After putting on new clothes and drinking the hangover soup Yi An served, I felt a little more awake.
Yi An reminded me: "Little master, don't keep the princess waiting for too long."
I nodded, got up and walked to the new house.
He walked out of the bathroom door with frivolous steps.
The sky was already full of stars outside, and the palace that was noisy just now suddenly became quiet.
I took a deep breath of the cool air, with the faint fragrance of flowers in the air, and looked up at the full moon covered with thin clouds.
The flowers were full and the moon was full.
My life and that of Lin Chuer would begin from this beautiful night of auspiciousness.
The night is sacred and quiet, full of unknown mysteries and surprises.
This night is very important to us.
Getting married marks my maturity as a man and marks that I will take on the responsibility of Lin Chuer's future life.
With the support of Yi An, I walked into the new house.
The new house was decorated solemnly and magnificently, with extraordinary style.
All the decorations were specially designed by the female officials in charge of etiquette in the palace to command the beautiful maids in the palace.
They were carefully decorated in accordance with royal etiquette.
Shang Bing brought a group of young and beautiful maids to decorate the bedroom curtains, silk curtains, and woven brocade and satin.
Everything was filled with opulence, elegance, and splendor.
In the new house, the floor is covered with carpets, screens are set up around it, gorgeous palace lanterns are hung in the air, and the dazzling gems are shining, making the bridal chamber glow red.
The Hundred Sons Picture on the red curtain is shining brightly, full of vitality and vitality. , symbolizing endless generations of reproduction.
The food official took her maids and laid out food: Xi, Jie, Ying, rice, fruit, Yisuan and other kinds of grains.
Each food was placed with a dagger made of pure gold.
Lin Chuer, wearing a phoenix crown and Xia Pei, sat quietly on the wedding bed.
She had been waiting for me in the new house for a long time.
Under the guidance of the female officer, I staggered to the soft wedding bed and sat opposite Lin Chuer.
Under the guidance of the female officer, we first performed the sacrificial ceremony, placing leek, sorghum, guai, naked, rice, and beam into golden sacrificial vessels, and prayed to God to ask the gods and ancestors to sacrifice for us.
Blessings for a happy marriage from heaven and earth.
After the sacrifice, Si Shi respectfully handed us a soft handkerchief.
Lin Chuer and I took the handkerchief and wiped our hands.
The female official in charge of food knelt down in front of us, tasted the food presented first, and showed that there was no poison in the food, and then gave us the pure and beautiful pork belly to eat with her own hands.
This is what we usually call eating three meals a day.
This is just a symbol.
Lin Chuer took a gestalt bite.
I had not eaten for a whole day.
At this time, I felt abnormally hungry for some reason.
I actually ate the bowl in a few mouthfuls.
I ate all the pork belly.
The food official was dumbfounded.
She didn't expect that I could eat so much.
I chuckled and said, "I'm a little hungry."
I couldn't help but let out a wine burp, feeling that my head was getting more and more groggy.
Two young and beautiful female food officials brought hot water, joined hands, and offered two portions of fine wine to Lin Chu'er and I.
I, Lin Chu'er, dressed in fine clothes, performed the sacrifice again, and then solemnly performed the ceremony.
The incense gift represents the good union of the two surnames, serving the ancestral temple at the top, and succeeding to the descendants, the heaven and the earth are harmonious, and the four seas share the same spring, and finally drink the harmonious wine.
At this time, the various ceremonial ceremonies came to an end.
The female official signaled the palace maid to remove the good works.

Under the guidance of the palace maid, Lin Chuer and I went to the left and right rooms respectively to remove our solemn and luxurious clothes and put on festive regular clothes.
The female officer Shang Bedong and the female officer Shang Shi took their maids and knelt down before us and excused themselves.
They closed the door and left a quiet space for me and Lin Chu'er.
I lifted a corner of my hijab, feeling a bit of anticipation in my heart for Lin Chuer, who was about to become my wife.
I heard Lin Chuer's soft and loud breathing start to become rapid.
Her mood must have become extremely nervous at the moment.
I slowly took off my hijab, and the red silk gently fell to the ground.
I couldn't help but marvel at Lin Chuer's beautiful eyebrows.
Under her slender eyebrows, she has a pair of clear pupils, like two clear springs.
