Xiao Ji frowned.
Tang Wanqing walked slowly on the long corridor and unknowingly came to the east wing. After walking for a while, she found Xiao Ji's study.
She was hesitating whether to take a look, but before she could take a step, two figures, one tall and one short, walked side by side under the moonlight.
Tang Wanqing recognized Xiao Ji at a glance. When she was about to greet him, she saw Xiao Ji holding the woman's hand, and that woman was Fu Yuanxiao.
Tang Wanqing was stunned on the spot when she saw this scene. She didn't react until the two of them were far away.
She was right, it was Xiao Ji who was holding Fu Yuanxiao's hand just now.
It's Xiao Ji...
Tang Wanqing clenched her handkerchief and followed the slender figure with her eyes, not looking back until she disappeared into the night.
If Xiao Ji holds Fu Yuanxiao's hand, it's definitely not because he likes her.
Xiao Ji won't like her.
Tang Wanqing comforted herself, but she always felt uneasy in her heart.
Seeing this, Huan Yu couldn't help but remind her: "It has been some time since the girl married into the prince's palace, but she has not yet consummated her marriage with the prince."
Tang Wanqing lowered her eyes after hearing this. Xiao Ji was not in good health and had never taken the initiative to consummate the marriage.
She couldn't just bring it up on her own initiative?
A lady who has been raised in a boudoir since childhood can speak well, but she cannot say such shameful words.
Just when Tang Wanqing felt uneasy, Huan Yu said again: "Girl, although the princess is stupid, she is also famous for her beauty. The prince is a man, and there will always be times when he can't control himself. Besides, this slave also likes the princess very much." It’s your prince’s fault, so the girl should consummate her marriage with him as early as possible.”
After hearing Huan Yu's words, Tang Wanqing felt even more uneasy.
"Your Majesty is not in good health, how can I ask for this at this time?"
"Girl, don't you think it's fine for the prince to walk with the princess in his hand? The doctor only said that the prince was poisoned, and it doesn't affect anything else." Huan Yu was worried for her master, so she asked Tang Wanqing to go find the prince now.
Tang Wanqing was still a little hesitant, "Let's take it easy for now."
Huanyu sighed helplessly, slowly wondering how long she would have to wait.
"Go back first." Tang Wanqing glanced at the direction where Xiao Ji disappeared. She knew that it was the road leading to Chu Yuwan, and she guessed that Xiao Ji was going to Chu Yuwan without asking.
Xiao Ji was definitely just sending the princess back, not staying overnight.
Chu Yuwan, the house is brightly lit.
The two figures at the door were stretched out by the candlelight in the room.
Xiao Ji lowered his head and looked at the figure inside the door. He hadn't spoken since the way back. He didn't want to continue talking about what happened just now.
"You rest first, I will come back tomorrow."
After Xiao Ji finished speaking, he glanced at her, then turned and left.
Before he had taken two steps, his sleeve was grabbed, and as if he had a premonition, he stopped just in time.
"Why are you always like this?" Fu Yuanxiao raised his head and looked at Xiao Ji, his clear eyes filled with persistence that he had never seen before.
What Xiao Ji saw when he turned around was this look in his eyes, and she could tell that if he didn't say something, she would probably keep asking.
He suddenly thought of Fu Yuanxiao letting him go that night.
"Xiao'er, it's getting late, you'd better rest early."
Fu Yuanxiao tugged on his sleeve tightly, wondering why Xiao Ji didn't want to tell her when he said he liked her.
Even a child could hear the perfunctoriness in his words, and he thought she didn't know.
After a long stalemate, Fu Yuanxiao suddenly let go of his sleeves and said, "The most important thing between a husband and wife is honesty. If you are not willing to tell me anything, then I won't tell you anything in the future."
Xiao Ji was stunned when he heard this. Fu Yuanxiao now really made him more and more amazed.
We also know that the most important thing between husband and wife is honesty.
The last childish words made him feel helpless.
"If you don't tell me, who are you going to tell?"
Fu Yuanxiao thought about it and realized that only Fu Yinshuang could say that it could still be discussed.
She raised her chin, "I won't tell you."
Xiao Ji knew that she was angry and said angry words, but it would be bad if she didn't tell him something and told others instead.
"I am your husband. If you have anything to do, you can only tell me."
"I'm still your wife. You hide everything from me."
"Can that be the same?"
"oppressive rule."
Fu Yuanxiao retorted unconvinced.
Xiao Ji looked at her stubborn look, took her hand again and walked into the house. After entering, he closed the door.
Fu Yuanxiao looked at him closing the door and asked, "Do you want to stay overnight?"
"With you like this, how can I leave with peace of mind?" Xiao Ji took her hand and walked towards the big Huanghuali bed.
Fu Yuanxiao followed him to the bedside for no apparent reason and watched him sit down on the bed, spreading his legs and letting the hem of his clothes fall to both sides.
She raised her head and looked at Xiao Ji in confusion. She didn't wait for an answer. What she waited for was Xiao Ji holding him in his arms. The face-to-face position forced her to sit on his lap. His hands instinctively put their hands on her shoulders. Keep your center of gravity.
After she stabilized her center of gravity, she looked down at Xiao Ji, who was very close at hand, and struggled to think, "What do you want to do?"
Xiao Ji put his arm around her waist, which was less than the size of a hand's grasp, and tried hard with his palms. No matter how hard Fu Yuanxiao struggled, she just couldn't get off him.
Xiao Ji looked up at the person sitting on her. When she struggled, she would inevitably bump into him.
