Chapter 92 Bridal Chamber
Su Zhenzhen ignored the noises of the crowd, pursed her lips and swallowed, her lips rosy red, her sparkling eyes watery, and she shyly lowered her eyelashes, looking breathtakingly beautiful.
Nanny Quanfu smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is very considerate. The princess is so blessed." The news had already spread throughout the capital. The princess was simply the winner in life that countless girls dreamed of. His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan was so affectionate to her that he took the initiative to propose to her and even asked His Majesty to grant two imperial edicts. She was loved by her parents and brothers, and she and her husband would be together for the rest of their lives.
Su Zhenzhen pursed her cherry lips shyly. She was a bride today, so no matter what she did, she just had to be shy.
Nanny Quanfu added: "The bride and groom are married and their love for each other is unquestionable." Su Zhenzhen and Rong Jinchen had each cut a lock of hair in advance, so it was not appropriate to use a knife on the wedding day, as scissors are also a knife.
She took out the strand of hair from the sachet embroidered by Rong Jinchen and handed it to Rong Jinchen with a smile. He also took out his own strand of hair from the sachet embroidered by Su Zhenzhen and tied a knot with his fingers skillfully.
At this time, Nanny Quanfu said, "The ceremony is over." After that, she took the light purse given by Gu Heng and led the people downstairs.
There were only onlookers left in the room. Rong Jinchen ignored their gazes and said softly to Su Zhenzhen: "Qingqing, you can have your meal first later. You can take off the phoenix crown and don't crush my Qingqing." He gently pinched her little hand.
It was already past noon, and Su Zhenzhen must be hungry, as the banquet had already begun in the front yard.
Su Zhenzhen said in a soft voice, "Don't drink too much, husband." She said the last part very quietly, her cheeks flushed. Rong Jinchen's eyes were burning, and he stayed there for a long time. He couldn't help but reveal a bright grin with his teeth bared, looking silly.
The voice was so doting that it seemed to be able to squeeze out water, "Qingqing, I will listen to you." It almost floated out.
Su Zhenzhen laughed at him in her heart and was moved by his appearance. He really cared about her.
The Crown Princess and her sisters-in-law did not follow the men out. She smiled and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, this isn't the first time we've met. I'll take you to say hello to my sisters-in-law."
Su Zhenzhen smiled, "Thank you, sister-in-law, the Crown Princess." How could she not understand the Crown Princess's kindness? However, she called Bai Zhi over to help her remove the phoenix crown, "This phoenix crown is really heavy."
The Crown Princess smiled and said, "Princess Jin, you have already met her. This is Princess Duan." She looked at the beautiful woman next to her who was wearing the court dress of a prince's wife. She had a gorgeous face and slightly frowned brows. She was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old and looked very lovable.
Princess Xia Xuan of Prince Duan was only twenty-two years old this year. She just smiled and said to Su Zhenzhen, who was several years younger than her, "Hello, fourth brother's wife." Her smile was sweet, but there was a trace of indelible sorrow and resentment in her.
Su Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Hello, third sister-in-law." Then she looked at Princess Jin and said, "Hello, eldest sister-in-law." She did not stand up. She just wanted to save face by saying hello. Today she was the bride and she was the eldest.
As for tomorrow and beyond, if she wanted to take advantage of the power of others, her father had already said that she only needed to pay her respects to him and the prince.
It was really cool. She didn't want to pay her respects to the concubines in the harem. They were not her real mother-in-law.
He introduced Princesses One, Two, Three, Four, Five, and Six, but Su Zhenzhen still couldn't remember them all. She couldn't even recognize all the princes. She knew she'd remember them after meeting them. Her father also knew she had a bit of face blindness, so she wasn't afraid.
However, because the Fifth Princess had met her once before, she smiled at her, and the Fifth Princess Rong Ruoyan was a little flattered.
