The Regent's Palace.
Xiao Yanchu returned to the bridal chamber with a slight smell of alcohol.
When the wedding attendants saw him enter, they all bowed and took their leave, quietly closing the door behind them.
Looking at Xiao Yanchu's face, which was flushed with the wine, Su Ruojin, sitting on the edge of the bed, felt her own face burning.
Xiao Yanchu slowly sat down next to Su Ruojin, gently put his arm around her waist, and whispered in her ear with a hint of alcohol in his voice, "Ajin, you look so beautiful today."
Su Ruojin felt as if she had been electrocuted, and her whole body stiffened.
Xiao Yanchu immediately sensed her change. A smile played on his lips, and his voice deepened, carrying a hint of seduction, "Ah Jin, are you scared?"
He had thought that even the fearless Ah Jin could feel nervous and scared.
Su Ruojin coughed twice, "Who, who's scared? I just think you've had too much to drink and should have some hangover tea."
After saying that, Su Ruojin broke free from Xiao Yanchu's embrace and went to the table to pour him a cup of tea.
Xiao Yanchu took the tea and drank it, then pulled Su Ruojin into his arms. "Ajin, do you know how long I've waited for this day?"
Su Ruojin quickly grabbed his hand, "Yanchu, I have something to tell you."
It's time to be honest with him about some things.
Xiao Yanchu extended his index finger and gently touched Su Ruojin's thin lips. "Ajin, don't rush. We have a lifetime to talk slowly."
Xiao Yanchu lowered his head and slowly approached Su Ruojin, his voice low and hoarse, "Ajin, close your eyes."
Sensing Xiao Yanchu's increasingly close presence, Su Ruojin obediently closed her eyes like a puppet, feeling a warmth on her lips.
The warmth, though mild, scalded Su Ruojin to the point of losing all her ability to think. She was like a small boat lost in a storm at sea, helpless and letting the storm push her forward.
The moon hung high, and the spring breeze at night made the shadows of the trees sway, so much so that Su Ruojin lost count of how many times she was dizzy from the shadows throughout the night.
Before she finally lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep, she cursed in her heart, "Xiao Yanchu, you're a dog!"
Dead male dog!
Her back is about to break!
......
As is customary, on the second day of their marriage, Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin were to enter the palace to serve tea to the Emperor and Empress Dowager.
Looking at Su Ruojin, who was as soft as a cat on the bed, Xiao Yanchu suppressed his impulse and softly called out, "Ajin."
Su Ruojin felt that she had only been asleep for a while, and Xiao Yanchu's voice was very annoying. "Don't bother me, I want to sleep for a while longer." After saying that, she turned over and continued to sleep.
Xiao Yanchu chuckled softly, a hint of heartache in his eyes. He tucked the blanket around her and quietly left the room. She had indeed been exhausted last night; he should be more restrained in the future.
You can't blame him; Ah Jin is just too tempting.
Hu Qing and Yan Luo were guarding outside the door. When they saw the prince come out alone, Hu Qing stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, it's getting late. It's time to go to the palace."
Xiao Yanchu glanced at the room and said, "Let the Princess sleep a little longer. The Emperor and Empress Dowager won't mind if it's a little later."
"yes!"
When Su Ruojin woke up and arrived at the palace with Xiao Yanchu, it was already an hour late.
Looking at Su Ruojin, dressed in the Regent's Consort's court attire and with her hair styled in a woman's bun, Xiao Chenyi felt that she was even more beautiful than before, and his heart ached even more.
Empress Dowager Wei suppressed her anger at the two for arriving an hour late and looked at them with a smile, "Now that the Regent is being taken care of, I can finally rest assured. Regent's wife, now that you have married into the Regent's residence, you should start producing offspring for our royal family as soon as possible."
Su Ruojin lowered her eyes and answered casually; all she wanted to do now was go back and catch up on some sleep.
"Someone come here." At Empress Dowager Wei's command, a palace maid carried a tray containing a set of jadeite jewelry.
This was considered a gift from the Empress Dowager to the newlyweds, and Su Ruojin bowed and accepted it.
