1st marriage.

Since Song accepted, the marriage was set. He didn't even bother to mention anything to QinShi until the 'game was set'.
It was, basically, a 'you are getting married tomorrow' kind of announcement for the poor Grand Prince.
And as imaginable, he wasn't happy at all to receive the news. He even went to try to speak with LianBi, to explain his position and to convince him to change his mind, but the answer was 'you wanted to be in the Court, now live like a member of the Court'.

Rest was only forcedly getting prepared for the wedding by the servants and tailors.

Guessing that Song won't mind and since he doesn't want to make too much noise to reach the ears of all the annoying Sacred Blood around, LianBi decides the wedding to be quite discreet and private. A bit like Eun's wedding in Scarlet Heart, them two, the Emperor, MeiXi and the priests for the religious rite.

QinShi looks as happy as if he was taking part to his own funeral. He also looks stunned and somewhat overwhelmed by the whole thing.
Before the end of the ceremony, the Priestess of Sethi draw on their arms the special dot that will disappear on its own only after they consummate the wedding and that'd be the moment when the marriage would become official.
*It's a common thing in every marriage, not a special treatment for the 'happiest couple' in Xhuanghen.

Gifts for the couple, secret bets among the little eunuchs on how long will the marriage last, some food and off they go, to Zhou Palace.

ShinLin "But I was inside the bathroom, with a heavy and thick wooden barrier to separate your hand from me!" He looks down but in a grumpy way. He looks grumpy, but he is really scared too.
"Mockery can't touch me. It's what people who feel threatened by my intelligence usually do to mortify me."
He blinks at the explanation about sexy. "It also revolves on actual, mutual desire, by any chance? And hormones."
He tries to imagine things he can't imagine, but only sees incredible mathematical discoveries, which he doubts to be what Song and his girlfriend used to do. "26.5 kg is worrying underweight for an adult woman though." Since he said half his weight.
"Why? There is absolutely no difference in the act itself, physically-wise, it only changes the location of the... penetration..." says the last word in such a low tone it hardly comes out. And also avoiding to look at him.

ShinLin His eyes widen at his first words. "These house really need stronger doors... I shall work on it." At least for the door of the room he will receive. "Besides, since this is your home it's reasonable to think you would not break the door even if you had wanted to harm me. Who would damage his own property?"
He tilts his head. "Nasty situation? Care explaining how?" Always due to the fact other people's reactions are a mystery to him.
"Aniyo, you are not and neither am I. It's not within my competences." Weirdly.
He shrugs. "Can you tell me in advance when you aren't meaning what you say?"
Another blood freezing sentence. "I actually don't..." And probably his butt doesn't look so manly. XD

ShinLin "But if a siege occurred, you'd be thankful to have ram-proof doors. Better safe than sorry." His favourite motto.
"Aniyo, aesthetics don't interest me at all. I'm for solidity and structure. I like to sleep quiet and safe at night." He is the type who goes to sleep early and wakes up early after a 8-hour rest.
"Are you implying that I'm not safe not even behind a wooden door because you'd break it to get to me and then buy a new one?"
He actually looks away at his words regarding people getting mad at him. "But I could I ever foretell what their reaction will be?"
He raises his hands. "I don't want to know such secrets." Probably the only thing that could move something down there for him would be a brilliant maths solution.
"I also don't want to find out how it works, don't explain!"

ShinLin He tilts his head. "I never had a home of my own so I don't know. I'd surely make the projects myself and design every little detail, including a number of secret passages and traps for intruders." He sounds like a delirating kid, the problem is that he has the knowledge to do such a thing for real.
"Because there has never been a strong earthquake in this area. It's seismically stable."
He blinks. "But wouldn't it be better to not do it and entirely go on our own way?" Would be good for himself, not so good for poor Songy probably. xD
"But nobody has ever hugged me warmly, not even when I'd keep silent."
He shrugs. "I don't plan to take a degree in medicine, what do I need to know about the anatomy of women?"
He bites his lip at his last words. "Why don't you have another glass of sake?"

ShinLin "I don't want an imperial palace at all, I would have loved my house to be small, on the right size to fit my needs. I just like to be the safest, especially when I sleep. Aish... how will I manage to close an eye here..."
He blinks. "What? I don't want to become Emperor, Master of Knowledge would be enough 10 times for me." But he needs 4 more degrees. :(
"I know, that way I'd be unmarried again and you'd marry someone else! I heard all Sacred Blood will have to marry a man, means General Yung and Zhendong are available!" Raises a thumb.
"I see..."
He nods. "Drink, drink." Even too supportive. He hopes he'll get so drunk he'll fall asleep.
