Chapter 231 Husband and Wife



The night deepens.

The wedding banquet outside was coming to an end.

Gu Jiu took a nap and ate something, and now he felt refreshed.

Wang Yi had been guarding the gate of the courtyard. When he saw Gongzi Zhao from afar, he hurried to the bridal chamber to report.

"Madam, the young master is here."

Nanny Fang quickly reminded Qingmei to give the phoenix crown to Gu Jiu.

Wearing the phoenix crown and the bright red wedding dress, Gu Jiu sat upright at the head of the bed, and turned into the dignified and beautiful bride again.

There were chaotic footsteps outside, and in a blink of an eye, the door of the new house was pushed open from the outside, and Liu Zhao came in.

"Hello, sir."

Nanny Fang led four maids to pay their respects to Liu Zhao.

Liu Zhao's eyes swept over the faces of the five people one by one, "Well done, serve the Madam well, and you will all be rewarded."

"Thank you for the reward, sir."

Nanny Fang arranged for someone to bring hot water.

Qingmei wanted to help Liu Zhao wash his face, but was stopped by Nanny Fang.

"It's getting late, Master and Madam, please go to bed early. The servants will be guarding outside. If you need anything, just call me, Master and Madam."

After that, Nanny Fang took the lead and led several maids out of the bridal chamber, taking Lin Shuping and the others away.

It was so inconsiderate of the servants to wait by the newlyweds' first night.

Hurry up, stand further away.

Liu Zhao sat down at the head of the bed, next to Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu felt hot and moved slightly.

Liu Zhao stared at her with a wolf-like look, as if he wanted to eat her.

He opened his collar, drank the wine, and felt hot all over.

Gu Jiu was defeated by Liu Zhao's eyes and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Liu Zhao's voice was low, a little hoarse, and had a hint of alcohol in it.

"It's getting late, hurry up and wash up."

Gu Jiu said, "I've already washed it, you can wash it yourself."

Liu Zhao stretched out his hands and looked at Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu asked him, "What are you doing?"

Liu Zhao said as a matter of course: "You help me wash."

"I don't know how to serve others." Gu Jiu said as a matter of course.

Liu Zhao frowned, "Didn't your nanny teach you when you were at your mother's house?"

Gu Jiu squinted at Liu Zhao and said, "Mammy taught me the rules, but she didn't teach me how to serve others."

Little fox, you're talking nonsense again. It's impossible for Mammy not to teach you this.

Liu Zhao withdrew his hands and moved closer to Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu frowned and fell backwards.

A strong smell of alcohol hits you in the face.

She looked disgusted and waved her hand to fan him, "How much have you drunk?"

Liu Zhao stared at Gu Jiu with a deep gaze, his eyes shining. "I didn't drink much, only about a pound."

Gu Jiu was secretly amazed, he really had a good alcohol tolerance.

She said, "You are drunk. I will send someone to wait on you."

"Don't call anyone."

Liu Zhao grabbed Gu Jiu's hand and prevented her from moving.

Facing the drunkard, Gu Jiu was a little nervous, "How are you going to rest tonight if you're like this?"

Liu Zhao smiled softly and brushed Gu Jiu's lips with his fingertips. Gu Jiu became even more nervous.

"Are you worried?" Liu Zhao asked in his ear.

Warm breath sprayed on Gu Jiu's ears.

Gu Jiu felt his ears burning.

She continued to fall back, "I'm not worried."

"You are so cruel that you don't even worry about your husband."

After Liu Zhao finished speaking, he started laughing. He was clearly teasing Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu pushed him but failed to push him away.

Her waist felt sore, and if she leaned back like that, her waist would surely break.

"Move aside, don't get so close."

Not only did Liu Zhao not retreat, but he moved closer to her.

He said righteously, "We are husband and wife, we should be this close. Besides, I don't think we are close enough now."

The smell of alcohol made Gu Jiu a little flustered.

"Get out of the way first and go wash up to get rid of the smell of alcohol. I don't like you like this."

Liu Zhao laughed silently and suddenly attacked, lightly pecking Gu Jiu's lips, leaving behind the aroma of daughter's red wine.

Without waiting for Gu Jiu to react, he stood up, turned around the screen, and went into the bathroom to wash up.

Gu Jiu quickly sat up and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Pat your cheeks. Why are they hot?

