Chapter 436 The first day of marriage
Li Hongting sighed at her back, then walked to the bed and got into his quilt.
He moved slightly, and Lu Shian sat up again.
"You go down."
Li Hongting looked at Lu Shian with amusement while lying in bed: "My concubine is too overbearing. Today is my wedding night. How can you bear to let me sleep on the floor? Besides, we have already done what we should do."
"Okay, I'll go down to sleep then."
Li Hongting's face suddenly turned cold: "I order you to lie down."
The majesty that only belongs to a superior was fully displayed, even though Li Hongting was still lying in bed.
Lu Shian sat there in a daze. How could she forget that he was the crown prince and the one who would rule the Dayuan Kingdom in the future? How could he allow her to act like a little bitch?
After a long while, Lu Shian said calmly, "I obey your order."
Lu Shian lay down silently, pulled up the quilt and covered his head.
Li Hongting sighed and said, "I order you to show your head.
Lu Shian really wanted to say, get out of here.
But she still pulled the quilt down reluctantly.
The moment she pulled down the quilt, she finally reacted.
Why is she so afraid of Li Hongting?
She was clearly a person of the 21st century. Although she knew the horror of imperial power, she was ultimately raised under the red flag.
She shouldn't be so afraid of imperial power, or she should have the courage to resist!
Could it be that it was influenced by the original owner?
But how could the original owner, who had never even left Huainan City, be afraid of imperial power?
Is it affected by the overall environment?
Because people here are afraid of those in high positions, so she follows the local customs?
If this is the case, why would the people in the Duke's Mansion be so unscrupulous even though they know that she is the prince's person?
Lu Shian was confused. She couldn't understand the reason behind this.
She didn't know when she fell asleep, but when she woke up, Li Hongting was already dressed.
Seeing her wake up, Li Hongting immediately said, "You're awake? Hurry up and wash and dress up. Today we have to go and pay our respects to the Empress Dowager, the Queen Mother, and the Consort."
The servants filed in, and Lu Shian was like a rag doll, letting the palace maids dress him up and wash him.
My hair, which used to be loose, was all combed up today.
Her entire head was covered with pearl and jade hairpins.
Lu Shian only felt that his head weighed dozens of kilograms.
She quickly took off the red hairpin, causing the palace maids to exclaim: "A concubine cannot do that."
Li Hongting said from the side: "Since she doesn't like it, just take it off."
Only then did the palace maids shut up.
After washing up, breakfast was served on the table. Looking at the sumptuous breakfast, Lu Shian wanted to say that he had no appetite.
But my stomach started to growl.
Li Hongting heard the sound of her stomach and couldn't help but chuckle, "Eat quickly."
After dinner, the two walked out of the room, and Lu Shian realized that Qin Jingzhi had been waiting outside the door for a long time.
She was stunned at first, but when she saw Qin Jingzhi saluting Li Hongting, she remembered that she should salute her.
She bowed and saluted: "Meet the Crown Princess."
“No need to be polite, sister.
Li Hongting said, "Let's go."
Lu Shian took a small step back and waited for Li Hongting and Qin Jingzhi to leave before he followed them.
Who would have thought that after she had taken a few steps, Li Hongting would stop and wait for her.
So the three walked side by side.
The three of them first went to the Empress Dowager's palace to pay their respects, and then went to the Queen.
This was the first time Lu Shian met the Queen Mother. She was dressed simply. She was very happy to see Li Hongting coming and she took Li Hongting aside to talk for a while.
Then the three of them walked towards the Imperial Concubine's Palace.
As for the other concubines, there was naturally no need for the master of the Prince's Mansion to pay their respects to them.
When he arrived at the Imperial Concubine's place, he stayed there until after lunch before leaving.
The three ladies all gave gifts. Lu Shian discovered that except for the Queen who gave the same gifts to the two, the gifts given by the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Noble Consort were slightly different.
The reward given to Qin Jingzhi was obviously more valuable than her own things.
Lu Shian felt a little sad. On the surface, the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Noble Consort looked at her well, and she thought that they would treat her and Qin Jingzhi equally.
But she could also understand that she was the Crown Princess and she was just a concubine.
After coming out from the Imperial Concubine, Lu Shian had to offer tea to Qin Jingzhi. After all, Qin Jingzhi was her mistress.
It was also at this moment that she had the opportunity to talk to Qin Jingzhi alone.
"I'm sorry, last night..."
She suddenly didn't know what to say. After all, what happened last night was really hard to explain.
Who knew that Qin Jingzhi suddenly laughed: "Are you apologizing to me?"
"Forehead?"
Can't she see?
Qin Jingzhi smiled and said, "How can I apologize for something like this? The prince likes you, so he is naturally willing to spend more time with you. What's wrong with that?"
Well, but last night was your wedding night.
Seeing Lu Shian's stunned expression, Qin Jingzhi asked her, "Do you think that since I'm the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince should have stayed at my place last night?"
“Shouldn’t it be like this?”
"Don't be silly, he is the prince, and the prince can stay wherever he wants."
Lu Shian stared at Qin Jingzhi without blinking. She wanted to tell from her subtle expression whether she was angry and whether she was resentful and plotting something against her.
As if she had guessed Lu Shian's thoughts, Qin Jingzhi sighed, "We are both women, and we will be in the same cage in the future, so why should we torture each other?"
cage!
Lu Shian widened his eyes in disbelief. It turned out that she looked at this marriage in the same way as he did.
"So, you didn't marry the prince voluntarily?"
Qin Jingzhi sneered: "Whether I am willing or not, it doesn't matter. I have no say in this matter. Women have to get married anyway, no matter who they marry."
Lu Shian was shocked by Qin Jingzhi's indifference. She was only in her teens, how could she be in such a state of mind?
Could it be that she came from another world?
Or go back decades?
Seeing Lu Shian staring at him in a daze, Qin Jingzhi called out softly, "Concubine?"
"what?"
Lu Shian coughed lightly and said, "The Crown Princess's idea really opened my eyes."
Qin Jingzhi smiled faintly again: "It's nothing. From now on, we will live in the same courtyard. How about we call each other sisters?"
Lu Shian smiled and called out, "Sister Shian greets elder sister."
"Sister Shi'an, please get up quickly."
Then the maid beside her brought up the table that had been prepared long ago.
"This is a small token of my appreciation. Although it is not as good as the reward from my mother, I hope Sister Shi'an will not despise it."
"I like this color very much. Thank you for the reward, sister."
Lu Shian picked up the beads and put them directly on his wrist.
After this round, Lu Shian returned to the courtyard where he lived, too tired to talk.
She lay on the bed with her arms and legs spread out, unable to help but yawning.
She didn't get up too early this morning, but she was too tired to talk.
"I don't know how my sister is doing."