Under the bridge of her nose, which is like a fine sculpture, are her soft and moist lips, with extremely beautiful curves. , the corners of his lips were slightly raised, showing a bit of confidence.
These beautiful facial features perfectly fit together on the same pure and refined face.
No wonder Emperor Xinde had the idea of including her into the harem.
When our eyes met, I didn't feel any tenderness or expectation from Lin Chuer's beautiful eyes.
An unspeakable strangeness suddenly widened the distance between us.
In my imagination, Lin Chu'er was supposed to be a gentle, lovely, shy girl, but all I found in her eyes was calmness and reason.
Somehow, I suddenly had a strong feeling that Lin Chu'er didn't want to marry me.
Lin Chuer was so beautiful that it was breathtaking, but it was the kind of beauty that could not be imagined in the world.
I looked at her flawless pretty face and slowly sat on the seat opposite the wedding bed.
"Are you unhappy?"
I asked quietly.
Lin Chuer's expression was cold and calm: "Chuer is not unhappy."
I picked up the tea cup on the table and found that the tea was already dry.
Lin Chuer stood up silently, filled the tea cup for me, and then sat down on the wedding bed again.
I drained the tea cup and said softly: "Do you know, starting from tonight we will stay together for the rest of our lives."
Lin Chuer nodded, slowly raised her delicate hands, and unbuttoned her Jifu.
I watched her movements quietly, and suddenly I found tears shining in her beautiful eyes.
Finally, a crystal tear couldn't be restrained and slowly slid down her pretty face.
For some reason, Li Ji's appearance appeared in front of my eyes again, "Yinkong, I hate you."
I couldn't help but shudder and closed my eyes tightly.
When she opened her eyes again, Lin Chuer had already taken off her outer shirt, and her gauze underwear faintly revealed her snow-white skin.
It made me even more excited.
As long as I walked over, I could easily occupy her. ’s delicate body.
But I saw her tears again.
I didn't say anything and stood up slowly.
Lin Chuer's beautiful eyes revealed a look of horror.
This look shot into my heart like a sharp arrow.
I suppressed the sadness and anger in my heart and turned around suddenly.
He walked towards the door.
I suddenly found that I couldn't attack Lin Chuer.
This was not because of my kindness and self-esteem, but because I saw Lin Chuer's eyes.
Her eyes were filled with an indescribable despair and sadness.
I seemed to have seen Li Ji's story repeat itself.
I couldn't convince myself to continue facing her.
I suddenly felt like a butcher in front of her.
The maids guarding the door were stunned when they saw me coming out.

They didn't dare to ask, so they all lowered their heads in fear.
I roared angrily: "What are you doing here, get out of here?"
Yi An did not go far.
He hurried over when he heard the noise.
He signaled the group of maids to retreat, and then whispered: "Why don't you go back and rest, little master?"
I said coldly: "I'm not in the mood."
Yi An was speechless for a moment, and it took him a long time to say: "But tonight is..."
"I'm going to the study to rest."
When I came to the door of the study, my depressed mood did not diminish at all.
I pushed the door and found a jar of wine from the cupboard.
I opened the mud seal and drank it with my mouth.
The hot wine went down my stomach, and the wine filled my heart with sadness, which made me even more sad.
I clearly realized that my anger was not because of Lin Chuer.
Li Ji has become an incomprehensible complex in my heart.
I began to reflect on whether my treatment of her was too cruel.
I was willing to take risks to Yan Lin, Hui Qiao, Siqi, and even Jing Hou, who had harmed me several times.
There has never been any repayment for Li Ji alone.
Li Ji's fate is more tragic than any of them.
The only hope in her life is me.
She will do anything for me, and what have I done for her?
Even before leaving Daqin, I couldn't even say a word of comfort to her.
No, am I too cruel?
From Lin Chuer's eyes, I saw Li Ji's look when she was leaving, and this look easily touched the pain deep in my heart.
I staggered to the cellar.
Tang Mei, who was guarding outside the cellar, did not expect that I would arrive at this time.
He hurriedly stepped forward to support me and said, "Sir, you have drunk too much."
I smiled and shook my head, pushed Tang Mei away and walked into the cellar.
