An Ning ate more than half of the suckling pig in one breath.
Finally, she was full.
"Tea." An Ning instructed.
Feeling a bit thirsty and greasy.
The Palace Attendants beside her were trembling with fear.
This segnt didn’t include tea.
"Is it alright to drink wine?" Xiao Jinxing asked.
"Is there wine?" An Ning retorted.
Of course, she could drink it all.
After all, she could hold her liquor quite well.
Besides, having been in the Imperial Palace for so long, with An Youyou constantly by her side, she had been restraining herself from drinking.
If she could quench her craving with so wine today, it would be even better.
"Follow ." Xiao Jinxing stood up and then took her hand.
An Ning followed him to sit back at the edge of the bed.
Xiao Jinxing gave a gesture to the Palace Attendants.
The Palace Attendants obeyed respectfully.
An Ning watched as the Palace Attendants brought two gourds split in half, filled them with wine, and respectfully handed one to Xiao Jinxing and one to An Ning.
"Please, let the Emperor and the Empress drink the wedding wine," the elderly nanny announced loudly, "Symbolizing that from this day on, the Emperor and the Empress are united as one, to be together forever."
Only then did An Ning understand.
So the wine they ant was the wedding cup.
Xiao Jinxing picked up the wine-filled gourd, proactively hooking An Ning’s arm with his, wrists crossed.
"Empress, please." Xiao Jinxing smiled.
An Ning glanced at the gourd in her hand, then at Xiao Jinxing up close.
Looking into his eyes, they seed as deep and bright as the stars.
She lowered her gaze.
Their lips drew near.
Xiao Jinxing leaned closer too.
Their foreheads seed about to touch.
The ceremonial nature of ancient rituals is difficult to refuse.
She drank the wedding wine.
The sweet wine held a hint of the gourd’s bitterness.
Does this an, through thick and thin together?!
Having finished.
An Ning withdrew from Xiao Jinxing’s arm.
Xiao Jinxing also sat up straight.
The two of them handed the gourds back to the Palace Attendants.
The Palace Attendants received them respectfully.
The elderly nanny smiled benevolently, saying, "The ceremony is complete. The servants will not disturb the Emperor and Empress’s wedding chamber. We shall take our leave."
With the ceremony complete.
Everyone in the inner hall withdrew.
In the vast room, only she and Xiao Jinxing remained.
The air seed to grow thin.
An Ning pursed her lips.
Xiao Jinxing’s Adam’s apple seed to involuntarily move.
Suddenly, it beca quiet.
An Ning frowned.
Wasn’t he usually quite proactive?!
Now that it’s legitimate, is he scared?
An Ning thought.
Just sitting there with Xiao Jinxing wasn’t an option.
Having been up since dawn for dressing and preparing, followed by endless ceremonies, with various incidents in between, she was physically and ntally exhausted, feeling that if she sat any longer, she would truly fall asleep.
She turned her head.
As she turned.
Suddenly, Xiao Jinxing made a move.
They were already sitting side by side.
Suddenly, Xiao Jinxing moved closer to her.
As An Ning turned her head suddenly.
Her lips accidentally brushed against Xiao Jinxing’s cheek.
To be precise, it was the corner of his mouth.
Xiao Jinxing was suddenly stunned.
He seed to turn to stone, frozen in place.
Their eyes t at close range.
Who knew who’s eyes were filled with a tinge of passion.
The only feeling, the breath heavy.
Heavier and heavier.
An Ning snapped back to reality.
And quickly cald herself down.
It was just an accident.
An accidental kiss, not sothing to overthink.
Still shouldn’t stir her heart and soul.
At most, just a physical... reaction.
A normal reaction between adults.
The body sotis, more honest than thoughts.
Especially after experiencing it.
The old Xiao Jinxing... truly was a scoundrel.
But the last ti.
Even though exhausted, she had to admit, Xiao Jinxing learned quite a bit at Qingfeng Building.
An Ning’s lips voluntarily left the corner of Xiao Jinxing’s mouth.
Just as she was about to speak.
Xiao Jinxing’s lips sealed hers imdiately.
And in that stunned mont of hers...
He kissed her deeply.
An Ning’s body tensed slightly.
She could distinctly feel Xiao Jinxing’s heat and urgency.
Had he held back too long?
To be so, uncontrollable.
An Ning was pushed down onto the bed by Xiao Jinxing.
She lay amidst the crimson bedspread, her bridal gown equally radiant, accentuating her fair skin, simply a fatal allure.
Especially with those slightly dazed eyes now, swollen lips, along with the heaving chest...
"Zhao Feihong wasn’t wrong," Xiao Jinxing whispered by An Ning’s ear.
As An Ning thought he would strip her bare.
He only leaned in by her ear to speak with her.
An Ning had to admit a sudden surge of disappointnt in her heart.
The world of adults isn’t easy.
Easily deceived by the body...
"You truly are a fox demon," Xiao Jinxing’s breath was scalding, "Or else how could you enchant to lose my senses..."
The dog Emperor, since when was he so good with sweet talk.
And so adept at, enticing.
An Ning closed her eyes.
Her heart, however, kept pounding.
Indeed.
She had fallen!
Fu Xingyi, what do you say I should do?!
Push him away?
Impossible to push away.
Because he’s the Emperor.
Because, she also desired it.
If she didn’t push him away.
Her heart would feel oppressed.
Feeling like betraying you.
Passive acceptance and wanting it, are really different.
When did she start having expectations from Xiao Jinxing?
The person she should least expect from.
Now yet hoping, he could do sothing for her.
Do sothing for her body.
An Ning’s soft body, slightly trembling beneath Xiao Jinxing.
"Don’t be afraid." Xiao Jinxing’s magnetic restrained yet inexplicably seductive voice whispered in her ear, "I won’t touch you."
"..." An Ning just felt like a cold shower suddenly drenched her.
She opened her eyes to look at him.
Watching the intense desire in Xiao Jinxing’s eyes, so deep, so strong.
In the next mont.
Xiao Jinxing got off An Ning.
Left without looking back.
Leaving with one parting comnt, "I need to cool down."
Then suddenly just left.
Slipped away right under An Ning’s stunned gaze.
An Ning stayed silent for a long ti.
Without his scorching warmth, there was only intangible cold air.
For a long ti.
An Ning suddenly gave a cold smile.
The dog Emperor truly never let him down.
Riling her up to no end, then leaving...
Just left, like that!
An Ning closed her eyes.
Steady breathing.
Desire slowly diminished, while her anger inexplicably intensified.
After a while.
The Palace Attendants approached respectfully, "Your Majesty, His Majesty asked to help Your Majesty change and bathe."
"Mm." An Ning responded.
Then rose with the Palace Attendants, going to bathe, gradually settling her mood.
She erged dressed in a red nightgown.
Outside the screen, Xiao Jinxing had also changed into a red nightgown, sitting on the bed seeming to wait for her.
An Ning frowned.
What is he up to now?!
Does he find playing with her so amusing?
"On the wedding night, it’s customary to sleep together, not in separate rooms," Xiao Jinxing explained.
