If not abolished

Chapter 129 The Wedding is in Progress (2)

"Your Highness is so talented. He can learn it after watching it once." Hu Shanxiang really didn't expect that he would learn this.

"What's the big deal? Zhang Chang has been painting eyebrows since ancient times. What I'm doing is nothing."

Zhu Zhanji saw that Hu Shanxiang still seemed uncomfortable and kept pressing the back of her neck with her hands. "Are you feeling uncomfortable? How about calling a palace maid who knows how to massage you?" Zhu Zhanji suggested.

Hu Shanxiang quickly stopped him, "Don't do that. If this gets out, people will think I'm being squeamish. It's okay. I just wore the Phoenix Coronet for too long. I just need to take a break."

"Then let me massage it for you." Zhu Zhanji went behind her.

"How can this be good..." Before Hu Shanxiang finished speaking, Zhu Zhanji had already taken action and asked, "How strong is it?"

"can."

After a while, Hu Shanxiang asked him to stop: "Your Highness, I am much better now."

"It's making you tired."

"Your Highness, what you said is true. This only happens once in a lifetime. There is no need to worry about it."

"I'll be out for a while. You must have gotten up very early in the morning. If you're tired, you can take a rest first." Zhu Zhanji said as he tidied his clothes and was about to go out.

"This is not good." Hu Shanxiang thought, can she still sleep now?

"What's wrong with that? It's okay, just sleep well." Zhu Zhanji asked her to relax.

Hu Shanxiang was indeed a little sleepy after being asked this question, but since Zhu Zhanji had already said so, she would not be polite.

"If you don't get enough rest now, you won't have energy at night." Zhu Zhanji said in Hu Shanxiang's ear.

Hu Shanxiang's face instantly turned red. This person is really...

Zhu Zhanji stopped teasing her, patted her head and said, "Then I'll go first."

"Well, please go down, Your Highness."

Zhu Zhanji went out and told the palace servants: "Take good care of the queen."

"Yes."

As soon as Zhu Zhanji went out, he was besieged.

"Quick, the groom is here." Someone shouted and everyone immediately looked at him.

"Groom, you can't run away now, everyone come quickly."

"I'm not planning on running, what are you doing?"

"You are the one who said it. Today is your wedding day. It's a good day. Let's all say auspicious words and have a drink. How about that?" someone suggested.

"Of course, but you can't repeat it!" Zhu Zhanji added.

"This...can't be repeated...okay." They also can't play too much.

"Who comes first, who comes first..." A group of people started.

"I'll go first and wish Your Highness a long lasting marriage, a happy marriage, and a son soon..."

"Hey, hey, hey, one per person is enough. You should leave some for the brothers behind you." When someone heard him say so much, he immediately stopped him.

"That's right, you're almost there."

"I have to drink this." Zhu Zhanji said and drank a glass.

Someone else immediately filled it up for him.

"I wish your Highness a happy marriage and a long-lasting marriage."

"Okay." Zhu Zhanji drank another glass.

"I wish your Highness a perfect match and happiness."

........................

After several rounds, there are really no new blessings.

A group of people scratched their heads for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

"Is there anything else? If not, Your Highness will leave." Zhu Zhanji said after looking for a long time and seeing no one speaking.

"Hey, wait a minute, Your Highness. We have other tricks up our sleeves."

"What's new?"

"How about pitching pot?"

"Compared with your level, your Highness..." Everyone knows that Zhu Zhanji is first-rate in horse riding and archery. Compared with him, this is simply...

The group of people thought about it and decided that they really couldn't compete.

"Your Highness, His Majesty and the Royal Concubine asked you to come over?" Before there was any result here, the palace servant came to report.

Naturally, the group of people did not dare to stop him and let Zhu Zhanji go.

"Brothers, I'll be leaving now. See you later."

"Farewell to Your Highness."

"Your Highness, are you okay?" Wu Cheng saw that Zhu Zhanji drank so much just now and was afraid that he was drunk.

"It's okay since I didn't drink much." Zhu Zhanji really didn't feel anything, but he didn't know whether the wine had a strong aftereffect.

Wu Cheng was relieved to see that apart from his slightly red face, there was nothing wrong with him.

"Greetings to Grandfather Emperor and Grandmother Wang." Zhu Zhanji paid their respects to them.

"It seems that you were forced to drink..." Zhu Di looked at his expression, pointed at him and said with a smile.

"That's right. Today is a great day, so everyone should drink a few more cups." Concubine Wang also said with a smile, and turned around and ordered: "Quickly bring the sobering soup to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Yes."

"Agui, please sit down."

"Thank you, Grandpa Emperor." Zhu Zhanji immediately sat down and asked, "I wonder what you want me to do?"

"You are getting married today, what else could happen? I'm just worried that you would get drunk and delay things, so I found an excuse to help you out." Concubine Wang explained to him.

"So that's how it is." Zhu Zhanji understood.

At this time, the palace maid brought some sobering soup.

"Drink some quickly."

Zhu Zhanji picked it up and drank it.

"Okay, it's almost time. You should go and accompany Shanxiang. It's not good to leave the bride alone in the room on the wedding night." Concubine Wang instructed.

"Yes."

"Your Highness." When the palace servant saw Zhu Zhanji coming back, he hurriedly prepared to wake up Hu Shanxiang.

"Has the queen woken up?" Zhu Zhanji asked.

