Seeing that Jiang Yuyan wasn’t angry, Zhong Yong became bolder. A man should be more thick-skinned. He couldn’t let his wife take the initiative on the wedding night, right?

Jiang Yuyan’s face reddened when she heard Zhong Yong’s words. She nodded shyly as a form of surrender.

Zhong Yong was instantly happy to receive Jiang Yuyan’s approval. Once he was happy, he felt that the groom’s clothes were too much of a hindrance. He loosened his grip and shook his shoulders, causing the clothes to fall. Then, he went over and picked up Jiang Yuyan.

Jiang Yuyan was so nervous that she pushed his chest. Seeing that he was naked, she covered her eyes with her hands and didn’t dare to look at Zhong Yong.

She suddenly remembered that she was not wearing any clothes and hurriedly covered her chest with her hands. This action amused Zhong Yong.

“Madam, I saw everything.”

Jiang Yuyan became even more embarrassed when he said that.

“Hehe, how can you have a bridal chamber if you don’t have thick skin?”

Zhong Yong wasn’t angry at all. He smiled wickedly and lowered his head to kiss the red lips that he missed earlier. He strode over to the bed and gently placed Jiang Yuyan on it as if she were a fragile porcelain piece. He pulled down the wedding curtain to block the spring light.

Three years of longing had been repaid in one day, so it was inevitable that he would make a big move. As soon as she lay on the bed, Jiang Yuyan exclaimed,

“What is this?”

She held her waist and sat up. She lifted the blanket and poured out a lot of dates and longans. Jiang Yuyan suddenly remembered.

“We have to put these away. We’ll make tea together tomorrow.”

“My wife just knows how to live.”

Zhong Yong started praising Jiang Yuyan when he heard her words. His wife was so thrifty that she even had to soak it in water to drink.

Zhong Yong took out a bunch of keys from his shirt and handed it to Jiang Yuyan with a smile,

“This key is for you. You can take care of the money in the future.”

“Alright.”

Jiang Yuyan put away the keys without hesitation. She picked up the dates and longans and put them into a purse as she said to Zhong Yong,

“This is good luck. I can’t let others eat and drink it.”

“Yes, yes, Madam is right.”

Zhong Yong looked at his wife with a smile. He was patient. He waited until Jiang Yuyan picked up the red dates and longans before pressing his wife on the bed again.

On the wedding night of Zhong Yong, Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing were lying on the dragon bed, discussing Zhong Yong’s marriage. Overall, it was a very successful wedding. It was lively and grand.

Xiao Zeyu sighed,

“If only godfather and godmother were still here, they could see Yong ‘er get married and have children.”

“Yeah, if only Godmother were alive.”

Su Qing also wanted to be with her godmother. This was the first time she felt motherly love, which softened her cold heart.

The atmosphere was inexplicably sad. Xiao Zeyu suddenly broke the sadness with a chuckle,

“Hah…”

“What are you laughing at?”

Su Qing asked him in confusion.

“Yong ‘er is so silly. I wonder if he’ll have a bridal chamber?”

“Ha, what are you thinking?”

When Su Qing heard that Xiao Zeyu was laughing because of this, she angrily patted his chest and smiled at him,

“Isn’t it a man’s instinct to sleep in the bridal chamber?”

“That’s not right, you know? Before a prince marries a wife, they must send experienced palace maids to serve him and teach him how to enter the bridal chamber.”

“Qing ‘er, shall I teach you?” Xiao Zeyu smiled evilly as he looked at Su Qing.

“Are you serious?”

“What’s so serious about a husband and wife? Ziqi and Yun ‘er should have a younger brother or sister. Qing’ er, come, let’s have a wedding night.”

Xiao Zeyu turned around and hugged Su Qing. He instantly transformed from a stern, authoritative emperor into a clingy little rascal. His hands were all over Su Qing’s body, and he was swamped.

On Zhong Yong’s side, he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely as he sat up and panted heavily. He was angry with himself.

“Where did you go wrong?”

Jiang Yuyan looked at him shyly. Before she got married, her mother had told her some things about the boudoir. However, as a girl, how could she teach a man?

They could only see Zhong Yong sweating profusely and unable to find a place. In the end, Jiang Yuyan endured her shyness and personally taught Zhong Yong. Only then did the two of them complete what they had to do.

“Yuyan, you’re so good. I love you.”

Zhong Yong, who was extremely satisfied, murmured. He felt that his wife was the best woman in the world. He wanted to love her for the rest of his life.

“Now that you think I’m good, will you stop liking me if I become an old hag?”

Jiang Yuyan had no confidence. She was already 21 years old and couldn’t compare to those 14- or 15-year-old girls.

Zhong Yong’s position was getting bigger and bigger. She was worried that Zhong Yong would not like her in the future.

After being by Su Qing’s side for a long time, Jiang Yuyan also began to yearn for a monogamous marriage.

“Why wouldn’t I like you?”

Zhong Yong heard Jiang Yuyan’s worried voice and hurriedly lowered his head to look at her.

“Yuyan. I only want you as my woman in this life.”

Zhong Yong was a simple-minded person, but he wasn’t stupid. He knew how much responsibility he had to bear by saying this, but he was willing to never take a concubine for Jiang Yuyan.

His Yu Yan was intelligent, capable, gentle, and virtuous. They had gone through life and death together, and this relationship was not something that those beautiful girls could break up.

After Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu were done being lovey-dovey in the Palace, she lay lazily in Xiao Zeyu’s arms, dozing off. Suddenly, she remembered something important and instantly became energetic.

“Shuisheng, I previously took Li’er to the Western Regions to look for snow lotuses. On the way back, I discovered a jade mine.”

Su Qing raised her head to look at Xiao Zeyu.

“That jade mine should be massive. You could even see jade in the river. The harvest would be bountiful.”

“Is that so? This is good news.”

Xiao Zeyu had already closed his eyes, but when he heard Su Qing’s words, he instantly perked up.

“But that’s the territory of the Western Regions. If we go there to mine, will it cause a war between the two countries?”

“That doesn’t seem to belong to anyone. It’s a no-man’s land.”

In ancient times, there would be competition for resources, but in the ungoverned land, whoever found it would get it.

There was also a good saying. Whoever had the thicker arms and stronger strength, whose soldiers and horses were stronger, could determine who the resources belonged to.

Now that the Great Tang was mighty, they would not bully others, but they did not need to be so cautious about the ores they discovered.

“Alright, I’ll send someone to mine. Qing’ er, what do you think of sending Zhong Yong?”

Xiao Zeyu nodded. Gold had a price, and jade was priceless. With jade, he could earn more silver to fill the national treasury.

Any mining job like this was a lucrative one. Furthermore, one would need to take a large army to go there. Xiao Zeyu would not be at ease with ordinary people, so it was best to send Yong ‘er there.

“Zhong Yong just got married, and you want to break up the couple?”

Su Qing glared at Xiao Zeyu. A full man doesn’t know how hungry a hungry man is. Do you want to separate a newlywed? Was he siding with Zhong Yong?

“The jade mine is as important as the gold mine. I don’t feel at ease sending an ordinary person there.”

Xiao Zeyu also felt that he shouldn’t have to send Zhong Yong. There was another trustworthy person besides Zhong Yong, but Su Qing would definitely not agree..
