It was day of the Emperor's Birthday Banquet. Su Ying was perfectly ready. His plan went smooth with the help of his hubby and all the talented servants. It was also proven that he can't do shit without holding his hubby's thigh...Without his hubby, he would probably be punished for his actions. Well. His hubby, he could do whatever he wanted ah...

Su Ying dressed himself in a gorgeous YInMn blue custom-made hanfu with simple but elegant patterns. He tied a little portion of his mulberry silk hair with an excellent blue jade while letting rest of hair flow down his back. 

He tinted his rosy lips, making them look exquisite crimson. Paired with his beautiful eyes and snow white skin, he looked extremely beautiful. 

Yusheng, who was forced into wearing a same colored changshan made from the same material as his wife' cloth, felt like his heart was about to come out of his rib cage. His cutely fierce wife...was too beautiful. Incomparably beautiful. How could he take his beautiful wife outside to let other people see him? He didn't want to! What if those people lust after his wife? His possessive self won't allow that. He went and wrapped his arm around his wife's waist. Didn't matter whether his actions were unsuitable to be shown in public! 

Other people couldn't help but go kyaaa~ What was with this fairy couple? Did they mistakenly came into the mortals world? So handsome~ So beautiful ah~

Su Ying helplessly looked at his possessive husband before kissing him to calm him down. What was his hubby worried about ah? He was his hubby's anyways... 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Emperor's Birthday Banquet started. All the cannon fodders in the play had long arrived. But...the main characters had yet to arrive. 

Empress Chen was smilingly talking to the Southern Princess Ye Qiang. She praised her for her beauty and asked her opinion about Li Yusheng. Naturally, she was indicating whether she'd like to get married with him. At this, Ye Qiang only blushed. Heh... Miss cannon fodder... You don't stand a chance though. 

Suddenly, the banquet hall fell silent as the eunuch announced the arrival of the MCs aka Li Yueheng and his wife. Everyone eagerly wanted to see the famous romance of the great General and his beautiful wife. 

Yusheng escorted his beautiful wife while holding his hand gently. Su Ying softly smiled at his husband. At which, the cold general's lips quirked up. 

WAIT! What kind of heavenly beauty was that! They looked like a match made in heaven! Look at that heavenly light surrounding them! And most importantly... 

The cold general smiled! He smiled! 

Everyone couldn't close their mouth. Such a gorgeous wife, it was natural that even the general would lose his head ah! 

Su Ying went along with his husband to greet the Emperor who's belly trembled even if he was just breathing. 

"Greetings the Son of the Heaven. May your majesty live one thousand years."

"Hohohohoho..." The Emperor laughed. 

Wait... This laughter sounds familer. Where did Su Ying hear it??? 

He didn't have that much to think because the Emperor started saying, 

"Yusheng, as I said before... Both of you are really a jade couple. Look! Everyone is so surprised. We feel like we're no longer the center of the attention... Hohohohoho..." 

Again... Why did it sound familar? 

Su Ying smiled as he said to the Emperor, 

"Not at all your majesty. If your majesty gives me permission, I would like show my present for you which I exclusively made. Only by getting your majesty's opinion, I'll be able to rest assure."

The Emperor laughed, 

"Hohoho... Show us what you brought."

Su Ying smiled as he said, 

"I have heard that your majesty values rare and savoring delicacies. That's why, I've made an attempt to represent a delicacy to you. I've already taken it for a poison check. If your majesty feels that it isn't enough..."

"Hohoho... Don't worry about that... Show me what delicacy you brought..."

Su Ying smirked in his heart. As he heard, the beer belied Emperor is really a foodie like him. 

He presented the ultimate item he made *cough* asked chef Han to make. 

Delicious aromas spread in the hall. Everyone couldn't help but look at the thing Su Ying brought. 

"Your majesty, this delicacy is called pizza. It was the great Raffaele Esposito who invented this savory dish."

Take that huh! Who doesn't like pizza? If you are a foodie, you must like pizza! That's what Su Ying, who had heard all sorts of exciting stories about pizza thought.

"Pisa? Raff- who?" The Emperor asked. Poor ancient people can't pronounce that. 

"He was a great Saint." Su Ying used his secret weapon to shed some tears. "I...I wanted to give your majesty a wonderful present. But I couldn't think of anything. That day... I was too tired and fell asleep. Then I saw a dream. I heard someone telling me about this rare delicacy and made me swear not to leak it.

I...I know that I'm not accepted by people. I've lost my mother when I was young and...no one really taught me much... I'm not worthy of my husband... But... But... I still  wanted to get everyone's approval... My love and loyalty for my husband gives me strength to bear everything. I...I'm sorry for ruining the atmosphere. Even though the gift isn't too much, I hope your majesty likes it."

Yusheng couldn't watch his wife cry even if it was fake. But if his wife was crying in bed, then it was a totally different story. He moved his hands and wiped his wife's 'tears'. Everyone couldn't help but feel sad when they watched the beauty crying. 

