All the supplies have been prepared by the palace attendants, and there is no need for his help.
Jiang Yun: “You stand further away, no eavesdropping, no peeking.”
Sui Heng was dissatisfied. “Look at what you’re saying. Those who don’t know will think that you are guarding against thieves. Your Highness Rongyu, have you forgotten that today is our wedding night?”
Jiang Yun looked at him without blinking.
Sui Heng immediately said angrily, “Don’t worry, I’ll keep my word. Without your instructions, I won’t take a step in.”
Jiang Yun made sure that Sui Heng had no other rogue behavior before he entered the bathroom on his own.
The wedding dress is heavy, and even if the weather is still cold, after a day of stuffiness, he still sweats a lot.
Jiang Yun took off his layered outer and inner robes, hung them on a hanger, and soaked his body in bath water. Warm water flowed through his skin, washing away the stickiness, and it was indeed much more comfortable. After all, there was still a wolf lurking outside, and Jiang Yun didn’t delay for too long. He took a brief shower, changed into the sleeping robe that Liu Gong had already prepared, and went out of the screen. Sure enough, he saw Sui Heng still folding his arms and guarding the door, with his toes firmly pressed against the screen, feeling energetic.
Sui Heng heard the commotion early on and saw the person come out. Looking around, he saw Jiang Yun wearing only a light and thin red, soft silk sleeping robe. Although his black hair had been wiped and cleaned, it still carried a sense of moisture and water droplets, sticking to his back, complemented by a thin and jade-like shoulder, soaking his sleeping robe wet. Under the sleeping robe, a pair of snow-white jade feet were also bare, stepping on the soft carpet and bringing out a string of water.
That sleeping robe was clearly cut strictly according to Jiang Yun’s size, taking into account the special nature of the wedding night. Every detail was designed perfectly, and the fabric used was also known for its luxurious and lightweight soft cloud silk.
This was the first time Sui Heng had witnessed the scene of his little lover just taking a bath. Jiang Yun had thin skin, and it was during his time in the private courtyard in the Sui capital that he used to be busy with business outside during the day. When he returned at night, Jiang Yun had already bathed early and was waiting for him inside. Occasionally, when he returned early, Jiang Yun would deliberately take a bath at a different time from him.
The few times he forced him to take a bath with him, he also wrapped him in a towel and carried him back to the bedchamber. Most of the time, he was already unconscious, unlike now, the green lotus out of the water was compelling and seducing.
This is really a benefit that can only be enjoyed after a big wedding.
Sui Heng felt more and more that he had been too wise to set the wedding date in March instead of August.
It’s not the first time the two performed Zhou Gong’s etiquette1A husband and wife having s*x., nor the first time they’ve had intimate relations. It was just a little more ceremonial this time. Jiang Yun was originally quite calm, but he was stared at by two scorchingly hot eyes, and he felt a little ashamed later on. He asked, “Is there something on me?”
It’s far more than having something.
It’s not exaggerating to say that this scene is full of vitality. Sui Heng stepped forward, picked the person up horizontally, and put him down in the wedding bed, saying, “Wait for Gu to come back.”
The desire in the bottom of his eyes was like a fierce tiger. The desire was so fierce that it would almost break out of the cage if it weren’t for the two eyes that bound it together.
Jiang Yun wrapped his fingers around a strand of his hair and told him to hurry up.
Sui Heng was still reluctant to let go because his little lover’s skin felt a bit too good after being soaked in water. Although it was separated by a layer of sleeping robe, it made his heart tremble, and he couldn’t control it.
If he hadn’t sweated all the way through this tossing and turning, and because of the one-day and one-night boat trip, it was inevitable to get some dust. He wished he had omitted this part directly.
The sound of water soon came from the bath room.
Jiang Yun didn’t want to wait like this, as if he were specifically waiting for that guy to come and slaughter, so he casually took a book and sat by the bedside, flipping through it. If it were an ordinary marriage, there would naturally be no servants who would casually place such items in the Qinglu. However, Liu Gong knew that Jiang Yun was quiet and liked to read books, afraid that His Highness would not adapt to his first marriage, so he thoughtfully asked the palace attendants to put some of them.
