Chapter 190.1: Allowing You to Sit as an Equal
Because the inside of the room thoroughly fell silent, Gong mama entered the room. The bed curtains weren’t put down, so at a glance, she just saw the two naked bodies mutually holding one another in sleep. She just felt that right now, she was already numb to it all. Because she was unable to stop, she could only think in the optimistic direction as much as possible. But just this current state, she seemingly was completely unable to find anything favorable towards her own miss. Suffering a loss, getting her tofu eaten, and if not handled well, might even damage her reputation, all the benefits were occupied by a certain shameless bastard.
Alright, Gong mama also knew his sleep actually wasn’t very good either, but holding miss, he seemingly was able to sleep pretty well. In the end, he was still the child she watched grow up, and in the end, still Imperial Noble Consort’s only son, so to say Gong mama didn’t heartache for him in the slightest was impossible. That’s why, she could only think this way to console herself.
Gong mama went forward, picking up the clothes that were thrown onto the floor and placing them to the side. Then, she picked up the silk blanket where more than half had fallen off the bed. Just as she was about to cover the two of them, she suddenly met with Li Hong Yuan’s deep black eyes, pausing for a moment before continuing with the task at hand, having the silk blanket placed on the two of them. It wasn’t that tightly covered either, just from the chest to the thigh. In such hot weather, where there were ice basins placed in the room, it was just to prevent cold air from entering the stomach.
Li Hong Yuan took the opportunity to pull the silk blanket near Jing Wan’s shoulder, tilting his head, his cheeks pressing against the top of the forehead, closing his eyes. Aside from himself, probably no one would be able to confirm whether or not he was asleep just now.
The sleeping Li Hong Yuan appeared much more harmless. In Gong mama’s eyes, the two of them were just a young married couple that slept closely together, but from their sleeping posture, one could tell they were very loving. At least, he very much loved her. Ordinary married couples, even if sleeping in the same bed, that was all with separate blankets, each occupying one half of the bed, and between them, it was just like being separated by a long river[1]. And further don’t need to mention those married couples that after performing the ‘rites of Duke Zhou’, even slept in separate beds in separate rooms. Was that still called being husband and wife?
———-It would be great if this can last a lifetime. Gong mama turned and left holding the lantern.
Since Li Hong Yuan dared to brazenly stay the night, he naturally won’t be like before, leaving early. As such, Jing Wan, because of her biological clock, more or less woke up at the same time as usual. The honey colored chest before her eyes, the warm and full of elasticity sensation, her brain that had yet to fully wake up was a bit stupefied. Afterwards, she abruptly sat up. Her first time sleeping while being held by a man, she actually was the same as usual, having a good night rest. This was completely unscientific! Clearly she was one that has always slept alone, and that one time she slept together with older cousin Qiao Qiao, she was all unable to sleep well and even moved places. Yet, sleeping while getting held by man, she was used to, used to, used to………………
With such a big movement, there was no reason for Li Hong Yuan to not wake up. Half opening his eyes, and borrowing the weak light, he saw Jing Wan with a dumbfound expression, feeling conflicted, an unbearably gloomy little appearance. The silk blanket slid down to her waist, the view of her chest magnificent, yet she herself was still unaware. His expression grew serene and deep, morning temper and whatnot long flew out beyond the clouds. Regardless whether it was because of the morning, or some other reason, a certain place began stirring again. His hand reached out and pressed against a certain soft place that attracted his line of sight, neither softly nor heavily squeezing.
Jing Wan finally was startled back to her senses, grabbing his misbehaving hand and throwing it aside.
