Yin Huaixu laughed for a moment at his new wife's straightforward compliments.
"Xixi, this is the first time I've heard you praise me for being handsome, but compared to being handsome, I'd rather hear you praise me for something else."
Ying Xixi blinked, and under the candlelight, her eyes sparkled and looked very beautiful.
"Then what else should I praise Your Majesty?"
Yin Huaixu smiled without saying anything, turned around and picked up the wine glass.
"Xixi, it's time for us to drink the wedding wine."
When the wine took a sip, Ying Xixi felt it was a bit spicy. The smell of the wine was not strong, but it was a bit smoky.
She only drank a small cup, but she was actually a little tipsy.
Yin Huaixu stroked Ying Xixi's cheek with his big hand, his voice low and seductive.
"Xixi, tonight is our wedding night."
"Um."
Ying Xixi's cheeks flushed, and her eyes became a little blurry because of the wine she had just drunk.
Yin Huaixu couldn't help but laugh again, "Xixi, when did your alcohol tolerance become so poor?"
Ying Xixi tried to open her eyes wide, "Because, because I have changed into a different person, Your Majesty, please stop talking."
She climbed onto Yin Huaixu's shoulder with one hand, grabbed his collar with the other and pulled it down, then kissed him with her plump, rosy lips.
Yin Huaixu's pupils trembled. He didn't expect Ying Xixi to be so proactive.
Unexpectedly...she wanted him too.
Yin Huaixu clasped the back of Ying Xixi's head with his big hand and kissed her hard, taking the initiative.
The candlelight flickers, and the night is still long.
From time to time, a slender hand stretched out from between the hanging red curtains, and soon another big hand with distinct joints would grab the slender hand and pull it back.
The candle burned for half the night until it was extinguished when the sky turned pale.
The water in the temple was changed again and again, and the noise stopped only when dawn was about to break.
When Ying Xixi woke up again, she felt as if she didn't know what day it was.
A strong arm was across her waist, tightly strangling her.
She moved, and a hot body pressed against her back, and a low, hoarse voice sounded in her ears.
"Are you awake? Are you hungry?"
Some images popped up in Ying Xixi's mind.
“........”
"Your Majesty, please let go. I'm hungry and want to get up."
Yin Huaixu exerted force with his arms and turned Ying Xixi over so that she lay on top of him.
At the same time, he exerted force on his waist and abdomen, and stood up while holding Ying Xixi.
Ying Xixi: “???”
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
"Didn't you say you were going to get up? You must be very tired. I'll help you."
Yin Huaixu enjoyed serving his wife very much and dressed her in an orderly manner.
Ying Xixi originally wanted to say that she could wear it herself, but when she stretched out her hand, her whole arm felt sore and weak.
She no longer cared about being shy and could only nestle in Yin Huaixu's arms, letting him help her dress and wash like a big doll.
Yin Huaixu ordered the meal to be served, then he held Ying Xixi in his arms and sat at the table, holding the cup of water to her mouth.
"Drink some warm water."
Ying Xixi drank a few sips of water from Yin Huaixu's hand.
"That's enough, Your Majesty. I'll just sit here by myself."
Ying Xixi was still a little embarrassed to enjoy Yin Huaixu's service, and spoke in a low voice.
"Can you sit still by yourself? I'll hold you in my arms. If you're shy, I'll have everyone leave later."
Yin Huaixu smiled and played with Ying Xixi's soft little hands with his big hands, unable to let go.
Ying Xixi had nothing to say. Okay, she would be a "useless person" today.
After a while, the palace maids came in one after another carrying dishes. After Eunuch Fu tested the poison, he led the palace maids to leave.
Only Yin Huaixu and Ying Xixi were left in the hall.
"Which dish do you want to eat? I'll feed you."
It was Yin Huaixu's first time taking care of someone, and he felt good about it, even a little addicted.
Ying Xixi enjoyed his feeding and felt a little full without realizing it.
Yin Huaixu fed Ying Xixi until she was full before starting to eat.
He ate slowly and leisurely, which was just as pleasing to the eye as when Ying Xixi was still little Xixi in the bamboo house.
Thinking of the bamboo house, Ying Xixi waited for Yin Huaixu to eat and asked him.
"Your Majesty, what happened to the bamboo house in Yangzhou?
I remember there were two men in black who were burned to death with me. What happened to their bodies?
Before Yin Huaixu recognized that Wang Xixi was Xiaoxi, the word "bamboo house" was a taboo word to him. An Yi and the other secret guards kept silent and did not dare to mention it at all.
Now that Xiaoxi has returned to his side, when Yin Huaixu mentioned the bamboo house and recalled the pain he had experienced, he felt much more at ease and his heart calmed down.
“That bamboo house is still in ruins.
I was afraid of being reminded of the past by the sight, and even more afraid that things and people would change, so I didn't bother with the bamboo house.
I ordered An Er and the others to deal with the remains of those two men as they pleased. I have carefully preserved your remains and have placed them in Qian Kun Palace. Do you want to see them?"
Ying Xixi widened her eyes, "???"
"You still keep my body in Qiankun Palace?
No, shouldn't you erect a tombstone for me and bury my body?
Why is it placed in the Qiankun Palace?"
After saying that, Ying Xixi stared at Yin Huaixu suspiciously.
"Your Majesty, could it be that... you look at my bones every day and miss me, and even made a ring out of my bones and wear it on your body?"
Yin Huaixu: “….”
He tilted his head and coughed, "To be honest, I've had this thought before, but your bones are a bit broken, so it's not easy to make them into a ring.
I had no choice but to give up this idea.
Xixi, if you are afraid, we will bury your body another day.
As for the bamboo house, if you want to stay there for a while, I will send someone to renovate it, how about that?"
Ying Xixi had a complicated expression, "Your Majesty, why did you like me in the first place?
I was clearly a woman dressed as a man at that time, and I always painted my face yellow and black."
Yin Huaixu chuckled and gently stroked her cheek with his fingertips.
"I don't know either, maybe it's because of the unknown origin of my love, it's just too deep.
When you rejected me, I was sad, but I let you go.
But when I found out you were dead, my feelings for you were infinitely magnified. It was then that I realized I had loved you since I didn’t know when.”
Ying Xixi pursed her lips. No wonder she heard that the deceased Bai Yueguang was the most unforgettable.
"Then bury my remains some other day. Even though you know they are mine, it's still creepy to leave them like this.
Let's repair the bamboo house as well. If we have the chance, we can stay there for a while."
Ying Xixi raised the corners of her lips.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
After discussing it, Yin Huaixu asked the palace maids to come in and clean up the dishes, and then he carried Ying Xixi to sit on the couch.
"Want to sleep a little longer?"
Ying Xixi rested her chin on Yin Huaixu's chest. "Eat after waking up, and sleep after eating? It's like raising pigs."
"It's nice to raise you, a little pig."
Yin Huaixu smiled and pinched the tip of her nose.
"His Majesty!"
Ying Xixi glared at him.
Yin Huaixu smiled even more happily.
