Chapter 23 If you can’t do it, give your seat to someone who can
She saw the charming and beautiful self in Qi Muchao's eyes, and of course, she did not miss the flash of surprise in his eyes.
"Oh my, the Crown Prince is so stunned by the beauty of our Crown Princess that he can't even blink. Come back to your senses and let's drink the wedding wine first."
Lu Wanning noticed that Qi Muchao seemed to glare at Xiniang, and was afraid that he would turn around and glare at her too, so she quickly suppressed the corners of her grinning mouth.
Clearing his throat, Qi Muchao said, "You are indeed quite pretty today."
"Just today?" Lu Wanning was dissatisfied. She was still very confident about her appearance. Of course, she didn't believe Qi Muchao's nonsense and said, "I think the prince must have had some problems with his eyes a few days ago. I'll help you take a look later."
Qi Muchao sneered and rarely refuted.
After drinking the wedding wine, Qi Muchao was dragged to the front hall by a group of people to drink.
Leaving Lu Wanning alone in the new house.
I don’t know how long it took, but Lu Wanning fell asleep while sitting.
When I woke up again, I was somewhat glad that I had eaten the chestnut cake that Qi Muchao had stuffed into my mouth, otherwise I would have fainted from hunger before the process was halfway through.
After a long time, the door was finally opened again, and Qi Muchao walked in, smelling of alcohol.
The servants were driven out, leaving only two people in the room.
Qi Muchao looked at her hair full of jewels and jade and marveled, "Aren't you tired?"
Lu Wanning looked at him blankly, "You can give it a try, my prince."
She now felt as if her entire head was no longer her own.
She wanted to take it off but was worried that it was against the rules. Finally, when they were the only two left, Lu Wanning took off the jewelry on her head.
When she was dismantling it, Qi Muchao was leaning beside her and watching. She happened to see his drunken eyes falling on her in the bronze mirror, which made her feel inexplicably at a loss.
The more anxious she was, the more confused she became. The tassel on the hairpin was tangled with her hair and couldn't be untangled. She glared at Qi Muzhao angrily and said, "Your Highness, please help me."
Qi Muchao sat up like a lord, "Your Highness? Now that we're married, it's best to change the way we address each other, to avoid being overheard and gossiped about by those with ulterior motives."
The tassel on the hairpin was very heavy, and it hurt her scalp. Lu Wanning said quickly, "I know, I know. Your Highness, please hurry up."
Qi Muchao didn't move.
Lu Wanning looked at him in the bronze mirror, took a deep breath, and said softly, "Husband, please do me a favor."
If an ordinary man heard this gentle voice that seemed to be able to squeeze out water, his bones would probably be broken.
Qi Muzhao nodded with satisfaction and walked over, "Then I will reluctantly help you."
A cup of tea passed, and not only did the hairpin show no sign of being taken off, it became even more closely connected to her hair.
Lu Wanning: “…”
"Husband?" She suppressed her gritted teeth and tried to be gentle, "Can you do it?"
If you can't do it, can you please give your seat to someone who can?
Qi Muchao: "How can such a small matter stump me?"
An incense stick of time passed, and Qi Muchao silently withdrew his hand. Looking at the hairpin that seemed to be unable to be untied from his hair, he slowly said, "Let Hu Yan do it."
Lu Wanning wants to kill someone.
After Hu Yan came in, she quickly took off the hairpin. Lu Wanning felt as if a house had been taken off her head, and her head instantly became light.
Her stomach growled twice, and Lu Wanning looked at Qi Muchao pitifully, "I'm hungry."
Qi Muchao was stunned. "You didn't ask anyone to bring in food?"
Lu Wanning shook her head.
Seeing her expression, Qi Muchao's face turned unhappy. He walked to the door and called for someone to bring some food over. Then he said, "Your two maids don't even know how to serve their master. What's the point of keeping them here? Just break their legs and throw them out of the house so they won't be an eyesore."
"It's not the right time yet."
If she throws these two maids out now, it will be a naked provocation in the eyes of Master Chen.
The servant brought the sweet and sticky lotus seed porridge, and Lu Wanning drank a bowl.
After washing up and getting on the couch, the two of them stared at each other.
Lu Wanning didn't have the idea of keeping her virginity, not to mention that she had already done all these things to Qi Muchao before, so why should she be shy now?
But if Qi Muchao didn't mean that, she naturally wouldn't force him.
It would be better if they could really cooperate in a friendly manner and leave in the future when she has the ability to protect herself.
But lying there like this was inevitably a bit awkward, so Lu Wanning broke the ice first. "That day when they encountered bandits at the foot of Yueshi Mountain, the princess said she went to Baoji Temple to pray for a child on her son's behalf. Doesn't the prince want a child?"
She is testing herself.
Qi Muchao understood.
Over the years, many people wanted to get into his bed, including the maids in the mansion and the beauties sent by his mortal enemies who were eyeing him and hoping for his early death. Without exception, he killed them all.
Now that he has encountered someone who cannot be killed, Qi Muchao is really having a headache.
"I don't know how long I can live, so getting married and having children is not a necessity for me."
Lu Wanning let out a light sigh. It seemed that Qi Muchao didn't take her words that day about being able to help him recuperate seriously at all.
She murmured quietly, "If I'm not a necessity, then why marry me?"
Qi Muchao's ears twitched, and he looked at her with a half-smile, "Don't you know why I want to marry you?"
Even if she guessed that it was because of what happened in Liuyuan that day, Lu Wanning would never admit it.
"How should I know?"
Since she couldn't sleep, she simply pulled Qi Muchao's wrist towards her and took his pulse.
After taking her pulse and just about to speak, Qi Muchao suddenly covered her mouth. Lu Wanning was startled and thought he was going to take revenge at this time. She struggled hard for a few times until Qi Muchao held her down and raised his hand to point out the window.
Only then did she understand. She watched Qi Mu walk forward and blow out the candle, and the room instantly fell into darkness.
She couldn't see Qi Muchao clearly, but Qi Muchao could see her clearly in the darkness.
He became very unrestrained, looking at her pair of bright eyes, she looked out the window helplessly, and then looked at him.
As if she couldn't see clearly, she stretched out her hands and groped around, her voice very low, afraid that the people outside the window would hear clearly, "Where are you?"
Qi Muchao didn't say anything. After a moment, he suddenly came forward and hugged her and fell on the bed. When their breaths overlapped, Qi Muchao stared into her eyes and said, "Scream."
"..." Lu Wanning: "What?"
What are you yelling about? Is she a dog?
Someone suddenly pinched her waist and abdomen. Lu Wanning couldn't resist the itch and dodged backwards with a cry. Qi Muchao pulled her back and said, "Just like this, continue."
I understand.
Lu Wanning was speechless. She was such a beautiful woman lying here, but he had to pretend to be Liu Xiahui. Now he wanted her to act with him to prove his power.
She had originally intended to grit her teeth and refuse to scream, but with a turn of her eyes, she tentatively opened her mouth, "Ah~~~"
