First day after marriage
On the roof, Liu Mubai was drinking alone under the moonlight, his thin figure highlighting his loneliness.
Han Yi passed by and sighed, some are happy and some are sad, I am destined to be sleepless tonight.
*
The sunlight shone through the window onto his face, making his cheeks hot and uncomfortable. Liu Zai Xi finally opened his eyes, and what he saw was Qiu Wujie's quiet sleeping face.
Liu Zai Xi couldn't believe that he and Qiu Wu Ji had stayed in this position for an entire night. His waist was already starting to ache slightly.
Looking down, Qiu Wuji was reluctant to let go of his hand, but his waist had been stretched all night and he couldn't move for a while.
Liu Zai Xi gave up struggling and lay quietly on the bed. After looking at the ceiling enough, he turned his head and continued to stare at Qiu Wuji, trying to wake him up.
As he stared at him, he suddenly realized that it would be better if Qiu Wuji was just a specimen, unable to speak, and could serve as a beautiful vase. In that case, Liu Zaixi might consider putting him in front of the store as a mascot.
When I thought about Qiu Wuji being unable to speak and standing at the door of the store for people to watch him, I found it funny and laughed out loud unconsciously. When I came to my senses, Qiu Wuji had already opened his eyes and was staring at Liu Zaixi.
Liu Zaixi's smile froze. He was trying to find a reason to break the awkward situation when Qiu Wuji shamelessly asked, "Are you happy to marry me?"
“…”
Just laugh in your heart and let it go. Why bother with such an idiot?
"I wonder if the prince remembers what he did last night."
Qiu Wuji was stunned for a moment, and gradually recalled the past in his mind. Then he said in a nonsensical way, "I don't remember."
Liu Zaixi felt like teasing someone and surrounded Qiu Wuji: "You really don't remember?"
Qiu Wuji turned his face to the other side, not looking at Liu Zaixi, trying to escape.
"Do you want me to help you recall the past?"
Just as he was about to mention what happened last night, Qiu Wuji covered Liu Zaixi's face with the quilt, just like last night.
"Pack up and follow me into the palace."
Qiu Wuji hid his blushing ears and smiled slightly as he looked at Liu Zaixi, who was frantically shaking in the bed due to the quilt.
Liu Zai Xi got dressed and while waiting for Qiu Wu Ji, he took the opportunity to go see Xiao Zhu.
I always feel that the maids in the palace are extraordinary, like hidden masters. This was Liu Zai Xi's first feeling. When he went to see Xiao Zhu, Xiao Zhu was chatting with the maids in the palace. When they saw Liu Zai Xi, they all stood up and saluted.
"Princess." The neatly dressed princess made Liu Zai Xi straighten his back. Why did she put on such airs? Liu Zai Xi despised himself.
Then Xiaozhu and a group of maids were seen covering their mouths and laughing.
Liu Zaixi pulled a face, expressionless: "What are you laughing at?"
"Miss, no, Princess, the prince seemed very happy last night." Xiao Zhu said with excitement and gossip.
Liu Zai Xi finally understood that these inexperienced little girls were discussing her and Qiu Wuji here.
In fact, Liu Zai Xi had never even held a man's hand in her life, but she spoke as if she was a veteran.
"How's the injury?"
"It's much better now. It's starting to scab over."
“So fast.”
"Because the prince gave me the best medicine."
Xiao Zhu looked at Liu Zai Xi and smiled blankly.
Liu Zaixi gently nodded her head: "Silly girl, what are you laughing at?"
"I always feel that the prince is someone worthy of trust. Even if Xiaozhu is gone one day, there is still the prince who can protect the princess."
The atmosphere was filled with sadness. Liu Zaixi was very disappointed: "Have you been brainwashed by him? How can you support him?"
"hey-hey."
Xiao Zhu looked behind Liu Zai Xi, and Liu Zai Xi looked back in the direction of his gaze, and saw Qiu Wu Ji.
Qiu Wuji was dressed neatly, his moon-white robe made him look tall and slender, giving him a bit of the air of a fairy under the moon.
The detail is that the two people's clothes are the same color and similar style, basically they look like couple outfits.
Liu Zai Xi was speechless. She suspected Qiu Wu Ji did it on purpose.
In fact, there is no doubt that the expression on Qiu Wuji's face says: I did it on purpose.
Liu Zaixi resisted the urge to beat Qiu Wuji and got on the carriage. Before getting on, Liu Zaixi looked back and said, "Why haven't I seen my brother this morning?"
Qiu Wuji helped Liu Zaixi get on the carriage and said perfunctorily, "You must have gone somewhere to play."
Liu Zaixi twisted his face and said, "Do you know that this sentence is particularly strange when used on Xiaobai?"
"oh."
Qiu Wuji didn't want to mention Liu Mubai intentionally or unintentionally, and Liu Zaixi didn't notice.
In the carriage, there was silence, and Qiu Wuji was fidgeting as if he had fleas. Liu Zaixi was swaying back and forth, and Qiu Wuji just closed his eyes and dozed off.
"Hey, didn't you sleep soundly last night? Why are you pretending to be asleep?"
Qiu Wuji opened his eyes, looked at Liu Zaixi helplessly and said, "Are you a three-year-old child? You can't sit still for such a short time."
Liu Zaixi couldn't tell whether these words were an insult to her, but they were definitely not nice.
"Haha, compared to me, what someone did last night was more like that of a three-year-old kid~"
Qiu Wuji wanted to say something but stopped herself. There was nothing she could refute, so she could only quietly stay away from Liu Zaixi. However, Liu Zaixi liked to argue with him, and the more he deliberately stayed away from her, the more she would stick to him.
