Chapter 304 The Princess Invites You to Drink Tea
When the groom escorted the bride into the bridal chamber, many young men followed him, and Shen Anan also pulled Xiao Yuan along with the crowd.
The bridal chamber was packed with people, shouting, and laughing. Shen Anan did not go in, but instead her eyes fell on the beautiful maids guarding outside the door.
I have to say that Li Huaiyan has good taste and knows how to enjoy life. Even the maid who serves him closely is so pretty. I wonder if the girl from the Zheng family would feel depressed when she sees her.
Thinking about it, she raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Yuan.
"What's wrong?"
"Which of those maids is the prettiest?"
Xiao Yuan then glanced at the maid guarding the door. Just a quick glance and he felt a sharp pain in his arm. Shen Anan was frowning and pinching her arm hard, spinning in circles.
"You really watch it?"
He looked helpless, "Didn't the Madam ask me? I just looked subconsciously."
His eyes were full of doting, reflecting Shen Anan's unreasonable figure, so she let go, realizing that she was indeed unreasonable first.
"Then do you see which one is prettier?"
"No, Madam forbids me to look at it."
Shen Anan glared at him, "You clearly saw it just now, and you clearly want to see it again. Do you want me to ask Li Huaiyan to come and arrange for a few people to go to your study room to add fragrance to your life?"
"He won't give it to you. Beautiful women are his lifeblood. They are much more valuable than a few pots of flowers."
Shen Anan looked very unhappy when he heard this, “Oh, do you really want it?”
"…I am just telling the truth."
Seeing Shen Anan turned her face away, seemingly unhappy, he sighed softly, stepped forward and hugged her in his arms, “Before Madam married me, the Prince’s Mansion was clean. Now that you have Madam, there will naturally be no more questionable people.”
"...Yeah." She responded proudly and snuggled into his arms.
Xiao Yuan smoothed her hair.
In the past, Shen Anan would never talk about these boring topics, let alone get upset for no reason. She was always silent and restrained.
But now, she became more and more childish, like a young girl who was new to love affairs. What was rare was that Xiao Yuan would always go along with her and laugh with her.
A maid sneaked out of the bridal chamber and walked to Shen Anan, “Princess, my wife would like to invite you to come in and sit for a while.”
Shen Anan had no memory of the Zheng family girl in her mind, but she was also somewhat curious about what kind of girl could have won Li Huaiyan.
Xiao Yuan looked worried, he didn't want Shen Anan to leave his sight for a moment, especially in such a lively occasion today, and he didn't know the girl from the Zheng family.
"No." He said simply.
The maid was stunned.
Shen Anan pinched his palm silently and said to the maid, “Tell your wife to wait until everyone leaves before I go in.”
"Yes." The maid was nervous and frightened, her face turned pale, and she left quickly.
Shen Anan, "She is Li Huaiyan's wife after all, so we still have to give her some face."
Xiao Yuan frowned slightly, "The attitude of the Zheng family is unclear. Li Huaiyan's brain is not very good. The girl from the Zheng family can persuade Li Huaiyan to marry her. I think she is not an ordinary person."
Shen Anan knew his worries. He was simply afraid that the Zheng family would want to have both sides, while Miss Zheng was wholeheartedly helping her family.
"Even if she is not an ordinary person, I am not a fool as your wife. Moreover, this is in Duke Li's mansion and you are still here. What dares her do anything to me? Unless her entire Zheng family is willing to give up their lives."
With her soft comfort, Xiao Yuan's complexion improved a little.
＊
In the room, several young men started to make a fuss, insisting that Li Huaiyan kiss the bride before they would let him leave to the front yard.
Li Huaiyan blushed, which was unusual for him. He leaned over and pecked Zheng Yue'er quickly on the cheek through the veil, then immediately straightened up.
"Okay, okay, we're done kissing, time to go, let's go drink."
Those people were relentless, "That won't do. You kissed her, but my sister-in-law hasn't kissed her yet."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zheng Yue'er immediately grabbed Li Huaiyan's sleeve and hid behind him, causing everyone in the room to burst into laughter.
Li Huaiyan felt sweet in his heart, so he stood in front of Zheng Yue'er and said, "Stop making trouble, your sister-in-law is too shy."
Gravity was pressing against his lower back as Zheng Yue'er's head rested against his waist. Li Huaiyan's lips were raised high, and he felt like there was a worm in his heart, wriggling back and forth, itching him so much that the blood rushed up all over his body.
After much persuasion, he finally drove everyone out and closed the door. He turned around and looked at the girl sitting elegantly on the wedding bed, with a big grin on his face.
"Well, I'll go to the front yard to entertain the guests first. If you need anything, tell the maid outside, or ask someone to find me in the front yard."
"Come here for a moment." Zheng Yue'er's voice was soft.
Like pearls falling to the ground, crisp and soft, delicate but not coquettish, it turns out that this is how ladies from noble families speak when they are shy.
Li Huaiyan walked forward and stood in front of her.
"Bend down."
Li Huaiyan did as he was told.
The girl, who was sitting quietly, suddenly lifted her veil, revealing a pretty and shy little face. She quickly raised her head and kissed him on the lips, then quickly put down her veil.
Li Huaiyan froze and did not move for a long time. Then streams of heat began to flow from his lower abdomen.
He swallowed hard.
"Why are you still standing there? Aren't you supposed to accompany the guests? Why don't you leave?" Her voice was timid and her jade-white fingers gently pushed Li Huaiyan's body.
Suddenly, a drop of red fell on the floor, then the second drop, the third drop...
She was stunned for a moment.