The strength of his palms became a little stronger, and he lowered his voice and said, "Don't move."
"Put me down first." Fu Yuanxiao was furious and refused to move, but she insisted on coming down.
Seeing that she was still twisting, Xiao Ji's eyes darkened, so he grabbed her hand and let her feel it for herself.
Fu Yuanxiao paused and glanced down at his hands. When he raised his head to look at Xiao Ji, his eyes were full of doubts, "What is this?"
Xiao Ji let out a short muffled sound in his throat. Looking at the innocent-looking Fu Yuanxiao, he pursed his lips tightly and turned over to press her on the bed.
The sudden move gave Fu Yuanxiao no time to react. He only felt the world spinning for a while before being pinned down on the bed by Xiao Ji.
The bedding under me was very soft, and there was no discomfort the moment I fell down.
Xiao Ji grabbed her hand and looked down at the person below him, his breath a little disordered, "Do you want to know what that is?"
Fu Yuanxiao blinked his beautiful peach blossom eyes twice and glanced down subconsciously. I heard Mr. Shu said that people who know martial arts will have hidden weapons on their bodies, such as darts, daggers, etc.
From the touch, it should be a dagger.
Xiao Ji noticed the look in her eyes. It felt like he was being looked at by her without any obstruction, and his mouth suddenly went dry.
When Fu Yuanxiao looked back at Xiao Ji, his eyes were a little proud, "I know what it is even if you don't tell me."
Xiao Ji was a little surprised when she heard this. She didn't understand anything, how could she know this?
If he knew, he wouldn't have the same expression just now.
A slight smile appeared on his lips, "Then tell me, what is it?"
Fu Yuanxiao answered almost without thinking: "It's a dagger for self-defense."
Xiao Ji couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. His restrained laughter was low and sounded a bit mocking to Fu Yuanxiao's ears.
"Why are you laughing? Isn't it a dagger? Is it another hidden weapon for self-defense?"
Xiao Ji suppressed laughter. He knew that she didn't understand anything, but she actually said it was a hidden weapon?
He leaned over and whispered into her ear, "Xiao'er, do you want to know?"
Fu Yuanxiao didn't notice the ambiguous breath in her ears. She blinked her beautiful peach blossom eyes twice and asked, "What is that?"
Listening to her soft voice, Xiao Ji's pure eyes could not help but want to possess her. However, thinking of the scene she saw tonight, if he consummated the marriage with her when she didn't understand anything, he would probably... scare her.
Xiao Ji endured it, and if she continued this topic, she might really be unable to bear it any longer.
"I'll tell you later."
When Fu Yuanxiao heard this, she felt dissatisfied. Coupled with what happened just now, even though she had no temper, she couldn't help but lose her temper.
"We'll talk about everything later. Just treat me like a three-year-old child and get out."
Fu Yuanxiao pushed Xiao Ji on his body as he spoke, but in Xiao Ji's eyes, that little strength was like a kitten scratching a wall, which had no effect.
Xiaoji couldn't help but laugh again when he saw her angry look.
When Fu Yuanxiao heard laughter, he stopped moving his hands, raised his head and looked at him, his soft voice was full of dissatisfaction, "Why are you laughing again?"
Xiao Ji freed up a hand to touch her fair and delicate face. The warm touch made him unable to put it down.
"It's okay to tell you. Just don't regret it."
"How could I regret it? If you don't want to say it, don't make excuses." Fu Yuanxiao said with an expression that said, "I've seen through you a long time ago."
Xiao Ji felt helpless and stopped talking. He grabbed her hand and stretched it out again.
Unlike just now, this time he was filled with anticipation, nervousness, and wanting to see Fu Yuanxiao's reaction.
How could Fu Yuanxiao know what Xiao Ji was thinking?
She was just curious about what kind of hidden weapon was hidden under Xiao Ji's clothes.
But Fu Yuanxiao soon realized something was wrong. He looked at Xiao Ji's hand on his waist and looked at him in confusion, "What are you doing taking off your belt?"
Xiao Ji didn't answer, his long and narrow phoenix eyes stared at her, and the movements of his hands did not stop.
The belt was unfastened easily.
At this point, Fu Yuanxiao guessed what Xiao Ji wanted to do, and even though he didn't want to tell her, he still wanted to take off his clothes and stay here for the night.
"Would you like to stay the night?"
Xiao Ji just chuckled when he heard this. If someone else had said this, it would have been a hint that he had consummated the marriage.
He grabbed her hand and continued to cross the thunder pool, looking at her unblinkingly with his eyes like a deep pool, "Do you want me to stay overnight?"
Fu Yuanxiao snorted, "No, if you don't tell me anything, I don't want you to stay overnight."
Xiao Ji knew she would say this like a child. If it were any other woman, she would have been happy.
"Xiao'er, don't you like me?"
Fu Yuanxiao was stunned when she heard this. This was what she had just asked Xiao Ji.
She didn't expect Xiao Ji to ask her this.
If she didn't like it, why would she care so much about him?
If she doesn't like it, she doesn't want to know anything.
"Of course I do."
When Xiao Ji heard these four words, the gloom of the night was swept away, and his mood became happy.
Xiao'er didn't hate him because of the scene she saw tonight, and she let go of her worries.
He raised the corners of his lips, "If you like me, don't you want me to stay with you?"
Fu Yuanxiao muttered in a low voice: "I think so, but you don't treat me as your wife, you always don't tell me anything, and..."
Before he finished speaking, Fu Yuanxiao felt his hand touch something...
Good night, babies!
