Chapter 157 Wedding Candle

Suddenly forced to bump into a hot chest, Lin Qian screamed and looked up to see a pair of burning eyes.

"You, weren't you asleep?" Lin Qian asked.

Wei Xiaoran tightly wrapped his arms around Lin Qian's waist, buried his head in her neck, and gently rubbed his tall nose against hers. He said, "I've been thinking about this wedding night for a long time. Even if I drink too much, I can't sleep."

Lin Qian now feels very unfamiliar. She is a little scared, but she doesn't want to retreat.

Wei Xiaoran noticed Lin Qian's gentleness, his eyes immediately turned red, and his whole heart trembled. The girl he had been dreaming about for so many years was finally going to belong to him. Wei Xiaoran felt that he was the happiest person at this moment.

"Qianqian, baby, I love you!" Wei Xiaoran kept whispering softly in Lin Qian's ear to comfort her.

The bright red tent for celebrating hundreds of children and grandchildren hid the spring scenery. The bright red wedding candles, as thick as a baby's arm, were burning, with crackling sounds from time to time.

The next morning, Lin Qian felt in her dream that she was back to the military training in college, and her whole body was sore.

She tried hard to open her eyes, and all she saw was red. Lin Qian's somewhat slow brain finally realized that she was in ancient times, and last night was her wedding night.

Thinking about it, Lin Qian turned her head and saw the man lying beside her with one arm around her waist.

When she saw Wei Xiaoran, Lin Qian couldn't help but grit her teeth. This man looked like a gentle and modest gentleman on the surface, but he became like a different person when he started eating meat.

Like a hungry wolf, he wouldn't let go once he saw Lin Qian, the piece of meat.

Sensing the burning gaze, Wei Xiaoran also woke up: "You're awake? Why don't you sleep a little longer?" As Wei Xiaoran said this, he lowered his head to kiss Lin Qian's cheek.

Lin Qian was really embarrassed and angry this time. She pushed Wei Xiaoran away forcefully, not letting him get any closer: "You! Get away! I'm not feeling well."

Wei Xiaoran suddenly didn't dare to move. He sat up, touched Lin Qian's cheek, and asked, "Does it hurt? I'll find some ointment for you."

"You're not needed. Let Nanny Song come in." Lin Qian quickly pulled Wei Xiaoran and said, although they had been frank with each other yesterday, it would be better to let other people do things like applying the medicine.

Wei Xiaoran, however, seemed not to have heard. He turned around and lay on the bedside, reached out and touched it twice, then took out a box of ointment and said aggrievedly: "We are husband and wife, can't I apply the medicine for you? Why do you have to rely on others?"

Lin Qian was speechless. She kicked Wei Xiaoran and said angrily, "You're still feeling wronged. It's obviously me who should feel wronged! It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't feel any pain."

Wei Xiaoran blushed. He knew that he had gone too far yesterday and had dragged Lin Qian along to make trouble until midnight.

"I know I was wrong." Wei Xiaoran admitted his mistake immediately. Lin Qian turned over and faced him with her back: "Then I don't want you. I want to take a bath and I want Nanny Song."

"Okay, I'll go call Nanny Song for you." Wei Xiaoran finally gave in. He didn't dare to challenge Lin Qian's bottom line at this time, so he had to get out of bed and call Nanny Song in.

Nanny Song helped Lin Qian into the inner room to take a bath. Lin Qian said she wanted to soak for a while, so she was asked to leave.

Lin Qian didn't like having anyone serving her while she was bathing. Nanny Song, Bai Zhi and Bai Wei all knew this, so Nanny Song didn't think much about it and just went out to guard outside the door.

Seeing that Nanny Song had gone out, Lin Qian, who was soaking in the water, disappeared the next second.

In the space, Lin Qian was soaking in the hot spring and sighed comfortably. The aches all over her body, as if she had strained her muscles, finally slowly disappeared.

She had to pay her respects to Zhang Yufang later, so Lin Qian didn't dare to stay in the space for too long. After staying there for a while, Lin Qian reluctantly left the space, and then Nanny Song came in to help her dress.

Lin Qian was dressed neatly, with her hair tied into a bun, a pair of lotus hairpins inlaid with rubies, two red silk flowers pinned on her back, and a red peony flower jacket. From today on, Lin Qian was already a married woman.

Zhang Yufang was the only elder in the Wei family. Wei Xiaoran took Lin Qian to kowtow to her and greet her. After having breakfast together, Zhang Yufang quickly asked them to go back.

"I don't need any help. Look how tired you are. You even have dark circles under your eyes. Go back and rest." Zhang Yufang really felt sorry for Lin Qian. Seeing how exhausted she looked, she glared at Wei Xiaoran with some dissatisfaction.

Lin Qian's face flushed instantly. She nodded sheepishly, then asked, "Don't we still have to go to the palace to express our gratitude?"

Generally, newlyweds who are granted marriages have to go to the palace to pay their respects the next day. Since Wei Xiaoran is a close minister of the emperor, this is even more necessary.

Wei Xiaoran spoke at this time and said, "Let's go tomorrow."

Lin Qian didn't understand the palace's rules and etiquette, but since Wei Xiaoran said so, she decided to go tomorrow. The young couple talked to Zhang Yufang for a while before returning to their room.

As soon as she got home, Lin Qian fell on the bed and couldn't get up. Then Lin Qian felt the quilt next to her sink a little. She looked up and saw Wei Xiaoran lying next to her, holding his head with one hand and looking at her.

"Why are you lying down too? Don't you have anything to do?" Lin Qian asked.

Wei Xiaoran nodded: "I'm newly married, and the emperor gave me six days of wedding leave." In fact, it was only three days, and after Wei Xiaoran knew about it, he directly asked for half a month.

How could the emperor possibly agree? Wei Xiaoran had to accompany his newlywed wife, and he also had to accompany his pregnant daughter-in-law. In the end, the two of them bargained and each made several concessions, and they agreed to a six-day leave.

Lin Qian nodded and listened to Wei Xiaoran talking. Her eyes gradually became blurred and she fell asleep in a short while. Wei Xiaoran did not disturb her and slept with Lin Qian.

The two of them slept until noon. When Lin Qian woke up, she felt like she was a pillow, being held tightly in someone's arms. Wei Xiaoran's body was very hot, and it felt warm and comfortable, so Lin Qian did not move.

"Master, Madam, it's time to get up. The old lady has already served the meal." Nanny Song's voice sounded outside the door.

Lin Qian was stunned for a while before she realized that they were being called.

Wei Xiaoran also heard it, let go of Lin Qian's waist, and sat up. Both of them looked sleepy.

After looking at each other for a while, they both laughed at the same time.

That night, Wei Xiaoran was considerate of Lin Qian and did not torture her. After a good rest for a day and a night, Lin Qian was almost recovered with the help of the hot spring water.

Early the next morning, the two of them packed up and went to the palace to pay their respects to the emperor and express their gratitude.

As soon as the two entered the palace, they went straight to the Queen's palace. During these times, the Emperor worked and rested here in order to take care of Chen Junqi.
