Ming Dynasty: The Crocodile King of Han Prince Zhu Gaoxu's Family

Chapter 204 The night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber

The master of ceremonies addressed the couple's mutual bowing once more.

Zhu Zhanhe still held his wife's hand, helping her to stand still, before letting go of her hand and standing still himself. The two then bowed to each other face to face.

"The ceremony is complete! Please, Your Highness, present the jade." The master of ceremonies shouted loudly that the ceremony was complete. The master of ceremonies meant that the ceremony was complete now; Xia Yunxin was now Zhu Zhanhe's wife.

But in reality, Zhu Zhanhe also wanted to give Xia Yunxin a jade ruyi to signify her status as the Crown Prince's principal wife.

Then, a young eunuch came over carrying a plate with a jade ruyi (a type of scepter) on it.

Zhu Zhanhe gently picked up the jade ruyi, walked to Xia Yunxin, looked at his wife who was kneeling on the ground, gently took her hand, and placed the jade ruyi in her hand.

"I've kept my promise to you," Zhu Zhanhe said softly, holding Xia Yunxin's hand with deep affection.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Xia Yunxin raised her head slightly, only to see Zhu Zhanhe's burning gaze. Even through her glasses, she could feel the intense heat that seemed to melt her! Therefore, she didn't dare to look into Zhu Zhanhe's fiery eyes. With just a slight glance, she quickly lowered her head.

However, Xia Yunxin's flushed face only fueled Zhu Zhanhe's passion.

In reality, the so-called royal wedding ceremony doesn't end so simply, because it involves a series of procedures such as worshipping at the Imperial Ancestral Temple and registering the wedding in the family genealogy.

Finally, Zhu Zhanhe thanked each of the ministers for their arrival. Although they might not have been willing, Zhu Zhanhe still toasted each of them. This whole process kept him busy all day!

At night, Zhu Zhanhe slowly pushed open the door with the big red double happiness character pasted on it, and with a turn, he entered the bedroom inside.

What came into view was a beautiful figure covered by a large red veil.

"Young master, it's time to choose a lucky charm." Seeing Zhu Zhanhe enter, Xiao Zhi, dressed in green, stood by the bed and handed him a wooden ruyi. Zhu Zhanhe looked up and saw that it was his own wooden ruyi.

Looking at Xiao Zhi's equally flushed face, Zhu Zhanhe took advantage of the moment of joy to carefully examine the girl in front of him. He had to admit that he was truly blessed in the future; this little girl was at least an 85 out of 100.

Then, under Xiao Zhi's shy gaze, Zhu Zhanhe took the wooden ruyi and gently lifted the red veil.

Suddenly, a beautiful, rosy face, full of collagen, appeared before him, and Zhu Zhanhe wanted nothing more than to take a big bite of her alluring red lips.

"Young master, let's drink the nuptial wine." Zhu Zhanhe's idea had just begun when it was interrupted by Xiao Zhi.

"Okay." Zhu Zhanhe agreed verbally, but he immediately pulled Xia Yunxin up by her clothes. Under Xia Yunxin's panicked gaze, Zhu Zhanhe directly put his arm around her slender yet voluptuous waist.

"Ah~" Xia Yunxin gasped softly in surprise when she was suddenly hugged, and then quickly covered her mouth to keep herself from making a sound.

Xiao Zhi, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded. She had never seen such a scene before. Even when her son-in-law secretly met with his mistress, it was just a simple matter of holding hands and kissing ears. There was never such a shameful scene of people being so close together.

"Come on, let's drink the nuptial wine." Zhu Zhanhe suppressed his excitement, reached out from the plate Xiao Zhi was carrying, picked up a glass of wine and placed it in Xia Yunxin's hand, which was shyly pressed against her chest. Zhu Zhanhe then took a glass of wine for himself.

Xia Yunxin was at a loss, and with a shy expression, she intertwined her arms with Zhu Zhanhe's arms, slowly bringing the wine to her lips.

But clearly, Zhu Zhanhe wouldn't let her off so easily.

Zhu Zhanhe brought the wine to his own mouth and, before Xia Yunxin could react, covered her mouth with his own. Their wines then thoroughly mixed. Only after Zhu Zhanhe had eaten all the rouge from Xia Yunxin's lips did he release his wife, who was now limp and powerless in his arms.

