Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 825 Wedding Night 2 [Thank you! Bow again! 8k words owed]

"The ceremony is complete! Close the curtains—"

Amidst the joyful shouts of the "Full of Fortune" lady,
Xu Zaijing was pulled by Zheng Xiao and Gu Tingye, and walked outside with the relatives and friends who were attending the ceremony.

In Rong Feiyan's view, the curtain separating the bedroom and the outer room was closed with a smile by the Rong family's maid.

Once only Rong Feiyan and her personal maid Ningxiang were left in the room, Rong Feiyan instantly felt relieved.

"Phew—" Rong Feiyan put down her fan and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Miss, here is the phoenix crown for you."

Before Ningxiang could finish speaking, Rong Feiyan waved her hand and said, "No need!"

As she spoke, Rong Feiyan stood up and began to look at the furnishings in the room.

“Young lady, this room used to be the boudoir of the eldest daughter of the Xu family.”

"Sister Pingmei?"

Ningxiang nodded: "Yes! It's been vacant ever since the eldest daughter of the Xu family got married."

Rong Feiyan's eyes darted around: "So, the sixth young lady of the Sheng family is going to Sister Anmei's courtyard after she enters the house?"

"Yes."

"Hmm." Rong Feiyan said, sitting back down on the bed.

"Miss, I'm back." She said softly, lifting the curtain as she entered.

After entering, Xi Bu glanced at Ning Xiang.

Seeing Xi Bu's expression, Rong Feiyan asked, "What's wrong?"

Ningxiang looked at Xibu with a somewhat blank expression.

She walked up to Rong Feiyan and whispered, "Miss, the maid who came with Ningxiang said that Sister Yunmu, who serves the Princess, came last night."

Upon hearing this, Rong Feiyan looked at Ningxiang.

Ningxiang quickly nodded: "Miss, yes, that's true."

Xi Bu looked at Ning Xiang with a hint of anger and said, "What does Sister Yunmu want with you?"

"I just asked her some questions about incense and what kind of fragrance she likes," Ningxiang replied bluntly.

Xi Bu scolded, "Ningxiang, you have no wit at all! No matter what others ask, you just spill everything like beans from a bamboo tube?"

"Ah." Ningxiang nodded: "From now on, we'll be living in the Prince's mansion. Is there anything we can't talk about?"

Xi Bu looked at Ning Xiang: "You."

Rong Feiyan waved her hand and said, "Alright. Ningxiang has a point."

"Young lady, you should always be wary of others," Xi Bu advised, frowning.

Rong Feiyan laughed and said, "Silly girl, if the Chai family girl really wanted to harm me, why would she ask Ningxiang so directly? Wouldn't that just give people something to talk about?"

After hearing this, Xi Bu pondered for a moment and then nodded.

Ningxiang looked at Xibu, who was nodding, and said, "Sister Xibu, Sister Yunmu told me last night that the Princess took a bath before the wedding night."

After a busy afternoon, Rong Feiyan, who was feeling a bit sweaty, lit up when she heard this.

Shower finished.

After changing into her undergarments, Rong Feiyan felt refreshed.

Rong Feiyan put her phoenix crown back on and sat back on the bed with a happy expression.

About fifteen minutes later,
The noise outside seemed to become a lullaby, and Rong Feiyan, who hadn't slept for more than two hours since last night, couldn't help but yawn.

Seeing that Rong Feiyan was getting sleepy, Xibu walked over with heartache and moved the wedding quilt on the bed next to Rong Feiyan.

“Miss, it’s still early. The young master will probably be here in an hour or two.”

"If you are tired, you can lean back and take a nap."

Feeling her eyelids were incredibly heavy, Rong Feiyan mumbled a confused "hmm."

I don't know how long I slept.

Rong Feiyan suddenly felt someone removing the phoenix crown from her head.

"Hmm! Silly steps, don't move! I'm waiting for my husband to arrive."

Rong Feiyan finished speaking, but her hands continued to remove the phoenix crown.

