The banquet to greet us was lively. The banquet was finished at night. My family drove our relatives to the front door. They all look satisfied."Xia He-er, I saw Xiao Junw.a.n.gye like you very much," My aunt said to me at the gate. She holds my hand. Whereas Hui An is talking to my uncle.
"Yes, Auntie. He said that he liked me for a long time, "I replied timidly. She smiled.
"Xia He, you can"t waste your husband"s love for you. I know that he is not your choice. However, I believe that heaven has a plan when decided Xiao Junw.a.n.gye became your husband, "My aunt gave her advice. I nod my head.
"Don"t repeat your mistakes in the past. Don"t be childish anymore. I also learned from my mistakes in loving you, "My aunt said in a heavy voice. Her expression on showed her regret.
"I won"t repeat it, Auntie," I said earnestly. She smiled at me. I gave her a ride on his horse carriage. Before she closed the door of the horse carriage, she hugged me.
"We take a part in here, Xia He. I hope that we can meet again. One more advice from Auntie, you must learn to love him, "my aunt gave her final advice. I nod my head. The horse-drawn carriage departed.
I turned and saw Hui An standing beside my father. He looked at me with a smiling face. I approached him.
"Today you have to stay at this house. Tomorrow, you can just go back to w.a.n.gfu," my father asked us.
"Yes, Father," I answered quickly.

I and Hui An entered my room. The condition of my room is not much different from the condition before I leave. The fifferent is my bed which decorated with red ornaments. The decoration is similar to the bed on our wedding night.
"Ling, please tell some servants to prepare bath water for Xiao Junw.a.n.gye," I gave instructions to Ling.
"Yes, Junw.a.n.gfei," Ling immediately answered and then came out of my room.
"If Xia He feels uncomfortable, you can go out when I take a bath," Hui An said casually to me. I sighed. Suddenly I became nervous.
"Hui An, you are my husband. If I go out when you take a bath, my parents will find out and they will misunderstand, "I explained as calmly as possible. However, my cheeks feel hot. He smiled.
"I know that you feel uncomfortable. Your cheeks are red," he touched my cheek. I looked into his eyes. Why does his eyes always show that he is admiring me. His eyes made me even more nervous.
"However, you are my husband. I can"t continue to feel uncomfortable," I confirmed my answer. He touched my lips with his hand. I felt my body tremble.
He slowly approached my face. His lips almost touched my lips. However, Ling"s voice was heard from the front door.
"Junw.a.n.gfei, we bring bath water," Ling"s voice sounded loud.

Xiao Junw.a.n.gye retreated. Somehow I feel disappointed because of the failed kiss. I saw my husband quietly laughing.
"Please come and prepare!", I gave the order. Ling and several servants entered. They immediately prepare warm bath water. They rushed out.
"Are you really going to stay here?" He asked me. I nod my head.
"I can rub your back!"
"Why?"
"Isn"t that what a wife usually does to her husband?" I asked. He laughed. I feel he likes to play with me.
"Why don"t we just take a bath together?" He suggested.
"What?" I felt my ears get hot after hearing his words.
"Or will we take a bath later?" He asked again. I don"t understand what he meant.
Hui An approached me slowly. He kissed me. I could feel a burst of pa.s.sion from me. I returned the kiss more intimate. Slowly he took off my clothes. I was shocked and tried to stop it by pushing him. However, I did not succeed to pushed him.
Finally we are in my bed. Our situation is similiar. I really lost my power to resist his l.u.s.t. For some reason, when I looked at his adoring eyes, I couldn"t refuse his action.
"I heard that this will hurt you for a moment," he said in a low voice. I did not answer him. Hui An considers my silence to be my agreement. Then the next thing happened, the same as what he said.
***
The sound of chickens crowing in outside of my room woke me up. I opened my eyes and saw Hui An sleeping next to me. He still sleeps well. I peered into the blanket and sighed. There are blood spots on my bed.
I never had a plan to spend my first night at my parents" house. Moreover, this kind of thing in someone else"s house will be considered impolite. However, I can"t refuse him last night.
Now, my whole body feels tired and some part was sore.
I can"t imagine my mother"s expression if she knew that last night was my first night. Hui An and I have deceived Huanghou and Huangtaihou with a white cloth that was given blood droplets
Luckily we did it at my parents" house so they would definitely keep it a secret.
To be honest, I"m not sure if I do this because I love Hui An. I might be affected by the advice of my aunt. She advised me to learn to love my husband. However, I did more than that.
"Sorry," Hui An"s voice interrupted my thoughts. I looked at his face. He is awake.
"I can"t control myself. Yesterday I drank too much wine, "he explained. I became reminded of her kiss. There is indeed an aromatic aroma of wine.
"It is okay. After all I am your wife, "I answered in a soft voice.
"It would be better if we did it when you fell in love with me," he said softly. He looks regret.
"At least you know that I"ve never done this with anyone before this," I tried to calm down myself because I was thinking the same thing. I hope that we do it after I truly love him.
"I never doubted Xia He," he said seriously.
"I did cheat Huanghou and Huangtaihou with a white cloth that was given blood droplets at the Palace. However, I did it to protect your reputation. I don"t doubt you, "he said earnestly.
"I promise to be more in control of myself in future until Xia He really loves me," he said again. I don"t know what to answer.

