AFDPIRAB Chapter68

The next day, Yan Muning was awakened by the light coming in through the window.

 

The little prince was still not quite sober when he woke up. He closed his eyes and frowned, mumbling vaguely about why the sun was so bright today that even the bed curtains could not cover it.

 

The next moment, he realized in a daze that he didn’t seem to be sleeping on the familiar bed.

 

Realizing this, the little prince sat up from the bed with a “whoosh”. He stood up so quickly that his eyes went dark for a moment.

 

Looking closely, he was in his bedroom, but he was sleeping on a narrow couch by the window for some reason.

 

Just now, there was a window above his head, so it was no wonder that he was woken up by the abundant light in the early morning.

 

The little prince looked around in confusion. It seemed that he had drunk some wine at his son’s full-moon banquet yesterday… and then what?

 

The big beauty…

 

Ah, that’s right!

 

Why isn’t Yun Jiangli on the couch?

 

The somewhat large undergarment slowly slid down his shoulder. The little prince raised his hand to pull at the collar of his clothes, lowered his eyes, and saw that he was clean and refreshed and had changed into clean pajamas—

 

But these obviously ill-fitting pajamas belonged to Yun Jiangli.

 

And why was he hugging a fox fur coat on such a hot day? Was he trying to get a heat rash?

 

The little prince was even more confused. He didn’t drink much last night. Why did he not remember why he was sleeping on the narrow couch and wearing the big beauty’s undergarments? And why didn’t the big beauty sleep with him?

 

With many questions in mind, he leaned over to look at the bed and vaguely saw a figure behind the curtain.

 

The little prince jumped down from the narrow couch swiftly, ran to the bed in his shoes, opened the bed curtains, kicked off his shoes, and jumped in.

 

Yun Jiangli had just heard a sound when he was hit head-on by the youth.

 

“Cough, cough—”

 

Yun Jiangli, who was not prepared at all, covered his chest, which was hurt by the youth’s head, and said helplessly, “Are you trying to kill your husband so early in the morning?”

 

The little prince covered his sore forehead, smiled foolishly twice in the big beauty’s arms, and complained in a serious manner, “Why are you sleeping here comfortably and leaving me on the narrow couch?”

 

When Yun Jiangli mentioned this, he looked at the little prince with hesitation, wanting to tell him directly what it meant to put the blame on someone else.

 

However, when he was about to wake up, Yun Jiangli’s eyes were particularly deep, with a hint of fatigue, which made the little prince’s heart beat wildly.

 

The little prince went up to him and gave him a big kiss. His cheeks turned red first, and he said with twinkling eyes, “Ah Li, I like you so much.”

 

Yun Jiangli’s expression was even more indescribable.

 

God knows he had been patient for so long and finally waited until yesterday, but… he had been patient again.

 

As a result, this little thing that flirts with others without knowing it ran to him early in the morning to ignite the fire!

 

Yun Jiangli secretly clenched his fists, thinking about the sun, what should he do?

 

Before he could figure out what to do, the little prince lying on him seemed to have sensed something first. With a red face, he slowly moved himself away, supported himself on the bed, and knelt down obediently on the side. His round eyes flickered around, but he didn’t dare to look at him.

 

Yun Jiangli took a deep breath and asked, “Xiao Qi, do you still remember what happened last night?”

 

The little prince, whose heart was pounding, shook his head in confusion when he heard this.

 

“Wangye asked me last night whose beauty I was.”

 

Yun Jiangli was determined to bully the other party.

 

“Cough, cough, cough…”

 

The stunned little prince took a breath, coughed violently, and waved his hands frantically, refusing to admit that he had said this.

 

Yun Jiangli pressed on step by step and continued in a suppressed voice: “Wangye also praised me, this big beauty, for being quite sensible…”

 

Before he could finish his words, Yan Muning had already stretched out a hand to cover his mouth and said with a red face, stammering, “No, it’s impossible, Ah Li, you must have drunk last night.”

 

“Heh.”

 

The person whose mouth was covered chuckled, and the hot air swept across the palm of the little prince.

 

The little prince immediately felt as if he was burned and raised his hand to dodge.

 

Yun Jiangli continued to speak slowly and leisurely: “I’m afraid it’s not me who is drunk, Xiao Wangye.”

 

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Muning suddenly felt dizzy.

 

When he came to his senses again, he had already exchanged positions with the big beauty. He was lying on his back on the soft bed, and Yun Jiangli’s hands were supporting his side, looking down at him from top to bottom.

 

The little prince unconsciously raised his hand and covered his left chest, pressing hard. It was really…

 

It was beating too wildly there. He felt that if he didn’t press harder, it would burst through his thin chest.