"Not yet. The servants will go and call the queen right away."

"Wait, no need." Zhu Zhanji stopped them and pushed the door open.

Hu Shanxiang vaguely heard some noise outside the door and woke up slowly. Before she got up, she saw a figure beside the bed.

"Your Highness..."

"Why did you wake up?" Zhu Zhanji opened the bed curtains, sat down on the bed and asked.

Hu Shanxiang saw that it was him, and stood up and said, "Your Highness, why didn't you let anyone call me? I lost my composure like this."

"As for you and me, we don't care about these empty formalities."

"How much did your highness drink?" Hu Shanxiang leaned closer and smelled a strong smell of alcohol on him.

"I drank a little too much today. Wait a minute, I'll go change my clothes first."

When Zhu Zhanji was changing his clothes, Hu Shanxiang also stood up.

After a while, the two of them sat down and were about to talk when they suddenly heard their stomachs growling.

Hu Shanxiang lowered her head in embarrassment, feeling a little at a loss.

Zhu Zhanji couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Your Highness..." Hu Shanxiang felt even more embarrassed now. It was so embarrassing.

"Sorry, I just drank and didn't eat anything. I asked them to prepare something."

After a while, the palace servants brought in the food. Since Zhu Zhanji wanted to eat, they couldn't just serve him casually. There were all kinds of snacks, hot soups, midnight snacks and staple foods, filling up the entire table.

The two of them sat on both sides waiting for food to be served. It was the first time that so many people watched her eat. Hu Shanxiang always remembered the rules and didn't like to eat too much. Although she was very hungry, she still ate in small bites.

"Have something hot to eat first, otherwise your stomach won't be able to take it." Zhu Zhanji brought her a bowl of noodle soup. The portion was not much, just half a bowl.

After all, it was night time, and I was afraid of indigestion from eating too much, so I only ate until I was 70% to 80% full and asked someone to take everything away.

After everyone left, Zhu Zhanji pulled Hu Shanxiang towards the bed.

Hu Shanxiang followed closely, thinking to herself, as the saying goes, when one is full of desire, one will think of sex. It is about to start, what should she do if she has no experience?

After a long time, Hu Shanxiang finally made mental preparations.

Then Zhu Zhanji asked her to sit down, and went to the back, as if he wanted to get something.

Then Hu Shanxiang saw Zhu Zhanji take out a box, and it looked familiar to Hu Shanxiang.

Sure enough, Zhu Zhanji took out the thing and said, "I gave this to you before, but you returned it. I'm giving it to you again this time. Please don't return it again, otherwise I will be angry." Zhu Zhanji took out the thing and gave it to her.

"Your Highness..." Hu Shanxiang didn't know how valuable this thing was before, but later she learned his nickname. Now, holding this thing in her hand, it felt like it weighed a thousand pounds. "I will keep it well this time."

"Do what you say." Zhu Zhanji was really afraid that she would return it to her, but now he was relieved to hear her promise.

"Okay, keep this well, and let's put it away."

"Okay." Hu Shanxiang put away her things, and then didn't know what to do next.

As an old hand, Zhu Zhanji naturally taught his wife by his bedside.

On the wedding night, every moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold. The red candles are swaying, and the pear blossoms overshadow the crabapple tree. The red sleeves add fragrance and the tears soak the clothes. The red candles last all night until dawn.

The two of them didn't rest until the late night. Fortunately, Hu Shanxiang took a rest before going out, otherwise she would not have been able to get up the next day.

"Hiss." Hu Shanxiang felt sore all over after she got up.

Zhu Zhanji looked at her frowning brows and ordered the palace maids to massage the empress' waist. Yan Nan and the others understood what was going on.

"You will go to pay your respects to Grandfather Emperor and Grandmother Wang, as well as father and mother. You may have to kneel for a long time. Let them massage you, otherwise you may not be able to hold on." Zhu Zhanji said to her.

Hu Shanxiang thought about it and it made sense. Today was also a long battle, so she didn't feel embarrassed at all. After all, it would be impolite if she felt uncomfortable when paying her respects to the nobles later.

"My lady, please be ready. I will give you a massage."

"it is good."

"Is this strength okay, Madam?"

"can."

Yikun Palace

The concubines were paying their respects to Concubine Wang.

"Oh my. It's such a coincidence that we came here. We finally get to see the Crown Princess today."

This is true. Although Hu Shanxiang had been in the palace before, she had always been in the East Palace and had rarely seen the concubines in the harem.

"Sister, what are you talking about? Let's take a look at what this legendary Crown Prince's Consort looks like today. His Royal Highness has been thinking about her for many years."

"That's enough. They are newlyweds. Don't scare them." Concubine Wang said, and naturally the others didn't dare to say anything.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine." Zhu Zhanji and Hu Shanxiang saluted Imperial Concubine Wang.

Concubine Wang took out the prepared red envelopes and gave them to them.

"Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, noble concubine."

"And call her Imperial Concubine."

"Grandmother Wang." Hu Shanxiang immediately changed her words.

"That's right."

Afterwards, Zhu Zhanji and Hu Shanxiang paid their respects to His Majesty and the Crown Prince and Princess Consort in turn, and the elders gave them many gifts.

"Sure enough, I'm so tired." Hu Shanxiang said while rubbing her knees after returning home.

"Let me see." Zhu Zhanji said as he wanted to see how her knee was.
