Chapter 228 Movement
In her previous life, Shen Tang always thought that Xie Guimo liked to take cold showers, even in the middle of winter. It turned out to be her fault.
Shen Tang huddled in the quilt, feeling that he had committed a heinous crime.
The maid was on guard outside the door. When she saw Xie Guimo come out again, she was a little confused. Why did the prince come out every now and then? He was not like this before.
Could it be that he drank too much? He doesn't have to stay in the bathroom for so long.
Nanny Yun, who was beside the princess, came over, and the maid hurried to greet her. Nanny Yun asked, "Did the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess consummate their marriage?"
After asking this question, Nanny Yun felt that she was asking nonsense.
Considering the prince's eagerness to get married soon, it would be strange if he didn't consummate the marriage.
I don’t know what the princess is worried about, but she has to come and take a look before she feels at ease.
The maid shook her head, "I don't know if the marriage was consummated..."
Nanny Yun frowned, "How could I not know? There's no movement?"
The maid still shook her head. "We eavesdropped for a long time, but there was no movement. I was guarding outside, but I didn't hear anything either. The young master just went to the bathroom again."
Also, it means I have been there before.
Why did the Crown Prince keep going to the bathroom, leaving the Crown Princess alone in the new house late at night?
The marriage was arranged by the prince and princess. The prince was unwilling, so the princess's worry was understandable. It was the prince himself who wanted to marry the prince's wife. Nanny Yun would rather believe that Xie Guimo felt sorry for Shen Tang getting married. She was tired after a day and was afraid that she would be burdened again.
Nanny Yun waited in the yard for a while, but when Xie Guimo didn't come out of the bathroom, Nanny Yun left.
As soon as Nanny Yun left for a long trip, Xie Guimo came out of the bathroom.
He pushed the door open and entered the room, only to see Shen Tang sleeping soundly. He sighed and lay down in the outer room.
After lying down for a while, he hugged Shen Tang from behind, just like when he left.
Shen Tang was pretending to be asleep. She didn't even dare to move when being held. But if she didn't move, the person behind her couldn't control herself either. Shen Tang's face was burning with pain, and her breathing became tense. Xie Guimo said, "Can't sleep?"
It's not that she couldn't sleep, it's that she felt she should wait for him.
She turned over, facing him, and whispered, "I looked at the picture book last night. There are other ways. How about I help you..."
She stretched out her hand, and just as she was about to touch him, he grabbed it and brought it to his chest. His eyes were full of helplessness, "Stop torturing me, go to sleep."
Shen Tang was really sleepy. She curled up in his arms and found a comfortable position, and soon fell asleep.
The dragon and phoenix wedding candles were still burning. Xie Guimo looked at the person in his arms and stroked Shen Tang's hand. He didn't know how long it took before he fell asleep.
A good night's sleep.
Shen Tang slept so soundly that he didn't even have a dream.
She was not used to her bed, nor did she toss and turn in bed unable to sleep after marrying into a strange place. The people and places were familiar to her. She even knew the names of the maids, big and small, in Chenxiangxuan.
However, because she went to bed early, she woke up early as well, at least fifteen minutes earlier than usual. But when she woke up, she was the only one in the bed.
Hearing some movement in the room, Ginkgo and Qiutong brought in a copper basin to serve. Shen Tang sat on the bed and stretched, and asked, "When did he get up?"
Knowing that Shen Tang was asking about Xie Guimo, Ginkgo said, "The young master has been up for half an hour and has been practicing martial arts in the small courtyard behind the study."
Shen Tang knew that Xie Guimo had the habit of practicing martial arts in the morning, and he also practiced martial arts before going to bed at night in his previous life.
Needless to say, it’s because of her that I’m so diligent.
Feeling slightly uncomfortable in his stomach, Shen Tang quickly got out of bed and went behind the screen.
After taking the medicine for three months, my period is no longer as painful as before. It seems I need to take the medicine for another month or two to fully recover.
Shen Tang changed her soiled clothes behind the screen. Worried that they might get on the bed, she was about to ask Ginkgo to clean them up when someone entered the room. Ginkgo bowed and said, "Madam Yun..."
Why is Nanny Yun here?
Nanny Yun asked, "Where is the Crown Prince's Consort?"
Ginkgo looked behind the screen and said, "The Crown Princess is changing her clothes."
Shen Tang hadn't even finished putting on her clothes yet when she asked, "Madam Yun, is there something you want to ask?"
Nanny Yun smiled and said, "It's nothing, the princess just asked me to come and take a look."
Nanny Yun gave a wink, and the maid following behind her went to check the bedding.
The Yuanpa that was spread on the quilt was thrown into the corner, clean and tidy.
The maid showed it to Madam Yun, who frowned and whispered, "Check it again."
The maid went to turn over the bedding and found a few bloodstains on it, "Madam Yun..."
Nanny Yun took a look and then looked behind the screen with a smile on her face. "It's still early now. After the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince have breakfast, they can go to the old lady to offer tea. I will take my leave now."
Shen Tang responded, "Ginkgo, send Nanny Yun out."
As Madam Yun left, Madam Zhao scolded the maid, "What are you mumbling about so early in the morning?"
Seeing that one of the people being scolded was the maid who had been on night watch last night, Madam Yun asked, "What happened?"
Mother Zhao pulled Nanny Yun aside and whispered, "This maid is gossiping. She suspects that the Crown Prince and his wife didn't consummate their marriage last night..."
Nanny Yun said, "The marriage has been consummated."
Mother Zhao was surprised. "Did they consummate the marriage?"
Nanny Yun said, "There is blood, there is no doubt about it."
Mother Zhao hesitated to speak.
Nanny Yun asked, "What's wrong?"
Mother Zhao whispered, "The maid stayed up all night last night and didn't hear any movement coming out of the house..."
This room is not soundproof. If you speak louder inside, people outside can hear it.
It’s time to consummate the marriage, so there can’t be no movement at all.
Even if there is no person, there should be a bed.
Moreover, when the prince came out last night, he was obviously taking off his clothes, and the speculation that he was going to be silenced came to mind again.
Mother Zhao didn't dare to say that Xie Guimo was in poor health, and only told Nanny Yun everything she had eavesdropped on last night.
Nanny Yun felt like the sky was falling.
There is no movement, and they haven't even consummated the marriage. Isn't it obvious that the prince is not very capable?
After their wedding, the Crown Prince did not show affection to the Crown Princess, but was just as affectionate as usual. This was too abnormal.
Even though the prince was so self-disciplined, he still wasted a month when he married the princess.
Nanny Yun left in a hurry.
Such a big thing must not be hidden from the princess.
Nanny Yun left, and Shen Tang came out after changing into her dress. Ginkgo blushed and said, "Prince's Consort, Nanny Yun is here to check on Yuanpa..."
Shen Tang's heart skipped a beat.
The Yuanpa is clean, don't misunderstand her.
Shen Tang was extremely worried. When Xie Guimo came back, Shen Tang said, "Mrs. Yun just came to check on Yuanpa. What should we do?"
Xie Guimo said, "If mother asks, just tell the truth."
Shen Tang asked, "Are you sure you won't misunderstand me?"
Xie Guimo pinched Shen Tang's nose and said, "When you called me 'Mother', I was afraid that I would get pregnant with both of our children before I even married you."
Shen Tang, "..."
This was the most embarrassing thing Shen Tang had ever experienced in his two lives.
No one can mention it.
Especially being misunderstood like this.
Seeing Xie Guimo's malicious smile, Shen Tang raised her foot and stepped hard on his instep, causing Xie Guimo to say in pain, "Are you going to murder your husband just after you marry him?"
