Shan Qihuan never thought that he would marry someone, moreover, it was not a free love marriage, but an arranged marriage in feudal society, however, he was still a little uneasy, after all, he took the initiative to make a promise to the other party.
This is ancient times, not modern times, in modern times, one can still get a divorce if one wants to, however, in ancient times, one had to be responsible for a person. If it were not handled well, it would be a matter of life and death, moreover, he was also a member of the royal family, so this kind of problem should not arise.
In the past, Shan Qihuan had a dispensable attitude towards marriage, however, now he has become serious, so he should take this marriage seriously, on that day, Shen Yuhan agreed to him, and he also accepted the other party’s sachet, which is really useful.
Everything was carried out in accordance with the etiquette of the Chu Kingdom, the new emperor even stayed at the banquet for a while for the sake of making a show, today was his big day, and there was no reason for him to be unhappy, he conscientiously acted as an ancient bridegroom, and toasted when it was time to toast, until the sky darkened, he also took advantage of intoxication to get away from the banquet, and was helped back to his bridal chamber by Zhi Shi and the others.
The bride sat obediently on the bed with his head covered with a red bridal veil, he waved everyone away, leaving only the two of them in the bridal chamber.
Shan Qihuan began to feel nervous again, and his palms began to sweat, he followed the wedding matron’s previous instructions and used a jade ruyi1玉如意 (yù rú yì): jade ruyi; ruyi is a Chinese curved decorative object that serves as either a ceremonial scepter in Chinese Buddhism or a talisman symbolizing power and good fortune in Chinese folklore. The “ruyi” image frequently appears as a motif in Asian art. 
to lift the bride’s red bridal veil, the bright red veil slowly fell down, revealing the beauty’s true face.
His new wife is called Shen Yuhan, a ger, and is now Shan Qihuan’s newlywed wife.
Perhaps because he had been drinking and was a bit tipsy, Shan Qihuan stared blankly at his new wife and blurted out: “You’re the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen.”
He didn’t say whether it was a man or a woman, or even a ger, out of respect for his new wife.
Shen Yuhan lowered his head slightly, his face feeling slightly hot: “Thank you, Wang Ye.”
Shan Qihuan was not accustomed to the title Wang Ye: “Don’t call me Wang Ye, can you call me something else?”
Shen Yuhan paused for a moment: “Lord Husband?”
Shan Qihuan’s heart trembled slightly, this was fine, he pretended to be calm and sat down on the chair next to him.
In fact, his new wife is a boy, but he was raised with a girl’s mindset, over time, if he could instill some modern concepts into him, maybe things would be different, he felt that Shen Yuhan looked very smart.
At this time, Shen Yuhan followed him up, lifted up the wine bottle first, poured two cups of wine, and handed one to Shan Qihuan.
“Lord Husband, let’s drink a cup of wine.”
Shan Qihuan was already a little fuzzy, then he heard his wife’s soft voice, and he became even more fuzzy.
“Drink.”
In order to take care of the ancient people, Shan Qihuan didn’t even take a close look at Shen Yuhan’s hands, and now that he was looking at his fine fingers like green onions holding a cup of wine, he found it so beautiful that he almost became obsessed with it.
It’s not that he has never seen modern delicate boys, their skin and appearance are indeed very well maintained, but when compared with the Shen Yuhan in front of him, it’s basically two levels, as far apart as heaven and earth2天壤之別 (tiān rǎng zhī bié): lit. as different as sky and earth (idiom); as far apart as heaven and earth; fig. night and day difference; to be poles apart; to be like night and day; to be a world of difference between them; opposite extremes; a far cry from; refers to the difference between the sky and the earth. The difference is huge..
Shen Yuhan’s posture and temperament were very good, and no one could find any fault with him, Shan Qihuan saw what a ger cultivated by a big family was like, moreover, he was also the number one beauty of the Qi Kingdom that the late emperor wanted, and now they were having a formal exchange of cups of wine between bride and groom.
Who would have thought that the beauty would end up marrying him, the ‘Idle Prince’?
After drinking the cup of wine, Shen Yuhan took a box and a pair of scissors, cut off a strand of his hair, then looked at Shan Qihuan and handed the scissors to him: “Lord Husband, here.”
Shan Qihuan also cut off a strand of hair, and Shen Yuhan tied the two strands of hair into a knot and intertwined them together, from now on, they were husband and wife by the first marriage.
Watching Shen Yuhan carefully put the box away, Shan Qihuan felt extremely satisfied, he should really want to marry himself, right? After all, he took the initiative to agree.
Shen Yuhan looked into the mirror and took off all the cumbersome ornaments on him, he turned to Shan Qihuan and asked: “Lord Husband, do you want to take a bath first and then rest?”
