Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

My wedding with Shen Junhui was scheduled for mid-August in Hegang, at the Island Hotel, the largest hotel in the area. Three days before the wedding, the Shen family delivered the wedding dress to me, asking me to try it on again. If it still didn't fit, I could alter it overnight. I'd been busy with my thesis this year and had lost a lot of weight. The dress I had tailored last year was a bit loose, so after three alterations, it finally fit.

In the early morning of the wedding day, I was woken up by the alarm clock and I had to get up to put on makeup. Originally, Shen Junhui didn't want me to sleep because he was afraid of missing the auspicious time. But sleep is very important to me, so I insisted on sleeping for a few hours. I was really groggy when I got up in the early morning. The makeup artists were already ready. After I washed my face, they put on my makeup. I took the opportunity to take a nap! I fell asleep again soon. I don't know how long it was before the makeup artist woke me up and asked me to open my eyes to apply eyeliner. I lifted my heavy eyelids to cooperate with the makeup artist, and finally sprayed some setting spray to complete the makeup. After putting on my makeup, I put on my wedding dress with the help of the staff and sat in the room waiting for Shen Junhui to arrive.

Around six o'clock, Shen Junhui and his group of friends arrived to pick up the bride, but they were blocked outside by my group of sisters. After some maneuvering and bribery, they managed to get into the room. I saw him in his wedding attire, with a large red flower tied to his chest, looking like a high-spirited top scholar. But once inside, my sisters wouldn't let him go, especially Zheng Lan, who forced him to do a hundred push-ups before he'd let go, leaving him breathless. As I was about to leave, we all took a group photo.

My parents were already sitting in the hall. Shen Junhui helped me to come in front of my parents. He and Zheng Lan each helped me to kneel down slowly. We, the newlywed couple, knelt in front of my parents and offered them tea.

"Dad! Have some tea!" Shen Junhui took the teacup and offered tea to my dad with a grin on his big white teeth. After my dad finished drinking it, he gave him a red envelope.

"Mom, have some tea!" Shen Junhui took another cup of tea and offered it to my mother. After she finished, my mother gave him a red envelope. Then I offered tea to my parents as well. After that, my parents gave us a few words of advice, and we took a photo together before leaving.

In the car, Shen Junhui held my hand tightly, and the grip became tighter and tighter, but I shook him off, "You're going to break my hand!"

"I'm sorry, wife! I was too nervous! Too excited!" Shen Junhui replied proudly.

"You are such a thick-skinned person, would you be nervous? I don't believe it."

"Hehe! We are really getting married! Today you become my bride!" Shen Junhui looked at me proudly, smiling all the way.

The process was similar after I entered his house. I offered tea to his parents and grandfather, and they all gave him a red envelope in return and said some blessings.

……

There were so many things to do throughout the day, and his family is so wealthy. All those huge gold bracelets, necklaces, and even a gold pig were hanging from my body. They were so heavy! Today's weight training definitely hit the mark! Later in the day, we arrived at the hotel for the wedding ceremony. We changed out of our traditional wedding attire and into Western-style attire. My father took my hand and walked us down the red carpet. We slowly ascended the stage, step by step, before Shen Junhui and handing him my hand. With the emcee presiding, we went through each step one by one.

The last part was the most solemn wedding ceremony. We invited the most famous barrister Chen Zhongnan in Hegang to officiate our wedding.

"Hello everyone! I am lawyer Chen Zhongnan, and I am also the marriage celebrant today! First of all, I would like to wish the newlyweds a long and happy marriage! Before these two become husband and wife, I would like to remind you, as per my duty, that according to the Marriage Ordinance, marriage is solemn and binding. Legally, it is a voluntary lifelong union between a man and a woman, and no third party is allowed to intervene! Today, in front of me and the guests present, you have expressed your consent to each other as your spouse and signed to confirm it, and then you will become legal husband and wife! Do you both understand?" Lawyer Chen Zhongnan asked with a smile, holding the microphone.

"I understand!" Shen Junhui shouted with a smile, and his brothers also cheered in the audience.

Next, the man and woman exchanged vows, finally expressing their willingness to marry each other. With their parents and lawyers as witnesses, they signed the marriage certificate, completing the ceremony! Finally, I tossed the bouquet, and Zheng Lan, with all her might, finally grabbed it. Seeing her so happy, I wanted to pass on this good luck to her.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, the wedding banquet officially began, and it was time for the eating part that everyone loves! After the ceremony, we changed out of our formal wear and put on toast clothes, and then we had to toast table by table. At this stage, I really regretted why I invited so many people! I couldn't even toast them all! Moreover, the Shen family is a well-known and influential family in Hong Kong Island, and the people who came are all big shots. Just toasting and greeting one table would take a long time. I just wanted to finish quickly and go back to sleep. Getting married is really tiring! I used to dislike Rong Zixuan for not giving me a wedding, but now that Shen Junhui gave it to me, I regret it!

