Chapter 1713 She's so angry!
Granny Qing was truly furious.
This is disrespectful and unloving towards the princess, and it's a disgrace to her!
If word gets out, people outside will probably laugh at the princess and pity her!
"Granny, the Prince and Princess may have their own ideas, please don't be angry," Qingbao advised.
Qingyin quickly added, "Yes, Granny, you've had a long day too, you should go and rest."
The two maids, half-persuading and half-coaxing, pulled Granny Qing away.
But after walking a short distance, Granny Qing stopped again.
"its not right."
"Granny, what's wrong?" Qingyin and Qingbao asked quickly.
"What's so tiring about His Highness today? He was just drinking with the guests, and he didn't even drink that much!"
Granny Qing recalled the events of the day and said, "Today, His Highness the Crown Prince, Young Master Yin, and oh yes, the Princess Consort's younger brother, Young Master An Fan, all helped the Prince fend off a lot of drinking. The Prince didn't seem tired at all, so how... how did he..."
Are you so tired that you can't consummate your marriage tonight?
"Could it be that His Highness... is not able to do it?"
Granny Qing's expression changed.
If that's the case, it's a very serious problem!
Qingyin and Qingbao exchanged a glance, both feeling a little embarrassed, but how could they possibly know such a thing?
Qingyin had some guesses, but she didn't want to tell Granny Qing.
Perhaps the prince felt the time was not yet right.
But Granny Qing would definitely press on, asking when the time would be right? Today is the wedding day, tonight is the wedding night, isn't this the right time? When will the time be right?
"Your Highness used to be in poor health. I heard that during those years away from home, you searched all over the country for famous doctors. After returning to the capital, you saw the Imperial Physician Fu every day. Could it be that your illness was cured, but your body was weakened?"
Qingyin and Qingbao felt a little sorry for the prince as they listened to Granny Qing's wild guesses.
"I heard that Doctor Fu will be coming tomorrow. I'll ask him about it then."
Granny Qing looked very solemn.
He then immediately and earnestly instructed the two maids, "You two must not make a fuss about this."
"Yes."
What could Qingyin and Qingbao say? Of course, they could only agree.
"However, if the prince doesn't ask for water tonight, the people in the manor will probably find out to some extent. So, you two will work hard all night and call Qinglin and Qingfeng over. You two will guard the courtyard and have Qinglin and Qingfeng fetch water once in the middle of the night."
puff.
Upon hearing this arrangement, Qinglin burst out laughing.
Qingfeng's lips twitched as well.
"His Highness instructed that we are not required to keep watch tonight," Qingfeng said.
"That......"
"The prince ordered us to stand guard outside the courtyard." Aoki appeared out of nowhere.
Qinglin glanced around and saw the heads of green pines, cypresses, and elms emerging one after another in the distance.
He suddenly felt a little uneasy.
"No, the prince ordered the four of you to keep watch all night? Why?"
Tonight is important.
Why would the prince send these four young men to guard the place at a time like this?
After the four young girls were given names by the princess, they were considered to be following her. At that time, the prince was not yet married, and although they were engaged, they were not yet considered a complete family.
Therefore, the four of them, including Aoki, were essentially following Lu Zhaoling.
In general, the Prince's residence is not as "close" as theirs.
But at such a crucial moment, the prince actually ordered Aoki and the other three to keep watch, while he and Qingfeng went to rest?
Is this right?
"Qinglin, really? You're not jealous, are you?" Qingyu chuckled on the other end.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qingmu said in a deep voice, then looked at Qinglin and Qingfeng, "The prince and princess are husband and wife, they are family. How have we ever been outsiders?"
"Besides, His Highness knows that you have been working hard these past few days and are exhausted. Now that we are returning to the Prince's residence, you can rest in peace."
"Yeah, Qinglin, you wouldn't be ungrateful to the Prince, and you're even starting to resent him, would you?" Qingyu asked rhetorically from the side.
As soon as Qinglin said those words, he felt a little regretful. He had just spoken impulsively and hadn't really thought much about it.
Hearing Qingmu's words, he felt a little embarrassed. He was thinking of something to say to save face when he heard Qingyu making fun of him. He immediately widened his eyes and said, "Don't wrong me. That's not true. I never thought of that. Let's go. Qingfeng, let's go back and rest. We'll leave this to Qingmu and the others."
"I'm really tired today. Oh dear, my eyelids are almost closing. Your Highness is so considerate of us. Come on, come on, we can sleep in tomorrow." With that, he hooked his arm around Qingfeng's shoulder and quickly left.
Aoki said to Aoto and Aoto, "The Princess Consort also instructed that you two can go and rest tonight."
Qingyin and Qingbao nodded immediately after hearing this and said, "We'll go down now, and we'll leave this to you."
Although Granny Qing had given instructions, they all felt it was unnecessary and would definitely listen to the prince and princess.
After they all left, Aoki made a gesture, and he and the other three concealed themselves, quietly keeping watch in the darkness.
The princess had actually said that she had set up a talisman array here a few days ago, which had been kept in place until now. She had just loosened the wooden part of the wood, and the talisman array would only take effect at midnight.
Therefore, after midnight, they could half-stay and half-rest, without having to be so focused.
If something really powerful were to crash into them, it would make quite a commotion and definitely wake them up.
If not, they can rest assured.
Zhou Shiyue, who had just entered the room, had no idea that because he wasn't planning to consummate the marriage today, Qing Mama had overthought things and was now suspecting that he was completely impotent. She even planned to ask Doctor Fu tomorrow to prescribe some medicine for him.
He didn't know why the young men had said those things just now, because of his qualification to keep watch. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, quietly watching the sleeping Lu Zhaoling.
Lu Zhaoling was probably exhausted from last night, and she hadn't had much sleep in the past two days, so she was indeed feeling sleepy.
For the first half of the month, she had been eating and sleeping like a couch potato, which made her develop a habit of needing to sleep more every day. So these past two days, she fell asleep as soon as she didn't get enough sleep. She had originally planned to wait for Zhou Shiyue to come back.
Because the wedding quilt was a deep, bright red, and the surrounding area was also red, even the candlelight shone with a reddish glow because it was covered by a thin red gauze lampshade.
Although Lu Zhaoling changed into a lighter outfit, it was naturally newly made and also red.
Everything was crimson, making her face appear even whiter and more like jade. Seeing her sleeping amidst this crimson glow, she resembled a sleeping beauty sculpted from the finest white jade. Zhou Shiyue was completely mesmerized.
