned with an exquisite golden phoenix hairpin.

The woman in the mirror has dark eyebrows, fair skin, bright eyes and white teeth. She is wearing a phoenix coronet and a bridal robe. She looks like a fairy banished to earth. She is so beautiful that one cannot take their eyes away.

Even the matchmaker who was in charge of the bride's dressing was amazed when he looked at the bride in the mirror.

This was definitely the bride with the most outstanding temperament and appearance they had ever seen.

Especially her temperament, there is no one else like her in the whole capital.

If I were to make an evaluation, she could be compared to the current empress.

"It is a great blessing for Master Xu to marry such a beautiful wife."

The matchmakers were not stingy with their praises. What more could a husband ask for than to have such a beautiful wife?

Yan Jixue stared at herself in the mirror, her mind in a mess.

"I am... could it be that?"

She chanted silently in her mind, slowly sorting out her current situation.

It's outrageous. It's absolutely outrageous!

She got into the wrong sister's bridal sedan, something that only happens in melodramatic novels.

Do you think this is outrageous? No, it is even more outrageous!

Now, she has replaced her sister and become the bride of her sister's sweetheart.

Many ministers of the Dayan Dynasty were invited to this wedding banquet.

As the ruler of a country, if this matter were to be exposed, she would definitely be killed on the spot and become a laughing stock of the world.

Don’t do this kind of thing.

At this moment, Yan Jixue was in a dilemma. It was the first time she was so panicked since she became the empress.

If this continues, she will have to get married first.

But the facts did not give Yan Jixue any time to think about it. She put on a red veil and was supported by the matchmaker to come to the lobby.

The entire wedding process was almost entirely completed by her maids.

After that, she was taken to the groom's courtyard and walked into the bridal chamber.

Yan Jixue was helped by the maid to sit on the bed, and then the maid retreated and closed the door.

This was her best chance to escape.

But soon, Yan Jixue gave up.

Which bastard locked the bridal chamber?

Are you afraid that the bride will run away?

It really is.

Time passed minute by minute, and Yan Jixue was left alone in the bridal chamber.

Bored, she took off the red cover and looked at the furnishings in the room.

Involuntarily, her eyes fell on a tea and wine pot on the table in the room.

Since being brought here in a daze, Yan Jixue hasn't had any water all day and is already very thirsty.

She drank a little secretly, so no one would notice.

Seeing that there was no one around, Yan Jixue, regardless of her image as an empress, tiptoed to the table like a thief, picked up the teapot and took a few sips.

"Strange, I feel a little dizzy."

After drinking it, a strange expression gradually appeared on Yan Jixue's face.

What she drank just now was not tea at all, but a pot of girl’s red wine that had been brewed for many years.

Although it quenched her thirst, it also made her half drunk and her consciousness began to become blurred.

I saw Yan Jixue's bright eyes gradually become blurred and ethereal, like a pool of invisible deep spring water.

Her fair cheeks were slightly flushed, her lips were as red as blood, and her originally neat hair was now falling down in pieces, losing her original pure temperament and instead adding a bit of charm and seduction.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened. There were two big red wedding candles standing on the table in the house. The faint candlelight swayed back and forth, full of hazy and dreamy colors.

In stark contrast to the hustle and bustle outside, the house was eerily quiet, as if it were two different worlds.

"squeak~"

At this time, the door of the bridal chamber was pushed open.

A man in a bright red wedding suit walked into the room. Under the candlelight, his handsome face was slightly drunk.

He smelled of alcohol and was obviously drunk.

Yan Jixue hurriedly sat back on the bed, her heart tightening, but she still pretended to be calm.

At this time, Xu Chengling walked into the bridal chamber and closed the door.

It's not easy to be a groom. He was forced to drink alcohol all day long.

It was only just now that he escaped from the lobby in a panic.

Damn it, today is my big day, and these bastards are forcing him to drink. He has to deal with hundreds of people toasting by himself.

The dog is drunk again!

"Hey, lady, here I come."

Xu Chengling, under the influence of alcohol, came to the bride and lifted her red lid.

The moment the red cover was removed, a breathtakingly beautiful face appeared in Xu Chengling's sight.
