The next day, Shang Yiqing woke up just as the first rays of the morning sun shined.
Ever since they had gotten married, they had been living together. Although they were lying together on the same bed, but since the day of their wedding, they had been on the same line, and apart from the day of their wedding, they had been fine.
Pushing the window open, a gust of fresh air blew over. Shang Yiqing greedily inhaled the fresh air, looking out through the window at the anime. Piles of flowers bloomed brilliantly, lush and red, bright and beautiful. She stared blankly for a while, and then heard a rustling sound behind her. Without turning her head, she asked, "Why are you up so early today? Are you afraid that I will strike the gong again? "
"No, we have something very important to do today."
"You have something important to do, don't you? "Don't add me." As Shang Yiqing spoke, she rested her chin on her hands and stared at the colorful flowers.
"This matter must be decided by an imperial concubine." As Fang Zinan walked to her side, Shang Yiqing could feel his steady breathing from behind.
"If you have anything to say, then say it quickly. Don't be so close to me." Shang Yiqing shrugged her shoulders uncomfortably. Although she slept in the same bed as him, it was such a big bed and there were lines drawn on it. To outsiders, it looked like the two of them were very close, but in fact, they were very distant in private.
Fang Zinan looked at her uncomfortable appearance and purposely approached her. With a soft and teasing voice, he asked, "You're already my consort. We've already met each other for a long time. Why should we keep our distance now?"
"Shut up!" These words were like needles stabbing Shang Yiqing's heart. She dreaded this the most. To lose her virginity to this fellow for no reason, she could not help but feel vexed!
Fang Zinan chuckled behind her. Shang Yiqing only felt the smile on the back of her neck move so much that it tickled, and he couldn't help but shrink back.
"What's wrong, is your neck itchy?" Do you want me to scratch it for you? "
"No need to bother. Just tell me what you want me to do. " Shang Yiqing interrupted him. She couldn't stand the thought of him getting close to her, so she had an indescribable feeling.
Fang Yannan stopped smiling and said seriously: "We should go to Prince Yu's Mansion today to meet father. Yesterday, he personally went to visit us. As juniors, we are truly lacking in manners."
"I know."
"I hope that you will dress up beautifully today, because we are not the only ones who are going to Prince Yu's Estate today."
Shang Yiqing suddenly turned around, "What? Are you meeting with a lot of people in Prince Yu's Mansion today?"
"Of course. You know that I have a few brothers. They will definitely all be at Prince Yu's estate today, and they will all be there with the princess. "
"I understand. Didn't you say that you were going to your father's house today to meet your family?" Shang Yiqing said impatiently while glancing at him.
"Then hurry up and pack up. We'll leave after breakfast." After saying this, Fang Zinan walked out of the room.
By the time the two of them arrived at Prince Yu's estate, it was already the end of the morning.
When they arrived at the main hall of Prince Yu's mansion, Shang Yiqing saw all of Fang Zinan's brothers, with the exception of Prince Yu. They were Ning Wang, Fang Ziyue, Prince Ding, Fang Ziyu, and their imperial concubine.
"Fang Zinan greets his father and brothers." As Fang Zinan spoke, he tugged on Shang Yiqing's sleeve, indicating that she should bow to him.
Shang Yiqing stealthily rolled her eyes at him and bowed to him.
"All of you, quickly rise." Prince Yu was very pleased as he introduced Shang Yiqing to his sons and wives, "This is Princess Rong. All of you come over to get to know each other."
"I really didn't expect that not only is my medical skills outstanding, but she is also so beautiful." The one who spoke was Princess Xuan. With her hair tied up in a bun, and her bright Five Phoenix Steps, she looked gorgeous.
"Big sister is praising me too much, how can little sister match up to big sister's half." Shang Yiqing replied with a smile. Compared to the outstandingly beautiful Princess Consort Xuan, she was only elegant and pretty, not as pretty as her.
"I heard that after she got married, she did her best to take care of Prince Rong. It was too arduous!" Someone said in an exaggerated tone as he walked forward. Her skin was white, and she wore a satin gown that looked like it was carved from gold and silver. Her lower body was adorned with a plum blossom dress, her waist was tied with a golden-red bead ribbon, and her hair was tied up loosely. There was a gold heavy chrysanthemum hairpin stuck in her hair.
Shang Yiqing frowned at the mockery in her words. She only smiled and said calmly: "This is our job as wives, why should we be tired of it?"
"This is the first time we've seen Princess Consort Rong. The empress personally took a fancy to her. Seeing her today, she's indeed extraordinary." This was the voice of Princess Ning. She was slightly older than the two princesses before her, and there was an air of arrogance between her brows. Thin powder on the face swept moth eyebrow, dignified and generous.
"The sisters are too polite. If it wasn't for the empress pointing her out to Prince Rong, when would I have had the chance to meet all of you?" Don't think that they couldn't make out the meaning behind these wangfei's words. Shang Yiqing had purposely brought out the empress so as to undermine their prestige.
The other consorts smiled in embarrassment.
Prince Yu looked at the crowd and said in a clear voice, "Today, our family is all here. Father is truly happy to see that all of you have become family members. Father hopes to see Prince Rong's son next year." As he spoke, he chuckled to himself.
Shang Yiqing lowered her head bashfully. She thought to himself: Prince Rong is poisoned, I wonder when he will die, I don't want to have children with him!
All of the princesses covered their mouths as they laughed. "That's right. We're all waiting for the good news."
Fang Zinan had been perfectly fine, but now he turned to Prince Yu and said powerlessly: "Father, please forgive your son for being too weak and unable to drink freely. Can Princess Hua-Yang help me with the wine?"
"Oh, if that's the case, then I'll allow the wangfei to do it for me!" Prince Yu smiled amiably. Although he had only met Shang Guiqing once, he had a very good impression of her.
What did this Fang Zinan mean? He actually teased her in public. I really don't know what his intentions were!
