Hilarious Pampered Consort: Lord I Will Wait For Your Divorce chapter 9

Qu Tang’er understood Su Yue La’s thoughts.

She also understood many principles and survival rules.

Didn’t they like to play precisely this kind of drama on television?

Harem, courtyard, fight between women. Its just a pity………..she didn’t want to take any part of it.

“Tang’er, listen to my advice.”

“Aiya, I’m so tired! I need to lie down for a bit. I have fallen not so long ago. I really hurt very much. It’s no good. It’s no good. If I don’t sleep for a while, I will be really tired to death.” Qu Tang’er waved her hands, showing a really tired to death posture. She swept a glance at the two women and, in the next moment, she hastily retreated.

“Jin Xin, help me to persuade her too.” Su Yue La spoke.

Jing Xin shook her head, showing a “my hands are tied” expression.

……..

One month later, the wedding was held as planned.

Bright red lanterns were hung up high in Qu and eighth prince’s manors. It was extraordinarily bustling with noise and excitement.

Phoenix hairdressing and colorful shawl¹, unnecessary and overelaborate formalities, none of them missed. It was hard for people to find any flaw.

From beginning to the end, the bridegroom was displaying a shallow smiling expression, making people unable to see if he was happy or not. No matter how much one was happy, if smile was kept for too long, the corners of the mouth would still become numb, yet…..

Welcoming the bridegroom, making three worships², entering the bridal chamber.

Alas!

Qu Tang’er sighed for 121th time. This was not the outcome she wanted.

When she came out of Qu manor, she was envisioning someone halting the sedan chair and snatching her. She wished for natural and man-made disasters to appear. The result was that the whole journey went smoothly and unhindered. Not even a bit of storm has been blowed her way. While entering the eighth prince’s manor, she was thinking if it was possible to let few women come out to weep endlessly and make troubles. However, the whole wedding went so smoothly it made her want to spurt blood.

Creaking sounds……

Doors of  the bridal chamber were pushed open. An elegant figure came in.

“May eighth prince and eighth princess consort love each other, have a harmonious marriage, produce a son soon and live happily together to a ripe old age.“ The matron’s speech was still lingering in her ears.

Shortly, the doors of bridal chamber were closed.

As for……..

Qu Tang’er sat on the bridal bed very calmly. The bridal headcover blocked her view. The wedding night tonight was impossible. She will try to avoid it as much as possible. As for how, it will be revealed in a moment.

First trick was ——

“Hubby!…….“ Qu Tang’er softly called. No. More like acting like a spoiled child. She used a voice so spoilt it penetrated to the core of one’s bones. She used it till her goosebumps rose. This single call, however, has successfully made the step that Mo Lian Cheng has just wanted to take come to a halt.

In the next moment, he firmly made a step. His peach blossom like eyes flashed a strangeness.

Does she take it here for a brothel?

A prostitute calling out for men?

“Hu…….bby, is it you who entered? What took you so long? Nujia³ is already impatient.” Qu Tang’er continued to act coyly. Heaven! This is what she has learnt after observing outside brothel for several days. Just……she wanted to spurt blood. She dares to swear to Heaven, the reason why she called him so seductively absolutely wasn’t because she was lustful nor was it to seduce him.

It was, of course, for other intentions.

It was said there were no men who liked ordinary rouges and common powders⁴. In that case, she will let him see her commonness and ordinariness and make him retreat three day’s march⁵ every time he saw her!

“Are you calling me hubby?” Mo Lian Cheng slightly raised his eyebrow.

“Yes. Aren’t you my hubby after we got married? Hehe, if you don’t like me calling you hubby, then can I call you sweetheart.”

“…………….” The expression on Mo Lian Cheng’s peerlessly handsome face went slightly stiff.

Truly. His usual serene look was falling apart.
