Chapter 1161 The Reality of Husband and Wife
Light streamed through the windowpanes, casting slivers of light, and in the bright areas, tiny dust motes could be seen floating.
The sun was already high in the sky, but there was still no movement inside the room.
Qingxing, Qi'er, and several other maids waited a few meters away from the door, exchanging silent glances. If they weren't mistaken, their young mistress and master had consummated their marriage.
This seems too fast, yet so natural, but people are not ready yet.
What are you all standing there for?
Granny Fang strolled over, her small steps suggesting that the young maidservant, with her delicate features, probably had no experience with matters of the bedroom.
"Granny Fang, Miss hasn't gotten up yet."
Qingxing deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Should we go in and take a look?"
Last night, there was a rustling sound coming from inside the room. Qingxing and Qi'er had good hearing, and they thought a thief had broken in, so they were about to rush in.
Before they could make a move, they were stopped by the master's bodyguards, who quickly cleared the area.
Excluded, Qingxing and Qi'er didn't sleep well all night. For the first time, they had a long talk by candlelight, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.
The feeling is indescribable, like a cabbage you raised yourself being bitten by a pig.
Unfortunately, this pig was quite powerful, and Qingxing Qi'er dared not stop him, so she had no choice but to bow down to the evil forces.
This is the young lady's first time, and it seems the master is too. What if he doesn't hold back and hurts the young lady?
"You can call her 'Miss' for now, but you must change your address after the coronation ceremony."
Granny Fang, in her affected manner, was still nitpicking the rules of the maids.
The young lady and her master consummated their marriage; this is a good thing, a joyous occasion.
The master is already in his twenties, and the young lady is already eighteen. After being married for several years, are they supposed to remain chaste? They're not monks and nuns.
There's a certain charm to such things, which unmarried women don't understand.
"Alright, stop standing around here. Prepare hot water for washing up and bathing, and meals."
I tossed and turned all night and didn't fall asleep until dawn, so I didn't wake up that early.
Granny Fang, being experienced, estimated that it would be past noon at the earliest. She couldn't help but sigh, "The Lord is still young and impetuous."
Lin Yuesha slept soundly until it was getting dark. She rubbed her eyes and asked sleepily, "Isn't it dawn yet?"
The sun is about to set.
Qi Heng had already woken up, feeling refreshed, and was lying on the bed, propping his head up and turning to observe his wife's sleeping face.
The little girl was fed by him and probably had a sweet dream. She murmured in her sleep and then turned over, turning her back to him.
After waiting and hoping for several years, he finally got his hands on her and felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
What are you doing in my bed?
Lin Yuesha sat up abruptly in bed, her mind still reeling. The silk quilt slipped off, revealing bruises and welts all over her body. She had been beaten up last night.
"It seems I have failed in my duty as a husband."
Qi Heng raised an eyebrow. Wasn't it perfectly normal for him to appear on his wife's bed?
"ah!"
Lin Yuesha moved her body and found that she felt as if she had been run over, and the pain was unbearable, especially in her private parts that she couldn't talk about.
Memories surfaced in her mind little by little. She had been fast asleep last night when Qi Heng suddenly appeared. Lin Yuesha thought that Qi Heng was leaving the capital and had come to say goodbye to her.
The couple discussed the flooding in the south, then looked at Xiao Qiuyue's new storybook, and then...
Lin Yuesha had imagined her wedding night countless times, but there were neither flowers nor candles. Before she could even teach Qi Heng a lesson, she was devoured by a hungry wolf!
Mother was right. No matter how restrained a man is, he will stumble in this kind of thing. Qi Heng is no exception.
After a night of tossing and turning, Lin Yuesha's back ached, so she simply covered her head with the blanket, unable to face Qi Heng.
"My wife, it's getting late."
After Qi Heng got up, he ordered food and hot water from Granny Fang who was waiting outside. Knowing that Lin Yuesha was shy, he had to do the hard work, carrying several buckets of water to the washroom.
"Get out!"
Lin Yuesha was not only shy, but also indignant about the failure of her plan.
"Should I go out and have Qingxing and Qi'er come in to serve me?"
Qi Heng pretended to go out, but before he reached the door, Lin Yuesha called out to him, "How can I face anyone looking like this? Come and carry me inside!"
"I would be delighted."
Qi Heng helped his wife take off her clothes, then picked her up and put her into the bathtub.
The bath tub was brought over from the palace at his order in the afternoon, and it was large enough to accommodate several people for washing.
In front of Lin Yuesha, Qi Heng casually took off his clothes and entered the bathtub.
"Don't come in!"
Lin Yuesha dodged backward, but lost her balance and staggered in the water. Qi Heng quickly stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.
"So last night wasn't enough, my wife wants to throw herself into my arms!"
After Qi Heng finished speaking, the flames in his eyes quickly shot upwards. His whole body was burning hot, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Seeing this, Lin Yuesha did not avoid him but instead snuggled into Qi Heng's arms and said, "Husband, I was too tired last night and just wanted to get a good night's sleep."
The meaning was clear: it was impossible for Qi Heng to eat meat again, and any further action would be disregarding her feelings.
"good."
Qi Heng's voice was hoarse and his body was tense. He tried to shift his gaze to one side and dared not make any further movements.
After finally finishing washing up, Lin Yuesha took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to Qi Heng, asking him to help apply the medicine.
"This is……"
Qi Heng's eyelids twitched; he had a bad feeling. His wife had found a way to torment him, and she seemed to enjoy it immensely.
"Jade Dew".
Lin Yuesha didn't explain further. Even if Qi Heng was a novice, he had definitely read a lot of forbidden books and novels. After his initial awkwardness, he seemed quite proficient.
Is there anything Qi Heng doesn't understand?
"good."
After applying the medicine, Qi Heng fled in panic. He was now eager to take a cold shower to reduce the burning sensation.
No sooner had Qi Heng left than Granny Fang led a group of maids into the room, her eyes gleaming with gossip.
It's no wonder the maids were anxious. Lin Yuesha herself had begun to suspect that Qi Heng had some kind of problem, but last night, she had received confirmation that her husband was indeed exceptionally gifted.
"As you can see, everything that was meant to happen has happened."
Lin Yuesha preemptively said, "I'm hungry."
Having not eaten or drunk anything all day and having exhausted herself, Lin Yuesha was starving.
Supported by Qingxing, Lin Yuesha ate three large bowls of white rice in the outer hall before regaining some strength.
In the sixth month of the lunar calendar, it is the hottest time in the capital. In the evening, there is only a slight cool breeze, and the sky is full of fiery red sunset.
The servants in the manor set up a mosquito-proof tent with light gauze in the pavilion in the lake and put out a small couch for overnight stays. Qi Heng asked for a small boat and took Lin Yuesha to cruise the lake.
The lake was filled with lotus flowers planted by the King of Luo, their fragrance filling the air, and occasionally fish would leap out of the water.
On the fishing boat, a dim lamp was placed, and the couple sat facing each other, enjoying the scenery while drinking a cup of cool tea to beat the heat.
