Chapter 649: Newlyweds

Shen Ningning ate something and waited.

Mo Lingwei probably told the palace servants that the bridesmaid would come in from time to time to chat with Shen Ningning.

But Shen Ningning soon fell asleep.

Last night, she and her mother lay together and talked until the third watch.

The mother and daughter had not met for so many years, and whenever they were together, they wanted to finish everything they wanted to say.

Shen Ningning only slept for half an hour before she was called up to dress up.

So it was just past noon and she was already sleepy and squinting her eyes.

Seeing her leaning against the bed curtains, the bridesmaid said, "Crown Princess, I'll take off the phoenix crown on your head for you. Can you take a nap?"

Shen Ningning opened her eyes: "Can I sleep? Do I have to wait for my brother to come back?"

The bridesmaid smiled and said, "Before the Crown Prince left, he told me that everything should be based on your comfort. After all, no one else will come for a while, so it's okay to take it off."

Shen Ningning nodded when she heard it. The bridesmaid helped her take off the heavy phoenix crown, and she felt a lot more relaxed in her neck.

The bridesmaid helped again and took off the cumbersome outer robe. Shen Ningning finally relaxed for a while. She rubbed her sore waist. She had been sitting with her back straight, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Crown Princess, then you take a rest first. I'll go to the door to guard it. Call me again if you have any instructions."

After the bridesmaid left, Shen Ningning lay down directly.

But she felt uncomfortable under her body, as if something was bulging.

Shen Ningning sat up and reached under the mattress, and unexpectedly pulled out several dried dates, walnuts, and peanuts.

She opened her eyes wide: "Brother, why do you hide food here if you're afraid I'm hungry?"

Fortunately, Shen Ningning had already eaten her fill. She turned the mattress over and took out all the dates and peanuts, then re-laid the quilt before lying down.

It was almost evening when Mo Lingwei came back drunk.

He pushed open the door and swayed a little. The eunuchs carefully supported him, but he only called Shen Ningning's name.

"Your eldest and second brothers are too drunk. They also found ten drunkards to knock me down."

There was some inexplicable grievance in his words.

Mo Lingwei talked to himself, waved his hand, and asked the young eunuchs to go down. He closed the door with his backhand.

"Fortunately, I had anticipated this and arranged for someone to help me block the wine. Otherwise, I would have been drunk in the outer hall today and would not be able to come back to accompany you."

He walked around the screen and saw the sleeping figure on the bed, and his voice stopped abruptly.

The beauty on the bed breathed evenly, her beautiful face exuded tranquility, she slept slightly on her side, her posture was leisurely, one of her feet was still on the edge of the bed, she was hugging the pillow on Mo Lingwei's side, sleeping soundly.

Mo Lingwei's heart softened all of a sudden.

He slowly stepped forward, helped put Shen Ningning's feet back, and covered her with a quilt.

Then he sat by the couch, quietly watching her face.

At this time, the happiness of marrying Shen Ningning home was completely concrete.

He liked the feeling of being able to see her immediately after returning from outside.

When Shen Ningning woke up, it was already the night of the night.

She rubbed her eyes, the red candles in the room were shining brightly, and her vision became clear from blurry.

Mo Lingwei was reading a book seriously. He noticed Shen Ningning sitting up from the corner of his eye, so he turned his head and smiled: "Finally woke up?"

Shen Ningning blinked blankly: "Why didn't you call me? What time is it?"

"It's almost the hour of Xu, I see you are really tired, so I want you to sleep a little longer." Otherwise, she was tired, and he was reluctant to do anything.

Shen Ningning sat up, Mo Lingwei put down the book, walked over and held her hand: "Are you hungry? I'll ask someone to bring you food?"

Shen Ningning shook her head: "Not hungry, just thirsty."

She walked to the table to drink tea, and picked up the book that Mo Lingwei had just read. It was an ordinary book cover, without even a name.

Shen Ningning opened it curiously, flipped through two pages, and suddenly became blushing.

She put the book down suddenly, stood up suddenly, and looked at Mo Lingwei who seemed to be smiling.

