Hidden golden branches

Chapter 159 Bridal Chamber Two

Ji Yuxian straightened up and looked at the copper hourglass in the corner of the room. It was already midnight, and said to her: "Rongrong, you are tired. Go to sleep." He blew out two candles. The inner room suddenly became dark.

He got into bed first and slept on the back side. He opened the thin quilt and raised his head to wave to Chen Rong.

Chen Rong's face was as bright as morning glow, and she hesitated for a moment not knowing what she was afraid of. On the wedding night, it is the duty of husband and wife to sleep in the same bed. She quickly took off her satin shoes and got on the bed, one foot away from Ji Yuxian.

Yu Zhu just came in and put down the curtains at this time. Ling'er wanted to come in and clean up the room, but Yu Zhu stopped her from going out.

Chen Rong smelled the scent of incense from the silver gilt balls hanging on the brocade quilt, and even the light and soft scent of pine on Ji Yuxian's body. She gradually fell asleep and closed her eyes.

A pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her into his arms.

Chen Rong opened his eyes immediately, no sleepiness at all, and his whole body became tense.

"Don't be afraid..." He whispered, holding her in his arms and making no move. He just put his chin on her head and held her brocade quilt in his arms.

Ji Yuxian said again: "Be good, if you don't do anything tonight, I will sleep with you in my arms." He slowly pulled off Chen Rong's quilt and hugged her into his bed.

"Ah?" Chen Rong's elbow touched his chest and was close to a strong and warm body.

The light was dim, Ji Yuxian looked down and saw Chen Rong looking up at her, just like when the tent was put out today, their eyes met.

Chen Rong felt that Ji Yuxian's breathing was slow and long. His face was so close to her, with clear outlines, handsome and elegant.

Is his breathing messed up? Or is your breathing messed up? Chen Rong couldn't tell the difference either.

How could Ji Yuxian not want the little girl and consummate his marriage with her?
But today she was really tired and it was late at night.

The person you love has been married back, and the future is bright.

Ji Yuxian looked at the swaying candlelight and looked at the sleepy, soft and lovely little wife in his arms, and his heart almost melted.
He didn't want her to be like his mother, who got pregnant and gave birth to a child at a young age, and took care of the affairs of the government, until her body collapsed and died early due to overwork.

Ji Yuxian's mother, Xie Ying, married the young and handsome 20-year-old Anguo Gong Ji Linyuan at the age of fifteen and became the mistress of the house. Take care of the inner affairs of the entire Anguo Gong's residence.

Ji Linyuan went to guard the border a few months after getting married, leaving his fifteen-year-old and pregnant wife Xie Ying in charge of the central government at home.

Think about it, a newly married daughter-in-law must not only be filial to her parents-in-law, care for her sister-in-law, but also handle the relationship between her sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law. Taking care of the general affairs of the entire Anguo Mansion is not an easy task.

Every day I get up earlier than others and go to bed later than others.

I am as tired as a dog all day long. If I don’t do something right, I will be criticized.

There are also those few aunts who are careful to get a piece of the pie and reap the benefits, who are stumbling in secret.

How could Xie Ying not be exhausted mentally and physically?

So Ji Yuxian doesn't want his little wife to be as overworked as his mother.
In fact, if Ji Yuxian hadn't carried the title of heir apparent, he would have really wanted to take his young wife to live in his newly purchased private residence.

However, since he has taken on the title of Crown Prince, he cannot give up his responsibility. He can only pursue his duties in his position and fulfill his responsibilities.

If the uncles and aunts in the family, who are eating, drinking, having fun and doing nothing, dare to make trouble for Rong Rong, it doesn't matter whether he, the eldest son, does it or not. It's okay to take his young wife and leave An Guo Gong's mansion to set up another family.

Ji Yuxian didn't believe that his and Chen Rong's children would not be able to find their own future in the future.

Duke An Guo Ji Lin Yuan has three legitimate concubine brothers. He and the third child are brothers, and the second child is a concubine.

Nowadays, the second sister-in-law Yu is in charge of the middle minister in the mansion. The person who was supposed to be in charge of the middle minister was Ji Linyuan's successor, the Zhuang family. Mrs. Zhuang only gave birth to two daughters. She did not have to seek benefits for her sons, so she was very smart and tolerant, and she was happy to be the hands-off shopkeeper.

The second child has five wives and concubines in his house, and they don't even have connecting rooms. There are two legitimate children, only one legitimate daughter, and five concubine children. The legitimate daughter was already married, and the legitimate son and two concubines were also married.

The legitimate son married a wife and took concubines, and there were three wives and concubines in the house. He gave birth to four legitimate children.

The two concubines had one wife and one concubine, and the eldest son had two concubine children.

The same is true for the second son.

The third family has three wives and concubines, two legitimate sons and three concubines.

The eldest son just got married last year. Although he has no children or concubines yet, he already has two wives in his room. After a few years, there are many wives and concubines, and there are many children. ,
So with such a big family, if you are a selfless leader, you will definitely be exhausted.

If you are selfish and want to gain benefits, you will be exhausted.

Because if you want to be corrupt, you must make false accounts, and you must do everything perfectly so that no one can see it. How much thought and trickery would it take?
Ji Yuxian doesn’t want Chen Rong to be in charge!
How tiring it is!

He married Chen Rong so that she could live a carefree life, instead of working hard as a steward of the family.

Besides, Grandma Zhong, who was keeping watch outside, said to Grandma Sun, "Sister, you go to bed first. You have to get up early tomorrow."

Grandma Sun thought about it, after all, Grandma Zhong had been taking care of the young lady since she was little, so she nodded and agreed to go to Dongshao to rest.

Aunt Zhong hurriedly directed the two rough ladies to boil water and told them to spend the night in the kitchen if they wanted to take a nap.

"Hey." The two women agreed and walked to the small kitchen.

They also know that tonight is a big day, a wedding night for the newlyweds. You have to boil the water quickly and simmer it in a pot so that you can be there on call.

Aunt Zhong then sat on the armchair placed under the eaves. It was already the Spring Festival, and no matter whether it was cold or not, she had to squat outside the bridal chamber and keep vigil for the young couple.

It's just that Aunt Zhong didn't hear any movement inside until Yinshi, and she couldn't help but feel doubtful in her heart.

But after much deliberation, I can't come up with a clue.

I thought that my uncle was in love with his young lady like the apple of his eye, so there was no way he would not consummate his marriage with her.

Could it be that my uncle has something to hide?

That's also impossible. My uncle is a dragon and a phoenix among people, good at literature and martial arts, and has a great body.

Aunt Zhong had mixed feelings, and Aunt Sun had also gotten up to take a nap in her place.

"Need not."

Grandma Zhong lifted off the cotton-padded gown covering her body, stood up from the chair, stretched out her hands to rub her waist, yawned, and then said to Grandma Sun, "I'm going to wash my face first. Go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast."

"also."

Grandma Sun took the armchair to the service room, and then stayed in front of the bridal chamber door to guard it.

When he got up the next day, Chen Rong opened his eyes and was confused for a moment. Looking up, there is a big red ringed gold curtain, and the silver gilt ball is shaking in front of my eyes.

Hey, I got married!
Chen Rong reached out and touched the place where Ji Yuxian was sleeping next to him. It was already cold, and only the familiar crisp pine scent of him remained.

It will be over in a few more chapters, and a few extra chapters will be written later.
