Chapter 213 The strange yin and yang
Jin Chu took the wine glass handed to him by Su Cheng'an. The two crossed their arms, tilted their heads slightly, and drank the wedding wine together.
At this point, the ceremony is complete.
Su Cheng'an looked at Jin Chu with a satisfied smile. Just as he was about to speak, a young man's voice called out from outside the door: "Young Master, have you been bewitched by that beautiful girl? The brothers are waiting for you to come out and drink with them!"
Everyone in the room started laughing too.
Su Cheng'an looked embarrassed and said to Jin Chu in a gentle voice, "Are you hungry, Jin? Ask them to bring some porridge over later."
Jin Chu nodded, but before he could open his mouth, someone else took the initiative.
"Oh! Second brother really loves his sister-in-law."
Chen pulled at her handkerchief and smiled with a rather unwilling smile, her words filled with sourness, "When I first married into the palace, no one remembered to send me a funeral meal."
Jin Chu glanced at his sister-in-law indifferently, then looked up at Su Cheng'an.
She just didn't believe that with Su Cheng'an's arrogant personality, he would be willing to endure his sister-in-law's secret ridicule again and again on such a happy day.
Sure enough, the next moment, Su Cheng'an frowned slightly and glared coldly at his eldest sister-in-law, whose position was unclear. "Sister-in-law didn't get to eat the wedding feast on her wedding day. You should blame your eldest brother for not being considerate enough. Why should I, Ajin, starve like you? I'm not your eldest brother, and Ajin is not you. Why does your sister-in-law have to compare us and get angry with me for no reason?"
Everyone around lowered their heads to suppress their laughter. Even Mother Zhao pursed her lips and felt instantly happy.
A bastard's daughter-in-law who is not favored by the princess actually dares to cause trouble for the prince's wife again and again. Does she really think that the prince is made of clay?
Chen's body stiffened and her face turned red instantly. She clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hands, and her fingertips turned white.
Jin Chuxin thought: If that handkerchief was Su Chengan's face, it would have been torn into pieces by now!
"Second brother, what are you saying—" After a moment of silence, Chen uttered a few words unwillingly, but was interrupted by the urging voice outside the door.
"My Lord, why haven't you come out yet? Procrastination is not your style. If you don't come out soon, the brothers will come to invite you personally!"
As he was speaking, he heard footsteps coming towards him.
Su Chengan glanced outside the door and said quickly to Jinchu: "Ajin, take a rest for a while. If you have anything, just tell the girls. I'll be back soon!"
Jin Chu nodded and said with concern: "Go ahead! Drinking too much is harmful to your health, so be careful."
Su Cheng'an smiled at his sweetheart and strode away. When he passed by his sister-in-law Chen, he didn't even bother to glance at her.
Chen's sarcastic tone just now caused most of the people who were watching the fun in the room to leave. Now, with the departure of the groom, the bridal chamber suddenly became quiet.
Jin Chu sat by the bed, watching her nose and her heart, quietly playing the role of a bride, and ignored Chen who was beside her.
Embarrassed, Chen couldn't stay any longer, so she made up an excuse and left in a hurry.
As soon as she left, Mother Zhao gave some instructions to Yu Xing and Yu Cheng, then picked up the tray and went to report to Princess Du.
As soon as the door was closed, the noise outside suddenly disappeared, and only Jin Chu, his master and his servant were left in the bridal chamber.
Jin Chu's dignified posture suddenly disappeared, and she slumped down at the head of the bed. She reached out and rubbed her waist, which was slightly sore from sitting upright for a long time, and she let out a sigh of satisfaction.
I've been busy since I got up early, and now I can finally relax for a while.
Seeing her daughter slumped on the bed, Yu Cheng hurriedly and carefully reminded her, "Miss, please sit up slowly! The prince has asked the kitchen to make you some shredded chicken noodles, which should be delivered later."
"It's okay, let the girl rest for a while. My husband is out, and there are only three of us in the room now. I'll go to the door and keep an eye on the girl. Sister, you stay with the girl and call her when someone comes."
"Then you better be smart and look further ahead. Don't wait until someone is right in front of you before you notice."
Yu Cheng worriedly told Yu Xing that she would be careful. Yu Xing replied as they walked, "Don't worry, sister. I will pay attention to it."
Jin Chu listened to the conversation between the two maids and slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
"Girl, girl!"
Jin Chu opened his eyes and sniffed deeply. A rich aroma of rice hit him. His stomach growled and hunger followed.
Yu Xing was amused by her, revealing two cute little canine teeth, "Miss, please get up and have some food!"
Jin Chu turned his gaze to the window. The yard was already brightly lit. The bright moon hung high in the night sky not far away, and there was a faint glow of stars all around.
"What time is it now?"
"Two quarters past midnight." Yu Cheng brought her some warm water to wash her hands. Seeing Jin Chu's tiredness disappear, she smiled with satisfaction: "Miss, you rested for half an hour, and now you look much more energetic."
"I also feel refreshed after waking up."
Jin Chu smiled as she sat down at the table, where the food had already been laid out. A bowl of steaming hot shredded chicken noodles, a bowl of soft and delicious ginseng and poria cocos rice porridge, a dish of pickles, and a few delicate pastries were placed beside it.
After being busy for most of the day, Jin Chu was already starving. When he saw the food in front of him, his appetite immediately increased.
She was about to eat heartily when Yu Cheng reminded her gently, "Young lady, eat slowly. It's getting late. Be careful not to eat too much and it will be hard to digest."
Su Cheng'an will be coming over later, so it's really not appropriate to eat too much.
Jin Chu nodded and gave up the idea of eating a lot.
She pointed at the bowl of delicious and fragrant shredded chicken noodles and pitifully assured Yu Cheng, "I won't touch anything else. Can I just eat this bowl of noodles tonight?"
Yucheng pushed the bowl of noodles towards Jinchu, and she couldn't wait to start eating.
A bowl of steaming hot shredded chicken noodles greatly comforted Jinchu's stomach. She stood up contentedly and began to look around.
The exquisitely crafted Huanghuali eight-step bed is engraved with auspicious patterns representing prosperity and many children. A quilt embroidered by a skilled embroiderer, embroidering a hundred children and grandchildren, is spread on the large bed.
There is a large, well-made wardrobe with top boxes at the end of the bed, and a chaise longue opposite the bed.
A lacquered dressing table carved with auspicious dragons and phoenixes and inlaid with mother-of-pearl stood quietly under the window sill not far away.
The overall layout looks simple yet not simplistic, convenient and elegant.
Jin Chu was satisfied, Su Cheng'an had good aesthetic taste!
Her eyes fell on the longans and peanuts scattered on the bedside. She picked up a longan, peeled it, and was about to put it in her mouth when she heard footsteps outside the door.
"Girl, the prince is here!"
After Yu Xing said this to Jin Chu, she and Yu Cheng quickly stood neatly at the door, one on each side, respectfully and nervously welcoming the male host of their house.
Ever since Jinchu entered the Gao family, Mrs. Tian sent the two of them to serve Jinchu.
After several months of getting along, Jinchu was very satisfied with these two innocent and attentive girls. After asking for their opinions, Jinchu went to Mrs. Tian to ask for the two girls.
Mrs. Tian nodded without hesitation, and immediately gave their indentures to Jinchu. The two of them then followed Jinchu into the palace as his personal maids.
They both liked Jinchu very much before, and now that she has grown up as a girl, she is even more devoted to Jinchu.
Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, Jin Chu couldn't help but feel a sense of nervousness and novelty.
