Chapter 1750 He's really useless
"How about we put a blanket in the middle as the Chu River and Han Border?"
"There's no need for that. You have to trust me. The key is for you to control yourself. Last night, you were the one who insisted on holding onto my neck and wouldn't let me leave."
Lu Zhaoling snorted and said, "Nonsense, I'm not that kind of lecherous person."
"Then you'd better remember your words, Your Highness."
Each of them was preoccupied with their own thoughts. Although they had removed their outer garments, they dared not take off their clothes too revealingly. Each of them had a quilt and lay down properly.
Nothing happened that night.
However, when they got up, both of them moved their limbs first after getting out of bed.
Zhou Shiyue quietly rubbed his lower back, while Lu Zhaoling twisted her neck and turned her shoulders. They were both trying to avoid each other, but when Lu Zhaoling heard a cracking sound from Zhou Shiyue's bones, she immediately turned around and stared at him with wide eyes.
"No way, Zhou Shiyue, what did I just hear? Are you getting all limp?"
As she spoke, she looked Zhou Shiyue up and down.
Zhou Shiyue's face darkened slightly, and he immediately retorted, "No, that's not true. I'm still young and strong! I was just worried that you might not sleep well and would move around a lot last night, so I left you some extra space. I slept right next to the edge of the bed and didn't move all night, so my joints were a little stiff just now, but I'm fine now that I've moved around a bit."
After saying that, he even twisted his body from side to side to prove himself. "See? I'm still very flexible."
That's going too far; to say he's an old man now is an overstatement.
After saying that, he glanced at Lu Zhaoling again and asked, "What were you doing just now?"
Lu Zhaoling said, "I'm fine. I'm just not used to sleeping with other people, so I need to move my limbs after I get up. I usually have my own bed and I can sleep freely and turn over however I want. But now that there's someone next to me, I can't turn over."
As she said this, her tone implied that marrying him was a loss for her.
Zhou Shiyue immediately gritted his teeth, "Really? You feel restricted in your sleeping position?"
Lu Zhaoling hadn't noticed anything yet. She nodded and said frankly, "It really isn't free. Especially for someone as tall and strong as you, even though you're right next to the edge of the bed, you actually take up most of it."
Zhou Shiyue looked down at his chest, glanced at Lu Zhaoling, and said, "Then you can forget about sleeping alone."
"Just wait for that day. When that day comes, even if I sleep next to you, you can turn over wherever you want in bed, and press yourself down wherever you want."
I guarantee you'll sleep completely free; you can sleep on top or on the bottom, it's up to you.
Lu Zhaoling stared wide-eyed at him incredulously and said, "Zhou Shiyue, are you saying something lewd?"
Zhou Shiyue said innocently, "What are you talking about? What is filthy talk? I just said you can sleep freely, how could I say anything filthy? Lu Xiaoer, let me tell you, only people with heart conditions will hear anything dirty."
"Pah!" Lu Zhaoling almost rolled her eyes.
Don't believe him! He was clearly saying something lewd.
There was a knock on the door, and Qingyin and Qingbao's voices rang out from outside.
"Your Highness and Your Highness, are you up yet? The Emperor Emeritus sent me to urge you to get up, saying that we need to go to the ancestral temple as soon as possible."
If it weren't for the Emperor Emeritus constantly urging them, the two of them definitely wouldn't have dared to urge Zhou Shiyue and Lu Zhaoling to get up.
When the retired emperor saw them come out, he looked them over and shook his head in disappointment.
He had already asked, and Yin Changxing had frankly told him that the two children could not consummate their marriage for the time being, so he asked the Emperor Emeritus not to mention anything about having children in front of them.
Yin Changxing brought up the matter with the Emperor Emeritus because he was afraid that the Emperor Emeritus would act like an old eunuch and ask when they would have children.
The reason why the Emperor Emeritus dared to send two maids to urge Zhou Shiyue and Lu Zhaoling to get up was because he knew that nothing would happen to them.
Now, upon seeing Zhou Shiyue, the Emperor Emeritus sized him up twice and found him utterly displeasing.
He muttered to himself, "He can't even use it. He doesn't look like a man at all."
Unfortunately, Zhou Shiyue overheard this sentence and stared at his father in disbelief.
What kind of talk is this? Does it mean its only purpose is to be usable?
Besides, it's not that his body is bad, but that he can't do anything for the time being. How can you say that he can't use it?
Just as Zhou Shiyue was about to argue with his father, the Emperor Emeritus saw Lu Zhaoling walking over in her new clothes and immediately put on a chrysanthemum-like smile, then floated over to Lu Zhaoling.
“Master Ling, are you settling in well at the Prince’s residence? We’re going to the Ancestral Temple today, mainly because we checked the auspicious time. It was Sect Leader Yin who chose this time. I was originally going to suggest that you sleep in a little later and not have to get up so early, but Sect Leader Yin said that if we go earlier, we can come back earlier.”
In fact, Yin Changxing meant that when it wasn't so bright, Lu Zhaoling could see the Emperor less clearly.
Moreover, if the emperor gets up early, he won't be in good spirits, and there won't be so many things to do. He probably wanted to go back to the palace to catch up on sleep as soon as possible after the ceremony.
Upon hearing the Emperor Emeritus's words, Lu Zhaoling said, "It's alright, I've actually already woken up."
The Emperor Emeritus continued her words, scolding, "Woke up so early? He must not have slept well. That brat A-Yue has never been a good sleeper since he was little. It's really a pity for Master Ling."
Zhou Shiyue listened from the side, finding it hard to believe. Who was really his biological son?
However, he was relieved. His father did not object to Lu Zhaoling's inability to produce offspring for the time being and still put Lu Zhaoling's safety first.
Father is so sensible, which saves us the trouble of arguing and quarreling.
Today, the two of them were dressed quite formally, still in red robes embroidered with gold thread.
Lu Zhaoling also had several hairpins tucked into her hair, which made her beauty appear both striking and aggressive, extremely radiant.
As dawn broke, they were already preparing to set off for the ancestral temple.
The Emperor and Empress Dowager's carriages have already departed from the palace.
Compared to Lu Zhaoling and Zhou Shiyue, the Emperor and Empress Dowager's trip out of the palace was much more grand and involved more matters. In particular, the Empress Dowager had to get up very early to dress up, so she got up even earlier and was already quite tired.
After being dragged into a dream and scolded by the Emperor Emeritus that night, neither the Empress Dowager nor the Empress has recovered and they have been feeling unwell for the past two days.
Even after applying a lot of rouge to her face this morning, the Empress Dowager's complexion was still not very good.
Sitting in the carriage, the Empress Dowager was swaying from side to side, struggling to stay awake.
