On the night of their wedding, Prince Zhan could not hold it in for a while, and struggled until the sun had risen. It was just that Nangong Waner's physical strength was not as good as Prince Zhan's, he had long fallen into a deep sleep.
Nangong Waner was awakened from his sleep several times by the Prince Zhan, he closed his eyes and scolded the Prince Zhan, ”Chu Xiuhan! Are you still sleeping or not! ”
”This is our wedding night, it's such a memorable day, how can I bear to sleep.”
”It's already the second day, okay?”
”Oh, time is fleeting. We should really cherish the present. Wan Er, you don't need to choose the time to sleep. First, satisfy this king and I.
”Stop fooling around. At dawn, we should head to the palace to serve the empress dowager some tea.” Nangong Waner rolled up the blanket and covered himself with it, then turned around and was about to go to sleep.
”Why did you enter the palace to serve the empress dowager tea?” Prince Zhan, on the other hand, obediently stopped his hands' movements.
”You fox spirit really don't understand the worldly wisdom of the human world.” Nangong Waner sighed deeply, his heart full of helplessness.
However, even Nangong Waner didn't think that the empress dowager would be so unwilling to let her go. Even before dawn broke, the mama from the palace came to the prince's estate, saying that she wanted to bring the wangfei to the palace to serve the empress dowager tea.
Prince Zhan doted on his wife and chased the two mama away coldly.
That mama didn't expect that the Prince Zhan would deal with her in such a way, and she didn't immediately return to the palace either, dawdling in the Duke's Mansion.
”Your highness, our Tian Sheng has always advocated filial piety. As the new daughter-in-law, Princess Hua-Yang should set an example to show filial piety and respect for her parents for the entire people of Tian Sheng.” The mama's voice was rather loud on purpose.
Nangong Waner argued and did not sleep well, so he got up, cleaned himself, pushed the door, and walked out.
”Let's go, I'll go with you. Don't charge me with being unfilial. I'm just tired out from my newlyweds, so I can't get up early.”
Prince Zhan and Nangong Waner entered the palace together. In the carriage, Nangong Waner quickly took a nap.
”You can deal with the empress dowager as much as you want. If you don't want to deal with her, then let's go home.” Prince Zhan held Nangong Waner, and started to smooth the hair on the top of Nangong Waner's head.
”Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. It's just that I'm very sleepy right now, so I'll keep my eyes open for a while longer. Tell Midnight to drive the carriage a little slower, so I can sleep a little longer.”
The corner of Prince Zhan's mouth curled up as he looked at Nangong Waner who was in his embrace with a very gentle smile. He lightly kissed Nangong Waner on the forehead, then said to Zi Ye who was outside the carriage, ”Let's go another round.”
After comprehending this, Zi Ye rode the carriage to the farthest place, advancing at the slowest speed possible.
From afar, it looked like he was taking advantage of the sunny weather to ride his horse. His steps were filled with leisure.
With that said, the empress dowager was naturally staying in the Inner Palace, and no man was allowed in if they didn't have anything to do. Thus, Nangong Waner could only enter the empress dowager's chambers alone.
Nangong Waner didn't even remember how many times he entered the empress dowager's palace, and felt like he had a new experience every single time.
However, today, the empress dowager's bedroom seemed especially different. The usually bustling palace maids in the courtyard were all mama, as if everyone had nothing to do. Each and every one of them stood there respectfully, but upon seeing Nangong Waner's arrival, they all lightly bowed in greeting as well.
Nangong Waner did not care about what the empress dowager was singing as he walked into the empress dowager's bedroom at a leisurely pace.
The empress dowager had originally wanted to find out where Nangong Waner was wrong in order to viciously criticize and insult her, but Nangong Waner just stood there in a good attitude for a long time. Even after a long time, the empress dowager still couldn't find anything wrong.
The Nangong Waner of today had changed to comb her hair into a bun, and had a gorgeous yet not exaggerated hairpin on her head.
