„What did they tell you or what do they possibly want you to do?“ Mo Liancheng spoke in a low voice, as if talking to himself. It made others not to be able to hear very clearly.

„Sweetheart, what are you talking about?“ Qu Tang´er continued to ask coyly.

This nauseating tone of voice is truly coming out from her mouth?

Qu Tang´er wasn´t so sure anymore......

Mo Liancheng continued to raise his eyebrows, looking indifferently at her.

Waiting for a long time, there was still no movement. Qu Tang´er once more used her coy tone to urge: „Husband, it´s becoming late. It seems it´s time for drinking cross-cupped wine [1].“

„.......“ A certain lord continued being silent as if he was waiting for something.

„Sweetheart, it´s not good to miss auspicious hour.“

A normal man, after hearing his newly-wed wife calling time after time sweetheart, even if he was very patient and had unusually good temper, he would also think his bride had frivolous manner. Losing favor was certainty. This was precisely the first trick Qu Tang´er planned – to make Mo Liancheng to keep away from her.

Unexpectedly, Mo Liancheng indifferently said: „Are you that much impatient?“

„Yes-ah, sweetheart. Every moment of spring night[2] is worth of thousands of gold. It´s truly not good to waste it. Therefore let´s hurry up and be done with it.“ She definitely came here to nausea him to death, to make him not interested in „consummating“ the marriage. Wrong. Heh, heh. When cross-cupped wine would be drunk, even if he had s.e.x drive, it was impossible to revive it. That was her second trick.

„Apparently, they have taught you well. You even understand thoroughly how to seduce a man. Since you are so wanton then Ben w.a.n.g can actually....... consider fulfilling you this wish.“ Mo Liancheng coldly spoke.

Suddenly, like an explosion, it blasted Qu Tang´er´s brain to dizziness.

The first trick failed.....woo woo.

After a long time.....there was no movement in bridal chamber .

In the middle of silence, from the thin lips of Mo Liancheng slowly came out few sentences: „Your wish will come true. Are you happy?“ He just wanted to make a step to walk over to bedside, only, he didn´t finish the first step.

„Wait!“ Qu Tang´er´s big spinning eyes under red headcover quickly flashed, „Sweetheart, we haven´t yet drunk cross-cupped wine.“

Mo Liancheng swept a glance at two cups of wine on the table, his eyes turned cold, „There´s no need. It´s better to directly consummate the marriage. Weren´t you very impatient?“

Qu Tang´er´s body went rigid.

Did cross-cupped wine with stuffs included in it not even got in handy? Changing to another method...... subsequently she held her forehead under the red headcover, „Sweetheart, Tang´er is feeling ill today. Had a high fever. It looked like almost 39.8 degree. I´m afraid I´m unable to help your highness to complete the wedding night.“

„Ben w.a.n.g don´t mind.“

„Uhuh. Also Tang´er got pimples on face. It seems to be a skin rash. I´m afraid if husband see it, it will affect husband´s s.e.x drive.“ He actually said that he didn´t mind?! Go to h.e.l.l with his don´t mind. The problem is that she does mind very much, ok? Besides, she had already said so much and was so blunt. Even an idiot would be able to understand her meaning, right? The meaning was —— she didn´t wanted to have wedding night!

Yet........

„Since you showed so much consideration on Ben w.a.n.g´s behalf, then Beng w.a.n.g should even more properly treasure you tonight.“ Mo Liancheng suddenly became very patient.

„Treasure?“ The corners of mouth of Qu Tang´er twitched. She suspected she has misheard. After reflecting, she forcibly swallowed back foul words that almost came out from her throat. She continued to use her soft voice and coquettishly protested: „But......Tang´er´s period came.“

„So?“ He heard her message. It was the first time his presence caused woman to feel disgusted

„Therefore it would be better for hubby to choose another place to sleep.“

„This is Ben w.a.n.g´s bridal chamber.“

„It´s like that, right. If you don´t mind sleeping on the floor, then Tang´er wouldn´t mind you staying.“

„Very good.“ He lightly replied.

[1] Drinking “cross-cupped wine” is a custom in the bridal chamber before consummating. The bride and the bridegroom each holds a wine-filled cup, standing face to face, with their cup-holding arms crossed and drinking from each other’s cup. The cross-cupped wine symbolizes the previously two separate individuals are joined as one by the wedding (from http://traditions.cultural-china.com/en/14T30T122.html)

[2] spring night here is probably reffering to their wedding night
