In Kunning Palace, Shunzhi was speechless. If he was not mistaken, his new queen seemed to be asleep.
She had been recuperating for seven days, and she had stayed in the inn without leaving. How could she still be so tired? Could it be that she had become a thief?
That's not right. I have sent people to watch the inn. If she really went out, I would definitely know, so it is impossible for her to go out at all.
Then the only explanation is that she came all the way from Korchin. But she is asleep, so can she still celebrate her wedding night?
Everyone else has entered Kunning Palace. If she leaves the bridal chamber now, she will probably become the laughing stock of the harem tomorrow.
"Forget it, just sleep like this."
Outside the bridal chamber, Tana stood there with a bitter face, just so that she could go up and apologize when Mu Sili was questioned.
She didn't know what happened. Gege was fine at first, but soon she fell asleep out of sleep and no matter how she called her, she couldn't wake her up.
Just when she was about to use brute force to wake her up, Shunzhi came. At that moment, she really wanted to die.
Fortunately, the emperor is in a good mood today, otherwise I would have committed a serious crime. But the princess is asleep. What if the emperor leaves Kunning Palace?
Once the emperor leaves Kunning Palace, the princess will inevitably be disliked by the empress dowager, and her life in the palace will be like hell.
"Your name is Tana, right? Don't worry, today is the day the Emperor and His Majesty are getting married. The Emperor won't be angry."
Wu Liangfu also knew that Mu Sili fell asleep first. To be honest, he was a little speechless, but he couldn't tell anyone about it, otherwise Shunzhi would think he was meddling.
Now, seeing Tana so worried, he actually felt like laughing, completely forgetting how many times he had been frightened.
"Thank you, Eunuch Wu, for your comfort. As long as the Emperor is not angry with the Empress, even if I die, it will be worth it."
"What nonsense! Today is the wedding day of the Emperor and His Majesty. Don't say such things, or His Majesty won't be able to protect you."
Wu Liangfu's tone was harsh, and Tana shivered with fear. She was just making an analogy, and she was not stupid, so how could she possibly die!
I don’t know what’s going on inside, whether the princess has woken up, or whether the emperor will dislike her sleeping posture.
Just as Shunzhi was wondering where to climb onto the bed to fall asleep, Mu Sili woke up.
"Your Majesty? I pay my respects to Your Majesty. I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. I got up early this morning to go through the formalities. I thought I could hold out until you came back, but I fell asleep.
How long have you been back? Would you like some hangover soup? I asked someone to make some before you go to bed.
This extremely ordinary tone made Shunzhi feel at home instantly. Only ordinary couples could talk to each other in such a natural way, right?
Thinking that she was tired after a day, he actually felt distressed.
"It's my fault. I thought you'd recovered after seven days in the capital, but I didn't expect you were still tired. In that case, get some rest while I get some hangover soup."
"Your Majesty won't come with us?"
"I'll be back soon after I've had some hangover soup. Today is our wedding day, and I won't be leaving Kunning Palace. Don't worry."
I haven't had my wedding night yet, and haven't continued to experience the happy life of an ordinary couple. How can I leave?
"I will wait for you, Your Majesty, please go quickly."
"good."
With a creak, the door opened.
When they saw Shunzhi coming out, Wu Liangfu and Tana's faces turned pale, but after seeing that there was no anger on his face, they felt relieved.
The emperor doesn't look angry. Could it be that the queen has woken up?
"Wu Liangfu, the Queen said she prepared some hangover soup for me. Go and bring it to me."
"yes."
Wu Liangfu lowered his head and rolled his eyes. Who is the emperor doing this for? He only drank three glasses of wine in total, and he still needs to drink sobering soup?
Could it be that he did it on purpose to make the Empress feel that it would be difficult for him to get married?
Forget it, no matter what he thinks, I just need to do what the emperor arranges, and don’t worry about anything else.
Shunzhi waited until he had finished the sobering soup before he entered the bridal chamber again. By this time, Mu Sili was completely sober.
The two chatted for a while and then got down to business. The wedding of the emperor and empress was a great event in the world, so Shunzhi did not need to attend court.
If Wu Liangfu hadn't urged them repeatedly outside, I'm afraid the two of them would have slept until noon.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's time to get up. We will go to the Cining Palace to pay our respects. Your Majesty has just arrived, so we can't keep the Empress Dowager waiting for too long."
Wu Liangfu didn't want to do the job of waking people up, but there were plenty of people who would do it if he didn't, so even though he knew Shunzhi would be angry, he still shouted outside the door.
Shunzhi really didn't want to get up. With such a beautiful girl in his hand, who would want to get up?
Even Mu Sili had the same idea. She was too tired last night. She felt like she had just fallen asleep, so why did she have to get up?
Is it really necessary to invite An? Can't you postpone it until later, when I wake up?
"Your Highness, you must get up. Today is your first day to pay respects to the Cining Palace. If you go late, you will be accused of being unfilial."
Shunzhi and Mu Sili looked at each other, and both stood up helplessly. Today was a special day, and they really couldn't break the rules.
"Don't worry, even if we're late, the Empress Dowager won't say anything."
"I know that with the Emperor protecting me, I'm not afraid of anything. But should I follow the Khorchin way of doing things, or the Qing Palace rules?"
Mu Sili just asked casually, but she didn't expect Shunzhi to think about it seriously.
"According to folk sayings, the Qing Dynasty is your husband's family, and you still have to follow the rules in your husband's family. However, I see that you are not one to follow the rules, so just be yourself."
"Your Majesty, do you really trust me to not cause trouble? I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I'm very fierce."
Phew!
Shunzhi laughed out loud. He was quite fierce, so fierce that she could fall down with just a slight wave of his hand.
In his eyes, Mu Sili was simple and could be seen through at a glance. People like her would be lucky if they were not bullied by others, let alone bullying others.
"Your Majesty doesn't seem to trust me. If you don't trust me, you'll suffer. But you are my husband, and I will never use my tricks against you.
The Han Chinese have a saying: "Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog." Since I have married you, you are my heaven. Of course, the premise is that you treat me well."
Shunzhi really found it very novel. Was Mu Sili planning to get along with him as an ordinary couple?
If so, it would be much more interesting.
If the Empress Dowager knew that she had chosen such an interesting queen for herself, would she think that she had made the wrong choice?
