Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress

The bridal chamber was resplendent with gold, jade, and exquisite treasures. The Eastern Warm Pavilion had two open sections, with the Emperor’s throne against the north wall of the east side, to the right of which was a jade Ruyi, symbolizing "auspicious wishes." In front of the pillars connected to the kang bed, there were vases and precious utensils arranged on the kang table, and to the left of the kang, a pair of double happiness table lamps was placed on a long table.

In the northwest corner of the Eastern Warm Pavilion, there was a dragon and phoenix auspicious bed, on which was spread a thick red satin quilt embroidered with the double happiness character and dragons and phoenixes. The beddings included a bright yellow satin and a vermilion colored satin wedding quilt and pillows, whose patterns were graceful and the embroidery was fine, unmatched in opulence. On the wall inside the bed, a pair of celebratory couplets hung, and in the middle was a peony flower picture, with a pair of treasure Ruyi cabinets placed against the wall.

Cai Wei looked back and forth and was simply dumbfounded, this, wasn’t it too luxurious!?

How could it be so luxurious?

In her stupefaction, suddenly her head felt lighter, and her phoenix crown had been removed. Nangong Yi pinched her cheek, teasing her, "Silly girl, weren’t you just acting like you were so tired you were beyond caring?"

"This is just, too extravagant, aren’t you afraid the ministers will have objections?" Cai Wei’s question was off topic.

Nangong Yi embraced her shoulders, laughed, and said, "The Great Jin Nation has set standards for the maintenance expenditures of the Imperial Harem throughout the dynasties. The more concubines the Emperor has, the less silver each concubine can receive each month, hence the poorer their treatment; I am only marrying one in this lifetime, so naturally I am spending all the silver on you. Even with this, there’s still a lot of stipulated silver unspent!"

Cai Wei’s heart overflowed with sweetness. She smiled and leaned her head on his shoulder, coquettishly saying, "Then from now on I won’t do anything but spend money at home, to prevent you from having spare silver to support other women!"

Nangong Yi grabbed her face with one hand and pulled it outward as if punishing her, his tone feigned annoyance, "You heartless little thing, I have already declared to the world that I will only marry you in this lifetime, yet you keep nagging me about this matter, see how I am going to deal with you."

As he spoke, his hands suddenly reached downward, causing Cai Wei to instinctively protect her chest as she ran around the pillars in the hall, begging for mercy while running, "Your Majesty, please, spare my life, I shall not dare again..."