"Xiao Zhi, your young lady hasn't eaten properly all day. I've had some food prepared. Go and have them bring it in." Zhu Zhanhe casually instructed Xiao Zhi, who was standing awkwardly to the side, looking embarrassed and unsure of what to do.

"Ah? Yes!" Xiao Zhi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then felt as if she had been granted a pardon. She hurriedly and shyly left.

"Sir, someone will be bringing the food soon. Let's have some together." Zhu Zhanhe reluctantly let go of the lovely girl in his arms, took her little hand, and led her to sit down at the table.

"You're bullying me~" Sitting in the chair, Xia Yunxin felt her body go weak. It took her a moment to recover from the moment she felt weak. At this moment, she felt her face flush with embarrassment. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Zhu Zhanhe. She just complained shyly with her head down.

"My dear, I haven't been bullying you. It's only when we're resting at night that I'll properly tease you." Zhu Zhanhe noticed his wife's nervous and shy appearance, and felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He couldn't help but gently squeeze the jade hand he was holding.

"You bad guy~!" Hearing this, Xia Yunxin became even more shy. Recently, the nanny in the family had lectured her several times about the wedding night, so how could she not know what was about to happen?

Hearing Xia Yunxin's almost flirtatious words, Zhu Zhanhe couldn't help but swallow hard. Before he could make his next move, a sound came from the doorway.

"Young master, young lady, the two younger sisters have brought food." Zhu Zhanhe, who was about to reach out again, was interrupted by Xiao Zhi's voice.

"Come in." Zhu Zhanhe could only reluctantly withdraw his hand and let the girl in. However, Zhu Zhanhe had some complaints about Xiao Zhi's lack of tact and decided that he would definitely discipline her properly in the future!

"Young Master, Young Master's Wife, you've had a busy day, please have something to eat." Yun'er and Jian'er, two little maids, entered the room, each carrying a food box. They quickly placed various dishes and some wine on the table.

"My two younger sisters have worked hard. You may leave now. Remember to come and serve tea tomorrow." Although Xia Yunxin was thoroughly bullied by the scoundrel Zhu Zhanhe and her face was flushed with embarrassment, she still maintained the demeanor of a mistress when facing the two little maids, Yun'er and Jian'er. She gently raised her head and spoke softly. Her demeanor was nothing like that of someone who had been bullied by Zhu Zhanhe and had no temper.

"Thank you, Princess Consort. Thank you, Prince." Yun'er and Jian'er weren't stupid; they immediately understood what the Princess Consort meant.

Xia Yunxin's words made it clear that, as the Crown Prince's wife, she had accepted Yun'er and Jian'er as Zhu Zhanhe's concubines!
It seems that the young wife in front of him is not a naive and innocent girl; at least she understands him quite well! Zhu Zhanhe quietly watched everything before him, drinking his wine on his own, while Xiao Zhi, with great perceptiveness, poured more wine for him.

Xiao Zhi knew very well that she was the Crown Princess's person, and she had to follow the Crown Princess's words in everything and protect the Crown Princess's interests! Just like now, she had to help the Crown Princess win over His Highness the Crown Prince's heart!

"Go down!" Xia Yunxin glanced at the two little girls kneeling and kowtowing, then waved her hand to dismiss them.

"Guan'er, are you hungry? Come and eat something." Seeing Yun'er and Jian'er go down, Zhu Zhanhe once again unceremoniously took his wife's hand in his own and gently rubbed it.

"Mmm." When facing Zhu Zhanhe, Xia Yunxin once again revealed her feminine side, picked up her bowl and chopsticks, and began to eat in small bites. Xiao Zhi was busy pouring wine and serving food to her young mistress.

"Sir, we need to get down to business!" After a hearty meal and drinks, Zhu Zhanhe could no longer contain his anger. He pulled his wife into his arms, covered her mouth with his own, and drew the bed curtains.

"Please have mercy, my lord!" In an instant, with Xia Yunxin's words, Zhu Zhanhe transformed into a wild beast once more...

Until midnight, a flawless white arm was revealed on the large bed, and Xia Yunxin begged for mercy in despair.

"Master, I can't take it anymore, let Xiaozhi serve you instead." Xia Yunxin was trembling, her panting voice filled with the afterglow of pleasure as she begged for mercy.

"That won't do. Today is our big day. Xiaozhi's affairs will come later. Let me teach you another trick..." Zhu Zhanhe pulled his wife's arm, which was sticking out from under the bed, back down, and spoke again with a wicked and seductive tone...
