Yao Niang opened her eyes in confusion, and suddenly saw Gao Xuance approaching. She turned her head and said in annoyance, "Why did I fall asleep?"

She was half asleep, and when she opened her eyes for a moment, it was as if there was a pool of clear water inside her eyes. She could only see her own shadow through her pupils.

However, Gao Xuance could no longer hold back. He lifted up Yao Niang's chin. Yao Niang thought that he had finally come to her senses. Seeing him approaching her, she let him take advantage of her. Gao Xuance could no longer control himself. At this moment, all words that could describe her were blank.

Yao Niang naturally put her hands behind his back and teased him with her sweet tongue, making Gao Xuance's breathing even faster.

Those standing outside were the palace maids and the dowry brought by Yao Niang. They had already prepared hot water and were waiting outside, but unfortunately the masters did not order water.

Then there were panting sounds coming from the inner room, and the people standing outside took a few steps back on their own initiative.

The inner room was filled with spring scenery. Yao Niang had taken off all her dresses. Her legs were particularly slender and her belly was flat. Gao Xuance looked up and felt like his nose was about to bleed.

Seeing that he had already gotten the hang of it, Yao Niang was reluctant to take the initiative on the first day and just stroked her back gently with her hand. Gao Xuance felt that he wanted to conquer her like conquering a city or a pond.

But today is her virginity, and Yao Niang can no longer remember how she lost her virginity in her previous life, because she and Lu Xiao have absolutely no feelings for each other, not even any affection for each other.

He was a poor man. It was said that he already had a loved one and was planning to get married, but because he was framed by Lin Chaoyan, he had to marry me. That was it. The two of them lived in separate rooms at first.

Since they had no feelings for each other, she couldn't really stoop to such a low level. Even if they had physical intimacy and even if Lu Xiao resisted, she couldn't care less at that time.

Now she and Prince Chen both have a good impression of each other, and their love for each other is a natural outcome.

"Gently, gently..."

Gao Xuance heard her whisper, and all his ambitions turned into a trickle. He kissed the corner of her lips and said, "Okay."

What was waiting to be unleashed was finally released...

At his age, he naturally read "The Idiot Woman" and "The Golden Lotus" as his bedside reading. Although he had practiced Taoism for many years in his previous life, because Luo Yaoniang hated it, he also learned a lot of sex techniques for his wedding night.

Yao Niang was tortured by him, but she could still bear the pain of losing her virginity. He said it gently, but in fact she was extremely out of control later. After the first time, she did it two or three times.

It was only because he showed sympathy for Yao Niang that he did not continue to bother her.

The legs of the people waiting outside had gone numb several times. Fortunately, the bell rang in the house, so they dared to come in. Yao Niang was already in a weak state and had to be helped up by the maid.

Gao Xuance's eyes were filled with smiles. After being reborn for many years, now was the happiest moment for him.

He was really happy that the two of them had such a harmonious sex life.

Under the hot water, all the pores on Yao Niang's body opened up. He was on top the first two times, and she was on top the last time. She felt like her waist was about to break.

After taking a bath, Yao Niang changed into her underwear. Because it was hot in August, even her pajamas were made of gauze. She wore a bellyband with a white background embroidered with lotus flowers inside, exposing her white chest. The gauze covered the outside, which not only failed to cover it, but made it vaguely visible, which made people feel more excited.

Yao Niang was sleeping on the outside. She was very sleepy just now, but now she was unusually awake.

She covered herself with a thin quilt. From the past to now, even when she slept with Shi Yu, she didn't like sharing a quilt with others, as she always felt that the air was leaking around her shoulders.

Gao Xuance saw that Yao Niang looked calm, not as infatuated as before, but rather distant. He suddenly felt sad: "Yao Niang, was I too rough just now and hurt you too much?"

Yao Niang had no idea what he was asking, so she turned around and looked at him: "Don't worry, I am feeling a little uncomfortable. It's probably my first time, and my body aches unbearably."

Being distant is the best way to attract people. It is boring for a person to reveal all his cards to others.

But Gao Xuance was attracted by her beauty. At one moment he saw her as gentle and affectionate, and at another moment she was cold as ice. He felt his heart was up and down, and he was even a little nervous.

This is exactly what Yao Niang wants. Of course, for people who love each other, they should be honest with each other, but for people who can only get along after marriage, this cannot be done.

