Jin Wang Dotes on His Concubine

Chapter 227.2

After the meal, they each went for a bath. Zhao Chen originally wanted to join her, but after thinking about it, he endured it.

He came out first, and when Yue'er emerged from the bathing room, he was already sitting by the bed, waiting for her.

Zhao Chen raised his hand, and palace maids and eunuchs all withdrew. Despite the spacious room, it felt cramped at this moment. Sun Yue'er's heart was be ating very fast and she was scared he might hear it.

Following the teachings of the palace nannies, Sun Yue'er knew what would happen next. However, what she knew was very limited, especially now that her mind was in a haze.

Zhao Chen reached out to pull her towards him.

Yue'er was extremely nervous, her hands were sweaty, and with a trembling voice, she said, "Let's just talk."

"What do you want to talk about?"

Despite having nothing important to talk about, she found words to say, "What time did you wake up today? I woke up at yin-shi'W , and was busy the whole d ay. Now I'm really exhausted. How about we go to sleep?"

"Alright," Zhao Chen nodded.

If she thought she could escape like this, she would have underestimated Zhao Chen too much.

Now that he had what he had been thinking about for days right in front of him, he'd be a fool to let go of such an opportunity.

He approached her and whispered in her ear, "Are you already asleep?"

She didn't reply.

He muttered to himself, "Looks like she really fell asleep. This way, it's more convenient for me."

While Yue'er was thinking about what was convenient, he had already slipped under the covers, and his hands and feet immediately started acting dishonest. Unable to resist, she turned around and wanted to push him away but didn't dare to, so she could only look at him pitifully, "Xiaobao Gege, I'm really tired. Wh y don't we rest and wait until tomorrow?"

Her eyes were watery, pretending to be on the verge of tears, her rosy lips trembling.

"Tomorrow, we have to get up early to meet Father Emperor and Mother Empress. It's better to rest early, ok?"

The word "ok" was forcefully swallowed by him.

The dragon and phoenix candles had burned out, and the hall was quiet.

Dim morning light shone in from the window, casting a peaceful atmosphere throughout the room.

On the bed, the couple was still fast asleep. Outside the palace gate, Xiao Anzi and the others were already waiting, but there was no sound of movement insi de.

"Brother An, this..." A young eunuch beside him was anxious, saying, "If this continues, we will be late to report to His Majesty and Her Majesty."

Xiao Anzi was also anxious; he gritted his teeth and approached the door, softly calling, "Your Highness, it's time to get up."

No response came from inside.

"Your Highness...”

Half awake, Yue'er heard the voice and pushed the person next to her.

"Someone seems to be calling for you.” As soon as these words were spoken, she realized where she was and what had happened. She sat up in a hurry, but felt a pain in her waist, and let out a sound of exclamation

"Are you okay?" Zhao Chen quickly supported her, wanting to hold her into his arms, but was pushed away.

"You! Stay away from me!"

She hugged the covers with red cheeks, avoiding his gaze. Her voice was both tender and soft, with a hint of hoarseness from just waking up. Zhao Chen und erstood why she reacted this way, thinking back to how excessive they were last night. He coughed lightly, and said, "It's Xiao Anzi. I'll get up first, take your ti me, no need to hurry."

With that said, he put on his clothes and got down from the bed. Yue'er, who was feeling uncomfortable all over, felt even more annoyed when she saw him lik e this. However, this annoyance was more of a playful one.

After tidying up, it was already late, so they skipped breakfast and headed straight to Kunning Palace.

At Kunning Palace, following Yaoniang's instructions from the day before, the other children were already there. Emperor Jin'an, who took a day off from morn ing court today was also present. The whole family was waiting and hadn't had breakfast yet.

However, the newlyweds had not arrived yet, and the tea in Yaoniang and Emperor Jin'an's hands had already been changed twice.

"Mother, I'm hungry," Changle said.

"Wait a bit more; your elder brother and sister-in-law should be here soon." Yaoniang comforted her.

Just as they were talking, someone reported that the crown prince and crown princess had arrived.

They hurriedly asked people to welcome the young couple in. They first served tea according to the customs, and Yaoniang gave them a greeting gift. Sun Yu e'er stood up with Zhao Chen supporting her.@@novelbin@@

Yaoniang couldn't take her eyes off her daughter-in-law, although she had known for a long time that Yue'er would be her daughter-in-law, when she actually became her daughter-in-law, the realization made her emotions complicated—both happy and bittersweet.

Emperor Jin'an noticed Yaoniang staring in a daze, and couldn't help but use the cover of his sleeve to nudge her, saying, "Little Fourth is hungry; let's have th e meal served."

Yaoniang finally reacted and hurriedly ordered the servants to serve the meal.

After finishing breakfast, Yaoniang didn't keep the newlyweds for long and let them go back to rest.

It was just a casual remark, thinking that the couple had been busy all day on their wedding day and must be tired. But Yue'er, blushing, lowered her head shyl y. Emperor Jin'an gave Yaoniang a glance, and only then did she realize what she had just implied.

Embarrassed, her face turned slightly red, and she waved her hand to let the children leave.

When the children left, the hall suddenly became empty. Yaoniang was lost in thought for a moment and couldn't help but say, "I can finally understand the fee lings my mother said about being a mother-in-law."

"What feelings?"

Both happy and sentimental—happy that her son had finally grown up, sentimental because her son had finally grown up, and in the future, the person closest to him would be his wife.

However, Yaoniang didn't say these words; she just sighed, "In the blink of an eye, we are all so old, already becoming father-in-law and mother-in-law. Mayb e we'll be able to hold our grandchildren in the near future."

"I don't feel old, nor do I think you're old."

"Really?"

"Of course."