"You, you, why are you reading such an indecent book!"

Mo Lingwei looked innocent and calm when she said that: "How can I learn without watching me? What if I hurt you without experience?"

He could actually say such a thing so bluntly!

There were shadows outside, and it seemed that there were palace maids on duty. Shen Ningning was extremely shy, afraid that they would hear her.

Mo Lingwei laughed softly: "Fortunately it's not difficult, maybe you will like it too."

Shen Ningning stamped her feet in shame and went to cover his mouth directly.

"Don't say it!"

Mo Lingwei seemed to be waiting for this moment. He picked up Shen Ningning and walked towards the bed.

Shen Ningning panicked: "What are you doing?"

"I didn't forget the wedding night. I saw you sleeping so sweetly before, and I couldn't bear to wake you up. Now that you are not hungry or tired, let's study the paintings in the book, okay?"

Mo Lingwei said, and he had already put her down. The moment his thin lips kissed her, Shen Ningning immediately blocked him.

"What if I can't say it well?"

Mo Lingwei raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then I can only make you speechless, Madam."

He kissed her lips, and indeed swallowed Shen Ningning's protests.

The bed curtain fell, and I don't know when the candles burned down. There was only a swaying light and shadow in the room, which rose and fell with the bed curtains until dawn, and the last ray of light was completely burned out.

The brothers Xie Mingxu and Xie Mingan got drunk yesterday under the arrangement of Mo Lingwei.

So early this morning, the two brothers came to the East Palace again to pay their respects.

The eunuch in charge kindly invited the two brothers of the Crown Princess to sit in the main hall.

He smiled and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have not woken up yet, please wait for a while."

Xie Mingxu glanced at the clock next to him. It was just past noon. His sister must have been too tired from getting married yesterday. It would be fine if she slept a little longer.

"No problem, you can go and do your own work."

However, the two brothers waited for half an hour.

It was almost noon.

The eunuch came to add tea for them three times. The two brothers took turns to go to the toilet. This was the fourth time.

Finally, Xie Mingan could not sit still anymore. He stood up and called the eunuch at the door: "Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have not woken up yet?"

It was noon, and his sister couldn't go hungry!

The eunuch bowed and smiled apologetically: "He hasn't gotten up yet, please wait a little longer."

Xie Mingxu and Xie Mingan looked at each other and frowned.

Xie Mingan whispered to Xie Mingxu: "Brother, I suspect that the Crown Prince is afraid that the two of us will come to make trouble again, so he deliberately hides my sister from us."

Xie Mingxu crossed his arms and thought coldly: "The Crown Prince should not be so absurd, but let's wait a little longer."

In this way, at noon, the steward eunuch of the East Palace served the meal and asked the brothers to eat while waiting.

Half an hour after the meal, Xie Mingxu didn't want to wait any longer, he stood up: "Has the Crown Prince really not gotten up? Today we two have important things to discuss."

The eunuch felt embarrassed: "I just asked, he hasn't gotten up yet."

Just then, a little eunuch ran over: "Eunuch, there is movement in the room, the Crown Prince is passing water in!"

Xie Mingxu and Xie Mingan looked at each other, really just got up?

The eunuch in charge smiled and said, "Look, my two lords, wait a moment. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has finished bathing and washing, I will inform you two right away."

So, the two of them sat down again and waited.

However, another two sticks of incense passed...

The little eunuch hurried over: "Eunuch, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess seem to have fallen asleep again. The water in the room was lifted out for bathing, and there was no movement."

Xie Mingxu:...

Xie Mingan slammed the table: "Can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess bear sleeping for so long?"

As he said, he stepped out: "I'll go and persuade them!"

The eunuch in charge was shocked and didn't dare to let him in.

The Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess were newly married, why are these two uncles always messing with them!

"Master Xie, you can't..."

Just then, someone came to report: "The Prime Minister's wife is here."

Xie Mingxu and Xie Mingan paused.

Is mother coming to see my sister too? (End of this chapter)
