On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

In a courtyard dotted with falling peach blossoms, Lin Zhen walked side by side with his wives and concubines. The moonlight gilded their figures with silver. In the distance, a warm glow filtered through Cheng Yu's room, as if silently expressing the joy of a new life.

Lin Zhen looked at the bright light and was the first to break the silence: "When Chengyu grows up, let him go into business. Nowadays, Daqian has a thriving trade, and the classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans no longer exist."

Shangguan Wan'er frowned slightly when she heard this and stopped.

Her pure white silk dress swayed gently with her movements, and the pearl hairpins in her hair also swayed. "My husband, business is good, but the court is the place to display your ambitions. If Cheng Yu enters the court as an official, he can not only bring honor to our family, but also help Your Majesty in the court. Wouldn't that be even better?"

Lin Zhen shook his head, reached out to straighten the peach blossom hairpin that had fallen from Shangguan Wan'er's temples, and his fingertips accidentally brushed against her warm earlobe.

"The next emperor will definitely be Yan'er's child. No matter how carefully we teach Chengyu, as his elder brother, he will inevitably arouse suspicion in the court. The imperial family is the most ruthless. Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Even the closest relatives will find it difficult to avoid suspicion. It would be better for him to be a free and happy businessman, away from the disputes in the court."

He paused, a smile playing on his lips. "If he's interested, he could do research, invent, and even become a master. As long as he doesn't become an official, I'll support him in whatever he does. I think this is also Qingwen's wish. She just wants her child to be safe and sound, free from constraints."

Shangguan Wan'er's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her earlobe, wrapped in his warm palm, gradually became hot.

She looked up at Lin Zhen, the moonlight casting a shadow on his angular jaw. "But I'm worried that he'll get involved in business disputes..."

Before she finished speaking, Zhang Li walked away with an unnatural expression.

Lin Zhen leaned over and surrounded Shangguan Wan'er beside the corridor pillar, the hem of his black robe brushing her calves: "Have you noticed that Li'er is very sensible today!"

"I guess she wants me to take the medicine obediently."

"But I disagree with what you just said. And the merchant dispute... With me here, who dares to touch him?" Lin Zhen's breath sprayed on Shangguan Wan'er's flushed cheeks, and his fingertips slid along her slender neck and into her collar. "But you, always worrying."

"Um...husband! Don't, don't do it outside..." Shangguan Wan'er's protest was crushed by the kiss between her lips.

Lin Zhen's palms moved slowly down her back, kneading her soft waist through the silk fabric, and completely trapping her in his arms.

The sound of the night watchman's clapper came from afar, startling her so much that she hurriedly pushed him away. Her hair was disheveled, but her eyes were more charming than usual: "Let's talk in the room..."

"Oh? How do you want to take the medicine today? On top, or on the bottom? Or me on top and you on the bottom?"

"Go! You are so frivolous~"

Shangguan Wan'er twisted her body and jumped away.

The two returned to the bedroom, where ambergris curled up from the gilded incense burner.

Just as Shangguan Wan'er was about to untie her cloak, Lin Zhen hugged her from behind and gently bit her earlobe with his teeth: "I'm going to punish you tonight, huh?"

Without waiting for her response, the hot kiss moved down along her fair neck, and his slender fingers deftly untied the laces of her skirt.

The light pink silk slid to the ground, and when she turned around, she brought a gust of fragrant wind. Lin Zhen picked her up and threw her onto the bed. The brocade quilt embroidered with lotus flowers rose and fell, wrapping the two of them in the beautiful spring scenery.

On the bed, Lin Zhen's palm stroked Shangguan Wan'er's delicate skin, outlining an ambiguous outline in the moonlight.

"Do you remember when we first met?" Lin Zhen suddenly spoke, his voice low and hoarse, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness.

His fingertips traced across her eyebrows, as if describing the appearance in his memory, "You met me in the middle of the night, still wearing a bamboo hat, and I finally ripped it off!"

Shangguan Wan'er's cheeks flushed, and she reached out and gently pounded his chest: "It's already this late, and you're still talking about this."

Having said that, her eyes were filled with joy and shyness.

Lin Zhen held her hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it gently: "I just want you to know that although we have never met before, I have always been fascinated by you." His eyes were affectionate and focused, making Shangguan Wan'er almost indulge in them.

The two of them forgot the passage of time in their gentle love words and intimate interactions. As the moonlight outside the window gradually set in the west, Shangguan Wan'er collapsed in Lin Zhen's arms, exhausted, and said coquettishly, "It's all your fault. I'm afraid I won't be able to get up tomorrow."

Lin Zhen hugged her tighter and placed a kiss on the top of her head: "We'll talk about it later, go to sleep."

