Chapter 123 The Emperor's White Moonlight 5
The two walked side by side, entering the majestic and magnificent imperial palace with solemn steps. Led by the palace servants, they slowly came to the Fengxian Hall to inform their ancestors and then receive worship.
After completing a series of rituals, Lingjiu arrived at Guangling Palace. At this time, Lingjiu was helped down and changed into another gorgeous wedding dress, with a veil on her head and a graceful figure. Seeing Ling coming out, he carefully supported Lingjiu, and his gentle movements were full of care and love.
They walked into the bedroom, Lingjiu gently supported by him, and slowly sat down on the bed. The court lady smiled broadly, spouting a string of auspicious words. Then, his eyes fell on the wedding scales on the tray in the court lady's hand. He slowly reached out and took the scales, his heart filled with nervousness and anticipation. Trembling slightly, he gently lifted the veil with the scales, revealing Lingjiu's stunning face beneath. He stared at Lingjiu in a daze, as if the whole world was just the two of them.
Then, a female official, beaming with joy, presented two glasses of fine wine. The delicate cups gleamed with a warm luster under the light. The two exchanged glances, each reaching out to gently take a glass. They slowly raised their glasses, their arms interlocking, and then gulped the fragrant wedding wine down their throats.
After drinking the wedding wine, the court lady cut a lock of their black hair from each man. Then, she took a bright red string and carefully tied the two locks together. Finally, she placed the tied locks in an exquisite brocade box.
"You guys step back!" Ji Heng waved his hand slightly, his tone was not sharp but majestic.
"Yes." The female officials and the other palace maids bowed respectfully and then left the bedroom with gentle steps. For a moment, the bedroom was silent.
Ji Heng slowly stood up, his eyes filled with tenderness. He bent down slightly and gently took off the dazzling and gorgeous phoenix crown from Lingjiu's head. Lingjiu felt her head lighten, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her head. She reached out and gently pinched her neck, saying bluntly, "I'm so tired."
Ji Heng raised a smile, walked over to Lingjiu and sat down, raised his hands and began to massage her shoulders gently. Lingjiu closed her eyes, looking peaceful and enjoying it, with no intention of stopping her.
"Thank you for your hard work, Jiuer." Ji Heng's voice was low and gentle, echoing softly in Lingjiu's ears.
"Your Majesty is the one who works the hardest. He has to deal with heavy government affairs and carefully organize the wedding. Now you are massaging my shoulders, which makes me seem very ignorant." Although Lingjiu said this, she had no intention of asking Ji Heng to stop.
Ji Heng frowned slightly, feeling rather dissatisfied with Lingjiu's address, which he found too distant. He said softly, "From now on, can you call me by my courtesy name, Ziyan?"
Lingjiu turned around, her eyes sparkling with curiosity: "Does anyone else in the harem know Ziyan's courtesy name?"
"No." Ji Heng's answer was concise and firm.
Lingjiu nodded with satisfaction, a smile on his face: "In that case, from now on I will call you Ziyan."
Hearing Lingjiu's response, Ji Heng's lips curled up more obviously, his heart filled with joy. His hands moved more gently and forcefully.
A moment later, a soft voice came from outside the room: "Your Majesty, dinner is ready."
"come in!"
The door was slowly pushed open, and the palace maids were holding various exquisite delicacies in their hands. After carefully putting them down, they bowed respectfully and retreated.
Ji Heng gently took Lingjiu's hand and led her to the table to sit down. He picked up the chopsticks and served Lingjiu the dishes gracefully. He only started to eat after Lingjiu was full.
As the sky darkened, night fell quietly like ink. Inside the bedroom, only the dragon and phoenix candles flickered with faint light, and the dim light and shadow danced slightly on the walls.
Ji Heng gently called for hot water, and the two of them washed carefully. Then, they welcomed the final ceremony. Under the warm and quiet candlelight, he gently held her in his arms and whispered in her ear: "Jiu'er, from now on, you are mine." His voice was low and affectionate. At this moment, Ji Heng's heart was filled with joy and satisfaction. He had finally reached this point with the person he loved so much.
She pressed herself against his chest, quietly listening to the sound of his powerful heartbeat. He slowly lowered his head and kissed her lips. His kiss was passionate and affectionate, like a blazing flame, wanting to completely merge her into his body.
His breath was close, warm and fiery. He whispered, gently licking her earlobe. The tingling sensation instantly spread through her body like an electric current. Her body felt limp, melting under this gentle attack. Under his guidance, she was like a boat lost in the ocean of love, gradually falling in reflexively.
The room was filled with love and warmth, a charming ripple. Her blushing face was so charming and beautiful that he couldn't stop himself from wanting to see her.
The dragon and phoenix candles in Guangling Palace burned quietly all night, their faint glow seeming to bear witness to their deep affection and tenderness. Hot water was called five or six times during the night, and everyone in Guangling Palace was delighted.
After Ji Heng finished his government affairs, his heart still etched in Lingjiu's mind, he hurried towards Guangling Palace. He dismissed his attendants and tiptoed towards the still-resting Lingjiu. She lay there, her face serene and peaceful in her sleep.
"Jiuer, wake up. Can you rest after lunch?" Ji Heng leaned close to her ear and called softly.
Lingjiu slowly opened her eyes, still a little confused. Her voice was lazy and hoarse, just waking up: "What time is it now?"
Ji Heng gently helped her sit up, his eyes full of love: "It's already Si time." (Eleven o'clock.)
"It's already so late, and I haven't even paid my respects to the Queen yet."
Ji Heng quickly comforted her: "I have already told the Queen that you have just entered the palace and need to rest well. You don't need to pay your respects to anyone in the future." He paused and continued: "Not only the Queen, you don't need to pay your respects to anyone in the future, including me."
Ji Heng looked at Lingjiu and said seriously: "Since you have married me, I will protect you. This is my promise to you. Give me some more time, and I will make you the most noble woman in Cangwu."
Lingjiu's lips curled up slightly: "Then I will wait."
Ji Heng rubbed her hair lovingly: "Are you hungry? Let's go get some snacks."
Lingjiu showed a bit of coquettish expression: "But, I have no strength in my body."
Ji Heng's cheeks flushed slightly, and he felt a little shy and sweet in his heart: "It's my fault, can I change your clothes for you?" He was indeed a little reckless last night, but Lingjiu was really addictive.
He stood up, took the clothes, and carefully put them on Lingjiu. Although his movements were a bit clumsy, every move was made seriously.
