◎Wedding Night Talk◎
The new house was decorated in bright red, and the quilt cover was sprinkled with longan, lotus seeds, lilies, and other foods with good meanings. She was the only one in the room now.
Huiyin really wanted to tear off the lid herself, it was always so boring.
Suddenly, she heard a sound of someone kneeling outside, and then a series of footsteps came. The footsteps sounded very steady. Huiyin wondered if Li Cheng was here?
As she was thinking, she seemed to sense someone approaching, and suddenly the veil was taken off.
The man opposite is wearing a wedding gown with a red-colored python pattern and gold-threaded jacquard pattern, a gold-rimmed auspicious cloud belt around his waist, and a dragon crown on his black hair. The crown is made of pure gold, with flowing auspicious cloud patterns made of silk, and dragons on both sides surround it. There is a gem on the top, which looks like two dragons guarding the pearl, which makes him look slender and noble.
In particular, his appearance was completely different from what Huiyin had imagined. He had a pair of peach blossom eyes, and he looked handsome and somewhat romantic. He looked very much like those cynical playboys.
Thinking of this, Huiyin felt that it was true that one should not judge a person by his appearance. Li Cheng looked like this, but he was actually a lovesick man.
Li Cheng had another feeling when he looked at Huiyin. From a distance, she looked exactly like the Yanzhao beauty, tall, well-proportioned, with deep eyebrows and eyes and a straight nose. Especially with her small head and face, slender and long neck, and skin like piled white snow, she looked like a rich flower in the world. Just looking at her could make one's mind go blank and forget everything for a while.
The two were strangers. They looked at each other and Huiyin stood up and bowed: "Little Prince."
Her voice is very coquettish, and she doesn't speak in a pinched voice, it just sounds natural.
After hearing this, Li Cheng felt a little uncomfortable: "Princess."
It would have been fine if Huiyin hadn't seen the person before, but now that she had seen him, he seemed to be even more handsome than Li Heng. No matter what, she still felt a little relieved.
As soon as the two of them greeted each other, the matchmaker came in and arranged for them to drink the wedding wine. Huiyin seldom drank alcohol, as alcohol and sex could easily consume the body. Her father had favored several concubines in recent years and loved to drink, so his fighting ability was no longer as good as before.
Even if a woman is too obsessed with sex, she can easily become physically empty and weak.
She took a sip of the wine and put it back on the table.
With the bridesmaid withdrawing, the two were alone again. Huiyin still didn't know what Li Cheng was like. She was afraid that if she took the initiative, she would be laughed at for being too sentimental.
Fortunately, Li Cheng spoke up at the right time: "I heard that there were bandits robbing you along the way? Are you okay?"
"Oh, thank you for your concern, young prince. I'm fine, thanks to General Yuwen's arrangements. He arranged us in the temple first. It was raining at that time. We hid from the rain and the thieves at the same time. When we came out, the thieves had been wiped out." Huiyin said with a smile.
Although her voice was coquettish, her words were crisp and clear. Li Cheng glanced at her and nodded, "That's good. I'm sorry that I've been fighting in Xia Pi these days."
Seeing that people were concerned about her, Huiyin was sure to care about others, so she said, "It's not a big deal for me, but the prince is really worried. I wonder if he is injured?"
Li Cheng pointed to his shoulder and said, "I was hit by an arrow here. The wound is shallow, so it's not a big problem."
When she heard that he was injured, Huiyin immediately asked, "Since you were already injured, why were you still drinking just now?"
"Because this is our wedding." Li Cheng said this without thinking. They were already married, and he might not be able to love her very much, but he still had to respect her.
Huiyin looked at him and asked seriously, "Is it still bandaged now?"
Li Cheng nodded.
Huiyin glanced at him and said, "In that case, you sleep on the bed today and I'll sleep on the couch on the side. Since you're injured, you should take good care of yourself. If you don't mind, I'll cook tomorrow. Well, what should I cook? Pigeon soup can easily leave scars, pig's trotters are too greasy, and beef is an irritant. Black bean and black fish soup is my specialty, I'll stew it tomorrow."
Seeing that she arranged it so quickly, those who didn't know would think that they were familiar with each other, but Li Cheng shook his head and said, "No, you still sleep on the bed and I sleep on the couch."
