"Your Highness, please don't blame this old servant. This is all the Dowager Consort's wish!" Di Su said tremblingly from outside.
Xuan Yuanzhan was exasperated and somewhat angry: "What is Bai Fuya up to now!"
Seeing this, Di Su quickly advised, "Don't blame the Dowager Consort. Tonight is your wedding night with the Princess Consort, and you should spend it in the bridal chamber."
"Do you think locking the door will stop me?" Su Xuening was still sitting in the back when Xuan Yuanzhan went to the window, feeling both ashamed and angry.
I wanted to jump out the window, but when I tugged at it, I found it was sealed shut.
Clearly, there were people guarding outside the window as well.
"Your Highness, please don't make things difficult for this old servant. You don't want to put this old man through the wringer, do you?"
Upon hearing Granny Shang's voice, Xuan Yuanzhan immediately stopped pulling on the window.
Damn it, even Granny Shang was sent here. Bai Fuya really knows how to stop at nothing!
Knowing that he was raised by Granny Shang when he was a child, he could not possibly lay a hand on Granny Shang.
Di Su was at the main gate, and Granny Shang was at the window. Xuan Yuanzhan's gaze unconsciously moved upwards.
Before he could even consider going out from the roof, Ye Yu's voice came from the roof: "Your Highness, don't even think about it. There are people guarding you on the roof. Just stay in your main room and let Ye Xue and I keep watch outside for you. We'll make sure no one hears anything."
...Xuanyuan Zhan was completely speechless.
Bai Fuya, do you really have to go this far?!
This completely surrounds the entire Linshui Pavilion!
Xuanyuan Zhan turned around and glanced at Su Xuening, who was dressed in a bright red wedding gown and sitting obediently by the bed. At that moment, he finally realized that tonight was their wedding night.
Especially since she may have slept for a while, her hair was loose and her face was without any makeup, yet she was still breathtakingly beautiful, possessing a unique, delicate, and shy beauty under the flickering red candlelight.
"Ahem~" Realizing what he had been thinking, Xuan Yuanzhan quickly coughed lightly and said awkwardly, "I have to sleep in the main room tonight."
There's no way we can get out.
Su Xuening saw this and raised her eyebrows noncommittally: "So, Your Highness, would you like to sleep on a bed or a couch?"
Xuanyuan Zhan glanced at the small couch in the outer room and pouted somewhat unhappily: "I'll sleep on the bed!"
He's not used to sleeping in small beds; he won't be able to sleep on a tatami mat.
Su Xuening had no objection, after all, this was someone else's house. She stood up and said, "Then Your Highness should go and change your clothes first."
He was a little wet, and he had just soaked her clothes. Luckily, she was dressed properly, and since she would take off her outer clothes to sleep anyway, she didn't need to change clothes, which also avoided embarrassment.
After Su Xuening finished speaking, she turned around and went to make the bed, giving him an impression that she was not going to look at him.
Xuan Yuanzhan had just stepped into the cold pool while wearing his wedding attire, so he was indeed wet.
Xuanyuan Zhan glanced at Su Xuening, who was making the bed, then went to the wardrobe to get his nightgown and went behind the screen to change.
When he came out after changing, he saw Su Xuening carrying bedding.
"Where are we going?" Xuan Yuanzhan asked subconsciously.
"Didn't Your Highness want to sleep on the bed? Then I'll sleep on the small couch."
As Su Xuening was speaking, she was about to carry her bedding to the small couch, but Xuan Yuanzhan grabbed her arm and said, "Tonight is our wedding night, and you're going to sleep in a separate bed from me?"
Su Xuening was terrified when she saw him holding her wrist. She quickly shook off Xuan Yuanzhan's hand and clenched her sleeve tightly.
Seeing how nervous she was, Xuan Yuanzhan stopped touching her and said, "What are you afraid of? I'm not going to eat you."
Xuanyuan Zhan said as he sat down on the bed: "Take your bedding and get on the bed. We'll each have half of this bed."
Su Xuening glanced at Xuan Yuanzhan and saw that he spoke very sincerely, and his eyes were very clear, so he didn't seem to have any bad intentions.
But even if they had feelings for her, she had no reason to refuse, since they were already married.
Su Xuening took a deep breath, picked up her bedding, and got into bed.
There was originally only one quilt on the bed, but now there's an extra one. Su Xuening is sleeping in the inner room wrapped in a small quilt, with only her head sticking out. In contrast, Xuan Yuanzhan is much more casual.
Both of them had their eyes open, neither of them seemed sleepy, and the room was so quiet that only their breathing could be heard.
Even though Su Xuening tried to keep her breathing very light, she still couldn't resist the ambiguous atmosphere created by their breaths rising and falling together.
Xuan Yuanzhan seemed unable to bear the ambiguity and spoke first: "Did you marry into the Holy King's Mansion because you wanted to avoid Xuan Yuanyu?"
Su Xuening was surprised that he would suddenly speak and ask such a question. She was stunned for a moment before saying, "The Emperor bestowed this marriage upon me, so I had no choice! However, for me now, marrying into the Holy Prince's Mansion is indeed a better choice."
There are many things she can't explain to him, and she can't tell him the truth. I guess she owes him something!
Her tone was full of bitterness and helplessness, and Xuan Yuanzhan thought of her situation in the Yong'an Marquis's mansion.
I had heard before that the man gave the title of Marquis of Yong'an to her second uncle. I don't know what that man was thinking. Her father left behind an heir, so the title shouldn't have gone to her second uncle no matter how it was passed around.
So he doesn't want to come back to this wretched Kyoto, it's full of mess!
"Don't worry, now that you've entered the Holy King's Mansion, Bai Fuya will definitely protect you and won't let you be bullied!"
Su Xuening was taken aback again, then replied, "Yes, the Dowager Consort is very good to me."
Hearing Su Xuening praise Bai Fuya, Xuan Yuanzhan suddenly regretted mentioning her and said, "If Xuan Yuanyu causes you trouble again in the future, just come to me."
"Mm," Su Xuening responded softly, without saying anything more.
Soon, there was another period of silence.
