Forced to Marry the Enemy PrinceChapter 7.1

Xian Sheng was fuming with anger.

He believed that since Zhan Lue said that he would make the Liang Country die with him had he died meant that he didn’t intend on treating this marriage seriously. 9fzlAZ

Xian Sheng had no idea how long he could continue to live, so he’ll get through day by day right now.

Coughs. He felt powerless, so he turned his head to the side instead.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Now that things had come to this point, he didn’t have the right to go against Zhan Lue anymore. Xian Sheng teared up a bit after hearing Zhan Lue’s words.

“You refuse to call me hubby?” Zhan Lue’s hand wiped Xian Sheng’s wet forehead and said, “I made sure the princess gets to eat and drink well, yet you didn’t sleep well as you should. You fainted in the sedan chair today. Those who knew about princess’ condition would pity you for your weak body. But for those who don’t know…they would think that you have something against our Jin Country.” Mo6wKS

Zhan Lue…is angry?

Xian Sheng was sensitive towards people’s emotions. Although Zhan Lue was saying this in a gentle tone and he treated him gently as well, Xian Sheng still detected his faint anger.

Lately, it was true that he hadn’t slept well in the post station. It was because he had just arrived in an unfamiliar country and also because he was worried about the wedding.

It was because of these thoughts that he fainted today. However, he didn’t expect Zhan Lue to see through this. He suddenly felt guilty and rubbed the palm of his hand on his body, looking ill at ease.

He had a clear face like an egg whose shell had been peeled off. Zhan Lue stared at Xian Sheng and his gaze deepened, “Princess hasn’t slept the entire night because you’re excited for our wedding or because…you’re scared of me?”

His pitch-black eyelashes flickered and Xian Sheng debated, “Why should I be scared of you?”

Although he seemed to be panicking, there was a sense of seriousness in his expression. Zhan Lue stared at him for a while before smiling. “Princess is right. We’re a couple and in the future, we’re on the same boat. We’ll suffer misfortune and enjoy blessings together. Why would any wife be scared of their husband?”

He continued, “I am overthinking this.” zfy5q

He stood up and put the curtains by the side of the bed down. While doing so, he glanced at Xian Sheng and said meaningfully, “See you tonight.”

Then, he let go and the heavy curtains separated the two. hdw bt

Zhan Lue stood on the other side for a moment before leaving. As he walked out, Xian Sheng heard him order, “Bring the items inside. Don’t disturb the princess’ sleep.”

The matron of honor said, “…It’s not even time to lift the cover or share a nuptial cup yet. Why is she going to sleep?”

“Let her eat something before going to sleep.”

“Ok.” AWhci8

Then, someone walked into the room and then secretly left. Xian Sheng laid there for a while and was about to fall asleep when he heard the door being pushed open again. Ruyi’s voice rang, “His Highness ordered someone to bring in a bowl of edible bird’s nest for the princess. He wants you to sleep after you’re done eating.”

Xian Sheng touched his stomach and immediately sat up. He pulled the curtains to the side as Ruyi said, “The matron of honor is waiting outside. Princess, just eat it for now.”

He grabbed the bowl and had two scoops. He listened to the matron of honor murmuring badly about him. She was talking about how the bride should’ve sat up straight in bed for the whole day during the wedding day. Then, the groom would come to lift the cover off the bride’s head. Who dares to let the matron of honor wait outside in the cold? Even more, the bride gets to sleep inside.

But this was the Crown Prince’s order, and no one dared to defy it. d0txnL

“His Highness is a considerate person.” Ruyi commented.

Xian Sheng said nothing. After the whole day of torment, he finally got to eat something. His stomach felt much better and he quickly fell asleep.

The matron of honor went from criticizing Xian Sheng for his lack of manners to feeling lifeless outside as she had to endure the cold wind. She stood outside, in a daze.

Ruyi and Yue Hua had worn thick clothes. Compared to the matron of honor, they were instead worried. W2fySi

Zhan Lue was only good to Xian Sheng because he was beautiful and thought that he was a weak princess, thus the reason why he treated Xian Sheng considerately. But Zhan Lue would probably be furious and indignant once he uncovered the truth.

They hoped that time could pass by slower.

However, time never satisfied people’s wishes. By evening, the drunk Zhan Lue was supported over by a few young masters and Jiang Qin. “Ok, ok. We should all go. Let’s not disturb the Crown Prince on his wedding night.”

Zhan Lue stood outside the door as he pinched the space between his eyebrows. He said in a slightly drunk tone, “Stop creating an uproar. Go back and drink.” nQ3ZFr

He dismissed the guys away before pushing the door and walking in.

A gust of cold wind blew into the warm room. There was movement from behind the curtains. Xian Sheng was startled awake.

The door closed and then a chair scraped against the floor. Xian Sheng held in his breath. After a while, there was still no movement. He tested the waters, pulling the curtains to the side to see a pair of intoxicated eyes.

Zhan Lue stood in front of the bed. It was unclear how long he had been staring at him for. Xian Sheng’s heart thumped violently and then his chin was lifted by Zhan Lue. 3g97n1

“Your Highness…” The hand was like a metal plier and Xian Sheng instinctively went to tug on Zhan Lue’s wrist. The strong smell of alcohol attacked Xian Sheng’s nose and then his lips were captured in the next moment.

Zhan Lue was as hungry as a wolf, hungry and greedy for the kiss. He was too strong and ten Xian Shengs wouldn’t be his match.

Xian Sheng thought about his situation. He couldn’t retreat nor could he push him away.

He laid down and his tears flowed down his cheeks. Zhan Lue finally let him go. Zq4j7h

Zhan Lue supported his elbow behind Xian Sheng’s head as he glanced at Xian Sheng’s huge eyes which were brimming with tears. He slowly moved over and kissed his tears away, asking in a hoarse voice, “Why are you crying?”

Xian Sheng was truly frightened by this. He was shaking uncontrollably. “We, we still didn’t share a nuptial cup yet…”

Zhan Lue reached over to wipe Xian Sheng’s tears. He said, “I’ll bring the cups over.”

He moved a step back and Xian Sheng slightly relaxed his stiffened body but then started shaking again. He sucked in a breath and then started coughing violently. He helped himself up and then climbed out of bed. He followed Zhan Lue to the table and talked before Zhan Lue could, “Let me.” nQF1Iq

He poured the wine with trembling hands. The wine spilled. Zhan Lue stared silently. It was unclear whether he had drank too much wine which caused him to react slowly or because he was thinking about something, but Xian Sheng couldn’t see through him.

He poured the two jadeite cups with wine, but there was excess wine on the table as well.

Xian Sheng delivered a cup to Zhan Lue. His eyes were slightly red and swollen, brimming with tears.

Zhan Lue grabbed the cup and turned his wrist around. Xian Sheng shyly followed suit. He stiffly drank the cup of wine with Zhan Lue before separating his arm from Zhan Lue’s. jGHOnd

Zhan Lue placed the cup down and said, “Does the princess want to do anything else?”

“I…” He looked around and said, “I want to sleep on that small bed today.”

Zhan Lue glanced at it and raised his eyebrows. “That’s a great place.”

Xian Sheng asked skeptically, “You…allow me?” dBzj5D

“Since we’re married, this entire Crown Prince’s residence is your home. You can sleep wherever you want.”
