Chapter 1154 Wedding Night
Chapter 1154 Wedding Night
The Regent's Palace was brightly decorated and filled with a joyous atmosphere.
From the main gate all the way to the new house at the very back.
The entire route was covered with thick, brand-new red carpets.
On both sides of the carpet, every three steps there was a pair of huge dragon and phoenix wedding candles.
The entire palace was illuminated as brightly as day.
A faint, festive sandalwood scent filled the air.
Lin Zhen and Murong Yan, hand in hand, slowly walked into the bridal chamber that had been carefully prepared for them, surrounded by a group of palace maids and nannies.
The new house was even more luxurious.
The floor was covered with the finest pure wool carpet from Persia.
Hanging on the wall is a painting of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix by Wu Daozi, a master painter from the previous dynasty.
On the table is a dragon and phoenix wedding cup, carved from a single piece of Hetian jade.
Even on that huge wedding bed, wide enough for seven or eight people to lie down.
The quilts and pillows were all made of Tianshan snow silkworm silk.
The entire room exuded a strong royal atmosphere.
And an intoxicatingly sweet aroma.
"Alright, you may all leave now." Lin Zhen waved to the palace maids and nannies who had followed her in.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The palace maids bowed and then retreated silently like the tide.
And considerately, they closed the heavy, carved wooden door for them.
"Squeak-"
The wooden door slowly closed.
The entire room fell silent instantly.
Only two hearts remained, pounding wildly with tension and anticipation.
The atmosphere became somewhat subtle at this moment.
It was also a bit awkward.
Although they were already the closest lovers in the world.
But a wedding night like tonight, in the truest sense.
This was the first time for all of them.
Murong Yan sat on the edge of the bed, head down, her hands nervously twisting the hem of her clothes.
That stunningly beautiful face, which was incomparably majestic during the day.
Two beautiful rosy clouds had already risen above the sky.
Looking at her shy yet adorable appearance, Lin Zhen's love for her grew even stronger.
He smiled and walked over, sitting down next to her.
Then he reached out and gently pulled her into his arms.
“My Queen,” his voice was husky yet magnetic, “what? Now you’re shy?”
"I...I didn't..." Murong Yan's voice was barely audible, and she didn't even dare to lift her head.
"Not yet?" Lin Zhen chuckled softly, reaching out to gently lift her delicate chin, forcing her to look him in the eye.
"Then why is your face as red as a monkey's bottom?"
"You...you're the monkey's butt!" Murong Yan said, feeling both embarrassed and angry, and lightly punched his chest.
The force was weak and feeble; it was less like hitting him and more like a blow.
It's more like she's being coquettish.
Lin Zhen looked at her phoenix eyes, which had become watery with shyness.
I felt like I was about to drown in this gentle ocean of water.
He could no longer control himself.
He lowered his head to kiss her.
"Wait...wait!" Just as his lips were about to touch hers, Murong Yan suddenly reached out and pressed against his chest.
"Wh...what's wrong?" Lin Zhen froze, looking at her with some confusion.
"I... the phoenix crown on my head is too heavy..." Murong Yan said softly, her face flushed.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhen finally realized what was happening.
He looked at her head, at the magnificent phoenix crown made of ninety-nine pearls and thousands of gemstones.
It's also a matter of laughing and crying.
This phoenix crown was specially commissioned by him to showcase her nobility, and no expense was spared in its creation.
It's better now.
It turned out to be the biggest obstacle to their intimacy.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's my fault." He quickly raised his hands in surrender.
Then, he carefully helped her remove the heavy phoenix crown.
Then came that intricately decorated robe adorned with a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix.
When the last restraint was also removed.
Murong Yan finally let out a long sigh of relief.
At this moment, she was only wearing the Phoenix Descent Dress, which served as her only nightgown.
No longer, the phoenix coronet and embroidered robe are gone.
She lost some of her former regal authority.
It added a touch of languidness and charm characteristic of young women.
The extremely dark Suzhou brocade fabric shone brightly in the ambiguous glow of the red candlelight flickering in the bridal chamber.
It seemed to have transformed into the softest, smoothest black satin.
It clung tightly to her exquisite and perfect figure.
It made her fair skin, which was as white as snow, appear even more translucent and delicate.
The giant phoenix embroidered with real gold thread seemed to be infected by this ambiguous atmosphere as well.
It has withdrawn all its light.
All that remained in her phoenix eyes was a hazy, intoxicating spring scene.
The five-zhang-long (approximately 10 meters) long, dark gold Suzhou brocade train stretched from the edge of the bed all the way to the other end of the room.
Like a black and gold ocean dyed with the colors of spring.
It enveloped the entire room in an atmosphere filled with desire and sweetness.
Lin Zhen looked at the stunningly beautiful woman before him, a woman whose beauty almost took his breath away.
I felt like all the blood in my body was burning wildly!
He was unwilling to wait even a second longer!
He let out a low growl, like a tiger that hadn't eaten for three days and three nights.
He suddenly pounced on her and threw her down onto the huge wedding bed, which was covered with rose petals.
"Yan'er..."
His voice was so hoarse it was unrecognizable.
"I love you……"
"Um……"
Murong Yan closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly like butterfly wings.
She stretched out her arms, which were as white as jade lotus roots.
She clung tightly to his neck.
She responded to him with the most passionate and affectionate kiss.
Red candles flicker.
Springtime is in full bloom.
This night was destined to be a sleepless one.
It is also a brand new beginning for them.
......
The next day.
The sky is bright.
A mischievous ray of sunlight peeked through the cracks in the window frame and quietly climbed onto the large, luxurious wedding bed.
Murong Yan's long eyelashes trembled slightly.
Then, she slowly opened her eyes.
What catches the eye is an enlarged image of a handsome sleeping face that makes one's heart race.
Lin Zhen is still asleep.
His breathing was even and long.
That face that usually carried a hint of laziness and unruliness.
Bathed in the morning light, it appears exceptionally quiet and gentle.
It lacked some of the regent's domineering nature.
She now possessed a tenderness that belonged solely to her, a tenderness from her husband.
Murong Yan's heart instantly melted.
She just stared at him, mesmerized.
It's as if I can never get enough of looking at it.
She carefully reached out, wanting to trace his perfectly sculpted features.
But her fingertips had not yet touched his cheek.
His deep eyes, like the stars and the sea, suddenly opened.
Eyes facing each other.
The air was instantly filled with an indescribable sweetness and warmth.
"Good morning, Your Majesty the Queen."
Lin Zhen's voice was slightly hoarse from just waking up.
Yet it is filled with a doting affection that makes people want to indulge in it.
Murong Yan's face flushed red again with a "boom".
The crazy and shameful images from last night flooded her mind like a tidal wave.
