Chapter 141 Wedding Night

Seeing Huo Zheng like this, Chunzhi couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips slightly, "It hasn't been long."

She was busy every day preparing for her marriage and making various preparations. She had just reunited with her parents and brothers, and she had Yuzhu and Song Wan'er by her side. She also had to take care of Xiaoxinghui, so every day was very fulfilling.

The month or so since we moved back to the Mu Mansion from the Song Residence passed by in the blink of an eye.

Although she hadn't been able to see Huo Zheng these days, the things sent from the Chang'an Palace never stopped every day.

As long as their hearts are together, she feels as if they have never been apart.

But Huo Zheng obviously didn't think so.

"One and a half months, a full forty-five days." Huo Zheng stared at Chunzhi. "They say when love is deep, a day apart feels like three years. Can you calculate how many years have passed between you and me?"

"Alright." Chunzhi raised her hand and touched Huo Zheng's face. "Father and Mother are here, and there are so many guests waiting for you to entertain them outside. If you have anything to say, you should wait until you get back."

Huo Zheng held Chunzhi's hand and gently rubbed his chin against her palm, "Then wait for me to come back."

Chunzhi said "hmm", "You go quickly."

"Then I'll go." Huo Zheng walked away, looking back every few steps.

Chunzhi watched him open the door of the bridal chamber, instruct the maid to take good care of the princess, and then take away all the people outside the door who were clamoring to make trouble in the bridal chamber.

It was a little quiet outside the door, with only the faint sounds of joy and laughter coming from the hall.

Chunzhi sat in the red silk tent and raised her hand to touch her hot face.

A moment later, the maids pushed the door open and came in, bowing respectfully and asking, "Princess, would you like to wash and change your clothes?"

The phoenix crown on Chunzhi's head made her neck ache. She thought that Huo Zheng had seen her dressed as a bride just now, so she said softly, "Please take off my hairpins and rings for me, and then wash and change my clothes."

"Yes." The maids responded respectfully, then stepped forward to help Chunzhi stand up and walk to the bronze mirror to sit down.

The skillful maid gently took off the phoenix crown on Chunzhi's head, and then took off her hairpins and rings one by one.

Chunzhi raised her hand and pressed the back of her neck, and immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

After a while, she took off her elaborate and gorgeous wedding dress and changed into red silk nightgown.

The maid brought hot water to help her wash.

Chunzhi washed off her makeup, felt relaxed, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

A moment later, the maids brought in a table of food and said with a smile, "This is all ordered by the prince. The princess must not be left hungry."

Chunzhi felt inexplicably hot on her face when she saw them smiling.

A bride has to get up early in the morning to dress up and follow all the rules and procedures, so she has no time to eat.

Song Wan'er and Yuzhu did pass her some pastries, but Chunzhi didn't have much interest in it at that time.

Now that I've relaxed, I realize I'm hungry.

The maids served Chunzhi food. Chunzhi ate a little of each dish. When she was full, she asked them to clear away the bowls and chopsticks. Then she ordered, "Prepare some hangover soup."

Huo Zheng will definitely drink tonight.

Prepare the hangover soup early so he can drink it when he comes back.

"Yes." The maids responded and retreated.

Harue walked to the window and called out, "Aoba."

Qingye came out of the side room, came to the window and whispered to her, "The little master has already had his feeding and just fell asleep."

Chunzhi nodded and said, "Xiaoxing will be back tonight, so I'll have to trouble you and the wet nurse."

Qingye smiled and said, "It's not hard. The young master is very well behaved. I love him so much."

Chunzhi whispered a few more words to Qingye and asked her to go back to the side room to take care of Xiaoxing.

The banquet in the front hall was in full swing, with constant laughter.

Chunzhi stood by the window for a while, enjoying the breeze, then returned to the couch and sat down.

A large pile of dowry lists was piled on the table in front of the couch.

When she had nothing to do, she started looking at the dowry list.

The dowry that the Mu family prepared for her contained all the necessary items for a daughter's wedding. The dowry list was very long and she couldn't finish reading it even after a long time.

Just looking at the dowry list, the one Song Anlan prepared for her was more than twice as thick as the Mu family's.

The list is full of rare treasures.

Chunzhi's eyes were dazzled by what she saw, and she had to close the dowry list and take a break.

All the dowries were carried into the palace storehouse. The 20,000 taels of silver that Madam Mu gave her as a dowry was placed separately. Together with the 100,000 taels that Song Anlan added, the total was 120,000 taels.

Chunzhi had never seen so much silver before. She opened the box containing the banknotes, took out a thick stack of banknotes and sat on the bed to count them.

One hundred taels of silver notes each, one hundred and twenty thousand taels, is twelve hundred pieces.

Chunzhi could only pick up a small stack at a time and then count them one by one.

She counted back and forth several times, and became happier and happier the more she counted.

When Huo Zheng came back, he saw her counting banknotes and laughing.

He liked Chunzhi's carefree smile. He slowly walked to the bed, held Chunzhi's face and kissed her on the forehead.

Chunzhi was still immersed in the joy of counting money. She looked up at Huo Zheng and said with a smile, "You're back."

Huo Zheng said "hmm" and sat down next to Chunzhi. "You continue counting."

"I won't count anymore." Chunzhi put all the banknotes back into the box, then pushed the box to the side of the bed. "Is the wedding banquet over? Have all the guests left? How much wine did you drink..."

Huo Zheng didn't look very drunk, but his eyes were deeper than usual. At this moment, under the candlelight and in the red silk tent, her appearance was reflected in his eyes, as if he wanted to devour her.

Chunzhi stood up and said, "I've prepared some hangover soup for you in the kitchen. I'll have someone bring it to you now..."

Before she could stand firmly, Huo Zheng grabbed her and she fell on his lap.

Huo Zheng said: "I'm not drunk."

Seeing him like this, Chunzhi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Drunk people always say they are not drunk."

Huo Zheng smiled.

He got married at the age of 25. Those royal children usually had no chance to drink with him, but tonight they all came up to him and forced him to drink.

Being a groom is no different from any other time, you have to drink a few glasses no matter what.

Even though Gu Yuanjia and the others helped block a lot of the wine, Huo Zheng still drank quite a bit.

He just wanted to get back to his room as soon as possible, but he was kept at bay by the crowd until midnight.

I originally thought that Chunzhi had waited too long and had fallen asleep.

I never thought that she was counting money with great interest.

Huo Zheng, a little drunk, held Chunzhi in his arms and bent down to kiss her.

Harue raised her head and responded to the kiss.

The candles in the bridal chamber were burning brightly, and the newlyweds were like mandarin ducks embracing each other.

The intertwined figures are reflected on the red silk tent, inseparable.

As they kissed, Huo Zheng laid Chunzhi down on the bed and untied her clothes...

As the candlelight flickered, Chunzhi also untied his belt.

The clothes of the two people fell one by one beside the couch, and their wedding gowns and pajamas were overlapped together.

The two people's hair intertwined silently, and the red gauze curtain fell down.

Huo Zheng called out "Chunzhi" softly, turning all his longing for her, which he had not expressed for many days, into action. He conquered Chunzhi bit by bit, making her indulge in it...