Rong Feiyan helplessly raised her hand to protect her head: "If you keep doing this..."

"Awake?" came the man's calm and clear voice.

"!!!"

Rong Feiyan instantly regained her senses and immediately sat up straight.

Because she was leaning against the quilt, Rong Feiyan moved faster than ever before.

As she sat up straight, Rong Feiyan suddenly felt something was missing from her hand, so she quickly bent down to look for it by the candlelight.

With a few turns of her head, the ornaments on the phoenix crown made a crisp clinking sound.

"Is this what you're looking for?" Xu Zaijing's voice, tinged with amusement, came through.

Seeing the fan handed to her from the side, Rong Feiyan snatched it and quickly placed it between herself and Xu Zaijing.

While blocking the way, Rong Feiyan also looked to the side.

"Are you looking for Xibu and Ningxiang?" Xu Zaijing asked again.

The bridal chamber was only so big, and Rong Feiyan could tell at a glance that the two maids were not inside.

Feeling the gazes from the side, Rong Feiyan nodded gently.

"The two of them went out."

"Oh."

"Don't blame them. I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't let them wake you up."

"Oh."

Looking at Rong Feiyan, who was bowing her head behind the fan, Xu Zaijing took a deep breath and said softly, "Before we got married, you looked at me so boldly and openly. Why are you afraid to look at me now that we're married?"

Rong Feiyan raised the fan in her hand even higher and said shyly, "I, I, how could I have been presumptuous in looking at you?"

"No?" Xu Zaijing asked with a smile.

"No, no! Before, when I looked at you, I was just looking at you normally," Rong Feiyan said, hiding behind the round fan and staring intently at the exquisite fan handle.

"Alright! I was just being presumptuous." Rong Feiyan's eyes were full of smiles as she listened to Xu Zaijing's feigned disappointment.

Seeing that Xu Zaijing had not gone far from the fan handle, Rong Feiyan could only continue to hold up the round fan.

"Hmm—a few years ago, I think? I went to Yuqing Temple outside the city. A young lady was riding in a carriage, and while I was talking to Rong Erlang, she stared straight at my back."

Xu Zaijing had only said two sentences when Rong Feiyan froze for a moment.

"It's just that the clothes I was wearing that day were made of good material, otherwise, I might have been burned by that girl's gaze."

Listening to Xu Zaijing's words, Rong Feiyan suddenly remembered when it happened.

Rong Feiyan then felt her cheeks burning: at the time, she thought Xu Zaijing didn't know she was looking at him.

"I remember one year during the Lantern Festival, I escorted my sworn brother and his cousins ​​back to the Lu family home. When they returned home..."

“A noble lady was looking out of the second-floor window when I happened to be passing by. It seems I had quite a connection with that lady.”

Xu Zaijing looked at the round fan and continued speaking.

“You two are quite destined for each other,” Rong Feiyan whispered in agreement.

"Hmm, after the holiday, when I went to the breeding farm to explore the spring, there was a noble lady whose cloak was somewhat similar in color to my clothes. It seems that we are destined to meet."

"." Rong Feiyan's eyes darted around from behind the fan.

"By the way, that year when I attended a banquet at the Duke of England's mansion, a noble lady who had drunk fruit wine showed me exceptional concern."

Hearing Xu Zaijing's words, Rong Feiyan's breathing became slightly rapid.

Xu Zaijing could hear Rong Feiyan's breathing clearly, and continued with a smile, "Of course, what I remember most vividly is..."

Rong Feiyan held her breath and listened intently.

Xu Zaijing remained silent, while Rong Feiyan held her breath.

This made Rong Feiyan, who was holding her breath, feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Hey."

Xu Zaijing's laughter rang out.

Rong Feiyan was also clever; upon hearing the laughter, she immediately understood that Xu Zaijing was deliberately causing trouble.

Feeling a bit uncomfortable from holding her breath, Rong Feiyan glared at Xu Zaijing through her fan, embarrassed and annoyed.

