The man’s voice was firm, emphatic. He was no longer the idle, inevitably indecisive man, nor the unduly flirtatious young master. In front of an army of one hundred thousand, he solemnly bestowed upon her the title of Wife of King Qin, recognized her, and allowed her to be openly a part of his life. This act filled Cai Wei not only with shyness but also with copious amounts of emotion.
The man’s proclamation would undoubtedly offend the powerful General Li Kaifeng, who held massive control over the forces. He already had very few supporters within the court. Now, he had lost the most influential one, and the days ahead would likely be full of difficulties.

Everyone jovially picked up their bowls and chopsticks, awaiting their dinner. The soldiers who procured their meals couldn’t wait to stuff their mouths with this aromatic pork, their lips immediately glistening with oil.
"This tastes so good..."
