Chapter 361 - The Blissful and Loving Marriage (1/2)
Chapter 361 The Blissful and Loving Marriage
Mo Xuetong thought that she would find it difficult to go to sleep. She had always found it difficult to sleep in a new bed and when she first came to Cloud City, she had a hard time sleeping. She would startle awake from her sleep and wake up several times at night. She did not expect to sleep so well in Feng Yuran’s embrace this time. She did not dream at all. When she opened her slightly heavy eyes, what she saw was his handsome face.
He leaned slightly on his sight; his beautiful slender right hand was under his head. His long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, spread around him. He seemed extremely handsome, charming and elegant. Mo Xuetong pursed her lips. She had to admit that the man in front of her was too handsome. Otherwise, why would the most beautiful woman of the capital, Ling Fengyan, want to plot against him?
And he was the one who had caused all that trouble at the wedding. He was truly trouble!
Speaking of which, he and Ling Fengyan had only met a few times and spoken briefly. Earlier at the Princess Royal’s, when he saw Ling Fengyan, she thought that she was rather interesting. Yet now, Ling Fengyan was entangled with Feng Yuxuan and Feng Yulei. One was her new husband while the other was her childhood sweetheart. She had wondered who Ling Fengyan would be interested in, but did not expect it to be Feng Yuran.
Of all the unexpected things in the world, this was truly the most unexpected!
The arrogant beauty liked the licentious and wild prince. It was not that difficult to guess! The man was handsome and so charming, he was born to make women sad.
What was difficult to guess was the Prince was not interested in the most beautiful woman at all! One could not help but lament that while the flower was in love with the water, the water flows undulatingly and heartlessly!
Of course, when she thought of that, Mo Xuetong was very pleased. No matter what would happen, she did not want Ling Fengyan to be interested in him. She looked at his handsome face almost dazedly. She smiled shyly and could not help but reach out to pinch his handsome face. Her heart was filled with sweetness.
Feng Yuran watched her silently. He watched her pale and soft face lean into his chest and watched as her long black hair tangled with his long hair. Her long lashes fluttered over her eyelids, giving her an additional sense of coyness and charm. His heart was filled with delight and he relaxed.
She was finally his!
She belonged to him and him only! In the future, he could protect her openly and no one else could desire her.
“Are you awake?” He asked softly. He reached out to catch her teasing hands. His beautiful vermilion lips rose slightly. They were faintly charming. His handsome eyes were so bright they were like the stars in the sky. They shone with life as he looked on at her slightly dazed expression, pleased.
“Is it late?” Mo Xuetong suddenly regained her wits. She realized that she had been staring at him earlier and had even reached out to pinch his face. She flushed and turned to look away. She suddenly realized that this was the first day of their marriage and they had to enter the palace.
They had to serve tea to their elders on the first day of their marriage. That was a rule! Even the royal family was no exception to this rule.
“Don’t worry. We have to wait for Father to leave the morning court session!”
“Is there anything I should take note of?” She asked slightly hesitantly. Entering the palace was a big deal. First impressions were very important!
In her past life, she had served tea on the second day of her marriage. She heard what Mo Xuemin said earlier and had especially chosen a brightly colored dress and wore almost all her jewelry. However, the d.u.c.h.ess had only said one thing, “Ugly people always make more trouble!” Then, she left her tea Mo Xuetong offered her by the side and got a servant waiting by the side to give Mo Xuetong a bangle.
It was inauspicious to give newlyweds things in single digits.
Her Mother-in-law had given her a single bangle on the second day of her marriage. It showed how much the woman disliked Mo Xuetong!
“You don’t need to worry. You just need to go to the palace to meet my father. I heard that the Empress fell ill last night. She even stopped the other consorts from visiting her.” Feng Yuran smiled and comforted her when he saw that she was slightly panicking.
Mo Xuetong was stunned, not because the Empress fell ill last night. After what happened yesterday, the Third Prince had almost no chance of getting onto the throne. The Empress had suffered such a blow, so it was normal for her to fall ill. What Mo Xuetong was surprised about was how he found out about what happened yesterday so quickly.
She had known long ago that Feng Yuran was not simple. However, she had never expected him to be so powerful. He knew about each and everything that happened within the palace.
“After we serve Father tea later, we just have to go to Cining Palace. The Empress Dowager’s ailing body is getting better, on the other hand.” Feng Yuran paused. Then, he said with a teasing lilt in his voice. “Just agree with whatever the Empress Dowager says later. You don’t have to go against her. Since she wants to be an elder and cannot lose face, just push all the blame on me. Anyway, I am known to be arrogant and licentious.”
He was worried that she might suffer at Cining Palace later, which was why he was giving her this advice now. Mo Xuetong understood and leaned into his chest. She nudged his chest with her face and smiled coyly while nodding. She felt so sweet inside it was as if she had drunk honey. There was no one who had protected her so wholeheartedly ever before. He treated her so carefully and dotingly as if she were really a fragile treasure in his hands. She smiled, in a good mood, and leaned into him.
“Alright, I will listen to you.”
Feng Yuran looked at how coyly Mo Xuetong was behaving and could not help but laugh. He knew that the closer she was, the more he wanted her, and the less he was able to restrain himself. However, he really wanted to be close to her. It was when he could feel, more than ever, how she was truly by his side.
“You’ll listen to me?” He asked softly, reaching out to hold and knead Mo Xuetong’s soft, tiny, and slender hands.
He dragged his words our really long as if he was thinking about something. His heart itched and he felt an indescribable sense of discomfort. She flushed and glared at him, saying, “We are talking about something serious!”
“How is this not serious? A wife goes wherever her husband goes. Can I, a husband, not make my wife listen to me?” He said seriously. Feng Yuran suddenly felt that the air had become thin as he looked at the angry little face. Her pink lips were fatally attractive and they attracted his attention wholly.
He had always been proud of his calmness and self-restraint, but they had all disappeared. He could not help but laugh bitterly to himself. If it had been any other woman who was stark naked in front of him, he would not have any reaction. Only Tong’er, when he saw her, he wanted to tease her, hug her, and… Furthermore, she seemed ripe for the picking. How could he not be overwhelmed by desire? Yet, he had promised not to touch her while she mourned for her mother.
