Shengjing Noble

Chapter 492 Bridal Chamber Flowers and Candles

"He shouldn't come. I'm not the principal wife. Why would he come here? Go get it and eat it!"

"OK then."

Cuizhu was actually also very hungry, so she went over to get it as soon as she heard it.

I finished two pieces of wedding cakes very quickly. They tasted good, but I didn’t feel full.

"I'm still hungry..."

"Then...how about..."

Cuizhu looked towards the bed, and Su Lanyin turned back following her line of sight, only to see that the bed was covered with peanuts, longans, red dates and melon seeds, symbolizing the early birth of a baby.

"Eat it?"

"Isn't that bad?"

"eat!"

The master and servant hit it off immediately. As the saying goes, I can't raise two kinds of people. They grew up together, and I can never mistreat them in any way.

Cuizhu sat on the footstool beside the bed, eating melon seeds and saying, "Miss, is that princess the Miss Shen who accompanied the prince to your coming-of-age banquet?"

"Well, it's her."

"Is she easy to get along with? Will she bully the girl in the future by relying on her status as a princess?"

"Why is she bullying me?" Su Lanyin frowned.

"I'm jealous of you."

"I am a daughter of a humble merchant, why is she jealous of me?"

"You are more favored by the prince than she is."

"Favor?" Su Lanyin was amused. "Cuizhu, is it a glorious thing to be favored by a man?"

"This..." Cui Zhu didn't know how to respond after hearing this. "If the concubines in the palace were favored by the emperor, they would naturally be glorious, but Miss... it seems that there is nothing glorious about it."

"Yes, there was not even a wedding ceremony on the wedding day. They were placed here like an object, waiting for their owner to come and open it like a present..."

The more I talk, the sadder I feel.

Looking at the large pieces of red silk in front of her and the wedding characters pasted on the wall, Su Lanyin felt that all of this was extremely ironic.

"I used to hesitate whether to fall in love with Fu Wuyang, but now I am more determined."

"what?"

"I can treat him as a confidant, a friend, or even a husband, but not as a lover. I have to love myself first, otherwise, no one can save me."

As Su Lanyin spoke, she touched the jade pendant around her neck. It was given to her by her mother before she got married. She said it was a gift from her grandfather.

In her previous life, she also thought that this jade pendant was an ordinary necklace, but later she found out that it contained her grandfather's life's work.

With this, she had to plan for her future path in advance.

"Girl, have a drink of water."

Cuizhu picked up the teapot to pour water, but found that all the tea had been drunk.

"No more, shall I go get another pot?"

"No need, bring the wedding wine and let's drink it together."

"Isn't this bad?"

"What are you afraid of? Can Fu Wuyang abandon the princess and come to us? He is not in harmony, so it would be a waste to keep him."

"Miss, you are right. I will accompany you to drink the wedding wine, and then accompany you on your wedding night, haha..."

Cuizhu happily brought the wine and poured it into the glass.

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

……

After Fu Wuyang dealt with all the guests, he was already half drunk. The servants helped him to the main courtyard, but he stopped as soon as he reached the door.

"Not here."

Nanny Song said, "My Lord, this is it. The princess is waiting for you to come in."

"Princess..." A trace of resistance flashed in Fu Wuyang's eyes. He turned around to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Han.

"Your Majesty, you can't do this. The Emperor will blame you."

"Yes, Your Highness, on the wedding night, you must consider the Shen family's reputation." Nanny Song also advised.

Fu Wuyang sighed, turned around and strode into the room.

On the bed, the woman was holding a round fan in front of her face. When she heard the noise, she tensed up.

The man's footsteps were getting closer and closer, and her heartbeat was getting faster and faster.

She was full of fantasies. When the man opened the fan, he saw her amazed face. Then they ate wedding cakes and drank wine together. Finally, they spent the night together...

Thinking of this, her cheeks flushed.

But the next second, the fan in his hand was snatched away. Shen Ruchu was stunned and even forgot to control his expression. He stared blankly at Fu Wuyang.

"W-Prince?"

Fu Wuyang threw the fan casually on the ground, turned around, picked up the wedding cake on the table and stuffed it into Shen Ruchu's hands.

"Eat it."

"what?"

"eat fast."

"Uh...yes..."

Shen Ruchu nodded, opened his mouth and took a small bite.

Seeing that she had eaten, Fu Wuyang picked up the wine on the table and handed it to her.

"Take it."

"Yes."

Shen Ruchu caught it immediately, but before she could react, she saw Fu Wuyang's arm wrap around her hand, and then he drank a sip of the wine from the cup.

The whole process happened quickly. He finished his drink and pulled his hand away, not giving her any time to react.

"Your Majesty...you are also so anxious..."

She was a little shy, wondering if he wanted to get married quickly, so she lowered her head and felt a little awkward for a moment.

"Drink quickly." Fu Wuyang urged.

"Yes."

Shen Ruchu drank the glass of wine, then stood up and walked to Fu Wuyang, saying shyly: "Ayang, let me undress you..."

As soon as she put her hand on his belt she was pushed away.

"No need. Lanyin hasn't even lifted her fan yet, nor has she drank from the wedding cup. Today we are getting married and we have gone through all these formalities. It's not good to ignore her. If it gets out, wouldn't I be saying that the prince and the princess have treated her badly?"

"But……"

"No buts, I'll go over and take a look."

After saying that, he turned and left, his feet seemed to have wind under them, for fear of being left behind.

This reason was reasonable and logical, Shen Ruchu could not find any fault with it, and the Shen family could not get angry either.

The only thing is that Su Lanyin was wronged.

He quickly rushed to Qiurong Pavilion, thinking that Su Lanyin would be sitting inside waiting for him in a depressed mood.

Then she complained to him and got angry.

He had already thought about how to coax her, but when he opened the door, he saw a completely different scene.

Su Lanyin had already removed her makeup and was lying on the bed, and next to her was the maid Cuizhu, who was lying in the seat that originally belonged to him.

The ground was littered with fruit cores, melon seed shells, peanut shells, and empty teapots and wine jugs.

Looking at the mess in the room and then at the master and servant sleeping soundly on the bed, Fu Wuyang admitted that his defenses were really broken.

He thought of all the possibilities and how troublesome it would be to deal with the conflict, but he owed her too much, so he was filled with guilt.

But I never expected that Su Lanyin didn't care at all.

She ate and drank as she was supposed to, and even slept in the arms of her maid, completely ignoring him as her husband.

Even with him or without him, it makes no difference.

At this moment, Fu Wuyang was completely furious.

He kicked over the stool in front of him, waking up Su Lanyin and Cuizhu who were lying on the bed.

Seeing Fu Wuyang standing there, Cuizhu was sobered up and quickly rolled off the bed.

Fortunately, she did not take off her clothes. She knelt on the ground and said, "This servant pays respects to the prince."
