Chapter 223 Trying on Wedding Dress
When the palace maid came to deliver the message, Xiao Jinghe was discussing the next day's affairs with Cheng Gongjin and others.
When he learned that Yu Qinghuan invited him to go, he was slightly stunned. It had been nearly two months, and this was the first time Yu Qinghuan had taken the initiative to ask him to see her.
Xiao Jinghe immediately finalized the arrangements for the day after tomorrow and handed them over to Cheng Gongjin to arrange the defense of the capital, while the palace was handed over to Du Yunxiao.
He then got up and went to the bedroom to see Yu Qinghuan.
Because he caught a cold a few days ago, he hadn't seen Yu Qinghuan for several days. Now he couldn't help but quicken his pace, and even went around to the imperial kitchen to buy two kinds of cakes that Yu Qinghuan liked.
When he thought of Yu Qinghuan's expression when she ate her favorite pastries, a smile appeared in his eyes.
The palace gate was wide open and all the palace servants were guarding outside, even Sang Ru.
Xiao Jinghe didn't think much and strode over the threshold. The candles in the hall were brightly lit. When he saw the situation clearly, his breathing stagnated, his mind went blank, and he froze in place.
Yu Qinghuan was seen standing in the center of the hall, wearing a phoenix crown and a gorgeous red wedding dress. She was breathtakingly beautiful.
Xiao Jinghe's gaze changed from astonishment to incredible ecstasy.
He almost thought he was still in a dream, seeing his beloved in her wedding dress.
"...Huanhuan?" His Adam's apple rolled violently, and his voice was extremely dry with an imperceptible tremor.
Yu Qinghuan looked at him with a smile, her eyes flickering, "Your Highness, won't you come over?"
Xiao Jinghe's heart was beating wildly. She took the initiative to put on this wedding dress. Did it mean that she was willing to marry him?
How lucky I am to have such a wife.
He took stiff steps and walked in front of Yu Qinghuan, his burning gaze lingering greedily on Yu Qinghuan.
He really wanted to sign the marriage certificate tonight and spend his wedding night with Huanhuan.
Yu Qinghuan had also seen Xiao Jinghe's reaction in Xie Zhiwen. At that time, she was a new wife and was a little reserved and shy, but now she was only left with emotion.
At this time, Xiao Jinghe put down the food box in his hand and stretched out his hand towards Yu Qinghuan, wanting to hug her, but he was afraid that his movements would be rough and ruin her outfit.
Seeing what he was thinking, Yu Qinghuan took a step forward, put her arms around his waist with a smile on her face, and leaned against him.
Xiao Jinghe's heart skipped a beat. He folded his arms, holding the person more tightly in his embrace. His movements were filled with cherishment for the person in his arms, and his voice was as low as a dream talk:
"Huanhuan, you are so beautiful."
Yu Qinghuan raised her face to look at him, "Really?"
Xiao Jinghe nodded slightly. It was all so beautiful that he couldn't even believe it was true. His fingertips trembled as he touched her cheek and slowly pressed against it.
His lips were burning hot, almost overflowing with love and joy, and he solemnly pressed them against Yu Qinghuan's forehead.
"You are mine."
"......Um."
Yu Qinghuan thought, since they were leaving anyway, it wouldn't be a big deal to coax him.
Hearing the response from his sweetheart, Xiao Jinghe was ecstatic. His eyes were fixed on the bright red lips so close to him. His breathing suddenly became rapid, and he lowered his head to press down on her.
He originally wanted to just taste it briefly, but when he tasted Yu Qinghuan's scent, he couldn't help himself and deepened the kiss.
The candlelight danced violently, making the bright red of the wedding dress even brighter.
But just as Yu Qinghuan's hand reached out, Xiao Jinghe grabbed her wrist and said with restraint, "No... Another month."
The imperial physician said that it won’t work in the first three months.
Yu Qinghuan slowly pulled his hand away and met his fiery gaze, "I'll help you."
...
Outside the hall, there was no sound of anyone calling out from inside for a long time, and Sang Ru had already guessed what might have happened.
She sighed. The girl was soft-hearted after all, otherwise she wouldn't be trying on her wedding dress so late at night. It was because she was going to leave the palace the day after tomorrow, and she wanted to wear the wedding dress tonight to appease His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
The girl's heart is really made up of petals.
...
At night, I called for water.
Xiao Jinghe stayed overnight and lay on the couch with Yu Qinghuan in his arms. When he thought of what she had just done for him, he couldn't help but kiss her, feeling very happy.
In the past, when people were intimate, it was just two people pleasing each other.
This time, it was Huanhuan who took the initiative to please him unilaterally. If she had no feelings in her heart, she would never do such a thing.
Xiao Jinghe thought that she must have seen all his efforts during this period, was moved by him, and fell in love with him.
That's why I wore my wedding dress and put on my makeup tonight to show myself, and did all these for myself.
As he thought about it, he felt extremely happy and hugged Yu Qinghuan even tighter, wishing he could hold her in his body and never separate.
"Huanhuan, I'm so happy tonight that you can do this for me."
Yu Qinghuan yawned twice, finding his reaction quite amusing. He was like a young boy who had gotten a sweet pleasure and was extremely happy.
She couldn't help but think of Mu Huaian's reaction at the time, which was completely different from Xiao Jinghe's.
Thinking of this, Yu Qinghuan patted Xiao Jinghe on the back and said lazily, "As long as you like it."
At this moment, Xiao Jinghe was so overwhelmed with happiness that he didn't realize that Yu Qinghuan was being abnormally nice to him tonight. He only thought that the day after tomorrow would come soon, so that he could get rid of Prince Rui and once the old emperor died, he could ascend the throne and marry his sweetheart.
Announce to the world that Yu Qinghuan is his, Xiao Jinghe's, woman.
As he thought about it, Xiao Jinghe couldn't help but hug Yu Qinghuan even tighter. Pressing against her soft body, he felt a reaction again. He lowered his head and kissed Yu Qinghuan's forehead. As if he hadn't eaten enough, he asked coaxingly, "Can we do it again?"
Yu Qinghuan was silent. Even with a powerful enemy at the door, he was still thinking about these things and didn't even sleep. It seemed that he still had too much energy.
Once Xiao Jinghe had the idea, it was not so easy to suppress it, especially now that he found other ways to feel happy.
He almost begged, "Huanhuan, please."
