Chapter 61: Palm Wind Extinguishes the Red Candle (Bridal Chamber)
Shen Yuheng suddenly picked up a strand of hair by her ear and his eyes swept across her smooth forehead.
There is a faint pink indentation on the delicate white skin.
"Is it heavy?"
Lu Qiaoxiao was grateful that someone finally discovered this matter, so he nodded repeatedly.
A hint of smile flashed across Shen Yuheng's cold eyes, and he raised his hand to help her take off the phoenix crown: "I've already told you, you can tell me anything, no need to be shy."
Lu Qiaoxiao felt that her face must have turned red. Just now, when the master raised his chin slightly to help her gently untie the phoenix crown, his eyes were as gentle as a mirror, and his chin almost touched her hair.
That delicate, frictional touch.
His body felt lighter, and his mood also became much more relaxed. Lu Qiaoxiao curled his lips quite comfortably, but his eyes met a burning gaze.
"Da... Ah... Ah Heng." She swallowed nervously, but felt her throat tighten.
It was because Shen Yuheng's eyes at this moment seemed to want to suck people in, deep and long.
As their eyes met, Shen Yuheng's breathing became heavier and his ears turned red as if blood was about to drip out.
Lu Qiaoxiao's heart almost jumped out of his throat.
"Qingzhi." Shen Yuheng's voice seemed to tremble, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his eyes fell dimly on the woman.
Her eyes were as bright as a mirror lake reflected by the moonlight, and her lips were red and beautiful.
On weekdays, the little mouth always calls "Adult" and "Adult".
She didn't know how good it sounded.
The day I first met her.
On the Bian River, he sat on the second floor of a teahouse, and she stood on the Liangsheng Bridge, her lively face more vivid than the red peaches by the lake in the sunlight.
When the child fell into the water, she, a woman, jumped into the water faster than anyone else.
Later he found out that she was the legitimate daughter of the Yong'an Marquisate.
Seeing that she fell in love with Pei Jinxuan, she couldn't stop.
During those years, he was focused on state affairs and could not bear to hear any news about her, but he was also reluctant to give up any news about her.
Later, the day she went to the Pei family to break off the engagement was the happiest day of his life.
Shen Yuheng looked at her as if he was looking at the moon reflected in the Tianchi Lake of Changbai Mountain.
The bright moon is like frost, the wind is like water, and the scenery is endless.
It was the moonlight that he once looked at from afar but was out of reach.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuheng held her hand in his palm and rubbed it carefully, from the smooth back of her hand——
To the rough, thin cocoon—
Then to the delicate base of the palm——
Lu Qiaoxiao felt weak in the pinch. Shen Yuheng called her nickname, and in the quiet night, it was like the light flowing down from the Milky Way.
Hit your heart again and again.
The scene of Shen Yuheng sweeping the dust and setting up the wine in front of her tombstone in her previous life appeared in her mind. His eyes were empty and he was as dull as a hollow man.
Is that sad for her?
Now, he was wearing a fiery red wedding gown, and the flickering candlelight danced on his delicate face, adding a bit of intoxicating charm to his frosty face.
Lu Qiaoxiao couldn't help but think of the day when they climbed up the pagoda together, the sunset glow shining on his cheeks, and his steady and powerful hands were like this -
He squeezed her palm gently.
That feeling is warm and soft.
"I will repay your kindness in this life..." Master Yuanyi's compassionate face seemed to reappear.
Lu Qiaoxiao took a deep breath, looked at the man in front of him with deep eyes and uneven breathing, lowered his chin and nodded slightly.
Shen Yuheng seemed relieved, his eyelashes trembling slightly.
His hands trembled as he put them around her waist, and with clumsy movements, he carefully placed her head on his shoulder.
A thought flashed through Lu Qiaoxiao's mind: As expected, Prime Minister Shen is just as people say outside, he doesn't know much about matters between men and women.
Lu Qiaoxiao thought of the rumor that Chen Xiang had eliminated all lust.
Suddenly, the body was pulled away by a strong force——
The man's hot body pressed against her, rubbing against her chin, forehead, and finally her lips.
Lu Qiaoxiao's mind went blank as he was unable to breathe.
Turn the world upside down.
I didn't expect that he, a mere civil official, could be so barbaric.
Lu Qiaoxiao's competitive blood suddenly surged, and she didn't want to be outdone, so she hooked her arms around his neck.
Shen Yuheng's breathing became heavier, and his eyes were dim and flickering under the candlelight.
Lu Qiaoxiao suddenly felt a lightness under her body, and was laid horizontally by the man on the inside of the couch.
The red candle was extinguished silently by the palm wind.
In the darkness, Lu Qiaoxiao's eyes were as bright as stars, but she could only vaguely see a body closely intertwined with her.
He nibbled his earlobe and pinched her lower back a little harder.
