A red sedan was carried by four hefty mama's into the bridal's chamber, the sedan was decorated in a deep red cushion just like the whole room , the room itself was adorned with elegant red silk drapes that cascaded down the walls. Soft, golden lighting filled the room, casting a warm glow across the space. A large, intricately carved wooden bed stood in the center, covered in layers of red velvet sheets and fluffy pillows.
Alongside the bed, a beautifully crafted vanity displayed an array of sparkling jewelry and cosmetics fit for a queen. The room was also filled with the sweet fragrance of roses, as delicate petals were scattered across the floor.
A floor-to-ceiling mirror stood against one wall, reflecting the beauty of the room. The reflection enhanced the sense of grandeur, making the space seem even more luxurious. Tall, red curtains adorned the windows, allowing just the right amount of moonlight to filter through and create a cozy, intimate ambiance.
The bridal chamber was a picture of opulence and romance, a sanctuary where the newlyweds could begin their journey together in utmost comfort and splendor.
But in Liu Mei's case this was not not romantic at all , as a matter of fact she didn't believe in romance , she believes that romance on exist on TV and reality shows, they were all acting and nothing more, one can admire person but these emotions are just for a matter of time they never linger.
The four mama's bowed their head , they seemed to be very used of this after all Liu Mei was not the first wife of the lord, they had been Seven other wives before her, they all died on the wedding night , they death was absolute mistery , rumors had gone wide that the commander of war had no interest in women
Liu Mei sighed but this man was the man the stupid Marquis matched with his oldest daughter who was born by the late marquess, he then matched the daughter of a second wife with the Ning Wang ye.
The Marquis of jing an had taken a new wife two years after his wife's death , rumors had it that he was very in love with his wife that he never had any Concubines , he was devoted to his wife but unfortunately she died a month after giving birth to Liu Mei ,the Marquis was heart broken to the point that he remained single until after two years before he took in a new wife who produced two children, a daughter and a son they were born twin, after the birth of the two children, the original Jianzi daughter was forgotten, she was left in the mercy of her step mother who mistreated her.
Liu Mei felt like hours has passed , she was already bored by sitting on the bed , she lifted the veil that covered her face , her eyes landed on the low table that had refreshment on it , ' who said the bride couldn't eat ?' , she got down from the bed walking to the round table, she sat down on the cushion , taking off the veil completely , she pulled up her sleeves so as to not be hindered from eating , she dugged into the foods.
After taking a mouthful of water to digest her food, she finally heaved , she touched her flat belly , now she felt very filled , she opened her mouth and burped, since she is alone who cares about manners and etiquette.
Liu Mei got up , wiping invisible dirt off her dress only to turn to see a man standing not far away from her, his face was handsome and captivating, resembling the classical beauty of ancient Chinese porcelain figurines. His smooth fair complexion was complemented by chiseled features, deeply set almond-shaped eyes, and high cheekbones that gave him an air of nobility. His thick, dark eyebrows arched gracefully over his eyes, adding to his regal aura. Long, flowing black hair cascaded down to his shoulders, perfectly groomed.
The man's slightly pursed lips held a hint of a smile, portraying a sense of mystery and confidence. His slender nose added refinement to his face, while his smooth chin enhanced his masculine charm. His presence exuded an innate elegance that seemed to transcend time.
Dressed in an opulent traditional Chinese robe embellished with intricate embroidery and golden accents, he appeared as a figure straight out of a historical painting. Despite the grandeur of his attire, his demeanor remained humble and approachable.
His eyes sparkled with intelligence, reflecting a depth of character molded by his experiences and responsibilities. It was clear that this was a man who had known both triumphs and tribulations, and yet had emerged stronger and wiser.
“ you must be Liu Mei, ben gong's Qizi and the Known Divine Doctor. “ His deep magnetic tone said as he walked over to her.
Liu Mei fought hard within her self not to retort ' and you must be the lord of war , popular for killing his furens', but she smiled a fake smile that was evidently fake to them both, “ Qie greets the lord of war.“
The man smiled brightened as he looked at the ugly smile on Liu Mei's face, he walked forward to her standing just a step from her , because he is a head taller that her , he had to bring him self to her level, his eyes locked with Liu Mei's eyes.
“ it a pity , my wife felt hungry just a minute before we consummated our marriage.“ The lord said his smile still bright but there was no mirth in his eyes.
Lui Mei let out a laugh, her large eyes staring at his as she laughed mockily at him , but from beginning to the end of her laughter the Lord's expression didn't take a change a very calm smile still etched his face.
Liu Mei bowed , “ Lord forgive qie , but Qie's aunt is here , qie can not be able to serve the lord to night.“
The words Liu Mei said weren't lies , the Young Liu Mei was index on her menstrual cycle, it just happened that the wedding day was set on this day , even she was not happy when she opened her eyes the first thing she had noticed was that the Divine Doctor is menstruating.