It was just that Jiang Yun had underestimated Sui Heng’s speed after all.
Jiang Yun had just opened the book and read two lines when the book was jerked out of his hand.
Looking up, Sui Heng was already wrapped in a sleeping robe, with wet black hair standing in front of the wedding bed. He was holding a bath towel in his hand and quickly wiping his hair. He raised his eyebrows and said, “Isn’t Gu enough for you to look? What are you reading on your wedding night?”
He has ape arms and a bee waist, strong muscles, and smooth lines, just like a stretched bowstring. Even if he only wears a thin layer of sleeping robe, he does not appear thin at all.
Jiang Yun ignored his teasing and, as usual, made his way inside to leave him some space outside. Sui Heng wiped his hair a few times, threw the towel onto the hanger, and straight away, he bullied his way into the inside, trapping Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun kicked him with the tip of his toes.
“You move outside.”
“Won’t move.”
In Sui Heng’s eyes, such an action was not resistance at all, but a temptation.
Sui Heng’s eyebrows furrowed, not only did he not move outside, but he also got closer. He lifted Jiang Yun’s waist with one hand, fixed him on the soft pillow at the head of the bed, and leaned down to kiss him. He was domineering and overbearing. Jiang Yun was kissed by him and couldn’t breathe, and he couldn’t even move his body. After a while of passive endurance, his whole person seemed like a fish that had fallen into a hot steam room. He’s also begun to learn to cater to him after being driven by him. Sui Heng was obviously pleasantly surprised by Jiang Yun’s active response, focusing more and more on his movements. Their breath was hot and intertwined, and after a while, they parted again, and their breath was somewhat uneven.
Jiang Yun realized what he had done, and after realizing it, his ears heated up.
In just that moment of friction, his entire cheeks and neck skin had already turned red, and the heat was not very noticeable.
Jiang Yun was extremely embarrassed and annoyed because he’s unable to push this bastard away, so he continued to kick Sui Heng with his foot.
Sui Heng chuckled, his hand still fixed on the waist, leaned over, and whispered, “You’ve learned so fast.”
If the prelude went smoothly to this point, then the rest of the matter will be done smoothly. However, the two had not had intimate contact for nearly three months. Sui Heng dared not be careless and took what the palace attendants had already prepared from under his pillow. Despite Jiang Yun’s embarrassment, he made sufficient preparations for the two before putting him under the quilt and starting to get to the main point.
Jiang Yun glanced at the two pairs of wedding candles still burning, thinking of Liu Gong and others who were still guarding outside the Qinglu at the moment, and said, “You put out the lights first.”
This is going to lose so much fun.
But Sui Heng knew that he had thin skin, so he got out of bed and blew out both pairs of wedding candles. He then returned to the wedding bed and asked, “What other requirements do you have?”
Jiang Yun knew that he had endured for quite some time and didn’t deliberately make things difficult for him anymore. He lifted the corner of the quilt and let him in.
Sui Heng’s eyes lit up with joy. As soon as he covered himself and pressed down, Jiang Yun suddenly said, “Wait a moment.”
“……”
Sui Heng asked, “What’s wrong?”
Jiang Yun: “There’s something.”
“What?”
“There’s something down there, it’s uncomfortable.”
Sui Heng dared not be careless, fearing that a careless palace maid might accidentally throw something into the bed while preparing it and injure Jiang Yun. He quickly got out of bed, lit the wedding candle again, and moved it to the side of the wedding bed to check.
Jiang Yun also crawled out of the bed and, together with Sui Heng, opened the bedding to check.
Under the mattress, there were indeed several round things, including a few chestnuts and peanuts, as well as melon seeds, walnuts, and other items.
Both of them fell silent at the same time.
