As soon as Song Yi'an heard this, he got anxious.
"How can we not use it? This is..."
Seeing his anxious look, Li Qiyu was afraid that if she tried to stop him any longer, he would cry on the spot. She explained, "What I mean is that we can just use water instead. You're still injured. It's not suitable for you to drink alcohol. Besides, who has a light bulb around on their wedding night?"
Hearing this, Song Yi'an finally gave up the idea of having someone bring wine. Fortunately, although there was no wine in the hotel, there were still glasses. Song Yi'an found two goblets and poured two glasses of mineral water. He handed one glass to Li Qiyu. They stood facing each other. Seeing Song Yi'an standing there at a loss, Li Qiyu took the initiative to guide him. They crossed their arms. Li Qiyu drank first, and then Song Yi'an belatedly followed suit.
Only then was the ceremony truly completed.
Li Qiyu imitated the way of ancient women and curtsied to Song Yi'an.
"My husband, I'll need your care from now on."
Song Yi'an clumsily returned a bow with folded hands. "My wife, I'll need your care as well."
Because he was so nervous, respectful language slipped out of his mouth.
Li Qiyu saw through it but didn't expose him. She rubbed her neck. After knowing each other for so many years, Song Yi'an knew what was going on just by this small gesture of hers.
He helped Li Qiyu sit down in front of the dressing table and then carefully began to remove her phoenix coronet.
"Where did you get this phoenix coronet?"
It wasn't easy to get such a phoenix coronet in modern times.
"I bought it from a film studio. But it's a pity that it's not made of real gold and silver. I asked several goldsmiths. Some didn't have it, and some were too small. But don't worry. I've already ordered one from a goldsmith. It will be delivered in a while. I won't let you wear a fake phoenix coronet."
Actually, Song Yi'an had considered waiting until the phoenix coronet and embroidered robe were remade before preparing the wedding with Li Qiyu. But it was different from ancient times. There were fewer and fewer people who knew this craft, and he wouldn't compromise on his requirements at all. The owners of those goldsmiths and tailor - shops all said it would take at least a year, or two to three years at most to deliver.
This wouldn't do. He couldn't bear to wait for such a long time.
So he quickly bought the wedding attire from the film studio.
Afraid that Li Qiyu would dislike it, he quickly explained, "Don't worry. This whole set of wedding attire is brand - new. The actors didn't even have a chance to try it on before I got it."
How could he let her wear someone else's old clothes on their wedding night?
Song Yi'an always showed his love in insignificant little things. A bit of nervousness and a bit of striving for perfection always made her teary - eyed.
At this moment, seeing Li Qiyu's eyes turn red, Song Yi'an thought he had hurt her while removing the phoenix coronet. He quickly squatted down to apologize.
"Sorry, sorry. Did I hurt you?"
Li Qiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She reached out to stroke Song Yi'an, her eyes full of tenderness.
This face used to be the one she hated the most.
But this person was the one she loved the most.
"You didn't hurt me." He was the one in the whole world who was most reluctant to let her get hurt.
After the phoenix coronet was removed, Li Qiyu's simply - tied long hair scattered like black silk, mixing with the red wedding dress and giving a strong visual impact.
Song Yi'an swallowed hard and quickly put the phoenix coronet down.
He was parched at the moment. He wasn't a fool. Of course he knew what was going to happen next, what should happen. But...
But it was his first time getting married. He was nervous.
Li Qiyu also lowered her head. After all, she came from ancient times. Although she had been married once, how could she take the initiative in this kind of thing?
But seeing Song Yi'an gulp down several mouthfuls of cold water and even suggest to ease the atmosphere, "If you can't sleep, let's watch TV. Don't you like watching Ultraman the most? I'll watch Ultraman with you."
Who wanted to watch Ultraman with him on their wedding night!
If she didn't know his temper, Li Qiyu would have suspected that he didn't like her very much and was using this method to avoid consummating the marriage.
Li Qiyu knew that she had to take the lead in some things.
She pinched her shoulders and pretended to be weak.
"I haven't worn such clothes for a long time. This embroidered robe is so heavy. I can't even lift my hands. Come and help me."
The words "help me" melted Song Yi'an's heart. How could he refuse? He quickly stood up and rushed to Li Qiyu's side. He took off the embroidered robe for her and then helped her take off her outer coat, serving her whole - heartedly.
Finally, Li Qiyu was left with only a red undergarment and underwear. But Song Yi'an's clothes were still intact on him.
Li Qiyu was really annoyed looking at him. She turned around. As soon as her hand reached for his belt, Song Yi'an's body froze in place as if she had cast a spell on him.
Fortunately, she could still handle him.
Li Qiyu took off his belt and outer robe for him. Although Song Yi'an didn't have long hair now, he still wore that jade crown. Li Qiyu wanted to take off the jade crown, but due to the height difference, she had to get close to Song Yi'an and reach up to barely get it. During this process, the soft and warm body of the woman kept leaning on him.
Song Yi'an was a normal man, at least in this life.
He finally let go of his reserve, forgetting his nervousness and stiffness. He hugged Li Qiyu tightly.
His movement was so sudden that it startled Li Qiyu. The jade crown she had just got in her hand rolled to the ground in this intense hug. Li Qiyu was also picked up horizontally by Song Yi'an and thrown onto the red quilt.
Li Qiyu watched as the man had learned to take off his own clothes.
She knew that Zhou Donglin would definitely not do such a thing. This must be Song Yi'an's character.
However, no matter who he was, she liked him.
When Song Yi'an leaned over, Li Qiyu took the initiative to reach out and hook his neck. After all, she was a woman who had experienced such things. And she had learned a few tricks from Concubine Xiang to please the emperor before. It was more than enough for her to deal with the inexperienced Song Yi'an.
Soon, Li Qiyu took the initiative. Amid Song Yi'an's stormy kisses, she turned over and straddled him. She reached out and untied the buttons of her undergarment.
The moonlight shone in through the glass window, creating a translucent feeling like porcelain in the surrounding environment. It was as if a big hand had stroked the smooth porcelain, and every line was as delicate as if it had been carefully carved and polished.