"Hui An, can you play a musical instrument?" I asked my husband. Trying to break the ice between us. We haven"t had a dialogue with each other since this morning. Now, both of us are on a horse-drawn carriage, heading to our w.a.n.gfu.
After we both woke up, we stayed at Yun Manor until late afternoon. Until my body feels more powerful. My mother finally found out that I spent my first night at Yun Manor. She advised me many things and asked me to understand men and their needs.
I understand the point, but it"s hard for me to agree. However intimate relationships should be accompanied by love. However, after thinking about this principle, I became embarra.s.sed.
Didn"t I intend to become Concubine of Guo w.a.n.gye? Even willing to be a concubine without love? I want to hit my head if I remember my stupidity in the past.
I could not be completely angry with Hui An who forced me to do it. However, I can"t cover my disappointment with him and myself who can"t control our behaviour.
"I can play Guqin. However, I"m not very good at playing it. I only play it to fill my spare time," Hui An answered my question slowly. I nod my head.
He said that he wasn"t an expert at playing musical instruments. That means, I can"t have high expectations. I can"t force him to become an expert in just a few months.
"Why is Xia He asking about that?" Hui An"s words broke my mind. I smile briefly.
"I"m thinking of a Spring banquet at the Palace in next year. I want to show something that can impress Bixia, "I answered, looking at his face. He smiled.
"I do not want to let you down. Actually Bixia is difficult to be satisfied with the show. If we want to make him happy, then we have to make a better performance than the Istana artists, "he expressed his opinion.
I know that what he says is true. Both of us are not artists, so it is definitely difficult to make shows that are more interesting than The Palace artists. The Palace Artists devote their time and energy to perfecting their performances. However, we only play musical instruments to fill our spare time.
"However, I want to try to do it," I gathered my determination. Hui An held my head for a moment.
"You are right. We have to try it, "he said earnestly. I"m happy to see his optimistic expression like mine.
"However, I want to know. Why does Xia He want to impress Bixia? "He asked again.
"The prize," I spoke honestly. Because I was determined not to keep anything from him.
"Prize?"
"Yes. I heard, Bixia always gave extraordinary prize to those who could impress him, "I explained.
"Then, we must strive firmly. The Palace artists definitely gave their best performances. We can only compete with them by giving unordinary shows, "my husband suggested.
"Unordinary?"
"Something that has never been shown by anyone in front of Bixia," my husband gave an explanation. I nodded my head as I understood his words.
"Xia He, are you still angry about last night?" Hui An brought up the same problem again. I tried to forget about that by asking him to talk about the palace banquet. However, he reminded me again.
"A little," I answered honestly. He sighed
"I"m sorry," he said softly.
My tears fall down after hear his second time apologized. Inside my heart, I feel sad. I feel ashame of my self. What we do in last night is too early.
Is that I so easy to fall in someone l.u.s.t? It is fine if we just share a kiss. I know he is my husband, but I feel somethink was lost. I feel like I betray my self.
He looks shocked saw my tears. He take me in his charms.
"I"m sorry. I promised to never forced you like last night,"
