Chu Yao laughed heartily, easily subdued her, and lowered his head to kiss her.
He used to love nibbling on her little lips, and once he started kissing her, he wouldn't stop. But this time, he only touched her lightly a few times before moving downwards, all the way from her chin to her neck...
Wushuang suddenly burst into tears.
Hearing her soft sobbing, Chu Yao looked up and asked, "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"
Wushuang murmured, "Can't you be a little gentler?"
Chu Yao indeed lessened his grip, but she felt even more uncomfortable. At times, she felt as if she were floating on clouds, unsteady on her feet. At other times, she felt as if she were on a boat caught in a storm, tossed and turned.
Wushuang didn't know when she fell asleep. She felt drowsy and as if she had slept for a long time before she finally opened her eyes.
Chu Yao sat beside her, leaning against the pillow, looking refreshed as he flipped through a book.
Wushuang yawned sleepily, lifted her eyelids, and saw that the sky outside the window was getting dark. She sat up abruptly and complained in a coquettish voice, "Why didn't you wake me up? I still had to go serve tea to Mother. It's getting dark now. What are we going to do? People will laugh at us!"
Chu Yao didn't even lift his eyelids: "Then I won't go, what's the big deal?"
It's unclear what Chu Yao said to the old princess before, but since Wushuang returned to the manor, he has even waived the morning and evening greetings to her mother-in-law. However, Wushuang felt that small matters could be overlooked, but big matters could not be avoided.
It's like a family getting a new bride but skipping the traditional family recognition and homecoming ceremony. The new bride will have no face among relatives and friends, but her family will definitely be dissatisfied and might even cause trouble.
The same principle applies to serving tea to one's mother-in-law on the second day after the wedding.
Despite her aching back and waist, Wushuang got up, muttering to herself.
Chu Yao heard it clearly; it was nothing more than resentment directed at him: "Even if no one laughs at me for being rude, we'll still be laughed at for not getting up!"
Which one is that?
Chu Yao smiled and said, "Anyone who dares to talk about their master behind her back, I'll rip out her tongue and use it as a snack with my drinks."
Even if you don't say it out loud, don't you still think about it in your heart?
Wushuang ignored him and climbed out of bed by herself.
No sooner had I landed than my legs went weak and I was about to fall over.
Chu Yao reached out to support her and said gently, "Don't rush, it's a cloudy day, it's only past noon."
Wushuang glared: "It's past noon!"
Serving tea must be done very early in the morning; what's the difference between going after noon and going in the evening...?
Either way, it's embarrassing.
Chu Yao ordered a sedan chair to be brought over, but Wu Shuang refused to sit in it no matter what. In the end, Chu Yao forcibly carried her up.
She was so embarrassed that she covered her face with a silk handkerchief the whole way.
Upon arriving at the main room, the old princess didn't say anything unpleasant. After drinking tea, she rewarded Wushuang with two pieces of jewelry as usual. She also ordered someone to fetch half a pound of bird's nest from her private treasury.
"This is from the islands of Ryukyu. It's all from the first time the sea swallows built it, so it's very nourishing and good for your health. Eat it every day without interruption, and get more from me when you run out. Our royal family is small, and we are hoping that you will soon be able to have a son to carry on the family line."
He added, "Your mother has had some difficulty conceiving, but your sister is fortunate. Within a few years of marriage, she gave birth to three sons and a daughter for Prince Yi. This shows that such things have little to do with blood relations. When you have some free time, you might as well visit her more often and ask her if she has any secrets to success."
Wushuang hugged the box of bird's nest and thanked them, her face flushed.
Chu Yao took a half step forward, blocking her way, and said, "Wushuang is still young, there's plenty of time. There's no rush to have children. If Mother has nothing to do, she might as well visit her old friends more often, but don't have any inappropriate thoughts." His tone seemed quite displeased.
Wushuang felt that what the old princess said was something that elders would inevitably say in this kind of situation, and there was nothing wrong with it. She didn't understand where Chu Yao's anger came from, so she quietly reached out and tugged at his sleeve.
Chu Yao took her small hand in his own.
Wushuang pursed her lips shyly.
The old princess dared not offend her son, so she pretended not to see them and casually dismissed the young couple.
Back at Yuanxiang Hall, Chu Yao actually ordered Qiqiao to throw away the bird's nest.
The Qiqiao woman who followed along to offer tea was unaware of the reason for the ceremony and hesitated somewhat.
Wu Shuang quickly stopped Chu Yao: "Why are you wasting things?"
"What's so precious about bird's nest? If you want to eat it, I'll have someone buy a whole truckload for you tomorrow," Chu Yao said.
Throw away half a pound, buy a whole truckload...
Wushuang is now a housewife, so of course she can't stand such extravagance: "Even if you have money, you can't use it like this. Besides, Mother just wants to have a grandson, she doesn't mean any harm."
Seeing the couple arguing, Qiqiao silently took the box of bird's nest and left.
Chu Yao sneered, "I've never heard of having a child just by eating two bowls of bird's nest. If you want to have a child, you'll have to beg me more."
Having said that, he pounced like a falcon hunting its prey, pinning Wushuang down on the bed.
