Chapter 147 Paying Homage to the Palace
The two newbies were busy for half the night last night, and this morning they snuggled together in the quilt and slept soundly.
It was Aunt Jinping who was reliable. She knocked on the door and greeted the two masters at the right time, waking them up from their sweet dreams.
Jiang Wan opened her eyes and stared at the unfamiliar red bed curtains for several seconds before realizing she had moved. Turning her head to the side, she saw a large man approaching her enthusiastically and biting her snow-white neck twice.
"Hiss! Get out of here! Can't you hear what Aunt Jinping is saying outside? We need to get up quickly, pack up, and go to the palace to pay our respects."
"What's the rush? It's still early.
I've heard that women's first time is very uncomfortable, and they feel pain all over when they wake up in the morning. My dear, does it hurt?
Otherwise, let's sleep a little longer. Anyway, whether it's early or late, Father and Mother won't have any complaints."
Li Chengxiu turned around and shouted outside the door.
"Don't rush me, wait a moment!"
Sure enough, the knocking on the door and greetings stopped, and Jiang Wan raised his hand helplessly and pulled his ear.
"What are you yelling about? Those people outside the door who don't know about it will definitely think it's wrong. Isn't it embarrassing?"
Then she thought that this guy had good intentions, so she changed her hand movements from twisting to kneading, and replied softly.
"I feel okay, not too bad."
Now it was Li Chengxiu's turn to feel uncomfortable. He grumbled with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
"We're a married couple, sworn brothers, how can we be embarrassed? And wife, are you saying this to dislike me? You were praising me last night... well..."
"Shut up!"
Jiang Wan, a man with a stable mental state, was also irritated by this foolish thing and his face flushed red. He covered his mouth with his left hand and lifted the person with his right hand. With a strong flip, he pushed the clingy person aside, then sat up from the bed and put on his clothes.
"Hurry up and get dressed, don't delay going to the palace to pay your respects."
"I see. How about I help you get dressed?"
"No need, everyone wears their own clothes."
"oh."
With a look of regret on his face, Li Chengxiu retracted his claws that were ready to move. He then leaned to one side, supported his head with one hand, and stared at his beautiful wife, with a smug smile on his handsome face.
"My wife is so pretty!"
Jiang Wan also turned to look at him with a smile in her eyes.
"When you were little, I told you to read more, but you refused to listen. Now, look at me, the only nice thing you can say to praise me is this."
"Who said that?"
A certain prince retorted unconvincedly.
"How beautiful, my wife!"
"Bah, you are ignorant and incompetent."
Jiang Wan put on her clothes, got out of bed, and patted him.
"Get up quickly."
The man, who was very satisfied with the photoshoot, got out of bed and dressed quickly. He opened the door and the servants came in one after another carrying all kinds of toiletries.
After the couple had packed up, they had a sweet breakfast together and then took the carriage to the palace on time.
When we arrived at the Queen's Fengming Palace, it was still early. The Emperor, the Crown Prince, and Prince Jing hadn't left court yet.
Several high-ranking concubines in the palace, as well as the Crown Princess and Princess Jing, were already waiting there with their children. Listening from afar, it seemed they were all happily gathered together.
"Mother, I have brought my wife to pay my respects to you!"
"Mother, I am late in paying my respects. I hope you will forgive me!"
The Prince of Qi and his wife were quite good people. As soon as they entered the room, they begged for mercy in a sensible manner. As expected, the Queen smiled and waved her hands in a partial manner.
"Come here quickly, Wanjie. Who said you were late? You're clearly here quite early. Your father and the others haven't even left court yet!"
He waved impatiently at his son.
"Fourth Brother, go play with Fifth Brother and the others in the side hall first, and come back when they're serving tea. The ladies should chat about some private matters, and you, a man, shouldn't just stand there!"
This is truly a true mother, without any water or impurity. When she dislikes her son, she really does dislike him.
Li Chengxiu looked at the women in the room and felt that it was indeed inappropriate for him to sit there. He could only blink at his wife reluctantly and then, with a kind heart, tell his mother.
"Mother, please let my wife sit down and talk."
"I see. Why would you bother with that?"
After sending her annoying son away, the queen pulled her beloved daughter-in-law to sit beside her and began to ask about her well-being.
"How's it going? Did that bastard Li Laosi bully you? If there's anything wrong, tell mother and I'll take care of him later."
A smile bloomed on Jiang Wanle's lips, and her already beautiful face became even more vivid after being moisturized by the lovemaking.
Not to mention men, even women would be moved when they see it!
"Don't worry, mother. His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi treats me very well. I will live a good life with him."
"As long as you are satisfied."
The Queen carefully observed that what Wan Jie'er said did not seem to be a lie, so she felt relieved and smiled comfortably.
After all, he had raised this girl for several years, so how could he not have feelings for her? Although he knew his son liked his younger sister, men were so fickle.
Her youngest son was not the kind to be entertained easily, and Miss Wan was often unruly. The Queen was truly worried that if the couple didn't get along after marriage, how would they live?
Fortunately, the fourth brother is different from his bastard father.
"Now that you and the fourth brother are married, you are both adults. You are not allowed to act like that anymore. If you two live a good life, your mother and I can have a few more days of peace."
"Yes, I know, mother, don't worry."
The relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which is as close as that of mother and daughter, made the other people sitting next to them look very subtle for a moment.
"I only knew that the Empress was kind and gentle to the people in the harem, but I didn't expect that she was even more loving towards her daughter-in-law. I really envy the Crown Princess and the Princess of Qi. Oh, and Princess Jing, too. You are so blessed to have such a loving mother-in-law to care for you."
Concubine He glanced at the Crown Princess, her eyes clearly showing her interest in the fun. Jiang Wan looked up at Zhu Mingfu, who was trying to stir up trouble, and didn't quite understand what she was trying to do by suddenly appearing there for no reason.
The Queen pinched Jiang Wan's fingers, signaling her to be quiet. Sure enough, the Crown Princess spoke with a virtuous smile.
"What Consort He said is absolutely right. We sisters-in-law also feel that being the Queen Mother's daughter-in-law is truly a blessing earned in a previous life. Second sister-in-law, Fourth sister-in-law, what do you two think?"
Since the question was asked to her face, Princess Jing, who was not very talkative, could only nod in agreement.
"The Crown Princess has a point."
Jiang Wan follows the crowd.
"The Crown Princess is absolutely right."
He Fei touched her belly and laughed too.
"So, from now on, we, the concubines, must be like the Empress, and be kind and sensible mothers-in-law. Sister Xianfei, what do you think?"
The virtuous concubine looked at this woman and felt that she was bored and had nothing to do. Ever since her dragon fetus died four years ago, she would occasionally stand up and seek death.
In other words, the Queen Mother has become more patient now that she is older. If she were younger, it would be strange if she didn't get slapped in the face.
