Chapter 146 The Angry Princess and the Rough General 1 (Additional Update)
Although Shen Beizhan was not very satisfied with this marriage, it was a grace bestowed by the emperor after all.
What's more, most of those present were his good brothers and subordinates who had fought side by side with him on the battlefield.
He couldn't bring himself to lose face, so he simply held the wine pot and drank to his heart's content with his brothers.
When he passed by the noble families in the capital with a strong smell of alcohol on his body, they covered their noses and avoided him with disdainful eyes.
"This is Princess Chenghui's consort. He looks really vulgar."
"I heard that the Shen family's ancestors were horse herders. They had little family education and fought for their future with brute force and their lives. They have no background at all, so how could they not be vulgar?"
"Princess Chenghui is a daughter of a rich family, very coquettish, and she values literature over martial arts. Now that she is married to Shen Si, it is quite embarrassing..."
Shen Beizhan pretended not to hear what these people were saying.
However, the brothers who followed him couldn't stand it very much, so they deliberately spit on the group of noble families when they passed by.
"I'm sorry, everyone. I'm sick. When I hear the croaking of frogs, I feel sick and want to vomit..."
"Hahaha……"
Shen Beizhan turned around to look at the group of brothers, cursed with a smile, then turned and walked towards the bridal chamber.
He also knew that Princess Chenghui disliked him.
But she didn't expect to hear her maid at the door say that she would meet the widower tonight.
What bad luck.
But Shen Beizhan still pretended to be drunk, pushed the door open, and knocked Cha Jiu down carelessly.
He wanted to warn the other party not to act rashly in the heavily guarded general's mansion tonight.
Unexpectedly, the rumored coquettish princess not only did not run away, but she even did not mind his drunken smell, and fetched warm water to carefully clean him up.
This surprised Shen Beizhan a little.
What happened?
Could it be that she found out that I was pretending to sleep and wanted to use a soft trick to paralyze him and then take the opportunity to slip away?
When the smell of alcohol in the room had almost dissipated, Cha Jiu ordered, "Chenxiang, go and close the window. The general has been drinking and is hot. If he is exposed to the wind for too long, he will probably have a headache tomorrow morning."
Chenxiang obediently went to close the window without thinking too much.
Instead, it was Qingdai who noticed the change in the princess.
When the emperor first offered her marriage, the princess was very resistant.
They cry today and go on a hunger strike tomorrow. In short, they are extremely disgusted with the vulgar, ignorant and illiterate General Shen Si in the legend.
Now that the marriage is done, she has calmed down and is not completely ignoring General Shen.
Could it be that the princess has figured it out?
Qingdai can only guess in this direction.
But it's also okay this way. It's not a good thing for the princess to be obsessed with Lord Song who is always missing his deceased wife.
Cha Jiu cleaned Shen Beizhan's face and saw that there was a thin layer of sweat around his neck.
She lowered her head and moved slightly closer.
Shen Beizhan, who was pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, felt that sweet breath approaching. His heart skipped a beat and he almost thought she had seen through his pretense of sleep.
"Stinky." He heard the little princess mutter.
The next moment, the warm body was away from him.
Shen Beizhan breathed a sigh of relief.
But he was a little embarrassed.
What stinks?
He takes two showers every day, but today he drank some wine, so there was a hint of alcohol in his sweat.
Why is it smelly?
Ridiculous!
Cha Jiu threw the towel back into the basin and began to take off Shen Beizhan's wedding dress.
In fact, his sweat didn't smell bad. When she got closer, she only smelled the scent of dry soap beans and the warm aroma of mellow wine.
But she said that on purpose so she could take off his clothes.
Let you pretend to sleep, Cha Jiu thought.
Shen Beizhan was now in a difficult situation. He was embarrassed to be stripped by the princess, but he couldn't stop her because he was pretending to be asleep.
