Chapter 313 The night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber

Zhou Chang was just annoyed, but everyone else was horrified.

Everyone knows what happened today and everyone is worried.

Aunt Jing was also worried. She winked at Nanny Duan and the others and tried to smooth things over: "This is the first time for the prince, so he is bound to be nervous. It will be even more uncomfortable with so many of you watching. You should go down."

Nanny Duan didn't dare to say anything more. She gestured to the two bridesmaids behind her to stay and take care of the situation, and the rest of the people withdrew as well.

"Everyone go away, including the bridesmaid. No one should eavesdrop on the room." The person Zhou Chang wanted to drive away the most was the bridesmaid.

Unexpectedly, Prince Yi also understood this. The two bridesmaids were shocked and did not dare to stay. They followed Nanny Duan out.

Zhou Chang has never figured out how to face Yuan Qi. Although she did not mean to do it, she has caused the current situation after all.

But now that I'm here, I have to face it. I took a deep breath, walked forward and opened the door.

As the door opened, hot air rushed in.

Two maids in pink clothes stood in front of him, one on the left and one on the right. One of them was Lu Ju, and the other one was named Lu Ping, which Zhou Chang also remembered from He Xi's memory.

The two are Yuan Qi's personal maids. One is extroverted and helps Yuan Qi with external affairs, while the other is introverted and helps Yuan Qi with internal affairs.

Lu Ju and Lu Ping knelt down at the same time and said, "Your Highness Prince Yi, your Highness is very happy."

Zhou Chang walked into the hall and looked around.

A warm fragrance permeated the air. Prince Yi's bedroom had been completely renovated, as if he were in a fairy palace.

The Yuan family took only a few days to decorate the entire house from inside to outside, and even changed the entire layout.

All the fine furniture and curtains, antiques, calligraphy and paintings are neither too many nor too few, and they all serve as a foil, exquisite and elegant without losing luxury.

Zhou Chang once went to Emperor Lin's Qianming Palace as a noble lady of Shen Ruirui. Except that it was a little bigger than this place, the interior decoration was not as good as this one.

"Ding, ding, ding..." The reminder sound of the viewpoint system placing orders kept ringing in my mind.

"Impossible." Zhou Chang shouted in his heart, and his already upset mood became even worse.

The viewpoint system still didn’t answer, it just placed the order.

Zhou Chang used the same method and pretended to hear nothing.

In the main hall, there were red lights, red candles, red curtains, and even the charcoal in the charcoal stove was burning brightly.

The left side also faces north. The original place where the bed was placed has been separated into a living room, and the bathroom behind the bed has been split into an independent room. The back window that Wen Qingyan knocked on in the afternoon should be on that side.

On the right hand side facing south, a gold-thread embroidered screen with a phoenix wearing a peony separates the main hall from the inner room, which is the bridal chamber for tonight.

Behind the screen, the red gauze curtain had not yet been lowered, but one could only see the red candlelight, and nothing else.

Zhou Chang turned to the screen and said calmly, "You guys go out too. We don't need you tonight."

"Yes." The two answered in unison. They must have heard the noise outside and knew they could not refute it.

The two of them left and closed the door from the outside.

Zhou Chang took a deep breath and prepared to enter the bridal chamber, only to find that Prince Yi's body was tense to the extreme.

Even the legs cannot bend, and they can only move forward like two chopsticks.

In the bedroom, there is a complete set of huanghuali furniture.

On the front is a bed with intricate carvings and patterns, and the golden-red bed curtains sparkle with golden-red light under the red candles.

Next to the bed, under the window on the left are the chaise longue and wardrobe, and on the right are the dressing table and flower rack.

In front of the bed, there was an octagonal table covered with a bright red brocade tablecloth, on which was laid a banquet, two red candles with dragon and phoenix patterns, and wine utensils.

In the past, Prince Yi's bedroom had nothing but the necessary furniture, but now it doesn't seem small even with so many pieces of furniture.

Zhou Chang's body was originally tense and stiff, and his feet stepped on the thick wool carpet. He felt as if he was stepping on clouds, floating in a dream.

Yuan Qi was wearing a bright red wedding gown and a red and gold wedding scarf on her head, sitting upright on the bed.

Hearing Zhou Chang's footsteps, his body seemed to move.

Zhou Chang walked up to Yuan Qi and stretched out his hand, but suddenly remembered that to lift the veil, one had to use a scale with a big red flower tied to it, which meant "being satisfied".

She turned around to look for the scale, but the eight-immortals table was full of items, but the scale she was looking for was missing.

After searching around for a while, he finally found the tray covered with red silk cloth on the storage table beside the bed.

I guess it was left there by the bridesmaid.

Zhou Chang picked up the scale bar, turned around, and was about to lift Yuan Qi's veil, but his hand involuntarily stopped in mid-air.

Lifting the veil is such an important matter. Is she really qualified to do so?

To lift or not to lift, that is the question.

Zhou Chang hasn't figured it out yet.

With a "whoosh", Yuan Qi suddenly lifted the veil himself.

Zhou Chang was so frightened that he dropped the scale.

An extremely beautiful face appeared before her eyes. Even though there were traces of tears on that face, Qiu Hong's bright eyes were still glistening with tears.

Somehow, a poem I have never read popped up in my mind: "The rouge fades with the rain, and the flowers are most charming when half-open.

Today, she finally saw what the crabapple blossoms looked like after the rain.

"Why did you lift your veil by yourself?" Although Zhou Chang said this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Yuan Qi seemed to have lost weight compared to two months ago when they met in the back garden under the Dafu Pagoda.

Yuan Qi raised his eyes, which were full of crystal light, and stared at Zhou Chang. When he opened his mouth, his originally clear voice was mixed with too many emotions: "Your Highness Prince Yi, if you are in trouble, there is no need to force it."

"Are you angry?" Zhou Chang didn't dare to look at Yuan Qi. He felt that the other party must be angry. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Yuan Qi didn't answer, but got down from the bed on his own. His legs were numb from sitting, and he almost fell down.

Zhou Chang helped him subconsciously.

Yuan Qi dodged calmly, standing tall, her phoenix crown and bridal robe gleaming brightly under the red candlelight, but it also seemed to represent the anger of her master.

Zhou Chang was forced by Yuan Qi's momentum and subconsciously took another step back. The guilt and self-blame he had felt for more than a month could no longer be suppressed: "I didn't mean it. I should have explained to you earlier, but due to etiquette, we can't meet. Listen to me, I..."

"No..." Yuan Qi also took a deep breath, as if he had reached the limit of his patience. He interrupted Zhou Chang before he could finish, "Your Highness Prince Yi, since you and I have been ordered to get married today, I must also make things clear."

"Ah, what do you want to say? Okay, you say..." Zhou Chang tried to force a friendly smile, but failed.

Unexpectedly, she was even more at a loss than Yuan Qi.

"Your Highness, please take a seat." Yuan Qi had the aura of a deep and majestic mountain.

Zhou Chang simply lowered his head and sat down next to the eight-immortal table as he was told.

Yuan Qi turned around and walked towards the dressing table, slowly sat down, and began to take off the phoenix crown and red hairpin on her head.

The phoenix crown was inlaid with gold, jade, pearls and emeralds. It was extremely gorgeous, but it made the absurdity of tonight even more apparent.

Zhou Chang originally admired Yuan Qi for being so calm and composed at this time, but when he saw her trembling hands and unable to take off the phoenix crown for a long time, he felt sad.
