Cai Wei didn't think so. In her eyes, servants and freemen were alike, sentient beings with emotions and thoughts. She couldn't bear the thought of being intimate with a man while being waited upon by palace maids and eunuchs nearby. Tonight was their wedding night, and he would no doubt have to take it easy on her. Therefore, she had to warn him in advance.
"Let them all withdraw. Don't let them come in to serve, or else you're not allowed to touch me!"
Her voice was low, audible only to him, cheeks flushed and eyes watery but filled with an unyielding warning.
Nangong Yi teased, "So, if they leave, can I touch you then?"
After speaking, he waved his hand and commanded Yang Yong, "Everyone withdraw for now, you can come back in to serve when called."
"Yes!"
Yang Yong led the palace maids and the eunuchs out, heads bowed, quickly leaving only Nangong Yi and Cai Wei in the bridal chamber.
"Madam, can your husband touch you now?"
