Chapter 277 The first day
"Princess, do you want to eat some snacks first and put them on?" the maid walked to the bed and asked softly.
"No, it's not in accordance with the rules." Li Bixiao thought for a while, and was a little moved, and finally said. It was already the hour of Hai, and she had never eaten anything since noon, so she was a little hungry. But today is the first day of her marriage to Liu Qi, and she still wants to live a good life with Liu Qi in the future, so she can't give the other party a bad impression.
"If you are already hungry, you can eat a little first." She said again. Her personal maid could not eat until Liu Qi entered the new house and left, but Liu Qi would not care about a maid, so she could eat some first.
"If the princess doesn't eat it, I will naturally not eat it either." The maid said immediately.
"You." Li Bixiao said with a smile. Almost all her maids were given to her in the princess' harem. Only this personal maid has been following her since she was a child and is like her sister. Seeing that this sister wanted to share the joys and sorrows with her, she couldn't help but laugh.
"You..." Li Bixiao wanted to persuade her to eat some first, and she didn't know when Liu Qi would come to the new house. But before this was said, the maid who had been guarding the door walked in and said softly: "Princess, General Liu is here!"
"!"
Hearing this, Li Bixiao immediately became nervous, but her face was not visible at all. She said softly: "I understand, you go back." She continued to sit upright on the edge of the bed. But after the maid stepped down, she touched her knees with her hands unconsciously, as if she was worried that she had already lifted it up.
"Princess, don't be nervous. You are now a princess. Even if he is the groom, he is just your subject, so don't be nervous." Seeing this, the maid immediately cheered her up.
"Speak less!" Li Bixiao said to her angrily, but it did relieve her tension.
At this time, footsteps were heard outside the door, and the two of them hurriedly sat upright, straightened their bodies, and stayed inside the house.
After a while, the door was pushed open, and Li Bixiao only heard the maid say, "I have met the prince consort."
"No need to be polite, no need to be polite," the man's voice also sounded, and he paused and said, "You go out."
"Yes." The maid agreed, then a slight footsteps sounded in the room, and then another 'creak' sound, the door was closed.
Hearing this voice, Li Bixiao immediately understood that the maid was leaving, and only she and Liu Qi were left in the room. She couldn't help but feel even more panicked; she couldn't say anything she had planned to say to Liu Qi before.
"Princess?" She heard Liu Qi say again, and her voice was a little hesitant.
"The Prince Consort." When she heard Liu Qi's voice, she calmed down and agreed softly.
"You, oh, your face is covered with knee-blocking, and your exhalation must be unsmooth? I'll take it down for you." Liu Qi said again, then paused for a moment, probably waiting for Li Bixiao's reaction. Seeing that Li Bixiao did not respond, he thought about it and walked over and lifted the cover of knee-blocking on her face.
"Mr. Concubine." Li Bixiao looked up at Liu Qi, and lowered her head as if shy.
"Princess." Liu Qi said dryly. Although it was only a moment and the light was not good, he could see Li Bixiao's appearance clearly. Although it was not as beautiful as the national beauty, it was also very beautiful, especially in line with the aesthetics of his person who was different from most people at this time, which made him feel a little moved. He also thought that this beauty would be his legal wife in the future, and after eating some wine, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
However, he quickly came back to his senses, lowered his blood pressure, and silently recited a few Taoist classics in his heart. This time he looked at her again and said, "You haven't eaten anything since noon, are you? These are two snacks, you can keep your stomach."
"Thank you, my husband." Li Bixiao said a few more polite words, then picked up the snack and started to eat.
Liu Qi sat down next to her, held the plate with his hands next to her.
Li Bixiao ate a few pieces of snacks and stopped eating. She continued to sit next to the edge of the bed. Liu Qi put the plate on the table and sat back to the edge of the bed.
The two were speechless for a moment. Although they had become husband and wife, they were not familiar with each other at all. In other words, Li Bixiao was familiar with Liu Qi, but Liu Qi didn't know much about this princess, only knowing that she had inspected the military camp, comforted the soldiers, and a few other things that Li Gong revealed during the Battle of Luzhou.
But Li Bixiao wants to pretend to be a lady, no, she is a lady who doesn't need to pretend, and she can't speak first anyway; but Liu Qi is not familiar with her and doesn't know what to say. The atmosphere in the room gradually becomes a bit awkward.
"Before getting engaged, Dupu once talked to me about the princess." Liu Qi said first.
‘What did he tell you about me?’ Li Bixiao immediately wanted to ask, but when she remembered that she was still pretending to be a lady, she could only help but not ask.
"The Protector said at that time that the princess occasionally used some small-mindedness on the way from Chang'an to Anxi, but she was quite aware of the general and never delayed her journey.
Later, when he came to Anxi, he attacked Anxi because the cannibals betrayed his faith and the Protector led everyone to resist. The princess worked tirelessly to work hard to comfort the soldiers in the Hebei camp. The Protector also admired the princess very much." Liu Qi continued.
‘I came to Anxi from Chang'an. Although I had to stop to watch the beautiful scenery from time to time, weren't you also very happy to watch with me? Why did you still say that I was playing a little mean?’ When Li Gong was told by Liu Qi, Li Bixiao couldn't help but think in her heart again. Although she didn't say it, the expression on her face couldn't help but change. By the time she realized this problem, it was too late.
