Chapter 29 You're Seducing Me
Night falls at Millennium Courtyard.
"The wet nurse's plan to kill two birds with one stone is simply brilliant. Although she failed to drown that bitch Xu Jiaojiao this time, it is still a happy thing that Bai Yiru was demoted to a concubine."
Zheng Antong laughed heartily and even ate more for dinner.
"I've disliked Bai Yiru for a long time. She's just the second daughter of the Minister of Rites, yet she's always so arrogant. What is she? Does she even deserve to sit on equal footing with me?"
The wet nurse served a cup of tea at the opportune moment: "Your Highness, there's plenty of time ahead..."
The courtyard of Qingxue was brightly lit.
Bai Yiru sat upright at her desk copying scriptures.
The maid Suhe beside her ground the ink: "Master, it's getting late. Why don't I help you rest early and copy again tomorrow?"
Bai Yi paused, as if the tip of a pen had stopped.
If you can't calm your mind and can't sleep, you might as well copy some scriptures to clarify your current situation and make plans for the future.
She shook her head: "You may leave now. You may come in again when I need you."
Suhe sighed inwardly and withdrew.
My master is stubborn; I just hope he doesn't get stuck on things.
Yuhua Courtyard.
After finishing his dinner, Prince Chen sat with Xu Jiaojiao for a while. Just as he was about to get up and leave, he saw Xu Jiaojiao looking at him with wet eyes, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
His heart skipped a beat, and he froze, unable to move for a moment: "Does Jiaojiao have something to say to me?"
Xu Jiaojiao bit her lip, looking troubled.
Zhao Yunzheng couldn't help but reach out and touch her soft, dark hair: "Were you frightened during the day?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiaojiao's nose stung with tears, and she threw herself into Zhao Yunzheng's arms, choking back sobs, "Your Highness, with you here, I'm not afraid..."
The delicate beauty in his arms was crying her heart out. Her body was trembling slightly with fear, but she pretended to be strong and said she wasn't afraid. Zhao Yunzheng's heart softened completely.
He held Xu Jiaojiao tenderly and said, "Tomorrow, I will have Yingyi send two capable guards to Yuhua Courtyard. When I am not here, they will protect your safety."
Xu Jiaojiao nestled tenderly in Zhao Yunzheng's arms, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness..."
After snuggling together for a while, the night watchman's drum sounded, and Xu Jiaojiao reluctantly got up to see the prince off.
"Jingle Bell……"
Just then, a gust of wind swept by outside, and the wind chimes rang, causing Xu Jiaojiao to shiver involuntarily.
She instinctively wanted to throw herself into Prince Chen's arms for protection, but after taking just one step forward, she forced herself to stop.
Xu Jiaojiao glanced timidly at the wind chimes outside the house, then turned to look at Prince Chen with eyes full of reluctance: "Your Highness, the wind is picking up. Now is the perfect time to go back to Mingqian Courtyard. It might rain if we go too late. Summer rain is heavy and torrential, and it's easy to catch a cold if you get wet. I'll have Lianye fetch an umbrella."
A look of helplessness appeared in Zhao Yunzheng's eyes.
This foolish woman, she clearly wants to stay, but she insists on following the rules and saying things against her will.
He couldn't help but reach out and pull Xu Jiaojiao back into his arms, angrily asking her, "Do you really want me to leave?"
Xu Jiaojiao was slightly taken aback, and the words in her heart blurted out: "Of course I don't want to."
But as soon as she finished speaking, she realized she had overstepped her bounds and immediately stammered as she tried to explain, "Your Highness... what I meant was..."
She stammered for a long time but couldn't come up with an explanation, and her face turned bright red.
Seeing the playful smile in Prince Chen's eyes, Xu Jiaojiao blushed even more.
She lowered her head in embarrassment: "Naturally, every woman in this manor hopes that the Prince can stay by her side day and night..."
Zhao Yunzheng couldn't help but laugh: "And what about you? Do you think so too?"
Xu Jiaojiao stared intently into Prince Chen's eyes, her gaze brimming with longing, and nodded shyly: "Of course I want to as well..."
Her shy and charming appearance made Zhao Yunzheng's heart itch unbearably. He said softly, "Then I will not leave tonight and will stay with you."
Xu Jiaojiao was slightly taken aback, her beautiful fox-like eyes filled with surprise and joy.
She vaguely thought she had misheard.
Coming to her senses, she happily took two steps forward and hugged Prince Chen's narrow waist: "Your Highness is a man of your word, once you've said it, you can't go back on it!"
Seeing the wind outside getting stronger, Zhao Yunzheng's eyes softened: "Yes, I won't go back on my word."
……
Night has fallen, and people are asleep.
Xu Jiaojiao nestled in Zhao Yunzheng's arms, inhaling his pleasant, refreshing scent, her little hands restlessly reaching towards Zhao Yunzheng's narrow waist.
The man stayed, but he only held her in his arms; nothing more.
How could Xu Jiaojiao be willing to accept this?
However, since Zhao Yunzheng had stayed, and she held the soft, fragrant woman in her arms, she refused to believe that a vigorous young man like Zhao Yunzheng could really resist.
"Jiaojiao, don't move around."
A man's hoarse, suppressed voice rang out from above.
"Your Highness, I can't sleep..." Her sweet voice was now filled with endless allure.
Xu Jiaojiao's delicate body was now softly pressed against the man's chest.
The panic caused by falling into the water during the day made her uneasy, and only by sticking close to Zhao Yunzheng could she find a little peace of mind.
Zhao Yunzheng held the woman in his arms by the waist, his eyes darkening. His whole body was tense as he desperately tried to suppress the raging desires within him.
Although he held a high position, he was not a promiscuous person.
In his view, if he could not promise the other person a lifetime of happiness, he would not easily take their body.
He feared that those beautiful young women would regret it later.
Just like the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, they went from being deeply in love in their youth to now hating each other.
Every time he saw his mother weeping alone in her bedchamber, he felt an even greater loathing for his father's heartlessness.
Xu Jiaojiao's appearance stirred his heart, but being in the mud, could he really give Xu Jiaojiao a future?
Zhao Yunzheng asked himself honestly, he didn't know...
But the woman in his arms was so tender and affectionate, giving him everything.
Zhao Yunzheng's eyes darkened, and he gripped Xu Jiaojiao's alluring little hand tightly, saying in a deep voice, "Be good, don't move."
But once she was in bed, Xu Jiaojiao was far from being so obedient. She coaxed softly, "Your Highness, the nights are long, why don't you ever stay overnight at my place?"
Zhao Yunzheng tightened his grip on the woman's slender waist, his low, husky voice carrying a hint of threat: "Are you seducing me?"
Xu Jiaojiao raised her eyes, the corners of them reddening, her allure captivating: "I simply couldn't control my emotions..."
Zhao Yunzheng's eyes grew increasingly dark, and he could no longer hold back.
The flower-lined path has never been swept for guests, but the humble gate is now opened for you.
Unable to sleep, tossing and turning, two bodies merge into one, secretly grinding away.
……
……
Outside, Lianye listened, her face flushed red.
The master and the prince are too crazy.
I called for water five times in one night!
Now, the mistress has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel and has truly become the prince's woman...
She believed that with her master's intelligence, he would surely rise to a high position!
inside the house.
Zhao Yunzheng looked at the woman in his arms, who had fallen into a deep sleep from exhaustion, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
She pressed herself tightly against his chest, and he could clearly feel how soft her porcelain-smooth body was.
His gaze slowly moved downwards, landing on the ambiguous red marks on Xu Jiaojiao's body. His throat tightened, and his breathing unconsciously deepened...
