Chapter 36
"Your Majesty." Qi Yu looked at Wu Shiyan, a sincere smile on her lips, her eyes bright, making it easy to feel that her mood was as sweet as honey, which also made the mood of those around her better.
She said earnestly, "I have seen the effort you have put into this for me, and I am very happy."
Qi Yu exclaimed with genuine joy, "There's never been a moment more perfect than this!"
Although she had heard his whispered words all the way, all she wanted was to reach into Wu Shiyan's arms and give him a good hug. But now, seeing this scene, her heart was truly stirred, and the waves of emotion lingered for a long time.
Qi Yu didn't blame Wu Shiyan for being fierce at times, nor did she find his occasional infatuation particularly remarkable.
She always felt that their relationship was mutually beneficial. For example, they would kiss and hug for a long time every time they met. Wu Shiyan liked her face, and she used Wu Shiyan to comfort herself.
The Qixi Festival was truly a mirage. Every time she turned around, Wu Shiyan was by her side. When their eyes met, the way he looked at her with his whole heart and eyes filled with love for her must have set off countless fireworks in her heart.
After waking up at the Pei residence, she calmed down after her initial confusion.
She can indulge herself in Wu Shiyan's affections, but she must never develop the idea that she can't live without him.
She's going home anyway, so let's just go with the flow and have some fun.
But now, seeing Wu Shiyan's sincere attitude, Qi Yu felt that she could try to give a little sincerity in return.
That's all we have left!
The more you care about someone, the more you understand them. This was true for Wu Shiyan, who keenly noticed Qi Yu's changes.
In his eyes, Qi Yu's gaze now held a different look than before.
And there's no doubt she's looking at him.
Wu Shiyan was certain that Pei Jin would receive no more affection from Qi Yu than he had.
Qi Yu's sincerity right now is so heartwarming. She looks at him so gently, as if she's about to blurt out "I like you" any second.
She is the best girl in the world!
Wu Shiyan said with great appreciation, "If you like it, then it's worth it."
Qi Yu looked ahead again: "I want to go in and take a look."
She took Wu Shiyan's hand and led him inside.
The main room door was already open. Qi Yu stepped across the threshold and saw a large red silk cloth embroidered with a huge double happiness character hanging in the center of the hall directly in front of her. On the incense table were dragon and phoenix candles and other items.
Lanterns and red silk adorned the room.
Entering the bedroom to the left, the first thing you see is a very large bed with a hundred-child canopy hanging on both sides. The bed is covered with a dragon and phoenix quilt and mandarin duck pillows, and there are also auspicious patterns made of red dates, peanuts, longans, lotus seeds and other items.
Secondly, the furniture inside the house is complete, mostly newly made of precious mahogany, brand new and shiny.
Boxes on the table were opened, revealing contents of rouge and face powder, pearl jewelry, jade deeds, and land deeds. As for items that couldn't fit inside, such as writing implements, antiques, paintings, clothes, and shoes, they were displayed on trays.
This is part of the bride's dowry.
Qi Yu's gaze swept over them one by one. In the original plot, she received compensation from Wu Shiyan after entering the Minister's Mansion, which allowed her to squander a large sum of money after faking her death.
Now the money has fallen into her hands in another form.
Qi Yu's gaze finally fell on an ordinary camphor wood chest. It was too common and placed aside, out of place with the furniture in the room.
But Qi Yu looked at it again and again, revealing her liking for it.
According to the folk customs of Dayan, when a daughter gets married, her family will cut down the camphor tree that was planted when she was born and make a camphor wood chest as part of her dowry. This chest is believed to prevent clothes from being eaten by insects and is also a way for parents to give their daughter their best wishes.
Qi Yu naturally had no parents in this world, nor was there a camphor tree planted for her, but Wu Shiyan made up for it all, and even gave her more.
Qi Yu held Wu Shiyan's hand and finally felt the reality.
She turned to look at Wu Shiyan, unsure of what to say, and could only say sincerely, "Your Majesty, you have been too good to me."
