Chapter 477: Sleeping together is the rule, I like to sleep with someone in my arms
Chenning Palace is the palace closest to Zhaoyang Palace.
Towards evening, Xiao Dongzi came twice more.
One time, they sent dinner, and another time, they sent bathing ointment, saying that it was a new tribute from the south.
Ji Qingwu told him to put it down without saying anything else. Xiao Dongzi could only walk away, looking back every few steps.
Fanghua saw this and gave some to Ji Qingwu when she was bathing, and also said a lot of good things.
Ji Qingwu also praised the ointment for its fresh and pleasant scent and for making the skin moisturized and smooth after use, but he did not mention the person who gave it to him.
At night, Ji Qingwu was wearing a light red middle-length dress, lying on her back with her long hair spread out on the edge of the bed. Lanzhi held a heater in her hands to dry her hair.
She listened to Fanghua talking about what had been put into the inner storehouse today, and slowly closed her eyes.
Fanghua's voice suddenly paused, then continued slowly.
Ji Qingwu felt her scalp getting hot. She closed her eyes and tilted her head, saying, "Lanzhi, hold it away. Be careful not to burn my head into a bald spot."
The half-dry long hair was lifted up and seemed to be placed at a higher place. A warm air flow rushed over, and Ji Qingwu sighed comfortably.
Fanghua finished reading the gift list and whispered, "I'll take my leave first."
Ji Qingwu's eyelids were heavy, he closed his eyes and nodded, "Aunt has worked hard all day, rest early."
As my head shook, my hair fell naturally. In a short while, my hair was completely dry, faster than usual.
Ji Qingwu said, "Lanzhi, you should go down and rest too."
But before Lanzhi could answer, Ji Qingwu spoke again: "Wait, Lanzhi."
Her white jade-like eyelids moved, and her lips, which were moist and pink after bathing, opened and closed.
"Go to the door now, close and lock the palace gate, and don't let anyone in. I'm going to sleep."
Lanzhi sat on the edge of the couch without moving.
Ji Qingwu tilted his head upwards, opened his eyes, half-squinted his eyes to adapt to the light in front of him, and saw a hand with distinct knuckles twirling around his black hair.
Ji Qingwu didn't even need to look up to know who this person was who came quietly.
She breathed out through her nose, snorted, and retreated to the inside of the bed, trying to keep some distance from him.
Zhao Mingyan's face was immersed in the shadows. He looked at the person curled up at the innermost part of the bed and said in a lukewarm tone, "The queen has a bad temper. She even wants to lock me out."
Ji Qingwu simply turned over and faced him with his butt.
The sight behind her made her back tense. She looked at the wall and asked, "Why is His Majesty here?"
Zhao Mingyan coughed and said, "It is a rule to sleep together for the first three days of a wedding."
Ji Qingwu said coldly: "So that's why your majesty came here."
Emperor Wu Su did not deny it.
There was a rustling sound behind him. It was him taking off his clothes. Ji Qingwu moved closer, wishing he could stick to the wall.
The candles in the hall were blown out, and her eyes fell into darkness.
The mattress beside him collapsed and Emperor Wu Su lay down, with a distance of eight feet between them.
Ji Qingwu couldn't help but think of what happened last night. The emperor was very good at pretending to be angry. The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and her eyes opened wider than copper bells.
After half a quarter of an hour, he probably thought she had fallen asleep, so he put one arm across her waist, but Ji Qingwu shook his hand away.
"I'm asleep, don't disturb me."
In the darkness, Zhao Mingyan's eyes sparkled with brilliance, and with a smile on his lips, he asked, "Awu likes to sleep with his eyes open?"
Ji Qingwu said arrogantly: "Is it not possible?"
Zhao Mingyan smiled and said, "Okay, Ah Wu can do whatever he wants."
The heavy arm came up again. Ji Qingwu wanted to shake it off, but he hooked her wrist instead. Then, her back was pressed against his warm chest, which had the same fragrance as hers.
Zhao Mingyan said: "Awu likes to sleep with his eyes open, and I like to sleep with someone in my arms."
The cold wall was no match for the warm human-shaped stove, so Ji Qingwu only struggled slightly.
She sarcastically asked, "Your Majesty used to sleep with the concubines in your arms like this before?"
The fingers on her waist froze, and Zhao Mingyan said, "Hasn't Ah Wu read the daily records? Why are you asking this?"
Ji Qingwu said: "Things can be faked, but sincerity cannot. I still want to hear it from your Majesty himself."
Zhao Mingyan tightened his arms, placed his palms on her soft belly, and said, "When Ah Wu was not around, I slept alone."
Ji Qingwu had rested in the afternoon and was now clear-headed. She continued to interrogate him, "Your Majesty also said that you like to sleep with someone in your arms. When did you develop this habit?"
Zhao Mingyan whispered in her ear: "It happened recently."
Hearing this, Ji Qingwu's eyes flashed, and she jumped up from the bed, staring at his blurry outline in the night.
"But your majesty didn't hold me in his arms when he slept last night. It shows that habits can be changed."
The smile on Zhao Mingyan's lips froze.
Last night, he really lost control.
He didn't care about any special abilities, he already knew that she was special.
However, when he found out that Ji Qingwu was close to him and that his motives were not pure and not entirely sincere, he could not suppress his anger.
But no matter what happened, he took great pains to marry her back to the palace, and their wedding night should not be interrupted.
All the anger that had been built up in his chest was released towards her, and he lashed out at her without sparing any effort.
He admitted that he was overly possessive of her and almost pathological.
When Ji Qingwu lay under him, his eyes were wet and he called his name again and again, as if begging for mercy, as if he was sinking pitifully.
He thought that it was not unacceptable...
As long as she was still by his side, it would be fine.
However, when he came to his senses and saw the marks all over her body, he felt heartache, annoyance, and a bit of guilt.
She had read the yellow book in vain, and he was the one who brought her the greatest pain. He almost escaped from Chenning Palace.
During the day, Zhao Mingyan felt very uneasy in Zhaoyang Palace, and he sent two capable eunuchs in the imperial court to Chenning Palace several times, just to see if she was okay, what she was doing, and whether she had any intention of looking for him.
He waited until the evening and finally couldn't wait any longer and came to Chenning Palace to find her.
When he first heard her ordering the maid to lock the door, he thought she was disappointed in him and would be angry for a while.
But Ji Qingwu was easy to coax and expressed his emotions out loud.
At this moment, her lips were pouting like a duck, and her eyes were flickering with grievance.
Zhao Mingyan said in a low voice: ".......I was wrong."
Ji Qingwu sensed his change in attitude, sat cross-legged on the bed, put his hands on his hips and said, "I have special abilities, is this my fault?"
Zhao Mingyan shook his head.
Ji Qingwu bent down, approached his face, wanted to see his expression clearly, and said: "I don't want you to get hurt, is this my fault?"
Zhao Mingyan shook his head sincerely.
Ji Qingwu became even more aggressive. She pulled his ear and said angrily, "I'm telling you the truth. Can you really blame me for this?"
The familiar three questions made Zhao Mingyan speechless again.
He threw his arms around her waist and pulled her against him.
