MTL - Little Cardamom-Chapter 33
Ming Tan was a little dizzy, obviously it wasn't a spicy and strong wine, but after swallowing it, she felt as if she was drunk. There was indeed a blush on her face, but she didn't know if it was because of the wine or something else.
The red candles in the room were shining brightly, and the two of them were silent for a while, Ming Tan thought nervously, according to the book of avoiding fire that he had read in Bieyulou, he had already drunk, should he take off his clothes and go to bed?
She raised her eyes to peek at Jiang Xu, and slowly stretched out her little hand.
Jiang Xu's scarlet auspicious suit was also very complicated, there were so many layers inside and out, Ming Tan shivered and unbuttoned it for a while, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, before he managed to unbutton his coat.
Seeing that she had to bite the bullet and continue explaining, Jiang Xu for some reason remembered what Shu Jingran and Zhang Huaiyu had said - don't be silent, don't embarrass the girl, remember to find a topic. So after a long silence, he suddenly asked bluntly: "Are you good at playing the piano?"
Ming Tan paused and nodded hesitantly.
He continued: "I heard that at the Jinju Banquet two years ago, you played a piece you composed yourself."
Ming Tan nodded again: "Husband wants to hear it?"
Jiang Xu didn't think about how to respond, but Ming Tan had already thought of it - he even found out that she had composed and played herself at the Golden Chrysanthemum Banquet. Could it be that her husband was fascinated by her piano sound in Daxiangguo Temple?
Thinking about it this way, Ming Tan was even more nervous than happy. She backed away half a step, pretending to bless the body dignifiedly, and said tentatively: "Then...the concubine is not talented, so I made...a ugliness?"
Oops! As soon as she finished speaking, she remembered that Gu Jiurou said at the Shangyuan Palace banquet that she wanted to make a fool of herself, but her husband made people hurry up and stop doing it. He almost ruined the entire palace banquet with one sentence, and her bridal chamber wedding night should also be ruined by this sentence.
Jiang Xu didn't think much about it at first, but Ming Tan's expression changed inexplicably after he finished speaking, and then he remembered that at the Shangyuan Palace banquet last year, he seemed to have said something to the lady who was about to make a fool of herself in Cheng Enhou's mansion.
And it was precisely because of "what he said", that his wife had a deep prejudice against him at the beginning, and she was still listening to Yulou and her friends' arrangement, saying that he was a reckless, vulgar and rude man.
Ming Tan cautiously raised his eyes to sneak a peek, unfortunately, he happened to bump into Jiang Xu's rare emotional eyes, he pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "It's not ugly, this king only thinks that my wife is very beautiful."
— This is also taught by Shu Jingran and Zhang Huaiyu, praise her.
Ming Tan was dumbfounded.
Just now, did your husband praise her for being pretty?
Before she could react, she suddenly felt herself being hugged horizontally. When he came back to his senses, he was already lying on the couch. The complicated red clothes she couldn't untie no matter how hard she tried fell to the ground one by one before the red candle was extinguished...
Ming Tan's little heart started beating uncontrollably again, and she folded her hands neatly on her lower abdomen, and she could feel a tall person laying down beside her, with a lingering faint smell of alcohol and sandalwood.
However, there was no further action as drawn in the fire-avoiding atlas.
Ming Tan calmed down a little nervous, couldn't help but tilt her head, looked at the man lying beside her, and said in a low voice, "Husband?"
"Ok."
Still not asleep.
So isn't he going to do something?
Of course, Ming Tan was too embarrassed to ask this, and could only think about it in his heart. After opening her eyes and being silent for a while, she restlessly moved her hand inch by inch towards Jiang Xu under the quilt, thinking, if you don't do anything, it's okay to hold the little hand.
When she touched it for the first time, the big palm didn't respond, it was still cool. After she held it and squeezed it lightly, the big palm slowly wrapped around her little paw and placed it by her side.
Ming Tan raised the corners of his lips unconsciously.