"But one day, on the city wall of Yiqiu Gate, I saw a woman lifting her veil beneath the wall."

Upon hearing this, Rong Feiyan, who had her head down, felt as if she had eaten honey, her heart filled with sweetness and comfort.

"Who...who is she?" Rong Feiyan asked knowingly.

Xu Zaijing remained silent.

Just as Rong Feiyan was about to look up.

suddenly,

Rong Feiyan felt her hand holding the fan being covered by another large hand.

Rong Feiyan instantly felt all her strength drain away.

The fan was slowly moved aside, and Rong Feiyan looked up to see Xu Zaijing standing in front of her.

Without knowing where the courage came from, Rong Feiyan's eyes shrank back twice before she stared straight into Xu Zaijing's eyes.

In that brief moment of eye contact, scenes of their meetings over the years replayed in Rong Feiyan's mind. Rong Feiyan suddenly sat up abruptly.

Immediately, Xu Zaijing felt a softness on his lips.

Seeing Xu Zaijing's stunned expression, Rong Feiyan's eyes darted around in panic, and she laughed, her face flushed.

"call--"

The air that Xu Zaijing exhaled from his nostrils was extremely hot.

It's no wonder Xu Zaijing was stunned on the spot; after all the times he had seen Rong Feiyan, this noble lady had always been aloof and unapproachable.

During their several eye contact, Rong Feiyan mostly communicated through her eyes. No matter what Xu Zaijing thought, he never expected that Rong Feiyan would be the one to take the initiative during their wedding night.

Rong Feiyan felt the large hand that was holding her fingers loosen.

Subsequently,

Rong Feiyan felt a tightening around her waist.
Before she could react, Xu Zaijing had already pulled her into his arms.

Xu Zaijing's hot breath drew even closer.

"ah!"

Amid Rong Feiyan's exclamation, she found herself sitting on Xu Zaijing's lap.

"Ta-ta."

After two soft sounds, Rong Feiyan's shoes were stripped off by Xu Zaijing and fell to the ground.

The flames on the wedding candles inside the house grew much larger.

Sensing something, Rong Feiyan said in a trembling voice, "The phoenix crown hasn't been removed yet... um—"

After a while,
She didn't take off her earrings either.

"Um, can you take it off yourself?" Xu Zaijing asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

"can."

As she spoke, Rong Feiyan raised her hands and removed the phoenix crown from her hair, placing it beside the bed.

After moving her slender fingers a few more times, she deftly removed the gold and silver jewelry and earrings that held her hair in place and placed them on the edge of the bed.

Just as Xu Zaijing was about to ask if these things needed to be moved, he saw Rong Feiyan in his arms already moving her delicate fingers, untying the sash on her wedding dress at the waist.

Looking into Rong Feiyan's eyes, Xu Zaijing felt that if he didn't do something, he would be worse than an animal.

He took a deep breath.
Under Rong Feiyan's surprised gaze, Xu Zaijing placed it deep inside the bed.

Before Rong Feiyan could ask a question, Xu Zaijing stretched out his long arm and pulled down the bed curtains on both sides.

The bed curtains were drawn, making the room much darker.

In the light of the wedding candles, the situation on the bed could no longer be seen.

Perhaps because it was hot, her fair, jade-like hand emerged from the curtains, palm up, the back of her hand gently touching the red wedding quilt.

The mattress is made of excellent material, and feels cool and smooth to the touch.

suddenly,

She flipped her delicate hand over so that her palm was facing down.

Fingers as thin as scallion roots gripped the wedding quilt below tightly.

I held it for a long time.

Her slender, white fingers slowly released the wedding quilt.

Soon, her jade-like hand was pulled back into the bed curtains.

I do not know how long it has been.

The hand emerged from the curtains again, this time covered by another large hand.

Two hands, quite different in size and color, with their fingers clasped together.

The smaller, fair hand gripped the larger hand with tremendous force, and the unpainted pink fingernails left deep marks on the back of Xu Zaijing's hand.

