Chapter -22-
"Your Majesty. Your father wants to give orders to you to go down to Yongheng hill. There is a great teacher who has very high knowledge, and nothing can beat. Since His Majesty is the future successor of to be the next king in the Sky Kingdom, His Majesty has to train a lot to that great teacher. "
Li Zheng Xi notified Chen Liao Xuan of the king's decision.
Chen Liao Xuan was silent, and he did not answer Li Zheng Xi's words. He just held his breath, listening every time his father gave an unreasonable order.
Meanwhile, until this moment, his wife is still a holy princess. Chen Liao Xuan didn't touch it at all. The wedding night and the nights that followed seemed to be a night for his wife. When he had to, that was according to court law. When a Crown Prince gets married, the wedding night has to be done. But he couldn't, and his heart continued to refuse even though he said he could. Just doing the wedding night. However, every time he was in the room. Every time he saw his wife's face, and every time he wanted to get close to her. The image of a woman always appeared before his eyes. Painfully and faintly.

"Princess Cheng, after two full moons, you married the Crown Prince. What is your impression of Crown Prince Chen? Is there anything that makes you uneasy? Or that makes you think, and you feel uncomfortable telling me? If there is, tell me as his mother, you did not hesitate," The Queen is currently speaking to Cheng Wu Ye.
While the daughter-in-law prefers to remain silent. Does she deserve to say what happened? If she and the Crown Prince had never even done a wedding night until this moment. All efforts to attract her husband seemed in vain. She couldn't touch her husband at all. Never mind his heart, even Cheng Wu Ye's hair couldn't touch it. But, if she said this to the Queen, even more so to her father. Then everything will be riotous. Her father will not accept it, and there may be war because of it. She knows her father, very conservative and always wants to keep her feelings deep.
"Everything is fine, Your Majesty. I am so happy to be a merciful woman who can accompany the Crown Prince. I am the wife of the Crown Prince of the Sky Kingdom, which is a very proud thing. And I will never waste this opportunity. I want to serve as a perfect wife. Moreover, the Crown Prince treats me so well and very warmly."
"So during the wedding night, he did it carefully? He didn't hurt you, right, Princess Cheng?" hearing that question, Cheng Wu Ye's mouth turned squeaky.
What should she answer? Is it okay if she lies again to cover the truth?
"Everything is fine, Your Majesty. The Crown Prince guided me very well,"
Cheng Wu Ye and Queen turned their heads. As Chen Liao Xuan walked over. Chen Liao Xuan caught a glimpse of his wife. Then he sat there. He looked at his wife as if he was reluctant.
"Your Majesty, I would like to say that if the king of the Sky Kingdom wants to send me to go to Yongheng hill, study some martial arts and mysticism there,"
The news seemed to have shocked Cheng Wu Ye and the Queen. Chen Liao Xuan and Cheng Wu Ye were newlyweds. How can they be separated like this?
"Isn't your father wrong? You and Princess Cheng just got married. How could your father separate you so quickly? And look at your wife, Prince Liao Xuan, and she looks so gloomy. Have you never made her happy?"
"Your Majesty," Cheng Wu Ye said, she didn't expect that the Queen could even see that gloomy look on her face.
"Shut up, Princess Cheng. I must straighten this out to Prince Liao Xuan. He is a husband, and this marriage is legal. So, he has no right to hurt your feelings. Now, Prince Liao Xuan, I want to ask you. How was your wedding night?" with Princess Cheng, is everything going well? Did you lead her very well? "
"Ma--"
"You know, I got news from the palace maids who are in charge of waiting for you on the wedding night. Even you don't sleep and are not together. How can you do the wedding night? Or even until this second you haven't?" inquired the Queen. Chen Liao Xuan and Cheng Wu Ye could only lower their heads.
"Mother, I can explain all of this. Everything is not what you think. Princess Cheng and I have great respect for each other. And we are enjoying the time to introduce ourselves to each other. You also know that Princess Cheng and I are married. Because of an arranged marriage. So I want to get acquainted with Princess Cheng before I go any further. Moreover, the wedding night ritual is the most intimate relationship between husband and wife. I am afraid I will be nervous and make Princess Cheng uncomfortable because of me. "
Chen Liao Xuan tried to give as rational an answer as his mother could accept. So that his mother doesn't keep blaming him for this. Moreover, he also respected Cheng Wu Ye. He didn't want to humiliate and humiliate Cheng Wu Ye.
Now, Chen Liao Xuan held Cheng Wu Ye's hand. Then he smiled sweetly at his wife.
"My wife, forgive me if I can't do the wedding night to you. But you know, I need time to get to know you a little deeper. So that when we do the wedding night ritual, I won't feel awkward, and we can enjoy it together."
Hearing that, Cheng Wu Ye looked moved. She nodded obediently. How could she be angry with Chen Liao Xuan, the perfect figure she always wished for. If her husband wanted to ask for time to get to know her more deeply, Cheng Wu Ye would grant it as long as it was.
"As long as you wish, Your Majesty, I will wait until you are ready. And can get to know me better as your wife. Thank you for understanding me, and thank you for not wanting to belittle me as a woman. I am very honored by your treatment of me."
