Chapter 410: 421

A nurse with a serious expression walked out from the wedding room behind her and bowed respectfully to Bu Yonghan. The nurse looked stern and solemn, and even her hair was combed in a neat manner. She exhumed the respectful and dutiful aura inside out. Even if someone slashed a knife in front of her eyes, she wouldn’t flinch because she would not allow herself to lose composure in the slightest.

“Princess, you should go back to your room and wait for His Highness.”

Bu Yonghan turned to look at the nurse, who had a solemn expression. A trace of dissatisfaction flashed through her eyes. The old woman was Nurse Wu, who was forcefully assigned to her by Mother Empress. Her mother insisted on permitting Nurse Wu to come to the capital regardless of her consent. In the past few days, Nurse Wu kept nagging to her, lecturing her on how to manage the backyard, win her husband’s heart, and raise her children. She was annoyed and frustrated by this. “Got it, Nurse Wu!”

Nurse Wu was bestowed to her by Mother Empress. Despite her dissatisfaction, Bu Yonghan couldn’t do anything to her. However, she was extremely disapproving of her lectures. Nurse Wu had been working under Mother Empress since she was young and had never married in her entire life. What did she know about winning a man’s heart and raising children? They were just empty talks.

Nurse Wu respectfully retreated to the side as if she did not hear the frustration in Bu Yonghan’s tone. When Bu Yonghan entered the room, Nurse Wu waved her hand to dismiss the maids and asserted, “Princess, the move you took today is neither brilliant nor wise. You and His Highness have just been married. The most important thing now is to leave a good impression on him so that he can trust you. It’s unwise to use Side Concubine Yang’s death to suppress others. You don’t have a solid foundation yet. If you act recklessly, not only will you fail to get the desired effect, but you will also push His Highness further away from you.”

Bu Yonghan suddenly turned her head and grunted angrily, “Nurse Wu, you speak too much. I know what to do.”

Nurse Wu was not intimidated by her attitude at all. “Your Highness, I have come to your side to support you under Her Majesty’s orders, so I can’t just sit back and watch as you take the wrong path. Please forgive me if I say something wrong or harsh.”

“Do you try to suppress me in the name of Mother Empress?”

“No, Your Highness. I don’t dare to.” Nurse Wu hurriedly knelt down and bowed deeply. Her posture was exceptionally respectful, but her tone was calm and emotionless.

Bu Yonghan secretly gritted her teeth. She could feel the raging wrath burning inside her, but she had to suppress it. “Forgive me, Nurse Wu. I’m too angry, that’s all. Quickly get up. You’re not young anymore, and you’re new in the Da’an Kingdom. Mother Empress will be worried sick if you fall ill. Okay, I’ll quietly wait for His Highness’ return.”

Wanting to say something, Nurse Wu noticed the impatience hidden in Bu Yonghan’s eyes and pursed her lips. She retreated to the door, called over a maid, and ordered, “Go to the front yard and wait. When His Highness returns, immediately welcome him to the Princess.”

“Yes.”

Bu Yonghan, who was in the room, heard her order, and she felt more and more humiliated. Was Baili Jinchuan really not coming to her room tonight? She wanted to stop the maid from keeping guard at the door, but the image of his cold glare flashed across her mind, and she remained silent.

She sat quietly in the bright red wedding room. The dragon and phoenix candles that were as thick as an infant’s arm burned on the table not far away. From time to time, there were some tiny sparks on the light. She stared at the swaying candlelight in a daze and waited until two hours had passed.

After a long time, she was a little restless, and she called out, “Nurse Wu.”

With a serious face, Nurse Wu bowed and walked in. “Yes, Princess. May I help you?”

“The banquet in the front yard should have ended by now, right?”

“I just sent someone to take a look. His Highness is seeing off the guests now.”

Bu Yonghan heaved a sigh of relief. “Got it.” She spruced up her dress, straightened her back, and sat upright in the most elegant posture. She lowered her head slightly, and her eyelashes fluttered like two pairs of butterfly wings as she waited for Baili Jinchuan’s arrival.

However, after waiting for an hour, she felt her waist was so sore that it came almost numb. “Nurse Wu, where is His Highness? Has he not come yet?”

Nurse Wu knew that the Second Prince was probably cracking the whip because he was upset with Bu Yonghan’s actions. Even so, he should come to the wedding room on their wedding night. Otherwise, it would be an embarrassment to the Great Yue Kingdom instead of Bu Yonghan alone! “Please calm down, Your Highness. His Highness must have something urgent to do. Please wait for a while longer. I’ve sent someone to the front yard to take a look.”

Bu Yonghan bit her lips and felt the anger in her heart burning continuously. “It’s all that slut Shen Ninghua’s fault. If it hadn’t been for her, His Highness wouldn’t have had a grudge against me!”

Nurse Wu was agitated by her words. “Your Highness, Princess Zhaohua is your Fifth Sister-in-law. Now that you’re married to the Second Prince, you’ll have to meet her often in the future. You must watch your manners, and you must not speak irrationally or rashly.” As a princess, she should have the pride and bearing of one. Even if she was resentful, she had to disguise her true emotion by feigning indifference. How could she say such vulgar words so casually?

Bu Yonghan gasped in frustration when she heard this and glared at Nurse Wu resentfully. She would have suspected that Shen Ninghua had placed Nurse Wu beside her had it not been for the fact that she knew how loyal Nurse Wu was to Mother Empress. “Got it.”

Bu Yonghan waited anxiously. It was almost midnight when Baili Jinchuan, who reeked of alcohol, finally walked into the wedding room.

Bu Yonghan’s eyes lit up, and the resentment in her heart faded a little. Finally, he came.

