The new queen went through the enthronement ceremony, paid homage to the ancestral temple, and was finally sent to the emperor's bedroom.
Along the way, the two walked side by side.
This young man, who grew up among a group of concubines and was always accompanied by eunuchs, was getting so close to a member of the opposite sex for the first time.
Plus the little episode just now...
Although Duan Changchuan had no expression on his face, his eyes always wanted to glance to the side.
The year the late emperor passed away, the eldest daughter of the Bai family had just turned four years old, a year younger than Duan Changchuan.
I heard that the Prime Minister's wife was in poor health and had not been pregnant for many years after marriage. When the legitimate daughter was born, the eldest daughter Bai Su was already more than 3 years old.
By this calculation, Bai Su is about 21 years old this year.
It should be a...sister
Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced to the side.
The other party seemed to have noticed his gaze and turned his head away as if he had the same idea.
He hastily straightened his expression and looked straight ahead.
-
Bai Su had been paying attention to this emperor whom she was "meeting for the first time" since the enthronement ceremony just now.
The boy's features were still well-behaved, and the gold-embroidered dragon robe he wore gave him an air of coolness that was not tainted by the mundane world, but the background colour was an extremely bright red.
Unlike Duan Changchuan's evasion, Bai Su looked at the other party openly.
She had just come through this morning, and was still in the sedan when she woke up.
Even though he had received the original owner's memories and knew that the person beside him was the young emperor, he was not so obedient after all.
not to mention…
The young man in front of him looked exactly like the Omega he married last night, even their names matched.
Bai Su looked at people even more unscrupulously.
"Duan Changchuan..."
She muttered to herself.
Is it the little one at home
She had just come to this world, and her body seemed to be merging with the original owner. The glands on the back of her neck had fallen into a deep sleep, and could not sense or release pheromones. Otherwise, at such a close distance, she would be able to smell it even if her own Omega was covered with ten more layers of clothes.
Thinking of this, Bai Su's gaze couldn't help but fall on the boy's neck again.
The emperor's clothes were conservative, with the collar turned up, covering most of his neck.
The boy was very pampered, and a light pink had already appeared where his collar touched his skin.
Alpha slowly withdrew his hesitant gaze...
This delicate appearance is exactly the same as the one in my family.
-
After entering the bedroom, the two of them sat on the bed, one in front and one behind.
The big bed, which was usually spacious and empty, suddenly had one more person sitting on it... Duan Changchuan was a little bit uncomfortable with it.
And for some reason, Bai Su had been looking at him since just now.
The hairs on his body stood up because of the stare.
The young man sat upright, looking serious.
At such a young age, he already has the dignity of a king.
He would have looked more majestic if his fingers, buried in his sleeves, hadn't been scratching back and forth.
The palace maid brought the wedding wine, knelt down and presented it to the two of them, saying, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please enjoy."
Duan Changchuan glanced to the side calmly, intending to do it quietly, but he didn't expect to be caught red-handed.
This situation should be known to everyone.
What's more, he is the emperor. With such a high status, who would dare to challenge him if he doesn't make it clear
But the new one doesn't play by the rules at all.
I could clearly see that he was sneaking around, and was only glancing at him, but I still grabbed his bag openly.
The woman raised her eyebrows and called him, "Your Majesty, do you want me to pour you some wine?"
Duan Changchuan: …
Of course not!
Besides, the wine has already been poured. Do you think he can't hear the sarcasm
He immediately took the wine glass, casually hooked the woman's arm, and drank it all in one gulp.
Then he dropped the wine glass.
Don't make your disdain more obvious.
When the palace servants saw that the ceremony was completed, the emperor's impatience was about to overflow, and they all bowed and left immediately.
The crowd dispersed, and only Duan Changchuan and Bai Su were left in the room.
Even Changle, the personal servant, hesitated for a moment and went to the outer room at Duan Changchuan's signal.
After a whole day of hard work, Duan Changchuan was exhausted.
He was in no mood for lunch. He only ate a few bites and then asked them to leave. He stayed there until the evening.
Roughly speaking, I haven't eaten much this whole day...
I just drank another glass of wine, and now I don't know if it's because of the alcohol or hunger, but I feel nauseous.
Now, sit on the bed.
The smell of alcohol and snacks on the table mixed together and drifted to my nose in waves.
Others were even more dizzy.
I wanted to close my eyes and relax, but the gaze from the side was hard to ignore. Especially after everyone left, that gaze became more obvious.
Duan Changchuan couldn't help but frown and said coldly: "Has the Queen seen enough? Even if you are a concubine's daughter from the side room, the Prime Minister's Mansion has never taught you the rules since you were a child, and the etiquette maids sent by the palace haven't taught you either? It's true that I am your husband, but before this, I was the emperor of the world. If the Queen doesn't know etiquette, I don't mind sending a few more maids to teach you for another three to five years."
The boy's voice was filled with his usual aloofness, but due to his weakness, his momentum was at least half weakened.
It looks more like an underage lion cub.
Bai Su was curious and responded indulgently, "Yeah, yeah."