When she walked into the cellar, she heard Yan Lin's miserable cry, and Yan Ping was standing by her side, trying to comfort her.
Hearing the footsteps, Yanping raised her head.
Her eyes widened in surprise.
I put my index finger on my lips and showed a weird smile.
Yanping nodded and turned around to leave the cellar.
I slowly closed the cellar door and came to sit next to Yan Lin.
She was still hugging her knees, her pretty face buried in her knees, sobbing and sobbing.
My heart was filled with apologies, so I put down the wine jar and gently patted Yan Lin on the shoulder.
Yan Lin slowly raised her head.
Her beautiful eyes were already red and swollen from crying.
Her eyes were full of disbelief, and then immediately turned into extreme anger.
She clenched her fist and hit me hard on the chest, punch after punch, and I endured it silently.
It wasn't until Yan Lin was tired from the beating that she threw herself into my arms and burst into tears.
I kissed her pretty face gently: "Silly girl, I'm not here right now."
Yan Lin cried bitterly: "Yinkong, you have no conscience.
Do you know that you are my only support in this world?
If you don't want me, I will die."
I hugged her delicate body tightly and said, "My dear Lin'er, why did I say I didn't want you?"

Yan Lin held back her tears and said, "But why do you want to take a concubine?"
I wiped away the tears on her face with my sleeves and said, "It's not that I don't want you anymore when I take the concubine.
You knew back then that Yaoru was also my concubine.
Why can you accept her but not accept me taking the concubine today?"
Yan Lin bit her lower lip hard and said, "But you didn't discuss it with me."
I kissed her delicate lips softly and said, "As the prince of Dakang, I cannot refuse the marriage offered by my father.
You were still in Zhongshan Kingdom at that time, so even if I wanted to discuss it with you, it was impossible."
Yan Lin gradually lost her temper and said softly: "But you locked me up in this cellar today just to have a concubine.
It's obvious that you like the new and dislike the old."
Thinking of this, she suddenly became angry again, grabbed my arm and gave me a strong blow.
After taking a bite, I screamed in pain, my body fell backwards involuntarily, and my head hit the wall hard.
I felt dizzy and almost fainted.
When Yan Lin saw my appearance, she was so frightened that she didn't know what to do.
She hugged my body tightly and said, "Yinkong, are you okay?
Don't scare me."
I shook my head with a wry smile, picked up the wine jar on the ground and said, "Lin'er, we've been apart for a long time.
Let's get drunk with me."
Yan Lin and I were drinking and chatting.
I was already drunk, but within two sips my eyes were shaking.
I hugged Yan Lin’s delicate body and giggled, “Do you still remember when you raped me?”
Yan Lin was so embarrassed that her pretty face turned red and she whispered softly: "You slut, it's obviously you."
Halfway through, probably remembering the situation at that time, her inner feelings aroused, and she pressed her head tightly against my chest. ,soft He reached into my clothes, gently touched my toned body, and said softly: "You are mine, I can treat you how I want to treat you, but now I want to rape you again, and you have to do it again."
How dare you” Yan Lin's words greatly stimulated me.
I deliberately looked panicked, covered my chest and said, "If you really dare to do this, I will scream for help."
Yan Lin smiled charmingly, pushed me to the ground, straddled me, and said coquettishly: "You can scream as loudly as you want, no one will dare to save you."
"I'm so scared" Yan Lin leaned down her delicate body, her hot cherry lips had already blocked my lips, and her fragrant tongue gently popped into my mouth, gently teasing my lips and teeth with a hint of wine.
She unbuttoned my robe one by one, and kissed my lips one by one.
An indescribable sense of pleasure filled my whole body.
I took a deep breath, wrapped my hands around Yan Lin's slender waist, and pulled off her skirt.
With Yan Lin's soft cry, I turned over and pressed her under me, looking into Yan Lin's beautiful eyes.
She was already full of temptation, she whispered: "Who is planning to rape now?"
My hands caressed her delicate and smooth feet, and slowly lifted up the long skirt along her graceful contours.
Yan Lin's delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and her starry eyes were half-opened and half-closed.
I don't know why, her expression suddenly became cold, and she suddenly pushed her on my chest.
I was caught off guard and pushed to the ground by her, and she said in shock: "What are you doing?"