Li Hong Yuan reached out and seized her waist, lifting his long leg and having Jing Wan pressed back down. A short and panicky scream of surprise sounded, and the words afterwards, before they were able to come out in time, just got thoroughly sealed. Jing Wan angrily patted his shoulder, the crisp slapping sound echoing, but didn’t help in the slightest. A certain person completely didn’t mind, not even stopping her at all, wholeheartedly enjoying the morning dessert. Jing Wan patted a few more times, but her strength also gradually weakened, purely because this body was too inexperienced, and moreover, in this aspect, Li Hong Yuan was her introduction teacher. Her immunity limitlessly approached zero, completely unable to resist getting stirred up. Her slapping motion immediately just turned to embracing his shoulder, catering to his kiss.
Just as the sparks were about to start a fire………….
Dong, dong, dong, three sounds of neither light nor heavy knocking sounded, “Has miss awoken?” Seeing the servant girls standing at the doorway carrying water, their faces blushing, not daring to enter, Gong mama just knew what the situation was like inside. One has to know, right now, it was already morning. To act willfully like this, and even at the Luo family’s place, in miss’s boudoir, truly was scandalous. Even married couples, after marrying, can’t mess around in the wife’s boudoir, let alone right now, where they were still just fiancees. At night, she already endured, but now, if discovered by others, and pass on to old master and old madam’s ears, how can that be good? The servant girls had misgivings, but she didn’t, directly knocking.
Suddenly being roused, Jing Wan reached out to push him, yet wasn’t able to move him in the slightest, “Wangye…………” Her complexion was a bit unsightly, because of a certain person that was in heat early in the morning, and also because of herself for not being able to resist.
Li Hong Yuan’s face had a bit of annoyance, but it very quickly vanished too, having his face buried in Jing Wan’s neck, unwilling to let go.
Jing Wan angrily scratched hit, and on his shoulder, obvious blood marks appeared. However, a certain person was just like as if unable to feel pain, not even uttering a single groan. This kind of person, to want to restrain oneself from ‘offending one’s superior’ was all very difficult. And thus, Jing Wan’s evil desires were born from her guts, opening her mouth and ruthlessly biting down. To say it was ruthlessly biting down, that really was not holding back at all, to the extent where she even tasted blood.
Li Hong Yuan finally moved, reaching out to rub her head, “Good darling, let go, if you keep biting, I won’t be able to hold back.”
Jing Wan’s face darkened like the bottom of a pot. Was this guy a masochist?! Having gotten bitten like this, yet still getting more excited?!
“Miss………….” The urging voice once again sounded.
“Wangye, move aside.” Jing Wan’s voice this time was somewhat cold, not having the intention to negotiate in the slightest.
Li Hong Yuan lifted his head, “Tsk, this temper is getting increasingly big.”
Jing Wan sneered, “Whose fault is it?”
“My fault.” Li Hong Yuan very bluntly admitted. On one side endlessly indulging her, while on the other, ruthlessly angering her, even for mud people, this temper would have rose. However, a certain someone even had quite a sense of accomplishment.
“Still not moving aside?”
Li Hong Yuan this time was actually quite obedient, flipping over while holding her, having her placed on the outer side.
Jing Wan hurriedly got up, pulling up the silk blanket and wrapping it around herself. Just as she was about to open her mouth and call for them to enter, she suddenly paused again, turning her head. That figure that can be considered the golden proportion, with lumps of muscles that can be considered perfect and not too much, the lines flowing and beautiful, and also that off the charts attractive face, lying sideways, propping his head with one hand, it really was extraordinarily seductive. Jing Wan pulled down the silk blanket on her, and in an instant, had him tightly covered from head to toe, “Who are you showing off to? My servant girls still need to marry.”
His hand that was just about to lift open the silk blanket paused. How come these words sound a bit sour? He soundlessly laughed, lightening his movements, just having his head exposed out, “Fine, just show off to you alone.”
He was tightly covered, but she was completely exposed, making it convenient for a certain someone to have her eyed from head to toe, though the light was truly weak, unable to see that clearly.
In Jing Wan’s eyes, this kind of feeling was practically a hundred times more embarrassing than sticking together skin to skin. She subconsciously wrapped her arms around her chest.