 

Yun Jiangli looked at the youth’s increasingly red face, raised his hand, and pinched his small earlobe, and whispered, “That’s how you pushed me onto the narrow couch last night, Wangye, do you still remember?”

 

Yan Muning: “……”

 

I don’t remember, I don’t remember a damn thing, my mind is all a mess now.

 

The little prince now only felt that his earlobe, which had just been touched by the big beauty’s fingertips, was burning, and the heat was still spreading rapidly around.

 

“Then, then what?”

 

The little prince asked without thinking.

 

The moment he asked this question, he almost slipped his tongue and wanted to knock himself out.

 

Yun Jiangli watched the expressions on the youth’s face change, which was so vivid and interesting that he couldn’t help laughing.

 

The little prince felt itchy on his neck because of the tip of his hair hanging down, so he raised his hand and grabbed the hair.

 

“And then.”

 

Yun Jiangli deliberately whetted the little prince’s appetite and raised his hand to touch his nose: “Then you, a heartless little boy who lit a fire and didn’t care to put it out, fell asleep.”

 

“I carried you to take a bath, and I don’t know where you got so much strength to pull me into the bathtub.” Yun Jiangli couldn’t bear to recall the mess of last night.

 

The little prince’s face turned even redder, but he couldn’t help but smile.

 

“Are you quite proud?”

 

Yun Jiangli said helplessly, “I finally washed up and returned to the bedroom, but you insisted on wearing my undergarment before you would stop. After changing into it, you insisted on sleeping on the narrow couch. In such hot weather, you even forced Shiyi to get you a fox fur coat before you would stop.”

 

“Im, impossible. I’m not drunk. Even if I was drunk, I’ve always been very calm…”

 

The little prince argued somewhat powerlessly. Although the facts in front of him seemed to tell him that what the big beauty said was true, he just didn’t want to face it.

 

How can he face it? It’s so embarrassing!

 

He has lost all his dignity as Prince An!

 

Yun Jiangli, who paid no attention to his sophistry, moved closer. He asked seductively in a hoarse voice, “Xiao Wangye had been tormenting me for most of the night. How do you want to compensate me now?”

 

Yan Muning felt a presence next to his leg that could not be ignored. It was clear and hot even through two layers of thin undergarment.

 

This time, the little prince was embarrassed, not only was his face and ears red, but even the corners of his eyes were red. His moist eyes flickered, and he muttered softly, “You, what kind of compensation do you want? I, I, I will do whatever you want…”

 

So throughout the whole morning, no, almost the whole day, the little prince paid a very reasonable but somewhat painful price for his promise of “all up to you”.

 

.

 

The days passed quickly, especially after the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Astronomical Bureau selected the eighth day of the eighth lunar month as the date for Prince An’s wedding. The entire prince’s mansion and even the entire royal family were busy and joyous.

 

The complicated ceremonies were going on one by one, but the person involved didn’t seem to be busy because his lover was by his side.

 

So he didn’t seem to have any special expectations for the wedding, and he was immersed in the joy of raising a child every day.

 

Ah Can has become more and more adorable recently, and it is really hard to take one’s eyes off him.

 

He is a kid who doesn’t like to cry. He always has a stern face except when he sees his big father. He always smiles brightly when he sees other people.

 

Especially now that he is white and plump, his whole face is chubby. When he smiles, his pair of black, grape-like eyes bend into a line, almost squeezed by the fat on his face, which is really festive.

 

“Look at Ah Can’s little arms, they are even thicker than yours.”

 

Yan Muning held Ah Can in his arms, while Yun Jiangli sat beside him and patiently fed the child.

 

Only when eating would Ah Can smile at his big father.

 

At this moment, he seemed to have heard Yun Jiangli say that he was fat, and he stretched out his chubby hand in dissatisfaction and tried to hit the spoon in his big father’s hand.

 

The little prince not only did not stop but also helped the kid, smiling and saying, “Look, Ah Can complained that you said he was fat.”

 

Yun Jiangli can’t get mad at his two, one big and one small masters, and said helplessly, “I complained that you were too thin.”

 

Yan Muning lost weight rapidly after giving birth to Ah Can. He didn’t gain much weight during pregnancy, and now he seems to be even thinner than before he had the baby.

 

On his originally round face, two shallow dimples could be seen when he curled his lips, but now he was thinner and his chin was pointed.

 

Yun Jiangli was worried about his small body and thin waist, he couldn’t even bear to use too much force when they were intimate.

 

The little prince listened to the big beauty muttering about him every day, and he said rebelliously, “How can I be thin? Look at my strong arms!”

 

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, showing his slender white arms and gesturing.

 

Ah Can seemed to think that his little father was playing with him, and he stretched out his lotus-like white arms and gestured along.

