[An Emperor and Empress Who Are Both Stubborn to a Fault]
On their wedding day, An Boya lifted the red veil covering Ning Siqi's head with her own hands. Once the matrons and maids had shut the door and left, the two of them put everything they had learned in their lives to use and fought eight hundred rounds in the bridal chamber. From then on, they became sworn enemies.
After the enthronement ceremony for the empress was over, An Boya looked at Ning Siqi, seated on the edge of the bed, and spoke down to her: "Ning Siqi, you are no longer the great general who used to charge into battle. From now on, you are my empress. You don't need to wield a sword or plan troop formations anymore. All you need to do now is hold on to the phoenix seal."
Later, when Ning Siqi followed An Boya back to the battlefield, she wanted to lead troops into battle. But An Boya spoke to her earnestly: "Does my empress want to go out and kill the enemy? Siqi, how about you share my bed, and then I'll grant your request?"
As Ning Siqi rubbed her aching waist and studied a map of the battlefield in the military camp, she secretly swore to herself: So what if she's the empress? One day, I'll make her pay for what happened that night with my own hands.
On the day she finally got her revenge, Ning Siqi held An Boya's exhausted body in her arms and coaxed her, as she struggled to keep her eyes open: "It's all right. Go to sleep, Your Majesty. I'm here. I won't let anyone see you like this."
