Chapter 262 Bridal Chamber Flowers and Candles
Meng Yu suddenly became playful, her bright eyes sparkling with curiosity and excitement. She thought to herself, she really wanted to see how her step-father and mother would get along.
Today was her father and her mother's wedding night which had been fourteen years late. Since there was no one to make a noise in the bridal chamber, she would go and make some noise to add some fun to this special night.
So she changed into light clothes, avoided the palace servants, and headed towards Fengyi Palace.
In the main room at the back of Fengyi Hall, the vermilion carved doors and windows were tightly closed, isolating the outside world. The room was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, lingering in the air.
The carved bed in the room is covered with brocade quilts and embroidered quilts, with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes vividly displayed. A pair of red candles are burning, with the jumping flames illuminating the surroundings, and the light and shadows are swaying. Red silk decorates the beams and walls, creating a festive and warm atmosphere.
The moonlight is like water, casting a silver glow on the ground through the carved window lattices, interweaving with the swaying light of the red candles in the house, like a dream.
Inside the house, all the palace people left.
Jing Yunzhang lifted the veil. Under the red candle, Zhao Susu's face was as red as a peach, her eyes were lowered, and she looked shy and nervous.
This tension seems to be contagious.
Jing Yunzhang actually seemed a little at a loss in this atmosphere.
His usual calmness and courage seemed to disappear at this moment, and he seemed as uneasy as a young boy.
One of them sat on the bed and the other stood on the side.
Meng Yu listened outside and found that no one was making a fuss in the bridal chamber. However, it was too quiet. Although my parents had known each other for a long time, they were not very familiar with each other. Would they still be embarrassed?
She rolled her eyes, smiled mischievously, and gently pushed open the door with a creaky sound.
Inside the house, Jing Yunzhang and Zhao Susu were startled by the sudden noise.
Jing Yunzhang was the first to react. He frowned slightly, but when he saw it was Meng Yu, that displeasure instantly turned into helplessness.
He coughed lightly and said, "Ayu, what are you doing?"
There was a bit of majesty and a little bit of doting in his voice.
Zhao Susu's cheeks turned even redder, and she hurriedly tidied up her clothes which were not messy at all. This woman who was decisive and shrewd in the business world now had only shyness and embarrassment on her face.
Meng Yu walked in with a smile and said, "Dad, Mom, I came to see you! I heard that on the wedding night, people have to make trouble in the bridal chamber. But no one in your bridal chamber would dare to make trouble, so I'll come and make some!"
As she spoke, she winked mischievously.
Jing Yunzhang shook his head helplessly, but couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. The look in his eyes when he looked at Meng Yu was full of pride.
This outstanding child is his biological daughter!
Meng Yu rummaged in his arms and found a long tube in his hand. He pressed it towards them. With a bang, a large bunch of colorful paper pieces scattered in the air like gorgeous fireworks and fluttered down.
This is what she asked Little Loach for.
The little loach has traveled through countless places and always comes up with many things that have never been seen before.
This firework tube, Xiao Niu also has it. So I have to get it. Who else can create an atmosphere?
Jing Yunzhang and Zhao Susu were both caught off guard by this sudden scene. Zhao Susu was startled at first, and then couldn't help laughing. The colored pieces of paper fell on their hair and shoulders, making the already tense and shy atmosphere even more lively and interesting.
Meng Yu said jokingly: "With fireworks beside me, I am full of joy; with fireworks in my hand, it will last forever; with fireworks flying, my love is entangled; with fireworks soaring into the sky, my love is obvious; with fireworks fragrant, my family is full of children and grandchildren! Dad, Mom, please give me a brother or sister as soon as possible!"
Zhao Susu's face suddenly turned red.
Jing Yunzhang also laughed, and that laughter was hearty and warm, as if it could dispel all the haze.
Meng Yulian set off nine tubes of gift flowers. Red candles flickered and colorful paper pieces slowly fell from the sky. The ground looked like a sea of flowers. The whole scene was like a dream.
Meng Yu took out a small wine pot with a smile and said, "Dad, Mom, I prepared the wedding wine for you!"
The wine jug looked only the size of a palm, and I had no idea how much wine it could hold.
However, the wine glass for the wedding wine is not big.
Putting the wine pot on the table, Meng Yu said with a smile: "I won't disturb Dad and Mom's wedding night. I want a brother and sister, you guys, come on!"
Having said that, he smiled and left, closing the door for them.
Jing Yunzhang shook his head helplessly, but couldn't suppress his smile: "This kid! Really..."
After Meng Yu's commotion, the awkwardness between the two seemed to have lessened a little, but it also seemed to have increased.
Especially Zhao Susu, who seemed even more embarrassed. The last sentence of that child was really... embarrassing just thinking about it!
Jing Yunzhang reached out and gently brushed away the colored paper on Zhao Susu's hair. Then, he picked up the small wine pot that Meng Yu had put down and poured two glasses of wine. There were exactly two glasses in the pot, not a drop more or less.
He handed Zhao Susu a cup: "Mingzhu, it's time to drink the wedding wine!"
Zhao Susu was a little nervous. She originally didn't want to get married in her life, but who would have thought that at the age of 29, she would get married, and marry the most precious man in the entire Shang Dynasty.
Even though the years have left some traces on her face, she has never experienced marriage. At this moment, she seems to be in a beautiful dream.
Her slender fingers gently grasped the wine glass, her hand trembling slightly, revealing the nervousness in her heart.
She raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her.
Although his handsome face is no longer young, it has the depth and calmness of the years. Under his sword-like eyebrows, his eyes are as deep as the abyss, as if hiding the stars and the sea.
His thin lips were slightly pursed, with graceful lines. Although he looked a bit cold, he also revealed a touch of tenderness that was not easily noticed. His skin was slightly rough, which was a mark of having experienced wind and rain, but it added a bit of charm of a mature man, as if the years had specially carved out a unique charm for him.
Looking at the corners of his mouth raised, her face felt a little hot.
The two of them held hands and drank the wedding wine.
Jing Yunzhang took the empty cup from her hand with one hand and put it back on the table, and with the other hand, he put his arm around her slender waist.
Zhao Susu's face felt like it was burning, her body trembled slightly, but she resisted the urge to push him away.
They have worshipped heaven and earth and paid homage to the Taimiao. They have become a real couple, so it is normal for them to have some intimate actions.
But Zhao Susu felt that she had never been so nervous in the ceremonies she had attended before, even though they were complicated and the etiquette was strict.
When facing Jing Yunzhang alone, he was a hundred times more nervous.
Her heart was beating wildly in her chest, as if it was about to burst through her chest, and her breathing became rapid.
Jing Yunzhang also felt her nervousness, and his face turned red. However, his face was tanned due to years of fighting outside, and in the dim candlelight, the blush was not visible at all.
His voice was trembling with nervousness, and he said in a slightly hoarse voice with a hint of barely perceptible uneasiness: "Mingzhu, don't be afraid..."