Fortunately, Cha Jiu did not strip him naked. She only took off his outermost wedding dress, leaving his inner clothes, and then used a soft towel to wipe his hot and sticky chest and neck.
It's true, after Cha Jiu's careful cleaning, Shen Beizhan felt much more refreshed, and the drowsiness caused by the alcohol was much gone.
Qingdai couldn't bear to see her own princess serving others. She wanted to take the towel several times, but was rejected.
Chen Xiang was straightforward. He estimated that the time had passed, so he asked casually, "Your Highness, are we still going to keep the appointment with Lord Song?"
Qing Dai glared at her and said, "The Prince Consort is here, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Qingdai is very cautious.
Shen Beizhan deliberately snored, folded his arms, turned over and continued to sleep.
This scared both Qingdai and Chenxiang.
Cha Jiu didn't care. She tucked the quilt for Shen Beizhan and said nonchalantly, "Why should I go to this appointment when it's not a good arrangement?"
Qing Dai was stunned, and was somewhat unable to react: "Why do you say that, Your Highness?"
Cha Jiu analyzed: "If he had feelings for me, he should have asked my father to marry me long ago. If he had no feelings, he should have let me marry to a good family. Why did he have to meet me privately on my wedding day?"
Chen Xiang coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness, it was you who made an appointment with him."
Qing Dai saw it clearly: "No, if Lord Song had not hesitated to speak in front of Your Highness, showing a look of grief, Your Highness would not have taken such a risk and asked him to meet tonight."
Although in the final analysis, Your Highness was deceived by the man.
Qingdai kept these words in her heart and didn't say them out loud.
Cha Jiu snorted and laughed: "Song Heng is always like this. He never says clearly what he wants from me. He just puts on that pitiful look and waits for me to give it to him obediently."
"But this time is different." Cha Jiu glanced at Shen Beizhan who was sleeping soundly beside her, and her coquettish tone became serious, "I married into the Shen family to represent the face of the royal family, and also to comfort the loyal and brave people in the Shen family."
The ancestors of the Shen family devoted themselves to the country of Chu until their death. Now, Shen Beizhan is the only one left in the family.
He is an only child who cannot give birth to any offspring.
Such a tragic act and such meritorious service have already been rewarded beyond measure by the royal family. Money, status, and honor have all been given in the past.
Now he could only marry his only princess to the Shen family to show the people of the world how much the emperor valued and comforted the Shen family.
Shen Beizhan's snoring became quieter.
He gradually calmed down.
The system prompts Cha Jiu: "Shen Beizhan's favorability has reached 10%."
Qing Dai felt relieved: "Now that the matter is settled, it is good if Your Highness can think this way."
As the master and his two servants were talking, Cha Jiu's wedding dress and crown were taken off one by one.
Cha Jiu changed into soft and comfortable satin pajamas and said, "It's late, you should go to bed too."
Seeing that Shen Beizhan was sleeping so soundly, Qingdai and Chenxiang knew that nothing would happen tonight, so they withdrew and went to the next room to rest.
Cha Jiu blew out the candles and lay down quietly beside Shen Beizhan.
This new bed was not as soft as the one in the palace and was a bit uncomfortable. She tossed and turned for a long time before she could barely fall asleep.
Shen Beizhan listened to the light breathing sound gradually becoming even and opened his eyes again.
He turned over gently and looked at Cha Jiu who was sleeping beside him in the moonlight.
She has almond eyes, willow eyebrows, rosy cheeks and pink lips, and she is as tender as a flower bud on a branch that is covered with dew and has not yet bloomed.
No wonder everyone says she is coquettish and noble.
This jade-like skin can't be maintained without a few cars of expensive powder a year.
Shen Beizhan snorted and laughed, then returned to his lying position and stopped looking at her.
What a pity.
If such a beautiful lady marries him, she is destined to suffer.
He won't let her go.
Thinking of this, Shen Beizhan also fell into a deep sleep.
