I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

"Your Majesty, you have already drunk two pots of wine. You can't drink any more."

Eunuch Shi held the wine pot and frowned as he tried to persuade Xiao Yunzhan.

"The Queen is still waiting for you in Changning Palace to lift the wedding veil."

After the banquet for all the ministers was over, the emperor kept drinking. He stood in the imperial garden with a red face looking in the direction of Changning Palace, not moving for a long time.

It's really true that the emperor is not anxious at all, but the eunuch is extremely anxious.

A night of spring is worth a thousand gold. It is almost midnight. If we delay any longer, the emperor will not be able to get up tomorrow morning.

Xiao Yunzhan took a deep breath and looked at the frighteningly bright Changning Palace.

A circle of big red lanterns were hung around the Changning Palace, illuminating the two big double happiness patterns on the palace gate, which made him intoxicated.

In his mind, he had already imagined Lin Yiran wearing a phoenix coronet and a bridal gown, with a washcloth on her head, sitting dignifiedly by the bed, waiting for him.

Thinking of Lin Yiran's snow-white skin and rosy, upturned lips, he couldn't help but breathe faster.

Xiao Yunzhan tightened his grip on the wine jug slightly, tilted his head back and gulped down a few more gulps.

This damn body just won't live up to expectations.

How come I'm not drunk at all after drinking so much?

He was so clear-headed that he didn't dare to look into Lin Yiran's clear eyes.

"Bring it!"

Xiao Yunzhan stuffed the empty wine jug into Eunuch Shi's hand and glanced at the wine jug in Eunuch Shi's hand.

"Your Majesty~"

Eunuch Shi cried out helplessly, but under the pressure of Xiao Yunzhan's eyes, he still handed over the pot of wine.

Xiao Yunzhan took the wine jug, tilted his head back and gulped it down in one gulp.

Eunuch Shi was right, he couldn't delay any longer.

It’s almost midnight, and Ranran is feeling sleepy. What should I do?

Maybe it was because he was thinking about Lin Yiran, but after Xiao Yunzhan drank the pot of wine, he instantly felt a little drunk.

He looked towards Changning Palace with misty and longing eyes, then staggered over.

Eunuch Shi quickly put the empty wine jug on the ground, trotted forward, and extended his hand to support the staggering Xiao Yunzhan.

"emperor!"

As soon as Xiao Yunzhan arrived at the gate of Changning Palace, the palace maids inside and outside the gate knelt down.

"No need to report, all of you please leave."

Xiao Yunzhan waved his hand and sent away the palace maids and eunuchs in the courtyard.

Eunuch Shi was tactful and sent away all the servants guarding the eastern warm room of Changning Palace.

Xiao Yunzhan took a deep breath and walked into the hall with unsteady steps.

He put his hands on the door, and his hands were shaking so much that the door began to tremble slightly.

With a "creaky" sound, Xiao Yunzhan mustered up the courage to push open the door.

His face flushed and he looked towards the bed with burning eyes.

"..."

Xiao Yunzhan looked at Lin Yiran who was sleeping soundly on the bed. The corners of his mouth paused, and then he smiled helplessly and dotingly.

After carefully closing the door, he slowly walked to the bed.

Xiao Yunzhan sat down gently on the edge of the bed and held Lin Yiran's hand on the bed with trembling hands.

Two extra-thick dragon and phoenix candles were burning cracklingly beside the bed.

Lin Yiran's sleeping face illuminated by the candlelight has a hazy beauty.

"Of course, I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

Xiao Yunzhan looked at the sleeping Lin Yiran with a burning gaze, his eyes full of doting, and murmured softly.

His eyes traced Lin Yiran's face bit by bit, as if he could never see enough.

He had never looked at Lin Yiran so carefully before.

As Xiao Yunzhan watched, his body unconsciously pressed down.

His eyes were fixed on Lin Yiran's red lips, and his throat rolled up and down uncontrollably.

Just when Xiao Yunzhan's lips were about to touch Lin Yiran's lips, Lin Yiran suddenly opened her eyes.

Xiao Yunzhan's pupils trembled, and he let go of Lin Yiran's hand in fear, and jumped out from the bed.

"Cough cough~"

Xiao Yunzhan, who was standing one meter away from the bed, awkwardly pretended to cough twice.

Lin Yiran looked at Xiao Yunzhan's red monkey butt and smiled with pursed lips.

If Xiao Yunzhan hadn't almost kissed her, she would have just pretended to be asleep and fooled him.

She had been awake since this guy entered the yard.

It was hard for her not to smell the strong smell of alcohol.

"Drank a lot of wine!?"

Lin Yiran lifted the quilt and sat up calmly.

Xiao Yunzhan's eyes wandered around, not daring to look directly at Lin Yiran, "A little bit at a time."

Oops!

Why does he feel guilty like a thief?

This is the wife he married in a formal ceremony, what is there to be afraid of!

Xiao Yunzhan encouraged himself and his eyes drifted towards Lin Yiran.

When he caught a glimpse of Lin Yiran in a bright red silk dress and her hair casually draped over her shoulders, the temperature on his face instantly doubled.

Xiao Yunzhan turned his head stiffly and looked at the dining table.

"Did you have meal?"

It was obviously a very normal question, but when it came out of Xiao Yunzhan's mouth, it seemed as if it carried suppressed emotions, and his voice was slightly hoarse with a hint of temptation.

Lin Yiran chuckled, and this chuckle made Xiao Yunzhan feel dizzy.

"I've eaten. You should have some hangover soup."

Lin Yiran got out of bed and walked to the table. She took out the warm hangover soup from the food box on the table and placed it on the table.

"The temperature is just right, come and drink."

Xiao Yunzhan looked at Lin Yiran running around for him, tears welling up in his eyes with emotion.

Ranran cared about him and prepared sobering soup for him early in the morning.

That’s really thoughtful.

Xiao Yunzhan walked to the table cautiously, held Lin Yiran's gift in both hands, and gulped down a bowl of sobering soup.

"Of course, I---we haven't drunk the wedding wine yet."

Xiao Yunzhan put down the bowl, glanced at the two glasses of wine on the table, and the tip of his ear turned blood red.

Lin Yiran looked at the two glasses of wine on the table, reached out to pick up one, and looked at Xiao Yunzhan with a smile.

Xiao Yunzhan smiled, quickly picked up another glass of wine, blushed, exchanged glasses with Lin Yiran, and drank each other's wine.

Lin Yiran put down her wine glass and took a step towards Xiao Yunzhan.

Xiao Yunzhan almost took a step back reflexively, but then thinking that they were already married, he took a firm step towards Lin Yiran.

The two walked towards each other at the same time, and Lin Yiran almost stuck to Xiao Yunzhan's chest.

Lin Yiran smiled and looked up at Xiao Yunzhan who was wearing a dragon robe.

She was really awesome. She helped an exiled criminal become emperor, and she felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Xiao Yunzhan felt Lin Yiran's breath on his neck, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

His usual cold eyes were gone, and they were dark and filled with lust.
