Chapter 232 Newlyweds
The shadow of the carved window frame was cast on the wall by the sunlight, and Shen Yu finally struggled to wake up.
She looked at the bed curtains in a daze, and felt a little regretful. Her body was more tired than after a battle, as if it had been run over by a carriage countless times.
Shen Yu gently pulled away the hand around her body, ready to roll over from Xie Tingzhou to get up and wash.
Just when she climbed halfway, Xie Tingzhou pulled her arm back and pressed her on him, saying in a daze: "It's still early, sleep a little longer."
Xie Tingzhou was also very tired, and the result of having a good time was that he lay down at dawn and slept for less than two hours.
Shen Yu was not taught before she got married in this life, but she still remembered the rules of her previous life.
The bride had to get up early to greet the elders and offer tea, and she had to get up and dress up. If she didn't get up, it would be too late.
"I have to get up." Shen Yu struggled in his arms.
Xie Tingzhou didn't let go, "Why did you get up?"
"I have to get up to serve tea to my parents-in-law."
Xie Tingzhou didn't say anything, as if he had fallen asleep again, but his arms were tightly wrapped around her.
Shen Yu struggled again, and Xie Tingzhou simply turned over and pressed her half down, buried his head in her neck and spoke incoherently.
"We don't have this rule, my father might not even get up yet."
Shen Yu didn't sleep well to begin with, and now she gave up completely and fell asleep again.
After a while, there was a lot of flapping sounds under the eaves outside, which completely woke Xie Tingzhou up.
Seeing that Shen Yu was still sleeping, Xie Tingzhou got up and pulled the quilt for her, put on his outer robe and opened the door.
"What are you arguing about?"
Bai Yu flapped his wings under the eaves, looking very angry.
Xi Feng came early in the morning, but didn't dare to get close. He only dared to come forward when he saw Xie Tingzhou get up.
Xie Tingzhou rubbed the back of his neck, his outer robe hanging loosely.
His eyes were half open, the red on his neck had not faded, and his whole body revealed a kind of relaxation and laziness after being satisfied.
Xifeng only took a glance and dared not look again, lowering his eyes and said: "Maybe he is hungry."
The Saker Falcon is the king of falcons, and it still has some wildness in it. After returning to Beilin, it was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. It flew out for a few days before returning.
When it came back, its claws and beak were still stained with blood and meat residue. I don’t know where it went to hunt.
Xie Tingzhou tied it up with a chain to let it calm down.
It got up late today, and no one came to feed it, so it was unhappy.
"Go get some grouse meat."
Xie Tingzhou walked forward, and Baiyu immediately jumped onto his arm. When Xie Tingzhou untied the anklet, he heard it making an unhappy sound.
"Hungry? No one comes to feed you? This is the first time I've eaten enough."
After saying that, he laughed leisurely and turned his head to call for someone: "Come here."
The maid standing in the distance hurried forward, not daring to look directly at her, and kept her head down waiting for instructions.
Xie Tingzhou stroked Bai Yu's feathers with his fingers to comfort her, and ordered: "Prepare some light breakfast, and some light porridge. The princess doesn't like thick porridge. Prepare some side dishes and put them in the pot when she wakes up. Don't fumigate her clothes. She doesn't like the clothes that were fumigated the day before."
After saying that, he raised his arm and let Bai Yu jump onto the railing. He turned around and walked to the door. He remembered something and turned his head halfway, sweeping his eyes over the maids.
The maids lowered their heads even lower.
Xie Tingzhou said: "There is no need to leave so many people in the yard, just two will be enough. These maids are not familiar with her preferences. Send someone to Hezhou to pick up her two personal maids, and Dahuang."
"Yes." Xifeng asked: "Is it Luyao and Erya? What about Hongqiao?"
Xie Tingzhou was silent, "Forget it, ask her when she wakes up."
Xifeng left in response, and Xie Tingzhou returned to the room.
Then he saw Shen Yu lying on the pillow, facing this side with her face sideways and half-opened her eyes.
"I woke her up." Xie Tingzhou sat on the edge of the bed, his fingertips slid down from her brow bone, and stopped at her earlobe and twisted it lightly.
"Will you get up for dinner?"
Shen Yu shook her head and muttered: "It hurts."
"Where does it hurt?" Xie Tingzhou asked with a smile.
Shen Yu moved her shoulders and said, "It hurts everywhere."
"Then I'll rub it for you." Xie Tingzhou kneaded her neck, looked at her satisfied expression because of comfort, and then set his eyes on her earlobe.
He remembered the expression on her face when he held her in his mouth last night, and his body began to heat up again, and his hand slid down involuntarily.
"What are you doing?" Shen Yu was completely awake.
Before she turned over, Xie Tingzhou pressed on her back, put his lips on her ear and said hoarsely, "I'm going to have breakfast."
Shen Yu was run over by the car again, and she didn't have the so-called breakfast until noon, and she couldn't even open her eyes.
Xie Tingzhou said that there was no need to pay respects, and he really didn't need to. The old prince himself was a casual person, and he hated those red tape the most, so he asked people to send the gifts to the bride and left it alone.
There were many people sitting in the meeting room of the palace, all of whom were the palace's staff and officials.
The wedding delayed a lot of things. The prince was newly married, and the people below did not dare to bother him with troubles. After seven days, they started to discuss matters. Many political affairs were waiting for Xie Tingzhou to make the final decision.
After a busy morning, the staff and officials were invited to the side hall to eat. Xie Tingzhou left the meeting room and prepared to go back to the courtyard to eat with Shen Yu.
Changliu sat at the door and picked ants for a long time. When he saw Xie Tingzhou, he hurried forward and said, "Prince, are you going back to find the princess?"
Xie Tingzhou looked at him, meaning that he was asking even though he knew the answer.
Changliu said, "The princess asked me to tell you that we will not have lunch together. She went to the parade ground."
Xie Tingzhou stopped and said, "Was she at the parade ground? When?"
"She went there early in the morning." Changliu said.
Xie Tingzhou nodded, "I know."
After walking a few steps, he asked again: "Are you wearing a cloak?"
"No." Changliu was smarter this time, "Then I'll have someone prepare it and I'll send it to the princess."
Xiao Chuan and the soldiers have been training in the school field since they came to Beilin from Shengjing.
The four major campuses in the east, west, south, and west of the royal capital are all Qingyun Guards. They are arranged in the south campus where there are fewer people.
Xiao Chuan was ordered to recruit troops again these days, with more than 10,000 new recruits, and the South Campus was now overcrowded.
Xiao Chuan couldn't bring up the matter of school expansion directly with Xie Tingzhou, so he could only invite Shen Yu to discuss it.
"These new recruits are so fucking hard to control." Xiao Chuan squatted on the ground, chewing a white-faced steamed bun, "The people in the north have really different physiques from those in the south. I don't know what they ate to grow up. Yes, all of them are big-hearted and wild-tempered.”
