After the emperor finished discussing matters with the two ministers from the Ministry of Personnel, they finally remembered to have breakfast.

The eunuch Gu Guangliang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin said that you are busy today, so he will not bring the Princess of Qin to the palace to pay respects. She will come in two days."

"Nonsense!" Emperor Jianxing slammed the table. "Does he ignore the girl? Does he not want to bring her out with him?"

Gu Guangliang smiled and said, "That's not the case... People in the Prince of Qin's mansion said that the Prince of Qin went to the Princess' room last night and didn't come out all night. This morning, the Prince of Qin said that the Princess was not feeling well and asked the maids to take good care of her."

Emperor Jianxing was surprised: "The marriage was consummated? Is the Prince of Qin healthy?"

"It's absolutely true!" Gu Guangliang lowered his voice and said, "The Qin Palace even invited a royal doctor to take the princess' pulse. Our prince is not only healthy, but also very strong!"

Emperor Jianxing has been worried about this for many years.

Ever since Xiao Chengji was born, Queen Mother Zheng has disliked him in every way.

Emperor Jianxing was really worried that Xiao Chengji would die early like the eldest prince, so he paid more attention to him.

But Empress Dowager Zheng really could not tolerate Xiao Chengji. When Xiao Chengji was only fourteen years old, Empress Dowager Zheng plotted to send him to the battlefield.

After returning, Xiao Chengji was named King of Qin, and his temperament changed drastically.

Emperor Jianxing saw that he was old, and according to the palace rules, he wanted the palace maids to teach him things, but he drove them out.

Later, he refused to touch any of the women given to him by others.

Afterwards, rumors spread within the palace walls that Xiao Chengji was seriously injured on the battlefield and might have been injured in a vital part of his body, and would not be able to survive for the rest of his life.

When Emperor Jianxing heard these rumors, he was furious and killed hundreds of people overnight to shut up these people.

Later, Emperor Jianxing asked the imperial physician to check on Xiao Chengji, but Xiao Chengji had a violent temper and the imperial physician could not get close to him at all.

From then on, Xiao Chengji's physical condition became a concern for Emperor Jianxing.

If Xiao Chengji really consummated his marriage with the princess, Emperor Jianxing would be able to put his mind at ease.

He still didn't quite believe it, and asked again: "Could it be that the King of Qin deliberately created a false impression to deceive people? He——"

Gu Guangliang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry! The imperial physician has checked your pulse. Besides, do you think our Prince Qin is a person who likes to lie? Under normal circumstances, if he doesn't like it, he won't even look at it and won't give anyone face."

"That's true."

As pleasant things happened one after another, Emperor Jianxing's appetite improved a little.

He gave the order: "The King of Qin is ignorant of the seriousness of the situation, and the Queen of Qin is weak. Let them come to the palace to pay their respects in two days. Don't worry about this empty formality. Speaking of which, the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo is really blessed. Send the tribute blood swallows to her."

In Empress Dowager Zheng's Shoukang Palace, Queen Zheng had a gloomy face and looked unhappy.

Wei Ruxuan, who was below, was wearing a bright dress and had her hair combed neatly. She looked like the peach buds on a peach tree in March, so bright that one could not take their eyes away.

She got up before dawn, and her face looks clean now, but in fact she spent a lot of effort on makeup, from her hair to makeup to clothes, every single thing took a lot of effort.

Wei Ruxuan wanted to outdo the Princess of Qin and give that sickly girl a warning, so naturally she had to do everything she could.

The results of it?

Princess Qin, she——pressed! Not! At all! Come!

What a hell!

Empress Zheng couldn't stand this, so she exaggerated in front of Empress Dowager Zheng: "It's fine that the King of Qin doesn't have the manners to come and pay respects on weekdays, but he has no manners after marrying a princess! Today, the two of them should have come to pay respects to the Queen Mother and your son, but in the end, neither of them came. Fortunately, our Shan'er didn't marry her. If Shan'er had married her, would the Fifth Prince's mansion still be peaceful?"

Queen Dowager Zheng sent people to the Prince of Qin's mansion to inquire about the news early in the morning. She had planted several spies in the Prince of Qin's mansion, but the Prince of Qin was too vigilant, and the people ambushed by Queen Dowager Zheng were never able to get in.

Soon a palace maid came in from outside and whispered a few words into Queen Mother Zheng's ear.

Queen Mother Zheng's face was gloomy: "Is it true?"

The maid nodded: "It is absolutely true. I finally found out about it. The imperial physician has also gone in."

Queen Mother Zheng has always believed that the King of Qin had some hidden illness.

I didn't expect that the King of Qin was like a virgin and saved his first time for his wedding night!

A man like the King of Qin could keep his body, but the one sitting below got involved with her fiancé's younger brother before they even got married!

The Queen Mother Zheng became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it. She was so disgusted that she couldn't speak for a long time. She took a sip of tea to calm her nerves.

Queen Zheng quickly apologized with a smile: "Mother, what's wrong?"

"The King of Qin and his wife consummated their marriage last night. The wife is not feeling well, so she will come to pay her respects another day." Queen Mother Zheng had a gloomy face, "Let's all go."

Queen Zheng was stunned: "He doesn't have any hidden illness?"

"I'm fine!" Queen Mother Zheng said impatiently, "Keep an eye on the Fifth Prince and don't let him cause any more embarrassing incidents!"

Queen Zheng quickly stood up and said, "Yes, you are right. I will take my leave now."

Wei Ruxuan couldn't believe her ears. Her mind was filled with the words "marriage consummation". She walked out dizzily, holding on to Queen Zheng's arm. It was not until she saw the sun outside that she slowly reacted.

Consummation of marriage? Consummation of marriage?

How is this possible?

Wei Ruxuan remembered that in the dream, the King of Qin was too lazy to pay attention to her, let alone touch her!

Could it be that the girl from the Wen family is a vixen?

She was dressed brightly today, but Empress Zheng hated women dressing up to win favor the most. She looked Wei Ruxuan up and down and said, "Don't wear such eye-catching clothes in the future."

Wei Ruxuan quickly agreed: "Yes."

In the palace of King Qin.

Xiao Chengji came back once at noon. Yan Yu was tortured badly by him last night and was still sleeping soundly. She didn't even know when the imperial physician took her pulse.

Hearing that the princess was still asleep, Xiao Chengji sneered: "She really can sleep."

Marry an ancestor into the family.

Nanny Deng smiled and said, "The emperor gave me some blood swallows as a reward."

"Let's stew it for her." Xiao Chengji said coldly, with a hint of sarcasm, "Let this little ancestor eat bird's nest as soon as she wakes up."

Yan Yu woke up after noon and still felt some pain in his body.

Last night, Xiao Chengji found that she was injured and bleeding, so he applied some medicine to her. Yan Yu didn't remember some of the details clearly, but she still felt a little hot when she thought about it roughly.

She didn't know what time it was and thought it was just morning. She sat up with difficulty and opened the bed curtain with one hand.

Xiao Chengji said coldly: "Finally woke up?"

Yan Yu nodded gently: "Should we go to the palace to pay our respects?"

Xiao Chengji's eyes swept across Yan Yu's face, then moved down to her delicate collarbone, and finally slowly moved away: "Tomorrow."