Yan Lin raised her eyebrows and said: "Yinkong, you shameless lecher, it must be your princess who doesn't let you touch her.
You just came back to me.
What do you think I am?
I'm a slave you call around." "?"
I stretched out my hand to grab her, but Yan Lin, in shame and anger, grabbed the unfinished jar of wine on the ground and poured it over my head.
I hugged her glistening calves, threw her to the ground again, and got entangled with her.
Our bodies were covered with wine and dust.
Yan Lin grabbed my ear and said, "You thief, if you dare to use force on me, I will scream loudly and let the whole palace know about your beastly behavior."
Before she could finish speaking, I blocked her lips with my tongue.
My hands went deep into her clothes to open her bellyband, held her breasts, and rubbed her buds with my fingertips.

Yan Lin tore my hair hard and tried to push me off her body.
I endured the pain and said, "Lin'er, your position in my heart has never changed.
The bride I really want is you."
My tender words immediately touched Yan Lin's heart, and her eyes gradually softened.
I kissed her cherry lips, and Yan Lin finally spit out her soft tongue and let me suck it.
Under my passionate kiss, her heart was completely softened by me.
She stretched out her jade arms to hug my waist tightly, her delicate body and My body was grinding to death.
I lifted up her skirt again, and when my big hands touched Yan Lin's smooth and delicate thighs, her delicate body trembled slightly.
My hand continued to explore along the inner side of her thigh, but Yanlin seemed to be resisting.
She clamped my hand, trying to prevent me from further movements, and my body squeezed forcefully between her legs.
With a low growl from me, we quickly ignited the flames between us.
Yanlin didn't call for help.
Her moans and gasps were very restrained.
Her passion was more intense than I imagined.
We stayed together all night, using our bodies to express our deep attachment to each other.
No wonder women are said to be good medicine for healing.
After several scenes with Yan Lin, the depression in my heart has indeed been relieved a lot.
I couldn't sleep well for two consecutive nights.
I was indeed a little tired, so I lay in Yan Lin's arms and fell asleep.
When I woke up, Yan Lin was lying beside the bed.
It seemed that she had been waiting for me.
A warm feeling emerged in my heart.
With so many women who love me, why should I care too much about Lin Chu'er?
She only It's just a tool for me to achieve political goals.
Whether she has feelings for me or not, what does it matter?
I gently stroked Yan Lin's long hair, but the slight movement woke her up.
Yan Lin smiled softly and said, "You're awake."
I nodded and said: "How long have I been asleep?"
"It's dark in the cellar, how could I know?"
Yan Lin's answer made me feel guilty again.
She suddenly hugged my body and said, "Yinkong, I was wrong."
I said in shock: "Lin'er, do you have a fever?"
Yan Lin spat softly: "You just have a fever."
She then added: "As a prince, you must have many things to consider.
I should be more considerate of your pain."
I touched the back of my head.
The real sun came out from the west.
In just one night, this unruly princess seemed to have changed into a different person.
Did she mean to trick me?
I looked at her dubiously.
Yan Lin smiled and said, "You are so heavy.
I almost died from exhaustion after putting you on this bed last night."
I said with a bad smile: "Why didn't you say anything when I pressed on you last night?"
Yan Lin blushed and grabbed my ear and said: "You thief, you really can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth."
I hurriedly begged for mercy, and Yan Lin let go of my ears and whispered: "You were so cute last night, you were calling my name in your dreams."

I thought to myself: "What's going on?
See how intoxicated this girl is, and she doesn't know what I said."
This is good, at least let her know that my feelings for her have never changed.
I took the opportunity to put my arms around her shoulders and said, "Lin'er, these days, I have been extremely conflicted.
The fact that I took the concubine this time was arranged by my father.
I don't have any feelings for Lin Chu'er."
What I said is the truth.
Before I met Lin Chuer, I was completely unfamiliar with her.
After meeting her, the strangeness became even more profound.
Yan Lin nodded and said, "I know your pain."
I sighed and said, "When I asked Tang Mei to take you directly to Northern Xinjiang, I didn't want you to accompany me to bear this kind of pain."
This sentence was somewhat hypocritical.
The reason why I asked Tang Mei I took her to Northern Xinjiang because I was afraid that she would cause trouble on the wedding day.
