Chapter 921: Chapter 921: Can’t Hold Back Anymore
The Princess Consort performed the ritual gracefully, "Prince, please calm your anger. The wedding dress I’m wearing was bestowed upon me by the Empress, and she instructed that it must be worn today. I dare not disobey."
Mentioning the Empress, the Silent Prince couldn’t find any fault with it.
The Princess Consort spoke up to smooth things over, "Since it was bestowed by Mother, the Princess Consort doesn’t breach etiquette. It’s getting late; hurry and perform the ceremony, so as not to delay the auspicious hour."
The consort, after all, still wasn’t qualified to perform the wedding ceremony. As the head of the Silent Prince’s Royal Residence, she wouldn’t allow any opportunity for them to manipulate things like the wedding dress, so everything had to proceed according to the specifications for taking a concubine.
Then, a maidservant served tea, the Princess Consort first offered tea to the Silent Prince, then to the Princess Consort.
The Princess Consort wondered if her eyesight was failing. She felt that when offering tea, the Princess Consort’s gaze through the veil of red sand seemed a bit off, making her suddenly feel a chill down her spine.
After it ended, the Silent Prince entertained guests at the front, while Ye Jiu escorted the Princess Consort back.
On the way, the Princess Consort spoke, "I always feel that this Princess Consort is not right, making people uneasy. Jiujiu, stay away from her in the future, don’t let yourself suffer."
"Don’t worry, Mother. There aren’t many people who can make me suffer," Ye Jiu said.
It turns out she wasn’t the only one who felt this Princess Consort was off!
At night, as the Silent Prince was about to go to the main courtyard, the elderly eunuch sent by the old Emperor stopped him, "Prince, the Emperor said you must give the Princess Consort a chance to bear a Princely Heir, right?"
The Silent Prince replied with a sarcastic smile, "Father’s concern is wide indeed, he doesn’t even spare my personal affairs."
The elderly eunuch dared not speak recklessly, offending nobody, he merely extended his hand, "Please, Prince."
He had to watch the Prince drink the Joyous Union Wine before he could leave.
Taking a concubine naturally didn’t require so many steps, but this concubine was different, so she had to be treated differently.
Looking at the elderly eunuch, resisting the urge to beat him up, the Silent Prince could only go to the bridal chamber.
Damn, once he gained the position of Crown Prince, he would surely vent his anger thoroughly.
The elderly eunuch personally poured the Joyous Union Wine, watching the Silent Prince and the consort drink it before feeling at ease to leave.
Back at the Imperial Palace, the eunuch reported to the old Emperor, "I personally poured the wine and saw the Silent Prince drink it."
The old Emperor nodded with satisfaction and made a secret gesture. The elderly eunuch suddenly felt a chill on his neck and was promptly dragged away.
Inside the Royal Residence, just as the Silent Prince was about to leave after the elderly eunuch departed, the Princess Consort suddenly knelt down and spoke, "Prince, tomorrow someone from the palace will come to inspect me. I earnestly plead for the Prince to stay."
Inspection, this wasn’t the first time the Silent Prince had consummated, he certainly knew how they inspect.
Initially, he felt some reluctance regarding the upcoming arrangements, but afterward, when he noticed his body getting increasingly hot, with a unique impulse in his heart, he immediately understood what was happening.
Seeing the escalating ire unable to be suppressed, with the Princess Consort’s touches—deliberate or accidental—the flame within grew stronger, angered the Silent Prince completely.
Yet within his heart lay reason, as matters had progressed to this point, and patience was exercised to bring her into the residence, he could not let all the efforts go to waste.
Therefore, the Silent Prince suppressed the nausea, saying, "I need to use the restroom, let go first."
"Will you return, Prince?" The Princess Consort’s voice tender and weak, her body soft like no bones, her inquiry rather alluring.
"Of course, hurry and let go, I can barely hold it anymore," urgent the Silent Prince spoke.
