Everyone finally left!
It was finally quiet in the bridal chamber.
Xi Niang and several maids from the Second Prince’s Mansion, who were originally waiting in the bridal chamber, also wisely withdrew.
Lu Mingyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Qiyun, who had been staying by her side, moved her hands and feet a little and laughed in a low voice: “Miss, you must be tired after sitting for a whole day. There is no one around now, so please move your hands and feet!”
The bride could not move at will, and it was inconvenient to get up and sit down. There was no harm in moving around the bed.
Lu Mingyu hummed.
After sitting for so long, her back was indeed stiff. Now that she relaxed, she felt more comfortable.
In the bridal chamber, there were only two people, Lu Mingyu and her servant. Qiyun, who had been holding back her words for a long time, chuckled softly: “The boudoir where the lady lived before was already very spacious, and the new room is much larger than the boudoir where the lady lived!”
Lu Mingyu glanced at it.
The new house was not only spacious but also elegantly furnished.
Lu Mingyu was the Crown Princess in her previous life and an Empress for several years. Everything she saw and used was of the highest quality. From her perspective, this new house could also be seen as thoughtful.
Everywhere you looked there were happy red decorations. A pair of thick red candles, burning with flames, illuminated the bridal chamber brightly.
This was where she would be living in the future.
Lu Mingyu recited these words silently in her heart several times and then whispered to Qiyun: “The personal guards who came with me today, as well as the maids and stewards, must be placed together. Go out and have a look, ask questions, and report back. .”
Qiyun responded and retreated.
After a while, a palace maid in her late twenties with a pretty face and a respectful look came in: “Núbì [1]this slave, a way slaves and servants addressed themselves in front of their masters Cuirong, have seen the huángzifēi[2]wife of the prince niángniáng [3]madam or mistress, generally reserved for women of the royal family.”
This Cuirong was the palace maid in charge next to Li Jing.
Lu Mingyu nodded slightly: “No courtesy.”
Lu Mingyu was notoriously not easy to mess with, and Cui Rong heard about it from time to time when she was in the palace. Now that she has become the Second Prince’s huángzifēi, one more word must be added before respecting her.
After Cuirong thanked her master for her kindness, she said respectfully: “His Royal Highness has already ordered that the kitchen specially prepare some exquisite and delicious dishes. Please use them slowly.”
After saying that, two young palace maids came in carrying food boxes. They placed the dishes in the food box on the small round table.
There were not too many dishes, including four light vegetarian dishes plus sweet and sour pork ribs and steamed fish, as well as a large bowl of japonica rice porridge and a few kinds of noodles.
As soon as the aroma of the food wafted into her nose, Lu Mingyu suddenly felt hungry. She glanced at Cui Rong and said, “I don’t need to be waited on when I’m eating. You go and wait outside first!”
Cui Rong agreed respectfully and withdrew.
The two palace maids also withdrew.
The three of them stood guard outside the door, not daring to stand too close, and deliberately stayed a few meters away. Then she spoke in a low voice: “Sister Cui Rong, this is the first time I have seen the huángzifēi. She is even more beautiful than I imagined.”
“Not only is she beautiful, but her aura is also stunning. She glanced at me just now, I don’t know why, my legs got weak and I wanted to kneel down.”
“I heard that the Second Prince’s huángzifēi has amazing magical powers and unparalleled martial arts skills. Even our Highness is no match for her!”
Cuìróng chuckled softly and whispered, “His Highness cares deeply for the huángzifēi, and you all are aware of that. In the future, while serving the master, we must not be negligent or careless.”
The two maids agreed in succession.
They were not stupid. Let’s not talk about how much His Highness cared about the second huángzifēi. Just looking at the fierce and domineering second huángzifēi, they didn’t dare to provoke her!
…
After a stick of incense, Qiyun returned, saying, “This servant has already checked. The Prince’s residence was well-prepared; they have all been arranged a place to stay and have already had dinner.”
Lu Mingyu nodded slightly and said with a smile: “The dishes are not cold yet, please sit down and eat something quickly, don’t be hungry.”
The master and servant didn’t have many rules in private, so Qiyun didn’t refuse and agreed with a smile. She ate the rest of the meal cleanly. Then she asked people to come in and clean up.
When the maids came in, Lu Mingyu had already sat beside the bed, with her hands clasped on his knees, looking dignified as a newlywed bride.
After eating and drinking, they waited for the newlywed groom to return to their bridal chamber.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Lu Mingyu quietly fell asleep. She just maintained her sitting posture and quietly closed her eyes…
Qiyun also yawned and squinted her eyes slightly.
The master and the servant, one standing and the other sitting, were both asleep.
Until the voice of the chambermaid Xiao Yuan rang outside the door, awakening both the master and the servant: “His Royal Highness is drunk, you two should be careful when holding him, oh, let me help you.”
Lu Mingyu took a nap for a while, and then When she opened her eyes, she woke up quickly.
Qiyun rubbed her eyes, patted her face to cheer herself up, and then went to open the door.
Xiao Yuan and another chambermaid helped the drunken and unconscious Li Jing in.
Xiao Yuan supported the drunken master and explained with a smile: “Huángzifēi niángniáng, His Highness was toasted a lot at the banquet and fell drunk on the spot. The slave had no choice but to help the master back.”
Li Jing’s drinking capacity was really not that good.
The last time he was drunk in Lu Mansion, he slept for half a day.
Tonight, he drank much more than the last time. At this moment, he was filled with the scent of alcohol, his handsome face flushed. In this state, let alone finding the bridal chamber, he couldn’t even locate the bed.
Xiao Yuan, fearing that the newlywed huángzifēi of the Second Prince might get upset, was surprised to find that the not-so-pleasant-tempered huángzifēi of the Second Prince didn’t get angry. She glanced and instructed, “Help him to the bed, and have the kitchen send a bowl of sobering soup.”
Xiao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly smiled in response.
Lù Míngyù stood up, and the attendants moved the master to the bed. During the process, they were careful, but their movements were inevitably slow. Lù Míngyù became a bit impatient and stepped forward, saying, “All of you, step aside.”
The servants did not dare to disobey and had to let go.
Then, the huángzifēi was seen taking over the hand easily and moving His Highness the Second Prince to the inside of the bed.
Xiao Yuan: “…”
Suddenly he felt very sad for his master’s weak self.
…
Soon, the kitchen sent sobering soup.
Xiao Yuan looked at Li Jing who was drunk and unconscious, and was a little worried: “His Highness is so drunk, how can I feed him the sobering soup?”
Lu Mingyu said casually: “You all stand down. Just wait until His Highness wakes up in the middle of the night, and then let him drink it.”
Anyway, everyone was sent to the bed. It would indeed be an eyesore if they stayed any longer. The two chamberlains bowed and left together. Qiyun also quietly retreated.
The candle flames danced, and the warm red light fell quietly.
The young man on the red quilt was dressed in a red robe, with a slim waist, straight and slender legs, and a handsome face covered with red.
Watching him, he looked very… delicious.
Unfortunately, he was as drunk as a dead fish and couldn’t utter a word tonight.
Lu Mingyu pursed her lips. She first took off her red wedding dress and then removed her golden hairpin. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders like black satin. Then she lay on the outside of the bed, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
No need to consummate the marriage, just go to bed first!
