Chapter 128 Impotence
Seeing that the Empress Dowager and the Eldest Princess were both present, the imperial relatives showered them with compliments.
When the Empress saw Xie Yunyu, she looked her over and felt that her appearance was even better than that of the Crown Princess.
Then she remembered what the Crown Prince had said about Xie San Niangzi's idea for the northern border, so she couldn't help but take a second look.
Ling'er, that boy, is just as lucky as his elder sister.
This wife is a good match.
After everyone had made some noise, the eldest princess noticed that Xie Yunyu looked a little tired, so she glanced at the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager addressed the crowd, saying, "Alright, we've seen the bride; she's a beautiful and lovely young woman."
Next, everyone, accompany my old lady to the front to attend the wedding banquet and drink the wedding wine.
"The Empress Dowager is not old at all. She looks like she is only in her early thirties."
Princess Fu Hui, the Empress Dowager's sister-in-law, immediately began praising.
Everyone around them joined in.
"That's right, may the Empress Dowager stay young forever and enjoy boundless happiness and longevity."
The Empress Dowager's sister-in-law, the Princess Consort of Jin, also spoke up.
"How can one stay young forever? Otherwise, one would become a demon," the Empress Dowager laughed.
The group chatted and laughed as the Empress Dowager rose to her feet.
Xie Yunyu quickly stood up and bowed to the Empress Dowager: "Respectfully seeing off the Empress Dowager and the Empress."
The Empress Dowager turned around and smiled, "What did you call me?"
Xie Yunyu naturally knew that Xiao Ling always addressed the Empress Dowager as "Grandmother Empress".
So he said with a smile, "Respectfully seeing off the Empress Dowager."
"Ah, that's more like it."
After she finished speaking, the Empress Dowager called everyone to go to the front yard together.
Xie Yunyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The eldest princess had already instructed the nanny to take care of Xie Yunyu, as she couldn't handle strenuous work and needed to be properly rested.
After the person left, they removed Xie Yunyu's hairpins and ornaments to make her feel more relaxed.
Xie Yunyu sat on the bed for a while. The bedroom was quiet, with only the breathing of the servants.
Soon, Xie Yunyu's stomach started growling.
In the quiet room, it was very clear, and extremely awkward.
Seeing this, the nanny standing nearby quickly went out and brought up the prepared ingredients.
Xie Yunyu smelled it, felt uncomfortable, and said:
"Today is a joyous day, so we must not be careless and should still pay attention."
I'll just eat something to tide me over.
As she spoke, Gu Yu took out the things she had prepared.
These were just a few types of pastries that Xie Yunyu often ate at the Xie family home.
Xie Yunyu ate two pieces and then stopped.
A short while later, Xiao Ling suddenly appeared, bringing her a food box.
"The house is in a mess today, so I don't dare let you eat anything indiscriminately. These were brought back by Qingfeng himself from Tianxinglou and Jiuzhou Pastry Shop."
Try it and see if it suits your taste.
Upon hearing this, Xie Yunyu smiled, her eyes crinkling with delight.
After eating two bites of pastry, a few pieces of beef, chicken, vegetables, and a few bites of soft tofu, I stopped eating.
Xiao Ling smiled and said after seeing that she had finished eating:
"I'm going to the front yard. If you're sleepy, you can rest first. Don't wait for me."
After saying that, he instructed Gu Yu, "Take good care of your young lady."
Gu Yu nodded happily in agreement.
Xie Yunyu looked outside and listened to the commotion, then urged him:
"There are so many guests outside. What kind of groom stays in the bridal chamber and leaves the guests waiting outside? You'd better get out of here."
Xiao Ling reluctantly got up, took a couple of steps with lingering reluctance, and then suddenly turned back.
He quickly walked to Xie Yunyu's side and, to her surprise, kissed her cheek.
Then he quickly turned and left.
The maids and servants inside the room all lowered their heads and laughed.
Xie Yunyu awkwardly covered her cheek, her eyes filled with reproach as she watched Xiao Ling's figure disappear by the door.
Because the emperor was present at the banquet, no one dared to act recklessly, and everyone drank and ate in a very proper manner.
Many people simply offered Xiao Ling some polite words of good fortune.
