THE FLOWER PALACE'S SECRET

Chapter 6: Lessons for the Little Wife

“You won't spend the night at the palace?” ask the Queen Mother after the ceremony. The palace court officials have returned home, there are still some people who are still talking.

The Emperor had already returned to his residence, as well as Grand Prince Yan and his family.

Although the palace had always been open to the two, Shen Yanzhia and Lin Zian had never felt the same comfort as in their respective residences. That's why they both shook their heads.

“Ya. I hope you are happy,” said the Queen Mother as she hugged them one by one. Shen Yanzhia could feel such sincerity. However mischievous he was, Shen Yanzhia was also a human. His heart is also the heart of man. She thought, The Queen Mother has been too kind to her.

“Go home first. I have business for a while,” Lin Zian said as soon as the two reached outside the palace gate. Shen Yanzhia rolled her eyeballs.

“Go only. I won't wait for you,” reply while riding to the horse carriage. Lin Zian pulled his horse rope quickly. His red shirt partially covered the saddle of the horse.

A board reading “The residence of the Prince of Qin” was finally spotted by Shen Yanzhia. It was a little far from the palace. Red cloths decorated the walls and columns hung everywhere. The main gate guards smiled and lowered their heads as soon as Shen Yanzhia got off her carriage.

“Welcome, Princess May. Now you are part of this family. You are Wangfei Qin,” said a female servant kindly.

Her clothes are a bit different from the others. Shen Yanzia probably thought that the female servant was the butler who took care of and organized all the workers in this residence. He then replied with a nod of head as soft as silk.

“Please, Mistress. Master's room is to the right of the fish pond.” Shen Yanzhia let the female servant lead the way. Then, he saw a rather large magnificent building from the other buildings. Red decorative fabrics hang more beautiful and more there.

“What is the place?” shen Yanzhia asked doubtfully.

“True, Mistress. Please come in, Sir will follow.”

“Wait! You mean, I have to room with your master?”

The female servant was somewhat surprised to hear Shen Yanzhia's question.

“Lantas, does Madam want a separate room? I figured…. Isn't it normal for a married couple to be in the same room?”

Hearing his explanation, Shen Yanzhia was stunned.

“But I.”

“May the Madam enjoy this bridal night comfortably,” said the maid while retreating. Inevitably, Shen Yanzhia finally went inside. His eyes squinted as he looked around. This room is beautiful.

Wooden ornaments decorate the walls. The ceiling is made of high quality and shiny wood. The bed is big and soft. The poles are used to hook the cover cloth. To the left of the bed was a small room with a table and writing equipment neatly arranged.

With just a single look, Shen Yanzhia could deduce: this room was more beautiful than her room in the Yun residence!

He gently stretched his body. His headdress had already come off a moment ago. Eyes tired. Body's tired. He closed his eyes. The candles stay half as bright.

Shen Yanzhia then woke up after a while. Then, he walked out of the room with his eyes squinting looking for someone.

“Hey, you! Here!” his orders were to a servant who happened to pass by.

“You need something, Mistress?” ask the waiter. He was a little surprised because in the middle of the night his master had not slept.

“Where is your employer?"

“Mistress Means, wangye?”

“Ya then who else?”

“I guess Mister is with you.”

“I won't ask if he's here. Tell me, where does he usually go?”

The waiter looked nervous.

“Not to be afraid. I won't harm you.”

“Mu..Maybe the madam can look for him at the brothel. Sir usually likes to talk to some people there.”

Shen Yanzhia looked annoyed. That shitty guy ran off on his bridal night. Shen Yanzhia could tell that the man was a woman on an ordinary day considering that the man had just returned to the capital. But, he could not tolerate it today.

Can the man give her a little face? After a long moment of thought, Shen Yanzhia then rushed off. He had to go find Lin Zian. Without any escort, Shen Yanzhia walked out of the residence. The guards just looked down.

“Nona, where are you going?” tanya Tan’er who just happened to arrive.

“Revenge.”

Tan’er who was worried then decided to follow him. Shen Yanzhia continued to walk through the night. People are still passing by. Some of them looked astonishedly at Shen Yanzhia as she was still wearing a wedding dress and walking in a hurry. Some others were indifferent and allowed such a scene to pass by just like that.

“Nona, careful. You can tripping over your own dress!”

“Quick! I'll catch that shitty guy wet!”

At the end of the street, a building with a colorful light dazzled his eyes. A glimmer of smile then rose at both corners of her fiery red lips.

After slightly making a fuss, Shen Yanzhia managed to enter the building. Erotic music and dance first welcomed her. Some of the comfort women looked surprised by his arrival.

“Nona, it is not uncommon for a woman to visit a brothel. What are you looking for?” ask the brothel owner.

“I'm looking for my husband.”

“It is impossible for Miss' husband to come to a place like this on her bridal night,” the woman said as she glanced at the clothes Shen Yanzhia was wearing.

“If you can't help me find my husband, shut up.” Shen Yanzhia continued to search with both of her eyeballs.

“Nona, I think you're wrong place!”

“Why are you so noisy? I will not destroy your place of business! Shut up and let me find that bastard!”

Shen Yanzhia went up to the second floor. Tan’er helped her by opening each room. Some of the occupants of the room looked angry and were disturbed. Shen Yanzhia then descended back downstairs. The woman who owned the brothel followed him.

“Can!”

“Are you okay leaving your bride? You even fun to drink with us,” said the man in blue. The man in red shook his head.

“He won't wait for me. He himself said it. After all, this marriage is only a marriage of the word, not my own will. If I want, I can marry all the beautiful girls in the capital.”