When she was completely lost in thought, she heard Shen Yuheng murmur, "My dear, my dear."
It's like calling out for the most precious treasure in the world.
The next day.
Lu Qiaoxiao woke up with aches all over his body, as if he had been thrown into a frying pan and fried. The tingling sensation spread from his heart to every part of his body.
She opened her sleepy eyes and subconsciously touched her side, only to find it empty.
Harmful and shameful.
Lu Qiaoxiao covered her face shyly. She recalled her not-so-pleasant sleeping posture last night. She looked like a crab, with her hands and feet wrapped around Shen Yuheng.
I don’t know how Shen Yuheng moved her away in the morning.
The quilt was wrapped around her with only her head exposed. Lu Qiaoxiao suddenly recalled that on the second morning after her wedding in her previous life, she was called by her mother-in-law to set up rules.
In order to tease her, he even talked about how sensible, gentle and lovely Lin Miaofu was in front of her mistress.
Phew… luckily it’s over.
but--
Last night's appearance,
If it weren't for the fact that Shen Yuheng had been a monk who abstained from meat for many years, and now that he had married, he wanted to start eating meat, and the situation got out of control?
"Miss, Miss! You're awake!"
Before the door was opened, I heard the little girl Baizhi screaming happily.
She ran over excitedly and said, "Miss, do you want to get up? My uncle has asked the kitchen to prepare breakfast for you."
Lu Qiaoxiao stood up quickly and said solemnly: "I got up too late this morning. Please dress me up. I should go and pay my respects to Lord Xiachen and Madam Qin."
"But the son-in-law said that the young lady was too tired last night, so there is no need to stick to the etiquette. He asked you to rest for a while. There will be plenty of opportunities to visit you in the future." Bai Zhi conveyed Shen Yuheng's instructions before he left one by one.
Lu Qiaoxiao shook his head: "He can say whatever he wants, but we should know the etiquette."
I vaguely remember hearing the old woman who taught me etiquette in my previous life say that visiting the parents-in-law on the morning of the second day after marriage is a sign of etiquette.
After she finished dressing up, the carriage was ready in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
It only takes a cup of tea to drive from the Prime Minister's Mansion to the Shen Mansion. Lu Qiaoxiao regretted that he had to take a sedan chair.
If I had known this, I would have just climbed over the wall.
Shen Mansion:
"Master and Madam, the Third Young Master's wife is here!" The servant hurriedly ran in to report. He saw the sedan chair of the Prime Minister's Mansion from afar, and thought in his heart, didn't the Third Young Master give us a heads-up in advance?
She said the Third Madam would come to pay her respects tomorrow, so why did she come here by herself now?
Before Mr. Shen and Madam Qin could speak, Meng Qinian at the side spoke first: "Wow? Third sister-in-law really knows how to choose the right time to come and pay her respects. We were about to have lunch, and she's so late."
Jiang Ningxia, the wife of the eldest brother Shen Qian, quickly came to the rescue, saying, "Second sister, you've just arrived and might not know anything. Ah Heng has already come to say hello. He said he has something to do today and will come with his new wife to pay his respects to our parents tomorrow."
Madam Qin was graceful. She nodded and said, "I think the third son's wife is a very polite person. I'm afraid this child came here on his own accord."
Meng Qinian glared angrily at Shen Yaoxing, who was busy drinking tea beside him, and motioned him to say a few words.
Chen Yaoxing didn't care at all about the topic they were discussing before, but when his wife glared at him, he couldn't say no.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Dad and Mom, when Qi Nian married into our family, there wasn't so much pretense. Now that the third child has established his own family, we can't control her anymore."
"Yao Xing, what are you talking about? Your sister-in-law will be here soon, so don't talk nonsense here." Shen Qian glanced at Shen Yaoxing as if warning.
At this time, Lu Qiaoxiao walked in with small steps. She glanced at the people sitting in the room and immediately had an idea in her mind.
"Qiao Xiao meets my parents-in-law, my eldest brother and his wife, and my second brother and his wife." Lu Qiao Xiao lowered his body and softened his voice deliberately.
"Get up, get up, good girl, come and sit down." Mrs. Qin looked at Lu Qiaoxiao's bright and beautiful eyes and liked her, so she quickly pulled her to her side.
I heard that although this child is the eldest daughter of the family, she is an approachable girl with an easy-going personality and is not petty at all.
Seeing it today, it is indeed true.
"Hello, mother-in-law." Lu Qiaoxiao felt the warmth in the palm of her hand and felt a little embarrassed.
Mrs. Qin looked at her lovingly, as if she were looking at her own daughter.
In her life, she had three sons but no daughter of her own.
According to her original idea, with her San'er's cold personality, it would be difficult for him to find a girl to marry.
Unexpectedly, this guy brought her a girl so efficiently.
Smart and cute.
