Chapter 178 Paying respects

A good night's sleep.

The next morning, when bright light shone into the room, Yu Zheng woke up first.

Looking sideways at Jiang Shu who was sleeping in his arms, Yu Zheng pursed his lips slightly, feeling very lucky.

His slender fingers gently brushed away the hair on Jiang Shu's face, and Yu Zheng kissed her forehead, as light as a feather.

Jiang Shu was awakened by the itch, and her long eyelashes fluttered as she opened her eyes.

Yu Zheng smiled warmly and asked her, "Did you sleep well?"

Jiang Shu responded in a daze, and when she moved her arm, she was surprised to find that they were both naked, and she didn't know where she had touched just now.

Yu Zheng groaned and teased hoarsely, "It's not possible now, we have to go to the palace to pay respects."

"I'm not, I didn't..." Jiang Shu explained shyly.

Yu Zheng's chest shook slightly, and he laughed happily.

The two of them laughed and kissed each other on the bed for a while, and Yu Zheng shouted loudly to the outside of the house.

Shuanghua, Ruixue, Chuyu and Tanyu entered the house with toiletries, put down the basin and hurried to the cupboard to get clothes for Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu.

When the palace made wedding clothes for Jiang Shu, they also made some casual clothes for her, and a formal dress for the princess, which was sent directly to the palace.

Shuanghua took the clothes and put them on the small table beside the bed, and Chuyu and Tanyu lifted the bed curtain and hung them up.

"Please stand up, my lord and princess." The four of them greeted in unison.

Jiang Shu, who was hiding under the quilt with only her head exposed, thought of the two people who were naked under the quilt, and said shyly: "You go to the outer room and wait first, I will call you after I get dressed."

Not only was she shy, but Yu Zheng was also naked, and they couldn't let him see it.

"Yes." The four responded and retreated to the outer room to wait.

"Get up quickly." Jiang Shu pushed Yu Zheng and urged him to get dressed. With

the warm and soft jade in his arms, Yu Zheng sighed reluctantly, lifted the quilt, stood up, and took the clothes of the two people.

After putting on the inner clothes, Jiang Shu asked Chu Yu and others to come into the room to help her put on the outer clothes and dress up.

After Yu Zheng washed and tied his hair, he left for a while. When he came back, the maid just brought breakfast.

The two had breakfast together and got on the carriage to the palace.

Although she had paid respects to the Emperor and Consort Yu yesterday, she was covered with a veil and could not be seen. Today was the first time Jiang Shu met her parents-in-law, and she felt uneasy.

After all, her past was there and could not be changed or erased.

Yu Zheng saw her uneasiness, held her hand and comforted her gently: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

He knew what Jiang Shu was worried about, but he would not leave her alone to face it.

The carriage stopped at the palace gate, and the two got off and walked into the palace.

The morning court was over, and the emperor sat in Zhongling Palace, frowning and talking privately with Consort Yu, wondering if Jiang Shu had aroused Yu Zheng's mortal heart last night.

Although the marriage was successful, it would be in vain if Yu Zheng did not take actual action.

"Prince, Princess." The palace maid greeted the two.

The emperor and Yu Guifei in the palace heard the noise and hurriedly sat up straight, pretending to be dignified elders.

When meeting a daughter-in-law for the first time, one must leave a good impression, so that one can hold a grandson sooner.

Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu entered the palace and knelt down according to etiquette.

"Your son pays respects to the emperor and mother."

"Get up." Yu Guifei raised her hand.

The palace maid served tea, and Jiang Shu served it to the emperor.

"Father, please have some tea." Jiang Shu said in a serious tone.

"Hmm." The emperor responded solemnly, took the teacup and took a sip.

Jiang Shu moved to Yu Guifei and said respectfully: "Mother, please have some tea."

"Okay." Yu Guifei happily took it, took a sip, put it down, and waved to the palace maid beside her.

"This is my meeting gift for you. Do you like it?"

The maid brought a red tray with a complete set of gold and jade lotus tiaras on it, from head ornaments to bracelets, rings and earrings.