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the window lattice. Lin Zhen rested his head on his arms and looked at Shangguan Wan'er who was sleeping in his arms.

Her black hair fell like a waterfall on the pillow, and the red marks left by last night's lovemaking were particularly eye-catching on her snow-white skin.

He leaned over and kissed her slightly open lips, earning a lazy moan in return.

"嘤咛~"

"It's time to get up." He whispered in her ear, his hand moving restlessly towards her waist, but she slapped it away sleepily.

"Husband~ Stop making trouble, you still have to enter the palace..."

The two got up and washed. Shangguan Wan'er carefully put on her makeup and the light pink rouge added a bit of beauty to her.

Lin Zhen stood aside, his eyes never leaving her, full of admiration and love.

......

Because Lin Zhenxian was away, Lin Zhen had to come to court every day.

There is no trivial matter in a country, especially in a vast country like this, where there are countless events to deal with every day.

The memorials on Murong Yan's desk piled up as high as a mountain every day, but she never tired of reviewing them one by one.

The morning court lasted from morning to morning and ended for three hours.

Lin Zhen was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back.

He followed Murong Yan to a side hall in the palace and saw Sima Chunlei scooping bird's nest porridge with a silver spoon, while Xueqi knelt beside her to help her adjust her cuffs.

After entering the room, Murong Yan took off her outer robe, revealing a short phoenix robe embroidered with a phoenix with wings spread out, ready to fly, in gold thread. The knee-length hem revealed her calves wrapped in white mermaid silk, and the tassels made of pearls swayed gently at her ankles with her movements.

"Husband, please sit down." She raised her eyes and saw Lin Zhen, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she signaled the palace maid to add more bowls and chopsticks.

Lin Zhen sat down across from them, his eyes wandering over Murong Yan: "Why is your phoenix robe so short?"

Before he finished speaking, Sima Chunlei had already picked up a dish of crystal braised pork and placed it in his bowl. "Your Majesty said that it's spring and we need to wear lighter clothes. The other day he even had the Imperial Clothing Bureau make five sets of clothes."

Murong Yan wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, her eyes filled with anger: "You are the only one who talks too much."

"I think this is pretty good." Lin Zhen suddenly reached out and held Murong Yan's hand on the table, stroking the lines on her palm with his thumb.

Murong Yan wanted to pull back, but he held her tighter and pulled her towards him.

The hem of the short phoenix gown lifted up, revealing her fair thighs.

"Let go!" Murong Yan was embarrassed and annoyed. She hit his chest hard with her other hand, and the tassels in her hair swayed.

Sima Chunlei covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes moving: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry with your husband."

She turned to look at Lin Zhen and said coquettishly, "My husband, I want to go back home to see the child. I haven't hugged him properly since he was born."

As she spoke, she gently grabbed his sleeve and shook it.

Murong Yan rolled her eyes, pulled her hand back from Lin Zhen's, and sat up straight again: "You are the worst! If you want to go, just go. Why are you asking?"

Although he said he disliked it, he personally stuffed a plate of rose cakes into Sima Chunlei's hands and said, "Eat them on the way."

Seeing that Murong Yan was no longer angry, Lin Zhen spoke up: "Stop making trouble. I came here to tell you that the child's name is Chengyu. Lin Chengyu."

"That sounds too old-fashioned!" Murong Yan immediately retorted, "It would be much better to call her Lin Ruyi. It's more pleasing the moment you hear it."

As she spoke, she reached out to grab the shrimp in Lin Zhen's bowl, but he ate it first.

"You!" She stamped her feet in anger, and the jade bells on her boots jingled.

Sima Chunlei held their hands and said, "Let's discuss the name slowly."

She leaned closer to Lin Zhen, the scent of magnolia on her body mixed with the sweetness of roses coming over her, "Husband, can we go back home now? I want to see Chengyu."

As she spoke, she blinked her big watery eyes.

Lin Zhen was amused by her and reached out to pinch her cheek: "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."

Lin Zhen stood up, stuffed a few pieces of snacks into his mouth, and stood up to say goodbye to Murong Yan, but was grabbed by the corner of his clothes.

Murong Yan turned her face away, her ears reddening. "Come to my palace for dinner tonight. The imperial kitchen has just made crab roe soup dumplings."

After that, without waiting for his response, she started to eat with relish.

Lin Zhen and Sima Chunlei left the palace and got into a beautifully decorated carriage.

As soon as Sima Chunlei got in the car, she couldn't wait to throw herself into his arms.

"Husband, I miss you so much~" She raised her face, her red lips almost touching his, "Let me smell your scent, please~"

Before Lin Zhen could react, her soft lips covered him.
