Husband, Be A Gentleman - Chapter 5-2

Chapter 5-2

Chapter Five (Part 2 of 2)


The emperor held a wedding banquet for Pei Jin and Yan Shi Ning at the palace .

The emperor wasn’t close with Pei Jin, but the emperor ordered the palace servants to prepare an extravagant banquet worthy of a prince .

Everyone were captivated by ninth gentle prince’s handsomeness in his wedding attire and many unwed women were envious they weren’t the bride .

But everyone understood that both the handsome groom and the bride were unfavored children in their families, which made them the perfect pair .

The crown prince and seventh prince’s supporters were relieved that gentle ninth prince married someone with no family connections that had power in court . They were happy gentle ninth prince truly didn’t want to be emperor .

All the wedding guests were curious why there was a bruise on the groom’s forehead .

‘I was too excited about marrying Lady Yan that I walked into a door,’ Pei Jin explained to the wedding guests .

The wedding guests believed the groom’s explanation without suspicions . But the bride’s mouth frowned under the red veil .

The sounds of firecrackers thundered throughout the palace .

The bride and groom kowtowed to the heavens, their parents and to each other . Afterward the bride was brought to the bridal chamber .

Yan Shi Ning kept silent and was unhappy throughout the wedding ceremony . But the moment she sat on a bed, her nervousness surfaced . Mouthy boy didn’t follow tradition and stood in front of the bed for a long time instead of immediately leaving the bridal chamber to drink congratulatory wine with the wedding guests .

Yan Shi Ning wanted to pull her veil off to see what mouthy boy was scheming . But there were still other people inside the chamber so she didn’t want to shock them by not behaving like a virtuous lady .

Pei Jin didn’t want to leave the bridal chamber . He stood silently thinking of a way to discreetly look at his wife’s face . A while later he smiled .

‘Something fell on the floor!’ Pei Jin cried out .

Pei Jin crouched and his wife’s veil ‘accidently’ fell . He stood up and whispered in his wife’s ear . ‘Wait for me, I’ll return soon . ’

Yan Shi Ning saw the fake apologetic expression on mouthy boy’s face and she used all her will strength to suppress her anger .

Pei Jin was satisfied he got to see his wife’s face and happily left the chamber . The little lion was indeed beautiful on their wedding day .

After Yan Shi Ning was left alone in the chamber, her pained body collapsed on the bed . Unfortunately her back landed on countless jujubes (Chinese red dates) . Her stomach rumbled, at least the jujubes were edible and she quickly ate the jujubes .

Pei Jin kept his promise, Yan Shi Ning didn’t get to blink many times before he returned to the chamber . She hurriedly put her veil back on and sat upright on the bed .

‘No one needs to support me,’ Pei Jin said . ‘I’m not drunk! Ninth prince? Who is ninth prince? I’m not ninth prince . Are you Gentleman Li? No? Who are you? Seventh brother? Perhaps I’m drunk . I’m not a good wine drinker, forgive me . Today is such a happy day and I drank too much wine… don’t need to support me . I can walk on my own . Everyone can continue drinking… where is the door? There’s the door… no? Why is the door so high?’

‘Ninth prince, that’s a window!’ a wedding guest warned .

Yan Shi Ning almost laughed loudly . Of course mouthy boy would climb through a window . She remembered that year he drank many wine jars yet he was still sober . What not a good wine drinker? What a liar!

A sober Pei Jin entered the chamber, closed the door and rushed to the bed . ‘Wife, did you wait long?’

Pei Jin pulled off the veil . Under the lit red candles, he stared at the soft glow of Yan Shi Ning’s beautiful face .

‘Big brother, what are you looking at?’ Yan Shi Ning asked impatiently .

Pei Jin raised his hand and touched Yan Shi Ning’s lips .

Yan Shi Ning’s body stiffened at the warm touch of Pei Jin’s fingers on her lips . She looked at his intense gaze and her heart pounded .

Suddenly Pei Jin laughed . ‘Look at how nervous you are . I was looking at what was on your lips . ’

Yan Shi Ning looked at Pei Jin’s fingers, it was the skin of a jujube . Heavens! She received a deadly scare .

‘Someone was thinking too much before,’ Pei Jin teased . He sat on the bed and took off his shoes . ‘It’s alright to think too much, sooner or later it will happen . Wife, come here and we can perform the main event together . ’

‘What main event?’ Yan Shi Ning asked in a panicked tone .

‘What did you say?’ Pei Jin teased and took off his outer robe .

The words ‘wedding night’ echoed in Yan Shi Ning’s head .

Pei Jin saw the anxiety on Yan Shi Ning’s face and he laughed loudly . ‘What other main event is there? Of course bathing then sleeping . ’

A while later the wedding guests that were eavesdropping outside the bridal chamber were smiling slyly .

‘Big brother, be gentle!’ Yan Shi Ning cried out .

‘Is this spot more comfortable?’ Pei Jin asked .

‘It hurts!’ Yan Shi Ning said .
