Chapter 247 Performance
Not only did it catch Concubine Ye and Prince Qi off guard, but the emperor did not leak any information beforehand. He issued the decree directly at the morning court session, and by the time Concubine Ye received the news, the matter had already been settled.
Although it is only a matter of time for the eldest prince to be crowned a king, the difference in when it happens is huge. If the emperor were to arrange a marriage for the eldest prince, Concubine Ye would not react so strongly. The prince hasn't even gotten married, but he's been crowned a king and established a mansion. The eldest prince is enjoying treatment that the second prince didn't even have. How could Concubine Ye not be suspicious?
Especially recently, she and the King of Qi have been having one trouble after another. In the past, the King of Qi put pressure on the eldest prince so much that he could not breathe, but now he is being pressed step by step by the eldest prince and is in a state of panic.
Previously, the eldest prince wanted to use the second prince's marriage to make him a king according to the order of seniority, but they suppressed his idea. The eldest prince had even given up the idea, but suddenly he got what he wanted.
Concubine Ye was eager to find out what had happened in the past few days that had caused the Emperor to change his mind. If she didn't find out, she would not be able to sleep or eat.
It was already late when Chen Tang returned to Prince Jingyang's Mansion. He drank a cup of tea and rested for a while, then the maid brought him dinner.
Chen Tang and Xie Guimo sat down to have dinner together.
They had been eating together these days, but the atmosphere was obviously different today, and Chen Tang didn't know how to pick up food with his chopsticks.
She ate a bowl of rice as if counting rice grains. Xie Guimo picked up some food for her and asked, "Is the food today not to your liking?"
Chen Tang said, "Not really hungry..."
She had never had a big appetite, and she had eaten several snacks at Princess Jinde's residence in the afternoon. She wasn't very hungry to begin with, and the way that guy looked at her made her cheeks hot, so she couldn't eat any more.
Xie Guimo said, "No matter how hungry you are, you still have to eat half a bowl of rice. I'll ask the kitchen to make you a midnight snack tonight."
Shen Tang shook his head, "No need."
"Prepare it, just in case you need to eat it?" Xie Guimo said.
Shen Tang didn't say anything.
But she was obedient and ate half a bowl of rice. When Xie Guimo put down his bowl and chopsticks, Chen Tang said, "I'll take the maid to the garden for a walk."
She couldn't stay in this house for a moment.
Xie Guimo glanced out the window. The sky was filled with sunset glow and it was still early.
Chen Tang took Ginkgo to the garden, and Xie Guimo went to the study to read.
Chen Tang stayed in the garden until the last sunset disappeared in the sky. If she didn't go back, Qiu Tong would have to bring her maid with lanterns to light the way for her, so she had to go back to Chenxiangxuan.
After going back and reading a few pages of the book, the maid brought hot water into the room, and Chen Tang got up to take a bath.
There are flower petals scattered in the large bathtub. Soaking in the bathtub will relax all the pores on your body.
While I was soaking, the maid's voice came, "My Lord."
Chen Tang, "......!!!"
She was still taking a bath, why did he come in? !
Through the screen, Chen Tang saw a hazy figure, and the temperature on her face rose rapidly. She thought Xie Guimo would come over, but she was obviously overthinking it. Xie Guimo did not come over, but sat on the bed.
He was reading a book in his hand.
Can't you just read in the study? Why go back to your room to read? Thinking of how she was worried about him coming over, Chen Tang's face became even hotter.
The water was a little cold, and Ginkgo Qiutong did not come in to add more water for her. Thinking that they were already married and today was the day they would consummate their marriage, and they had had intimate contact in their previous life, it would be laughable for her to be so shy.
Chen Tang got up from the bathtub, put on his clothes, and walked out from behind the screen.
Xie Guimo was still reading a book, and he was reading so seriously that Chen Tang was really curious about what he was reading. As a result, when he walked closer, he saw a box on the bed, which looked particularly familiar.
Chen Tang, "......!!!"
She recognized it at a glance; it was the treasure given to her by the Fourth Wife.
Who translated it? !
Chen Tang's face turned red as if it had exploded. She quickly ran over and stretched out her hand to grab the book, but was easily avoided by Xie Guimo.
Chen Tang said in shame and anger, "Don't look!"
She tried to grab it, but Xie Guimo held her waist and said, "It's on the bed, not for your husband to see. Do you want to see it yourself?"
God knows whether it was Ginkgo or Qiu Tong who put it there. Chen Tang felt that even if he had a mouth full of mouths, he would not deny it today.
Chen Tang was wearing a thin dress, her skin was faintly visible underneath, and under the light of the bright red wedding candles, she looked beautiful and charming.
Chen Tang couldn't deny it, but he didn't stop. He was determined to grab the book and throw it far away. However, while playing around, he accidentally knocked over the box on the bed, and the porcelain dolls in the box rolled out, making the situation even more out of control.
Chen Tang was so embarrassed that he wanted to die.
She pushed Xie Guimo hard, and Xie Guimo was caught off guard and was actually pushed down by her, but she was also knocked to his chest.
Eyes met.
The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous and charming.
Chen Tang wanted to get up, but her waist was held down, so she moved down and kissed him.
Chen Tang moved away in time, but the person under him laughed softly, "Madam, are you so impatient?"
Who was so impatient? It was obviously him who did it. Chen Tang glared at him, but he raised his head and kissed her.
After the domineering kiss robbed her of all her breath, it finally became passionate. Shen Tang's eyes were blurred and her whole body was weak.
Just when she couldn't hold on any longer, Xie Guimo held her waist and turned over, and the two of them switched positions.
The bed curtains were drawn down, and skirts and brocade robes were thrown out one by one.
There was also a porcelain doll that rolled along the bed curtain, on the footstool, and fell to the ground.
Outside the door, the maids were leaning against the door listening to the noise, each blushing more than the other.
Cough cough!
With a light cough, the maids turned around and saw Nanny Yun coming over with her maids.
The maids quickly made way for them, and Nanny Yun went up the stairs, prepared to listen for a while so that she could go back and reassure the princess. But when she turned her ear, the noise in the room disappeared.
Aunt Yun: "..."
The maids also looked at each other.
Nanny Yun asked quietly, "How long has it been?"
“…No, less than half a cup of tea.”
Nanny Yun’s world collapsed again.
It was only half a cup of tea, which was indeed too short for the prince at his age.
But the imperial physician also examined him and said that the prince was fine, didn’t he?
Poor gentleman, knowing that there were a bunch of people eavesdropping outside the house, if it was normal, Chen Qi would have sent them away long ago, but his reputation was damaged, so he could only endure it, and he also wanted to perform well, but it turned out that it was his first time, and he couldn't perform at all...
A certain gentleman was so upset that he wanted to kill someone. When he heard someone laughing, he gritted his teeth and said, "You're still laughing!"
Chen Tang stopped smiling immediately, "I'm just... used to it."
It was the same the first time in the previous life, and it was only the second time that it took someone’s life, and thinking of this, Shen Tang felt his punishment.
If she had known this, she wouldn't have laughed.
"Slow down, slow down..."
Outside the door, Nanny Yun's heart sank. She was about to go back and ask the princess to call another imperial physician for the prince, when the noise in the room was heard again.
Nanny Yun quickly turned around and went back, sticking to the door and listening for half an hour. She couldn't stand it anymore, so she left with peace of mind.