"That won't do. If my parents find out, they'll definitely say that I'm abusing you." Huiyin's voice was soft but she showed no sign of giving in.
Normally, all women would be respectful to him because of their status. He found that Zheng was not like that. She was just like a little girl. It was obvious that her family must have doted on her, but she was arrogant and uninhibited. She was not unhappy at all when he was away fighting, and she did not ask for the marriage to be consummated. It only took a moment to ease the embarrassment.
Li Cheng lowered his head: "I can't let you sleep on the couch either, right?"
Huiyin smiled and said, "Then let's all sleep on the bed. It's quite big anyway, so it's fine if we don't sleep on each other in the middle." She said, "Then I'll go take a shower and wash up first."
It seemed as if he was relieved.
It was very strange. Li Cheng had never seen such a woman in his life. She had the ability to turn the tables. It was obvious that when he came in, this was the Huaiyin Palace and he was the male owner.
Huiyin bathed and washed very quickly. She often felt that she had been bathing for too long and her skin was swollen and like pork. So after removing the hairpin and bathing again, she came out. When she came over, Li Cheng took a look and turned away.
Huiyin straddled him and lay on the bed, moaning comfortably: "Finally I can lie down. I'm really too tired today."
She really just wanted to go to bed early, and she was not that obsessed with consummating the marriage, especially since the other person was injured and she had to pay more attention to her health.
After she finished speaking, she really closed her eyes, but the fragrance coming from her body made Li Chengjian's blood rush to his head, and he couldn't fall asleep.
Huiyin was just dazed when she saw a dark shadow looming over her. It was him who approached her, lifted her chin and started kissing her. She was a little confused, but she opened her eyes with some worry, and said while panting, "Your injury..."
"It's okay. Today is our wedding night. What will others think if we don't consummate our marriage?" Li Cheng didn't know if he was making an excuse for himself.
If the young prince didn't touch a princess who had married from Jizhou on the first night of her wedding, she would be laughed at immediately. Huiyin certainly understood this. Even the next day, there would be a special nanny to collect the so-called wedding veil, and the servants would also wait outside. If the first day was not good, then the princess's would not exist.
Li Cheng's movements were as graceful as flying butterflies. Huiyin avoided a lot of pain because he was so experienced.
When the lovemaking stopped, they called for water twice. Huiyin was afraid that his wound would split, so she changed the medicine for him.
When she was changing the dressing, Li Cheng looked at her rosy face, which was unusually beautiful, and secretly cursed himself for being obsessed with lust, saying that he was no different from an animal. Fortunately, she believed him.
Huiyin's movements were very skillful. She first used strong liquor to clean the wound, and then cleaned up the blood that seeped out of it as well as the sweat and grease around it. Then she applied medicine powder and tied the gauze neatly.
Li Cheng noticed that she was very skilled and couldn't help asking, "How do you clean wounds like this?"
Huiyin had naturally helped Li Heng a lot in her past life. After all, she was Li Heng's "favored concubine" in name only. But now she couldn't tell the truth and could only say, "Of course it was because of my brother. He is a few years younger than me. Sometimes when he gets hurt, I will help him."
After finishing the treatment, Huiyin walked back to the bed, and suddenly her legs went limp. Li Cheng naturally saw it and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
After the two of them lay down, Huiyin asked tactfully: "How many concubines do you have? That way, I can prepare a gift for the meeting. I came from Jizhou and don't know the rules of your family."
Li Cheng quickly said, "I have no concubines. My parents passed away one after another, and I have always been in mourning."
Huiyin was slightly satisfied, and she asked again: "Do you have someone you care about? I'm talking about women."
She always speaks directly, and sometimes beating around the bush only makes herself feel uncomfortable. She is so talented and beautiful, if Li Cheng treats her badly, she will not bother to pretend to be virtuous.
Li Cheng glanced at Huiyin and was surprised: "Why do you ask that?"
Unlike the direct answer just now, there is a problem. Huiyin said playfully: "If you are only willing to be a superficial husband and wife with me, then we will be polite and not interfere with each other, and I will be very sensible. But if you treat me sincerely, then you will gain a beautiful and affectionate wife who is loyal to you."

Baby Huiyin is a very confident person, so she rarely doubts herself.
