The next day, when Shen Jiaojiao woke up, she was met with a smiling face. Her mind was still a bit hazy, and she thought: This person is quite good-looking!
"Awake?" Chu Tianling asked softly.
Shen Jiaojiao gave a soft "Mmm," so cute!
Chu Tianling thought that after another day of rest, his body was indeed much better. He felt that he no longer needed to use a wheelchair today. She really was his medicine.
Yesterday he subtly and blatantly displayed his wealth, which should make Jiaojiao like him a little more!
The old steward still hasn't gained the Crown Prince's attention today. It should be said that there's only one person he can pay attention to now: the Crown Princess.
Chu Tianling used chopsticks to pick up a flower cake and fed it to Shen Jiaojiao's mouth. Shen Jiaojiao calmly took a bite. Seeing this interaction, the butler pretended to be calm. He thought, if this is how it is now, will there be fewer scenes like this in the future?
A qualified housekeeper should remain calm under pressure!
The butler was moved to tears as he watched the two of them stand up hand in hand and walk out.
His Highness the Crown Prince stood up. It's only been two days since the wedding! No, this must be told to the Empress immediately! *So touching*
Sure enough, soon an official from the palace came to announce that the two of them were to enter the palace.
The Crown Prince's residence is actually right next to the palace, but because it covers a large area, it's impossible to walk there.
The Empress specially sent a sedan chair to pick up the two of them.
Chu Tianling remained quite calm, as his father and mother had treated him very well before he collapsed.
Moreover, if it weren't for his mother's insistence, he would never have met Jiaojiao. He calmly sat down, holding Jiaojiao's hand.
Shen Jiaojiao felt a little flustered, as this was the first time she was going to meet the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty!
At this moment, a group of people sat anxiously waiting in the Empress's Kunning Palace.
"His Highness the Crown Prince and his consort have entered the palace!" a palace servant announced at the entrance.
Soon, two figures appeared before everyone's eyes.
Everyone is quite familiar with His Highness the Crown Prince. This is the first time he has appeared in front of the public since his illness. When he was sick earlier, he saw a person lying in bed, having difficulty breathing, looking like he was about to die.
Looking at him now, he is full of energy and spirit. Chu Tianling was already 1.9 meters tall with a well-proportioned figure, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. Now, nourished by love, he is like a modern-day Pan An.
Chu Tianling held Shen Jiaojiao's hand the whole way, only letting go upon arriving at the palace to bow and say, "Your subject, along with the Crown Princess, pays respects to Father and Mother! May Father and Mother enjoy boundless blessings and peace!"
Shen Jiaojiao bowed beside her, neither arrogant nor impatient.
Emperor Chu Tianba, the current emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, is exactly forty years old. He has a thick beard and wears a bright yellow dragon robe. He is tall and his beard makes him look particularly wild.
Zhuang Mei looked petite and delicate sitting next to him.
Seeing his beloved child stand up again, Chu Tianba burst into laughter, his loud voice like a great bell, deafening.
"Hahaha! Get up quickly! Your father is very happy that you are getting better!"
Looking at Shen Jiaojiao standing to the side, he said to her, "Is the lady next to you the Crown Princess? I remember her name is Shen Jiaojiao. I know your father. We fought together before. They raised you very well!"
Shen Jiaojiao bowed gracefully to the Emperor and said loudly, "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty."
"Hey! Why are you calling me Emperor? Call me Father! You've married into the royal family, so we're all family now. If you have any difficulties, just ask!" The Emperor shouted before Shen Jiaojiao could finish speaking.
Shen Jiaojiao hadn't expected the Emperor to be such a bold and unrestrained man, somewhat like the burly Northeastern men she used to see on TV. She calmly corrected herself, "Yes, Father, I understand."
"Greetings, Your Highness the Imperial Concubine; greetings, Second Imperial Brother." Chu Tianling bowed to the two people sitting to the side. Shen Jiaojiao, who had never seen them before, followed Chu Tianling in bowing.
"We're family, no need to be so formal, get up!"
The Imperial Concubine looked at the two of them with a smile, as if she was particularly happy. Shen Jiaojiao glanced at her but didn't pay much attention. Her smile was too fake, and she didn't like it.
Chu Tianyang, standing to the side, looked at Shen Jiaojiao with a teasing expression.
I never would have guessed she'd be acting so virtuous and gentle now!
snort!
He remembered it clearly; he had given Wang Haotian a good beating that day. He was definitely not some gentle kitten.
Poor imperial brother, he married this shrew. Who knows how badly his small body will be beaten in secret? Poor thing.
In the future, I must find a gentle and kind girl; I absolutely cannot find someone like this.
Chu Tianling felt Chu Tianyang's gaze and then remembered that his second brother had stood in for him during the wedding procession. He looked at her so closely; did he like his beloved Jiaojiao?
My darling is so beautiful, it's normal for someone to like her, but why was he the one who went to the wedding, which was such an important event?
Isn't he handsome riding a tall horse? He's the first person Jiaojiao sees. Will she like him too?
We didn't even go through the wedding ceremony that day. Will Jiaojiao be unhappy? Will he leave me?
Chu Tianling couldn't hear anything else; his mind was filled with the terrifying thought that Shen Jiaojiao might not like him.
Shen Jiaojiao watched helplessly as thick black mist suddenly erupted from his body.
Oh no, what's this guy thinking of now?
Suddenly, the black mist, as if it were a tangible substance, drifted over and instantly enveloped Chu Tianyang.
Shen Jiaojiao's eyes widened; this was the first time she had ever seen the black mist act like this!
Chu Tianyang couldn't see the black mist, but he suddenly felt very cold, as if a chill was penetrating his body.
When everyone saw Shen Jiaojiao staring at the Second Prince, they all turned to look at him, and what they saw made a big difference.
