Chapter 56 (1/2)

Chapter Fifty-Six

A solemn atmosphere shrouded the imperial city.

Everyone at Pei Jin’s manor hid their joy.

There were no red flowers, no firecrackers and no red wedding decorations. Everyone at Pei Jin’s manor only changed into new clothes and ate a simple wedding banquet together.

In the evening Bei Dou and Xiao Tu were escorted to their chamber.

When Bei Dou was about to step into the chamber, Pei Jin pulled him back.

‘Do you know how to do it?’ Pei Jin asked softly.

Pei Jin feared the innocent Bei Dou wouldn’t know how to do it.

‘Don’t forget I’m a physician,’ Bei Dou said.

‘I wish you a happy night!’ Pei Jin said.

‘Um,’ Bei Dou said.

Bei Dou stepped into the chamber but Pei Jin pulled him back again.

‘Are you certain you understand what to do?’ Pei Jin asked.

Bei Dou looked suspiciously at Pei Jin then Bei Dou strode into the chamber.

Bei Dou carefully checked the windows and doors were locked properly then he stepped toward the bed.

Bei Dou’s heart pounded the moment he saw the veiled Xiao Tu on the bed. He waited for his heart to calm a little then he sat on the bed next to her and he stared at the floor for a while.

Bei Dou’s hands began fiddling. He didn’t know what to do next because it wasn’t written in the medical books that he studied.

Xiao Tu slowly moved closer toward Bei Dou and she stretched out her hand in the direction of his hand. He thought she was a daring demoness and his hesitations disappeared. He pushed her onto the bed and pulled off her red veil… except the face of the person below his body wasn’t Xiao Tu!

‘Ah!’ Xiao Zai cried out.

Pei Jin kicked opened the locked door, entered the chamber and saw Xiao Zai was crying.

‘Ninth prince, save me!’ Xiao Zai begged.

A while later Xiao Zai was exchanged for Xiao Tu and Bei Dou finally calmed down a little. But Bei Dou still glared at Pei Jin like Pei Jin was his biggest enemy.

Pei Jin was smiling because Bei Dou tasted what it was like to have other people interfere during a good night.

‘It’s not that I didn’t let you do it,’ Pei Jin teased. ‘But it wasn’t the right time to do it.’

Pei Jin silently cursed Bei Dou, ‘you dare to lie I needed to wait a year!’

Bei Dou didn’t want to admit that he shouldn’t have teased Pei Jin in the past.

Pei Jin waited for Bei Dou to close the door then he turned around to look at Xiao Zai.

‘Ninth prince, you’re too cruel,’ Xiao Zai sulked. ‘What happens if Gentleman Bei didn’t take off the veil but continued to undress me?’

Pei Jin patted Xiao Zai’s shoulder. ‘Then you can enjoy being undressed and what happens afterward.’

Xiao Zai was speechless at Pei Jin’s way of comforting another person.

Inside the chamber Bei Dou was satisfied it was Xiao Tu on the bed next to him. But he didn’t know what to do next.

‘Tonight is our wedding night,’ Bei Dou said.

‘Yes,’ Xiao Tu said.

‘We should sleep early tonight,’ Bei Dou said.

‘Yes,’ Xiao Tu said.

Xiao Tu began to take off her clothes.

Bei Dou panicked. ‘Xiao Tu, what are you doing?’

‘Gentleman Bei, don’t you take off your clothes before you sleep?’ Xiao Tu asked calmly.

Bei Dou was speechless.

Bei Dou and Xiao Tu took off their clothes and they laid straight under the same blanket.

Bei Dou smelt Xiao Tu’s body scent and his body stiffened. He recited in his head one hundred times that a spring night was more precious than thousands of silver taels.

Bei Dou dared to look at Xiao Tu’s face of anticipation.

‘Gentleman Bei, you can’t sleep?’ Xiao Tu asked.

‘Um,’ Bei Dou said.

Bei Dou didn’t know why his body felt hot.

Xiao Tu widened her eyes. ‘Then we should have a wedding night.’

Bei Dou was startled speechless. He thought Xiao Tu was a direct woman.

Xiao Tu leaned her face closer to Bei Dou’s face.

Xiao Tu was only wearing her thin undergarments. If Bei Dou looked down then he could see her bare slender legs and her soft chest, his whole body stiffened. Her lips touched his lips and his soul flew away.
