Unlike the tense situation outside, Si Cang seemed to know that Huangfu Lingfeng could control the overall situation by himself. He didn't even have the intention of going out to take a look. He had stayed in the new house since he came from the worship hall.
The maid brought several dishes, and Sicang and Yun Zishu sat down to eat some. Originally, according to the rules, the bride would come in at night to say some happy words, sprinkle longan and lotus seeds, and tie the bride and groom's hair.
However, because of the poisoning incident on the way, Xi Niang stayed outside and did not dare to come in.
They always felt that His Highness the Crown Prince was too scary, not at all like what was rumored outside - there were many private discussions among officials and dignitaries, saying that just after the Crown Prince came back, he would never be able to make the five major families sincerely loyal, let alone have the ability to hold real power.
Although he has a noble status, because he has been missing for so long, many people in the clan and the powerful have looked down on him privately. The discussion has spread from the mouths of the masters to the servants, so they will inevitably hear something, but they never dare to say what they hear.
Keep it in mind.
After getting in touch tonight, I realized that the rumors cannot be trusted at all, and may even be completely wrong.
The maids passed the meal and waited. It was not until the two of them finished eating that the female officer in charge stood at the door and asked for instructions, and then Si Cang said: "Come in."
The female officer walked in, followed by Xiniang, who had a fair and round face and a happy face, and the maids.
Xi Niang knelt down and saluted: "I respectfully invite the Crown Prince and Crown Princess to sit on the edge of the bed together."
Sicang held Yun Zishu's hand and walked into the inner room and sat down on the edge of the bed.
The female officer in charge of the ceremony knelt down holding the jade plate. Xiniang picked up the scissors from the jade plate, took a strand of Sicang's and Yun Zishu's hair and tied them in a concentric knot, then cut them off and placed them on the jade plate.
Putting down the scissors, Xi Niang took a step back and knelt down: "Congratulations to the prince and the princess on their marriage. I wish the prince and the princess a happy marriage for a hundred years and the birth of a precious son soon."
Leng Yue, Leng Shuang, Xiang Lan, Yue Ying and many maids knelt down: "I wish the Crown Prince and Crown Princess a happy marriage and a son soon!"
"Get up." A smile appeared on Yun Zishu's face, "Today, everyone in Qifeng Palace will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and Xi Niang and the female officer in charge will be rewarded with double the amount."
The maids were happy and congratulated again: "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the princess!"
"Gu Zeng said that everyone in Qifeng Palace will only regard the Crown Princess as their master from now on. It is your duty to serve the Crown Princess well and obey the Crown Princess's orders. If you are done, I will not treat you badly." Si Cang said indifferently, "
If someone cheats and does something they shouldn't do, it will be easy for you to die."
The maids all kowtowed: "Slaves don't dare!"
"Okay." Yun Zishu opened her mouth to calm down the atmosphere, "There are no rules on a big day. It's not too late to save these for later."
Xianglan and others knelt down, knowing full well that no matter how long these words were left, all those serving the master in Qifeng Palace must not have the slightest intention of betraying the master, otherwise they would definitely die without a burial place.
The prince informed them in advance to warn them not to have any thoughts. If someone really made a wrong step, it would not be just a few warnings, but direct bloodshed.
"Back off."
"Slave, please leave."
Everyone filed away, dozens of people exited together, and the inner hall soon returned to silence.
Red candles flickered and the light was soft.
The atmosphere seemed to suddenly become charming.
Si Cang turned to look at Yun Zishu. Under the light, the woman's face was bright and charming, and her dark eyes were shining with water. Si Cang's eyes gradually darkened, and he stretched out his long arms to bring her into his arms, and couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her.
The soft and beautiful touch of her lips made people greedy, and Sicang's heart was surrounded by fullness.
Only at this moment did he feel that his life was complete.
Yun Zishu was slightly stunned. Before she could realize what was happening, Sicang's deep voice rang in her ears: "Should I have someone prepare the silver needles and paint first?"
Silver needle?
Yun Zishu came back to her senses and raised her hand to hook his neck: "A spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Let's talk about the tattoo tomorrow night."
The nephrite was warm and fragrant in his arms. If Si Cang could continue to resist, he would not be a normal man. He kissed her hard, then picked up Yun Zishu and walked into the inner hall.
The red curtain slowly dropped, vaguely reflecting the overlapping figures of the two people.
"Sicang." Yun Zishu suddenly spoke, her voice a little unsteady, "I want to take a bath."
Si Cang paused and slowly lowered his eyes to look at her: "Bath?"
"Yeah." Yun Zishu nodded, "Should we take a shower before going to bed?"
Si Cang was silent for a moment, then chuckled: "It was my negligence. I am too tired today. I should take a hot bath to relieve my fatigue."
Getting married is the most tiring thing, especially for the bride, who has to be tortured from morning to dusk. The phoenix crown is beautiful when it is beautiful, but wearing such a heavy phoenix crown for a whole day is probably only known to you.
Sicang blamed himself for his negligence, but Yun Zishu smiled and said: "They have already put water in the pool. How about we go take a mandarin duck bath and then go to bed?"
Mandarin duck bath?
What a beautiful and moving word, Sicang raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Yeah."
Lifting her up from the bed, Si Cang seemed to be holding the most important treasure in his life. He lowered his eyebrows and couldn't hide the deep affection in his eyes: "I always feel like I am dreaming."
"Have you ever dreamed of such a scene?" Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows.
Si Cang remained silent: "I often dream about it."
I thought about it every day, every month, every year... Now my dream finally came true, and Si Cang felt that this was God's favor for him.
"I'll let them come in and serve."
"Why do you want them to come in?" Yun Zishu raised her eyes, a smile flashing in her dark pupils, "You can't serve me?"
Si Cang's heart was filled with excitement, but he couldn't help but worry: "What if I can't control it..."
"If you can't control it, you don't have to control it." Yun Zishu's expression was subtle and she couldn't help but reach out and pinch his face, "We are already married, is it possible that you are still planning to protect yourself for someone else?"
I always feel like he has no idea about getting married. Doesn’t he know that after getting married, they are husband and wife, and they can perform the courtesy of Duke Zhou openly?
Sicang then looked at her steadily for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Then it is better to obey your husband's orders than to be respectful."
After saying that, he picked her up again, turned around and walked towards the bathing hall.
Yun Zishu leaned quietly on his arm and couldn't help but think about the word "for husband", and suddenly she felt quite good.
"Sicang, you are 'husband', then who am I?" Yun Zishu raised her lips, "Concubine?"
Si Cang kissed her face: "You are my Highness."
Yun Zishu: "..."
"It will always be the case. This fact will not change." Sicang's voice was firm and persistent, "I will become the queen in the future, the queen of the world, and the queen of her husband alone."
Yun Zishu looked at him silently and suddenly said: "Sicang, you should become the most wise and powerful emperor in the world in the future."
