Chapter 8 Let’s Chat
As expected of a prince, the bathroom in this mansion is very clean and spacious. It not only has a washing and changing area, but also a special reclining chair.
The reason why Chu Sishui was not worried about Prince Rui was that before she got married, she was told that all the equipment in the mansion had been replaced long ago.
Taking into account the living needs of Prince Rui, the people from the Ministry of Works worked tirelessly two months ago to remove all obstacles that would hinder Prince Rui.
These are the two clean rooms that Chu Sishui saw. The people working in the Ministry of Works were indeed meticulous. Any man would want to save face in front of his wife. If they were used separately, she would naturally not pry into King Rui's privacy.
She picked up the handkerchief and put it into the hot water that had been prepared early in the morning. The water temperature was just right at this time. It turned out that it was kept warm by the spring water.
She sighed again, the people who make hot springs are really considerate. Prince Rui has difficulty walking, and if he has to have a group of maids and guards waiting to serve him every time he has sex, even the best intentions will be completely destroyed.
Now she relaxed. She had been thinking that after the two of them did that, Prince Rui would be served by a group of maids. Although this was common sense, she still felt it was inappropriate.
After wiping it carefully, Chu Sishui put on a thin nightgown and walked out of the bathroom, sitting on the dressing table and waiting quietly.
She was just daydreaming when Prince Rui, fully dressed, came pushing a wheelchair to the bedside. Chu Sishui understood what he meant and immediately stood up, lifted Prince Rui's arm, let him sit on the bed, and carefully pulled the quilt over him.
After Chu Sishui lay down, she carefully observed the distance between the two of them, and then quietly moved next to King Rui.
At first glance, he had messy hair scattered on the bed, clear sword-like eyebrows, and long eyelashes. He really looked like a god, handsome beyond measure.
The atmosphere was so heated just now, but now it was completely silent. She felt a little flustered, wondering whether His Highness was satisfied or not.
They are husband and wife now, so shouldn’t they hug each other affectionately and chat after that?
Since he didn't take the initiative, she had to be more proactive. In a sense, he was her breadwinner, and he was the first person to establish an intimate relationship with her in this strange era.
What's more, he has outstanding looks, and Chu Sishui has never felt any grievance or resentment.
Chu Sishui did what she said. She placed her hand on King Rui's chest and moved her face close to him. She felt a little embarrassed at this moment, as she had never hugged a man so closely before. "Your Highness..., are you asleep..."
Rong Zhuo's heart skipped a beat again when she called him "Your Highness" in a roundabout way, "...No."
Chu Sishui moved their bodies closer when he heard this, "Your Highness, are you satisfied with what you just did..."
Although Rong Zhuo is a man, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed by her words. He tilted his head slightly and said, "...very satisfied."
Even in the dark, Chu Sishui still noticed that His Royal Highness Prince Rui's ears had turned red. Thinking back to what had just happened, it turned out that His Royal Highness Prince Rui was also a virgin!
Thinking of this, Chu Sishui suppressed the joy in her heart. Knowing that men like to save face, she immediately changed the subject, "Your Highness, are you willing to marry me?"
"yes."
"Is it because I know medical skills, or because I gave His Highness the potion that made His Highness think I was useful, or... because he has some feelings for me..."
Rong Zhuo coughed lightly with embarrassment, "...All of them. In the Imperial Garden, you are the one that I pay the most attention to..."
"Then aren't we like what's said in the storybook, a match made in heaven, love at first sight, love at second sight, love at third sight, love for life..."
Chu Sishui's voice was very pleasant to hear. Rong Zhuo knew this the first time he was in Tingfeng Pavilion. Now that they were lying on the bed, there was another cheerful voice like an oriole in his ears. Rong Zhuo couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed by her words, "Whatever you say is what it is... go to sleep..."
Chu Sishui was feeling a little sweet at this moment. She raised her head slightly and kissed Prince Rui on the face, "Good night, Your Highness..."
“…”
The sun in the early morning was not dazzling, but rather gentle. Rong Zhuyi woke up early. Since he broke his leg, he went to bed early and got up early. As usual, he would have asked Fei Jian outside the door to come in and push him out to wash up.
But now he couldn't move. His new princess was pulling at him like an octopus. If he moved, she would wake up. But if he didn't move and just lay there, he didn't know how long she would sleep.
The maid in the palace had said early on that the bride would inevitably be tired on the second day of her wedding and needed to sleep a little longer.
Looking at the face sleeping in his arms, Rong Zhuo hesitated a bit. He had originally wondered whether the princess would mind his legs, so he didn't want her to touch them.
But at this moment, I saw her face sleeping soundly. He finally put aside some of his worries, thinking that the princess should be a carefree woman who wouldn't have too many thoughts.
After lying quietly for a while, seeing that the princess showed no sign of waking up, Rong Zhuo carefully pulled the arms away from his body, propped up his upper body and sat up. Chu Sishui watched Prince Rui moving in a daze, and immediately woke up, got out of bed, held up Prince Rui's arms, and helped him sit on the wheelchair.
Rong Zhuo said without hesitation, "I will get up earlier than you in the morning from now on. If you find it troublesome, we can sleep separately."
"It's no trouble, Your Highness."
Chu Sishui continued, "Your Highness, you want to let the flying sword in now, right?"
"Yes, I will go to the door. There is a screen in the room, and Fei Jian will only stand at the door. He will never look at me inappropriately."
Chu Sishui knew that this was the best solution that His Royal Highness Prince Rui could think of. It would allow her to continue sleeping and save his face at the same time.
But she still didn't want to have to greet another strange man waiting outside the door early in the morning when she came into contact with her husband in the future, even if he was a retainer named Fei Jian.
When Rong arrived at the door one by one, Fei Jian, who had been waiting on the side, immediately moved King Rui out and closed the door.
Chu Sishui didn't want to sleep anymore, so she called Jin Pei, Lu He and others to come in and serve her.
While Jin Pei and Lu He were dressing up, she kept staring at the bed and thinking. The reason why Prince Rui was inconvenienced and needed her help was because of this bed.
In ancient times, the cribs were relatively high, and had a footrest underneath to make it easier for maids to help their masters put on their shoes.
These were quite troublesome for Prince Rui, and he had to have someone to support him before he could sit on the bed.
If the structure of a modern bed is followed, with all the surrounding surfaces removed and a handrail installed at the head of the bed, King Rui could get in and out of bed by himself without the need for anyone to help him.
This way he will feel relieved and won't get stuck in a rut.
Chu Sishui thought about it again and again and felt that this was a good idea, but she would have to discuss it with King Rui later.
Apart from this, there is the issue of threshold.
The reason why King Rui wanted to let the flying sword in this morning was because of the threshold.
The thresholds in ancient times were not like modern thresholds which are flush with the ground. Instead, they were slightly higher than the ground.
