Chapter 5: Princess Huazhu, your face is red
Jiang Yueying could hardly control her expression, her chest heaving as she stared straight at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who came in through the window.
The dim candlelight cast a warm halo on him, making his cynical face look a little softer. Behind him was the bright moonlight outside the window. He stood by the window against the light, his inky black hair emitting a crystal silver glow.
As if drenched in moonlight.
Xie Yuting was not annoyed at being locked outside. He brushed off the dust that had accidentally gotten on his body, strode to sit down at the table, filled the two cups of wine, and was about to speak when he was suddenly stunned.
"Did you lift your veil yourself?"
The red veil with a gold-threaded mandarin duck pattern was thrown in the corner, revealing Jiang Yueying's pretty face without a trace of obstruction. Under the light, her fair skin, dark and shiny eyes were revealed, and there was a cinnabar-colored flower ornament on her brow.
It's very touching.
Jiang Yueying couldn't believe it. How could this guy act like nothing happened?
"Are you sick? Didn't you hear me telling you not to come in?"
Xie Yuting sat with his chin propped up, smiling: "Your Highness is so heartless. How can you kick your husband out on his wedding night? If the news leaks out accidentally, how can I have any dignity in Kyoto in the future? What will happen to my reputation?"
You don't have a good reputation.
Jiang Yueying complained in her heart, Xie Yuting wouldn't think that he has a good reputation in Kyoto, right?
Everyone knows that Liang State's Crown Prince Xie Yuting is uneducated, dissolute and bad, and his bad reputation has spread from Northern Liang to Southern Jiang. This guy is so shameless that he still cares about his own dignity and is not afraid of being laughed at if others say it out.
She raised her voice and said fiercely: "You have no dignity at all! Everyone knows your character!"
After he finished speaking, he stomped his feet hard.
After saying that, I couldn't help but praise myself, saying, "That's awesome, that's fierce."
"You are a princess of a country, and yet you speak so rudely," Xie Yuting shook her head repeatedly, "Can't you say a few nice words on your wedding night?"
Jiang Yueying ignored him with a stern face.
The more you pay attention to this kind of person, the more excited he becomes.
Xie Yuting stood up and handed her a glass of wine: "Even if you don't lift the veil, you still have to drink the wedding wine. Take it."
Jiang Yueying didn't answer.
The wine glass was forced into her hand, and Jiang Yueying glared at him: "I don't want to drink, get out!"
Xie Yuting still looked fearless and nonchalant. "Do you think I want to sleep with you? If I leave this room today, those old fools will report me tomorrow for neglecting Princess Jiang. Then my mother will catch me and bring me to the harem to complain about me. Can you go in my place?"
I see.
Jiang Yueying understood that this coward was afraid that he would be scolded by the Queen if he didn't return to the bridal chamber today, so he would rather climb through the window to come in.
What's wrong with this guy who doesn't know how to appreciate what he has, being scolded by his own mother?
Now that things have come to this, I might as well make things clear with Xie Yuting.
Jiang Yueying grabbed the wine glass and drank it directly. When she was in the cold palace, she had to draw water from the well to drink. This was the first time she drank alcohol in her life, and she didn't expect it to be so spicy.
My throat felt like it was covered with ice.
But the real Princess Anyi had a great alcohol tolerance. Jiang Yueying endured the spicy discomfort in her throat and pretended to be calm while drinking it all.
After drinking, Jiang Yueying threw the empty wine glass on the table with a bang, her movements were graceful and neat.
The momentum is quite intimidating.
Xie Yuting, who was standing by, was stunned and didn't say anything for a long time.
Jiang Yueying glanced at him coldly: "Have you ever seen a princess who can drink well?"
Xie Yuting chuckled: "Princess, do you know that the wedding wine must be drunk by two people holding each other's arms?"
"You drank it all in one gulp, so generously, are you planning to compete with me in drinking or become sworn brothers?"
A silent silence spread quickly.
Jiang Yueying suddenly felt her face getting hot.
"I just want to drink like this, what does it have to do with you?"
Xie Yuting stared at her face intently, his gaze was so direct and naked, as if he wanted to burn a hole in it. Jiang Yueying felt uncomfortable all over and glared at him fiercely.
In fact, there was a small wet spot on her back, and she was so nervous that her body was stiff, fearing that the other party would become suspicious of her.
The two of them were in a stalemate for a moment. Xie Yuting was the first to look away and said leisurely: "After drinking the wedding wine, let's go straight to the bridal chamber." His tone was indifferent, as if he was talking about a trivial matter like eating and drinking water.
Jiang Yueying's hair stood on end. Was this guy really planning to consummate his marriage with her?
"Oh, I didn't expect that you, Xie Yuting, would be so cowardly. You clearly hate me, but you forced yourself to consummate the marriage in order to avoid being scolded by the Queen. I have never seen such a spineless prince like you!" Jiang Yueying used provocation and deliberately mocked others.
Xie Yuting touched his chin, his mouth drooping, and he approached with an aggrieved look: "Yes, Princess, please have pity on me and obey me."
His tall figure blocked the candlelight behind him. Xie Yuting curved his affectionate peach blossom eyes and stared at Jiang Yueying without blinking. He had a handsome and elegant face, which was even more impeccable when seen up close.
Jiang Yueying smelled the faint green scent of ginkgo on the other person.
Too close.
Jiang Yueying subconsciously wanted to step back, but just as she moved her heels back a little, she suddenly remembered that she couldn't show her weakness, so she straightened her back, raised her chin and put on an arrogant attitude.
She tilted her neck and said in an unhappy tone: "Aren't you quite capable? How dare you be afraid of someone?"
"Not really," Xie Yuting smiled, "Although I'm afraid of my mother's nagging, I won't obey her every word."
