Chu Yuan looked at the sky helplessly. What kind of soul-searching question was this?
She poured out the tea in her hand, replaced it with wine, and carried it step by step toward the daybed.
He bent down, a half-smile playing on his lips. "I'm very happy, how about you? Dugu Ling, I heard you were shot in the crotch with an arrow when you were a child... um!"
Before he could finish speaking, Dugu Ling suddenly got up and covered his mouth.
If Chu Yuan hadn't reacted quickly and moved her hand away, the wine on her fingertips would have been spilled!
"Ugh!" Chu Yuan protested in a muffled voice.
Dugu Ling looked embarrassed and annoyed. "Yuan'er, promise me you won't mention this again, or I won't let you go today."
Are you getting angry?
Chu Yuan found it amusing and shook her head twice to indicate that she would obey.
Dugu Ling then released her.
The blanket slipped off him, revealing his chest covered in bruises and patches of blood. Was she really that bad last night?
Chu Yuan suddenly couldn't look directly at him.
The wine that was originally intended to tease Dugu Ling became the most suitable drink to embolden him at this moment, and he picked it up and brought it to his lips.
However, after taking only one sip, Dugu Ling reached out and snatched it away, saying, "Drinking so early in the morning, don't you want to ruin your stomach?"
He himself was sickly for many years, and he rarely drank alcohol, let alone anything raw, cold, or chilled.
This morning, I took a cold shower after being drugged with aphrodisiacs, which is the most outrageous thing I've done in recent years!
I thought I'd feel awful once it got over, but I'm feeling alright now.
Could it be that which can dispel the cold?
As he spoke, his eyes shone with an inexplicable brilliance, and with a lowered gaze, he downed the half-cup of wine that Chu Yuan had left to drink in one gulp.
It has a kind of bold and comical feel to it, like a child sneaking a drink from an adult.
Crucially, before taking a sip, he deliberately adjusted the cup so that his lips landed precisely on the spot where Chu Yuan had left her lipstick.
Chu Yuan swallowed hard, feeling inexplicably aroused!
Voices could be heard outside the door.
Chu Yuan shook her head to clear her mind, walked a few steps away from the bed, and looked away from Dugu Ling. "Hurry up and get dressed. I guess the Empress Dowager will summon us soon."
"Oh." The latter was incredibly obedient, lifting the covers and getting out of bed, behaving like a good little girl who would do whatever Chu Yuan said.
Exactly, can't you at least cover up that rattling, swaying thing?
Chu Yuan glanced at it, then turned around stiffly and blankly!
Sure enough, just as Dugu Ling finished tidying up and hadn't even taken a bite of her meal, Granny Ji came to call her, "Miss Ji Yun, Your Highness the Crown Prince, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor have something to say to you. They want you to go to Shou Kang Palace."
Chu Yuan looked down at her toes, knowing full well whether this trip was a trap or a chance to climb a ladder to success.
But clearly, Dugu Ling wasn't worried.
He stood at the same level as her, reached out his left hand and intertwined his fingers with hers, "Let's go."
Chu Yuan, "Dugu Ling".
"Um?"
"If someone were to angrily shout, 'How dare you defile the Crown Prince! You shall be killed without mercy!' would you abandon me?"
Dugu Ling's lips curled up slightly, as if she were very proud, "I said I was defiled willingly, what does it have to do with him!"
Chu Yuan, "..."
However, Chu Yuan was relieved to hear him say that.
At least we won't lose our heads.
Upon arriving at Shou Kang Palace, the Emperor and Empress Dowager split into two groups. One called Dugu Ling away, while the other took her hand and led her into the inner chamber.
After looking Chu Yuan up and down, the Empress Dowager couldn't hide the smile on her lips, which was quite meaningful: "Ji Yun, did my foolish grandson hurt you?"
Chu Yuan was originally thick-skinned enough, thinking that even if she was nagged a few times, she could just endure it, since the deed was already done!
Still two bowls.
With neither Dugu Ling nor Dugu Jue intending to abandon her, it seems that even the Empress Dowager and the Emperor cannot do anything to her.
As it turned out, the Empress Dowager didn't seem angry at all. Instead, she was quite curious, "My little grandson, is he completely inexperienced?"
Chu Yuan, “?”
Oh no, the Dugu family all love this kind of soul-searching interrogation!
Although Chu Yuan didn't say a word, the Empress Dowager could see the affirmative answer on her face.
Suddenly, she slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "I knew it! Those two concubines I arranged for him earlier were completely useless! I refuse to believe that my grandson has a health problem and can't have children!"
This… Chu Yuan thought to herself that she probably had a say in the matter?
After this morning, it can be confirmed that Dugu Ling's manhood is indeed not in any serious condition, but the fact that his two concubines did not consummate their marriage with him is probably not entirely their fault, is it?
In ancient times, consummation of marriage took place at night. Once Dugu Jue appeared, his aura of sweeping away all living things for miles around was so overwhelming that no one would dare to approach him.
After being observed for a while, when she came out again, the emperor and Dugu Ling were already seated in the warm pavilion.
As soon as Chu Yuan and the Empress Dowager appeared, Dugu Ling couldn't wait to step forward, take her hand, and kneel down in front of the two main seats, saying, "Your subject thanks Your Majesty for granting your wish, and Your Majesty for granting your wish!"
Seeing that Chu Yuan was still confused, Dugu Ling pressed down on the back of her head from behind and whispered, "The imperial decree for the marriage has been written. I'm sorry to trouble you, but you have to kowtow to my grandmother and father."
Chu Yuan did as she was told.
It's so lively and exciting!
By the time they realized what was happening, the imperial decree bestowing the marriage upon them was already in their hands!
The Empress Dowager saw her stunned expression and found her even more charming and adorable. She urged Dugu Ling, "Crown Prince, hurry up and bring your future wife back to the palace for a visit. If there's anything you don't like or like, get it fixed quickly. I will definitely hold a grand and magnificent wedding for you."
Dugu Ling kowtowed again, "Grandson thanks Your Majesty!"
In the blink of an eye, Chu Yuan stood at the gate of the Crown Prince's residence, holding the imperial edict in her hand.