"If the princess can work in the Hebei camp, she must be a very generous person. How could she be a little mean? I asked the Protector at that time, thinking that what he said was wrong. Now looking at the princess' expression, the Protector is indeed wrong." Liu Qi smiled.
"He is indeed wrong." Li Bixiao knew that she had broken her skills, so she simply stopped pretending and said, "From Chang'an to Anxi, Brother Feng was happier than me when he saw the scenery. He always waited for me to say something, and he seemed helpless and ordered to stop. It was not my little character."
"I said so at that time." Liu Qi said with a smile: "The Protector is the best. Except for commanding soldiers to fight, the rest of the important things can be grasped in his hands without any trace. It is obvious that the princess was tricked by the Duke."
"Yes, that's it." Li Bixiao couldn't help but smile. Although she had never heard of the word "routine", she immediately understood the meaning.
After this chat, the strangeness between the two was much eliminated. Li Bixiao glanced at Liu Qi and suddenly said, "I understand, you are also tricking me!"
"I'm really a trick of the princess." As she expected, Liu Qi admitted frankly, and suddenly grabbed her hand and said:
"Although this is the first time I have seen a princess today, as I said just now, I have already thought that the princess must be a very generous person. She will not be indifferent to my words, but will take over the conversation. I can also open up the topic and chat with the princess."
"You are really special." Li Bixiao couldn't help but say. She used to hear that couples got married, but they were okay when they knew each other. The groom didn't know each other in the past would think of a set of words to talk to the bride on the first night of the marriage. She said a few words casually, and when she met, she went to bed. How could she be like Liu Qi?
She immediately felt the difference between Liu Qi and other men: she respected women more. Although she couldn't say it at this time.
"I'm of course special." Liu Qi naturally didn't know what Li Bixiao was thinking, and then continued with a smile.
"Haha." Li Bixiao couldn't help laughing, but stopped immediately.
The two of them sat on the edge of the bed and chatted for a while. Because the only person they knew each other was Li Gong, the topic usually started from Li Gong. Liu Qi said a lot of jokes and small mistakes that Li Gong made when discussing things with him, and Li Bixiao also said some harmless little mistakes, and the two quickly became familiar with each other.
"Yao!" They said for a while, and Liu Qi felt sleepy and couldn't help but yawn.
"Are you sleepy? It's so late at that time." Seeing him yawning, Li Bixiao turned his head and looked at the time. She realized that it was already ugly. She immediately said, "It's time to rest if you're late."
But after saying this, she suddenly felt a little shy again. This time it was true, not pretending. In any case, this was the first time she slept with a man. Even though the Li Tang royal family had some ethnic origins in the Northwest, they had long been Han people in the Central Plains and accepted the etiquette of Han people. Although there were a few princesses who were indeed slutty, it did not mean that all princesses were slutty; obviously Li Bixiao was not, and she was really shy.
"It's really time to rest." Liu Qi yawned again, took off his coat and lay on the bed and said, "Go to sleep." Then he closed his eyes and started to rest.
‘This is different from what the old lady said?’ Although she was shy, Li Bixiao asked questions at all when she saw this, but she couldn’t ask Liu Qi directly. She could only take off her coat with her question mark, and then took off her makeup and slept beside him.
During this night, Li Bixiao slept very uneasy, and she turned around and couldn't sleep. On the contrary, Liu Qi slept very well and slept until dawn.
It was not until dawn that Li Bixiao fell asleep. After a while, Liu Qi woke up and wanted to wake her up, but he remembered that she had not had a good sleep last night, so she did not wake up and did not get up. She lay quietly beside her.
But not long after, the maid's voice sounded last night: "Princess, princess, is she awake?"
"It's almost time?" Liu Qi asked.
"It's the beginning of Chen Shi."
"It's really worth it." Liu Qi muttered. Although Li Bixiao didn't need to visit her because his parents were not in Anxi in this life, she had to accept Li Niang's tea today and summon all the servants to pay homage to her mistress. The first day Li Bixiao gave everyone a bad impression of sleeping in. He also hoped that the family would be harmonious.
"My husband, Bi Xiao, get up." Liu Qi hesitated and said.
"It's almost time?" Li Bixiao asked slowly.
"It's the beginning of Chen Shi."
"Chen Shichu? Chen Shichu is already Chen Shichu!" Li Bixiao immediately woke up, lifted the quilt and sat upright, and called the servants in to serve and dress. She thought the same as Liu Qi. Although she was a princess, she also wanted to live a good life with Liu Qi, and could not give all servants the impression of being lazy.
"Don't be in a hurry, you can slow down." Liu Qi couldn't help but persuade her again when she saw that she was in a hurry.
"It's not slow." Li Bixiao answered while stretching out her arms and putting on her coat.
"Serve me to dress." Seeing her in such a hurry, Liu Qi also ordered.
They quickly put on their clothes, and Li Bixiao was quickly put on makeup by her personal maid, and the two rushed to the main hall together.
They quickly came to the main hall. At this time, all the servants in the inner courtyard had already come here to wait. When they saw the two of them coming in and sitting down, they immediately knelt down and bowed, "I have seen the princess and the prince consort." Several servants did not change their words for a while, and said it was wrong, so they hurriedly covered their mouths.
Chapter completed!