She was a little flustered.

Although she had prepared herself mentally and thought of various possibilities, when the real fight came, she still couldn't help but feel panicked.

What should she do when Liu Zhao comes out?

Otherwise she would go to sleep first.

What bridal chamber, what wedding night, oh oh oh, let’s talk about it later.

When she thought about lying face to face with Liu Zhao and sharing the same bed with him, she felt a little overwhelmed and her mind went blank.

Lack of experience is fatal.

No matter how many books, TV shows, or movies you read, if you don’t experience it yourself, you’re bound to panic.

Gu Jiu threw the phoenix crown away, climbed onto the bed timidly, and hid in the innermost part.

She kept her ears perked up, listening to the movements in the room.

The heavy footsteps gradually approached. As expected, he had drunk too much and his steps were a little unsteady.

She opened her eyes a little and looked out of the bed.

Liu Zhao finished washing up, with a few drops of water still hanging on his hair, and he was wearing a single piece of clothing.

The single garment sticks to her body, showing off her good figure.

This man is really rich.

Just as Gu Jiu was expressing his emotion, he heard Liu Zhao's laughter.

Liu Zhao smiled and said, "I didn't expect Xiao Jiu to be so enthusiastic."

Gu Jiu said arrogantly, "Nonsense! I, I have something to tell you."

"You say." Liu Zhao sat down at the head of the bed, leaning sideways, staring at Gu Jiu with deep eyes.

Gu Jiu bit the quilt, and under Liu Zhao's gaze, he finally whispered: "I have a period, and I am not feeling well. You should find another place to rest tonight."

Liu Zhao raised his eyebrows, "Is it really inconvenient?"

Gu Jiu nodded repeatedly, "How could I hide this kind of thing from you?"

Liu Zhao smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll stay here tonight. I don't mind."

Who cares whether you dislike it or not?

Gu Jiu bit her lip, feeling conflicted. "That would be terrible. What if it gets dirty? It would be unlucky."

Liu Zhao got on the bed quickly and said, "I told you, I don't mind. You've been tired all day, go to sleep."

Gu Jiu stared at him, "Do you really want to sleep with me?"

Liu Zhao leaned closer, and Gu Jiu pulled up the quilt, feeling guilty.

"We are husband and wife, do you want me to sleep in the yard?"

Gu Jiu shook his head, "You can sleep on the floor."

Liu Zhao lowered his head and smiled, then his face darkened. "I can see that you really do dislike me."

Gu Jiu remained silent.

"But I don't despise you, so just accept your fate."

After saying that, Liu Zhao lay down.

For the first time in his life, Gu Jiu felt uncomfortable lying on the same bed with the same person and covered with the same quilt.

She was trying hard to adapt to her new identity, but she really had no way to deal with matters like marital relations. She was in a difficult situation.

Gu Jiu tried hard to fall asleep, but couldn't.

She simply turned over and faced her head inside, out of sight and out of mind.

Since I'm already married, I can only adapt as quickly as possible.

The light in the room dimmed.

Two candles went out.

Gu Jiu was in a daze and felt a weight on his body and a hand pressing on his waist.

She came to her senses, realized that the situation was not good, and her whole body tensed up.

She quickly took Liu Zhao's hand away and yelled at him fiercely, "Don't move."

Liu Zhao was right behind her, and the distance between the two of them had already been infinitely shortened.

Liu Zhao asked from behind her, "Why am I moving around so much? Is it this way or that way?"

"Don't mess around."

Gu Jiu was so nervous that his voice changed.

"Shh! Don't scream, or the servants might hear you." Liu Zhao bit Gu Jiu's ear, "You little rascal, you really think you can fool me."

"you……"

Before he could finish his words, Gu Jiu's lips were blocked.

Afterwards, it was already midnight.

Gu Jiu felt so regretful.

She hid in the quilt, ignoring the marks on her body, and she was still very beautiful.

She stared at Liu Zhao fiercely, calling him a big liar.

Liu Zhao looked very satisfied. He stretched out his big hand and hugged Gu Jiu in his arms.

Gu Jiu struggled, trying to stay away from him.

"Don't move."

Liu Zhao's voice was hoarse, revealing a dangerous signal.

Gu Jiu realized something and didn't dare to move.