## Qie “ is a how the wives or concubine refer to them selves before their husband.
## how a royal that is not the emperor refers to him self
**The last thing Liu Mei had expected was to find her self pressed on the bed, her two hands pinned before her head, while the Lord of war groomed over her.**
**'Was this man insane , is he trying to take advantage of her, even if they were married they still hold boundaries,and at least respect for each other, but before Liu Mei could say a would, Wang Cheng beat her to it.**
**“ since the commander's lady is not clean , ben gong will wait for five days, perhaps by then my Lady would have no cramps.“ Wang Cheng said his smile fell a little as he said. “ my lady better not disappoint me.“**
**Liu Mei cursed Wang Cheng in her heart as she nodded, “Qie would be sure to serve Commander properly in five days.“**
**Wang Cheng's smiled widened but his eyes still held no mirth, he didn't let go of her hand ,rather his left hand index traced her face, drawing from her jawline to her forehead then to her nose. “ it such a pity I wasn't even given the privilege to lift my lady's veil for her, I had since her with her mouth soiled with oils.“**
**“ if My Lord wishes, Qie would wear veil everyday for the lord to lift up.“ Liu Mei had spoken with out thinking, she didn't like this position at all and wished to escape,but then who wants to wear a veil everyday for this man to lift.**
**Wang Cheng seems to think before coming into conclusion, “ okay if it please my lady .“ after speaking he still made no move of getting off her. “ it seems the rumors shouldn't be trusted at times.“**
**“ what is the lord speaking of?.“**
**“ the rumors said, that Divine Doctor Liu Mei, hold no beauty , but seeing Divine Doctor Mei , I feel the rumors were false and unreliable.“ Wang cheng said , now letting go of her hands but he didn't get off her.**
**Liu Mei wondered if the Great commander lord of war , was a worshipper of beauty , even she had worshipped the beauty when she saw her new reflection from the mirror in the sedan , this Liu Mei**
glowed with an ethereal radiance that captivated anyone who beheld her. Her almond-shaped eyes, with their delicate long lashes, shone with an enchanting depth that seemed to hold secrets of centuries past. Her smooth, porcelain skin, seemingly untouched by the flaws of mortality, invited soft caresses like the petals of the most delicate flower. Her lips, a gentle curve that spoke of both innocence and wisdom, held the promise of a thousand whispered secrets.
It was not just her physical beauty that astounded those fortunate enough to gaze upon her, but also her inner glow, her spirit that emanated grace and strength in equal measure. Liu Mei carried herself with elegance and poise, her every movement an effortless dance. There was a magnetism in the way she commanded attention and respect without uttering a word.
But it was perhaps her essence that truly set her apart—an unyielding spirit that burned brightly, fueled by determination and a boundless compassion for others. Liu Mei possessed an unwavering resolve to fight injustice and heal all who sought her guidance as a Divine Doctor. Her beauty went far beyond what the eye could perceive, for it emanated from her soul and touched the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her.
She was a rare gem, a delicately woven tapestry of beauty, strength, and compassion—a beacon of light that illuminated the darkness. And as Wang Cheng looked upon her, his perceptions shattered the false rumors that had adorned her name. In that moment, Liu Mei knew that her true beauty was not just a reflection in the mirror but a manifestation of the love and purity that resided within her heart.glowed with an ethereal radiance that captivated anyone who beheld her.

She was a rare gem, a delicately woven tapestry of beauty, strength, and compassion—a beacon of light that illuminated the darkness but she wasn't bold enough to fight back her step mother.
**And as Wang Cheng looked upon her, his perceptions shattered the false rumors that had adorned her name.**
**“ qie is happy that the Lord appreciates this humble look.“ Liu Mei said smiling but the smile wasn't fake , of course she loved beauty , even in her past life she had worked all day in the laboratory but still Maintained her physical look, even thou she was quite a beauty in her past life , compared to this Lui Mei , she wasn't a beauty, this Lui Mei is a peerless beauty and has a rare kind of beauty.**
**But too bad her step mother and sibling slandered her name and beauty , rumors had it that this the Jianzi daughter had ugly scars on her face and wasn't presentable , she was believed to be a waste since she couldn't even inherit her mother's beauty, even when she administered elixir to her patients, she always wore a veil.**
**Every person in Jing an was surprised to hear that the Marquis had deemed the lord of war a perfect match for his daughter, and even the emperor had approved of the marriage**.
Liu Mei soaked her self in the warm water, the maids poured soap into the water as rose petals gently floated on the surface. The scent of lavender filled the air, creating a serene and calming atmosphere. Liu Mei closed her eyes and let the warmth of the water soothe her tired muscles, melting away the stresses of the outside world.
While she luxuriated in the bath, the maids attended to her every need. One maid gently ran a loofah across Liu Mei's back, exfoliating her skin and leaving it silky smooth. Another maid poured warm water over her hair, carefully massaging her scalp with a fragrant shampoo.
“ Zi is very beautiful and have a smooth white skin.“ the maid who stood behind her said.
“ Zi is the most beautiful, no wonder the Lord had spent all night with her.“ Another made said with a gentle smile.