Every time Qiu Wuji sat a step further away, she would move a step, and they would dance a funny dance together until there was no way to retreat. The two of them were close to each other, and Liu Zaixi deliberately squeezed Qiu Wuji. Qiu Wuji was not angry, but felt a little happy instead.
Han Yi was driving the carriage and could hear everything that was happening in the carriage clearly. He said he didn't dare to speak.
They squeezed their way to the palace. Before getting off the car, Qiu Wuji told Liu Zaixi, "You'd better act convincingly. I told my father that we are in love."
Liu Zaixi tutted, "Who are you looking down on? It's just acting, right, husband?"
With the call of "husband", electricity spread throughout my body, from head to toe, making me feel light and fluttery.
Qiu Wuji coughed softly, took Liu Zaixi's hand and slowly walked forward.
They met many people along the way, and the palace maids and eunuchs all looked carefully, trying to catch a glimpse of the legendary Princess Heng.
Liu Zaixi tilted his head and said, "I always feel like there are a hundred pairs of eyes staring at me."
Qiu Wuji straightened Liu Zaixi's head and said, "More than that."
The two walked slowly, and the road to Taiqing Palace seemed very long.
In fact, Qiu Wuji took Liu Zaixi on a long detour, and Hanyi couldn't bear to watch it anymore. She really didn't understand the prince's actions.
It was Liu Zai Xi's first time in the palace and she knew nothing, so she was led by Qiu Wuji.
It can be considered as showing off, no, I have walked far enough before finally arriving at Taiqing Palace.
Qiu Sheng had been waiting for a long time. By his side was still Concubine Hui Jiang Zhiyi, who remained the same wherever she went. However, what was unexpected was that Jin Manyue was also there.
Liu Zaixi accidentally met Jin Manyue's gaze, and that look seemed to want to pull out her tendons and skin her alive.
Qiu Sheng didn't make things difficult for Liu Zai Xi, but Liu Zai Xi was not afraid of Qiu Sheng, and even wanted to do something big. Anyway, Qiu Wuji said that he could do whatever he wanted, and he would cover it if anything went wrong. This sentence gave Liu Zai Xi great confidence.
Qiu Sheng said, "Since you're here, have a meal before you leave."
Qiu Wuji finally gave Jin Manyue a look: "She wants to come too"
Liu Zai Xi had a feeling that he would have a show to watch.
Qiu Sheng actually explained in a good-tempered manner: "Since Man Yue has come to see Concubine Hui, then let's stay together."
"Empress Hui has a very good relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion." Qiu Wuji said.
Jiang Zhiyi just smiled tactfully.
This meal was destined to be extraordinary. Liu Zaixi felt the heat spreading throughout her body, and her pores opened up. She became excited.
Everyone took their seats. Jin Manyue's position was very clever, right next to Qiu Wuji. Qiu Wuji was flanked by women, so on the surface there didn't seem to be any problem.
Liu Zai Xi narrowed his eyes slightly and observed Jin Manyue's every move. Jin Manyue noticed it and just looked at him with a provocative look.
Things are starting to get dangerous. Liu Zai Xi laughed in her heart. Even if she and Qiu Wuji were just acting, Qiu Wuji was hers now and no one else could covet him.
This dinner party was more dangerous than any social gathering for office workers, Liu Zai Xi smelled it.
However, looking at the light dishes on the table, Liu Zai Xi really had no appetite. At this time, Jin Manyue started to pick up food for Qiu Wuji, pretending to be ambiguous.
Liu Zai Xi said in his heart: Little guy, how dare you play tricks on your Aunt Liu? How many years have you lived?
Liu Zaixi picked up his bowl and exchanged it with Qiu Wuji's. Qiu Sheng noticed and asked, "What is this?"
Liu Zaixi blushed. "My prince is a germaphobe. He won't touch anything on other people's chopsticks except what I pick up."
Both Qiu Sheng and Qiu Wu Ji seemed to be lost in thought.
Kim Manyue was extremely embarrassed by this fake affection show, and was practically saying, "You are too dirty, I can't eat you."
Qiu Sheng acted like a father for once, and asked his new daughter-in-law, "Xi'er, right? Why don't you eat a few bites?"
Liu Zaixi simply asked for something: "I like spicy food, and these dishes are indeed too bland, but they are still delicious."
When he heard about eating spicy food, Qiu Sheng's thoughts drifted far away. Liu Zai Xi didn't know that spicy food had been banned in the palace a long time ago, but it was only because Qiu Wuji's mother liked it. Everyone thought that Qiu Sheng did so because he hated that person too much.
Qiu Wuji accidentally grabbed Liu Zaixi's hand. He knew that Qiu Sheng was probably going to be angry again.
But it didn't happen. Qiu Sheng just looked at the smiling Liu Zai Xi and stared at him for a long time, as if he was looking at another person through his body.
"Since there's nothing Xi'er likes, I'll ask the imperial kitchen to prepare something new."
Jiang Zhiyi saw how attentive Qiu Sheng was to Liu Zaixi and clenched his fists. Jin Manyue was also filled with jealousy.
"No thanks, Father. Can I cook for you myself?"
"I'm afraid this is against the rules."
Liu Zaixi smiled and said, "It's not really rude to cook for your family and loved ones, right, Father?"
Qiu Sheng had nothing to say so he could only nod and have someone take Liu Zaixi to the imperial kitchen.
As soon as Liu Zai Xi walked out of the palace gate, she let out a long sigh. Eating a meal was like being in a spy movie. She was so nervous. But the emperor was not as difficult as she had imagined. He was just an ordinary father.
