Loving the Naughty Empress

There is no answer or any sound inside the room after the door closing sound.

"Brother Yue… please answer me… is that you?" Ni Shi start to have a bad thinking. However, there is no sound or answer from him. in the end, she decides to open her veil to see her husband sleep on the couch. Ni Qing is trying to shake his body to wake her up, but he is sleeping so soundly on the couch. Ni Shi cannot carry his heavy body to their bed, so she left him to sleep on the couch.

She cannot believe that her husband actually fallen to sleep when they still have to finish their marriage ceremonies. It means that she will not have her wedding night. She holds tightly into her veil and decide to drink their wedding wine alone while remembering this embarrassing moment in her life. At least, she can pretend that they are consummating their wedding night.

Ni Shi decides to take off all her accessories and change her wedding gown into her sleeping clothes. She cannot accept this humiliation and she promises to pay it back tenfold to her cousin. If brother Yue still not hang his hope to her cousin, then she will not get this humiliation.

In the morning, Lin Yue is opening his eyes with a throbbing hang over inside his head. He still in his wedding robe and lay down on the couch inside his room. He can see the decoration of the wedding all over the room. His life has been robed from his hand and he has to follow the fate to marry some stranger. He sits down with a burning thirst in his throat. He reaches to the water pot on the table and pours himself a water to ease the burn.

Lin Yue finds a girl sleep on the bed alone. He finds out about her scheme and this time; it is the worse in his entire life witnessed all her scheme toward Ni Qing. He detests her scheme to become his consort and take her cousin place. Lin Yue decides to give her the tittle in the surface, but he will not give his heart to her. She is not his consort inside this room.

Lin Yue is looking at her when the sun already set and she still inside her bed. Ni Qing always wakes up earlier than him when they are in the barrack. They always have their morning exercise together. Lin Yue changes his clothes to have his morning exercise with his father and wang Bo. It is a compulsory in the Lin mansion to have their morning regime before going for their breakfast.

Ni Shi is waking up to find the empty room. Her maid is coming to the room to help her to get ready.

"Where is the young master?" Ni Shi is asking to her mad.

"Young master and the master are already having their breakfast and leaves to the palace for the morning court.

"why are you not waking me up?" Ni Shi is looking angry toward her maid.

"The young master is not allowing me to wake you up. If young madame is not able to wake up by herself, there is no point for waking you up. I am sorry, young madame," Ni Shi maid's relay the message from her young master.

"Tomorrow, you have to wake me up early in the morning regardless of the reprimand of my husband," Ni Shi is sternly told to her maid.

She is getting ready and walking out to familiar herself with the house. She makes herself to be well known in the house and demand the head butler to explain the household situation without having any discussion with his husband. They master of the house is busy in the court matter and leaves the house as usual to the hand of the head butler. However, Ni Shi is stirring the house with her authority as the first lady of the house.

Apparently, Lin Yue decides to stay inside the barrack in the capital while his father is going back to the border after speaking with the Emperor. Lin Yue decides to invest his time to pull his troop back to the capital and train them while The Emperor put another general to guard Lin Yue's post on the east border. As the plan from Ni Sheng, his best friend needs to see the marriage between his sister and The Emperor as the final blow. It will put an end toward his love to his sister.