When they left for the banquet, Su Zhenzhen couldn't help but move her neck. It was so sore from being pressed, and she didn't dare to move at first. Lu Wu hurriedly gave her a massage.
Bai Zhi has already ordered the meal, without any restraint. She represents the face of their princess, so she cannot be petty.
The newly promoted maids had undergone several months of training and were a little timid about being the princess's personal maids.
Steward Gu Heng had repeatedly warned them that they were not to serve His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, but rather His Royal Highness the Princess. They were forbidden to approach His Royal Highness, or else he would kick them until they bled.
When Su Zhenzhen accepted the betrothal gift, she had already received the enthronement ceremony, with a golden seal and a golden book. The golden seal was only for the empress and the crown princess.
What's more, there are those two imperial edicts, which say that turning into a phoenix by flying to a tree is real only if one loses his life.
Therefore, when faced with the instructions of Miss Baizhi, the princess's capable first-class maid, she took them very seriously, not to mention that Manager Gu had already given instructions in advance.
Moreover, according to the laws of this dynasty, the princess can be accompanied by two female officials of the fourth rank, four female officials of the fifth rank, and the rest eight. Generally speaking, the female officials are all the princess's trusted maids, and can also be granted by the palace.
Therefore, they were very polite to the future female officials, and the princess would definitely let her trusted maid serve as a female official.
Su Zhenzhen had a simple light meal, took a shower and changed her clothes, then changed into a thin red gauze dress, and wore only a bellyband embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water.
Bai Zhi tied Su Zhenzhen's black hair into a simple bun. When she looked down at her, she couldn't help but blush. Her lady, oh no, the princess is so beautiful. His Highness is so lucky.
Su Zhenzhen yawned lazily and prepared to go to sleep to replenish her energy.
By the way, she asked Baizhi Luwu to collect the pile of prickly dried fruits on the bed, and she would keep them for later consumption.
Time passed slowly, the sun moved westward, and Rong Jinchen was forced to drink a lot of wine. His eyes were slightly closed, and there was still a smell of alcohol on his body. He was supported by Gu Heng and returned to Langhuan Garden.
As soon as he entered the main courtyard, he opened his eyes, which were clear and bright, not hazy at all. Gu Heng withdrew at the right time. His Highness couldn't wait to spend the wedding night.
When Baizhi Luwu saw Rong Jinchen come in, she immediately wanted to bow and greet him, but he stopped her by silently raising his hand, and then she understood what he meant and went down.
Su Zhenzhen was sleeping soundly at the moment. She was woken up as soon as the sky turned pale. She was tired, so she closed her eyes, slightly parted her cherry lips, and rubbed her snow-white cheeks against the silky red brocade pillow. Her chubby little belly was very cute.
One of her long white legs stretched out from the bright red dragon and phoenix silk quilt. Her sleeping posture was very heroic. Her jade-like skin was as white and delicate as snow. Her fleshy and slender legs, set against the bright red silk quilt, made people want to play with them in their hands even more.
Rong Jinchen quietly walked over to the bed and sat on the edge, gazing longingly at Su Zhenzhen's sweet sleeping face. His throat tightened. He took a deep breath and let it out silently, then walked to the bathroom to shower and change. His clothes were already there.
The bathing pool with hot springs was filled with fresh water and was specially rebuilt. Rong Jinchen washed himself carefully, dried himself and changed into pajamas.
In the main room, there was only Su Zhenzhen who was fast asleep, and Rong Jinchen who was in the bathroom. Bai Zhi and Lu Wu had already quietly closed the door and walked away.
Rong Jinchen first picked up a pair of scissors and cut off the burnt wick of the dragon and phoenix wedding candle that was burning brightly. The jumping candlelight swayed, and the sunset glow that filled the sky was gorgeous and dazzling. The golden setting sun gradually sank to the west and quietly climbed in through the gap in the closed window.
The man went to bed silently and gently held her in his arms. Su Zhenzhen was sleeping soundly and did not react at all.
