Two months later. Yuntai Palace.

The candles are dim, the night moon is misty, and the room is full of beautiful colors. Wei Nong sat alone on the ebony gilt treasure elephant twined branch bed, and his eyes were red.

This bed is Chu Li's marriage bed. This red is the red of Prince Chu's wedding.

Wei Nong was a little dazed, she couldn't remember how she married Chu Li. From nodding his head to agreeing to him, to trying on the wedding dress to prepare for the wedding, until today's ceremony, everything is like a dream, which makes her involuntary and catches her off guard.

She originally thought that she would be able to accept it calmly and accept the marriage contract that had been set up for a long time. However, when it was really time to send it into the cave room, the overwhelming resistance came to me......

The hands in the wedding dress were clenched tightly, the palms were already sweaty, the heavy phoenix crown and the complicated wedding dress made her breathless, and she was a little afraid to face the person who was about to come in.

Whatever she wanted, a steady stream of greetings suddenly sounded outside the door, and then, the door of the dormitory was pushed open, and the man stepped in slowly, landing silently towards her.

Xi Niang and the others couldn't wait to greet them, and served the two of them to complete the rest of the etiquette, merging, knotting their hair, and removing their clothes...... After a few more congratulations, he respectfully retreated.

From beginning to end, Wei Nong's eyes were lowered, and even when Chu Li lifted the hijab for her, she never looked up at him.

At this moment, the two stood opposite each other, standing next to the marriage bed. The wedding dress has long been removed, and they both know what to do next. But no one spoke.

The hours flowed quietly, the torment was unbearable, and finally, Chu Li sighed softly: "You don't want to?" ”

Weimin bit his lower lip, and for a moment, tears stained his long eyelashes. She had imagined this scene a thousand times, but when her lover spoke, her heart was so sad and embarrassed.

He is not him. He's so good, he's so bad, but unfortunately, she prefers the bad one.

"You have someone in your heart." This time, he was adamant.

A slight silence is the best answer.

The two sides were speechless, relatively speechless, and after a long time, Chu Li spoke again: "I'll go to the side hall, you can rest." ”

Wei Nong was a little surprised and ashamed, and raised his tearful eyes to look at him: "Your Highness......"

Chu Li's face was calm, and there was a trace of unreal floating shadow in the candle flame: "I don't like to be strong." He said.

Wei Nong became even more embarrassed when he heard this, and choked up: "I thought I could do it......"

Her tears were dripping down one by one, like pearls in the sea. Seeing this, Chu Li slowed down her expression, and comforted her: "Although I don't know the inside story, it's just ...... Don't be too sad. ”

Wei Nong shook his head, covered his eyes and sobbed, and his whole body trembled.

Chu Li stared at her carefully, and actually smiled: "Don't cry, we will be the same as before." ”

His left index finger tapped a few times on the table: "This matter will not be relieved in a moment, in short, the time is still long, take your time!" ”

Wei Nong didn't know what he was referring to, whether he was talking about the two of them, or whether he was talking about her and Nie Xingji. But she still nodded: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding......"

"If you want to thank me, wipe away your tears. If you are seen by the palace maids, you will think that I have bullied you. His words were no longer as heavy as Fang Cai's, with a hint of ridicule.

Wei Nong hurriedly wiped away his tears and burst into a smile: "I always make a fool of myself in front of His Highness." ”

"No," Chu Li commented lightly, "simple and sincere, you are very good." ”

As if there was nothing more to say, he turned his eyes to look in the direction of the side hall: "Rest!" Early tomorrow morning, I will go to offer tea to my father. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Nong's eyebrows frowned, obviously making a difficulty. Chu Li knew what she was thinking, so she also said bluntly: "I can't hide this matter, I will talk to my father and the king...... That's what I mean. ”

Wei Nong was ashamed and didn't know what to say, his lips opened slightly, and he stopped talking.

Chu Li didn't say anything more, turned around and walked towards the side hall. As soon as he walked to the door of the side hall, he heard Wei Nong sobbing behind him: "Your Highness......"

Chu Li stopped and turned around, looking at her silently.

Wei Nong bit his lower lip, as if he had made a great determination: "You are still ...... Stay! I ......"

She didn't finish her sentence, she thought she meant it was clear. As a wife, she can't escape the responsibility, she tries to face it.

However, Chu Li didn't respond to anything, his back was straight, and his face like jade was sinking like a sea, and he lifted the bead curtain and walked out.

*****

The next day, Chu Li returned to the dormitory half an hour early, sat outside the screen and waited for Weinong. Inside the screen, the palace maids are dressing up the new crown princess, and looking through the thin screen, you can vaguely see the fragrant sideburns inside, surrounded by red sleeves.

Not long after, Wei Nong came out from behind the screen, saw Chu Li, and saluted in shame. After a night, the latter seemed to have calmed down, and praised her: "Not bad." ”

The crown prince and the crown princess failed to have a round house last night, and this matter could not be concealed at all. Therefore, early this morning, the atmosphere in the dormitory was a little suffocating, and the palace maids were trembling and didn't dare to say a word, until Chu Li opened his mouth and praised it slightly, as if it eased the atmosphere.

The two had a simple breakfast, and then went to meet the king of Chu to serve tea. Along the way, Wei Nong was nervous, for fear that King Chu would question her about last night. However, she was still too worried, and the king of Chu only told him that the two of them should "Qin Se and Ming, and extend the incense early", without mentioning a word, and did not show the slightest dissatisfaction with Wei Nong.

