Chapter 2247: Chapter 2155: The Grand Wedding (Part 4)
Xia Weibao breathed a sigh of relief; it’s good that he’s the only one here.
Taking advantage of the red veil’s cover, she continued to chew on the pastry in her mouth.
Lu Hualiang entered to see the person sitting on the bed swaying back and forth, unaware of what she was doing.
He chuckled softly as he approached, catching the faint scent of lilies.
Some pieces of lily cake on the table had been nibbled by some rat, which apparently was in a hurry, leaving crumbs everywhere.
With a doting smile, he thought, this girl must be starving today.
Taking the veil pole bound with a red thread, he gently lifted her red veil.
Xia Weibao looked up and was stunned.
The man was exquisitely handsome, looking down as if he was her whole world.
This was his most handsome moment.
Lu Hualiang also seemed a bit dumbfounded; the girl’s delicate face was like a flower, made even more lovely by the contrast of her red clothes.
However, when his gaze fell on her hand still holding half a lily cake, all romantic thoughts turned speechless.
"Very hungry?"
Xia Weibao nodded; how could she not be? From morning till night, she hadn’t eaten all day and was about to starve to death.
"Aren’t you hungry?" Xia Weibao retorted.
"It’s okay."
"Well, I’m starving. Getting married is just not a humanly possible task. I never want to get married again." Xia Weibao said as she walked to the table to continue filling her stomach.
Lu Hualiang twitched at the corner of his eye, "Next time?! How many times do you plan on getting married?"
Xia Weibao stuffed a piece of pastry into her mouth, saying indistinctly, "Not anymore, not even once."
Lu Hualiang: "..."
Does she have any awareness of being a wife?
To actually say something like this on the night of the wedding.
Seeing she was genuinely hungry, he shook his head and ordered someone to prepare a nighttime meal.
Snacks can’t fill a stomach properly, nor are they nutritious.
Soon, a table full of sumptuous dishes was brought up, and Xia Weibao ate with immense satisfaction.
Lu Hualiang sat next to her, thoughtfully picking food for her.
Yet he felt slightly helpless.
Spring nights are priceless, yet on such a precious wedding night, his empress was having a nighttime meal.
Surely this was the first time ever in history?
Xia Weibao felt comfortable after eating and drinking to her fill.
"Full?"
"Mm, very full." If it weren’t for keeping up appearances, she would’ve burped.
Lu Hualiang smiled mischievously; being full is good, otherwise tonight there wouldn’t be any energy for the wedding.
He sat closer, grabbed her arm, and pulled her into his embrace, letting her rest against his chest.
His large hand covered her small belly, gently massaging it.
"What are you doing?" Xia Weibao’s face flushed slightly, feeling a bit awkward with such intimate actions.
"Helping you digest."
Feeling stuffed was uncomfortable, so Xia Weibao let him, leaning comfortably.
She became so comfortable while being attended to that she actually fell asleep during the massage.
Lu Hualiang: "..."
This damn!
On the night of the wedding, it’s their wedding night!
She actually fell asleep, is this reasonable!
Feeling balled-up frustration, a certain emperor was irate.
No worries, let her have a short nap, build up energy; the night is long, there’s no rush.
Not rushed, not rushed at all. To hell with not rushed!
A certain emperor was utterly exasperated by a certain empress!
After massaging for half a Shichen, feeling she’d digested enough, Lu Hualiang stopped.
Xia Weibao awoke groggily, a bit perplexed, "Why did you stop?"
Please continue, it feels quite nice.
Lu Hualiang: "..."
Dare to ask such a question.
He poured two cups of wine, placing one in her hand, "Be good, drink this wine, and I’ll tell you why it stopped."
