The abstinent and powerful minister is cold and aloof during the day, but he adores her in his dream

Chapter 316 The Bridal Chamber (Part Two)

The words "May you have a son soon" made Zhiwan's face turn bright red.

She said coquettishly, "Don't talk nonsense." Then she turned around to pick up the wedding fruit on the bed.

Lu Zhan's heart skipped a beat, and he hugged her from behind. "How could I be talking nonsense? Aren't these auspicious fruits meant just that?"

Zhiwan trembled slightly, but ignored him and continued picking up the celebratory fruits.

Lu Zhan didn't say anything more and helped her pick them up.

After a short while, the two finally finished picking up the fruit and put it on a plate.

Their eyes met, and Zhiwan suddenly felt a little hot.

"I...I'm a little thirsty," she said softly, lowering her eyes.

Lu Zhan hummed in agreement and got up to pour her a glass of water.

Zhiwan took the cup and drank it in small sips.

"Are you still thirsty?" Lu Zhan asked after she finished drinking.

Zhiwan shook her head, "I'm not thirsty anymore."

"Alright." Lu Zhan took the cup from her hand, placed it on the table, and then stood by the bed and lowered the bright red curtains.

The moment the curtains were drawn, the light in the bed dimmed, and a subtle feeling seemed to fill the air.

When Zhiwan was pinned down by her cousin again, her previously tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

She and her cousin had already been intimate once.

It's not unfamiliar to me anymore.

When her cousin lowered his head and buried it in her neck, she even reached out and hugged his broad back.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just as she was starting to feel overwhelmed, there was a sudden knock on the door of the new house.

Her dazed state of mind returned instantly, and she blushed as she looked at the man on top of her.

"Cousin... someone is knocking on the door."

Lu Zhan naturally heard it.

His handsome face looked rather unpleasant.

Who is this blind fool who dares to knock on the door at this hour?

He didn't want to pay attention, but the person outside kept knocking on the door persistently.

"Cousin...why don't you go and take a look?" Zhiwan bit her lips, which seemed to bleed, and whispered.

The knocking was so annoying that she couldn't pretend she didn't hear it.

Lu Zhan responded, straightened her clothes, and got out of bed.

He flung open the door angrily, only to find several maids on night watch standing there trembling with fear.

"Who knocked on the door?" Lu Zhan asked in a deep voice, suppressing his anger.

“Yes, he is the eunuch serving Princess Chang Le. I think his name is Eunuch Yuanbao,” a maid replied.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhan understood immediately.

Last time, Princess Chang Le said she would give them a big wedding gift, so Princess Chang Le's big gift was to send someone to knock on his bridal chamber door and disturb his wedding night.
Lu Zhan's brows were frosty as he coldly asked, "Where is he?"

"They ran away," the maid replied timidly, then pointed to the ground by the door and said, "They left these books behind."

Lu Zhan then noticed the books on the ground by the door.

He paused, bent down to pick up the book, and then ordered, "All of you retreat to the courtyard and guard it. Chen Jiu and Jiang Shi are to guard the courtyard gate. Without my order, no one is to be allowed to enter."

"Yes," the maid replied respectfully.

After closing the door again, Lu Zhan returned to the room.

Zhiwan had already sat up, lifted the curtain and asked, "Cousin, who knocked on the door?"

Lu Zhan sat down on the edge of the bed and said calmly, "It's that eunuch Yuanbao."

Zhiwan glanced at him and could hear the gritted teeth in his voice.

Upon hearing that it was a gold ingot, Zhiwan knew that Princess Changle was playing a prank.

Seeing her cousin's angry expression, she paused, leaned her face against his back, and said softly, "Cousin, don't be angry, His Highness meant no harm." Lu Zhan was flipping through the book Yuanbao had sent when he heard this. He paused and turned to look at his delicate and soft-spoken cousin.

His heart softened, and he said, "Cousin, would you like to take a look at these things before speaking up for Princess Chang Le?"

"What?" Zhiwan asked, puzzled.

"Take a look." Lu Zhan gave her a deep look and handed her the book.

Zhiwan reached out and took it.

When she opened the book and saw its contents, her face instantly turned bright red.

She slammed the book shut and said through gritted teeth, "Your Highness has really gone too far."

"Now, do you still think she meant no harm?" Lu Zhan threw down the sketchbook in his hand and pinned his cousin against the bed.

Zhiwan's face was still very red.

So the grand gift Princess Chang Le mentioned was... a erotic painting?

Recalling the explicit scenes she had just witnessed, she felt as if she were on fire.

She clenched her fist and said, "She's so wicked. When she gets married, I'll give her a big gift too."

"Hmm." Lu Zhan lowered his head and pecked her soft red lips, saying absentmindedly, "But there are a few pictures in the picture book that are quite interesting."

"What scene?" Zhiwan asked blankly, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.

Lu Zhan gave her a deep look but didn't say anything.

Soon, Zhiwan understood and experienced it firsthand.

Her long, wet hair clung to her face, her breathing was ragged, but her lips were clenched tightly.

Lu Zhan's slender fingers traced his cousin's bitten, rosy lips. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, his voice low and husky, "Everyone's been sent away, cousin, you don't need to hold back..."

Zhiwan, panting heavily, suddenly opened her mouth and bit his shoulder.

"Well!"

Lu Zhan grunted.

The sudden pain caused him to lose control for a moment.

Zhiwan had intended to make him suffer too, but in the end, she was the one who suffered.

Her cousin didn't let her go until it was almost dawn.

Looking at the girl sleeping soundly in his arms, Lu Zhan lowered his head and kissed her forehead. The two then fell asleep in each other's arms.

The next day.

When Zhiwan woke up, she saw her cousin sitting on the edge of the bed, dressed impeccably and reading a book.

She was bewildered for a while before she remembered that last night was their wedding night, and she was already her cousin's wife.

She couldn't help but move closer and rest her head on her cousin's lap.

When Lu Zhan saw that she was awake, he reached out and touched her hair, asking gently, "Do you want to sleep some more?"

Zhiwan still felt very tired, so she nodded and said, "Mm."

"Then you can sleep a little longer," Lu Zhan said.

Zhiwan closed her eyes as instructed.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly remembered something and woke up completely.

"No, I still need to serve tea to my aunt and uncle." She sat up anxiously and asked, "What time is it now?"

"Still calling her Uncle and Aunt?" Lu Zhan gently flicked her nose and said with a smile, "It's almost noon."

Zhiwan, who was initially a little shy, immediately changed her expression when she heard that it was almost noon. "Why didn't you wake me up?"

"You were sleeping so soundly, I didn't have the heart to wake you. Besides, your parents have always doted on you, so it's no big deal to make them wait a little longer," Lu Zhan said nonchalantly.

Zhiwan dared not take it for granted. After all, she was a new bride, and on her first day, she was to serve tea to her parents-in-law. She couldn't take advantage of their affection and make them wait longer.

She pursed her lips, didn't say anything, but instead lifted the covers and got out of bed.

However, she was in such a hurry that her legs gave way and she almost fell when she got out of bed, but luckily Lu Zhan caught her in time.

Lu Zhan sighed and said, "Even an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws isn't this nervous! Besides, now that the mansion is so big, no one dares to gossip about you, so you don't need to worry."

Some readers have asked if this book is nearing its end. Yes, it's nearing its end! I'll be writing more about the married life of the male and female leads, and then it will officially conclude. Thank you all for your continued support!
