The prince only allowed me to have a baby, so the pressure is a bit high!

Chapter 19: Sharing a Bed

When the couple returned to Yuqing Palace, the lights were already on in the palace. Yinreng wanted to go back to the outer courtyard directly, but He Zhu pulled him back. Only then did Yinreng realize that he was already married. The Crown Princess was not like those women in the backyard. He could no longer ignore her as he pleased.

Yinreng secretly glared at He Zhu, but said nothing. He had fallen asleep without caring about anything last night because he was drunk on his wedding night, but he couldn't do that tonight. Besides, he had decided to treat the Crown Princess well before. Not to mention that the Emperor said today that it was her credit that Ukuma Ma was well, he just didn't want to touch a woman. He might not be able to leave her with children in this life, so he would be sorry for her. He couldn't save the Crown Princess's face by not living in the main courtyard after his wedding.

The two of them entered the main courtyard one after the other. Bu Erhe was also panicking at this time. This was the first time she got married in her two lives. Although her maternal grandmother had talked about the bridal chamber before the marriage, she also said that she was still young and had not yet had her period, so she did not recommend it. She hoped that she could talk to the prince.

But this kind of thing is embarrassing to talk about no matter what the circumstances. Fortunately, the prince was drunk last night, so she hid all night and didn't say anything. But the prince will definitely rest in the main courtyard tonight, so this topic must be brought up.

At times like this, the more one thinks about it, the less courage one has. Bu Erhe had no intention of escaping, so after the two of them entered the inner room and the palace maids served tea, Bu Erhe waved away the servants. Seeing this, Yinreng raised his eyebrows and let He Zhu go down.

Seeing that no one was in the room, Buerhe's nervousness returned. However, Buerhe also knew that repeated failures would lead to failure. So after the servants closed the door, Buerhe met Yinreng's smiling eyes and mustered up the courage to say, "Prince, I am still young. I am only twelve years old this year. I haven't had my period yet. I want to..."

As she spoke, Buerhe's face turned red and she could no longer speak. It was not appropriate for a lady from a noble family to talk about such things, let alone a stranger husband whom she had only met a few times.

Fortunately, Yinreng had many women in his previous life, and he was well aware of what Buerhe had left unsaid. He did not let Buerhe fall into a more embarrassing situation and directly expressed his opinion: "I understand, and the Crown Princess does not need to mind. The royal family is also aware of your age and physical condition, so you do not need to worry too much about this matter. Besides, I am not a lustful person, and I don't think about that thing all day long, so the Crown Princess can rest assured!"

Seeing that Burhe's face was getting redder and redder and his head was slowly lowered, the prince quickly stopped talking about this topic and turned to talk about Burhe's name: "Your maiden name is Burhe, so from now on, can I call you Burhe in private?"

When Buerhe heard the prince change the subject, he quickly responded: "Of course, Your Majesty."

The prince said: "From now on, I will call you Buerhe, and you don't have to call me Prince all the time. You can just call me Master in private, or Husband."

The last sentence was when Yinreng saw Buerhe's well-behaved appearance, and he couldn't help but teasing him. Sure enough, Buerhe was fine before, but after hearing the last sentence, his face, which had finally returned to normal, instantly turned red like a big apple.

Seeing this, the Crown Prince, regardless of the shy Buerhe, burst into laughter. He Zhu and Qi'er, who were guarding the door, looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering what the two people in the room were talking about, and why the Crown Prince was laughing so happily? He Zhu was also secretly muttering to himself, it seems that he must treat the Crown Princess with more respect in the future. She has just married into the family and has won the favor of the Crown Prince. It is estimated that it will not be long before the entire Yuqing Palace will be in the hands of the Crown Princess. Thinking of this, He Zhu smiled slightly at Qi'er, Buerhe's maid, but what he was thinking in his heart was that he had to quickly establish a good relationship with the people around the Crown Princess.

He Zhu was willing to make friends, and Qi'er was not a fool. She would definitely accept the olive branch immediately. Not to mention the relationship between the future master and the prince, He Zhu was currently the prince's close attendant, so as palace maids who had just been married into Yuqing Palace, they had to be careful in treating him.

Yinreng stopped laughing and discussed tomorrow's greetings with Buerhe. As the Crown Princess, her only legitimate elders were the Emperor, the Grand Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager. As for the Emperor's other concubines, even the highest-ranking Imperial Concubine, they didn't count. The Crown Princess could only perform a half-bow when meeting them.

As for the four concubines, they only need to perform the ordinary ceremony. You should know that the emperor has stipulated that all the items and ranks of the Crown Princess should be handled in accordance with the regulations of the Imperial Concubine in the palace.

If these women were not the emperor's women, the Crown Princess could have met them without even saying hello. This was the case in the royal family, as the emperor's status was noble, so naturally the status of the emperor's women rose accordingly.

The prince went on to instruct, "Because my eldest sister-in-law is pregnant, Ukuma Ma has exempted her from paying respects. So you should be the only one of the younger generation who goes to pay respects. It's best to go before the emperor's concubines. Otherwise, if they tease you or cause trouble for you, it will be difficult for you to retort because of your seniority."

The prince was also aware that he had recently gotten married, and the fact that the emperor did not allow the women in the harem to interfere had caused a lot of people to be unhappy. This was the case in his previous life. However, in his previous life, because Shi was not very popular with him, he did not pay much attention to it even though he knew that Shi was being harassed when she paid her respects. At most, it was just a verbal embarrassment, no big deal.

But this life is different. Buerhe is only twelve years old this year and still a little girl. Besides, she married me purely to let her help save Ukuma. I asked her for help and let her step into the vortex of Yuqing Palace, so I have the obligation to protect her.