Li Hong Yuan let out a muffled laugh, “Where on you have I not seen before?”
Jing Wan unbearably regretted, but might as well just ‘smash the already broken jar’, “I’m up, mama can enter.” In any case, the people by her side have long had her seen from head to toe countless times. Then again, she has been served by servants since childhood. As such, in front of the people by her side, to still feel embarrassed would be strange. However, in the end, she still did something even more shameful, so even if she forcibly pretended to be calm, Jing Wan still was unable to calmly compose herself. Seeing Gong mama enter with the lantern, her eyes were somewhat adrift, not daring to look at her.
As Gong mama was lighting the lamps in the room, Jing Wan, like as if suddenly coming to realization, hurriedly grabbed a clothing at random, and after wrapping it around herself, she realized in hindsight, it was a certain wangye’s clothes. Her own clothes, after changing out of them last night, were immediately taken to wash. Right now, the only thing she could see was just her dudou and inner trousers that were removed by a certain someone.
Gong mama was just like as if she didn’t know anything, casting a glance at Li Hong Yuan on the bed, “Have the water carried in.” If not for this person, would they have needed to come in separately?
The servant girls entered in a line, and after confirming Li Hong Yuan’s position and slightly curtsying, considering as greeting him, they no longer glanced in that direction. However, in the end, he was still a grown man, his presence too strong. But, regardless of how they thought, this was all their master’s matter, and it wasn’t their place to comment. They just needed to control their own eyes from carelessly looking around, and keep their mouths from making reckless remarks.
Jing Wan went to the back cleaning room to quickly change her clothes, the awkwardness finally reducing a little. After coming out, she quickly tidied herself up, before finally turning towards the ‘obediently’ covered by the silk blanket Li Hong Yuan, “Does wangye need for this subject to serve you in getting up?” It’s best if you don’t.
How could Li Hong Yuan not be able to tell that Jing Wan was just saying it without meaning it, “Will just trouble Jing Wan then.”
After drawing more clean water in again, the others all withdrew from the room.
Jing Wan grabbed the clothes, preparing to put on for him, but a certain someone wasn’t cooperating, expressing that he needed to wash up first.
Jing Wan wanted to have the clothes directly smashed on a certain person’s face, but seeing his shoulder clearly already purple and somewhat swollen, and also that smeared bloodstain, seemingly she really was a bit too ruthless with her mouth, in the end, she endured the urge. But, so what if his figure was good? By having a good figure, you can just casually show off as you pleased?
Jing Wan first brought water to let him rinse his mouth, then wrung the towel for him to wash his face. From beginning to end, a certain person just boldly sat there. A certain place was truly too distracting to the eyes. Handing him the towel, he didn’t take, instead just raising his head slightly. Even so, Jing Wan still pretended to not understand his meaning, stubbornly extending her hand. “This prince still feels a bit tired and still wants to sleep a little longer.”
Jing Wan reached out and had the towel slapped on his face, randomly wiping his face for him.
“Jing Wan really isn’t gentle at all.”
Jing Wan tugged the corner of her mouth, putting on a fake smile, “This subject has never served anyone before, so wangye needs to be more understanding.”
Li Hong Yuan put on a very magnanimous ‘not bickering with her’ expression, “No matter, Jing Wan is bright and clever by nature, so presumably, after a few more times, you’ll know how.”
Jing Wan very much wanted to say, that was a skill for after marriage. Right now, she didn’t want to learn at all.
[1] The original line is ‘楚河汉界’, which refers to the river that divided the Chu and Han territories. This dates back to the Chu and Han conflict in the 200BCs (I don’t remember the exact year off the top my head). The literal translations is like ‘Chu river, Han boundary’, there’s also a historical anecdote behind this idiom, but it’s really long and not that interesting so I’m not going to explain it. In traditional chinese chess (象棋), the middle section that divides the two sides is called this (pictured below).
