After the death of the host: the tyrant cried red eyes

Xiao Yi didn't care: "I am the rules."

"..."

After the explanation, the atmosphere around seemed to ease a little, and Xiao Yi's expression also softened a little, but he still looked serious.

Lu Zhong took the opportunity to replace the tea with new ones. Shen Bingning poured a cup and handed it to him: "Here."

Xiao Yi took it.

“But that’s not the only reason.”

Shen Bingning spoke slowly, and Xiao Yi put the teacup that had just been brought to his mouth back on the table with a "bang".

Xiao Yi frowned slightly, with an unexpected expression.

"After all, considering our friendship, the betrothal gifts are too much. I have always said that I only want to be with you. Although accidents happen frequently, no matter what, even without betrothal gifts, I am willing to follow you."

Shen Bingning finished speaking her prepared words in one breath, feeling secretly proud of herself.

With these words, the favorability rating should be skyrocketing!

"Estrangement? Why don't I remember any deep friendship between us?"

Xiao Yi's voice is low, making it difficult to understand his emotions.

Shen Bingning was about to speak but stopped herself. The memories of the three years of deep sisterly love between them were stuck in her throat, but were quietly intercepted by a pair of dark eyes.

Xiao Yi leaned forward slightly, her eyes rippling with the ripples of tea, and her words carried a barely perceptible tenderness: "How about, sister tell me in detail?"

Apart from anything else, his face is a visual attack, and it is flawless when you look at it up close. His unruly and charming handsomeness makes people's heart beat faster involuntarily. Shen Bingning swallowed her saliva, and was almost seduced by this beauty. She finally calmed down and coughed dryly to resolve the embarrassment: "Ahem, of course, it refers to our deep friendship over the years."

"At that time, there was indeed some affection between us."

Xiao Yi's fingers slowly stroked the wall of the cup, his eyes lowered, as if in deep thought. After a moment, he raised his head, his voice still cold:

"But wasn't that all ruined by your own hands?"

Shen Bingning pursed her lips, full of sadness: "I was wrong in the past, but now, I sincerely hope to reconcile with you."

Xiao Yi took a deep breath and stared into her eyes that were as clear as spring water. The sincerity flashing in them was so dazzling, just like the day three years ago when she and Xiao Qian teamed up to deceive him and cripple him.

He didn't understand why she could still have the audacity to say such ridiculous things today.

What confused him even more was that he had prepared thousands of sarcastic remarks in his mind, but when he came to his lips, he only said a simple farewell:

"It's late at night. I'll take my leave now."

Looking at Xiao Yi's departing back, Shen Bingning sighed softly, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and silently said in her heart: I hope tomorrow will be a sunny day.

---

Since then, Xiao Yi once again ordered a large amount of betrothal gifts to be sent back. This time, Shen Bingning did not refuse and placed the things neatly in the house one by one.

The wedding took place as scheduled. During the wedding, Shen Bingning often heard many ministers write letters of opposition, but they were all rejected by Xiao Yi one by one. It seemed that he was determined to complete this marriage.

Wearing that intricate and gorgeous scarlet wedding dress, which was densely sewn with gold thread and looked lifelike, the dark red satin shone with a luster, and paired with a phoenix coronet and bridal robe, it exuded the utmost luxury.

Shen Bingning held the heavy headdress, wondering why she didn’t feel her head so heavy at the last wedding. How much stuff was added to it?

The ceremony requires worshipping heaven and earth first, and then the enthronement ceremony.

Under the guidance of the nanny, Shen Bingning slowly walked outside. The important officials of the previous dynasty had lined up in an orderly manner, leaving a wide avenue in the middle.

The solemn atmosphere seemed to infect her as well. Shen Bingning unconsciously became nervous, straightened her back, but quietly took a step back.

"It's already this late, and you still want to slip away?"

Xiao Yi's voice was teasing. He was dressed in a red robe, looked very handsome, and had a confident smile on his face.

"No, I'm just nervous."

Shen Bingning looked around and said with a silly smile, "There are so many people."

Xiao Yi took the opportunity to tease: "Sister, you have a lot of experience in marriage, why are you still nervous?"

Shen Bingning was speechless and had to shut her mouth.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

Following a loud command, Xiao Yi turned sideways and stretched out a hand: "Let's go."

Shen Bingning hesitantly placed her hand on his palm, feeling the slight chill that was not warmth. Just like the impression he gave people, he had a chill that made him difficult to approach.

After taking only two steps, she was slowed down by the complicated clothes she was wearing, and she took every step carefully.

Just when she wanted to speed up the pace, Xiao Yi beside her unconsciously adjusted his pace, as if he was silently matching her rhythm.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two men slowly walked towards the central altar and, following ancient customs, offered sacrifices to heaven and earth with wine and incense. The entire ceremony was brief and solemn, and ended in just a quarter of an hour.

After the sacrifice ceremony, the formal enthronement ceremony followed.

Shen Bingning's eyes quickly swept across the faces in the audience, worry clearly written on them.

Perhaps, in their hearts, they were secretly sighing at the emperor's unwise behavior.

At dawn, golden sunlight covered the glazed tiles of the Forbidden City. Melodious music echoed in the empty hall, adding a festive atmosphere.

As the ceremonial officer shouted "Kneel", all the civil and military officials knelt on the ground in unison, performing the highest kneeling ceremony to express their utmost respect to the new queen.

Shen Bingning was immersed in this solemn scene when a hand forcefully pulled her attention back.

Xiao Yi held the jade book and golden seal representing the queen's position, and his eyes as deep as the night were fixed on her.

She quickly reached out to take it, and Xiao Yi suddenly bent down at the moment of handing it over.

When Shen Bingning came to her senses, she found a colorful ribbon around her waist.

This colorful ribbon symbolizes the couple's unity in ruling the country together. The different colors interweave to create a dazzling light, swaying gently in the wind.

Shen Bingning's mood became complicated.

Thinking back to the wedding with Xiao Qian, it was just a hasty formality that ended in less than an hour. It was nowhere near as solemn as it is today.

But at that time Xiao Qian was only the crown prince, so it was reasonable that the standards were different.

More importantly, the relationship between her and Xiao Qian was simply an exchange of interests, with no emotions at all, so it was reasonable for her to simply deal with it.

The unintentional pain in her fingertips brought her back to reality. She looked down and saw Xiao Yi pinching her fingers nonchalantly, with a meaningful look in his eyes.

"Sister, please concentrate."

The ceremony was over and night had fallen. Shen Bingning went to the bridal chamber first according to the rules and waited.

As soon as the door was closed, she couldn't wait to lift her veil. She hadn't had a drop of water after a busy day, her throat was dry, and her stomach was growling with hunger.

She took the snacks and started eating them in big mouthfuls, then gulped down a large cup of tea, and only then did she feel a little better.

"Host, aren't you afraid that the emperor will break in?" the system kindly reminded.

"Don't be afraid. Based on my experience last time, he will have to drink outside for at least the third round before coming back drunk. It's still very early now!" Shen Bingning said righteously.

After all, last time, due to her lack of experience, she waited in vain on the bed for several hours, and what she finally waited for was not Xiao Qian, but Xiao Yi, who was full of anger.