The wedding candles burned quietly, gradually shortening in length.

After a while.

"Snapped."

The light inside the room flickered and popped.

The noise was quite clear inside the quiet room.

"oops!!!"

Rong Feiyan's panicked voice came through.

"what happened?"

Xu Zaijing's voice was filled with doubt.

“The bridal veil…the bridal veil was forgotten to be placed underneath,” Rong Feiyan said.

"Pfft." Xu Zaijing laughed and said easily, "It's alright, we can just have someone cut this part off tomorrow."

"Hmm—Brother Xu Wu, don't move around."

Around the 15th of each month,

The jade disc in the sky rises at the exact hour of You (around 6 PM) and disappears at the exact hour of Mao (around 6 AM).

Outside the bridal chamber,
The bright moon is setting in the west.

"Oh oh oh-"

A rooster crowed twice, I don't know whose.

Xi Bu and Ning Xiang, who were standing at the door, both looked up at the night sky.

"Sister Xibu, are the young lady and the young master still not done?" Ningxiang asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Xi Bu glanced worriedly at the candlelit bridal chamber and listened intently for a moment.

Xi Bu, her cheeks flushed, said, "No."

Ningxiang also listened intently, and although she heard some noises, she shook her head in confusion: "Sister, how did you know it wasn't over yet?"

"Don't pry into adults' affairs."

"Oh."

About fifteen minutes later.

Who's outside?

“Young master, Ningxiang and I are both here.”

"I've got the bathtub ready; I'm going to use it."

"Yes."

The bright moon hangs in the west.

The wedding candles were still burning, but only a small portion remained.

Thick, dark hair was scattered on the pillow, and between the strands was a beautiful face. Beneath the bright red wedding quilt, her fair shoulders, stained with red bruises, were also visible.
Xu Zaijing stood barefoot by the bed, and with great willpower, he reached out and pulled the thin blanket over his long, beautiful legs.

Seemingly seeing Xu Zaijing's reflection in the window, Xibu and Ningxiang hurriedly went inside.

Seeing the old and new scratches on Xu Zaijing's bare back, the two maids couldn't help but exchange a glance.

After helping Xu Zaijing get dressed, Xu Zaijing said softly, "You can rest for a while later."

"Yes, uncle."

"Ah."

Xu Zaijing nodded and walked outside.

As Xi Bu and Ning Xiang went to lower the bed curtains, they saw the marks on Rong Feiyan's shoulder as she slept. Xi Bu and Ning Xiang exchanged a tender glance.

It's bright.

"Huh?" Rong Feiyan suddenly opened her eyes on the red pillow.

She blinked, looking at the red bed curtains, and yesterday's events flooded her mind.

After regaining her composure for a moment, Rong Feiyan couldn't help but laugh.

When you want to move your body,
"hiss!"

Rong Feiyan gasped and then frowned deeply.

Feeling the various aches and pains all over her body, Rong Feiyan felt a pang of regret: "I shouldn't have pushed myself to the limit last night."

Looking at her personal maid walking briskly towards her, Rong Feiyan said in a slightly hoarse voice:
"Xibu, help me up."

After lifting the thin blanket,
The details are very clear.

My daughter's waist, hips, and thighs are covered with various red and purple bruises.

Rong Feiyan looked down at herself and sighed, "He really has the heart to do that."

Xi Bu pursed her lips and remained silent, but Ning Xiang couldn't help but say, "Miss, you're no less impressive; you've scratched the young master's back all over."

Rong Feiyan was taken aback.

Xi Bu frowned and said, "Ningxiang, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Rong Feiyan quickly nodded in agreement: "That's right, what nonsense are you talking about! I didn't do anything like that!!"

Xi Bu continued, "It was clearly the princess and the young lady who picked the flowers together, and the young master has both new and old wounds on his back!"

Upon hearing this, Rong Feiyan felt shy and was about to raise her hand to poke Xi Bu a few times, but before she could raise her hand, she felt her arms go limp and lose all strength.
