Xiao Hanzheng went out to toast, and Xiao Baili brought food in.

She ate some with Shi Qingluo and left.

Shi Qingluo got up and took off her wedding dress.

After she washed up, she changed into her newly sewed pajamas.

A long red dress with long sleeves that stretched all the way down to her bare feet.

She initially made it on a whim and didn’t expect to use it now.

However, the material was thin, so she went straight to her bed and covered herself with the blanket.

If she had been cooped up like this in the past, she would have long fallen asleep.

However, when she thought about what would happen tonight, she could not fall asleep.

Hence, she picked up the script that she usually placed beside her pillow and continued to read, but she couldn’t.

She always couldn’t focus.

Not sure how long later, Xiao Hanzheng, who had already washed up, pushed open the door and walked in.

He saw that his wife was stoning.

He closed the door and walked over with a smile.

Shi Qingluo heard the commotion and looked up.

She saw her husband, who was wearing a red tunic, walking over.

The red color made his face look even more handsome.

Aiya, how could there be such a good-looking husband.

She was still debating whether or not she wanted to consummate her marriage tonight.

Now that she saw such a good-looking husband, there was no need for her to be conflicted anymore. It was as simple as having a sexual desire.

She saw that his face was as per usual and could not tell that he was drunk at all.

She asked in surprise, “You didn’t drink much?”

Xiao Hanzheng walked over, lifted the blanket, and lied down.

“They made me drink a lot. When Xi Rui and the others get married, I will make up for it.”

Those guys were simply too much.

They got him to drink one cup after the other.

However, in the end, they all were drunk and were taken away by their personal attendants.

“I took the sober pill in advance, so I wasn’t drunk.”

He had a high tolerance for alcohol, but just in case, he still took the sober pill in advance.

He was very glad that his decision was right.

If he didn’t eat it, he would have already passed out, so how could he eat his little wife?

He had been waiting for this day for a long time, so of course, he couldn’t let anything happen.

When Shi Qingluo heard what he said, she smiled and glared at him. “Cunning.”

Xiao Hanzheng pulled her into his arms and whispered into her ear, “How could the wedding night be ruined by the wine?”

Shi Qingluo did not feel anything when she heard Xi Rong say that previously.

However, when she heard her little husband’s magnetic and pleasant voice, Shi Qingluo’s face could not help but turn red.

As she had been single, she really hadn’t experienced a wedding night.

She buried her head in Xiao Hanzheng’s arms and reached out to pinch his waist. “Pervert!”

This guy wasn’t sultry now, he was completely flirtatious..

Xiao Hanzheng’s cheerful laughter rang out. “I only flirt with my wife.”

When Shi Qingluo heard his words, she raised her head to look at him. “You are the only one in my heart!”

It was almost time for the feast, so what should she do when she becomes excited..

When Xiao Hanzheng heard what she said, he looked at his own reflection from her eyes.

His eyes were filled with deep love and passion. “I love you!”

Then, he kissed her sweet and soft pink lips.

Shi Qingluo was not a pretentious person.

She took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck in response.

The red candles in the room elongated their figures, and the temperature kept rising.

The next day, Shi Qingluo woke up and the sky was already bright.

It was rare that Xiao Hanzheng did not go to the study room.

Instead, he lay beside her and hugged her.

Shi Qingluo was naturally happy.

She had just woken up when Xiao Hanzheng opened his eyes with a smile. “Are you going to get up?”

Shi Qingluo stretched. “It’s already so late. Of course I have to get up.”

She pushed him. “Why didn’t you wake me up earlier? I still have to serve tea to your mother today.”

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said, “My mother told us to sleep more last night.”

Shi Qingluo gave him another push. “I’ll get up, then we’ll serve tea to your mother and prepare lunch.”

The two of them had become a true husband and wife, and their words and actions were even more intimate.

After washing up, the two of them went to the front hall.

At this moment, Mother Xiao was embroidering while seated. “Are you hungry? I’ll get someone to bring you some food.”

If she were any other mother-in-law, most of them would have asked their daughter-in-law to serve them tea as soon as possible.

After all, since there was a make-up wedding ceremony, they should also make up for other marriage procedures that they hadn’t gone through previously.

However, Mother Xiao was not a tough person to begin with, and she had never thought of controlling her daughter-in-law.

Hence, she was more concerned about whether her son and daughter-in-law were hungry.

Shi Qingluo smiled and nodded. “Sure, you are the most considerate one, Mother.”

She was really glad that she had made the decision to marry into the Xiao family.

Her husband was good, her mother-in-law was good, and her sister-in-law and brother-in-law were also very easy to get along with.

Mother Xiao’s smile deepened. “You, you are so sweet!”

She loved Shi Qingluo, her daughter-in-law as much as her daughter.

Shi Qingluo walked over. “Mother, let us serve you tea first.”

Mother Xiao nodded with a gentle gaze. “Okay!”

Xiao Baili immediately served two cups of tea.

Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo each served a cup of tea to Mother Xiao.

Mother Xiao took a sip from both cups.

Then, she picked up two red packets from the table and handed them to the two of them.

“I wish you both a peaceful and harmonious life together.”

“Thank you, mother!”

Two days later, Fang Zhijun wrote another invitation, asking Xiao Hanzheng to go out for a gathering.

Xiao Hanzheng went, and as expected, Zhuo Jun was there too.

Then, he looked at him with a complicated gaze, and the adoration was even more obvious.

Because of this, Xiao Hanzheng did not stay for long and left.

The next day, Shi Qingluo asked Xi Rong to help deliver a message to the emperor, saying that Xiao Hanzheng had something important to tell him.

The emperor secretly asked someone to bring Xiao Hanzheng into the palace.

Shi Qingluo did not follow him this time.

The emperor met Xiao Hanzheng in a study room in a side hall.

After Xiao Hanzheng bowed, he told him about how he found out that Zhuo Jun was a woman.

The emperor was extremely surprised. “Are you sure she’s a woman?”

He naturally had an impression of the tanhua he had honored him with.

Although he looked fair and delicate, he really could not tell that he was a woman.

Those young ladies from an aristocratic family pretending to be men to go out and play looked very different.

Xiao Hanzheng nodded, “I found that her hands were very delicate, and her feet were not big. The incense on her body did not seem like those used by men. On the contrary, it was one of those that my sister liked, so I was suspicious.

“Just when she was about to fall, I held her up and took the opportunity to check her pulse. I hence confirmed that she is a woman.”

The emperor frowned and asked someone to take a look at Zhuo Jun’s identity and background.

He did not see any problems.

Besides her family background, Zhuo Jun also had a fiancée.

If one looked at it this way, who would have thought that she was a woman.

The emperor believed Xiao Hanzheng’s words.

Therefore, he could not help but think of some conspiracy theories.

Why did Zhuo Jun disguise herself as a man? Why did she come to participate in the imperial examinations?

She was really bold and reckless, or there was something else going on.

At the same time, he also thought of the spies of the enemy kingdom or the remnants of the previous dynasty.

After thinking for a moment, the emperor said, “You did well. You don’t have to worry about this matter. I will arrange for my people to investigate.”

As for the results of the investigation, he would decide whether to tell Xiao Hanzheng or not when the time came.

What Xiao Hanzheng wanted was for the emperor to investigate it himself. “Yes!”

The more the emperor looked at Xiao Hanzheng, the more he thought better of him.

If he dug out any big conspiracy, Xiao Hanzheng would definitely be his fortune.

He asked, “Do you have any plans for your future?”