"Let me see." Gao Xuance sat up and put his hands on her legs.

Yao Niang's face instantly turned red: "What are you going to do?"

"See if you are hurt anywhere?" Gao Xuance asked as a matter of course.

Yao Niang shook her head vigorously: "No need, it's nothing, I've already seen it when I was bathing just now, it's nothing."

Seeing that she was really shy, Gao Xuance also said considerately: "Then I'll bring the ointment. If you feel uncomfortable, you can apply it yourself. Also, it's getting late today, Sister Yao, you should have a good rest."

"Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking. Your Highness, please go to bed early."

Gao Xuance went over and kissed her. Her skin was as smooth as jelly tofu. She felt satisfied after just one kiss and wanted to sip a few more times.

But Yao Niang saw that he was aroused from time to time, far more passionate than she thought, and thought to herself, doesn't he have someone in the room? How can he be like a virgin?

Not to mention that men read erotic books, women also read many story books. Yao Niang also knew this and was afraid that he would do it again, so she advised: "Your Highness, you must also take care of yourself, so that you can wait until the next day."

She still hoped that he would live a long life.

Gao Xuance liked listening to her talk, and felt very happy to see that she cared about him.

The two looked at each other and then closed their eyes.

When I woke up again, it was almost dawn. I didn't feel anything last night, but when I woke up, my body, especially my lower body, was very sore.

But her mind was unusually clear. When she first entered the palace to be a companion to her studies, she positioned herself as a "nerd". Being a nerd allowed her to stay safe in the palace. It was also because of this that no one would believe her even if Tang Huijun said she was vicious. At the same time, it was also because of this that she was able to survive in the palace.

It was precisely because of her good knowledge that she not only won the favor of Princess Zhenyang, but also Concubine Hong Guifei liked her quite a lot.

But even so, Concubine Hong originally wanted Zhuang Lingyi to be the Princess of Chen. The attitude of the Duke of Xian's Mansion was ambiguous, and Zhuang Lingyi herself was quite stupid. She revealed her so-called orthodox ideas several times, which led to her failure to be selected.

Now that she has entered the palace, she must recognize her own status.

She has to survive well in this palace, and Prince Chen should be the person he is closest to.

As for things like being filial to the mother-in-law, they are secondary. Concubine Hong loves the prince of Chen and all his family members. Only if the prince of Chen has always liked her, will Concubine Hong like her. Otherwise, even if the prince of Chen likes a commoner girl, Concubine Hong will accept her.

Is there any mother in this world who can prevail over her son? The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law all depends on how the husband in the middle acts.

Gao Xuance wakes up very early every day because he has to learn the Jingchu long sword in the morning. Today he was a little late, and Yao Niang also sat up suddenly.

"We still have to meet the Emperor and the Consort today, so let's get up now." Gao Xuance said with a smile.

Yao Niang nodded shyly, and suddenly remembered something: "I heard that Prince An and the Lord of Qingxi County also got married on the same day as us yesterday?"

"You're right. We should go to the Zhenyi Palace together to pay our respects later. Don't worry, you see your mother often." Gao Xuance smiled.

Yesterday evening, the maids-in-waiting and eunuchs in the prince's residence had no idea what the Princess Chen looked like. They only knew that she was a beauty, but they did not expect her to be so beautiful.

No wonder there is no one in the room for such a beautiful woman who makes people fall in love at first sight.

Yao Niang changed into another red dress today, a long red skirt with golden crabapple flowers and a phoenix tail. However, she did not care about her appearance first, but just dressed appropriately, and her heart was on Gao Xuance.

"Your Highness."

Gao Xuance was stroking a jade pendant, thinking that after his marriage, he didn't know which of the six ministries his father would assign him to. It would be best if it was the Ministry of Revenue.

He only heard Yao Niang calling him, and he looked over quickly: "What's going on?"

Yao Niang shook her head: "Nothing, just calling you."

Gao Xuance heard this and hurried over, holding her shoulders and said, "Silly girl, don't worry, I will help you with everything."

He thought she was afraid of being embarrassed, so Gao Xuance quickly gave her some reassurance.

In this way, the couple set out for the Zhenyi Palace.

It happened that Prince An and his wife also came over. Although Gao Xuandu had two roommates before his marriage, it was said that after he kissed Mu Wantong, Mu Wantong became very jealous, so he didn't dare to touch those two people.

