Under the candlelight, Lu Xinghe's originally stern face glowed softly. Chu Yue felt her heart beating violently, and she shook her head blankly.
"Not tired."
Lu Xinghe smiled and touched her cheek, "The moon is beautiful today."
Chu Yue's cheeks were hot and she didn't dare to look in Lu Xinghe's direction.
"Did your husband drink a lot today?"
Lu Xinghe sat down next to her, "I drank a lot at first, but then a few cousins blocked me a lot."
At this moment, Ningdong knocked on the door outside.
"Princess, the hangover soup is here."
"Bring it in."
Ningdong entered the house and put the sobering soup on the table, "Princess, the water in the side room has been put, do you want to take a bath now?"
"Okay." Chu Yue stood up and looked at Lu Xinghe, "Ms., please drink the sobering soup first, and I'll go freshen up."
Lu Xinghe nodded and followed Chu Yue with his eyes until she disappeared from sight, then looked at the bowl of hangover soup on the table.
The thoughtfulness as always made his heart feel warm.
After drinking the hangover soup, not long after, Chu Yue came back wearing a light red nightgown.
This nightgown was specially made by her for the occasion.
The cotton nightgown seemed to be thinner than the ones I wore before, and the bellyband inside was vaguely exposed.
She got on the bed as quickly as possible, pulled the quilt over herself, and her ears were slightly red.
"My husband, go take a shower too. The water in the bedroom has been put in," Chu Yue said in a low voice.
Lu Xinghe said hello and went to the side room.
Chu Yue pretended to be calm and took the reading book by the bedside to read it. However, when she heard the sound of water coming from the side room, the reading book she usually used for entertainment could no longer be read at this moment.
She held up her storybook to cover her face, secretly regretting how she was so worthless that she had no idea when the sound of the water disappeared or when Lu Xinghe returned to the room.
"What are you thinking about?"
A man's magnetic voice suddenly came from above her head. Chu Yue's hands shook in shock and the book fell on the bed.
Because he drank the hangover soup and took a bath, Lu Xinghe's initial drunkenness had completely disappeared at this moment.
His eyes were clear and he smiled slightly. Under the red candlelight, this face was so beautiful that it made Chu Yue feel a little unreal.
The two looked at each other for a long time. Chu Yue seemed to have lost her voice, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Lu Xinghe reached for the wine glasses on the table and handed one to Chu Yue.
"Hejian wine."
Chu Yue blushed and took the wine glass from Lu Xinghe. The two looked at each other, slowly intertwined their arms and drank the wine in the glass.
"Bang bang!"
Chu Yue felt as if her heart was so nervous that it felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.
Lu Xinghe put the wine glass back on the table and sat down next to Chu Yue. He took her into his arms and looked down. Chu Yue's green silk hair was like a waterfall, scattered casually behind her. Her skin was clad in red clothes. She is delicate and fair, and the collar is a little low, vaguely revealing the bellyband on her chest. Under the bellyband...
Lu Xinghe's throat rolled and he looked away.
"What were you thinking about just now?"
Chu Yue leaned meekly in Lu Xinghe's arms, her face full of shyness.
"I didn't think about anything."
Lu Xinghe raised the corners of his lips.
"I haven't thought about anything, so why are you covering your face with a book?"
"It's just..." Chu Yue lowered her eyes, "I'm a little nervous thinking that tonight is the wedding night."
Lu Xinghe held Chu Yue's hand and looked at her with burning eyes.
"Don't be afraid, leave it to me."
Chu Yue nodded.
"Um!"
The bed curtain fell, and through the light of the red candle, two merging figures could be vaguely seen.
The house is filled with spring scenery, peonies are in bloom, tender pistils are fragrant and butterflies are picking at them.
Lu Xinghe put away the red and white silk handkerchief. He hugged Chu Yue, who was already sleeping soundly, in front of him. Because she was too tired, she didn't even have the strength to put on clothes. Her chest was high and round under the quilt. Looming, considering her physical condition, Lu Xinghe suppressed the evil fire that surged up again, put the clothes on her body and fell into a deep sleep.
That night, both of them slept soundly.
…
When Chu Yue woke up, it was already bright outside the house.
She rubbed her eyes and wanted to stretch, but she felt that her waist and buttocks were sore and numb, and there was even burning pain under her body.
"Hiss~"
Hearing the voice, Lu Xinghe, who was sitting next to Chu Yue with an indifferent expression, flashed with panic.
"What's wrong? But what's wrong with you?"
Chu Yue glanced at him and muttered angrily, "It's not because of you."
Although he was complaining, there was no trace of displeasure on his face, and even his little face turned red with embarrassment as he thought about last night's experience.
Lu Xinghe raised his hand to cover the smile on his lips.
"It was my fault."
Chu Yue looked at him and blinked.
"Ms. sir, you don't have to go to court today?"
Lu Xinghe shook his head, "No need for today, Your Majesty allowed me two days' leave."
Then, he got up and got out of bed, carefully helped Chu Yue up, took the clothes on the side and put them on for her, and then carried her to the table.
The stool had already been cushioned by him.
Chu Yue allowed Lu Xinghe to take care of her like a child, and now she was sitting on the soft cushion, feeling sweet in her heart.
"Eat something first."
After struggling for most of the night, Chu Yue was indeed hungry.
She picked up a spoon and scooped the lotus seed porridge into her mouth. The fragrance of the lotus seeds mixed with the sweetness in the porridge made it especially delicious.
In the summer, Baiyuan Garden harvested a lot of lotus seeds. A few days ago, I lived in Baiyuan Garden and used lotus seeds to make food.
Lotus seed porridge is one of them.
The cooked lotus seed porridge was topped with a little honey. She quite liked the taste.
"I heard from Ningdong that you like to eat recently, so I ordered someone to make it this morning."
Lu Xinghe picked up the chopsticks, picked up a shrimp dumpling and put it into the bowl in front of Chu Yue. Then he picked up another shrimp dumpling and put it in his mouth to eat.
"What time is it?"
Chu Yue asked after swallowing the porridge in her mouth.
"This should be Si Shi." Lu Xinghe replied.
"Sishi..." Chu Yue raised her brows slightly and looked at him with a complaining expression, "Why didn't you call me earlier? According to custom, you have to serve tea to your mother and grandparents on the second day of your wedding."
Looking at her embarrassed look, Lu Xinghe couldn't help laughing, but he still suppressed his laughter.
"They'll understand."
"I will understand..."
Chu Yue choked and ignored him, only burying her head in the porridge.
After drinking a small bowl of porridge and eating two shrimp dumplings, Chu Yue stood up while stroking her full belly.
"Hurry up, hurry up, or you will laugh at me."
"There's no rush." Lu Xinghe looked outside the house, "Ningdong, bring it up."
Ningdong heard the sound and entered the house carrying the tray.
Chu Yue is a doctor and is extremely sensitive to the smell of medicine. She looked at Lu Xinghe with some confusion, "Medicine?"
