I woke up as the Villainous Empress-Chapter 127

127 First Night

While Yang Ning was panicking at the thought of spending a night with Zheng Liang in his chamber alone, Xiaowei looked towards the closed door anxiously and went to Yang Ning’s side.

She held onto Yang Ning’s hand and said, ” Milady, you must be tired. You should take some rest.” As saying this, she started walking towards the bed that was covered in red and white rose petals while pulling on Yang Ning’s hand.

Yang Ning didn’t say anything and simply followed her, still lost in her complicated thoughts. When Xiaowei pushed on her shoulders gently to make her sit on the bed, she quietly obliged.

“Milady, please sit here. You should sit here like this.” Xiaowei adjusted Yang Ning’s skirt for her and spread it over the bed in a graceful manner.

After adjusting her posture, she looked at her with a smile and said, “His Highness must be returning to the chamber at any moment.”

” You should sit here and wait for him until he comes to the chamber. Also, cover your face with the veil, you shouldn’t remove it before he comes back. Alright?” She instructed her well while making sure to pull down the veil to cover her face.

“Eh, suddenly? Why? Are you going somewhere?” Yang Ning was baffled when Xiaowei started to walk away from her.

“Are you going to bring some snacks for me? How nice of you.” Yang Ning was touched by Xiaowei’s thoughtful actions. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄ｅ𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺

Even though she ate some food at the wedding banquet while watching the performances because of which she almost dozed off and fell asleep in front of everyone, she was still not full.

.....

Moreover, Yu Ling was eyeing her from far away and she could feel from her gaze that she was warning her to eat slowly and less, like a lady does.

How can she eat to her heart’s content in this kind of stressful situation?

She was starving after going through so many rituals and ceremonies in a day. It would be great to have some late-night snacks.

Xiaowei pursed her lips at her lady’s imagination and politely rejected her, “Milady, I am not going to get some snacks for you. You cannot eat late-night snacks anymore.”

“Why? Why can’t I eat late-night snacks anymore?” She asked in bewilderment. Food is the only way for her to release stress. What will she do if she doesn’t eat food?

“Because it is not considered appropriate for a lady to have a big appetite. It is not lady-like.”

“Moreover, today is your wedding night. How can you have snacks when His Highness is about to return to the chamber? It will not be proper for you to do that.” Xiaowei said with a subtle smile on her face.

Yang Ning was speechless to see Xiaowei who had suddenly become so eloquent in front of her.

It is all because of Lady Yu Ling. What has she been teaching her innocent Xiaowei to become so rigid with her?

” If you’re not going to get me some snacks, then where are you going? You aren’t planning to leave me here and run away, are you?” Yang Ning questioned her.

Xiaowei didn’t mind Yang Ning’s unhappy expressions and clasped her hands in front of her politely and smiled at her, ” Yes. I cannot stay here any longer.”

“I should take my leave before His Highness arrives. Milady, I am sure you will do well. Just....do not talk too much.” She said,

Her lady is the most beautiful woman in the capital, there is no doubt about that. However, for the past few months, she has been acting strangely and doesn’t have any control over her tongue.

There were many incidents where she got into trouble because of her loosened mischievous tongue. How come her calm and collected-minded lady has suddenly become so passionate about everything?

She was worried that her lady might say something unpleasant to His Highness and will be rude to him on their first night. If that happened, then it wouldn’t be a good thing for their new journey as husband and wife.

Yang Ning pursed her lips at Xiaowei’s hesitant sarcasm and could see why she told her to not speak much. She was worried that she would say something inappropriate and would anger Zheng Liang.

Well.....truth be told, she was worried about the same as well. As long as he does not prompt her, she will try her best to keep her cool.

Seeing Xiaowei turning around to leave, Yang Ning tried to stop her and said, “Xiaoiwei....please don’t leave me here alone! I cannot sleep without you sleeping in the same room as me. ”

Yang Ning pleaded with her sparkling eyes but Xiaowei shook her head in embarrassment and left her lady alone in the chamber.

She cannot get weak in front of her lady’s rabbit-like large and clear eyes and get in the way of her happiness.

Because if she stays any longer in the chamber, she will feel like interrupting the newly married couple in their important business.

She doesn’t want to be that kind of annoying person in her lady’s love life.

After Xiaowei left the chamber, Yang Ning couldn’t help but let out a grunt in disbelief at her cheekiness.

How can she ignore her pleadings so heartlessly and run away when she needs her support the most?

“Argh! This veil and this dress are so annoying.” Yang Ning groaned in irritation as the veil was making her life even more complicated as it is.

She pushed back the veil over her head and sighed heavily in frustration. Zheng Liang hasn’t even arrived yet.

How long is she going to sit there like a mannequin on the bed with all the setup?

She ignored everything and looked around in search of water. “Where is the water?” She frowned as she was feeling parched due to so much stress.

She needed to loosen herself by drinking some water.

When she noticed a jade pot and two small cups on the side table, she leaned over to the side without getting off the bed and poured herself some water into the cup.

She gulped down the water filled in the cup in one shot. However, a few creases appeared on her forehead after drinking the water in one go.

“Ahhh! What is this? This is not water!” She frowned at the bitter taste and burning sensation left in her mouth after she drank the clear drink in one go.

“Don’t tell me.....is this wedding wine?” Yang Ning was speechless when she realized that she drank the alcohol that she was supposed to share with Zheng Liang.

She pursed her lips and licked her lips feeling guilty for drinking the wine on her own when she was supposed to drink it with Zheng Liang.

She cleared her throat and looked at the cup of wine with her lust-filled eyes. “Why does it leave an addictive sweet taste afterward?” She commented while staring at the wine pot.

Should I just have one more cup of drink? I am still feeling thirsty.

After thinking about it for a few moments, she poured another drink for herself and gulped it in one go as well. ” How can it taste so good the more you drink it?” She remarked and drank two more cups of wine before pausing in action to take a deep breath.

“Why am I feeling so hot?” She groaned and loosened the upper vest that was making her feel uncomfortable.

“There is still some wine in the pot. Should I finish it? Otherwise, it will rot if no one drinks it.” She pursed her lips and was about to pour another drink to herself when she heard the maid’s voices from outside.

“Your Highness, Her Highness is waiting for you inside.” The maids informed Zheng Liang who just returned to his chamber after seeing off all the guests.

Zheng Liang pursed his lips when he heard the maid’s words and felt strange when he heard that Yang Ning was waiting for him inside his chamber.

He cleared his throat awkwardly and took a deep breath before pushing the door open and entering the chamber.

As soon as he entered the chamber, his eyes fell on Yang Ning who was sitting on the bed with her legs crossed and the veil covering her face.

His heart stopped for a moment at this scene as he couldn’t believe that this night had finally come into his life. The woman he used to loathe before the most has now become his wife.

So many things have changed in this short time. Who would have thought that he would get married to Yang Luoyang’s daughter and not hate this arrangement anymore?

Seeing her waiting for him like this made him feel strange emotions that he has never felt before. Is it the moment when he could remove her veil and see her face for the first time in the whole day?