“Um.” It’s uncomfortable to fall asleep with a body smelling of alcohol.
After the two freshened up, they went to bed together to rest.
Shan Qihuan suddenly remembered the way the bride and groom were filmed in the bridal chamber in costume dramas, the groom and the bride would rush into the bridal chamber without even removing their accessories, which was not in accordance with common sense, at the very least, one should be comfortable before being able to rest.
The day of their wedding was also a winter day, both of them changed into loose-fitting casual clothing, and there was a strong charcoal fire in the room, Shan Qihuan would still open a crack in the window for ventilation to prevent them from being poisoned by carbon monoxide, they had escaped the pursuit of their enemies, but don’t overlook common sense.
It’s hard to imagine that two unfamiliar people were lying on the same bed like this.
Shan Qihuan knows that there is a beauty lying beside him, and he also knows that this person is his legal spouse by law, it seems very normal to do something, in the end, he is also a man with normal function.
When the fragrant person next to him nuzzled towards him, Shan Qihuan turned sideways and faced the other party, their eyes facing each other.
Shan Qihuan couldn’t think of anything else in his mind, all the thoughts of struggling to be an honorable man were thrown out of his mind, he gently lifted Shen Yuhan’s chin, and bit on it.
His newlywed wife was very young, staring at him without moving, Shan Qihuan lowered his head, kissed him, and said: “Don’t worry.”
The surprised beauty looks so cute.
There are three joys in life3人有三喜 (rén yǒu sān xǐ): lit. people have three joys. This phrase is often used to refer to the three happiest events in a person’s life: birth, wedding, and success in one’s career. It signifies the joyous occasions that bring happiness and fulfillment in a person’s life., and the night of the wedding seems to be the most joyful, Shan Qihuan is now enjoying this joy and sharing it with his newlywed wife, the two of them don’t rest until the dawn is approaching.
Sleeping with someone in his arms, Shan Qihuan was unexpectedly cautious, but also very relaxed, and his wandering heart found a place to settle down.
–
Not long after their marriage, Shan Qihuan took the initiative to submit a memorial to the new emperor, he wanted to go to his fiefdom as soon as possible so as not to annoy the new emperor by staying in the capital, at present, the other party could still use him, but when his usefulness diminishes, the new emperor will definitely find a way to remove him, Shan Qihuan is not alone now, he was no longer ‘if one person eats enough, the whole family won’t be hungry4一人吃飽全家不餓 (yī rén chī bǎo quán jiā bù è): lit. if one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry. It means that if a single person has no wife or children; so when he is full, the whole family will also be full, because there is only one person in the whole family. T/N: This is unrelated, but reading the description reminds me of a dark joke I heard on Instagram one time. It goes like this: When an orphan took a selfie, what was it called? Answer: A family portrait.‘, he still has to take responsibility for his beautiful wife.
The new emperor has been living a very nourishing life lately, so he let Shan Qihuan go without much thought, some ministers advised him not to let Shan Qihuan go, but he didn’t pay attention to it, he thought that the Virtuous King was not only naive and greedy, but also timid, he will not be able to achieve anything.
Shan Qihuan and Shen Yuhan have nothing to cherish about the capital, Shan Qihuan is a modern person who has just arrived, while Shen Yuhan is from another country, they both want to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible, they all need time to adapt to their new identities, and leaving the capital is the best way.
After leaving the capital, Shan Qihuan and Shen Yuhan both breathed a sigh of relief.
The fiefdom is relatively remote, according to the new emperor’s thinking, it is impossible for Shan Qihuan to develop there, so he naturally let him go with peace of mind, however, when Shan Qihuan came here, he found that this place was rich in products, he had experience brought by modern times, and knew that iron ore had been unearthed here, and not coincidentally, he also knows the geographical location well.
However, doing these things must be done secretly, and requires long-term planning5從長計議 (cóng cháng jì yì): to take one’s time making a decision (idiom); to consider at length; take one’s time to make careful deliberations; take one’s time in coming to/reaching a decision; taking more time to discuss and consider. Handle things carefully and don’t rush to make decisions..
Right now, the relationship between him and Shen Yuhan can be regarded as harmonious, there is someone who wakes Shan Qihuan up every day, his heart is also happy, and he also wants to give him a better life, he is not willing to let him suffer a little bit of injustice.
The more he gets to know Shen Yuhan, the more he discovers that his status as number one ger is not for nothing, he is extremely talented, and proficient in Qin, Go, calligraphy, and painting.
On the way to the fiefdom, the two of them were still a little stiff at first, but after all, Shan Qihuan was experienced and knowledgeable, he could tell Shen Yuhan a lot of things that he had never been exposed to before, the way he spoke was also quite humorous and interesting, completely different from what he knew about the Third Prince, he knew astronomy from above and geography from below.
