Chapter 886: Consummation

"Despite your young age, you’re still growing, these minor injuries will surely heal!"

"Those quack doctors at the Imperial Medical Bureau might be under someone’s influence and don’t want us well!"

"Otherwise, how could all the medicine be of no use at all?!"

Sixth Master felt somewhat helpless.

"Mother Consort! The Imperial Physician said the injury has affected the bone!"

"What do you mean ’affected the bone’? I don’t believe it. Just wait, I’ll find another master to look at you..."

Sixth Master: "..."

Searching again, last time that master made him drink something strange.

He was nearly left for dead!

Empress Dowager Zhen seemed unperturbed.

"Of course we need to search, you’re only fourteen, still a child, there’s always hope!"

"Wuwu, you mustn’t give up, I depend on you in the future!"

Sixth Prince couldn’t stand it.

"Mother Consort, what nonsense are you saying? Fifth Brother is your biological son too, he won’t ignore you!"

Empress Dowager Zhen shook her head.

"Yes, biological indeed, but look at his attitude towards Mother Consort..."

Sixth Master was incredulous.

"What’s wrong with Fifth Brother? What attitude does Mother Consort have towards him?"

Empress Dowager Zhen was stunned, staring at Sixth Prince in shock.

"You..."

"It’s because Mother Consort is worried for you!"

"Mother Consort has poured her heart out for you, and this is how you repay her?"

Sixth Prince lowered his head, filled with helplessness.

"Alright alright, Mother Consort, I was wrong, I won’t speak anymore, okay?!"

Empress Dowager Zhen was already tearful.

The mother and son argued again.

In the end, Sixth Prince, frustrated, stormed out.

Empress Dowager Zhen looked at the empty room, feeling deeply bitter.

"Tao Yue, look, look at this ungrateful wolf I’ve raised!"

"All my heart is invested in him, fearing that he won’t eat well, sleep well, that his legs won’t heal, and he won’t be able to marry a good wife in the future!"

"Yet look at how he treats me!"

Empress Dowager Zhen spoke, wiping her tears.

Sister Tao, too, felt a bit helpless.

"Your Majesty, don’t take it to heart, Sixth Master is still a child!"

"When he grows older, he’ll surely understand Your Majesty’s sincere devotion!"

Empress Dowager Zhen listened, feeling slightly better.

"Forget it forget it!"

"I must owe him from a past life!"

Sister Tao laughed.

"You, with your sharp tongue, soft heart!"

"Oh right, Your Majesty, the medicine from the master last time didn’t seem effective, shall we continue searching?"

Empress Dowager Zhen gritted her teeth.

"Search! Why not search!"

"I don’t believe my son’s leg will be ruined for life!"

"Find the master and inquire if there’s a divine doctor specializing in treating leg injuries!"

"If there is, bring them into the palace!"

"Yes!"

Sister Tao quickly responded.

...

Outside the palace

Fifth Master and Hai Feng returned to the manor at dusk.

The two were mutually annoyed.

Although Hai Feng didn’t understand why the previously attentive Fifth Master suddenly became cold.

But she felt somewhat relieved.

After all, it means no consummation, avoiding dislike, which is quite good.

So, the first thing upon returning to the manor.

Hai Feng had someone tidy up Fifth Master’s bedding and send it to the front courtyard.

She also sent a message.

The gist of it was:

I am rough, have bad sleeping habits, afraid to disturb the Master’s peace, so better for him to sleep in the front courtyard!

When Fifth Master saw his bedding roll.

He was furious, suppressing his anger, he spat.

"It’s one thing for my Mother Consort to despise me, but her as well, why?"

The little eunuch beside him quickly approached.

"Master! Sister Jin is outside seeking an audience!"

"It seems to be about... the consummation!"

On the wedding night, the bridal veil had no stains.

It was obvious the two hadn’t consummated.

As a confidante of Prince Jin, accompanying Sister Jin felt very anxious.

The young couple’s wedding must be consummated.

Fifth Prince was drunk last night, which was understandable.

Tonight couldn’t be missed again.

So, upon entering, Sister Jin knelt down.

"Greetings to Fifth Prince!"

Fifth Master couldn’t have her kneeling, quickly asked her to rise.

Pretending to be ignorant, he asked: "What business brings Sister here?"

Sister Jin rose, contemplating for a moment.

Then directly spoke her mind.

"Fifth Prince, don’t blame this old lady for speaking out!"

"Yesterday you were drunk, and didn’t consummate, today mustn’t be missed, you have to..."

She rambled a lot.

Unembarrassed, she put everything young people are shy to speak of, all out in the open.

Fifth Prince blushed from head to toe.

"Um... Sister Jin, this matter..."

Sister Jin continued.

"Fifth Prince, don’t feel shy, you’re married, it’s only right!"

"Without consummation, how to continue the family line? How to extend the family tree?!"

"Only with consummation, everything is complete!"

Fifth Master: "..." utterly defeated.

After Sister Jin left.

Fifth Prince thought for a long time before finally deciding.

"I married, consummation... it’s only natural!"

"You despise this Prince? This Prince will possess you anyway!"

"In fact, this Prince already possesses you!"

Fifth Prince smiled with a hint of coldness.

...

After dinner.

Hai Feng felt a bit idle.

After bathing and changing clothes, there was nothing to do in the room.

So she called her maids.

"All of you, remove these red decorations for this Commandery Princess, they’re an eyesore!"

A maid directly advised.

"Princess Consort, you haven’t returned to the manor yet, removing them right after marriage isn’t good..."

Hai Feng gave a cold glance.

"The Commandery Princess isn’t to be lectured by a servant!"

"Not removed? Fine! Then this Commandery Princess will burn them!"

The maid panicked.

"Hey hey hey! Princess Consort, you mustn’t!"

"Your servant will remove them right away!"

Truly distressed.

Better to remove them than actually setting a fire.

Thinking so, she quickly got up, preparing to call people to remove the items.

Unexpectedly, a voice came from outside.

"Remove what?"

Everyone was surprised, including Hai Feng.

Fifth Prince stepped in.

Wearing an apricot-colored Commandery Prince attire, adorned with a four-clawed python and donning a white jade crown.

Having a face resembling the Emperor of Great Chu.

Standing tall in the candlelight, quite handsome indeed!

Hai Feng’s heart skipped a beat, her face turned slightly red.

"Greetings, Prince!"

The maids hurriedly paid respects.

Fifth Prince waved a large hand.

"All of you, go! Prepare the scented bath, tonight the Prince wants to have a couple’s bath with the Princess Consort!"

His voice raspy with a hint of passion.

Making Hai Feng’s heart tremble, her face even redder.

The maids quickly retreated.

Hai Feng lost her previous momentum.

Fifth Prince stepped forward with a smile.

Hai Feng subconsciously stepped back.

Fifth Prince’s eyes flashed.

"What? You don’t want to?!"

Hai Feng’s face flushed brightly.

"You..."

"What about me?"

Fifth Prince hugged her, falling onto the bed behind.

He began kissing her wildly, tearing at her clothes as if venting like a furious beast!