Don't be too obvious in your perfunctory attitude.
Duan Changchuan was so angry that he took a deep breath, and just as he was about to explode, he was struck by dizziness again.
He closed his eyes unconsciously and raised his hands to rub his temples.
Forget it. I'm not feeling well today. I'll talk to her tomorrow after I've had a good rest.
Unexpectedly, while he was pressing his eyes, another force suddenly came from his temple.
At the same time, there was a gentle voice: "What's wrong?"
Duan Changchuan suddenly opened his eyes.
Turning around, I met those beautiful phoenix eyes.
The candlelight flickered in the room, and the woman's clear black eyes were dyed into soft amber.
Duan Changchuan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stood up and pushed the man away.
"You... as a girl, you simply, simply... have no manners!"
After saying this, I felt nauseous again.
There was a buzzing sound in my head, and everything in front of me began to fade and distort.
Just when he was about to fall backwards, a pair of hands firmly supported his arms.
Then he was helped and moved step by step to the chair next to him.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Is it low blood sugar?"
The woman half squatted down and put the back of her hand on his forehead.
Then he poured a glass of water, handed it to his mouth, and said, "Drink some water first."
It was still a little chilly in Shengjing at the end of January. The hot steam from the cup floated up.
The boy's long eyelashes became wet after a while.
After taking a few sips of hot water and sweating a little, Duan Changchuan finally felt better.
He pushed the teacup slightly outward and tilted his head slightly.
Bai Su understood and put the cup back in its place.
Then I held his hand and asked patiently, "What's wrong? Is it chest tightness, dizziness, or shortness of breath?"
The young man lowered his eyes, looked at the woman's white hand, and nodded slowly.
The next moment, the temperature on his hand turned cold. The woman had already let go of his hand and got up to go outside.
He blinked, looked at the empty room, and suddenly an inexplicable sourness welled up in his throat.
The king of a country
Haha, he lives like a joke.
-
Bai Su went out and told the palace servants at the door to prepare some rice porridge and side dishes, then returned to the palace.
Inside the room, a red candle on the table was burning quietly, and a young man in a bright red dress was sitting in the swaying light and shadow.
His eyebrows were lowered and his back was straight.
Inexplicably, I feel a little pitiful.
Bai Su picked up a piece of rice cake that looked relatively soft from the table, half-knelt on one knee in front of the boy, and handed the candy to his lips.
The boy took one look at it and pushed it away with disdain, saying impatiently, "I don't want to eat it."
Hiss... What a great official authority.
This guy has "Don't get close to me" written all over his body...
Bai Su thought of the little hedgehog at home whose thorns would stand up when it got angry.
Well, maybe I have to stroke it along its fur
Thinking of this, she pushed the rice cake towards his lips again and coaxed him in a soft voice: "I know you want to vomit now. Eating something will make you feel better. Eat a bite, and you can spit it out later, okay?"
Perhaps it was hard to refuse her kindness, the boy looked at her hesitantly, and finally put it into his mouth.
Duan Changchuan chewed very carefully, again and again.
Bai Su was close enough to hear his little coos.
After he had eaten half the rice cake, Bai Su brought him a glass of water, and the boy's pale face looked better.
"Didn't you eat well during the day?"
Bai Su curled the corners of her lips, her tone helpless.
The boy did not respond.
Bai Su stood up nonchalantly and put everything back on the table.
She has already determined that this "Duan Changchuan" is not the little one in the family. At least, it seems that he is not.
To the emperor, her current identity is that of a woman sent by his enemy to humiliate him.
The emperor has remained calm and has not picked a fight with her, and his temper is quite good.
It's just... she kind of misses her obedient Omega.
[Why…]
Bai Su sighed inwardly and turned around.
I was caught off guard and met a pair of clear and beautiful eyes.
Only then did she realize that the boy had been looking at her for a long time since she knew not when.
Well, not really... To be exact, I was looking at the food on the table with a little bit of greed in my eyes.
When their eyes met, the young man was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly looked away and sat up straight.
Duan Changchuan didn't know what happened. He had just felt uncomfortable and nauseous, but after eating half a piece of rice cake, he felt much better.
The side effect is: hunger...very hungry.
If Bai Su hadn't been in the room, he would have probably taken action right away.
The boy sat stiffly in the chair, his back straightened even more.
He seemed to have licked his lips subconsciously just now, and I don’t know if he was seen...
Or, why not just kick her out? Anyway, everyone knew that he was dissatisfied with the queen, so kicking her out was reasonable.
But she had done nothing wrong, and she had even been caring about me. Wouldn't it be a bit inhumane to just kick her out
Just as he was struggling with his conscience, Changle's voice came from outside.
"Your Majesty, Queen, the porridge in the imperial kitchen has been warmed up as instructed. Shall we bring it in?"
Porridge... is it warmed up as instructed
when
But the woman had already walked to the door and brought in the porridge.
The white porcelain spoon stirs the fragrant, glutinous and sticky rice, emitting a fragrant aroma.
He swallowed helplessly.
