She had never seen his face before. At the same time that she was looking at him, he was also staring at her. He seemed to be extremely sharp.
The ceremony ended quickly, after which the bride and groom were sent to the bridal chamber. On the other hand, the Princess Consort and An Xiaoning returned to their own residences.
An Xiaoning was looking forward to nighttime.
….
After attending to all the guests in the afternoon, the newlyweds would usually be pranked and teased by the guests on the night of their wedding. However, no one in the palace dared to disturb the night of their consummation. According to the customs and rules of the palace, the veil would only be allowed to be removed in the evening.
To Jin Qingyan’s surprise, the bride had already removed the veil and heavy accessories on her head by herself and was having dinner alone. Although she had already seen him at the palace yesterday, she could not help but tense up at the sight of him, especially since it was their wedding night. She began blus.h.i.+ng as red as a tomato.
“You’re back.”
“I’m supposed to be the one to remove your veil.” Although he had already seen her before too, he still thought that she was worlds apart from his lover.
“Well… I was too bored so I removed it myself. We’ve already gone through the ceremony anyway.” She poured him a gla.s.s of wine and continued, “We’ve yet to exchange nuptial toasts. Here.”
Instead of grabbing the gla.s.s she offered, he walked toward the table and picked up the pot of wine. He then spiked it while using his long sleeve as a s.h.i.+eld, after which he poured her a gla.s.s of wine.
He grabbed the gla.s.s of wine from her and gulped it down in one go with his arm intertwined around hers.
After they drank the wine, Princess Consort Mu said, “Let’s get some rest, then.”
Although he was extremely reluctant, she was still his wife at the end of the day and it would be inappropriate for him to turn her down coldly. Thus, he nodded.
Princess Consort Mu nodded and began unb.u.t.toning her clothes.
He sat on the bed, not planning to undress at all.
The moment he felt a sudden warmth in his lower abdomen, he realized that she had already spiked his drink before he did hers.
Noticing that he was not undressing yet, she reached out in a bid to help him, only to have him grab it. He said in refusal, “I’ll do it on my own.”
She removed her shoes and lay in bed to wait for him.
Seeing how slow he was in his actions, Princess Consort Mu said coquettishly, “Hurry up.”
He glared at her coldly before removing his robe and throwing it onto the ground.
Knock-knock! His bodyguard said, “Your Highness, I have something to report to you.”
He got up and answered the door. “What’s the matter?”
The bodyguard answered softly, “Miss Jin wants to see you.”
“Tell her to go back and wait for me, I’ll be there in a bit.”
“Yes.”
He closed the door and suppressed his anger. At this moment, the woman on the bed had already begun losing her consciousness slowly. She continuously murmured incoherently.
He lowered the curtains of the bed, leaving a barrier between them.
He had merely spiked her drink with a drug that would knock her unconscious, yet she had spiked both of theirs with an aphrodisiac. At this very moment, she had lost control of her body and begun masturbating despite having fallen into a daze.
He picked up the wedding robe on the ground and put it on before leaving again.
His body was burning by the time he saw An Xiaoning.
Before either of them could speak, he was already eager to get a release.
Noticing that something was wrong with him, she asked, “What’s the matter with you?”
“I’ve been drugged with an aphrodisiac.”
He pinned her down onto the bed and began penetrating her without any foreplay.
An Xiaoning frowned in immense pain but still decided to bear with it and allow him to continue.
He only called it quits after climaxing for four times in a row.
Due to the sweltering heat, they were both drenched in sweat as beads of perspiration dripped from her hair.
He carried her to the shower, after which he wiped her dry and lowered her onto the bed. He then said, “I can’t stay here for long. I’ve already been out for some time, I have to go back now. I’ll come and see you again tomorrow.”
“Go ahead,” she agreed with a nod, feeling excruciating pain and soreness in between her legs.
Before she fell asleep, she thought to herself that she would definitely snap out of the dream once she wakes up again.
….
“Princess Consort, His Highness just came out of Hua Jin’s room. He was in there for about three hours. He has now returned to the nuptial chamber, and…”
“Get straight to the point.”
“And, that Princess Consort Mu was extremely loud. I could hear her moaning even from outside the nuptial chamber.”
Princess Consort Tian smashed the teacup onto the ground furiously and sneered, “She must have had an enjoyable time, and so did His Highness. He was served by two of them in one night. Even though I have been married to him for such a long time, he has never once spent the night in my room! That princess of Chi Dan is so tan-skinned. I’m certain she must be rather mediocre-looking.”
“I guessed so too. She definitely isn’t as beautiful as you. Princess Consort, simmer down, I’m sure His Highness will treat all of you equally from now on.”
Princess Consort Tian closed her eyes before opening them again. She said in disgruntlement, “How could he possibly treat us equally? Others may think that he doesn’t want to make Hua Jin his concubine simply because he doesn’t want to give her a proper status. However, from the way I see it, he just doesn’t want to mistreat her by making her succ.u.mb to being just a concubine. Now that he has another lawful wife, where am I supposed to stand in this residence?”
“Well, in my opinion, I don’t think His Highness really consummated his marriage with the new princess consort. He was in Hua Jin’s room for more than two hours. How could he still have had the energy to get intimate with her in the nuptial chamber? There might be something more there than meets the eye.”
Princess Consort Tian glanced at her and said, “My anger got the better of me. You do make a lot of sense, Xiao Liu. Whatever.”
―
An Xiaoning stretched her back before opening her eyes. She was woken up by her urge to relieve nature’s call.
She initially thought that she had already woken up from her dream. To her astonishment, she opened her eyes and discovered that she was still here!
Don’t tell me, I’m going to remain in my dream for several days again like the previous time?
She quickly got dressed and rushed out of the room.
After she was done with her business, she got ready to stand up, during which she heard a few maids whispering amongst themselves outside.
“I heard that the new princess consort was moaning loudly for the whole of last night.”
“Yeah, I heard that too. Seems like His Highness put in a lot of effort last night.”
“Shh, let’s cut it out. We’re going to get into trouble if someone hears us. Let’s hurry up and leave.”
“Yes, yes.”
“…”
An Xiaoning humphed. A ton of bulls.h.i.+t.
He got intimate with me for almost three hours last night. How could he have had the energy to do it with the new princess consort?
After exiting the toilet, she washed up, put on some makeup, and had her meal.
Just as she finished eating, he arrived.
He was radiant and energized, full of vigor and glee.
He looked extremely suave in a silky white s.h.i.+rt.
“I thought you had yet to wake up.”
“I couldn’t sleep anymore after I woke up to go to the toilet. I heard that Princess Consort Mu was moaning loudly last night.”
He grabbed her hand and said, “That was what I wanted to tell you about. She spiked both my drink and hers with an aphrodisiac and decided to m.a.s.t.u.r.b.a.t.e.”