She felt a little aggrieved, a little angry, a little irritated, but more of all exhausted, she was exhausted.

"Let me go. I need to go to the bathroom to wash up. I have to get up early tomorrow morning."

Liu Zhao asked with concern: "Can you still move?"

Gu Jiu was furious. The culprit had the nerve to ask her if she could move.

Without saying a word, Gu Jiu opened his mouth and bit Liu Zhao's arm.

Liu Zhao smiled complacently, "Bite harder, it would be best if it leaves a mark."

Gu Jiu was furious. "You're relying on your toughness to make me angry?"

Liu Zhao gently stroked Gu Jiu's cheek and pushed the loose hair behind her ears. "I'm really exhausted."

Gu Jiu rolled his eyes at him.

Liu Zhao suppressed a smile and said, "I told you not to be stubborn, but you insisted on being stubborn. Don't do that next time."

"You still say that! Believe it or not, I will kick you off the bed."

"I don't believe it."

Gu Jiu used all her strength to kick Liu Zhao hard, and she actually kicked Liu Zhao off the bed.

Liu Zhao lay on the ground, supporting his body with one hand, feeling extremely embarrassed.

This woman actually kicked him off the bed. This is murdering your own husband, you know.

As a man, it's so embarrassing.

The eunuch heard the noise outside and knocked on the door and asked, "Master, is there anything wrong?"

Liu Zhao shouted angrily, "Don't worry! Get away from me, young master."

Of course, I can’t let the servants know about such an embarrassing thing as being kicked off the bed by my wife.

Liu Zhao was so angry that he started to think of a hundred and eight ways to deal with it.

Gu Jiu rolled up his clothes and quickly climbed out of bed.

Liu Zhao was still naked.

Gu Jiu glanced around quickly, with a look of pride on his face, snorted, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Liu Zhao lay on the ground, and suddenly he stopped being angry and started laughing quietly.

How could he marry such a woman with so many bad habits?

She doesn't know how to serve others, doesn't know how to be gentle, is arrogant and has a bad temper, and even dares to kick her husband.

After counting, there are indeed quite a few problems.

After Liu Zhao laughed, a sense of satisfaction overflowed from his heart.

He grinned like a silly boy.

He lay down on the bed, recalling the previous feeling, but his ears were listening to the movement in the bathroom.

Guessing it was about time, he followed her into the bathroom with his clothes.

Gu Jiu yelled angrily, "How did you get in? Get out!"

Like Master Liu Zhao, he stepped into the pool and said, "I'm not going out."

Gu Jiu snorted and narrowed his eyes. "I've already seen it. There's nothing interesting. I'll go out first."

Gu Jiu stood up, put on a towel, and walked out of the bathroom.

Liu Zhao died!

He looked down at himself, wondering what it meant to have nothing to see.

He didn't see the point?

What's that look, little rascal?

He originally wanted to provoke Gu Jiu, but ended up losing more than he gained, and ended up being provoked instead.

When he finished washing up and returned to the bed, Gu Jiu was already lying down, breathing deeply, obviously asleep.

Liu Zhao was very decisive. He reached out, put his arm around Gu Jiu, let her lie in his arms, extinguished the candle, and went to sleep.

In the dark night, Gu Jiu opened his eyes, smelled the strange yet familiar smell, changed to a more comfortable position, and then closed his eyes.

This time, she really fell asleep quickly.

Liu Zhao smiled silently.

This sleep was extremely sweet.

It was dawn on Mama Genius, and Qingmei was knocking on the door outside.

Gu Jiu slept soundly, mainly because he was too tired in the past few days and had not had a good night's sleep.

She didn't even hear the knock on the door.

"Stop knocking. Don't disturb the lady's rest."

Liu Zhao woke up early in the morning. He had developed a biological clock, and no matter how late he went to bed, he would wake up before dawn every day.

After waking up, he didn't move and continued sleeping with his arms around Gu Jiu.

It is very tiring to maintain a posture for a long time.

Liu Zhao did not feel tired, but was addicted to it.

When he heard the maid knocking on the door endlessly, he started to scold her.

Qingmei whispered outside the door, "I have to go serve tea to the prince and princess soon. If I get up too late, I won't be able to make it in time."

Liu Zhao said simply, "No problem. I'll take care of everything."