 

Yun Jiangli didn’t say anything, he just smiled and signaled that the little prince should look at it himself with his eyes.

 

Yan Muning glanced at Ah Can, who was ruining his plan, silently withdrew his arm, and pouted unhappily.

 

He can’t even beat the kid, he has no face.

 

.

 

It was not until the day before the wedding that Yan Muning began to truly feel something different.

 

Because according to the rules, Yun Jiangli could not stay at Prince An’s mansion today. He had to return to his own mansion first, and Yan Muning would go to marry him tomorrow at an auspicious time.

 

Obviously this is the only day that they’re not together, but the little prince had to force himself to feel aggrieved about the separation.

 

Yun Jiangli looked at the youth who was pulling his sleeves and drooping his head and coaxed him helplessly: “Be obedient and follow the etiquette. Besides, I will officially be your princess consort tomorrow. Are you happy?”

 

The little prince raised his eyes and looked at him sadly, pouting his lips and refusing to say a word.

 

Yun Jiangli’s heart softened when he saw the youth’s eyes. He knew that the youth was not ignorant, but he had become more clingy since the incident in the North.

 

He raised his hand and pinched the youth’s pouting lips affectionately, then moved closer to tease him: “If Xiao Wangye is unwilling, how about you marry me, and you will be my young hall master’s wife?”

 

As expected, Yun Jiangli knew Yan Muning best. As soon as he said this, the little prince immediately let go of the hand that was holding the hem of his clothes: “Ah Li, wait for me to welcome you into the mansion tomorrow.”

 

As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved, almost pushing the person out the door.

 

August is the best season in the capital, it’s not too cold or too hot, it’s sunny, and there’s not much rain.

 

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Prince An’s mansion was decorated with lanterns and red silk and wedding characters. The little prince changed into elaborate wedding clothes early in the morning with the help of Shiyi and Chen Mo and waited for the auspicious time to arrive to go to Yun Mansion in the capital to pick up his beloved.

 

Ah Can, wearing a red jacket, smiled at everyone he met and was very likable.

 

Although he didn’t understand why there were so many people today, but the little boy who liked the hustle and bustle seemed particularly excited.

 

Especially when he saw his pretty little father, he was so excited that he wanted to learn how to run.

 

As the ceremonial official announced the auspicious time for the wedding, Yan Muning suddenly felt a long-awaited nervousness when he mounted his horse in front of the mansion.

 

The wedding procession passed through the street and slowly approached the Yun Mansion. The little prince’s heartbeat became faster and faster. When he saw the red plaque on the Yun Mansion’s door from afar, the corners of his lips could not help but rise.

 

Originally, the little prince always felt that he and Ah Li had been together for a long time, so he had never felt that the wedding would be any different. Until this moment, he truly felt satisfied.

 

He finally did what he said.

 

His Ah Li, his big beauty, would be the Princess Consort An from today on.

 

The little prince dismounted neatly in front of the Yun Mansion, entered the main gate, stood in front of Yun Jiangli, looked up at his beloved, and said with a smile, “Ah Li, I am here to marry you!”

 

Yun Jiangli looked at the youth in front of him, who was wearing a bright red wedding dress. He had bright eyes and white teeth, and his smile was as bright as the stars.

 

He looked back at the youth with a firm and gentle look and said in a deep voice with a smile, “Why did you come just now? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

 

As they were both men, there was no need to sit in a sedan chair or lift the veil. After paying respects to Old Hall Master Yun, the two newlyweds rode on the same horse together and slowly headed towards the palace gate amid blessings and the sounds of gongs, drums, and firecrackers.

 

On horseback, Yan Muning whispered to Yun Jiangli, saying that he had to go to the palace to see his imperial brother first and then go back to the mansion, and who would be waiting for him after he returned to the mansion…

 

Yun Jiangli listened patiently all the way, and finally couldn’t help but chuckle softly and ask in a low voice, “Wangye, are you a little nervous?”

 

The two of them were riding on the same horse and were very close to each other. When Yun Jiangli spoke, his breath swept behind the little prince’s ears, and soon he saw the red color spreading along the tip of the ear.

 

The little prince’s ears were red, and he was panicking, but he said stubbornly, “Who, who said that? Why would this king be nervous?”

 

Seeing that they were almost at the palace gate, Yun Jiangli didn’t dare to tease him anymore. If he really pissed the other party off, it would be troublesome.

 

But the little prince was really nervous. From the moment he met Yun Jiangli to entering the palace, leaving the palace, and returning home… he was dazed throughout the whole process.

 

Throughout the entire process, he just did whatever Prince Heng and the ceremonial official said. The whole set of etiquette procedures was long and complicated. It was not until the wedding banquet began that the little prince slowly came back to his senses.