Wu Shiyan stroked Qi Yu's hair, feeling a little disappointed. He would have preferred to hear Qi Yu say that she liked him, loved him, or even adored him, but he also cherished the tenderness Qi Yu was showing him now.
“Ayu, there’s no need for us to say these things.”
After seeing the bridal chamber, Wu Shiyan took Qi Yu to have a meal.
Back at headquarters, Lin Qi naturally went back to her own residence. Qi Yu didn't feel uncomfortable when she found Lin Qi wasn't there.
Before she fell into the water that day, she witnessed how Wu Shiyan killed someone, and there was no safer place than by Wu Shiyan's side.
And because he is the male protagonist, no matter how gloomy and unapproachable he may seem, his underlying nature is righteous.
For example, wasn't it only after the Great Yan Dynasty ascended the throne and appointed people based on their merits that the world enjoyed a peaceful and prosperous scene?
Therefore, Qi Yu had complete trust in Wu Shiyan.
Wu Shiyan had been trying his best to maintain a gentle demeanor in front of Qi Yu. He still felt that Qi Yu hadn't seen him kill anyone that day, otherwise she would have backed away when she saw him again, instead of worryingly holding an umbrella to shield him from the rain.
She didn't shy away from the kiss that was mixed with rainwater that landed on him.
Many people couldn't do what she did, especially since she's a woman.
How could this not make Wu Shiyan feel even more sorry for Qi Yu?
The only time he truly showed his true colors was yesterday, but Qi Yu was completely unafraid and even seemed oblivious to his surroundings, which made him feel frustrated, so he kissed her even more forcefully.
It seemed like he was the only one who was jealous, jealous that she treated another person no differently than she treated him, and yet she didn't even know it. How could this not discourage him?
But afterwards, Wu Shiyan was glad that Qi Yu was slow to react and that she was not afraid of him because of it.
After the meal, it was nearly dusk outside. When Qi Yu returned, she discovered that there was a bathtub separated by a gauze curtain and a screen on the right side of the bedroom. Hot spring water gurgled into the tub, and steam rose from it.
Because there were two pools, Qi Yu was spared from blushing first.
Bathing in the same pool had a huge impact on her.
The surface of the pool was covered with flower petals. As soon as she entered, her maid followed her in, bowing her head and quietly serving her.
Qi Yu washed for a while, her skin turning pink, before she came out of the pool and changed into the red nightgown on the tray. It was thin but not see-through at all, and the cherry blossom color contrasted sharply with her snow-white skin, making her stand out.
She is more beautiful than the flowers.
The maidservant stepped forward to dry Qi Yu's hair, while Qi Yu stared blankly at the bronze mirror, feeling a little nervous.
Although I've never actually seen him, just by looking at his silhouette, I know that Wu Shiyan has a lot of assets.
After leaving, Qi Yu walked to the bedside and found Wu Shiyan waiting there in a red nightgown. When he saw her, he raised his eyes slightly, and even the coldest person had a clear smile on his lips.
Wu Shiyan is quite handsome.
The maidservant withdrew at the opportune moment, and Qi Yu's eyes lit up. She couldn't help but smile, and all her anxiety had vanished.
All she knew was that she was very satisfied with Wu Shiyan.
Qi Yu was still holding the ointment in her hand when Wu Shiyan grabbed her hand and pulled her to sit down on the bed a few steps away from her.
"What is this?" Wu Shiyan asked Qi Yu about the object in her hand.
Qi Yu opened the porcelain box, first applied some to her wrist, then let Wu Shiyan smell it: "This is a medicinal ointment that I obtained from the Pei residence, to be used to treat the wound on Your Majesty's face."
Even though Qi Yu was certain that the ointment would taste fine, she naturally had to try it out for the sake of Wu Shiyan's health.
Wu Shiyan didn't realize this. What he was more concerned about was why the ointment, which didn't seem unusual when opened, had become so captivating when applied to Qi Yu's wrist.