Tears shone in Yan Lin's beautiful eyes, and she was obviously extremely moved: "I know."
She took the initiative to offer her sweet lips and said, "I have decided to leave here with Tang Mei today to save you the trouble."
I feel relieved in my heart.
If Yan Lin goes to Xuancheng first, she will definitely solve the dilemma in front of her.
However, if she meets Yun Na, I am afraid she will become even more jealous.
However, with Yun Na's wisdom and skills, she should not be able to deal with Yan Lin.
Difficult, let her do this troublesome thing.
With a look of deep love, I hugged Yan Lin with all my love and affection.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Nizi's passion was aroused again, and she pushed me down on the bed.
After another fight, she reluctantly let me go. open.
It was almost noon when we walked out of the cellar.
Tang Mei was still guarding the entrance of the cellar.
When he saw me coming out, he looked at me with a strange expression and said, "Young Master is awake."
I smiled awkwardly and whispered that Yan Lin had agreed to go to Xuancheng, so that Tang Mei could quietly escort Yan Lin out today.
It wasn't just Tang Mei who was waiting for me.
Yi An looked even more anxious than Tang Mei.
When he saw me, he rushed up and said, "My little ancestor, you finally came out."
I chuckled and said, "What made you so anxious?"
Yi An pointed to the sun in the sky and said, "Look at what time it is.
As usual, you and the princess will go to the palace to serve tea today."
"Oops" I slapped my head hard.
I drank too much last night.
How could I forget such an important thing?
If I can't reach the palace before noon, I will definitely make people laugh.
He hurriedly finished taking a shower, changed his clothes, and went to the new house to pick up Lin Chuer.
Lin Chuer put on a red palace dress with exquisite embroidery, which made her look even more beautiful.
She still looked out the window silently with her beautiful eyes in the same posture as last night.
I closed the door and whispered: "We have to go to the palace immediately to serve tea."
Lin Chuer slowly turned around and said softly: "I won't go."
"What?"
I couldn't help but feel angry.
Didn't she mean to go against me?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I said coldly: "You are Princess Ping now.
I'm afraid it's not up to you whether to go or not."
Lin Chuer showed no fear, her beautiful eyes stared at me, and she slowly unfolded the white silk handkerchief in her hand.
Only then did I understand the reason why she didn't go.
Last night was our wedding day.
As a rule, Lin Chuer's virginity must be left on this silk handkerchief.
The queen will personally inspect it after entering the palace today.
I didn't have sex with her last night, and how could Luo Hong enter the palace like this?
She would become the laughing stock of others.
Maybe the palace would think that Lin Chu'er was not perfect, and the trouble would only be greater.
I looked out the window anxiously and blurted out, "It's too late."
Lin Chuer's pretty face blushed slightly, this sentence must have had another meaning in her ears.
I pulled out the machete from my waist, pulled up my sleeves, and quickly cut my forearm.
"You" Lin Chuer cried out softly, and immediately understood what I meant.
I took the silk handkerchief from her hand and stained the silk handkerchief with the blood flowing from my arm.
Maybe my cut was too deep and a large pool of blood flowed out.
Lin Chuer bit her lower lip, then took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve and bandaged my wound.
Using this method to muddle through is a last resort.
When Lin Chuer and I arrived at the palace, luckily it was not yet noon, and Emperor Xinde and Concubine Jingde were already waiting for us at Yongshou Palace.
I pulled Lin Chu'er to kneel down and kowtow in fear: "The baby is late, I hope that the father and the queen will forgive me."
Concubine Jingde smiled and said: "Young people are newly married, so it is inevitable to sleep late.
Besides, you are not late to serve tea after all."
She stood up and took Lin Chuer's catkins, and the two of them walked into the curtain with their heads lowered.
After that, it seemed that I was going to test the results of Lin Chuer and I's battle.
Thinking that there was indeed too much blood on the silk handkerchief, would Concubine Jingde think that I was barbaric and didn't know how to be considerate of her precious niece?
I couldn't help but have a wry smile on my lips.
Not long after, Concubine Jingde came out with a smile on her face and Lin Chuer, who was very shy.
Needless to say, she must have asked something that was difficult to talk about.
I secretly lamented that I was reduced to cutting my arms to pretend to be red.
