[Thanks for reading. Be sure to check the guide before you start! (=^▽^=)]
As the legitimate son of the Emperor of Yandong, Lu Yanqing should have been made Crown Prince and inherited the throne. Unfortunately, the empress's family wielded too much power, making the emperor feel threatened. Not only did he make Lu Yanqing a prince instead, he also married him off to the spoiled and willful Princess Anyang of the Chen Kingdom.
When Lu Yanqing heard the news, he turned to his friend Fu Chengzhou with a troubled look. "How is she a virtuous wife? The emperor's clearly saddled me with a shrew."
As a prince of the Chen Kingdom, Xiao Nanxu should have married and had children like the other princes. But when he was only eleven, the emperor of Chen made him a princess, and at seventeen, sent him to Yandong as a princess bride to marry Prince Jing, Lu Yanqing.
Xiao Nanxu didn't react strongly. He only said, "Go get me some pastries. It's a long journey."

Before they grew close, Lu Yanqing grimaced. "My father wants me to marry her. Isn't that just asking for trouble?"
A few months later, Lu Yanqing wore a smile. "My wife is waiting at home. Eat and drink your fill, everyone. I'll be off."

"What are you doing, Your Highness?"
"Waiting for you to admire the moon with me."
"I'm not in the mood today. Wait by yourself, Your Highness."
"Xuxu, are you angry with me? I was wrong."
"Tell me, Your Highness. What did you do wrong?"
"Everything. I shouldn't have gotten so drunk. I should have listened to you, Xuxu."
"Fine, I'll forgive you, more or less."