Those women in the emperor's harem are not easy to deal with. If a naive girl like Buerhe is bullied and dares not to fight back, she can only hide in the quilt and cry. How pitiful that would be!

After thinking for a moment, he suggested, "How about you wait for me to come back tomorrow and go pay your respects together? With me here, no one would dare to say anything or give you a cold shoulder."

After hearing this, Buerhe felt warm in her heart. Although she was very scared to marry into the Yuqing Palace at such a young age, the fact that the Crown Prince had always protected her and considered her well today showed that he had a good impression of her and was someone who wanted to live a good life. This meant that her future life would not be too difficult. If he was willing to consider her, then Buerhe was not an ungrateful person. How could she always waste the Crown Prince's time and energy for a simple greeting?

So, she shook her head at the Crown Prince and refused seriously, "Master, no need. The ladies in the harem will all encounter this sooner or later. I'm still young, and even if I really said something wrong, I believe the ladies in the harem will understand. Besides, you have to attend court now, and you have a lot of things to do every day. If I keep bothering you for such a small matter, how can I manage Yuqing Palace in the future?"

After hearing this, Yinreng felt that it made sense, and was happy that his little wife had such awareness. If Shi had been so clear-headed in her previous life, he would not have neglected her and instead favored Li Jia, and especially favored Hongxi, who was born to Li Jia.

However, Yinreng was still a little hesitant about what Burhe said about managing Yuqing Palace. It was not that he did not trust Burhe, but Burhe was still young after all, and his management skills were probably very immature. Yuqing Palace was not a simple mansion. If he could not manage it well, he would be embarrassed in the palace and even in the court.

This was the case with Shi in his previous life. Although the emperor always praised Shi's housekeeper, if you think about it carefully, you will find that before he was imprisoned, he only had two sons and one daughter who survived. Among them, Li Jia gave birth to three sons and one daughter, and the only son, Hongxi, survived. Lin Jia gave birth to two daughters and one son, and the only son, Hongjin, survived. The last one was Shi's daughter, who was also his only legitimate child in his previous life.

In comparison, they are not as good as the four daughters and one son born to my eldest brother and sister-in-law. You know, they raised them all.

However, Yinreng did not say that he must block Buer's right to manage Yuqing Palace. He just wanted to observe for a while and see how she performed.

The Crown Prince said, "I'm thinking of letting Madam Wu sort out the internal affairs of Yuqing Palace for the next month. I'll hand it over to you once your main courtyard is sorted out. As for the back room, Madam Wu will still take care of it. What do you think?"

Buerhe immediately understood what the prince meant. It seemed that her abilities weren't enough to earn his trust. But that was understandable. Firstly, she was young, and secondly, she had just married into the family. She needed to see how she could manage the family before the prince could convince her. Furthermore, the time the prince had given her was only a month, suggesting he didn't completely distrust her. But why wasn't she allowed to manage the harem? Wasn't the harem the prince's woman?

After thinking about it, Buerhe did not ask immediately. After all, there was still a long time and there would always be time and opportunity to find out.

Yinreng also noticed Buerhe's doubts, but as a husband, he would definitely be embarrassed to tell the Crown Princess about such a thing, so Yinreng decided to let Nanny Wu talk to Buerhe tomorrow.

It was getting late, and the two of them didn't say anything more. They still had things to do tomorrow, so they asked the servants to come in to help them wash up, and then prepared to rest.

Lying in bed, both of them felt a little awkward. Yinreng was because his wife was a little girl, and he was very averse to having other people around him. Last night, he was completely drunk and his mind was not clear, so he didn't know there was anyone around him. But today was different. Today, he was awake the whole time. The thought of someone around him made him feel uncomfortable, so he was enduring it.

Buerhe was also embarrassed. She had never slept in a bed with a stranger in her life, let alone a strange man. Moreover, they had talked about not consummating the marriage for the time being. Now that she thought about it, she didn't know what to do.

In this way, the two of them just closed their eyes but did not fall asleep, and both sides were still conscious. After an unknown amount of time, Burhe was the first to be exhausted and gradually fell asleep. Hearing the light and shallow breathing and the occasional snoring in his ears, Yinreng tilted his head and carefully observed Burhe in the dim light in the room.

He found that he used to be very disgusted with Bullhe lying next to him, but as time passed, his mood gradually calmed down, and he felt that having Bullhe lying next to him was not so bad. At least he didn't feel nauseous or vomiting until now.

Seeing Buerhe's slightly red face while she was sleeping, and thinking of her cheeks that turned red because of his teasing at night, Yinreng couldn't help but smile knowingly. At this time, he didn't even notice that his eyes were slowly becoming soft and affectionate.

Then he thought of the words Master Pu Du left for him before he left: "That is your destined pair. You just need to cherish them, and then everything in the future will naturally become clear." To be honest, he has never understood. Is there any bright future for him in this life?

In the end, Yinreng didn't know how he fell asleep. When he woke up the next day, Buerhe was no longer on the bed, but he could hear her giving orders to the servants outside.

Yinreng, who was still lying motionless on the bed, was not as calm in his heart as his actions. You know, since he was reborn, he couldn't stand the touch of the opposite sex at all. Even when he was a child and still had to drink milk, he drank the milk squeezed out by the wet nurse directly. After he was able to eat complementary foods, he found a way to get rid of all the wet nurses.

When he was still unable to take care of himself, most of the women around him were maids. Nanny Wu also came to Yuqing Palace around that time. At first, she only took care of Yinreng's food, clothing, and daily life. Later, when Yinreng grew up and could do some things by himself, Nanny Wu directly managed all the affairs of Yuqing Palace. She was considered the chief nanny.
