For a moment, the house was quiet and the rustling of leaves in the wind could be heard outside the window.

And the "thump thump" sound of Concubine Xu's accelerated heartbeat.

She didn't expect that by accident, she ended up doing something she had always wanted to do.

Under the black face mask, under the shadow of thick and long eyelashes, is a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, and a faint smile at the corners of the lips, with a bit of unruly smile.

Skin as white as jade, three-dimensional facial features, almost perfect.

Concubine Xu was stunned for a moment, he was really, really handsome!

Last year, the man in black promised to show her, but he never did, which made her angry for a long time, until he just disappeared.

She thought she would never have the chance to meet him in this life, but unexpectedly, not only did she meet him, but she also got to see his true face as she wished.

This wave is worth it!

It all happened so fast that the man in black had no time to stop it and was seen by others.

The man in black was stunned at first, but then he was relieved and regarded it as a temporary fulfillment of his promise to her.

During the four months he was away, he actually went to other places to look for Xiaojiu, but there was no news.

When passing through Daxia, I stopped by the imperial palace for a stroll and then came to the Yixiang Hall.

He calmly looked at Concubine Xu who was sizing him up, "How long are you going to watch?"

Concubine Xu reacted, embarrassed and ashamed, "I didn't mean it." Then she said confidently: "You promised to show it to me last year. Now that I have seen it, it is considered that you have fulfilled your promise."

Having already seen it, the man in black took it calmly: “Yeah.”

Seeing that the man in black was not angry, Concubine Xu became bolder. She stared at that handsome face for a long time. It was really different from what she had imagined.

She thought the man in black was just a rough-looking, average-looking man with an ungainly appearance, but the result was exactly the opposite.

The man in black lowered his eyes and looked at the woman sitting on his lap. A barely perceptible smile flashed across his eyes: "How long do you want to sit on me?"

Concubine Xu looked down and realized that she was sitting on the man in black in a straddle position. It was forbidden for men and women to have physical contact, so she stood up straight with a red face.

"I'm not the kind of woman who would throw herself into the arms of a handsome man when she sees him. You stole my book, and I wanted to get it back, but I accidentally fell into your arms." Concubine Xu tried to explain that her action was unintentional.

The man in black raised the book in his hand and looked at Concubine Xu with a gloomy look in his eyes, "Can you read this book?"

"It's just a love story. They are husband and wife... isn't that normal?" Concubine Xu argued, but she felt guilty.

"Do you think it's normal to read such obscene articles?" The man in black almost said that she was a simple girl and it would be easy for her to learn bad things after reading such things.

Concubine Xu explained: "I was reading the storyline, and the descriptions were not very detailed. When the clothes were taken off, the lights were turned off."

The man in black asked, "Pull out the lights? What does that mean?"

Concubine Xu looked at the notebook in his hand and said, "You will know if you look at it yourself. It was gone before I could even take off all my clothes."

The man in black continued to read the unfinished story in the book with doubts. When he finished reading, he found that the coat was gone after he took it off.

"Even so, it's not suitable for a girl like you to read this kind of book. Don't read it in the future." The man in black stuffed the book into his arms.

When Concubine Xu saw this, she couldn't help but feel anxious, because she had promised Tao Liangyuan that she would show it to her after she finished reading it.

"I won't read it, so give the book back to me."

The man in black snorted: "If you don't want to see it, what else are you going to do?"

"I, I..." Concubine Xu couldn't find an excuse for a moment. She stared at the book in the black-clothed man's arms, trying to find a chance to take it out.

"I promise not to look." Concubine Xu tried to get closer to the man in black.

"Girls can read more poetry. It's best to burn books like these that can easily lead to bad habits." The man in black said, looking at the cherries in the fruit plate, picked up one and put it in his mouth to eat.

When Concubine Xu heard that the book was to be burned, she began to feel pain. She hadn't finished the story yet, and Tao Liangyuan hadn't read it either, so it would be a shame to burn it.

She took two steps forward, and while the man in black was eating cherries, she suddenly pounced on him, aiming at the book in his arms.

The man in black didn't expect her to attack suddenly, and the distance between them was too close, so it was impossible to dodge.

When Concubine Xu's hand reached to her chest, the man in black grabbed her wrist.

Concubine Xu was caught off guard and fell into the arms of the man in black again. Before she could react, the man in black's teasing voice came from above her head.

"This is the second time. Do you still want to argue that you are not throwing yourself into my arms?"

Concubine Xu raised her head and found that the two were very close to each other, so close that she could feel the man's breath.

"If I say it's not, then it's not." Concubine Xu struggled to stand up and heard the teasing voice of the man in black again.

"Didn't you read the book just now? Don't twist around on a man. It can be dangerous."

The man in black spoke the last four words in her ear in a deep, magnetic voice.

Concubine Xu was stunned for a long time, and suddenly thought of what was written in the storybook. Her current actions were undoubtedly to seduce the man in black, and the consequences would be disastrous.

Concubine Xu was a girl after all, and she was so frightened that she dared not move. Although the man in black was very handsome, a girl's reputation was very important. She had to leave the palace and go home, and she couldn't bring shame to her family.

The man in black saw Concubine Xu become obedient and laughed softly, "She is really not easily frightened."

