The Blessed

Walking back and sitting by Yan Shengrui’s side, he swept over the three little ‘ancestors’ with his long and thin phoenix eyes. The empress and prince going back to the palace wasn’t a simple thing. It should have a series of careful arrangements. Since Chu Yunhan had told the magistrate he’d go back to the palace three days later, which meant they’d go to town the day after tomorrow the latest. That was to say, they could only stay in this house for at most one day.

"Tomorrow."

Yan Shengrui made the decision without thinking. Today was their wedding night. Even if the sky fell, it couldn’t stop him sleeping with his sweetheart. Besides, now Chu Yunhan and his son were safe.

"Hehe...It seems that our new bridegroom can’t wait. Jingxuan, tomorrow, give me one hour. I got something to talk to you alone.”

Chu Yunhan wasn’t dull. He smiled as he turned to Ling Jingxuan. Before leaving, he wanted to tell him something, and also asked his opinions by the way.

"Hmm, I also have something for you. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

Nodding, Ling Jingxuan turned to ‘someone’ who had been ignored the whole night, "Lord Six, if you don't mind, tonight you’ll sleep in Yunhan’s place. There happens to be an empty room.”

Zeng Shaoqing, who had not planned to leave at all, nodded immediately, "Ok, I can stay since you beg me.”

“Don’t force yourself.”

Yan Shengrui picked up the teacup and took a sip elegantly, while casting a glance at him with disdain. Apparently that guy was wild with joy in the heart, why still hang in there?

"It's my pleasure. None of your business. Yunhan, come on, let’s go to sleep.”

Throwing him a malicious stare, Zeng Shaoqing hid his superiority complex and looked over at Chu Yunhan. Nearly twenty years later, they finally had a chance to stay alone. It’d only be strange if he let such a great chance slip away.

“Not Yunhan, I’m your imperial sister-in-law.”

Trying to correct him grumpily, Chu Yunhan slowly stood up. Since young, he had never called him brother or what, and now still the same. He really didn’t know what he was thinking.

“No, I’ll call you Yunhan.”

Getting up together with him, Zeng Shaoqing mumbled. If it hadn’t been he was a few years older, he should have already belonged to him. Imperial sister-in-law? Bullshit!

Given Yan Shengrui and Chu Yunhan’s martial arts, how could they not be able to hear what he was mumbling. The former was kind of worried. After all, after going back this time, Chu Yunhan would be aiming at the title of the empress. They were hopeless in this life. And the latter felt helpless, totally taking his stubbornness as childishness, and didn’t think it deeply.

The night was getting darker, and inside the well-decorated new house, the red wedding candles had already been lit, kindling the room. As Yan Shengrui and Ling Jingxuan went into their wedding room, Lady Yang and Lady Zhang who were waiting inside knelt down to greet them.

"Master Sheng, Master Xuan!”

"Go down, you are no longer wanted here."

With a wave of his hand, Yan Shengrui ordered. Lady Yang and lady Zhang froze there, but instantly said, “Master Sheng, we still need to serve you to take the cross-cup wine.”

According to the rules, only after having the cross-cup wine could they be a real couple.

"We'll drink it ourselves. Make the bed. And get out!"

Face sunk, Yan Shengrui’s voice was stained with a bit dominance. The bed was carpeted with peanuts, dried longans and other things that represented auspiciousness. Fortunately Ling Jingxuan was capable of bearing children. Otherwise, weren’t those things that symbolize ‘may you have a baby soon’ like slapping right in their faces?

"Yes."

Daring not to challenge his patience again, Lady Yang and Lady Zhang got up tremblingly. But they didn’t take those things on the bed away, but only brushed them into the innermost of the bed. The masters didn’t believe in those things, but they dared not, otherwise, the old lady would punish them the next morning.

"Ok, get down."

Ling Jingxuan shook his head helplessly, then pulled Yan Shengrui to sit before the little table in the center of the room. And then the two maids turned to leave, and also considerably closed the door for them.

"Have our maids offended you or what? Why be so hard on them?"

Pouring two cups of grape wine for both of them, Ling Jingxuan said so as he found it so amused. Yan Shengrui abruptly grabbed his hand, with a little strength, pulled him to sit on his thigh. Now it were only the two of them, Yan Shengrui rested his head over his shoulder, “I don’t like others disturbing us. Tonight is our wedding night.”

After looking forward to it for so long, he had finally become his own man. Even though he had regained all his memories, Yan Shengrui did not intend to change the way they got along with each other. He enjoyed the feeling when Ling Jingxuan was ‘angry’ with him but could do nothing.

"Hehe...are you going to finish the last step tonight?"

Things like feeling shy would never happen on him. Ling Jingxuan withdrew his helplessness just now, took the initiative to hold his neck, between his eyebrows stained with undisguised temptation.

Deep in that pair of tiger eyes was catching fire, his breath also started to become heavy, but still Yan Shengrui pretended to stay calm, saying while picking his eyebrows, “It’s too late even if you want to escape. I told you, when I regain my memories, it’d be the day I will let you become mine! Jingxuan, after today, you’d be my only wife!”

Yes, the only one! After regaining his memories, he had also remembered a lot of things, like why he hadn’t been married, why the imperial family dare not force him, and so on. He remembered them all!
