Chapter 4: Sharing a Bed
Cheng Nianying was sixteen, still growing. She was constantly on the move, so she consumed a lot of food. She ate most of the meal by herself.
The nanny on the side wanted to say "Don't be greedy" several times, but finally held back.
Fu Yi threw the handkerchief he used to wipe his hands into the basket and asked, "Are you full?"
"I'm full."
The wedding wine just now was delicious, and the food now was also delicious. Thinking about today's experience, Cheng Nianying felt like she was in a dream.
The palace maids came over and wiped her hands, saying, "We will help the princess bathe and change her clothes."
Cheng Nianying glanced at Fu Yi, and seeing that he had no other expression, she followed him.
After the people walked away, the woman who had been standing behind Fu Yi bowed and asked, "Master, shall we leave?"
Fu Yi: "Wait a moment."
The woman's name is Mu He.
Most of the servants at the Prince's Mansion were from the palace, and Mu He was the head maid.
She had been with Fu Yi for a long time, so she only dared to frown and say, "But the master should take medicine."
"Bring it here." Fu Yi stared at the big box still in the room, seeming indifferent.
Mu He had no choice but to give the order.
So when Cheng Nianying changed her clothes and came over with a body full of warm water, the room was already filled with the smell of medicine.
Fu Yi is taking medicine.
He drank until the palace servants cleared away the bowls and utensils, but he didn't even touch the candied fruit beside him.
He looks like he's suffered a lot.
Fu Yi wiped his hands again, then looked up at Cheng Nianying.
After washing off the makeup, she looks even more cute and innocent.
Like a lotus bud just opening.
"Do you smell the medicine?" Fu Yi asked.
Cheng Nianying nodded.
"It smells bad, right?" Fu Yi continued.
Cheng Nianying shook her head: "It doesn't smell bad."
She used to take a lot of medicine.
You need to take medicine to strengthen your bones, you need to take medicine for training, and you need to take medicine even more if you accidentally get injured. If you smell it many times and get used to it, you will learn how to match it yourself.
She just walked up to Fu Yi and sat down.
Fu Yi was silent.
For a moment, he couldn't figure out what tricks this girl from the Marquis's Mansion was playing.
It's really strange.
Just when the atmosphere fell into silence, Cheng Nianying suddenly raised her sleeves and said, "They just used some kind of incense on me. It's very sweet. Do you want to smell it?"
He found the smell of medicine unpleasant.
Then give him something sweet to smell.
Fu Yi smiled suddenly: "Okay."
He grabbed Cheng Nianying's wrist, sniffed it calmly, and said, "This is snow pear honey sandalwood."
Cheng Nianying responded with a "hmm" and wrote it down.
Mu He couldn't help but call out, "Master."
This is because we are afraid that he might smell something harmful to his health.
Fu Yi released his hand: "Make the bed."
"Master?!" Mu He couldn't even control the change in tone when he asked the second time.
The others were also extremely shocked. They looked at each other, and then quickly and swiftly went to make the bed.
Cheng Nianying turned sideways and watched them picking out longan, lotus seeds and red dates from the bed. They picked up a whole bowl of them.
Fu Yi spoke from behind her: "This means early birth of a son, and many children, and great blessings."
Cheng Nianying suppressed the curiosity in her eyes and said, "Yeah."
She had seen common women marrying off as concubines, and had also seen beautiful women marrying off as concubines. In short, none of them were as grand as this!
"Prince, everything is ready." The nanny came over and knelt down.
Cheng Nianying hesitated and asked, "Should we sleep together?" If she wanted to return it in the future, it would be difficult to explain.
Fu Yi stared at the changes in her expression and chuckled, "Why do you ask? On the wedding night, we should sleep together."
Cheng Nianying was not shy at all. She just glanced from his upper body to his lower body and whispered, "But you are sick..."
Fu Yi interrupted: "Are you afraid that I might infect you with my illness?"
"No, I'm not afraid. Okay, then, then... let's sleep." Cheng Nianying thought that he probably couldn't move, so it didn't matter.
Fu Yi lowered his eyes: "What are you all standing there for?"
Mu He gritted her teeth and then bit her lip: "Master..."
The nanny quickly said, "Yes, yes, it's time for the servants to leave."
Mu He still insisted: "Please allow this servant to change clothes for the master."
Fu Yi didn't scold him, but let Mu He take off his outer robe for him.
At this point, no matter how reluctant Mu He was, he had no choice but to leave and close the door.
Fu Yi, wearing only a middle-length shirt, looked even gentler.
He stretched out his hand to Cheng Nianying: "Help me."
Cheng Nianying immediately lifted him up and very experiencedly let Fu Yi lean on her back.
Fu Yi: “…”
Still quite strong.
Cheng Nianying helped the man onto the bed and covered him with a quilt.
Forget about disgust or resistance, there really isn't even the slightest bit of reluctance.
It was only when she climbed onto the bed that Fu Yi noticed a little nervousness in her.
Just a little.
She pulled another quilt over her and then suddenly jumped out of bed: "You forgot to put out the candle!"
She went to the candlestick and extinguished the candles one by one.
The firelight reflected on her cheeks, making her eyes and eyebrows bright.
It was a kind of vitality that was incompatible with the imperial city.
The house was completely dark.
"Okay." She said softly and walked back quietly.
But thinking that my walking was usually silent, I thought it might be a bit scary, so I deliberately made some rustling noises and crawled back to bed.
Outside the door.
Mu He looked back and found that the candles were all out. Her throat tightened instantly and her voice became erratic: "Master, is he really going to... have a wedding night?"
The nanny lowered her voice and advised, "Miss Muhe, this is a marriage arranged by His Majesty, a formal marriage, so of course there must be a bridal chamber."
Mu He swallowed the anger that was hard to swallow, climbed down the stairs, and said, "I'm not worried about anything else, I'm just worried that the master's body can't withstand such a night."
"The master has been an official since he was young. He has always had his own ideas and will never allow others to sway him. Miss Muhe, you are worrying about nothing." The nanny was helpless.
Mu He stopped talking.
She turned her head and glanced at the servants from the Wuning Marquis Mansion who were waiting not far away, and a hint of disgust flashed across her eyes.
Then he sat down on the steps.
She had to keep watch at night and wait for her master's orders at any time.
The people in Wuning Marquis' Mansion were terrified but overjoyed at the same time.
"Is this... done?"
*
After that, Prince Danshuo never spoke again.
The two of them each occupied half of the bed, neither of them was next to the other, let alone any romantic atmosphere.
Cheng Nianying breathed a sigh of relief, but she still couldn't sleep well. This was all due to her killer instinct.
The next day, a palace maid knocked on the door, and she heard someone beside her say, "Come in."
Cheng Nianying woke up with a start and sat up.
The palace maid came forward to help her get out of bed. She caught a glimpse of the faint blue under her eyes and thought that she looked like she had been tossing and turning all night.
But when I turned around and saw the bed sheets still as neat as before, I knew there was nothing left.
The palace maid brought her a new dress to change into. Halfway through, Cheng Nianying remembered that the prince was still in bed.
She turned around and rushed back to the bed to help him.
Before he could put his hands on her, Mu He pushed her away.
Mu He said calmly, "This is not something the Princess of the County should do. I will just do it."
