Duke Jing's younger sister

Chapter 265 Wedding Night

Inside the house, candles and lights flickered, and red gauze curtains floated down like smoke, trapping the two in a small but warm space.

The candlelight shone through the gauze curtain, and the man's handsome silhouette, like a sculpture, could be vaguely seen.

He had taken off his wedding clothes and was wearing a scarlet silk undershirt. His dark eyes were like the deep night sky, sparkling with joy.

"When did you come back?"

Jiang Li rubbed her eyes and yawned lazily, "Why didn't Xingping and the others call me?"

"Isn't it the same if your husband comes to call you?" He said, and his large hand reached into the warm quilt, groping, and fell on the belt around her waist.

This extremely skilled action startled Jiang Li, and her sleepiness instantly disappeared. "What are you doing?"

She hurriedly pushed his hand away, "You forgot, this wasn't allowed three months ago."

Shen Beiqi put one hand on his knee and chuckled, "Are you sure you want to sleep in this heavy wedding dress?"

Jiang Li was startled and realized that she was still wearing her wedding dress.

"Then I'll take it off myself." She sat up and untied the belt around her waist.

Shen Beiqi smiled faintly and looked at her with interest.

Usually he took off her clothes for her, but this was the first time she took off her clothes in front of him.

After taking off an outer robe, her movements gradually slowed down. She raised her eyes to meet his burning gaze, "...You...you don't stare at me."

He raised his eyebrows slightly, "You are my wife, it is only natural for me to look after you."

Jiang Li: “…”

Forget it, she'll figure it out herself!

She looked back, lifted the quilt to cover herself in the darkness, and felt her way to unbutton her shoulders.

No one knows why, but women’s wedding dresses are like a thousand-layer cake, with three layers inside and three layers outside. They are difficult to put on and take off.

Also, why do the dragon and phoenix candles have to burn until dawn on the wedding night?

He didn't consider the woman at all. After all, darkness always gives people an inexplicable sense of security and makes them more relaxed.

She was complaining in her heart when suddenly a cool breeze blew from behind. Before she could react, there was another person in the quilt, lying on top of her.

"Is our little A-Li shy?"

The man chuckled softly, rubbing his large, warm hands over the smooth fabric, "I'll help you."

In the darkness, his movements were extremely gentle. His hands slid along the edge of the wedding dress, nimbly touching the buttons on his shoulders, and he gently unbuttoned them one by one.

He raised his hand, and the wedding dress passed through the gauze curtain, like a dancing butterfly, and gently fell to the ground.

The north wind howled and the lanterns in the corridor swayed.

The red charcoal in the cage under the house crackled, bringing with it an intense warmth.

The dragon and phoenix wedding candles were flickering in the sudden gust of wind, and their reflections on the softly fluttering red gauze were heart-stirring.

Until the end, Jiang Li couldn't even keep a piece of clothing.

"Brother..." She pushed him, and he pressed his palm against hers, clasping his fingers against her ears.

"Ari, it's time to change your words..."

He spoke in a hoarse voice, the moisture between men and women was under the brocade quilt and could not dissipate.

The wind was cold and the last snow of the year was falling in Jiangdu City. Small flakes of snow were flying in the wind, and soon the roofs were covered with a layer of white snow.

The red light from the Jingguo Mansion illuminated the sky, and in the Cuibai Hall, the sweat of the two people melted into one.

The quilt was already thick, but he pressed hard on her lips, causing her to toss and turn, almost making her dizzy and a little breathless.

She raised her hand and opened the quilt.

Maybe it was because tonight was their wedding night, or maybe it was because of the drinking, the situation was a little out of control.

His palm was as soft as water and kept moving. She felt weak all over and suddenly a question came to her mind.

"Shen Hengzhi..."

"Ah."

"You seem... good at it?"

Under the dim candlelight, his eyebrows were close to her, his thick eyelashes drooped slightly, and his misty eyes held her, "Do you know whether I have done it or not?"

"You're not always by my side." Jiang Li said softly.

"Which man wouldn't be good at dealing with the woman he loves?" Shen Beiqi laughed, "Not being good at dealing with her is an insult."

"quibble."

In fact, she just wanted to talk and distract him.

After all, if he continues, he will be the one who suffers and he will also be the one who holds it in.

She could feel how miserable he was.

He pulled his lips into a smile and repeated what he had just said, "It's time to change your words."

"Change your words?" Jiang Li pretended not to know, "What? I don't understand."

"Really don't understand?" He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "The baby will be born eventually, you should think it over before you speak."

Thinking of the way he "punished" her, her ears felt hot. She pretended to be calm and said, "We'll talk about the future later. Anyway, now I have a golden ticket to avoid death!"

"Very good!" Shen Beiqi raised his eyebrows and held her hand and moved it down.

When her fingertips touched something hot, she subconsciously pulled back.

"Help me," he said.

She put on a bitter face, "But I can't!"

Finally, Jiang Li raised her hands that were shaking from exhaustion and glared fiercely at the hateful man who was lying on the bed with his legs stretched out, feeling comfortable all over.

After the well-fed man cleaned himself up, he took her into his arms and said with a meaningful smile, "Come, come, let your husband rub you, but don't get too tired, you'll need it in the future."

Jiang Li: “…”

……

Because their wedding date is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, it is two days before New Year's Eve.

So during his wedding leave followed by annual leave, Shen Beiqi did not have to go to court for the time being.

Yang naturally knew that Jiang Li's pregnancy was unstable, so she skipped the greeting tea the next morning and only told the two of them to go to the ancestral hall to kowtow to their ancestors.

Jiang Li stood beside Shen Beiqi and knelt on the mat with him.

She looked at the person beside her and felt a little weird.

At the end of every year, she would come to the Shen family ancestral hall.

Sometimes when Shen Beiqi was around, he would worship first, and she and Shen Zhiyan would worship later. Sometimes, he couldn't even make it back for the New Year.

This is the first time I worship with him like today.

Jiang Li had been in a state of confusion these days, and it was not until this moment that she truly realized that she had married him.

Married Shen Beiqi and became his wife.

Noticing her gaze, he turned his head and smiled as he interlocked his fingers with hers. "In two days, when my second uncle and third uncle come, I will re-enter your name into the Shen family tree. From now on, you will be a member of my Shen family, and you will never be able to escape in this life."

Jiang Li tilted her head to look at him, and suddenly realized, "Last time you deliberately wanted to expel me from the family tree, so you wanted me to change my identity and come back?"

Shen Beiqi curled his lips and smiled, without commenting.

"So you've been planning this since that time!" Jiang Li said, "You really can't judge a person by his appearance."

"A gentleman loves a beautiful lady." The young man's eyebrows were curved, and his eyes were full of smiles. "Ari is a lady, so naturally a husband must pursue her."