He unconsciously grasped Qi Yu's wrist, rubbing it repeatedly, and then, as if possessed, placed a kiss on that skin.
Qi Yu was startled, and a strange tingling sensation ran through her body.
It seemed that anything that landed on her had a great attraction for Wu Shiyan.
He even takes the ointment for healing wounds...
Wu Shiyan knew that Qi Yu wasn't afraid of the scar on his face, and that she brought the ointment out of consideration for him. But since it was Pei Jin's stuff, Wu Shiyan found it rather strange.
But then I thought, if Ayu is willing to give Pei Jin's things to him, isn't it obvious who is more important?
Wu Shiyan looked up and turned his injured cheek toward Qi Yu affectionately.
Qi Yu carefully scooped out the ointment and applied it to Wu Shiyan's face, smoothing it out little by little.
Wu Shiyan stared at Qi Yu's eyes and brows. In that short moment, he had already thought about how to spend the night. As long as she wasn't tired, he would naturally stay with her to the end.
But if Qi Yu ran out of strength and tapped his arm to tell him to stop, he would have no choice but to stop, afraid of leaving a bad impression on her.
Wu Shiyan sincerely hoped that Qi Yu would learn to enjoy pleasure in the bedroom.
The moment Qi Yu finished applying the medicine, Wu Shiyan couldn't wait to pull her to lie down.
Tonight is destined to be long.
However, Qi Yu refused, saying, "Your Majesty, Doctor Meng said that to completely detoxify, we must wait until the antidote I drank has fully taken effect. It is not the right time yet."
Wu Shiyan frowned and said, "You are not medicine."
Who has to wait for the right time to enjoy themselves?
Qi Yu understood Wu Shiyan's implication: he didn't want to use her as medicine.
But why resist something that can enhance your life?
Qi Yu's voice was gentle and tender, yet firm: "If we don't do this, the toxins in your body won't be completely cleared."
Wu Shiyan pulled Qi Yu into his arms: "No."
He didn't want to wait any longer.
Qi Yu nestled in his arms, pinching his abs through his nightgown, and said regretfully, "But we haven't drunk the nuptial wine yet."
Upon hearing this, Wu Shiyan paused slightly, and couldn't help but admire Ayu's intelligence.
They did more than just not drink the nuptial wine.
He certainly didn't want this day to end in regret.
So, when they should have been asleep, Wu Shiyan found a red veil and covered Qi Yu with it, then led her to the hall to pay their respects.
When subordinates prepare things, they should naturally make sure everything is prepared; any oversight is unacceptable.
For example, the nuptial wine in the wine pot inside the house, the red silk, the scale beam with the veil lifted, and naturally, the red veil embroidered with dragons and phoenixes.
After going through the proper etiquette, Wu Shiyan pulled the red silk and sat back down on the bed with Qi Yu. He picked up the scale bar on the tray and lifted the veil.
However, the gentle eyes that should have met her were now glistening with tears, which welled up in her eyes, threatening to fall, as Qi Yu gazed at him with tender eyes.
Wu Shiyan realized something in an instant!
Qi Yu's forehead was covered in sweat, her hands gripped the red silk tightly, her body felt weak, yet she had to tense up.
The third time came so suddenly and unexpectedly, overwhelming her with desire. Her lips parted slightly, and she was almost drowned by overwhelming lust.
But Qi Yu didn't want to disturb the process, so she endured it without revealing any flaws. Finally, when the veil was lifted, she burst into tears, went limp, and fell directly onto Wu Shiyan. She rubbed her skin against his clothes while sobbing.
She desperately wanted to avoid being so embarrassed, but she just couldn't help it; it was too agonizing.
Wu Shiyan picked up Qi Yu and placed her on the bed. He was in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to put down the Hundred Sons Canopy before he knelt down.
The incense sticks were bright, illuminating the bed as if it were daytime.
Qi Yu's eyes were blurry with tears, but she could still see the brilliance in Wu Shiyan's eyes.