Mu Wantong is cute and clever, her appearance is already beyond everyone's, and she is also very smart. But as an ordinary woman, when she hears that another woman is better, she always wants to see her.

Today is the opportunity.

"Brother Xuandu, are we going to the Zhenyi Palace with Prince Chen and his wife to pay respects today? Everyone in the palace says that your third sister-in-law is a rare beauty, and now we can finally see her."

Prince An thought that his princess came from a remote place, and Prince Zhennan doted on her and was difficult to discipline, so she had a stubborn and arrogant temper and a strong possessiveness towards him, but fortunately she was very good to him.

Especially yesterday, she said that she had spent a fortune to ask a doctor to treat her lameness, and it was obvious that she was wholeheartedly thinking about him.

Now he was very tolerant of these harmless little things: "Third sister-in-law used to be a companion to Princess Zhenyang in the palace. I only heard that she liked reading very much, but I don't know anything else."

Mu Wantong felt a little relieved after hearing this.

At this time, Yao Niang and Gao Xuance had already come over in sedan chairs. Before, in the palace, Yao Niang could only walk and could not have such a scene. Now, she can also sit in a sedan chair, which is quite a feeling.

She looked at Gao Xuance who was riding in the sedan chair in front of her, and thought to herself, this man is the one who truly does not bother with love affairs. They were so affectionate last night, but today he has become so reserved again. I wonder what he is thinking.

Fortunately, his expression was softer when facing me.

For example, when they arrived at the Zhenyi Palace, he took the initiative to help her down. Yao Niang looked at him and always felt that every day he was alive was a gift. This was different from Jinghao. Brother Hao still had his mother to take care of him, so she could watch over him all the time. Moreover, Jinghao was just the youngest son of the Luo family, and the status of Prince Chen was special. She was afraid that she could not protect him.

She is probably the only one in the world who knows what happened in her past life. This is both fortunate and unfortunate.

If she didn't know about Prince Chen's death, she might be indulging in her husband's favor now.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Yao Niang always used respectful titles in front of others so that she would not be caught by others. Living in the palace required extreme caution.

"Let's go in." Seeing her like this, Gao Xuance quickly comforted her with a smile.

Just at this moment, the sedan chair of Prince An and his wife had arrived. When the two met, Mu Wantong recognized Gao Xuance. He was usually dressed in gorgeous clothes and was very elegant. Today, he was ten times more elegant than before, like a peacock spreading its tail. The woman standing next to him was tall and slender, with an unparalleled appearance and beautiful pearls. Anyone who saw such a girl would be happy.

What's more, when she looked at Gao Xuance, she was so tender and gentle that she was extremely gentle.

Yao Niang also looked at Prince An and his wife. Yao Niang knew Prince An Gao Xuandu. He was not tall and looked like an average person. On the contrary, the girl standing beside him was petite and cute. The mole on the tip of her nose made her look even more playful and beautiful. She smiled slightly when she saw Mu Wantong looking at her.

Mu Wantong originally thought that Prince Chen was an arrogant person, and so was his wife, but she didn't expect her to be so gentle. Because Mu Wantong lost her mother when she was young, her body was covered with thorns, and no one had ever smiled at her so gently.

Just as he was about to speak, a eunuch came out to invite him in, and Prince Chen went in first.

At the top of the Zhenyi Hall sat Emperor Jianzhang, with two imperial concubines, Lin and Hong, and three concubines, Yan, on his left and right. The recently favored Concubine Li did not come because she was pregnant.

As soon as the two couples walked in, Emperor Jianzhang's attention was all drawn to Gao Xuance and Yao Niang. Among all his sons, his third son was the tallest and the most handsome in his life, and his daughter-in-law was well-mannered. They were truly a perfect match made in heaven.

Concubine Hong was also very proud. As soon as she came in, she overshadowed the fourth son and his wife. Although overshadowing the fourth son was not a big deal, she always felt proud when she looked at her son.

This was often the saddest time for Concubine Yan. She and her son had become lame in one leg for the sake of safety. Although he had married the daughter of King Zhennan, his son's condition was the greatest sorrow.

When Yao Niang looked up at the palace again, she found that Emperor Jianzhang's complexion was not as good as when he was a prince. Concubine Hong had not changed much, but Concubine Lin looked older and looked like two generations apart from Concubine Hong. Concubine Yan also looked very serious.