When Concubine Xu heard the man in black making fun of her again, her cheeks puffed up with anger, but even so, she didn't dare to move.

There is a saying in the storybook: Men are really not easy to tease.

The man in black had teased her enough, so he let go of Concubine Xu and stood up.

"I'm leaving."

Before leaving, the man in black grabbed a few cherries.

When Concubine Xu wanted to stop him, the man had already disappeared into the night.

She stamped her feet in anger, "You come as you please, and leave as you please. What do you think of this place?"

"After catching so many cherries, at least leave the book behind."

* Only the day before the Crown Princess was enthroned, the Imperial Clothing Bureau hurriedly delivered the auspicious clothes to the Hehuan Palace.

Chunxi looked at the auspicious clothes on the table. The embroidered patterns were all rare treasures, which showed how luxurious and grand the Crown Princess's auspicious clothes were.

The young lady climbed from a small Fengyi, lying in the posture of a salted fish to the position of Crown Princess. Just thinking about it makes me feel that it is extremely amazing.

"My lady, please accept my knee." Chunxi looked at Shen Chuwei with admiration.

Shen Chuwei was amused by Chunxi's appearance, and following her, her way of speaking became more fashionable.

Chunxi chuckled twice.

Shen Chuwei looked at the Crown Princess's auspicious dress. She would wear this dress tomorrow and marry Xiao Jinyan.

For her, the enthronement ceremony was equivalent to getting married, with complicated procedures and many rules.

When Xiao Jinyan came, he saw Xiaojiu looking at the auspicious clothes.

He was still quite nervous when he thought about marrying Xiaojiu tomorrow.

"Xiaojiu."

Shen Chuwei curved his eyebrows and said, "Your Highness, you are here."

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Xiao Jinyan came over and looked at the auspicious dress that the Crown Princess was wearing. "Go to bed early tonight. You have to get up at five o'clock tomorrow morning."

Shen Chuwei then remembered that she had to get up early tomorrow. As a bedridden patient, getting up early was extremely difficult for her.

"Just take a shower and go to bed."

The two of them took a shower and then went to bed to rest.

In order to get up early tomorrow and not miss the auspicious time, Xiao Jinyan asked the wet nurse to take Taotao and Susu to the side hall tonight.

The bed curtains were drawn, and the bed was in complete darkness.

Xiao Jinyan hugged her and just kissed Qin Ta, and did nothing else.

"Are you nervous?"

Shen Chuwei shook his head. Getting up early tomorrow would be the hardest thing.

Xiao Jinyan kissed the corner of her lips and said, "Don't be afraid. I'll take care of everything."

Shen Chuwei said: "With Jinyan by my side, I can follow her instructions without any worries."

Xiao Jinyan said helplessly: "You won't forget the etiquette process tomorrow?"

"No, no, I dare not forget." I still remember the general process, but I may have overlooked the details~ Xiao Jinyan: "Go to sleep."

Shen Chu smiled and went to sleep peacefully.

At five o'clock in the morning, Xiao Jinyan got up and woke up Shen Chuwei who was sleeping soundly.

"Xiaojiu, it's time to get up."

Xiao Jinyan called her several times before Shen Chuwei got up with her eyes narrowed.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess need to be separated and served by a nanny and a eunuch respectively.

Shen Chuwei was in a daze and was being groomed by the maids.

Bathing took several times longer than usual.

After bathing, you should also spit various essential oils.

Then comes the dressing.

The maids are all elderly, and this is not their first time, so they are very familiar with the process.

Shen Chuwei was still in a sleepy state, squinting at herself in the bronze mirror. Her makeup was very heavy and bright.

Her hair was matched with a luxurious phoenix hairpin, which unexpectedly made her look graceful and elegant.

But it is also very, very heavy.

She now felt somewhat empathetic. The Queen must be very tired wearing noble hair and luxurious phoenix crown every day.

There is nothing wrong with my neck, luckily.

After putting on the hairpin, the next step is to put on the auspicious clothes.

Two maids took the wedding dress and put it on her.

"What should I do if the wedding dress outside is damaged?"

The nanny's exclamation attracted the other two nannies over.

"What's wrong?"

The nanny was so anxious that she said, "This wedding dress is defective and cannot be worn."

"In the ceremony of enthroning the Crown Princess, everything from the auspicious attire to the attire is extremely important and cannot be taken lightly."

"Hurry up and ask the embroiderer from the Clothing Bureau to fix it."

"It's too late. The auspicious time is coming soon."

When Shen Chuwei heard this, she saw that all the maids were horrified. She walked over with confusion, picked up the wedding dress and took a few glances. She found that the embroidery on the chest was broken. Not only that, but one of the auspicious beads on Yun's shoulder was missing.

Chunxi saw it and regretted not checking it carefully when the Shangyi Bureau sent it.

She raised her head and looked at Shen Chuwei, "My lady, what should we do?"

Shen Chuwei asked: "Do you have any spare auspicious clothes? Or can we use other auspicious clothes instead?"

"We only prepared one set of wedding attire, how could we prepare two sets?" Nanny suddenly remembered the ceremony of enthroning the Crown Princess last year. "Chang Liangyuan did have one custom-made set made for her then. Why not borrow it and try it on?"
