Chapter 4 She just... fell asleep?!
Unfortunately, after serving in the army for her father for six years and living in the intrigues of the battlefield all day long, she was still able to understand the situation in the court and the emperor's intentions.
In fact, the cracks left over from the previous dynasty's struggle for the right to inherit the throne have always been there, but with the invasion of foreign enemies in recent years, many people had no choice but to temporarily stop fighting among themselves.
Now, she has put down the rebellions in the seven western states, and has gone north to recapture the lost homeland of the sixteen states. Dajing has returned to its intact state, and the problems left over from the past have been exposed.
On her way back to court, she heard that aristocratic families in Kyoto were trying to stir up trouble, and they frequently argued with the emperor at court. After returning home, she didn't even have time to take off her armor before she accepted the imperial edict to be crowned empress.
He was no different from other people who were eager to come to ask for marriage. He was looking at the military power of the Chi family, not her, the eldest girl of the Chi family.
He only cares about military power... Chi Xinian looked at the people who endured the hard work and suddenly felt a little evil.
She took the initiative to lie down on the inside of the bed, tilted her head and smiled at Yan Chujing: "I fanned my hands and read poems, drank wine together, and the palace people have retired. Shouldn't we... take a rest?"
Yan Chujing: “…”
He was not deaf, so when he heard the word "rest", she deliberately emphasized it.
The purpose of emphasizing these two words in the wedding night is self-evident.
she thinks…
But he doesn't want to!
He is a person with supreme power. In order to consolidate his position, he can exchange anything, even marrying a woman he does not love.
But no matter how hard he chose, he couldn't control his body's instincts.
Let him treat people he doesn't like... Yan Chujing's knuckles hidden under his sleeves and robes tightened, and his whole body subconsciously tightened into a fully drawn bow.
Pianchi Xinian's eyes became even more direct...
Knowing that this matter might be unavoidable, Yan Chujing finally gritted his teeth, took off his outer robe and lay down next to Chi Xinian.
But before he could figure out what to do next, he found that the girl beside him had already pulled the quilt and fell asleep.
The sleeping posture she trained in the military was too honest, and she didn't go out of her way at all. And her ability to fall asleep was also superb. In just a few breaths, she... fell asleep?!
Yan Chujing took a quick breath, feeling neither happy nor angry for a moment.
After a long while, he hugged the quilt with resentment and lay down on the half bed left by her.
…
When the emperor gets married, he does not need to go to court for three days.
But just after dawn, Yan Chujing got up and went to the imperial study room as usual.
I don't know whether he planned to continue to act gentle and considerate, or whether he was holding back the breath last night, so he walked quietly without disturbing Chi Xinian.
The emperor did not disturb others, and Chi Xinian was happy to sleep more.
Anyway, the Queen Mother and the Concubine were still chanting sutras and praying in Zhoushan. She had no one to get up early to see, so it was a good thing to have a long sleep and soothe her body after working hard for days.
So, she slept until the sun was shining.
It wasn't until Xinyi saw that the time was too late that he couldn't help but go in and call someone. Then she stood up and hugged the quilt in confusion, and followed Xinyi's hand to wash and put on her clothes.
"What time is it?" Chi Xinian turned to look at the sun outside the carved window, squinting in discomfort.
"It's almost noon, so we can't keep the concubines waiting any longer." Xinyi replied while talking about business, "Although you are here to be the queen, it's nothing to keep a few concubines waiting outside. But
Before we entered the palace, the second lady also told us to keep a tightrope in everything and not to push people too hastily.
