Chapter 309: Extra 2: After the Marriage (Part 1)
After all, Fu Yi had just woken up not long ago, and no one thought of asking him to entertain the guests.
He and Cheng Nianying came to the new house, which was no longer the same room as before. Fu Yi set up the new house in his bedroom.
They still drank the wedding wine according to the custom.
Cheng Nianying's nose twitched: "Yours smells of alcohol, but mine doesn't."
It's completely the opposite of the last time.
Fu Yi confessed, "At that time, I didn't think you would be my wife. I didn't want to drink from the wedding cup with you, so I replaced it with water. I said I was sick and couldn't drink, but that was just an excuse."
After he finished speaking, he immediately added: "Now I really want to have a wedding ceremony with Ying and grow old together."
Cheng Nianying immediately said, "Then I want to drink too."
"Aying can't drink right now."
"Even rice wine is not allowed?"
"Yes, I asked Imperial Physician Tong early this morning."
Cheng Nianying couldn't hide her disappointment and drank the water in one gulp.
Fortunately, Fu Yi quickly diverted her attention.
Fu Yi used a pair of scissors to cut a lock of hair from each of them and tied them together with soft silk-like gold.
Cheng Nianying found it interesting and immediately reached out to touch it: "Gold?"
Fu Yi responded: "Well, gold is eternal and better than ribbon."
Cheng Nianying's eyes lit up slightly and she couldn't let go of it and started playing with it.
At night.
The two of them lay down with their clothes on.
Cheng Nianying was still a little unsure. She reached out her hand, grabbed Fu Yi's face, and asked, "Do you really remember it?"
"Yes, Aying, do you want to test me?"
Cheng Nianying pondered for a moment: "Once, you saw me holding a kitchen knife in the Marquis of Wuning's mansion. Later, when we returned to the Prince's mansion, you asked me what I was doing with it. Were you teasing me on purpose at that time?"
Fu Yi choked.
Why are you bringing up old issues?
He said helplessly: "...Yes. I don't know your origins, so I'm just testing you."
The word "test" is a serious one, while "tease" seems much more informal.
Fu Yi settled the old scores himself.
"Oh." Cheng Nianying closed her eyes.
After a while, she placed her hand on Fu Yi with some uneasiness and turned slightly to the side.
Fu Yi quickly held her waist.
"Do you remember everything?" Cheng Nianying asked.
Fu Yi responded patiently: "Well, Ah Ying, what else do you want to ask me?"
There's no harm in bringing up old matters.
"Why were you in the closet as a child? Who locked you up?"
Fu Yi was startled when he heard the voice.
Cheng Nianying said, "I really wanted to ask you when you first woke up, but you lost your memory."
"How did you..."
"I went to Prince Kang's Mansion and took away all the utensils and furniture you used as a child."
Fu Yi's heart was slightly beating. He smiled and asked, "What was Ah Ying thinking at that time?"
"Miss you."
The word "light and fluttering" made Fu Yi lose his voice.
Fu Yi moved his palm to the back of Cheng Nianying's head and pressed her deeper into his arms: "When I woke up, I didn't seem to hear Ah Ying say that."
"You don't remember anything, so there's no point in telling me. I'll just leave it to you, the one who remembers everything."
"Aying favors me."
It is obvious that they are the same person before and after losing their memory, but Fu Yi's words still have a hint of jealousy of his own favor.
Fu Yi chuckled and couldn't help but lower his head to kiss her.
But this time they didn't kiss, instead their noses bumped into each other, causing both of their eyes and noses to ache.
Almost at the same time, they raised their hands and rubbed each other without thinking.
Fu Yi's smile grew even wider, and he spoke in a cheerful tone, "When I was young, I was a bit rebellious. My father would often lose face in front of me, and my brothers and I would also easily argue. I would debate with my teacher, and that would make him very angry."
"Later, my grandfather thought I was unfilial, disrespectful, and shameless, and deserved strict discipline. But I wasn't afraid of the authority of my elders, and my grandmother loved me so much that she wouldn't allow me to be beaten. So, my grandfather devised this method to discipline me."
"But this method doesn't work on me. Lock me in the closet for a day and a night, and I won't feel wrong when I come out."
"My grandfather was so angry that he didn't want to care about me. He just scolded my father for being useless."
"It's nothing serious. It was only locked up that one time... Did you see the traces inside?"
Fu Yi didn't blush, he said frankly: "Those at the back were left behind when I locked myself in."
Just as Cheng Nianying guessed.
But is it really nothing?
If it doesn't matter, why would you lock yourself up to overcome your current weakness?
Cheng Nianying didn't ask him back, she just said: "I thought at that time, if I had not left with Prince Liang when you were lying in the coffin that day, it would have been better if I had stayed in there with you."
These words revealed Cheng Nianying's thoughts.
Fu Yi's eyes moved, and he hugged her tightly and closed his eyes.
The bedroom became quiet.
He grabbed Cheng Nianying's fingertips and rubbed them repeatedly, as if this was the only way to use the force to calm the restless blood in his heart.
"Fu Yi, are you..." Feeling his change, Cheng Nianying spoke hesitantly.
"Shh, stop talking." Fu Yi's voice became even hoarse. "I know Ah Ying loves me. That's good. That's good..."
…
After the wedding ceremony, the people in Pei Mansion were not in a hurry to leave.
Pei Jia and Fu Ruiming actually developed some friendship. Under Fu Ruiming's guidance, the younger generations of the Pei family gradually became familiar with each other in Yujing.
Cheng Nianying reluctantly returned to the palace, only to see Wangyue standing on the back of a eunuch.
Xiao Dong squatted in front of the eunuch and said, "I'm going to chop off your fingers one by one."
Wangyue interrupted, "Pull out the nails first, then chop them off."
Cheng Nianying walked into the hall, and the two men looked at her at the same time. Wangyue quickly explained what was going on.
Cheng Nianying actually often went outside and didn't obey the palace rules at all. But she was first the crown prince, and now she was the emperor. The palace people were afraid of her and naturally couldn't stop her, nor did they dare to stop her.
But no one else in the palace knew.
Those palace concubines who seemed to have accepted their fate, seeing their sons about to be sent out by the junior Cheng Nianying, finally couldn't help but take action.
This eunuch was sent to secretly poison Cheng Nianying's incense.
There are people who test food for poison, but not so many people pay attention to incense.
This is also why the emperor chose this method to attack Fu Yi.
The concubine didn't know that Cheng Nianying was not in the palace, and the eunuch was caught red-handed by Wangyue and the other man.
Xiao Dong was just worrying about how to give his brother a better life, when a ready-made contribution was offered to him.