We finished the wedding banquet in the early morning and returned home exhausted, but Shen Junhui was already drunk and unconscious! I didn't want to pay attention to him, so I covered him with a quilt and let him fall asleep. Looking at his dead face, I couldn't help but sigh, it's so good to be a man, you can just lie down and fall asleep! Who cares if he is sloppy or not! Unlike women, they have to take off their makeup and take a shower, and it's four in the morning when they can really sleep! I really have to sigh again, getting married is really tiring!

The next day, when I woke up, it was already noon. I hurried to get up and called Shen Junhui, but Shen Junhui refused to get up, so I had to get up first. When I went downstairs, there was no one there. The servants said they had all gone out. I breathed a sigh of relief. After all, I felt a little guilty when my wife slept until noon on her first day at home!

I sat on the sofa to wake myself up, and suddenly Mother Shen called me, "Wife, are you up?"

I was surprised to see Mother Shen. "Uh, didn't you go out?"

"Yes, but I just came back. I was indeed busy until very late yesterday, and I was afraid that you didn't get enough sleep, so I didn't wake you up in the morning!" Mother Shen saw my anxiety and quickly comforted me.

"I'm so sorry, I really overslept!"

"It's okay! We don't have so many rules in our family! You can sleep as long as you want! Ah Hui must not be awake yet, right!" Mother Shen said with a smile.

"He was very drunk and I couldn't wake him up no matter how hard I tried!"

"It's okay, let him sleep! Come, I'll take this opportunity to introduce you to our family. From now on, you will be the mistress of this house!"

"No, you are!"

"Mom is old now, and the world will be ruled by you young people from now on!"

Then Mother Shen introduced to me how many servants there were in the house, their names, and other situations of the Shen family. The whole afternoon passed in the introduction.

"It's late and Ah Hui hasn't woken up yet. Do you want me to go call him?" I said, looking at the watch on my wrist.

"Let him continue sleeping! He always sleeps the whole day when he's drunk!" Mother Shen was not surprised.

"He can sleep so long!" I was surprised.

"It seems like he never drinks when he's with you, so you don't even know what he looks like when he's drunk!"

"I've expressly forbidden him from drinking alcohol, and alcohol isn't a good thing either. He should drink as little as possible!"

"I feel relieved now that I've handed him over to you!" Mother Shen was very pleased. "Oh, by the way, where are your children? Bring them over too! It makes the house more lively with children! Our family is small, so having a few children would make it more lively!"

"The three boys are too noisy, and Grandpa still needs some rest! Let them stay over there, there are servants to take care of them!"

"When grandpa went out today, he specifically told me to ask you to bring the children with you. He said he likes children! He wants to play with them! Grandpa has wanted to hold his great-grandson for a long time!" Mother Shen's words had hidden meaning, but I pretended not to understand.

"These three guys are being really noisy right now! Jumping around like crazy, I'm afraid they'll cause chaos in this house!"

"It's okay for boys to make a little noise! When we get older, we just love watching kids make noise! It makes us happy!"

"But……"

"Don't worry, go get them!"

At the urging of Shen's mother, I brought the three children over. In the evening, when Grandpa Shen returned home, he loved the three children very much, especially the twins!

"Look how cute this pair of twins are! Wei Qing, is there anyone in your family who has twins?" Grandpa Shen asked happily.

"I don't have any brothers or sisters on my father's side, but my uncle had three twins."

"Wow! What a blessing!" Grandpa Shen's eyes lit up when he heard this. "I wish our Shen family could have a couple like this in the future!"

"Grandpa! Wei Qing must have the gene for twins. I, your grandson, am in such good health that I can definitely give birth to a pair for you!" Shen Junhui said confidently.

I quietly walked over to Shen Junhui, pinched him, and whispered, "No one would think you're dumb if you don't speak! Can you have twins just because you want to?"

"I'm just saying it! Just to make the old man happy!" Shen Junhui replied in a low voice.

"What are you two whispering about?" Mother Shen turned around and teased us.

"Nothing, nothing!" I explained awkwardly.

The three children were energetic and eloquent, which made Grandpa Shen very happy. He didn't want to leave them until bedtime. After many persuasions from us, Grandpa Shen reluctantly went to rest.
