Chapter 232 Newlyweds
The shadow of the carved window frame was cast on the wall by the sunlight, and Chen Yu finally struggled to wake up.
He stared at the bed curtains in a daze, reminiscing a little, feeling somewhat regretful. His body felt more tired than after a battle, as if he had been run over by a carriage countless times.
Chen Yu gently pulled away the hands that were around her, preparing to roll over Xie Tingzhou and get up to wash.
Just when he was halfway up, Xie Tingzhou pulled him back by the arm, pressed him on top of him, and said in a muffled voice, "It's still early, sleep a little longer."
Xie Tingzhou was also very tired. He had such a great time that he didn't lie down until dawn and slept for less than two hours.
In this life, Chen Yu did not receive any education before she got married, but she still remembered the rules from her previous life.
The bride has to get up early to greet her elders and offer them tea. She also has to get up and dress. If she doesn't get up now, it will be too late.
"I have to get up." Chen Yu struggled in his arms.
Xie Tingzhou didn't let go, "What are you getting up for?"
"You have to get up and serve tea to your parents-in-law."
Xie Tingzhou didn't say anything, as if he had fallen asleep again, but his arms were clasped tightly.
Chen Yu struggled again, and Xie Tingzhou simply turned over and half pressed her down, burying his head in her neck and speaking incoherently.
"We don't have this rule. My dad might not even be up yet."
Chen Yu hadn't slept well to begin with, so she gave up completely and fell asleep again.
After a while, there was a series of flapping sounds under the eaves outside, which completely woke Xie Tingzhou up.
Seeing that Chen Yu was still sleeping, Xie Tingzhou got up, pulled the quilt for her, put on his outer robe and opened the door.
"What are you arguing about?"
Bai Yu was flapping his wings under the eaves, looking quite grumpy.
Xi Feng arrived early in the morning but didn't dare to get close. He only dared to go forward after seeing Xie Tingzhou get up.
Xie Tingzhou rubbed the back of his neck, his outer robe hanging loosely.
His eyes were half open, the redness on his neck had not yet faded, and his whole body revealed a sense of relaxation and laziness after being satisfied.
Xi Feng only took one look and dared not look again, lowering his eyes and said, "Maybe he is hungry."
The Saker Falcon is the king of falcons and still has some wildness in it. After returning to Beilin, it was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. It flew out and played wild for a few days before coming back.
return
Its claws and beak were still stained with blood and meat residue. I don't know where it went hunting.
Xie Tingzhou tied it up with a chain to calm it down.
It got up late today and no one came to feed it, so it was unhappy.
"Go get some grouse meat."
Xie Tingzhou walked forward and Bai Yu immediately jumped onto his arm. When Xie Tingzhou untied the anklet, he heard it make an unhappy cooing sound.
"Are you hungry? No one is here to feed you? This is the first time I've eaten a full meal."
After saying that, he laughed leisurely and turned his head to call for someone: "Come here."
The maid standing in the distance hurried forward, not daring to look directly at him, and kept her head down, waiting for instructions.
Xie Tingzhou stroked Bai Yu's feathers with his fingers to comfort her, and instructed: "Prepare something light for breakfast, and make the porridge lighter. The princess doesn't like thick porridge. Prepare some side dishes and put them in the pot when she wakes up. Don't fumigate her clothes. She doesn't like the clothes that were fumigated the day before."
After saying that, he raised his arm and let Bai Yu jump onto the railing. He turned and walked to the door. Then he remembered something and turned his head back, scanning the maids.
The maids lowered their heads even lower.
Xie Tingzhou said: "There is no need to keep so many people in the courtyard, only two will be enough. These maids are not familiar with her preferences. Send someone to Hezhou to fetch her two personal maids, as well as Da Huang."
"Yes." Xifeng asked, "It's Luyao and Erya, right? What about Hongqiao?"
Xie Tingzhou was silent for a moment, "Forget it, I'll ask her after she wakes up."
Xi Feng responded and retreated, and Xie Tingzhou returned to the room.
Then she saw Chen Yu lying on the pillow, with her face turned sideways towards this side and her eyes half open.
"I woke you up anyway." Xie Tingzhou sat down on the edge of the bed, his fingertips stroking down from her brow bone, stopping at her earlobe and gently twisting it.
"Will you get up for dinner?"
Shen Yu shook her head and muttered, "It hurts."
"Where does it hurt?" Xie Tingzhou asked with a smile.
Chen Yu moved her shoulders and said, "It hurts everywhere."
"Then let me rub it for you." Xie Tingzhou rubbed the back of her neck, looking at her comfortable and satisfied expression, and then his eyes fell on her earlobe.
He recalled the expression on her face when he held her in his mouth last night, and his body began to heat up again.
Slide down voluntarily.
"What are you doing?" Shen Yu was completely awake.
Before she turned over, Xie Tingzhou pressed on her back, put his lips next to her ear and said in a hoarse voice: "I want to have breakfast."
Chen Yu was run over by a car again. She didn't have her so-called breakfast until noon, and she couldn't even open her eyes.
When Xie Tingzhou said that there was no need to pay respects, he really meant it. The old prince himself was a casual person and hated those red tapes the most, so he had the gift for the bride be delivered and that was that.
There were quite a few people sitting in the meeting room of the palace, all of them were the palace's staff and officials below.
The wedding delayed a lot of things. The prince was newlywed, and the people below did not dare to bother him with troublesome matters. They waited for seven days before starting to discuss matters. Many government affairs were waiting for Xie Tingzhou to make the final decision.
After a busy morning, the staff and officials were invited to the side hall for lunch. Xie Tingzhou left the conference room and prepared to go back to the courtyard to have lunch with Shen Yu.
Changliu sat at the door picking out ants for a long time. When he saw Xie Tingzhou, he hurried forward and said, "My Lord, are you going back to find the princess?"
Xie Tingzhou looked at him, implying that he was asking a question even though he knew the answer.
Chang Liu said: "The princess asked me to tell you that we won't have lunch together. She's going to the training ground."
Xie Tingzhou stopped and asked, "Going to the training ground? When?"
"I went there early in the morning." Changliu said.
Xie Tingzhou nodded, "Got it."
After walking a few steps, he asked again, "Did you bring your cloak?"
"No." Chang Liu was smart this time, "Then I'll have someone prepare it and send it to the princess."
Since Xiao Chuan and the soldiers came to Beilin from Shengjing, they have been training in the parade ground.
The four major parade grounds in the east, west, south and north of the royal capital are all occupied by the Qingyun Guards. They were arranged in the southern parade ground where there are fewer people.
These days Xiao Chuan was ordered to recruit soldiers again, and there were more than 10,000 new recruits. Now the South Parade Ground is overcrowded.
Xiao Chuan couldn't directly talk to Xie Tingzhou about expanding the training ground, so he could only invite Chen Yu to discuss it.
"These new recruits are so damn hard to manage." Xiao Chuan squatted on the ground, chewing a white flour bun. "The physiques of the people in Beilin are really different from those in the south. I don't know what they eat to grow up. They are all big and strong, and their temperaments are wild."
