Chapter 372: No Day Choosing
When Ye Jintang brought clothes to Xiao Mo, he bumped into Xiao Mo head-on and the clothes in his hands fell to the ground.
"Oh, it all fell to the ground and got dirty?"
Ye Jintang, who only noticed the clothes on the ground, did not realize that she had been embraced by Xiao Mo.
"Just a few clothes. I have more important things to do right now."
Xiao Mo picked up Ye Jintang like a princess and walked towards the inner room.
"My Lord, what are you doing?"
"Consummation of marriage."
Xiao Mo answered very quickly, without any hesitation.
"The prince's leg disease."
"It's all right now."
Ye Jintang, who was held tightly in Xiao Mo's arms, had a flushed face. She wanted to struggle, but he suddenly did this and she was a little nervous.
"Your Majesty, didn't you say you would check the date and give me a perfect wedding night?"
"Today is a good day. I'll light the candles in a moment."
Xiao Mo made up his mind that he had to get everything done today. He was determined not to endure it any longer, lest he cause more trouble.
Luzhu, who was in the outer room, suddenly heard Xiao Mo asking her to take out all the red candles she had prepared last time and light them, and she understood what was going on.
So when Xiao Mo put Ye Jintang on the bed and lowered the bed curtains, big red wedding candles had already been lit in the room, and Lu Zhu even hung a big wedding character in the room.
Everything happened too suddenly, and yet everything seemed to happen naturally.
Ye Jintang looked up at the excited Xiao Mo and finally let go of the last bit of resistance in his heart.
"I'm a little nervous, what should I do?"
"I have everything."
Xiao Mo gently kissed Ye Jintang's forehead, pulled the quilt over them both, and the darkness briefly covered her blushing face.
Luzhu and Lianqiao stayed in the outer room together, and they hardly slept that night.
In the room, Xiao Mo called for water three times. The two maids were busy making the beds and carrying hot water to the ear room, and they almost collapsed from exhaustion.
There was finally no noise in the room in the second half of the night, and the two of them asked other maids to come and serve them.
The next day, Xiao Mo rarely got up early to go out, but since he didn't go out, Ye Jintang couldn't sleep either, so she asked for water again early in the morning.
"I am so tired."
Ye Jintang curled up in Xiao Mo's arms, feeling extremely tired all over, as if she had climbed Mount Huashan last night and her legs were shaking early in the morning.
"I'll sleep with you."
"No."
"I promise not to do anything else."
"Go and do your own thing. You don't have to accompany me."
Now Ye Jintang didn't believe Xiao Mo's nonsense. If he didn't leave, she wouldn't be able to sleep well for the whole morning.
He had been a monk for many years and had finally started eating meat. She didn't believe that he could just sleep with her under the covers.
"You really don't need me to accompany you."
Xiao Mo's big hand fell on Ye Jintang's slender waist again, frightening her so much that she held his dishonest hand tightly and said firmly, "No need, you just came back yesterday, there must be a lot of things to do in the palace, go and get busy."
After Ye Jintang's repeated urging, Xiao Mo reluctantly left.
"My lady, are you going to get up?"
When Luzhu saw Xiao Mo leave, she came into the house to serve him.
"Get up, I'm so hungry. I'll serve you food after I wash up."
"Yes."
Ye Jintang didn't have dinner last night and had done so much physical work that his stomach was already growling with hunger.
Luzhu brought clothes to Ye Jintang, and she was very sharp-eyed and noticed the blue and purple marks on her waist.
"My lady, you are injured."
Ye Jintang realized it later and discovered the fingerprints on her waist.
Her skin was delicate to begin with, so she couldn't withstand the torment from a rough man like Xiao Mo. Not only did she have bruises on her waist, but also on other private parts.
Ye Jintang's face flushed red, and he cursed Xiao Mo's ancestors in his heart. Hasn't he ever seen a woman? Why was he so heavy-handed?
"My lady, I'll go get the ointment."
Lu Zhu took the ointment with great heartache and gently applied it on the bruises. Ye Jintang's old face turned red as if blood was about to drip out. It was so embarrassing.
"You have to keep this a secret for me, Luzhu. You must not tell anyone."
"Your Highness, you should also persuade the prince to be gentler."
"Ah."
After quickly getting dressed, Ye Jintang, who was very tired, did nothing but drink a glass of spring water to relieve his fatigue.
If this continued every day, she felt she would not be able to survive.
After drinking the spring water and eating breakfast, Ye Jintang finally came to his senses.
"Lianqiao, go get some pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
She still had a lot of medical books to write, so she took advantage of the free time these few days to write them down.
It will take some time to write and print the medical book. I hope everything can be done before the end of the year.
Almost everyone who came in and out of Ye Jintang's room in the morning had a faint smile on their face. Even Aunt Zhang, who was usually serious, smiled when she came to see her.
It’s easy to guess why everyone is so happy.
"Lüzhu, bring the golden melon seeds. Ten golden melon seeds for each person who serves in the house, and ten silver melon seeds for each person who serves in the Wutong Courtyard."
"Yes, I will bring the servants in Wutong Courtyard to thank Her Majesty for the reward."
After receiving the order, Luzhu ran away happily.
Ye Jintang, who was writing a medical book, couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips slightly. Everyone around her was happy for her and Xiao Mo to consummate their marriage, so she naturally couldn't let them down.
Ye Jintang wrote medical books very quickly. In just half a morning, she had finished most of the book.
Near noon, Xiao Mo came on time to have lunch with her.
"Your Majesty, your leg disease has already healed, why are you still holding a cane?"
Ye Jintang looked at Xiao Mo with some confusion. It seemed that the cane in his hand was replaced with a new one, which was inlaid with a pure gold dragon head handle.
"It is not appropriate to announce to the world that my leg disease has healed yet. I will do so when the time is right."
"Ah."
Ye Jintang responded casually. She probably guessed Xiao Mo's intention. Although Ningchuan Prefecture was his fiefdom, he had only taken over for a short time and did not have many soldiers available. If the news that his leg illness had healed came out at this time, neither Noble Consort Dehui nor Emperor Jing would be able to sit still.
There is a difference between being crowned a king with a disability and being crowned a king with a healthy body.
The two sat down to have lunch together. Xiao Mo did not go out in the afternoon and stayed with Ye Jintang again.
"Is the prince free?"
"It's okay. I handed over all the tasks at hand. Now I just want to carve the doll quickly."
Xiao Mo took out the doll. The doll's face had been almost carved, and Ye Jintang could tell at a glance that it was her.
However, the clothes on the doll were not delicate enough, so Xiao Mo took the carving knife and slowly and carefully carved them without rushing.
"I have checked all the cotton cloths that the prince gave me. They are all relatively cheap coarse cloths."
"Have you found anything?"
Xiao Mo put down the puppet in his hand and looked at Ye Jintang seriously.
"The production process of the coarse cloth is slightly poor, but judging from the cotton thread, the cotton quality of Ningchuan Prefecture is still very good."
"That's right. When I confiscated the Song family in Yushan City, I found a large amount of cotton and coarse cloth. I felt really sad when I saw the high-quality cotton being made into cheap coarse cloth."
Speaking of the coarse cloth, Xiao Mo couldn't help but sigh, his heart full of regret.