The moonlight outside the house was like water, and the blush reflected by the lantern could be seen faintly. Ming Tan couldn't sleep, and suddenly asked softly: "Husband, your Majesty bestowed the marriage, did you voluntarily?"
Jiang Xu closed his eyes and said "hmm".
"Then last year's Shangyuan Palace Banquet, Your Majesty and Your Majesty intended to choose a princess for you. Did you plan to marry another girl at that time?"
"Never." He didn't even want to marry a wife.
"Well... everyone in the capital knows that Second Master Shu, Lu Dianshuai, and Duke Pingguo are acquainted. Husband, why are you also familiar with them? I have never heard of it before. Then you and Second Master Shu... umhhh!"
Ming Tan wanted to ask something more, but the person beside her suddenly jumped up unexpectedly, blocking her from continuing to ask questions.
The two layers of thin red pajamas on her body were gently pulled, and it spread from her waist, and the rough palm that held her hand just now covered her delicate skin.
Jiang Xu's eyes were dark, and his desire was floating.
Perhaps he is famous for killing people, but others say that he is heartless and heartless, but they forget that he is only in his early twenties, and he is just young.
Since he married a wife, no matter the reason, he never thought about not touching her. He just cared about the future and was not in a hurry. No, he is not in a hurry, but his wife is in a hurry.
…
Su Xin and Lu E, who were watching the night outside the house, didn't hear anything for most of the night, and they were a little bit cold in their hearts. I heard that if the husband-in-law is not happy, the wedding night may not be consummated.
But just when she was drowsy, heavy and unintentionally suppressed gasps suddenly came from the room, as well as her young lady's whimpering. The sobbing and whimpering sound was intermittent and delicate, Su Xin and Lu E belonged to Yunying's unmarried girl, it made her blush and heartbeat.
Once the commotion broke out, it didn't stop in the middle of the night.
In the middle of the night, I asked for backwater.
Su Xin led the little girl in to send it off, just because of the smell of waste inside, she was so ashamed that no one could look at the bed.
From the corner of her eye, Su Xin caught sight of their uncle pulling off the brocade quilt, wrapping his young lady around him, and carrying him to the bathroom.
…
But half an hour later, there was another return water inside, and when Su Xin led the girl in again, she realized that the water from the previous bathroom was spilled from the tub and spilled all over the floor.
Don't need to think too much, they also knew what happened, thinking to themselves: my uncle looked cold, but this matter is really out of control.
It wasn't until the fourth watch that the movement of the bridal chamber flowers and candles stopped completely.
Ming Tan shrank under the quilt in shame, he had no face to face Jiang Xu, and he didn't even dare to hold hands anymore, wishing they could share two quilts, so as not to touch each other!
Also, the fire-avoiding atlases are all fake! When she was really doing that kind of thing, she couldn't think of anything at all, it was all done by her husband!
After silence until five o'clock, Jiang Xu got up.
He glanced at Ming Tan who was curled up into a ball and was still sleeping soundly, his eyes were condensed, and he pressed the corners of the quilt down a little.
According to the system, today is to enter the palace to thank you, and it is so cumbersome.
When Ming Tan woke up, thinking of this incident, the aches and pains all over her body became more and more obvious. She blushed, and while watching the old woman take away the red yuan handkerchief, she grabbed the corner of the quilt and asked softly, "Where is your Highness, Aren't you going to enter the palace to thank you today?"
"Your Highness, Ms. Gu Nian, has delivered a message to the palace, saying that it will not be too late to go tomorrow." Lu E replied brightly, her brows and eyes were bright, and she was very happy that her young lady was loved by her husband.
Su Xin was also very happy, took the conversation from Lu E and said: "Your Highness went out to practice martial arts before dawn, and specially ordered not to wake up the young lady, but to have breakfast together when the young lady wakes up."
The mother-in-law jokingly said: "Why do you two girls still call you miss, it's time to call you princess!"
