Chapter 198 Listen to your husband
The night was as dark as ink, and the moonlight poured like water into the cloud screen window lattices. Flames danced on the rows of candlesticks. The red candles, as thick as a baby's arm, were engraved with double happiness characters, and the wax was as liquid as lacquer.
Dragon and phoenix cups, mandarin duck quilts...the layout of the Purple Palace does not look like a ceremony to crown the empress, but more like the wedding of the emperor and empress.
The sound of moaning and growling was endless in the red gauze tent, and the crisp cold fragrance was mixed with the sweet warm fragrance, which was deep, bewitching and captivating.
Emperor Jingxuan grasped the slender, porcelain-white waist, his jaw lowered, his thin, moist, crimson lips pressed against the fair skin, and he sighed deeply, "Why is my little princess so late?"
It was obvious that both of them were in good health, his wife was in good health, and he himself was strong and healthy, so it was no problem for his wife to enjoy herself to her heart's content. However, the little princess he was thinking about was nowhere to be seen.
The scorching breath sprayed, burning Yun Wan's whole body and making her tremble. Her slightly bulging belly contracted and in an instant her body began to flow like water. She had no time to pay attention to what he said.
Emperor Jingxuan's profile was pressed against it, her delicate body rising and falling, and Yun Wan's panting became the most beautiful music in his ears. He curled his lips and enjoyed it quietly.
"Madam, would you please move back to Zichen Palace and live with me?"
His rough big hands were restless, rubbing and tangling everywhere, rubbing Yun Wan until her whole body turned red.
The limp legs were casually draped over the red mandarin duck quilt, the red and white creating a strong visual impact.
Yun Wan shook her head and refused, "No, I'm already used to living in Qiyun Palace."
Her jet-black hair spread out on the soft pillow, her beautiful eyes were half-closed, shimmering with watery light, and her eyes and eyebrows were filled with a strong charm that could not be erased.
Emperor Jingxuan held one of her slender legs in one hand, and rubbed her ankle with his fingertips as if he was playing with a perfect piece of jade.
"Habits can be changed, even if you live here for a long time." His voice was low and ambiguous, making people's ears numb.
His palm felt like a branding iron. Yun Wan moved subconsciously, but his grip was tightened even more.
After struggling to free herself to no avail, she simply let him go, saying lazily, "If I live with you, how will Concubine Hui and Concubine Kang dare to come and talk to me in the future?"
Yun Wan was sure that compared with her fear of Emperor Jingxuan, the thin affection between them could be ignored.
"Besides, don't you like quietness?"
If Huipin and others appeared in the Purple Palace every now and then, this man would definitely have a sullen face. No one would dare to say a word, and they would all make excuses to go back to the palace after a few words. What's the point then?
Thinking of the scene of a group of women chattering and making a headache, Emperor Jingxuan fell silent.
"Then I will have Fengzao Palace renovated. From now on, Madam, you can live wherever you want."
Fengzao Palace has always been the bedroom of the Queen of Daqi. Its size and environment are no worse than those of Zichen Palace. However, Emperor Jingxuan has been in power for more than ten years, and the position of Queen has been vacant for several years. Fengzao Palace has also been vacant for several years, and it is deserted and in disrepair. It is not suitable to move in immediately.
Now that Yun Wan is used to living in Qiyun Palace, it is not too late to slowly renovate Fengzao Palace.
“I…”
As soon as she opened her lips, a slight pressure appeared on them. Emperor Jingxuan lifted her chin with one hand, staring at her with a piercing gaze, and said, "Madam, please call me 'husband'. We are one as husband and wife. In private, you should refer to yourself as 'I'."
He leaned over the cloud, and crystal beads of sweat slid down the sharp and deep outline and dripped onto the hill.
Yun Wan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened her red lips slightly and called out, "...Husband."
The clear voice is slightly hoarse, with a rising and hooked ending that is refreshing.
As soon as she said this, she was stunned, because she hadn't formally called someone by this name for many years.
She had only called him that before, to her ex-husband Lu Fenglan, but now she was calling him that to Emperor Jingxuan, the only two men in her life.
The corners of his mouth turned up in an unstoppable smile. Emperor Jingxuan leaned in half an inch closer and said, "Madam, call me again."
After the first time, it was natural for her to shout out the second time: "Husband, I will listen to you."
Yun Wan smiled and reached out to hug his neck.
.........
The next day, although Yun Wan was tired and weak in the legs, she still got up half an hour earlier than usual, washed up, and rode the phoenix chariot back to Qiyun Palace.
As soon as she landed, Fuling came forward with a smile on her face, "Your Majesty, the other ladies are already waiting in the front hall."
In the past, there was no queen, so the concubines in the harem did not need to pay their respects. But now that there is one, they naturally have to come and pay their respects to Yun Wan in person the day after she is crowned queen.
Following a cry of "The Queen has arrived", Yun Wan appeared in gorgeous and heavy palace clothes, walked through the crowd, stepped onto the jade steps and took a seat.
The concubines knelt down.
Looking at the familiar faces below, she smiled faintly: "Everyone get up, it's me who's late."
"That's not true. His Majesty loves His Majesty dearly. It's us who are disturbing you by coming too early."
Unlike Huipin's sarcastic tone, Kang Guiren has a clever tongue. Even if there is some flattery in her words, everyone will feel comfortable listening to them.
Yun Wan: "Yueya, go and give everyone the small gifts I've prepared."
Receiving different rewards, everyone smiled. They picked up the things in the brocade box and said, "What the Queen gave is indeed a good thing."
As soon as someone opened his mouth, a topic began to be discussed. It was the first time that Qiyun Palace was so lively.
There is also quietness in the bustle, and that is the virtuous concubine who has little interaction with Yun Wan on weekdays.
Yun Wan took a quick look and found that except for the confined Li, everyone else had come. Even the virtuous concubine who always stayed at home and meddlesome in other people's affairs had come with the eldest princess.
The eldest princess sat beside the virtuous concubine in silence, and Yun Wan looked at her a few more times.
As if sensing something, the eldest princess looked over.
Yun Wan: "I didn't expect the virtuous concubine to come with the eldest princess. I haven't had time to prepare any gifts yet. I don't know what the princess likes. I'll have someone pick some for her."
The eldest princess was stunned and she subconsciously looked at Concubine Xian.
The other party didn't say anything, indicating that she should make her own decision.
The eldest princess then told Yun Wan the truth: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I don't usually have any hobbies, so Your Majesty doesn't need to prepare anything special for me."
She looked quiet and elegant, and Yun Wan couldn't help but think of Lu Changning, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. They were of the same age.
Before she could speak, Huipin said, "I see that the princess has fair skin and wears plain clothes. Your Majesty, why don't you give her some jewelry?"
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the eldest princess.
Logically speaking, as the first child and only princess of Emperor Jingxuan, she should have been raised to be somewhat spoiled.
The eldest princess is different. She doesn't look spoiled at all and doesn't wear many jewelries. I think it's because of her upbringing by the virtuous concubine and the influence of her mother.
"Alright." Yun Wan turned around and ordered, "Go to the storehouse and pick out some jewelry and fabrics suitable for the little girl and give them to the princess."
After a while, the palace maids brought the selected jewelry to the eldest princess.
The eldest princess looked at each item one by one, then paused and focused her gaze on a hairpin.
Following her gaze, Yun Wan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Princess, do you like red coral?"