Xiao Ling didn't drink much.
Halfway through the banquet, the emperor got up and left with the empress and the empress dowager.
The crown prince and several other princes were left to watch over the place.
Only then did the others dare to come over and have a drink with Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling was given some wine by several people from noble families, and the Crown Prince glanced at the princes.
The Fifth Prince and the Third Prince then stepped forward to shield Xiao Ling from the drinking.
The fifth prince was still young and found the scene both novel and intriguing, but no one dared to force him to drink.
The third prince will be in trouble.
Finally, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince also joined the fray, and the brothers all left the banquet drunk.
Xiao Ling returned to the bridal chamber reeking of alcohol, only to find Xie Yunyu already asleep.
After sitting on the edge of the bed for a while, I reached out and pulled the blanket up to cover Xie Yunyu.
She got up to wash up, and after she came back, she lay down on the bed.
He reached out and gently pulled Xie Yunyu into his arms.
With a warm and soft body in his arms, Xiao Ling's heart gradually warmed.
Soon the familiar feeling returned, a burning sensation rushing straight to my lower abdomen.
My heart and body warmed up.
However, there was no movement below.
Xiao Ling was stunned for a moment.
My blood felt like it was burning me, but there was no movement below.
Xiao Ling sensed something was wrong.
How could such a mishap happen on their wedding night?
He then thought about it carefully, and his face instantly darkened.
Could it be that his own mother, fearing that he might lose control and hurt Xie Yunyu and the child, made him drink some random medicine again?
Xiao Ling closed his eyes, feeling as if he had been splashed with cold water, and no longer felt any heat.
On their wedding night, with a beautiful woman in his arms, unfortunately, he...couldn't...
The next morning, Xiao Ling woke up very early.
Waking up made me even more frustrated; it still didn't work...
Turning her head to look at the person next to her, Xie Yunyu's face was flushed from sleeping.
Xiao Ling looked at her sleeping face, and suddenly stopped being angry.
Xie Yunyu sensed someone beside her, slowly opened her eyes, and was stunned for a moment when she saw Xiao Ling.
Seeing the sea of red, she instantly snapped back to reality and remembered that the two of them had gotten married yesterday.
After getting up and washing up, the two went to the palace to pay their respects to the emperor and the empresses.
They stayed in the Empress Dowager's palace for lunch.
As soon as the two returned to the mansion in the afternoon, Xiao Ling questioned the Princess.
The princess listened in stunned silence, and finally stammered, "..."
"You...you...what did you say?"
You suspect I drugged you, causing you...you...to have erectile dysfunction?"
Xiao Ling glared at her and asked, "Wasn't it you?"
The eldest princess shook her head repeatedly: "No, no. It's definitely not me."
After saying that, he looked flustered and asked with concern:
"My son, you...you...are you sure...you...can't take it anymore..."
Xiao Ling was also taken aback when he heard that it wasn't the Eldest Princess.
"You didn't drug me?"
"Then how could I suddenly..."
The eldest princess grasped the key phrase: "Suddenly? It was fine before."
Xiao Ling nodded awkwardly.
The eldest princess slammed her hand on the table: "Someone, go and fetch the imperial physician."
After the imperial physician arrived, he took Xiao Ling's pulse, then frowned and said:
"Your Highness, how could the Prince, so newly married, drink such medicine?"
The princess's features contorted in worry as she anxiously asked:
"What medicine?"
"This medicine is called Tie Suo Yang, and it is only taken by those who need to abstain from sex for health preservation."
"After taking this medicine, you will experience erectile dysfunction and be unable to have sexual intercourse for at least six months to a year."
The princess pressed on, asking, "Is this medicine harmful to the body?"
"There was no harm. On the contrary, it's good for recuperating and restoring energy, and it's a good medicine for conditioning the body."
The imperial physician stroked his beard as he spoke.
"It's because this prince just got married..."
The princess's expression relaxed slightly, and she continued to press, "Is it really harmless to the body?"
"I am certain it will not harm your health," the imperial physician continued.
The princess finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down comfortably in the chair.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling became impotent for a year...
I'm going to become a eunuch this year, and I'm terrified...
He quickly pressed on, "Is there an antidote for this medicine?"