However, the phrase "early extension of incense" is enough to imply.

On the way back to Yuntai Palace, the palace people consciously followed him far away, slightly slow Chu Li one step, and followed him step by step, unusually silent. After walking for a long time, Chu Li suddenly stopped and asked her with a smile, "What are you afraid of?" ”

He seems to have reverted to being the gentleman who is as gentle as jade, looking forward to a light smile, which makes people very willing to get close and trust.

In fact, Wei Nong didn't sleep well all night, and his complexion this morning was a little haggard, and he didn't know how to face him at all, so he lowered his head and replied: "I'm not afraid......"

Chu Li naturally continued to walk and said, "A few days ago, when you were preparing for the wedding, your schoolwork was wasted. From tomorrow onwards, keep reading! ”

"Huh?" Wei Nong didn't know why he suddenly brought it up.

Chu Li said to himself: "After reading "Nangong Old Things", I will continue to recite "Midnight Wu Song". This book is easy to understand, is half a month enough? ”

Wei Nong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Enough!" Enough! ”

For some reason, when she saw Chu Li smiling at her, she was deeply moved and grateful. Not to mention "Midnight Wu Song", even if Chu Li wants her to learn to read the wordless book at this moment, she will definitely eat it within half a month!

"Next month, my father is going to implement a new policy, and I will be very busy. Thou hast ordered the study to be tidied up, and from to-morrow I will live there. "He seemed to be saying something inconsequential, very calm, and the clouds were light.

It is this thoughtful attitude that teaches Wei Nong to feel more guilty. The palace of Chu is not as good as the palace of King Yan, and the palace of Yuntai is not as good as Nie Xingyi's East Palace, and the crown princess does not have a special dormitory at all, which means that no matter what the relationship between the husband and wife is, they have to stay in the same room.

Perhaps because of this rule, the successive kings of Chu have been in love and harmony with the queen, and there is no one who looks like a god, and the prince is mostly born by the queen. These micro-thickeners are all known, but she vaguely feels that she is going to make an exception.

Chu Li didn't seem to notice her unnaturalness, and carefully instructed many trivial things, such as when he worked and didn't like to disturb when he was working; For example, what is his taste, Lu'an melon slices are indispensable every day......

He seemed to have regarded her as his wife, and handed over the housekeeping of the entire Yuntai Palace to her. Wei Nong wrote it down carefully, and as soon as he returned to Yuntai Palace, he became busy, and instructed the palace people to clean up the study, so as to make Chu Li live in peace and comfort.

The people around Chu Li are very self-contained, and when they saw that the prince was going to live in the study for a long time on the second day of the wedding, they didn't ask a word. There is no disrespect for the titular princess Weinong, at least on the face. After a day of getting along, Wei Nong had already written down the names and responsibilities of most of the palace people, and under Chu Li's guidance, she got along with them very well.

Originally, she thought that Chu Li moved to the study under the pretext of "busy" to avoid embarrassment. But soon she realized that she was wrong, and he was really busy. On the fifth day after getting married, he began to go to the morning court, and after the next court, he went straight to the study, and each time he brought back a thick stack of books and books to deal with all kinds of government affairs.

Yuntai Palace is not as idle as she imagined, and the palace people perform their duties and take care of everything in an orderly manner. She is the crown princess who doesn't matter at all, although the palace people will come to her from time to time to ask for advice, but most of the time, she doesn't need to make suggestions at all, just nod, or shake her head.

The only consolation is that no matter how busy Chu Li is, he will definitely eat dinner with her, unless there is an unshirkable banquet. At the dinner table, Wei Nong would talk about the day's chores, as well as her own trivial matters, such as the progress of schoolwork. Most of the time, Chu Li listens quietly, occasionally comments on one or two sentences, and if he is lucky, he can hear a few jokes from him.

The days lasted for more than a month, and by the end of April, Wei Nong had finished reading "Midnight Wu Song" and "Records of the Dead Country", and Chu Li also made a special trip to take out a noon to test her study results.

Wei Nong answered carefully, and asked a lot of doubts, seeing that Chu Li was quite satisfied, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She was a little afraid of him, and the sense of closeness that she had finally developed since the hunt was faded by this unexpected marriage, until now, she began to be in awe of him again, and guilty.

"Starting tomorrow, you can study The Art of War. I won't limit the amount of time I will read this book, but I will read it slowly and start memorizing the texts at the same time. Chu Li said this to her after dinner.

"Yes." Slightly thick should be down immediately.

He got up and walked out of the dining room, and made a gesture in the direction of the study. In the past, when the two were not married, Chu Li went to Yuxiu Palace to pick up Weinong; Now that she has taken on the status of husband and wife, she has become a slight nong to send him to the study, but she has never been in.

Chu Li's study is located in a secluded place in Yuntai Palace, and the two of them walked to the place silently, and Wei Nong saluted: "Staying up late hurts your body, Your Highness should rest early." ”

"Hmm." Chu Li responded, smiling slightly, and before stepping into the arch of the weeping flowers, he suddenly turned to her and said, "Yesterday, my father summoned the ministers to go spring hunting, and I inadvertently beat a little bear...... I can't bear to do it, so I'll give it to you! ”