Baili Jinchuan glanced at the things on the table, poured two cups of wine, and handed one over. “Princess, it’s time to drink nuptial wine.”

Bu Yonghan raised her head, her face carrying a bit of shyness. They crossed their arms and drank the wine. Her face blushed like a blossoming flower. “Your Highness, what took you so long? I’ve waited for you for a long time.”

“Didn’t I tell you to rest first?” Baili Jinchuan put the wine cup back on the table and waved his hand to dismiss all the servants in the room.

Nurse Wu felt that there was something wrong with Baili Jinchuan’s expression and looked at Bu Yonghan uneasily. However, Bu Yonghan was looking at Baili Jinchuan intently and did not notice Nurse Wu at all, who was trying to give her hints. Seeing this, Nurse Wu sighed dejectedly. No Wonder the Empress wanted her to come over. Bu Yonghan’s actions indeed couldn’t put people’s heart at ease.

Baili Jinchuan turned around and walked to the bedside. He suppressed the reluctance in his heart to the deepest extent. “Just sleep.”

Bu Yonghan got up, walked to him, and slowly placed her fingers on the lapel on his chest. “I’ll help you undress.” Her movements were gentle, and her soft fingers were like silk threads, as if she could suck away a person’s soul.

However, Baili Jinchuan’s gaze remained calm and eerily cold. “I can do it myself.”

The next second, the shocked Bu Yonghan was picked up by Baili Jinchuan and thrown onto the bed…

When everything was over, Bu Yonghan felt as if her body had been torn apart. Her fingers trembled as she moved. She turned to look at Baili Jinchuan. When she saw the cold side profile of his face with his eyes closed, a chill suddenly surged in her heart. Could she really control this man?

After Shen Ninghua and Baili Junyi returned to their mansion, they threw the incident that happened at the banquet out of the window. They had a simple meal together, played with the two children, did some unfinished business, embraced each other, and fell asleep.

The next day, Baili Junyi went to the morning court. After Shen Ninghua got up, she ate breakfast with the children. Hong Ling stood beside her and reported, “Miss, Madam Xia left the capital last night and headed in the direction of Jiangnan.”

“Good. It seems that she understands the situation. It’s good that she left, or she’ll die in vain. Send a few people to follow her. If someone tries to kill her halfway, help her after she gets some minor injuries. If no one touches her, ask our men to give her some minor injuries. Just some cuts and bruises will do.”

“Miss, do you want Madam Xia to be convinced that she had been fooled and would never dare to come to the capital again?”

“Yes. In any case, she is a part of the Xia Family, so I’m doing something for my family. But I won’t be bothered anymore if she dares to come up against me again.”

“Yes, Miss.”

At the Imperial Palace.

Bu Yonghan went to the palace with Baili Jinchuan to pay a visit to Baili Qingcang and Noble Consort Qi. Bu Yonghan, who was walking behind Baili Jinchuan, looked pale despite her tenacious makeover efforts. Last night, she waited until midnight when Baili Jinchuan finally came back, and he was very forceful and aggressive during the lovemaking session, so much so that she almost couldn’t get up this morning. When she stood up, she felt a bone-piercing pain.

Everything went smoothly when they met Baili Qingcang. After he finished the morning court, they bowed to him, received gifts from him, and came out. However, when they went to meet Noble Consort Qi, Bu Yonghan was keenly aware that Noble Consort Qi treated her much more coldly, as if they had returned to the state when she was not married to Baili Jinchuan.

Noble Consort Qi took Baili Jinchuan’s hand and talked to her but ignored Bu Yonghan, who was standing at the side. After a while, a nurse came to remind Noble Consort Qi about the tea-serving ceremony, and Noble Consort Qi revealed a look of realization. “Oh my! Look at me… I’m so immersed in talking to Jinchuan, I forgot the time. Okay, now serve tea.”

Bu Yonghan stood in pain, and the anger in her heart was even more vigorous. When she knelt down to serve the tea, she felt that her wrist was sore and almost splashed the tea on Noble Consort Qi’s face. What was Noble Consort Qi thinking? She was obviously making things difficult for her.

Noble Consort Qi received the teacup and took a sip. There was a smile on her face. “The two of you should get along well in the future and stay safe. I’m happy as long as you two are happy.”

“Yes, Mother. We’ll obey your words.”

Noble Consort Qi rewarded them with some gifts. Then, she felt that there was nothing else to say, so she dismissed them.

After they left, the nurse, who was standing behind Noble Consort Qi, sighed. “From the looks of it, I think Second Princess misunderstands you. She probably thinks that you’re cracking the whip.”

Noble Consort Qi laughed. “She can think whatever she wants.”

“You have taken great pains to protect the Second Princess. I’m sure she will understand one day.” Regardless of whether Bu Yonghan was intentional or not, it was an undeniable fact that she wore the phoenix robe on her wedding day. Noble Consort deliberately put her in a difficult position today because she wanted everyone to know that she had punished Bu Yonghan, so that no one would spread rumors about this matter again.

“No, I don’t think she will ever understand. Bu Yonghan is smart, and I can even say that she is as smart as Shen Ninghua. However, the Great Yue Kingdom’s Empress spoiled her rotten. She is too arrogant and proud, and she lacks the patience and sense to see the bigger picture. If she goes against Shen Ninghua, not only will she fail to gain the slightest advantage, but she will also implicate others.”

“She will not be in big trouble with your support, Your Grace.”

Noble Consort Qi did not answer, and the smile on her face gradually faded. Yes, she might be able to protect her for a while, but she could not protect her forever. It would not be long before there would be a bloody storm in the imperial court. At that time, she didn’t know if she could protect herself, let alone protecting others.
