MY WASTE PRINCE

Xiao Junw.a.n.g did not force me to consume our marriage, but I was very nervous. Since lying in bed, I just closed my eyes. I don"t sleep.

I turned and saw Xiao Junw.a.n.gye who lying beside me. His sleeping position is also facing me. His breath looks regular, a sign that he is sleeping soundly.

I"m grateful he didn"t force me to consume our marriage. He just asked to sleep beside me. After we lay down, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing his face so calm while sleeping, my heart calmed down too. I remembered my mother"s words. He told me that I should not believe in rumors.

Right now I know that one of all the rumors is a lie. Xiao Junw.a.n.gye is not as ugly as people say. If he appeared at a n.o.ble party and a palace party, many n.o.ble daughters would fall in love with him.

However, he never showed up and it gave rise to many rumors. It makes people guess that Xiao Junwagye"s face was bad so he didn"t dare to attend all the parties.

From the words he said to me, I was sure he was a polite person. However, I do not know whether he is still as stupid as before.

"I love Xia He, "his words rang in my ears. My cheeks are hot. His words sounded very sincere. His eyes didn"t show that he was pretending when he said it.

I don"t know why he can fall in love with me. However, I"m happy if he loves me. Having a husband who loves me is a grace for me.

When I am watching him, his body trembled slightly. My heart become worry. Slowly, I touched his cheek. Actually my heart was pounding hard when I did it. However, I"m worried that he has a fever. Moreover, his cheeks flushed red.

Thankfully, when I touch his cheek, I don"t feel that he"s having a fever. Maybe the wine he drank, made his cheeks flush like that. He was trembling maybe because of cold. I am closely cover him with the blanket.

I remember other rumors about him. There are rumors that Xiao Junw.a.n.gye has never been follow Bixia to hunting and he hasn"t appeared at parties because of his weak physique. I hope the rumor is wrong. I will be sad if someone who loves me become sick.

"Chenqie will take good care of Junw.a.n.gye. Chenqie won"t let Junw.a.n.gye get sick, "I make a promise in my heart. Who loves me, I promise to love him too.

When I was busy thinking, Xiao Junw.a.n.gye"s hand held my waist. I am surprised. However, I realized that he did it unconsciously. He smiled and wanted, "Benw.a.n.g is happy and will hug Xia He like this forever,"

I looked at his eyes that were still closed. Hearing his delusion, I smiled. It feels funny to hear adults delirious. On the other hand, I"m happy because he loves me even in his dreams.

Slowly my troubled heart calmed down. I let Junw.a.n.gye"s hand hug my waist. I began to get sleepy. I close my eyes.

"Thank you for your love, Junw.a.n.gye," I spoke in a very soft voice before going to sleep.

Sunlight touched my eyes. Slowly I opened my eyes because of the glare of the Sun.

"I am a married woman now. What should I do? How do I deal with my husband today so he don"t feel unpleasant towards me?," the thought came to my mind immediately. I sat down immediately. There was a sense of panic that I felt for a moment. However, Xiao Junw.a.n.gye"s words ring in my head. Make me relax.

"He loves me, right? So I couldn"t feel panic like this. I must calm so I could know what I have to do in this w.a.n.gfu," I said to my self. Trying to calm down.

After I feel calm, I turned to my side. The place is empty. Xiao Junw.a.n.gye is awake and I don"t know where he is.

Suddenly the door opened. Ling entered my room.

"Junw.a.n.gfei, are you awake?" Ling asked me. I nodded my head and smiled at my faithful servant. She brought a large bowl of water so I could wash my face.

I still remember her request to me which is to continue to be my servant. After my wedding decree came, she immediately asked my mother to be allowed to come with me and be my servant at Xiao w.a.n.gfu. She knelt for hours on the doorstep of my mother"s room until my mother approve her desire.

"Where is Junw.a.n.gye?" I asked her while getting out of bed.

"I saw Junw.a.n.gye practicing martial arts in a garden near w.a.n.gfu"s main kitchen," Ling answered me. I wrinkled my forehead.

"Practicing martial art?" I asked her and she nodded her head.

"That"s right, Junw.a.n.gfei," Ling answered with the same answer. Her words clearly confused me. Rumors say Xiao Junw.a.n.gye is weak. Why does he practice martial arts?

I hold back my curiosity. I cleaned my face.

"I also prepared warm water. Will Junw.a.n.gfei want to clean up? "Ling offered and I nodded my head. My servant immediately came out of my room. She came with several other female servants. They immediately prepared a wooden tub for bathing. The tub water was also given a lot of flower petals.

I take off my clothes and clean myself.

After a short bath, Ling helped me get dressed. I chose the pink hanfu (china traditional cloths) and buyao)* which sent by Yao Mama for me. My mother told me that I must often use my husband"s gift. I don"t dare to disown my mother"s words like before.

[ )*Buyao: a hairpin that shake with every steps you take. ]

"Is Junw.a.n.gye still practicing kung fu?" I asked Ling.

"Yes, Junw.a.n.gfei. When I went to the main kitchen to ask for breakfast, I saw Junw.a.n.gye still practicing, " she answered me. I nod my head. I immediately left the room and asked Ling to show me the way to the garden.

As Ling said, Junw.a.n.gye is practicing martial arts. He played the sword beautifully. I was fascinated when I saw it. Finally he realized my presence. He stopped his training then walked over to me.

"Respect to Junw.a.n.gye," I lowered my body.

"Don"t be formal like this to me if we are in our home. You are my wife now, "Xiao Junw.a.n.gye said to me. I nodded my head slowly.

"You seem to be an expert in using swords, Junw.a.n.gye," I said to praise him. He smiled. His cheeks blushed slightly.

"I"m not as skilled as my brothers. I only know a little using a sword, "Xiao Junw.a.n.gye replied to my words. I smiled because his humble words.

"You must be hungry, let"s have breakfast!" Xiao Junw.a.n.gye said to me. I nod my head. My husband immediately pulled my wrist. He walked while holding my hand towards a gazebo in this garden. It seems like he wants to have breakfast in outdoor. When he holding my hand, my heart was pounding.

On the gazebo, Yao Mama was waiting. He stood waiting for us. I remember my mother"s words. He said that Yao Mama was her friend. I can"t a.s.sume her as an ordinary servant. Moreover, Xiao Junw.a.n.gye considers her like his own mother. I may not be arrogant to her.

"Yao Mama, let"s sit down. We have breakfast together, "I asked her after I sat down. She looked surprised to hear my invitation.

"Yao Mama is my mother"s friend. Yao Mama is also like a mother to my husband. So benggong)* considered Yao Mama as my mother too. Just like Xiao Junw.a.n.gye did, "I said after managed my feelings. Actually, I"m not really sincere saying that I consider Yao Mama as my mother. After all, she is a servant.

[ )*Bengong: this palace/ I, used by females of the imperial family. ]

"Yao Mama, my wife has said that. Sit down, please! Let"s have breakfeast together as usual," My husband said with a cheerful face. Makes me secretly relieved to do the right thing.

"Thanks to Junw.a.n.gye and Junw.a.n.gfei," Yao Mama said and she sat down. I can see Xiao Junw.a.n.gye"s caregiver"s face looks relieved. Of course she was also confused about how she should behave after I became Xiao Junw.a.n.gye"s wife.

Once again I praise myself. Getting married is like at war. When at war, I have to know the conditions of the battlefield. Likewise when I get married, I have to know the situation of my husband"s house. I have to follow his rules. All for the sake of harmony in my household.
