Chapter 047

Jiashan's voice was gentle, and even though there was no deliberateness in it, the sweetness in that "Yanqing" still filled Zhan Yue's heart in an instant.

He looked at Jiashan and asked quietly, "What are you calling me for?"

"Yanqing." Jiashan didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She said generously, "Do I still have to call you Sir after we get married?"

"No." Zhan Yue said calmly, "Calling Yan Qing is good."

Jiashan just smiled.

In fact, Zhan Yue's reaction on the wedding night was not what Jia Shan expected. He was obviously quite domineering when he did those "shameless" things before.

How come after getting married, she became so shy?

Shy in a way that was totally unlike him.

Jiashan looked at him and actually felt a little happy. Zhan Yue's look made Jiashan's heart relax gradually.

Jiashan glanced at him and said with a smile, "Suyu Dancui and the others are waiting in the cubicle next to me. I will just call them to remove my makeup for me. Why bother calling others?"

Zhan Yue nodded and agreed with Jia Shan's opinion: "Okay. They are used to serving you."

After saying this, he slowly stood up from the bed. Zhan Yue was tall, with a pair of typical peach blossom eyes that seemed to bend slightly.

His Adam's apple moved slightly, and he said slowly, "I'll go to the next room to wash up, and then come back to have dinner with you."

After saying this, Zhan Yue seemed a little afraid to see Jia Shan. The corners of his eyes drooped slightly and he didn't look at her again.

"Hello--"

When Zhan Yue turned around and was about to leave, Jia Shan suddenly called him. Her voice was clear and the tone of her voice seemed to be very far away from Zhan Yue, but it also seemed so close.

Zhan Yue paused, and his back looked very stiff.

Jiashan looked at him carefully for a while and let out a long breath. She walked over, raised her head and looked at Zhan Yue. She whispered, "Do you still remember why you married me?"

Jiashan's face was as white as jade, and with the slight intoxication from drinking, she looked like a sweet-looking beauty. Zhan Yue's tongue and heart felt dry for a while.

He replied without blinking: "I want to give you support."

"Yes." Jiashan nodded and responded. She helped Zhan Yue tie the belt on his collar again and said with a low smile, "I married you because you said you would protect me. It was also so that we could each have arms to rely on."

Jiashan raised her eyes, her pupils sparkling, and she said, "This is the reason why you married me and I married you. If this marriage becomes a bondage for you today, it would be the most inappropriate thing."

"Is that right?" Jiashan tilted her head and asked in a long tone.

Zhan Yue lowered his head and looked at Jia Shan deeply, with an irresistible tenderness in his eyes. He nodded, but the tip of his tongue was numb, and he said, "Yes."

Jiashan smiled and said, "I'll wait for you to come back after washing up."

The two of them were close in breath. Because it was a wedding, Jiashan had put on perfume powder today. When she raised her face, a refreshing scent of bergamot instantly filled her nose. She looked dignified yet charming, fresh and pleasant.

Zhan Yue couldn't help but take a deep breath, then he turned his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay."

When Zhan Yue came back after washing up, Jiashan had taken off her Fengguanxiapai, leaving only a cinnabar double-breasted upper garment on her upper body. She was wearing a magenta horse-faced skirt with gold embroidery on the hem of her skirt, which was a gift from Madam Pei.

Nanny Zheng had already brought the food up, and in the compartment, Su Yu was making the mattress.

Seeing Zhan Yue coming back, Madam Zheng said kindly, "Princess Consort, please come and have some with us."

Zhan Yue nodded, said "thank you for your hard work", and then sat down next to Jiashan. While the two of them were having dinner together, Su Yu also made the bed. Jiashan's dowry included a quilt embroidered with dragons and phoenixes. This was specially added by Emperor Zhang He for Jiashan, also for the sake of good luck. Su Yu was busy with this quilt just now.

Seeing that Su Yu had finished her work and the princess and her husband had finished their meal, Madam Zheng tactfully directed people to clean up the table. She smiled and said, "Your Highness, go to bed early."

Jiashan's face turned slightly red.

Dan Cui was still standing there in a daze, not knowing what was going on. Nanny Zheng then teamed up with Su Yu to drag Dan Cui out.

In an instant, there was no one else in the room.

Certain things that are about to happen seem obvious.

Jiashan lowered her head, cleared her throat, and asked softly, "Have you finished eating?"

"I've used a little when I was outside." Half of Zhan Yue's face was hidden under the dragon and phoenix candle and could not be seen clearly.

Only that slightly hoarse voice emerged in Jiashan's ears, clear and unforgettable.

He stared at Jiashan quietly for a moment. The flickering candlelight that night seemed to add a lot of ambiguity to the atmosphere.

Zhan Yue seemed to feel a little hot, so he loosened his shirt a little. He turned his head slightly, clenched his knuckles a little, and said a little unnaturally: "Tonight, I'll sleep in the cubicle."

Jiashan was stunned, and suddenly looked up at him, with tears in her eyes.