"Thank you, mother. I like it very much." Jiang Shu knew that he could not refuse a gift from an elder, especially since it was his mother-in-law's first meeting gift. He had to accept it.

"Good boy, sit down and talk." Concubine Yu smiled gently.

The two sat aside as she was told.

This was also the first time the emperor and Concubine Yu saw Jiang Shu, and they could not help but look at her carefully.

Jiang Shu was bright and dignified. She was dressed in a gorgeous purple princess dress, with her hair tied up high and a ruby ​​and pearl crown on her head. She folded her hands in front of her, sat upright, and was respectful and polite.

Concubine Yu Gui looked very satisfied and invited the two to have lunch together.

Jiang Shu respectfully agreed and quietly looked at the emperor and Concubine Yu Gui.

The emperor was over fifty years old, with a ruddy complexion and handsome features. He was dignified and majestic in a bright yellow dragon robe. Concubine

Yu Gui, who was sitting next to him, was also nearly fifty years old, but she looked so well that her age was not obvious.

On her pretty oval face, beautiful eyes and a charming smile, she was a gentle and soft beauty.

No wonder Yu Lan and Yu Zheng both have such good looks, it turns out they inherited them from their parents.

As they were talking, Yu Lan came.

"Father, mother." Yu Lan greeted them with a smile.

The emperor frowned: "Why are you here?"

Yu Lan said calmly: "I miss my father and mother."

"Oh!" The emperor sneered and did not comment.

They just met yesterday, and she missed them so soon? What a lie!

The emperor had nothing to say to Jiang Shu, and it was inconvenient for them to talk with him around, so he simply called Yu Zheng to play chess.

Concubine Yu understood and asked Yu Lan and Jiang Shu to go to the side hall with her to talk.

Yu Zheng was a little worried, but Yu Lan gave him a look, and he felt at ease to stay and play chess with the emperor. It

was her first time to enter the palace to meet her parents-in-law, and Jiang Shu was very nervous, but with Yu Lan's company, she was a little relieved.

The three of them ate fruit and chatted in the side hall, and the atmosphere was harmonious and comfortable.

When the topic came to Zhuang Yun, Concubine Yu Gui took the opportunity to say, "Now that you and Zheng'er are married, and you are not young anymore, you must hurry up and not let yourself fall too far behind Yun'er."

"Yes." Jiang Shu agreed with a red face.

She also likes children and wants to have one as soon as possible.

Seeing that Jiang Shu was not unhappy and responded very straightforwardly, Concubine Yu was relieved.

It seems that there is hope for this grandson.

The three chatted about other things for a while, and time passed quickly. The palace servant came to report that lunch was ready.

The family sat together. Although there was only one more person, Concubine Yu felt that it was much more lively and satisfactory, and she was very happy to eat the meal.

After the meal, Jiang Shu and the other two left the palace together.

Before leaving, Concubine Yu took Jiang Shu's hand and said, "In the future, when you have time, come to the palace more often with Zheng'er and Lan'er. I am very lonely alone, so come and talk to me more often."

Jiang Shu nodded in agreement.

After leaving the palace, he separated from Yu Lan and the two got on the carriage to return to the palace.

"Is everything okay?" Yu Zheng asked her.

Jiang Shu let out a long sigh and chuckled, "Well, my father and mother are very kind."

Jiang Shu was a little surprised that the dissatisfaction and difficulties she had imagined did not happen.

Yu Zheng held her hand and said, "Don't worry, they won't make things difficult for you."

After a pause, Yu Zheng smiled and said, "They are counting on you to hold their grandchildren."

Jiang Shu: "..."

Seeing Yu Zheng's teasing face, Jiang Shu gritted her teeth and said, "I can't rely on myself for this kind of thing."

Yu Zheng raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "The princess is right. It seems that I have to work harder when I go back."

Work hard?

Jiang Shu couldn't help but think of last night and felt embarrassed.

She was so stupid that she actually dug a hole for herself.

Yu Zheng thought Jiang Shu's shy look was really cute, and couldn't help but continue to tease her: "Princess, do you think I was okay last night?

Was I okay?

Can she say no!