"Well, I'm leaving first. You, wait for me to come back." After saying that, Li Huaiyan hurriedly left the bridal chamber. She could still hear the maid's panicked cries outside.
"My Lord, why is your nose bleeding?"
"Shut up." Li Huaiyan took the handkerchief, covered his mouth and nose, and raised his head.
He had been around many women, and today he had a nosebleed in front of his newlywed wife. It was really embarrassing.
Wouldn't she feel that she has been drained and her health is not good?
Li Huaiyan gritted his teeth, he was really useless.
＊
Ling Chenyi, Xiao Yuan, and Shen Anan were all standing in the yard. When they saw Li Huaiyan covering his mouth and nose and running away in embarrassment, they naturally laughed at him.
Facing these people, Li Huaiyan was thick-skinned and looked indifferent. After all, these two people knew best what kind of person he was.
Ling Chenyi, "I never thought that one day, you would also meet your nemesis in the relationship between men and women."
"What nemesis? I just feel a little irritated these days. Okay, stop laughing, stop laughing, let's go and have a drink."
Shen Anan let go of Xiao Yuan's hand.
Xiao Yuan frowned and did not move. Li Huaiyan raised his eyes and looked at the two of them.
Ling Chenyi said, "Your wife sent a maid to tell her that she wanted to talk to my sister-in-law."
Li Huaiyan's expression suddenly became somewhat gloomy, and his brows were tightly furrowed.
He felt pity for Zheng Yue'er and married her, but that didn't mean he was a fool and didn't understand the situation.
"Don't worry about it, I'll talk to her later." Li Huaiyan said.
Shen Anan shook her head, "Just a few words, nothing, it's boring to stay in the front yard, okay, you guys go quickly, there are guests waiting."
Li Huaiyan still sent his most reliable old woman to guard the new house.
It's not that he doesn't trust Zheng Yue'er, it's just that Shen An'an is too special. If she gets bumped into, Xiao Yuan will go crazy.
Moreover, the Zheng family is behind Zheng Yue'er, so he dare not let his guard down.
"The three of us hang out together all day, so it's right for them girls to get to know each other. It will help them relieve boredom in the future." Ling Chenyi broke the silence and pulled the two away.
＊
Two of the four beautiful maids at the door had red eyes, and of the remaining two, one had a gloomy face and looked unhappy, while the other had a blank expression, apparently not showing her emotions on her face.
However, everyone could see that the four of them were very unhappy, as if their husbands had found a new love, and they showed a hint of resentment.
As Shen Anan walked by, she glanced at the four people, wondering how Zheng Yueer would feel if she saw this scene.
Li Huaiyan was too ungentlemanly. How could he let these people serve the new wife on the wedding day? Wouldn't that just cause trouble for others?
She naturally didn't know that the two had reached an agreement in advance. Zheng Yue'er said that she didn't care, and Li Huaiyan, with his carefree personality, naturally wouldn't go to the trouble of hiding the four people.
She pushed the door open and went in.
The girl in the bright red wedding dress had already lifted her veil. She stood beside the eight-immortal table and looked at him with a smile, "Fourth Prince's Consort, please have some tea."
＊
Zheng family, banquet hall.
There was not even a maid in the room except the Zheng couple, and there were people guarding outside the door, not allowing anyone to approach.
Mrs. Zheng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and she kept wiping the cold sweat from her forehead.
"It's almost dark, why is there still no news? Master, why don't you send someone to check it out?"
Lord Zheng frowned and brushed away Madam Zheng's men, then stole a glance at the fifth prince, Xiao Tian, who was sitting on the upper throne.
He had kept his eyes half closed for a long time, and I didn't know whether he was asleep or what.
"Wait a little longer."
He felt confused and didn't know whether he was looking forward to it or afraid. He was very conflicted.
Secretly, he wanted to rely on the Fourth Prince, but when he thought of his own legitimate son, he had a glimmer of hope that perhaps he could rescue his son and rise to higher heights with the Fifth Prince.
Madam Zheng's eyelids were so red and swollen from crying that she could hardly open them. She kept muttering, "That damn girl, she kept dragging it out even after I told her that her brother was in critical condition. I shouldn't have given birth to her in the first place. She's really useless."
Lord Zheng's ears were so calloused from listening that he didn't even have the energy to glare at Madam Zheng.
Time passed slowly, and the Zheng Mansion was still unusually quiet. No news came back. Xiao Tian, who had been silent all the time, suddenly opened his eyes and stood up calmly, "It seems that Lord Zheng and Madam Zheng are not going to take your life, so I won't waste my time with you two."
"No, no, no, don't." Madam Zheng didn't dare to block Xiao Tian's way, so she knelt down in front of him, "Yue'er will definitely save her brother. She has taken the medicine. Please wait a little longer, don't hurt my Ye'er."
Lord Zheng frowned and had to stand up and bow, "Please be tolerant for a little while, Fifth Prince."
Xiao Tian looked at the two of them, his eyes slightly gloomy.
"Oh no, oh no," a servant's roar suddenly came from outside.
Soon, red torches illuminated the entire Zheng Mansion.
There was noise, shouting, and footsteps, it was a mess.
Under the eaves, servants hurried back and forth, running out one after another. Lord Zheng frowned and asked loudly, "What's going on?"
The gatekeeper was pushed away somewhere and no one responded.
Xiao Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, with a sneer on his lips, looking towards the window.
Lord Zheng walked forward and opened the door, and was shocked by the scene in front of him. A chill rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, as if it could freeze him to death.
It was more like a knife at his neck.
"Lord Zheng." Ling Chenyi raised his eyes slightly, his face still with a spring breeze smile, but it made Lord Zheng feel a chill on his back and his legs tremble.
