Jiang Yudie was not someone to be trifled with. She was born with a physical disability, yet she still won the favor of her father and brothers, suppressing the arrogance of all the other concubine's daughters.
Now that she's finally married, she can't stop living a good life just because her husband has someone else in his heart.
Moreover, Jiang Yudie had once caught a glimpse of Xie Changling from afar. Dressed in a bright red robe, he was spirited and gentle towards his wife, a rare and excellent husband.
On the day the emperor bestowed the marriage upon her, she was overjoyed to hear that her husband was Xie Changling. She stopped her father, who wanted to ask the emperor to rescind the decree, and her eyes were full of anticipation.
Seeing that Xie Changling did not respond to her, Jiang Yudie was not angry. This would only prove that Xie Changling would be a good husband.
She changed her tone again, becoming sweet and timid: "My lord~"
This time, Xie Changling spoke. He walked step by step to Jiang Yudie, and just as Jiang Yudie was feeling uneasy, Xie Changling said, "I'm sorry, Miss Jiang!"
Jiang Yudie didn't know what Xie Changling was referring to, but after the man pressed two acupoints, she felt completely paralyzed and unable to speak.
Later, blindfolded, she was carried by two people to a soft couch. Then, she heard the canopy bed shake and a female voice that sounded very similar to hers.
Jiang Yudie was struck dumb. What was going on? Had she been deceived, or did this Young Master Xie have some peculiar fetish?
This was a marriage she had prayed for, so why would they treat her like this?
The sound continued until late at night. She didn't know when there was another person in the room, performing the wedding night for her. Her face showed some anger, and she felt humiliated.
Gradually, his anger turned into drowsiness, and he drifted off to sleep, listening to the woman's cries beside him.
As Xie Changling watched the figure outside the window gradually disappear, he got off the bed, his clothes neat and tidy, showing no trace of indulging in lust, and was perfectly sober.
He kicked the bed, startling the servant on it off: "Go back."
That's right, the servant who can ventriloquize is Liu Zhuang. In the moonlight, his endearing face is especially striking: "Master, aren't you going to leave me here to serve you?"
Liu Zhuang continued using that voice, his fingers curled into a delicate, feminine gesture, making Xie Changling frown. "Get out!"
After he left, the bridal chamber returned to peace, and the cunning moonlight streamed through the window, illuminating the desolate scene.
That's right, this is Xie Changling's method, deceiving everyone. He didn't originally want to use acupoint striking, after all, he had only practiced it for a little over a month and there were some risks involved.
But judging from Jiang Yudie's attitude today, she probably won't agree to his plan, so he had no choice but to take the risk, and unexpectedly he actually survived.
The hardest time is over; all we're waiting for is for my father to return so he can go to the frontier!
As for whether Jiang Yudie will tell anyone, that depends on tomorrow's negotiations. He doesn't want to use force, but if the other party doesn't cooperate, he'll have to resort to some measures...
I slept well all night.
...
The Imperial Palace.
It was also late at night, and the two had just finished making love, both covered in sweat. Song Lingxi nestled in Xiao Jin's arms, waiting for him to help her take a bath.
Although it sounds counterintuitive—how could an emperor serve his concubines while they bathe?—it's a fact that has never happened in any dynasty.
"Your Majesty, it is very late. I wish to take a bath. Please carry me there, Your Majesty."
Song Lingxi's soft, sweet voice rang in Xiao Jin's ears, and her fluffy little head kept rolling around on his chest, but it didn't bother him at all.
Xiao Jin chuckled and patted her head: "Look how lazy you are, and you've even become addicted to being served by me. All the other concubines serve the Emperor, but you're the only one who wants me to serve you."
"Your Majesty, I have no strength left."
Song Lingxi was so tired that she couldn't move a single finger. She felt that her whole body was covered in sweat, and it was the height of summer, so even a little stickiness made her want to soak in water.
Besides, who's to blame for her being so tired? It's all because of that big bad wolf Xiao Jin! He won't even help her with a little bit of work. What a jerk! I'm ignoring him!
"Xi'er smells so good. If we were outside the palace, butterflies would surely flutter around you."
Xiao Jin suspected that Song Lingxi was not human, but a flower fairy; otherwise, how could someone have a fragrant, intoxicating scent even in their sweat?
"Your Majesty, I'm sleepy. I'd like to wash up and go to bed."
Just as Song Lingxi was about to act coquettishly, a sudden knock on the door sounded outside the window, startling Song Lingxi, whose whole body was sore.
"Who! Your Majesty!"
Song Lingxi shuddered, not caring that she was hot, and lifted the brocade quilt to drape over the two of them. She looked a little disheveled, but also inexplicably funny.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, they are my people."
Xiao Jin gently comforted Song Lingxi, patting her back. His voice was warm and gentle, and it was clear from his tone that he was in a very good mood.
"explain!"
With the beauty in his arms, Xiao Jin couldn't care less about anything else. He just wanted someone to report quickly so he could focus on "comforting" the frightened Xi'er.
The shadowy figure on the other end responded swiftly: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister's son has already consummated his marriage today, and the lights were turned off and he is resting at midnight."
Song Lingxi was initially hesitant about whether to cover her ears, in case Xiao Jin was dealing with state affairs.
But to my surprise, it wasn't any important political matter at all. Instead, it was news of Xie Changling consummating his marriage with Miss Jiang—no, with Madam Xie. No wonder he didn't want me to hear it!
Xiao Jin noticed that Song Lingxi in his arms had quieted down and was silently moving away from him. He called out to the window, "Step back."
