The next morning, as soon as Jiang Shuyue opened her eyes, she saw a handsome face staring intently at her.
Recalling the passionate moments they shared last night, Jiang Shuyue's face flushed crimson.
"Moon".
"A Zhao."
The two exclaimed softly almost simultaneously.
Xiao Jingzhao saw that the person in his arms looked shy and hesitant, as if he had something to say.
"Is Yue Niang feeling unwell somewhere?" Xiao Jingzhao asked, his large hand slowly exploring down her fragrant shoulder.
Finally, it rested on her slender, boneless waist.
That hand seemed to possess magic; its gentle touch caused her body to tremble slightly, and a strange pleasure welled up within her.
Jiang Shuyue couldn't help but grit her teeth inwardly. How could this damned body be so uncontrollable? Last night, she let him do whatever he wanted, and now her whole body was still sore and weak.
Recalling how perfectly her body had cooperated with his last night, she blushed and said, "The nuptial wine we drank last night tasted a little strange."
"Perhaps it's aged wine, so it's a bit stronger, but we only had a few glasses, so it's nothing serious."
A pair of large hands caressed his waist, and the pleasant sensation relieved some of the soreness.
They had only drunk one cup of nuptial wine before, but last night, the two went into the bathroom for the third time. When they came out, they found that the palace maid had brought in exquisite dishes while they were bathing.
There were also two bowls of "Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup".
The newlyweds hadn't eaten much to begin with, so Xiao Jingzhao wrapped them in a bath towel, held them in his arms, and fed them a bowl of nourishing soup and some dishes.
The two drank several glasses of wine from the same glass. Jiang Shuyue slumped in his arms, in a daze, and didn't even remember how many glasses of wine she had been fed.
However, something puzzled her: after the two of them washed up and returned to their tent, she felt completely revitalized.
Could it be the effect of that bowl of nourishing soup?
Sensing the large hand becoming restless, Jiang Shuyue breathlessly and weakly refused, "Ah Zhao, stop fooling around, we still have to go and serve tea to our elders."
Looking at her flushed cheeks, Xiao Jingzhao lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips. "Father and Mother are not old-fashioned people. It's still early. We can get some rest before we get up."
The warm breath tickled her ear, and the brocade quilt slipped off her body, revealing a strong chest covering her.
Jiang Shuyue wanted to curse, what kind of rest was this?
When she realized that her arms were wrapped around the other person's strong waist, Jiang Shuyue simply closed her eyes, not caring what day it was.
After an unknown amount of time, the bright red wedding candles in the bridal chamber still shone brightly. Xiao Jingzhao saw that the beauty in his arms was covered in fragrant sweat, so he propped himself up and picked up a bath towel from the pillow to gently wipe her clean.
Feeling the sticky sensation on her chest disappear, Jiang Shuyue felt a sense of comfort and couldn't help but let out a soft hum.
Xiao Jingzhao misunderstood. When the wind and rain stopped, he saw that the beautiful woman had given him a coquettish glare.
Xiao Jingzhao, not understanding why, put his arm around the exhausted woman and massaged her waist again.
"Ah Zhao, didn't the imperial physician tell you that sexual activity should be moderated?"
Jiang Shuyue felt like she was about to fall apart from his antics, so she could only speak tactfully.
Upon hearing this, the person in front of him smiled slightly, his phoenix eyes curving upwards. "I am in good health and need not restrain myself. Besides, Yue'er has been inviting me so often, and I am happy to oblige."
"When should I invite you... um..."
Before Jiang Shuyue could finish speaking, a kiss landed on her lips.
"Ah Zhao, no, um... there are still palace maids serving outside, it's really time to get up."
As soon as Jiang Shuyue twisted her body, she sensed something was wrong with Xiao Jingzhao's body and quickly reminded him.
"Yes, I'll listen to you. We'll continue tonight."
Xiao Jingzhao reluctantly released the person in his arms.
The two of them had used up all the hot water in the bathroom last night. Seeing that Xiao Jingzhao had asked a palace maid to bring water, Jiang Shuyue secretly wondered whether she should tell him about the space.
As husband and wife are one, it would be best to tell him. Jiang Shuyue had made up her mind; she would find another opportunity to tell him about the space.
For the three days leading up to the wedding, the couple had to stay at Kunning Palace. Jiang Shuyue couldn't bear to separate Qiuju and her husband, so she temporarily left her at the Jiang residence.
After Lan'er and Mei'er entered the palace with their dowry, they went directly to the Jiaofang Palace.
Jiang Shuyue didn't recognize any of the palace maids serving in Kunning Palace.
The palace maids attending to the Empress's bath saw her fragrant, jade-like body, her skin as smooth as jade, her figure slender and voluptuous, so beautiful that they dared not look directly at her.
They couldn't help but think to themselves, "No wonder the Emperor sleeps until the sun is high in the sky and doesn't leave his bedchamber."
Seeing the red hickeys on the Empress's neck and chest, she couldn't help but complain that the Emperor didn't know how to cherish women.
After the two washed and dressed, Eunuch Ma and the palace maids brought them breakfast.
Xiao Jingzhao considerately dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs who were serving her, and personally selected several dishes that she liked.
A bowl of bird's nest porridge and several kinds of imperial snacks.
Just as Xiao Jingzhao was putting a crystal shrimp dumpling on her plate, Jiang Shuyue said, "I can't eat this much. Can't you see I've gained weight?"
Xiao Jingzhao looked at her ample bosom, coughed lightly, and said in a serious tone, "Hmm, just right, I like it."
Jiang Shuyue glared at him coquettishly, secretly thinking to herself, "The most terrifying men are the ones who are secretly passionate."
Seeing her expression, Xiao Jingzhao suppressed a laugh and reached out his hand. "Yue'er, women who take contraceptive soup will harm their health. Do you have any contraceptive pills for men?"
The two agreed not to rush into having children, and Jiang Shuyue had already prepared birth control pills.
With a thought, a white porcelain bottle appeared in her palm.
Xiao Jingzhao exclaimed in shock, "Yue'er can telekinesis?"
Jiang Shuyue placed the white porcelain bottle into Xiao Jingzhao's hand. "Just take one pill a day. It's harmless to the body. It's not like you can take things from a distance. I have a secret. We still need to go and offer tea. I'll tell you the details another day."
