Princess, where is your Red Dusk?
Feng Ningyan had thought that she would waste half a day in the palace, but she didn't expect to come out so early.
The wide imperial street, the noisy morning market, everything was the same as in her previous life. She still remembered which family had wontons, which family had the best snacks, which family had the best embroidery and which had the best rouge.
However, the person beside him had changed from Shen Youhuang to Shen Lingjue.
"Princess, do you want to take a look around the morning market?" Shen Lingjue saw her staring blankly ahead and asked.
Feng Ningyan turned her head to look at him, and sighed: "Things change when people change, why do you have to look back?" After saying that, she smiled, "Has Your Highness brought any silver?"
Shen Lingjue laughed: "Bringing on your face is enough."
Feng Ningyan rolled her eyes as she said, "It's good to have thick skin."
Under the protection of the guards, the two leisurely strolled around the morning market, eating snacks and watching tricks.
Along the way, Feng Ningyan did not mind Shen Lingjue's "face" at all. Although she did not bring any money, she still borrowed quite a few things that she did not need.
Morning market is after noon market, afternoon market is after, play at night market until it is dark before going back to the Mansion.
Once he got off the horse carriage, Feng Ningyan stepped on the footstool. He felt an excruciating pain from his feet, causing him to scream out loud and fall into Shen Lingjue's embrace.
Shen Lingjue lowered his head and looked at her, and gave her an ambiguous smile: "Hugging? "The wangfei has finally learned to take the initiative. It's not in vain for This King to give up his face to accompany a gentleman."
As he said that, he carried Feng Ningyan and walked in.
"Rascal …"
Feng Ningyan wanted to jump down and walk by herself, but her feet were sore and numb, like thousands of ants were biting her. She could only press her lips together and allow him to hold her.
Once he entered the bridal room, Feng Ningyan struggled a bit and quickly escaped from Shen Lingjue's embrace. Before he could stand steadily, he heard an aged voice explode in his ears.
"This old servant pays his respects to the prince and the princess consort!"
Feng Ningyan was shocked. When she turned around, he saw a wrinkled, toothless old lady smiling with her eyes narrowed. She had her back hunched and was looking at him with her hands behind her back.
The old nanny's eyes were very muddled, as though she was blind. However, her gaze was sharp and her face was full of vicissitudes. Her smile, however, was as innocent as a child's.
Shen Lingjue was startled, then laughed and supported the old granny, "Maid Xu, why aren't you sleeping yet, and are still walking around randomly? Did you get lost? This King will get someone to send you back to your room. "
The old lady shook her head and stared at Feng Ningyan, making her hair stand on end.
"This is..." Seeing Shen Lingjue being so respectful to this mama, Feng Ningyan knew that this old lady had some background and could not help but ask.
"It's the milkmaid from the matriarch." Shen Lingjue tersely replied.
However, the old granny added, "To be exact, she is the one who raised the Emperor's most beloved Royal Consort Min and brought him along. She has put in great effort, is loyal and has a bad temper, and relies on her seniority to sell her off."
"Pfft …" Feng Ningyan really couldn't help but want to laugh, but she was scared by the Maid Xu's background, and didn't dare be so disrespectful.
Who would introduce him like that? This Maid Xu is really interesting.
"Good morning, Maid Xu." She could tell that Shen Lingjue had a deep relationship with this old granny, hence he bowed down in respect.
Seeing that she understood the situation, the Maid Xu nodded her head with difficulty, turned and sat at the table: "I say, wangfei, do you know what to do on the wedding night?"
Feng Ningyan looked at Shen Lingjue in shock, not knowing how to answer such an abrupt question.
The Maid Xu didn't wait for her reply as he slapped a snow-white handkerchief on his back onto the table.
"This Lovers' Joyous Union was personally cut and sewn by this old servant. Originally, it should have been placed on top of the bed and collected until it turned red. However, when this old servant took a look this morning, the Lovers Joyous Joyous Joyous Union brocade was as clean as it could be! Princess, where is your Red Dusk? "
"Cough cough …" Shen Lingjue, who was a man, felt embarrassed hearing that, so she coughed and interrupted Maid Xu.
Feng Ningyan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. In her entire life, no one had ever asked her about such a private matter, let alone asking her about "Luo Hong" in front of a man.
Shen Lingjue also blushed with shame, and said, "Momo, last night, the wangfei's body wasn't feeling well, so she didn't consummate her marriage. You don't need to worry about this sort of thing. "
"Ah... "That's right..." Feng Ningyan was confused, as if she had been hit by Maid Xu's pole.
The mama glared at Shen Lingjue, "When your matriarch left, he told me to take good care of you, so that you would be safe. The old servant agreed while patting her head. Now that you have married an ignorant wangfei, this old servant has to properly teach her the rules for Royal Consort Min. This was an urgent matter! You all better not try to fool this old servant. "
With that, she pulled Shen Lingjue and Feng Ningyan and slowly walked up the stairs. She pushed the two of them into the bedroom and closed the door.
With a "hualala" sound, Maid Xu actually locked the door from the outside.
"Maid Xu!" Feng Ningyan was anxious now, she anxiously pushed open the door, but the door was locked so that even a crack could not open the door.
"Stop shouting, no one cares if you shout until your throats crack!" Tonight, this old servant will stand guard on the stairs. Tomorrow, I will hand Luo Hong over to this old servant, and this old servant will let you out. "
"Hey!" This old granny is really taking advantage of her seniority! "
Feng Ningyan was so angry that her nose started to smoke, her face twitched, but Shen Lingjue laughed on the side.
"She's old and muddle-headed, don't lower yourself to her level."
As he spoke, he sat by the table and started pouring tea for himself.
Feng Ningyan walked to his side and bit her lips: "Your Highness is the Prince, she is a servant. Your Highness has ordered her to open the door, does she dare to disobey?"
Shen Lingjue shrugged her shoulders helplessly, "In the entire Duke Palaces, the Maid Xu has the highest seniority. I call her Senior Servant in front of others, but I have to go through a great gift from my grandchild during the new year. Even the empress dowager has to address her as sister, and the empress also wants her to pay attention to it.
"I …" Feng Ningyan was speechless, when she checked the window, she realised that the window had long been nailed down from the outside, "This old lady is so ruthless!"
"Since she's already here, let's take care of it. Come, let the princess have a cup of tea to cool the fire."
Compared to Feng Ningyan's anxiety, Shen Lingjue was extremely satisfied, as though she was enjoying this "two person world".
Feng Ningyan sat on the chair and drank a mouthful of tea: "Does Your Highness plan on drinking the tea until daybreak?"
Shen Lingjue looked at her slyly and smiled: "You don't understand, there is only a pot of tea in the room. Once I finish drinking it, Maid Xu will be able to open the door and send some, wouldn't that give us the chance to go out?"
Feng Ningyan thought, what bullsh * t idea was this? Can't I get the Maid Xu to pour some tea? You still need to drink it honestly.
However, when she looked at the jade-green tea cup, her mouth felt dry. She could only frown and drink five cups in succession.
Until the end of the tea, Shen Lingjue did not have the intention to call anyone to serve tea. Instead, she placed the black and white chess pieces down and sat on the soft couch to fight with each other.
Just as Feng Ningyan wanted to urge the Maid Xu to open the door, his lower abdomen suddenly tensed up as he shivered.
Not good...
He wanted to misunderstand!
