Chapter 1259: The Country and the People
As the two of them waited, Cheng Youning said slowly, "I thought it was something amorous, but it turns out it's just holding hands while sleeping. Actually, from this point of view, this wedding night is also very ordinary, not interesting at all."
Cheng Youning is young, but Qiao Rong is not young. He knows much more than Cheng Youning. Hearing what Cheng Youning said, he grinned in surprise and looked confused.
The old housekeeper grabbed Cheng Youning's hand, unconsciously increasing the strength a little bit, "You said they were sleeping hand in hand?"
Cheng Youning nodded and said, "It looks like he has been sleeping for quite a while!"
The old housekeeper let go of Cheng Youning and said angrily, "This is a waste of a night of love. I'll go and take a look."
Before Cheng Youning came, the old butler had been wandering here for a long time. He had long wanted to go to the door of Wan Lianxing to listen to the sound, but now it seemed that he had to go and take a look.
The old butler was a man of his word. He put his hands behind his back and walked into the hall in a straightforward manner.
Cheng Youning stared at the main hall and asked Qiao Rong thoughtfully, "Guess if there will be anything exciting to see later!"
"That definitely won't happen. Let's go back, Master." Qiao Rong stretched out his hand and pulled Cheng Youning back. Cheng Youning didn't give up and kept looking back to see if anything else could happen.
The old housekeeper was also a weirdo. At his age, he still missed Wan Lianxing's sex life! He was seen crouching at the door of Wan Lianxing and listening for a long time. The more he listened, the gloomier his face became. Finally, his originally drooping eyebrows were twisted together. Because there was no sound in the room, he couldn't help but coughed hard a few times at the door.
Just as Cheng Youning said, Wan Lianxing had been asleep for a while, and the old housekeeper's voice successfully attracted him. He put one hand on his forehead and said dazedly: "Why is the old housekeeper coughing? Is he sick? If he is sick, he must see the imperial physician immediately."
Zhong Siyu did not fall asleep as quickly as Wan Lianxing. She was still awake. She turned her head to look at Wan Lianxing and said, "Your Majesty, the old housekeeper has been working hard for our marriage. I think he must be exhausted!"
At this time, the old housekeeper's coughing sound came from outside the door, as if he was going to cough out his internal organs. Wan Lianxing could not lie still any longer. He opened his eyes and said, "I'll go and see! At his age, he can't stand any disturbance!"
Zhong Siyu patted Wan Lianxing's arm and said, "Your Majesty has drunk so much wine that you are still dizzy. Please lie down. I will go and take a look."
Zhong Siyu got up from the bed and walked to the door. Seeing that it was Zhong Siyu who came out, the old housekeeper immediately bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Queen!"
"Old housekeeper, there's no need to be so polite!"
"Has the Emperor gone to bed?"
"The emperor was in high spirits today and drank a few more cups. He is feeling a little dizzy now and has fallen asleep. I just heard the old butler coughing outside the door. The emperor was worried and wanted to come out to check on him. I saw that he was not feeling well, so I did not let him get up!"
As everyone knows, Wan Lianxing did drink a lot of wine today, but it is also well-known that he has an amazing alcohol tolerance.
"Drunk?" The old fox, the butler, didn't believe it. As far as he could remember, Wan Lianxing had never been drunk before. He thought that Wan Lianxing must be pretending to be drunk.
"He's still conscious, but he's also a little too much!" Zhong Siyu reported truthfully without hiding anything, because this old butler was in charge of the emperor and the servants, and there was nothing this old man couldn't take care of.
"Why didn't you ask the doctor to get some hangover medicine for the emperor?" The old housekeeper thought to himself that this would waste too much time. Whether he was really drunk or pretending to be drunk, he couldn't get drunk at this time.
"I just rubbed the emperor's head, so he should be fine. But you, old housekeeper, are coughing so badly, have you seen the imperial physician?"
"This old servant is just suffering from an old illness. It's nothing serious. Your Majesty, it's getting late. You should go back and rest."
After sending Zhong Siyu back into the house, the old housekeeper left with his hands behind his back, feeling unwilling.
Wan Lianxing asked Zhong Siyu: "Is the old housekeeper okay?"
"He said it was an old illness and it's not a big deal. I saw that he looked ruddy and spoke with a lot of strength. It should be an old illness as the old housekeeper said, but it's not a big problem!"
Wan Lianxing smiled when he heard this. How could he not know whether this old man had a cough? He had just worried for nothing, thinking that the old man was ill. It turned out that he was here to listen to the sound.
Wan Lianxing thought to himself, this old man is really worrying. Even if he lets him go now, he will definitely come to him tomorrow to hold him accountable.
Wan Lianxing got up at 3 pm and went to court at 5 pm. He worked hard to govern the country! If the butler didn't know him well, he would be confused by his diligence in government affairs.
"Your Majesty, I heard you drank too much last night!"
"I drank a little too much. My head still hurts now!" After the court session, Wan Lianxing sat there with his head down, reviewing memorials. The old butler walked around in front of him three times, but he didn't even raise his head.
"How could this old slave not know that you can drink too much!"
"I am a human, not a god. How can I not get drunk after drinking so much?"
"Even if you were going to drink too much, why did you drink too much last night? On such an important day, Your Majesty, why did you drink too much?"
Facing the old housekeeper's questioning, Wan Lianxing replied calmly: "You are unreasonable, old man. Do you think I have to wait for the day to decide whether I have drunk too much? Moreover, yesterday was my big day, and all the civil and military officials came to toast me. How could I offend anyone? All the subjects who can serve me are wise and capable. I was happy for a while and drank a little more, so what!"
"What else? You've delayed something important. You've left the Queen alone in her empty room!"
"You old man, the more you talk, the more outrageous it is. I slept with the queen last night, so I was not alone in an empty room."
"Humph, you also admit that you didn't consummate your marriage last night!"
"I have never denied it. I was dizzy last night and my eyes were full of stars. How can I consummate my marriage?"
Wan Lianxing's words were justified, but the old housekeeper was not satisfied. He took the memorial from Wan Lianxing's hand and put it aside, "Your Majesty, please don't read these memorials. Go back to the palace and consummate the marriage!"
"Now?"
"Yes, right now!"
"In broad daylight, why don't you teach me a lesson, old man? You threw so many memorials here, and you asked me to be arrogant and extravagant, and to indulge in the harem! The emperor guards the national gate, and the king dies for the country. As the monarch of a country, I sit on the high hall and should be a role model for all the people. How can I covet beauty and pleasure!" Wan Lianxing spoke passionately and righteously, but the old butler didn't buy it.
"Your Majesty's country is only one day away?"
