Chapter 304: Studious
The bridal chamber was packed with people. Through the red veil, Lin Hao could only see pairs of shoes, some delicate and some light. One of the pairs of boots belonged to Qi Shuo, needless to say.
The boots Ah Shuo is wearing today are really crisp.
Lin Hao's mind was dizzy. Just as this irrelevant thought flashed through his mind, he felt a light flash in front of his eyes and his veil was lifted up.
The sudden change in light made her look up subconsciously and narrow her almond-shaped eyes slightly.
What came into view was the groom who was obviously stunned.
The man's wife couldn't stand it and reminded him, "Prince, Princess, it's time to drink the wedding wine."
The Crown Prince is usually so calm and composed, but he could actually stare at his new bride with his eyes fixed on her. No wonder people say that the Crown Prince and his wife are childhood sweethearts and are very close.
Quanfu brought a pair of wine glasses connected by red silk.
Qi Shuo and Lin Hao each held up a glass of wine, intertwined their arms, brought the glass in their hands to each other's lips, and drank the wine from the cup.
Afterwards, Qi Shuo went to the front to toast, and the people crowded in the bridal chamber also retreated, leaving Baozhu to help Lin Hao take off her heavy and cumbersome ornaments and put her hair into a loose bun again.
Lin Hao gently moved his stiff neck, wishing he could just collapse on the large and soft wedding bed.
"Miss, you must be tired. Drink some water first." Baozhu brought a glass of warm water.
Lin Hao took it and took a few sips, and then there was a light knock on the door.
Qi Qiong's voice came from outside the door: "Ah Hao, I brought you some food."
Baozhu hurried to welcome the little princess in and took the tray from her hand.
On the tray was a bowl of soft and glutinous red bean porridge and a small plate of red cherries.
"You must be starving after not eating for a day. I heard that they ate light meals for two days before the wedding. I didn't dare to bring you meat, so I just filled my stomach with a bowl of red bean porridge."
"Thank you, my lord."
Qi Qiong smiled and said, "You should call me sister. Oh, I can't call you Ah Hao either, I have to call you sister-in-law. By the way, this plate of red cherries was specially sent to me by my eldest brother. Sister-in-law, you should eat more."
After delivering the food, Qi Qiong didn't stay long and said goodbye with a smile.
Lin Hao picked up the porridge and ate it spoonful by spoonful.
The soft, sticky red bean porridge was sweetened with sugar, making it just the right warmth for the mouth. After finishing a bowl, Lin Hao suddenly felt refreshed and picked up a red agate-like cherry and put it in his mouth.
Cherries are only on the market at this time of year, and such sweet cherries are truly rare. She finished the whole plate of cherries without realizing it, rinsed her mouth again, and sat upright on the wedding bed waiting for Qi Shuo to come back.
The waiting time is always agonizing, with each moment seemingly stretched out infinitely, making one anxious and unbearable. At the same time, the gaps between these emotions are filled with joy and anticipation.
Lin Hao felt that this emotion was unfamiliar and strange, and his eyes were fixed on the door.
Ah Shuo hasn't come back yet, hasn't come back yet, hasn't come back yet...
Finally, a red figure appeared at the door, and Lin Hao's eyes lit up instantly.
The jade-like cheeks of the person at the door were stained red, which was due to alcohol and joy.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" He walked to Lin Hao and held her hand.
"It's a bit long."
The girl in gorgeous attire complained with a bit of unconscious coquettishness, causing the man in bright red wedding clothes to stare at her in amazement.
Thump, thump, he heard his own rapid heartbeat.
"I'll go wash up first." Qi Shuo took a deep breath and walked quickly to the bathroom.
Lin Hao was also helped by Baozhu to take off her complicated and gorgeous wedding dress, and after taking a bath, she changed into a new set of inner clothes.
When Qi Shuo walked in, he saw a woman in a bright red middle dress sitting quietly on the wedding bed, her almond eyes looking at him with a smile.
He paused, then quickened his pace and sat down next to her.
Baozhu quietly retreated.
Only two people were left in the bridal chamber, staring at each other, while the dragon and phoenix wedding candles burned quietly.
Neither of them wore outer clothes, and their loose and soft red undergarments touched each other, like two balls of fire colliding, splashing invisible sparks.
The temperature in the room suddenly became hot.
Qi Shuo felt like he wanted to say something.
"Are you still hungry? Do you want some more snacks?"
Lin Hao shook his head: "I'm not hungry anymore. I just had red bean porridge and cherries."
“Are the cherries sweet?”
"Sweet." When mentioning this, the corners of Lin Hao's lips couldn't help but curl up.
Qi Shuo's eyes flickered, and he felt that nothing was sweeter than her smile.
"Are you tired?"
"Yeah." Lin Hao tightened her soft shirt with her hands on her knees.
It seems like it’s time to take a break. Ah Shuo also read the booklet last night... right?
He was totally out of control, and the scenes in the booklet flashed through his mind like a kaleidoscope, and Lin Hao's face turned red.
"Then go to bed early."
The man beside her raised his hand to lower the red gauze curtain, and took her in his arms to lie on the wedding bed. The spacious wedding bed suddenly seemed cramped because of the two people lying on it.
Lin Hao stared at the golden hook on the top of the tent, feeling deeply puzzled: Is that it?
She tilted her head slightly and met a pair of deep eyes.
"A Shuo?"
"Yeah." He responded softly.
Originally, Lin Hao was shy and nervous, but the man next to her seemed even more nervous than her, like a stupid wooden stake.
She suddenly stopped being nervous and even felt relaxed enough to tease him.
"A Shuo, have you seen that?"
"Which one?"
Lin Hao supported his chin with one hand, a smile on his lips: "Everyone will watch it before getting married, you must have seen it, so -"
Before he could finish what he was saying, he was stopped by the other person's kiss.
He turned over, held her head with one hand, and pressed her hard against him.
Lin Hao was caught off guard until that passionate kiss ended—no, it wasn't over yet...
The red bed curtains blocked the spring light inside, and the moon in the sky hid in the clouds. Only the insects kept chirping, and the noise became louder and louder as if they were competing with each other.
After a long time, a man's somewhat hoarse voice came from the tent: "I've seen it, and I've learned it. Don't worry..."
"A Shuo!"
The chirping of insects became louder.
Daybreak soon arrived.
When Lin Hao woke up, he saw Qi Shuo dressed neatly, holding a book in his hand, but he was not reading it.
As if noticing her gaze, he looked over and said, "It's still early, you can sleep a little longer."
Lin Hao pursed her dry lips and looked at him.
He was wearing a crimson robe with a jade belt fastened neatly around his waist. Perhaps he had just washed his face, as his fair face was like the snow on the mountain top. Although he was smiling, he had a cold and lonely feeling.
Lin Hao rolled his eyes rudely.
Last night she was deceived by this guy who looked like a human but was not very smart. He looked like a well-behaved person, but she didn't expect that he could do anything!
He knows everything!
Not knowing what he was thinking about, Lin Hao pulled up the quilt to cover his face.
"Ah Hao——"
Lin Hao curled up in the quilt and refused to come out.
He felt ashamed when he thought that she had tried to tease him last night.
The quilt was suddenly thrown back, and the person sitting next to him looked gloomy: "Maybe... it's not a big deal to be late for the tea..."
Lin Hao sat up suddenly, pushing him and shouting, "Baozhu, quickly bring me the clothes you're going to wear today!"