Su Xin and Lu E looked at each other, pursed their lips and said with a smile, "Yes, my servant greets the princess."
Ming Tan blushed again, pulled up the corner of the quilt, and half reservedly half impatiently ordered: "Then wash me up and have breakfast, Your Highness is practicing martial arts, you must be hungry."
Su Xin and green calyx should be in full swing.
One day before the wedding, Suxin Lue and the wives of Jing'an Hou's Mansion came to the palace to set up tents, and they got acquainted with the dining room of the palace by the way. Uncle Fu, who was in charge of the palace, seemed to welcome the new owner of the palace very much. He had no intention of seizing power. He had spoken early, and the princess would follow whatever she wanted, and the dining room naturally obeyed them.
Not long after, Lue combed Ming Tan into a beautiful bridal bun, and chose a delicate and complicated dress. After all, newlyweds should not be too simple and elegant. Only two strokes of her eyebrows were lightly brushed, and she looked a little light.
When Jiang Xu entered the room, the breakfast that Su Xin had ordered early in the morning was also served on the table like flowing water.
He stood at the door of Mingjian, looked at a group of maidservants entering the room, and paused for a moment.
Soft jade porridge, golden milk crisps, crab powder pearl buns, white jade balls, green pears with sugar cheese... This breakfast has a full list of dishes.
Seeing him, Ming Tan blushed and his eyelashes fluttered. She got up and bowed politely, and said softly: "Your husband must be tired from practicing martial arts, let's have breakfast."
Jiang Xu was obviously not used to the sudden appearance of a soft and beautiful little princess in the mansion, so he nodded and sat down after a moment of silence.
As soon as he sat down, another four or five servant girls rushed up one after another with a bunch of things, asking him to wash his hands and wipe his face.
Although he was born in the royal family, he knew the etiquette, and he was born with the standards of an incomparably noble emperor's grandson, but since his father passed away, he has never cared about these complicated etiquettes.
Jiang Xu didn't like extravagance, but thinking that he, the little concubine, had just entered the mansion, she was used to luxury, so she didn't say much, just patiently wiped her hands and face, and began to eat.
When Jiang Xu was eating, Ming Tan also scooped up the porridge in a gentle manner, and secretly looked at him from time to time.
Seeing that the porridge in Jiang Xu's bowl was gone, he hurriedly signaled the girl to add more. Seeing that Jiang Xu seemed to want to eat soft crisps, he hurriedly grabbed a piece for him.
It took Jiang Xu a while before he remembered how to reciprocate, so he also put a snack for Ming Tan.
Ming Tan was overjoyed, seeing that Jiang Xu had almost used it up, she put down the porcelain spoon, and suddenly asked reservedly: "Husband, look at my makeup today, is it okay?"
Jiang Xu raised his eyes.
"..."
If she didn't tell him, he wouldn't be able to see that he was wearing makeup.
Seeing that his concubine was still waiting for him to say one, two, three, four, he thought about it, and based on the principle of "praising her" that Shu Jingran and Zhang Huaiyu said last night, he replied: "Very good."
But Ming Tan was not particularly satisfied with this answer, he held his face and tilted his head: "Husband, take a closer look."
Jiang Xu: "..."
Ming Tan moved closer and reminded: "Eyebrows?"
Jiang Xufu said to his heart, "It's a little lighter."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lue came to him with a smile and held her eyebrows: "Your Highness, why don't you paint the eyebrows for the princess?"
Ming Tan was also embarrassed and said: "I don't know if it's convenient for my husband? Ah Tan himself always feels that it's not right to draw today. Husband thinks that to match today's makeup and clothes, is it better to paint water-curved eyebrows or distant mountain eyebrows?"
Jiang Xu picked up Meidai from the drawer and looked at it for a while, then raised his eyes and suddenly asked: "How to use this thing? What is water curved eyebrow, and what is distant mountain eyebrow? What's the difference?"
