68 The wedding night

In a bunk of an eye, it was the wedding day, everyone looked forward to the special day for all the wrong reasons. The Emperor looked forward to the day, he clipped the wings of this unruly nephew of his.

The Empress had already come to terms with the whole thing but was in a bind thinking of how to appease Elder Princess Ni'an. The Emperor was breathing down her neck, waiting patiently for the deadline. 

While the Emperor and imperial consort Shi waited patiently to see their plan progress, the rest of the noble families all waited to watch a show. Everyone waited for a big showdown but were surprised when they got nothing.

The day before the wedding, madam Lu went through the arrangements made by the servant. She stood by the wall in the banquet all, while the steward in charge of the mansion Uncle Lu gave a rundown of everything. She made corrections where she should until she was satisfied then returned to her room.