If Yun Na and the others knew about it, it would definitely be a joke.
Concubine Jingde and Emperor Xinde sat down again, and then Lin Chuer and I offered tea to them.
Emperor Xinde kept looking at Lin Chuer.
Although I didn't have much affection for Lin Chuer, I still felt extremely angry when I saw Emperor Xinde's almost obscene look.
Concubine Jingde smiled and said: "You are already husband and wife.
You must seize the time to give me some grandchildren in the future."
I said respectfully: "Don't worry, Madam, we will work hard."
Lin Chuer's pretty face turned red again.
Emperor Xinde looked at her bewilderedly and said, "Chu'er, how does Yinkong treat you?"
Lin Chu'er looked at me, lowered her head shyly, and said softly: "Father, Your Highness is very kind to Chu'er."
I didn't expect that she was quite good at acting.
After all, she was the daughter of King Yi, so she was indeed well-informed.
Concubine Jingde wanted to keep us in the palace for dinner, so I left Yongshou Palace with Lin Chuer on the pretext that there were other matters in the palace.
I'm actually afraid that if I stay too long, they might notice something.
Besides, I really can't stand Emperor Xinde's hateful eyes.
Lin Chuer is my concubine after all, and he doesn't even know the basic respect.

When Lin Chuer and I walked out of the Yongshou Palace, her eyes stopped on the lotus pond in front of her, her eyes blurred and ethereal, as if she remembered something.
I coughed lightly, and she came to her senses this time, walking silently outside the palace beside me.
Although we were in the same car together, we seldom talked and the silence sometimes felt more like a confrontation and struggle.
I never thought that one day I would be speechless to a stunning beauty, let alone that she would still be my wife.
When passing by Dongzheng Street, Lin Chuer opened the car curtain and looked at the street scene outside the car.
I leaned in the car and dozed off.
Lin Chuer suddenly said: "Stop."
The carriage slowly stopped.
I was slightly startled, opened my eyes, and saw Lin Chuer opening the car door and getting out of the car.
I followed her out of the car out of curiosity, but I saw her walking towards a stall selling dough-making products on the roadside, picking up one of the dough-making products, with a rare smile on her face.
Her smile was like a spring flower blooming beautifully. , bright and delicate, my heartstrings can't help but beat.
In a daze, the image of a little girl suddenly appeared in my mind.
It seemed that the girl was holding a mask in her hand and walking on the ice with a smile.
Lin Chuer naturally didn't carry any money with her, so I signaled Yi An to take out the broken silver and help Lin Chuer pay the bill.
Lin Chuer cast a grateful look at me.
At this moment, an inexplicable sense of crisis suddenly filled my heart.
I suddenly raised my head and saw a man in white on the roof opposite, with his bow string fully drawn. , aiming at Lin Chuer's back, a feathered arrow with full concentration had already left the string.
Che Hao, he still has not left Kangdu.
In this flash of lightning, I already understood his true intention.
He was going to use the same cruel means to retaliate against me.
"Be careful!"
I yelled, and threw myself on Lin Chu'er with all my strength.
My body tried its best to make a sideways spin, and the tip of the arrow suddenly deviated from my vital point, but it still escaped from my right shoulder.
Penetrating, the pain that penetrated my bone marrow made me grit my teeth hard.
My left hand quickly pulled out the long knife from my waist and blocked it backwards out of instinct.
When Che Hao shot that arrow, his body had already flown down from the eaves like a big bird, and his long sword slanted downwards, trying to pierce the back of my heart.
My long-term and arduous training in Donghu played a key role at this time.
My sense of danger and adaptability have entered a first-class state.
The injury to my right shoulder seriously affected my movements.
My left-handed knife is not my strong point, and both my strength and skills were obviously compromised.
Che Hao's sword strike with all his strength made my arm numb slightly.
I took three steps back before I could remove the power of his sword strike.
My guards rushed up in a hurry.
They were obviously no match for Che Hao.
I calmly said: "Protect the princess, I will deal with it here."
A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Che Hao's lips: "When death is imminent, I still pretend to be a hero."
I suddenly inserted the long knife deeply into the bluestone ground, bit my lower lip, and suddenly broke the feather arrow still inserted in my right shoulder
.