The favored concubines in the harem look more relaxed, while those who are not favored always look neglected and cautious.

This feeling is subtle, but it is real.

Yao Niang now feels that it is understandable that Concubine Hong wants Prince Chen to marry the daughter of Duke Xian. It is not difficult to obtain power, but it is extremely difficult to keep it.

When she came to her senses, the palace maid had already come forward and placed the cushion, and Yao Niang knelt slightly to the right of Prince Chen and saluted.

Gao Xuance's salute to Emperor Jianzhang was also very beautiful. Prince An was not so agile due to his disabled legs. Mu Wantong felt sad for her husband when she saw it.

Yao Niang didn't mean to laugh at the contrast, but when Gao Xuance stood up, she instantly realized the cruelty of the palace. If you become weak, no one will sympathize with you.

This made her even more determined to have an heir.

"Ce'er, Du'er, since you have already gotten married, you should grow old together and love each other wholeheartedly." Emperor Jianzhang said with a loving smile.

Gao Xuance and Gao Xuandu both bowed in response.

They paid their respects to the two imperial concubines and Concubine Yan one by one. The three of them smiled gently and gave them many gifts. Yao Niang and Mu Wantong knelt down to pay their respects.

The son is her own, so she sees him often anyway. Among the new daughters-in-law, only Yao Niang looks very healthy and charming. Similarly, Mu Wantong has become a young woman.

Concubine Yan had met Yao Niang before, and seeing her again this time after two years had a different feeling. At that time, she was just a young girl, but now she has become the stunningly beautiful Princess Chen.

But thinking back, the Prince of Zhennan had military power, and he regarded his daughter as a treasure, far more precious than the second daughter of a Minister of Rites.

After everyone finished paying their respects, Emperor Jianzhang was obviously more fond of Prince Chen. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Next month we will go hunting in the autumn. You must go hunting with me in the Chengde hunting ground. If you kill one more tiger, I will reward you handsomely."

Autumn Hunt? Yes, this was because the guards were in disrepair, so the emperor used this method to promote talents, mostly the sons of nobles and talents selected by the guards.

Could it be that the Prince was injured in the Autumn Hunt?

Gao Xuance knew that this was a good opportunity for the Lin family to make a move. The Hong family had a weak foundation in the military, and the woman they married, Yao Niang, was the daughter of a civil official, completely different from a noble family like the Marquis of Zhongjing.

In his previous life, he was poisoned in the palace and almost discovered it when he drank deer blood during the autumn hunt.

Otherwise, you won’t even know how you died.

Now in front of the emperor, Gao Xuance readily agreed, looking like a proud little rooster: "Father, I will not only kill the tiger, but also a bear for you."

"Okay, okay, I'll give you the Xuanyun bow as a reward." Emperor Jianzhang liked to see the vigor and vitality in his son the most.

Concubine Hong smiled coquettishly: "Your Majesty, please don't get used to him. How can a little boy be worthy of using such a good bow?"

Forget it, he still treats Gao Xuance as a child in front of the emperor and his concubine. Yao Niang wondered which child was so strong, but when she thought of her husband's future danger, she felt distressed.

Therefore, when the emperor gave a banquet, everyone sat down. Yao Niang felt a little guilty, because she was going to use him after all, so she stood up immediately to serve the dishes.

Mu Wantong was very tired from all the formalities today, so when she was able to sit down, she sat down immediately.

Little did she know that the third sister-in-law would immediately stand up and serve the food. She had never learned how to serve food. Although she had learned needlework and cooking, she had never served anyone.

Gao Xuance was always very smart. When he saw Yao Niang serving him food, he did not defend her directly in front of Concubine Hong. Instead, he said, "This fresh shrimp presented by the chef of the Guangdong Mansion is not often made in the palace. Can you peel it for me?"

"Okay, Your Highness." Yao Niang smiled. This way, she could test the poison directly. She was worried that she had no way to protect Prince Chen.

Her delicate hands looked particularly graceful when she peeled the shrimp. Concubine Hong looked at her son who was drinking and talking, then looked at her daughter-in-law, and suddenly felt that her son was too bullying.

How could a man let his bride serve him like this on the first day of marriage? Is this true love that he has risked his life for? Concubine Hong even felt that her son was not as considerate as the emperor.