“Really? Then wouldn't the Emperor be angry if he found out you ran away on your wedding night?”

“My father won't know. Do you think he has time to hear the news about me?”

“Be careful with your talk!” yell, man in yellow. They don't realize that a woman is watching and listening to their conversation in the back.

“Your bride, what is she like?” ask the man in yellow.

“What is she beautiful?” ask the man in blue.

The man in red laughed.

“What did you say? Beauitiful? Let me recall. It doesn't seem too bad. Ah, I'm upset with him. Know it? Today he played with me. He nearly ruined the marriage and embarrassed the Emperor. You know what's worse than that? He is very heavy and noisy.”

Shen Yanzhia could not stand it. He took out a bottle of drink from the waiter and poured it over the head of the man in red, then threw it into the middle of the table until the dishes and cups around him broke.

“You crazy?”

The man in red clothes snapped.

“Ah I forgot there was a crazy man talking about me in such a way. I did not intentionally! Really am! I just want to make that crazy guy go crazy!” shen Yanzhia said in a fiery manner.

“Shen Yanzhia?”

The man in red was shocked after a while. Shen Yanzhia looked at him coldly. I don't know since when, the aura in this room became gripping like a haunted house. The music stopped and the dancers took the stage. They prefer to witness a commotion that attracts attention.

“What? You're aware of your crazy?”

“You! How dare you insult Prince Qin!” yell, man in blue.

“Injected? Is this what you call insulting? So what did this crazy guy say was not including insults?”

“You who? How dare to disturb our tranquility!” exclaim another man.

“I am Xiao Jing Mei, wife of your beloved mad Prince Qin!” Shen Yanzhia retorted fieryly.

The man in blue looked very surprised. Really, he did not expect that this woman was really Shen Yanzhia or Xiao Jing Mei, the wife of Lin Zian or Xiao Qin whom they had just talked about.

“You're surprised? You think I didn't hear anything you guys were talking about me?”

Tan’er who saw her master blood up tried to calm her down. He knew very well what would happen if his master was already really angry.

If the Yun residence alone could be destroyed, let alone with a lowly place like this? Even now, Shen Yanzhia acted as if she was the ruler here. His aura was very domineering. But everything will be in vain. Shen Yanzhia would not be easy to handle.

“Sorry Wangye, if you have a problem with your wife, I hope you solve it outside. Please don't make a fuss in a low place like this.” The woman who owns the brothel interrupts.

“True. Yanzhia, let's finish this at the residence!”

Lin Zian held back the anger. In a fit of annoyance he pulled Shen Yanzia outside the brothel. His expression cannot be defined. He felt humiliated because Shen Yanzhia humiliated him in public. Lin Zian never thought that the woman would be so brave.

The rumor that said that Princess Xiao Jing Mei was wild turned out to be true. Lin Zian even witnessed it himself. Lin Zian felt, this woman is more than wild!

Shen Yanzhia removed her hand from Lin Zian's grasp violently. She walked quickly ahead of her husband with big steps.

Hearts cheering! He has got revenge! Shen Yanzhia thought, whoever bothered her first, then she would bother him back.

If his own brothers he retorted, what was the difference with Lin Zian? He's just a stranger who happens to be tied to a wedding leash with her.

As soon as the two reached the residence, Lin Zian pulled back Shen Yanzhia's hand and brought her inside the room. The half-living light candle is now gone. The bridal room dimmed.

Lin Zian threw him roughly onto the bed. Lin Zian then blew out a light candle on the edge of the bed. The bridal room is getting dreary in light. Two small candles were left near the entrance and the writing room.

Lin Zian overstretched Shen Yanzhia's small body. Both of his hands were clutching the woman's arms. The faces of the two are close together. Shen Yanzhia immediately realized the situation. He's in danger. He couldn't give up so quickly. Her brain spun quickly thinking of something that could get her away from her husband. Niente. His brain doesn't work in awkward situations like this.

“You know your mistake, little princess?”

Lin Zian looked at his wife's pretty face. Even though her hair was removed, her beauty did not fade. The little face was glowing under the extremely dim candle lights. Her red lips clenched tightly. Shen Yanzhia turned her face to the right side and avoided the irritating gaze of her husband. Now he's really trapped. Her body was too small to defend against her husband's body.

“Let go of me, crazy bastard!”

“Sure, after I played with you.”

“Do you feel like this is a good time to play? You're drunk, Lin Zian! Let go of me!” Shen Yanzhia tried to rebel. But, that huge body would not get away that easily.

“Call me Xiao Qin, I am your husband. You yourself ‘kan who said that you are my wife? Where did the excited and brave Xiao Jing Mei go?” Lin Zian deliberately mocked him so that he was provoked by emotions again.

“Crazy! You ugly wolf!”

“Can I know why you hate me so much today, my wife?”

“Keep away from my body, I just explained, mad prince!”

Lin Zian lost his temper. He immediately kissed his wife violently. Sometimes he bites her. Shen Yanzhia did not have time to put up a fight in shock. Lin Zian continued to kiss him without releasing both of his hands. The tie of her red hair moved and covered Shen Yanzhia's eyes.

“You're foul-mouthed for no reason. I haven't even had time to open your head cover.”

Seeing Shen Yanzhia fall asleep, Lin Zian let go of her hand. He rubbed his lips with the back of his hand. Shen Yanzhia's lip dye was slightly attached to her because she kissed her for too long. Lin Zian then corrected his wife's sleeping position.

“Actually, what kind of daughter did this father give me?”

After blowing out the remaining two candles, Lin Zian walked outside the room. His steps were regular, bringing his body still wearing bridal clothes to the study room which was not far from his main room.***
