The bright red gauze tent swayed layer by layer, and the dim candlelight illuminated the figure inside the tent.
The spring is endless.
Jiang Si sat up suddenly.
The half-unbuttoned man was surprised and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Si grabbed the collar and opened the gauze curtain.
Erniu held a pork elbow in his mouth and wagged his tail with an innocent look on his face.
Yu Jin then sat up and saw Erniu clearly in the light. His face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot: "Erniu, who let you in?"
He looked around, picked up the porcelain pillow and was about to throw it over.
Erniu ran out with the braised pork elbow in his mouth.
Yu Jin rolled over and got off the ground, but was stopped by Jiang Si, "Where are you going?"
"Go skin the ox and eat its meat tomorrow!"
Jiang Sibai glanced at him and said, "What would others think if they saw you chasing Erniu on the night of your wedding?"
Yu Jin was silent for a moment, then said angrily, "Perhaps that bastard Erniu was thinking the same thing, so he dared to come and steal the pork elbow in the middle of the night!"
After being angry for a while, he realized that a night of love was worth a thousand gold. He reached out and pulled Jiang Si into his arms, and then fell into the bed together.
The dragon and phoenix candles burned all night long, and the bright red gauze curtains swayed all night long, until the sky turned pale and everything became quiet.
Yu Jin placed his hand on Jiang Shiguang's smooth back and rubbed it gently. While his body was satisfied, he felt a little sad in his heart.
Is it true that this is a matter of talent? Why did he read all the picture albums to pieces, but he was still not as skilled as Ah Si?
Jiang Si opened his eyes dazedly: "Is it time?"
Yu Jin immediately put aside his worries and stroked her loose hair: "Sleep for a while."
Nanny Ji coughed outside the door: "Prince, Princess, it's time to get up."
Yu Jin frowned and was about to speak to drive him away.
Jiang Si made a gesture to stop him and got up.
"Since we have to go to the palace to pay our respects, it would be bad to go too late."
According to the rules, when a prince who has a residence outside the palace gets married, it is not convenient for the emperor, empress and concubines to leave the palace. The newlyweds have to go into the palace to pay their respects the next day.
"Come in." Jiang Si tidied up his clothes and spoke.
Soon the door opened, and Nanny Ji led several maids in.
The lingering smell of decadence in the room made Nanny Ji frown.
How ridiculous are the prince and princess? They are young and ignorant, young and ignorant!
After taking a look at Jiang Si, Nanny Ji sighed again.
The princess looks like this, no wonder the prince has no self-control...
No, she had to persuade him even if her master didn't like her, otherwise she wouldn't be worthy of this job.
"Your Highness, I heard that she asked for water five times last night—" Yu Jin's cold eyes made Nanny Ji stop talking.
"Is it because the kitchen is slack and there is not enough hot water?"
"Of course it is enough, but——"
"Since it is enough and the palace can afford the firewood, why are you talking nonsense?" Yu Jin asked coldly.
"Auntie, forget it." After hearing what Nanny Ji said, Jiang Si was not ashamed.
It's normal for a maid from the palace to be very strict with rules and not tolerate anything out of the ordinary.
Nanny Ji's eyes suddenly widened: "Princess, you shouldn't call the prince by his name..."
Jiang Si's face darkened slightly. "Mammy, please ask Ah Qiao and Ah Man to come in and help me wash up. I hope Mammy will remember that I am the only mistress of the palace from now on. I have the final say on the rules of the palace. I believe Mammy is a person of taste."
Nanny Ji couldn't help but look at Yu Jin.
"Didn't you hear what the princess said?"
Nanny Ji was about to say something, but when she saw Yu Jin's cold face, she suddenly remembered something.
This master was so angry that he even had a group fight with the other princes. So what was the point of dealing with a mere steward like her?
Nanny Ji fell silent at that moment.
I'm sorry, Changshi. It's up to you to worry about whether the prince and princess abide by the rules in the future.
The princess was right. She was a person of taste. Since she had been assigned to the Prince of Yan's Mansion, from now on, her life, old age, sickness, death, glory and wealth would all be inseparable from the palace.
Compared to these, let's just put the rules aside.
On the carriage to the palace, Yu Jin hugged Jiang Sixiao and said, "You have a good temper. I wanted to kick that old woman out at that time."
How many times do they need water? They control everything, even the birth of children. Being a member of the royal family is really boring.
"You are a prince, why do you have to use fists to solve problems with your servants? I will take care of the affairs of the palace from now on."
Yu Jin thought about it and agreed.
Just as the emperor rarely interferes with the harem, he interferes too much, which makes others think that the princess is incompetent.
"I thought you were too lazy to worry about this."
Jiang Si smiled: "How could that be? Since I chose to marry you, these are what I should worry about. If you protect me everywhere, I will become a dodder in the end..."
Yu Jin smiled lazily, feeling very satisfied: "Whether you are a dodder or a queen of flowers, you can be whatever you want, as long as you are happy."
The two chatted and laughed all the way to the palace, and were led by the eunuchs to the Cining Palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager.
After waiting for a while, the servant beside the Queen Mother came out and said, "This is the gift from the Queen Mother to the Princess. The Queen Mother is not feeling well, so please excuse me, Prince and Princess, for paying my respects."
Jiang Si took the brocade box from the palace maid, bowed in the direction of the empress dowager's bedroom, and left side by side with Yu Jin.
Seeing the two people walking away, the eldest palace maid also left, and the two younger palace maids started whispering to each other.
"Ms. Cui just entered, and the Queen Mother refused to see the Prince of Yan and the Princess. Is she not very happy with the Princess?"
"Of course. Last month, the King of Shu brought his princess to pay respects to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother asked the Princess of Shu to stay for a long time. Now that the Princess of Yan is not here, it is obvious that she is not happy with her..."
In the bedroom, Cui Mingyue held up an ivory hammer and tapped the empress dowager's legs lightly, a smile flashing in her eyes.
Jiang Si had seen her most vicious side, which had ruined her reputation. If she let her off easily, she would not be called Cui Mingyue.
"Mingyue, your marriage with the King of Xiang was arranged in a hurry. I am sorry for putting you in such a hurry."
Cui Mingyue raised her lips and smiled: "How could Mingyue feel wronged? You don't think Mingyue was ignorant before. Mingyue already thinks that she is the luckiest person."
The Queen Mother looked at Cui Mingyue with increasingly gentle eyes.
The Queen Mother's refusal did not affect Jiang Si's mood, and the couple walked towards the Queen's bedroom.
Emperor Jingming was waiting in Kunning Palace at this time.
The queen was surprised.
When the King of Shu and his wife came to pay their respects to her, the Emperor arrived while she was talking. How come the King of Yan came so early?
In this case, she had to re-evaluate the status of Prince Yan and his wife in the emperor's heart.
Emperor Jingming came early just on impulse.
There have been frequent rains in various places recently, and disasters have been reported one after another. I am in a really bad mood, so I will watch my daughter-in-law who can perform magic tricks to relax.
Having been a wise ruler for more than ten years, Emperor Jingming was very good at relieving stress.
"Father, Mother, I heard that Sister Seven is the most beautiful woman in the capital. Is that true?" The young girl sitting below the Queen suddenly asked.
The girl had a beautiful face, and the most striking feature of her was her snow-white skin, making her look like a beautiful goddess.
This is Princess Fuqing, the Queen's only daughter and the most beloved daughter of Emperor Jingming.
But such a noble and beautiful girl, the pride of heaven, had her eyes covered with white mist, and there was no wavering in her expression when she spoke.
