Chapter 153: The Wedding Night
"You will be leaving for Hanzhou tomorrow, and Madam Pei may not go with you, so when you go to the Pei family's old house, Madam An is not someone you can easily deal with. With this imperial title, you don't have to kneel when you see her. You can be more arrogant. After all, you are the eldest lady of the Pei family, a lady of imperial title conferred by your father. She is only a third-rank lady, so she has to bow and scrape in front of you, do you understand?"
Princess Qinghuan's words resolved Jiang Shiyuan's doubts. Although she guessed that this was a deliberate surprise, she did not expect that the target was Aunt An.
She had never seen this before. If even the princess was a little afraid of her, she must not be an easy character to deal with. She would either be a smiling tiger or a femme fatale. She just didn't know which one she was, so she turned to the princess and said.
"I understand. Thank you for your concern for me, Princess. I will not let you down when I go to Hanzhou this time."
Princess Qinghuan nodded, and asked Nanny Shen to help her up. Then she pointed at the dishes on the table and spoke.
"Eat quickly, or it won't taste good if it gets cold. I'm going to go outside and take a look! My husband can't drink much. If he gets drunk, it will be troublesome to take him back. I'd better go and take a look."
Jiang Shiyuan was a little surprised when he heard Princess Qinghuan mention her husband.
Because before this, she didn't feel that the princess had any concern or love for her husband. It was more of an exploitation and a restraint on his status.
So he glanced at Nanny Shen secretly, and seeing some smile in her eyes, Jiang Shiyuan understood that some people and some things may not be satisfactory at the beginning, but as time goes by, there will always be some inexplicable integration, such as the princess and the prince consort.
She didn't know much about Cheng Dengping, but she knew that he was a modest and respectful gentleman. If he and the princess could really be in love with each other, it would be a good thing.
After seeing Princess Qinghuan off, Jiang Shiyuan picked up his chopsticks again.
After eating until he was 70% full, he asked someone to take the dishes away. Looking at the two jade ruyi on the table, he suddenly felt inexplicably curious about the upcoming trip to Hanzhou.
Is it Aunt An?
She hasn't seen many evil people since she was born.
The second aunt, Zhang, was one, the princess’ mother-in-law in the previous life, and the prince was also one.
Jiang Shiyuan wanted to see how capable this Concubine An was, as she was also a concubine. Was she more evil than the two concubines who had wronged her?
The sky gradually became dim as it got brighter, and the bustle in Ning'an Garden gradually faded away.
Pei Zisu was drunk and passed out. He was supported by a servant and walked into Yincuitang.
The Pei family returned to peace, and the twin brother and sister were directing people to clean up the "battlefield". Today, even Uncle Nie was drunk, but the brother and sister were still sober, so they stayed here to deal with it.
Jiang Shiyuan was quite surprised to see that his cousin Pei could still get drunk.
She had taken off her hairpins and wedding dress, and was now wearing a relatively thin red inner garment. Her hair was simply tied up without much restraint.
Seeing Pei Zisu like this, she went forward to support him, then asked Liu Huahua and Luoluo to fetch some water. She personally served and helped Pei Zisu wipe off some of the drunkenness.
When the warm handkerchief brushed past his face, Pei Zisu woke up a little and grabbed those gentle hands. When he opened his eyes, he was a little dazed, but not as drunk as just now.
He sat up without help, patted his head, and started talking.
"These people really wanted to force me to drink to death. I don't know how much I drank."
"Aren't those people here just for Cousin Pei's alcohol tolerance? It's a rare opportunity to attack you openly, so it takes some effort. But if they knew you drank so much and were still able to look at me soberly, I'm afraid they would regret not being ruthless enough."
Pei Zisu chuckled a few times after hearing this, and then pulled Jiang Shiyuan to sit next to him, holding her in his arms and whispering drunkenly, "Are you still going to call me cousin Pei? Are you really not going to change your name?"
"Then what do you want me to call you? Zi Su?"
"I want to hear you call me husband~~~~"
Jiang Shiyuan felt a little shy when Pei Zisu said the word "husband", and then she hit him on the chest, but she didn't use much force.
Pei Zisu enjoyed it very much, so he grabbed his hand and kissed it.
As expected, as a married person, he has no shyness at all when doing these things!
But Jiang Shiyuan was thinking about other things at the moment and didn't notice it.
Although she remembered her mother calling her father like this before, she mostly heard her aunt call her uncle "Marquis", and Aunt Yang only called her father "Master". Therefore, she was unable to open her mouth, so she whispered something to Pei Zisu.
"How about I call you General? This is more appropriate for your status."
"Why should I conform to my status? You are my wife, and I am your husband. I can call you Anian or my wife, but I want you to call me husband. Just call me husband, okay?"
Pei Zisu's drunkenness made his already bold mind even more blatant. He teased and requested a little on purpose, just to see how Jiang Shiyuan would answer.
Her face turned as red as a ripe persimmon. She was so amused that she finally shouted in a low voice.
"Husband..."
There was a hint of shyness in her tone, and it was this sound that made Pei Zisu feel satisfied. He hugged Jiang Shiyuan tighter, and then, under the influence of alcohol, whispered some affectionate words in her ears.
"Since Madam has spoken, I should do what I have to do today."
After saying that, he laid Jiang Shiyuan sideways on the bed, reached out and pulled out the hairpin she used to fix her hair. Then, her black hair fell on the couch like a waterfall. In the flickering light of the dragon and phoenix candles, he gently kissed her cheek.
Suddenly, a blush appeared on Jiang Shiyuan's face.
Seeing her like this, Pei Zisu became more and more excited and kissed her on the cheek again.
"Ah Nian, is it okay?"
He said this in a low voice, and Jiang Shiyuan naturally understood what he meant. They were both married, and it was only right for them to do things as husband and wife. So he boldly reached out and climbed onto Pei Zisu's back. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear.
Strangely enough, the smell of alcohol on Pei Zisu was not disgusting at all. Instead, it fueled their love. The Pei family had a pair of affectionate couples.