Liu Mei scoffed in her mind , these maids were only trying to gain her favor by praising her, she was the first of the wives that ever made it through the first night , didn't that mean the Lord wants to keep her alive , didn't that mean the lord might favor her in the future.
“ if you keep flattering zunjue, zunjue might take it to heart.“ Liu Mei said closing her eyes, her words were meant to tell the maids that she knows their true intention and us not taking their words to heart.
None of the maids spoke again or try to flatter her , they carried on with their duties gently to avoid hurting the Lady and receiving punishment.
After her refreshing bath, Liu Mei was attended to by an old maid servant, who skillfully helped her dress in a splendid, ruby-red gown. The vibrant color perfectly echoed the rosy flush on Liu Mei's cheeks, accentuating her undeniable beauty. The luxurious fabric gracefully cascaded down her slender figure, hugging her curves in all the right places and creating an aura of elegance and sophistication.
The dress boasted intricate embroidery, delicately adorning the neckline and sleeves with elaborate patterns of golden thread, shimmering in the sunlight. Tiny pearls and crystals were meticulously sewn into the fabric, catching the light with every movement and adding a touch of ethereal enchantment to Liu Mei's ensemble.
The form-fitting bodice hugged Liu Mei's slender waist, showcasing her graceful posture and enhancing her regal demeanor. The dress flowed outward from her hips, festooned with layers upon layers of exquisitely textured fabric, like a blooming rose in full blossom.
Completing the ensemble, Liu Mei wore a fine belt of delicate silk, accentuating the curves of her waist and symbolizing her royal status. Her hair was swept up in an intricate updo, adorned with jeweled hairpins that sparkled with every subtle movement.
Looking at her self in the mirror she was quite satisfied with the face that looked back at her through the glass.
“ Zi , food has been set.“ A maid announced.
Liu Mei who was admiring herself beauty lost interest , she immediately stood up, “ lead the way.“
The maids walked behind Liu Mei whist also directing her to the dine room.
The dining room is small and elegantly decorated in classic Chinese style. The walls are adorned with delicate hand-painted silk scrolls depicting majestic landscapes and vibrant flowers. A soft ambient lighting emanates from traditional lanterns hanging from the ceiling, casting a warm glow across the room.
The centerpiece of the room is a rectangular, polished mahogany dining table, adorned with intricate carvings and surrounded by intricately carved wooden chairs with plush velvet cushions for comfort. The table is set with fine porcelain plates, delicate tea cups, and polished silverware, all meticulously arranged.
On the table, there is a tantalizing spread of Chinese dishes, carefully prepared by the skillful chefs. Plates of steaming hot dumplings, crispy green onion pancakes, succulent Peking duck, and fragrant bowls of steamed rice are just some of the delectable treats awaiting the guests.
In one corner of the room, a traditional Chinese tea set is displayed, with a variety of fragrant teas sourced from different regions of the country. The aroma of these teas lingers in the air, adding to the overall ambiance of the room.
As Liu Mei makes her way into the dining room, the scent of the delicious food and the inviting atmosphere convince her that it is indeed a feast fit for royalty. The maid gestures for her to take a seat, and with anticipation in her eyes, Liu Mei excitedly sits down, ready to indulge in the culinary delights.
“ The commander has arrived.“ The voice of a male servant eachoed the room, Liu Mei who was about to indulge into the food sighed, was this man going to be her second bad luck.
All the servants in the room fell on their knees with their head bow , Liu Mei also knelt on her feet holding her fist together , she bowed , “ qie greets the Lord.“
Wang Cheng walked over helping her stand, “ as Beng gong's Zi , you don't have to be so courteous.“
Liu Mei only nodded , sitting down to indulge into the food.
“ stop!.“ Wang Cheng's voiced roared, he looked at Liu Mei , who is half way to putting a shrimp into her mouth.“ Avoid spicy and salty foods during your menstrual cycle, as they lead to water retention and bloating.“
Liu Mei frowned looking at the wang cheng, this man is indeed her bad news, more over how did he know about a woman's menstrual diet, she put down the shrimp forcing an appreciative smile.“ Qie had forgotten so fast thanks to The Lord,qie would have gotten sick.“
“It is the duty of beng gong to protect Zi.“ Wang Cheng said also smiling brightly at her but his eyes held no emotions, as he looked at the servants by the side the smile on his face dropped completely.
“ in the future, all of you are responsible for beng gong's Zi, do not ever be careless with Zi's health, clear these, get the kitchen to prepare, black chicken soup, pork ribs soup with ginger and dates and red dates and Logan soup.“
“ later you all should go to the department of servant affairs to get your punishment.“
“ yes Master.“ The servants said kowtowing seven times, they were all happy the Commander had not chased them out of the Ming Fu, in the past when a servant that works for The Ming fu are bond to not make mistakes, the slightest mistake had gotten many servant out of the Ming Fu, some female servants that had made advances towards the commander ,had ended up not just outside the Ming Fu, but at the Ji yuan ( brothel).
