Xiao Jiuchen looked at Luo Yu walking out of the palace and smiled.
He would definitely not admit that he was the one who took away Jiaojiao's innocence.
The reason why he dealt with Cao was, first, to avenge his Jiaojiao, and second, to prevent Cao from spreading things that were unfavorable to his Jiaojiao.
Cao should have died long ago.
Ever since he knew that his Jiaojiao was the legitimate daughter of Marquis Zhennan, he had someone investigate his Jiaojiao in order to win back her heart and cater to her preferences.
In this way, he naturally knew that Jiaojiao had been murdered by Han Junsi and Cao Yuzhen.
Xiao Jiuchen called the secret guards over with a sullen face: "Always keep an eye on the actions of Anping Hou, Jiang Neige, and their families, and report back regularly."
The secret guard took the order and left.
Xiao Jiuchen's eyes flashed with fierceness.
He will not let go of anyone who dares to hurt his Jiaojiao.
Although Cao Yuzhen was dead, her funeral was not held in a low-key manner until after the ceremony of Luo Qingqing entering the palace was completed. Luo Yu ordered people to hold it.
The ceremony of Luo Qingqing's coronation as queen was extremely grand.
On this day, the entire capital was in an uproar. Men, women, young and old, all flocked to the streets to celebrate, as if it were their own family wedding.
The royal ceremonial team and the guards were in front, followed closely by the big red sedan chair, and behind them was the flowing dowry team and the escorting imperial guards.
The streets from Zhennanhou all the way to the imperial palace were hung with red silk and the ground was covered with red cloth, creating a sea of red everywhere.
After the bridal sedan entered the palace, the emperor and empress kowtowed to heaven and earth in the main hall and knelt to accept the congratulations of the court officials.
After a series of complicated rituals, Luo Qingqing was so tired that she almost collapsed.
There are many rules and eyes and ears in the palace. Now that she is the queen, her every move is watched by countless people.
Although Luo Qingqing felt tired, she still followed the rules.
She washed and bathed, ate a simple meal, and then sat obediently in front of the bed waiting for Xiao Jiuchen to come back.
After Xiao Jiuchen came back, the two of them drank the wedding wine under the guidance of the palace servants and listened to the palace servants' words of congratulations.
After that, Xiao Jiuchen took a shower and changed his clothes, which took another while.
When Luo Qingqing was finally able to lie down on the bed, it was almost midnight.
Xiao Jiuchen hugged her contentedly.
He understood her hard work throughout the day and rubbed her waist considerately.
Slowly, the soft skin of the woman in his palm made his desire erupt.
He asked painfully: "Jiaojiao, are you going to sleep?"
Luo Qingqing replied vaguely: "Yeah, I'm very tired."
Xiao Jiuchen sighed.
He kissed her gently, and she subconsciously hid under the quilt.
Xiao Jiuchen then got under the quilt and touched her little hand...
Luo Qingqing was shocked.
She lifted the quilt and sat down, hiding her hands behind her back, looking at Xiao Jiuchen helplessly: "Your Majesty, I am very tired."
Xiao Jiuchen pouted, looking innocent like a child who couldn't get any candy. "There are maids from the Empress Dowager's palace outside. They will keep an eye on us tonight and check our bedding tomorrow morning."
Luo Qingqing had a big headache.
She lay down like a corpse, straight as a log.
She sighed and said, "Come on, but hurry up."
Xiao Jiuchen leaned over her, kissed her jokingly, and said, "Don't call me Your Majesty. Call me Jiuchen like you did a few days ago. I like you calling me that."
Luo Qingqing hooked her arm around his neck and said pitifully, "Jiuchen, I'm really tired."
She yawned as she spoke.
Xiao Jiuchen kissed her distressedly and said softly, "I'll do it."
Luo Qingqing tilted her head back to meet his kiss, but kept complaining in her heart.
Xiao Jiuchen is now an old hand at that matter, with all kinds of tricks that make it difficult for her to cope with them.
In the early stages, he would do his favorite position until she really became impatient, then he would cooperate with her feelings.
Xiao Jiuchen was even more enthusiastic that night, perhaps because he finally got what he wanted.
Luo Qingqing almost fell asleep several times, but was woken up by Xiao Jiuchen the next moment.
The maids and palace maids guarding the door blushed as they listened to the incessant noises coming from the hall.
It was almost dawn when Xiao Jiuchen asked someone to go in and pack the bedding.
When the maids saw the dirty bedding and the blood stains on it, they took the bedding to report to the Queen Mother with satisfaction.
Xiao Jiuchen held Luo Qingqing and sat in the pool.
Even after tossing and turning all night, his energy was still frighteningly high.
In order to cover up the secret that this was not Luo Qingqing's virginity, Xiao Jiuchen cut his thigh, staining the quilt with blood.
Luo Qingqing understood his good intentions.
For the first time, she touched his wound with heartache.
Xiao Jiuchen's eyes were deep.
He held her hand and begged, "I want more."
Luo Qingqing softened her heart.
In the water covered with flower petals, undercurrents surge.
After two cups of tea, Luo Qingqing's hands were extremely sore.
She looked at Xiao Jiuchen with pleading eyes, "Are you still not well?"
"Not yet." Xiao Jiuchen suddenly picked her up and put her on the stool beside the pool.
He leaned in and kissed her.
The petals in the water once again covered the entire pool, and the water surface gradually calmed down.
On the shore, the hot wind rose again and the drums of war sounded.
Waves of joyful sounds gently brushed past the petals and spread to every corner of the room.
*
Life in the palace was more boring than I had imagined.
Apart from taking care of palace affairs every day, Luo Qingqing has plenty of time left. She can't go out to the streets or wander around the palace, so she is really bored.
When Xiao Jiuchen was busy, she could only find fun on her own.
Reading storybooks, riding horses, practicing martial arts...