 

After thinking about it carefully, the little prince was confused.

 

He only married one princess consort in his life! He married him in a daze!

 

Yun Jiangli saw the youth pout his lips for some reason and look a little disappointed. He approached him with some concern. Just as he was about to ask, he saw the youth looking at him with a wronged look and said, “Ah Li! I regret it!”

 

Yun Jiangli’s heart suddenly jumped, and he asked in a cold voice with a somewhat stiff expression, “What did Wangye say?”

 

“I said I regretted being too nervous just now, now I can’t remember what I just did, what to do?”

 

The little prince was obviously unaware of what he had said and continued muttering.

 

Yun Jiangli was so amused that he interrupted the youth and said, “If you don’t remember, then forget it. I remember it; otherwise, I can’t ask Wangye to marry me again, right?”

 

When Yan Muning heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened.

 

Yun Jiangli looked at the youth’s expression and knew that he was starting to think about something unreliable.

 

He obviously didn’t know how to deal with his little thing’s thoughts, so he had no choice but to use the simplest but most direct and effective method—

 

Which is to press the back of his head and kiss him directly.

 

As expected, after being kissed all over, the little prince completely forgot about the previous entanglement.

 

At this moment, he was happily drinking with relatives and friends at the wedding banquet with a red face.

 

Yun Jiangli, who did not need to accompany the guests, was teaching his three subordinates: No disturbance in the bridal chamber today, and no eavesdropping.

 

Ah Xiao’s face was full of regret, but he could not beat his boss in terms of fighting power, so he had to agree in frustration.

 

Not only was he not allowed to eavesdrop, but his boss also ordered the three of them to stop anyone who tried to eavesdrop, including but not limited to a certain unreliable Shizi and a certain loud-mouthed guard.

 

When the lively wedding banquet came to an end, the little prince was already a little dizzy.

 

Although a lighter wine was specially served at today’s wedding banquet, the little prince was still persuaded to drink a lot.

 

Originally, few people dared to persuade the little prince to drink, but Yuchi Zhao dared to do so. Not only did he dare to do so himself, but he also instigated others to do so.

 

In response, the young hall master who held a grudge said that he would definitely present a great gift to the Yuchi when he got married.

 

.

 

With Yun Jiangli’s advance arrangements, the people who were making noise in the bridal chamber were indeed very restrained. After a symbolic moment of excitement, they dispersed on their own initiative, leaving the precious night to the newlyweds.

 

In short, the little prince and his beloved princess consort finally had a quiet wedding night.

 

And no one was eavesdropping.

 

The bedroom was decorated especially festively tonight. The bed and bed curtains were painted red, and red “囍” characters were pasted on the window. Even the burning candles were red, with delicate golden “囍” characters on them.

 

Every detail reveals the people in the mansion’s intentions.

 

After drinking, the little prince became frank and bold.

 

He led Yun Jiangli into the bedroom, closed the door, and kept looking at the big beauty and smiling.

 

That smile made Yun Jiangli’s heart itch.

 

“Turn around.”

 

The little prince’s cheeks were rosy, his eyes were bright and intoxicating, his smile was naive and cute, he tilted his head, and he held Yun Jiangli’s shoulder to let him turn around.

 

Yun Jiangli didn’t know what the youth was going to do. He just looked at him with a mysterious look and a sweet smile, and the desire to bully the other party in his heart became even more eager.

 

He deliberately teased the youth and asked, “What are you going to do?”

 

The little prince shook his head and said nothing. Although he was not drunk yet, but his eyes were already blurred by the alcohol. He said in a soft voice, “Aiya, turn around.”

 

Yun Jiangli couldn’t stand the youth’s eyes and sweet coquetry. He took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and turned around according to the youth’s strength.

 

Yan Muning, who was still wearing heavy wedding clothes, jumped onto Yun Jiangli’s back with great force, which scared Yun Jiangli. He quickly grabbed the youth’s legs with his palm, fearing that he would fall and get hurt.

 

The little prince raised one hand to hold his shoulder, and with the other hand, he gently gestured at Yun Jiangli’s neck with his fingertips: “Who are you?”

 

Yun Jiangli was slightly startled at first, then he lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his lips slightly.

 

The last time Yun Jiangli carried the youth on his back was the night they first met a year ago in the suburbs of Jinzhou. The youth asked him the same question in the same posture.

 

However, Yun Jiangli’s answer was different this time.

 

He carried his beloved youth on his back and walked steadily towards the bedroom. His cold and lazy voice was the same as before, but without the chilliness. He responded with tenderness.

 

“The one who loves you.”

 

“Yours, Princess Consort An.”