Seriously... Onions should be banned from being used as a weapon that can make people gain sympathy by fake crying. 

The Emperor was distressed, 

"Who said you're not suitable for Yusheng? We approve of you. We can claim that no one under the heaven except for you has the right to be next to Yusheng. Beacuse of you, Yusheng has become happier. Even his personality has become softer. Both of you really match each other. Those who says the otherwise, raise your voice. We'll personally teach them. 

Look... Even the mysterious power has favored you. Look at the delicacy you made! We can assure that you're perfect for Yusheng. It is Yusheng who might be a little unworthy for you."

Everyone nodded in agreement. 

Yusheng,"............"

Really, nowadays, anyone can be bought even  with food. Humanity is degenerating. 

The Emperor's eyes widened as he tasted the pizza. So delicious! 

"Su Ying, we really like your present. Tell us, is there something you want?" 

Su Ying pretended to think for a while before saying while showing a smile that hid his confident beneath, 

"Your majesty... I'm glad that you liked my present. I don't really want anything except for being approved as the *Madam Li. I hope that you can ensure my reputation and position in the Empire as General Li's wife as I would be by husband' side, making our decisions together. I also wish that no one will threaten my position in the future."

*By Madam Li, I don't mean the matriarch of the Li family. It means to be the sole partner and wife of Yusheng. 

Hehe... The Emperor was indeed a wise man. He understood what Su Ying said. 

Su Ying wanted to be 'Madam Li', not only Yusheng's wife. Which meant that he would become Yusheng's ultimate partner and even if someone was from a high position, they won't be able to marry Yusheng as a wife and only will be able to become his concubine which they probably won't do unless they are Yao Mingli. And whether someone from lower class than Su Ying was to become Yusheng' concubine will depend on both Yusheng and Su Ying's decisions. Besides, he also secretly indicated to the Emperor for not making any decisions for them like Yusheng' marriage. Smart! 

The Emperor smiled thoughtfully. He admired the ger in front of him who was intelligent enough to think something that. 

"Does Yusheng wish for the same?" 

Yusheng nodded. 

"Then We can easily make your wish come true. No one can shaken your position as Madam Li, Yusheng' only wife. Su Ying, you've won my favor."

Oh... The Empress Chen-slapped. 

The Imperial Consort Li-slapped.

The Southern Princess Ye Qiang-slapped.

Pitiful cannon fodders ah~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After greeting the Emperor, Su Ying went along with Yusheng to greet the Empress. Haha... It was now Yusheng' turn to play. Go hubby! 

The Empress was an old player in the Imperial Harem. Even with that loud slap, her expression was perfectly fine. 

"Yusheng, let me introduce someone to you. This beautiful lady is the Southern Princess Ye Qiang."

Yusheng,".............Oh............."

The Empress and Ye Qiang hardly controlled their expression. Show a bit more reaction Yusheng! 

Ye Qiang said while smiling, 

"The Southern Princess Ye Qiang greets the great General Li. I've heard all of your glorious achievements. It's my honor to meet you."

Yusheng,".... Oh...."

Yr Qiang's face twitched. 

The Empress tried to lighten the situation, 

"Yusheng, isn't she so sweet? I've never seen such a beautiful person like her. What do you think?" 

Sweet? Beautiful? She couldn't even compare to his cute wife's lovely little toes! 

"Oh? Is that so, your majesty? Unfortunately, I can't see anyone but my wife in my eyes.I think I might be becoming face blind." Yusheng said while clutching at Su Ying's hand. Nice thing he learnt from his wife. 

Empress and Ye Qiang,"............" 

The Empress thought that she should be direct. She thought Yusheng would never shame her if she does that. 

"Yusheng, I'll be straight forward. As your aunt, I'm very worried about you. I think that... Ye Qiang is a very good girl. And she also suits you. I'm hoping of tying the two of your knots..."

"I beg your pardon, but isn't your majesty forgeting what the Emperor said? The Emperor has approved my wife of being 'Madam Li', my sole wife and life partner. My marriage and other decisions are left to him as I trust my wife. I was thinking, if you want me...and the Southern Princess to tie the knot, it seems a bit impossible now...unless she wants to enter my household as a concubine." Yusheng said coolly. 

Opps... Did you guys hear the sound of slapping? So loud! Even my face hurts. 

Su Ying could barely control himself from laughing. Ahh! His husband! So handsome! So cool! So hot ah! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That night, Su Ying was really happy. His plan was a success. He was officially 'Madam Li' now. No one will try to hang a concubine on his hubby's head. Su Ying hugged his hubby while he giggled sweetly.

Yusheng looked at cute wife and couldn't help kissing him. He asked as he could barely control his desire.

"I've helped you so much. What would I get as compensation?"

Su Ying pretended to think for a while before saying seductively while making his right sleave slide down and showing his snow white shoulder,

"Dear hubby, I've nothing to compensate you with. How about I pay you back...with my body ah?~"

What happened next...do I even need to say that? Dog couple in heat! Don't do that too much ah!!!