They still had two days to reach their fiefdom, so there was no need to sleep in the open today, they could rent a house to stay in.
The winter in the south is different from the winter in Chu Kingdom, it is cold, but it’s damp cold, not dry cold, at night, they had to have a fire to be able to sleep, Shen Yuhan was fine, Shan Qihuan was like a natural stove, with the person holding him, he didn’t feel cold at all.
On that night, after a month of intimacy with each other, they almost talk to each other without reserve.
“Lord Husband, can I only see the Altair and Vega you mentioned in summer? Can’t I see them now?” Shen Yuhan was not very sleepy tonight, he couldn’t sleep yet.
“Yes, because at that time, there will be a Milky Way woven with countless stars between the two constellations, which is very beautiful.”
“The Milky Way?” Shen Yuhan stretched out his hand outside the quilt and gestured, “Is it in the air?”
“Yes, let’s watch it together in the summer.” Shan Qihuan would give Shen Yuhan a little something to look forward to every day.
Shen Yuhan nodded: “Um, I didn’t even notice before, there is such beautiful scenery on summer nights.” He found that he liked the Third Prince more and more.
Shan Qihuan said: “There are many more interesting things, I’ll tell you when I think of them.”
“Good.” Shen Yuhan looked at him with a twinkle in his eyes, “By the way, can I write to my father and the others?”
“Sure, after we settle down, you can write letters to my father-in-law and my brothers-in-law every month, when we got married, I sent them a letter, and I think they received it, I have reported that you are safe, and I also arranged for people to escort the wedding party back, by now, they should have informed my father-in-law and the others of our safety.” Shan Qihuan told Shen Yuhan what he had done.
Shen Yuhan heard that his Lord Husband had done so many things for himself, he felt that his Lord Husband was not stupid, he was smarter than anyone else, the further away from the capital, the more relaxed his Lord Husband became, he would show his cleverness and wisdom6聰明才智 (cōng ming cái zhì): cleverness and wisdom; intelligence and wisdom; one’s ability and cleverness; one’s wisdom and talents; the wisdom and ability; having rich and agile intelligence and remarkable talents. from time to time, on several occasions, he came up with ideas to turn the danger into safety7化險為夷 (huà xiǎn wéi yí): to turn peril into safety (idiom); to avert disaster; to head off a disaster; turn danger into safety; get out of the jaws of danger; save the situation., and saved them from several disasters.
He took the initiative to kiss his Lord Husband on the face: “Thank you, Lord Husband, I didn’t even know it.”
“You’re welcome.” Shan Qihuan stared at the red mole on his collarbone and licked his lips, it is said that the better the ger’s health, the redder his natural cinnabar mole will be, he thinks his wife’s mole is quite red, like the topmost layer of a ruby.
The next moment, there are red waves rising in the tent, with such a beautiful companion, life is beautiful and blissful.
It’s unknown if it’s because he was carefree and content8心寬體胖 (xīn kuān tǐ pán): lit. heart wide and body fat; big-hearted and serene (idiom); contented and easy-going; carefree and contented; fit and happy; originally means that a person has a broad mind and a peaceful appearance. It is later used to refer to being in a happy mood and having nothing to worry about, so people feel comfortable; From the Great Learning (《大學》) in the Book of Rites: 富潤屋，德潤身，心廣體胖，故君子必誠其意。, Riches adorn a house, and virtue adorns the person. The mind is expanded, and the body is at ease. Therefore, the superior man must make his thoughts sincere., but Shen Yuhan found that he has become a bit more rounded lately.
After they arrived at the fiefdom, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, but Shen Yuhan had a good appetite and couldn’t stop talking.
Early one morning, when Shan Qihuan was meeting guests outside, Mo Zhu combed his hair for him, and while helping him put his hair into a bun, he couldn’t help but say something.
“Master, have you gained weight recently? Your face is rounder, and your waist is thicker.”
Shen Yuhan has always been a ger who loves beauty, when he heard that he not only had a round face but also had a thick waist, how can this be done, he immediately asked the doctor to prescribe some weight loss pills for him!
The doctor’s prescription for losing weight wasn’t prescribed, but he got happy news instead.
Shan Qihuan learns of the happy news from Shen Yuhan, when Shen Yuhan looks at his face, he flushes first, and then mutters: “I’m going to be a father!”
Shen Yuhan saw him spinning around in the room, which made him dizzy, however, before he fainted, Shan Qihuan fell straight down!
Mo Zhu exclaimed: “Oh my god, the prince is so happy that he fainted!”
Shen Yuhan, who was actually pregnant: “…”
This parallel world could be said to be fulfilling SQH & SYH’s regrets. SQH got his wish and tied a lock of his hair with SYH; while SYH got his wish and bore SQH’s child.