Jiang Yueying thought she had found a turning point and asked with a stern face: "Then why do you insist on having a wedding night?"
"Because the princess is as beautiful as a fairy, and I won't suffer any loss."
Xie Yuting blocked her way and smiled meaningfully.
Oh no.
Jiang Yueying's heart skipped a beat. She almost forgot that Xie Yuting was a bastard who hung out in brothels all day long. How could he let her go so easily?
Jiang Yueying was not a proud person, but she knew that she had a good appearance. She was almost exactly the same as her twin sister. Princess Anyi was notorious in Jiang State, but no one had ever called her ugly.
People would only secretly say that Princess Anyi had wasted her beautiful face and had a heart as vicious as a snake, which was a pity.
So Xie Yuting fell in love with her face?
It's terrible.
Jiang Yueying had a headache, but she couldn't really kick Xie Yuting out of the door, otherwise it would reveal that she didn't know how to use a whip at all... What should she do?
"Princess, do you feel hot?"
"What?" Jiang Yueying's expression was stern.
"To tell you the truth, I put something in that glass of wine," Xie Yuting admitted generously, proudly saying, "It's a top-secret love potion from the palace. One drop can make a person feel weak and irritated, and then they will let anyone do whatever they want."
"I prepared this specially for the princess. Do you like it?"
After the other party finished speaking, Jiang Yueying's ears buzzed. She couldn't believe what she heard. This time she was really angry and wanted to slap the other person.
Bastard, he actually drugged her!
"You're so brave!"
Jiang Yueying glared at him as he approached her again. She had no choice but to take a half step back. Her back hit a blackout bead curtain in front of the bed. The curtain made a crisp sound as it collided with the other party, and each bead seemed to disturb her heart.
what to do.
She felt her limbs go weak and her breathing became more rapid.
Xie Yuting stretched out his hand towards her slowly. Jiang Yueying immediately turned her head. His slender hands passed directly past her ears and did not fall on her. Instead, he touched the bead curtain next to her. He twisted the crystal clear and smooth beads with his fingertips, as if teasing his prey.
The air became increasingly tense.
He is too difficult to deal with. Jiang Yueying found that Xie Yuting's actions could not be predicted according to common sense, because this guy always takes people by surprise.
"I won't consummate our marriage with you, so forget it." Jiang Yueying steadied her weak legs and feet and continued to utter harsh words.
Xie Yuting suddenly lowered his head, his hot breath lingering at a distance that was neither far nor near.
At this moment, any slight sound will be particularly obvious.
Jiang Yueying was almost suffocating.
My heart was beating uncontrollably and a thin layer of sticky sweat appeared on my palms.
Xie Yuting leaned against her cheek, his voice hooked: "How can we waste such a beautiful scenery?"
"How dare you touch me..." Jiang Yueying gritted her teeth, "I will kill you tomorrow when I recover."
"Oh, I'm so scared."
Xie Yuting's eyes curled up slightly, and his voice was filled with a strong smile, without any seriousness at all.
Jiang Yueying was so angry that her steps became unsteady and she was showing signs of being unable to stand steadily. Her body felt hot and her head felt a little dizzy.
Wouldn't the drug she gave her render her unconscious? Then she wouldn't even be able to resist...
"You are shameless." She couldn't help but curse again.
Xie Yuting kept saying "thank you" and stretched out his arm towards her. Jiang Yueying didn't have time to think, and slipped out from the gap when he raised his hand, and ran to the door with her long skirt dragging in the speed of trying to cover her ears and steal the bell.
The bright red wedding dress fluttered in the air like a burning flame, and the fleeing bride pulled out the bronze bolt with force, trying to run out of the room.
No matter what, regaining consciousness was the most important thing. I heard that the secret medicine in the palace was very powerful. Who knew if the medicine Xie Yuting gave her would cause her to do something embarrassing? If her identity was accidentally discovered, that would be the worst...
She dropped the latch and pulled the handle—
No matter how hard she tried, the nanmu door didn't budge at all.
What's going on? Even if I was drugged, I shouldn't be unable to open the door.
She turned her head in surprise and met Xie Yuting's leisurely gaze. He produced a gold-sprinkled folding fan from nowhere and waved it while smiling: "I forgot to tell you, Princess, that I locked the door from the outside."
Jiang Yueying's eyes widened, as if the sky was falling.
This guy is so despicable!
He actually blocked her escape route.
There was no way to escape, Xie Yuting approached step by step with a smile. Jiang Yueying felt weak all over, as if her feet had taken root, unable to move.
With her back leaning against the nanmu door panel, the wicked prince in front of her deliberately moved closer, so close that their breathing was entangled, and the warm breath lingered.
Jiang Yueying couldn't help blinking, her eyelids were burning, and her pretty little face turned from white to pink, and gradually turned into red agate.
The air became hard to breathe.
Xie Yuting looked at her face, put his thin lips against her ear, and breathed ambiguously: "Little princess, your face is blushing."
Jiang Yueying was so angry that she pushed him hard and cursed loudly: "It's all because of you, a bastard, that I drugged you. I will never forgive you!"
The room suddenly became quiet. After a moment, Xie Yuting tilted his head slightly, his peach blossom eyes filled with a smug smile, which grew from a chuckle to a loud laugh, and it seemed to be getting more and more intense.
Jiang Yueying felt puzzled. Could Xie Yuting really be sick?
After a while, Xie Yuting closed his folding fan and raised his eyebrows: "I lied to you, I didn't drug her. After all, I am the crown prince. How could I drug a princess from another country on my wedding night?"
He took another half step closer and looked directly into Jiang Yueying's eyes: "However, the princess's reaction is really interesting."