Although Sui Heng got married for the first time, even though he had never eaten pork but had seen pigs run. He had attended the weddings of his generals several times, not to mention the weddings of the children of the aristocrats in Sui. He knew that there was a part of the wedding called “Sa Zhang”. After the newlyweds sat down at the wedding bed, a special servant or emcee would sprinkle the concentric money engraved with “live a long life of abundance and honour”, as well as peanuts, melon seeds, walnuts, and other wedding fruits, onto the newlyweds, symbolizing eternal unity and multiple blessings for many children.
The two of them had special identities and were both men, so they skipped the Sa Zhang progress. However, it was obvious that in order to convey good symbolism, several knowledgeable and trusted subordinates, such as Liu Gong, Gao Gong, and Ji An, still quietly prepared these auspicious fruits. It was inconvenient for them to spread them openly, so the palace attendants placed them under the bedding.
The winter bedding is extremely thick, and if one has rough and thick skin, they might not notice. However, Jiang Yun’s skin is so delicate. When he lay down by himself, he was fine, but with someone else was on top of his body, he immediately felt something was wrong.
Sui Heng was afraid that if it was not cleaned up properly, it would scratch Jiang Yun again, so he simply lifted the entire bedding. He carefully checked inside out and found many wedding fruits everywhere.
In addition to peanuts, melon seeds, and walnuts, there were also pumpkin seeds, longans, lotus seeds, and other items. The two of them packed out two full baskets, indicating the amount of preparation and the hard work of those three people.
Sui Heng naturally did not want Jiang Yun to do these things and only let Jiang Yun wait on the side, so he took the basket and searched by himself.
Sui Heng picked up another round chestnut from the corner of the bed and couldn’t help but laugh at what came to his mind.
Jiang Yun hugged his knees and squatted to the side, still a little embarrassed. Seeing that this guy even laughed out loud, he glared at him, “What are you laughing at?”
Sui Heng looked at the small round objects on the bed, got closer, and showed them to Jiang Yun. He said, “Gu heard that these chestnuts are meant to be ‘beneficial’, so they are commonly used by the people as wedding fruits for Sa Zhang. Even the beauties in the palace would secretly put some under the bedding when they went to bed to seek a good omen. Today they secretly put so many chestnuts in the lower head, in the future, will you really give Gu another litter of babies?”
Jiang Yun gritted his teeth. “I’m not even a sow, I’m not going to give you a litter.”
Jiang Yun’s black hair was already completely dry, and because there was no headband to tie it, it cascaded down to his ankles like a waterfall, making him both beautiful and delicate.
Naturally, Sui Heng won’t let go. He just looked at these little things and thought about Jiang Yun’s thin skin. He didn’t know how embarrassed he was in his heart, and he couldn’t help but want to tease him.
After finally tidying up all the wedding fruits, half an hour had already passed.
It was less than two hours before dawn, and Sui Heng naturally had to seize the time to do the right thing. However, he didn’t know if it was due to a psychological effect. As soon as they lay down and were brewing, Jiang Yun felt something pressing under him again.
Sui Heng could only come and search for it again. After searching for a long time, he really found a single peanut.
Sui Heng: “……”
For a moment, Sui Heng did not know whether to lament that this little dainty wife’s skin was too delicate, or rather that the palace attendants were too dutiful and pervasive. It was not easy to be able to lie down again, but Jiang Yun again said that his back was itchy. Sui Heng did not find any peanuts this time but found a few fragments of walnut kernels that had fallen off.
After tossing and turning all night, he finally had less than half an hour to rush through the main task, the outside sky had already begun to gradually brighten.
Liu Gong, Ji An, and Gao Gong had been diligently guarding outside. The three of them were unaware of what had happened inside the Qinglu. However, throughout the night, the candles in the Qinglu went out, lit up and went out again, and suddenly lit up again. Sui Heng also never asked for hot water for the whole night, which was really strange. Even though Liu Gong, as the chief steward of the inner court, was calm and experienced, his gaze towards Ji An and Gao Gong only showed some unusual qualities.
Ji An and Gao Gong were also embarrassed and puzzled.
But they couldn’t directly tell Liu Gong that their Highness is really good at it.