Qingmei wanted to say more but was stopped by Nanny Fang.

"Shh, stop talking. Madam has been exhausted these past two days, so let her sleep a little longer."

Qingmei was worried, "But the prince and princess will gossip if we are late."

Nanny Fang said, "Wait for Madam to get up in a bit. If you all move quickly, you won't be late."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Mammy."

Nanny Fang added, "Don't worry. Everyone should be happy. It's a good thing that the young master cares about the lady."

Qingmei thought about it and realized that it was true.

She smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the young master would care about others."

"Who says it isn't?"

Liu Zhao kept delaying time until he could no longer delay, and then he woke up Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu got up in a bad mood and slapped Liu Zhao in the face.

Bang!

The slap landed accurately on Liu Zhao's face.

Liu Zhao narrowed his eyes.

Woman, haha, good, very good.

I was kicked out of bed last night and slapped again this morning.

Liu Zhao had a stern face, looking intimidating without even getting angry.

Is this woman Gu Jiu trying to cause trouble?

Looking back, he had to uphold his authority as a man.

Gu Jiu opened his eyes from his sleep, still a little confused.

She first looked at her sleeping posture and wiped the corner of her mouth. Fortunately, she didn't drool while sleeping.

Then she looked at Liu Zhao, who had a dark face early in the morning. What did that mean? She didn't have a dark face, so what right did Liu Zhao have to have a dark face?

Gu Jiu didn't take it seriously and asked casually, "Who irritated you so early in the morning? Or are you always like this when you wake up?"

Liu Zhao said nothing.

Gu Jiu got up and stretched, feeling sleepy and uncomfortable.

She was about to get out of bed, but Liu Zhao stopped her.

She glanced at the other person and decided not to provoke him with a sullen face.

She was about to crawl over, but unexpectedly, she encountered a nefarious hand halfway and fell on Liu Zhao.

"Let me go! It's already bright outside, I have to get up quickly."

"Think carefully, what did you do when you woke up?"

Liu Zhao saw through this heartless little scoundrel. If he hadn't reminded her, she would definitely not have thought of the slap she would give her.

Gu Jiu looked innocent, "What did I do? How would I know?"

Liu Zhao's eyebrows twitched twice, and he pointed at his cheek, "Did you remember?"

Gu Jiu was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and finally realized it.

"I didn't mean to do that."

I know you didn't do it on purpose. If you did, I would have...

Liu Zhao had not yet decided what to do with Gu Jiu.

The heartless little scoundrel could drive him to death in just one night.

Liu Zhao took a deep breath and said, "Get up. I will go and serve tea to my father and mother."

Gu Jiu asked, "Father, will Mother embarrass me?"

Liu Zhao asked in return: "Are you worried about being embarrassed?"

Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, "With you here, I'm naturally not worried."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Zhao's heart suddenly burst into joy. He threw all his anger and thoughts of strengthening his husband's authority aside.

He said with a straight face and pretended to be serious, "Be strict with the rules and don't let people find any mistakes."

Gu Jiu rolled his eyes at him and said, "I know. Don't be so serious. It doesn't look good. I'll ask the maid to come in."

Liu Zhao was very upset.

Gu Jiu rang the bell at the door. Qingmei and the others heard the noise and came in with hot water to serve him.

Afterwards, the eunuch Lin Shuping led several maids from the palace and came in to serve.

Those maids had been serving Liu Zhao all year round and were very familiar with his habits.

Not only that, they moved quickly and gently, and provided very considerate service.

Qingmei and the others, seeing that they were being outperformed by the other party, also quickened their pace, determined to catch up.

Gu Jiu quietly reminded, "No need to compare yourself with others, take your time, don't rush. Just in case you make mistakes in a hurry."

Qingmei nodded slightly, "Madam, would you like to wear red or pink today?"

Gu Jiu didn't even think about it and said directly: "Red, light makeup. Are you ready?"

"Don't worry, Madam. We've already prepared it last night. We've also prepared three hundred purses for rewards. According to Nanny Fang's suggestion, the first-class reward is two taels, the second-class reward is one tael, and the third-class reward is five hundred coins."

Gu Jiu smiled softly at the mirror, "I didn't expect that the royal family's rewards to servants are more generous than those of other families."

This is definitely inflation, there is not enough money to spend.
