Chapter 23: Is the Crown Prince not capable?
Ji Yunshu thought about it and felt that it was not necessary.
It is indeed frustrating not to be able to make your own decisions about marriage, especially when you already have a loved one.
But this is actually the norm in this era.
Parents' orders and matchmaker's words are not just talk.
Many people were arranged to marry their spouses without even meeting them.
Zhao Heng and Wei Yuanmin were a perfect match, and in everyone's eyes this was a good marriage.
Zhao Heng might not be completely unprepared.
As soon as they returned to the mansion, Mrs. Yao called Zhao Heng into the room.
Ji Yunshu didn't go over to cause trouble and went straight back to Qionghua Courtyard.
She went back to the house, changed into light clothes, took off her bun, and let her hair down, only then did she feel much more relaxed.
Seeing this, Mother Li muttered, "You haven't even had dinner yet, and you've already taken your hair off. How are you going to meet the Crown Prince later?"
She found that her daughter had become more and more lazy since getting married.
The servants were watching over the yard, but they didn't pay any attention to their appearance.
Ji Yunshu said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? We're husband and wife, so what kind of me has he not seen?"
She thought that after saying this, Mother Li would definitely stop nitpicking about her appearance, but when Mother Li heard this, her expression froze for a moment.
Then he looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Seeing this, Ji Yunshu had no choice but to say, "I know Mom is doing this for my own good. Just tell me what you want to say."
Mother Li walked up to her and asked quietly, "Prince...is this not working?"
"ah?"
The topic changed so quickly that Ji Yunshu didn't react for a moment.
Mother Li continued, "It's been a while since you got married, and you haven't consummated your marriage yet..."
Ji Yunshu asked in surprise: "How do you know?"
She actually didn't mind having sex with Zhao Shen. She was lucky to be able to sleep with a handsome man like Zhao Shen.
But Zhao Shen said it was not the right time yet.
I don’t know what auspicious day to wait for?
However, in order to avoid being discovered that they were still in a pure relationship, they slept in the same bed these days.
I wonder how Mrs. Li knew that they hadn’t consummated their marriage yet?
Mother Li looked at her silly girl and sighed, "Not only did you not ask for water last night, but there's no trace of it on the bed. Besides, a married woman is always different from a little girl."
Ji Yunshu, who had seen countless porn movies but had never actually done one, was amazed: "You can even tell that?"
If modern people had this ability, who would still undergo reconstructive surgery?
Mother Li had no idea what was going on in her mind, and couldn't help but worry for her: "The prince is already 26 years old. Normally, men of his age would have several children, but he doesn't even have a maid to serve him in his room. Could there really be something wrong with him?"
Although Mother Li's suspicion was reasonable, Ji Yunshu felt that based on the results of his previous tests, Zhao Shen should be fine.
"What is mom talking about? How could I not know if there is something wrong with the prince?"
Mother Li asked suspiciously, "But you..."
Do you really understand?
Ji Yunshu heard the sound of a wheelchair turning at the door and quickly interrupted Mother Li: "Oh, don't worry, I know what's going on."
After he finished speaking, he saw Zhao Shen coming in from outside.
Mother Li was probably a little embarrassed about the topic they had just talked about, so she hurriedly bowed to Zhao Shen and left.
Zhao Shen looked at her hurried back and asked, "What happened to Madam Li? Did I disturb you?"
Ji Yunshu also found it a little funny: "No, she just asked me why we haven't consummated our marriage yet. I said you didn't want to, and she became suspicious..."
As she spoke, her eyes fell on Zhao Shen's lower body, and she said meaningfully, "You know."
Zhao Shen's beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly raised, but the look in his eyes became a little deep: "Do you really want to consummate your marriage with me? You know that after consummating the marriage, you will not be able to regret it?"
Ji Yunshu said: "I won't regret it."
It’s just a matter of consummating a marriage, how can it really tie two people together?
Zhao Shen also noticed her indifference and lowered his eyes slightly: "Don't worry, I will wait for you."
Who are you waiting for?
Somehow, Ji Yunshu felt as if she heard a hint of inexplicable melancholy in his tone.
I didn't ask any further questions.
Just at this time, Lu Ru came in with people to serve the meal.
Ji Yunshu looked at the table full of dishes and instantly put the awkward atmosphere behind him.
There was no other way. She went to the banquet today, but didn't get to eat because of Zhao Heng's matter. She was already hungry.
After drinking a bowl of soup, she finally remembered to ask, "What happened today? Did Wei Yuanmin plot against Zhao Heng?"
From the attitudes of the Princess and the Duke of Wei, it was clear that they were in the wrong today.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have just arranged the marriage without investigating the matter.
Zhao Shen helped Ji Yunshu pick up a piece of her favorite dish with his chopsticks, and then said, "The Yao family and the eldest princess are interested in getting married. Zhao Heng doesn't want to marry Wei Yuanmin, so he plans to push her to me today. I asked someone to tell Wei Yuanmin about it, and she did the rest herself."
Ji Yunshu was stunned: "Push it to you? How did he come up with such a vicious idea?"
I have to say that people really need to look at things from a developmental perspective.
In her eyes, Zhao Heng is still a love-brained man who will do anything for love, and he has been secretly using such a mean trick to plot against her.
If this succeeded, Zhao Shen's reputation would be ruined. Whether he married Wei Yuanmin or not, he would offend both the Princess's Mansion and the Ji family.
The Ji family and the Princess's Mansion will even become enemies because of this.
Most importantly, this was a blatant revenge against her.
Wasn’t it because Yao Ruolan didn’t want to marry him?
What if Zhao Shen also has another woman?
Zhao Shen said: "No matter what he wants to do this time, it won't succeed."
He could actually see that Ji Yunshu was wary of Zhao Heng and Yao Ruolan.
But no matter what, he will protect her.
Ji Yunshu said, "I know."
Although the plot is still going on, it is different from the original book after all.
This time, Zhao Heng wanted to marry Wei Yuanmin.
The legitimate daughter of Princess Taining and Duke Wei.
Prince Yong's niece.
I don’t know how he will protect Yao Ruolan from Wei Yuanmin?
Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "It seems that our days in the mansion will not be boring in the future."
There really isn't much entertainment in this era.
I go to bed when it gets dark and get up when it gets light.
Apart from reading, she practices martial arts every day.
Ji Yunshu felt that his daily routine had never been so regular.
Zhao Shen said, "If you feel bored, we can stay at the manor for a few days. The weather is getting hotter these days, and it's cooler at the manor."
Ji Yunshu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Is it okay?"
Zhao Shen laughed and said, "I'm a cripple, so it doesn't matter where I stay. You just married in, and you don't take care of the household or the affairs. Why can't you leave?"
"Then we'll set off tomorrow?"
Zhao Shen saw that she was just talking nonsense and shook his head. "Don't you want to go to the palace to see the Queen Mother? Then wait until you come out of the palace before going."
Ji Yunshu then remembered that he still had important things to do.
Thinking that she had no idea what the situation was in the palace, she hesitated and asked, "Can I stay in the palace for a few days?"
