Locked Chapters Are Blank, Don't Bother Reading

Chapter 10 ... The ambiguous sounds in the house took a long time to subside. Xia Zichu was covered with Ying Jingqi's coat and nestled against the other person's chest, too shy to show his face. The sound of his powerful heartbeat could be heard in her ears. She felt extremely tired and sleepy, but she was reluctant to fall asleep. The two of them clasped their fingers together and enjoyed this rare quiet time. They all know what kind of storm they will face when they return. Yingjing Qi rubbed the smooth waist of the person in his arms, and his feelings gradually changed. "Chuchu?" His hand continued to move downwards... "Yes." Xia Zichu's voice was slightly hoarse. He noticed the changes in the other person's body and begged for mercy: "... Goodbye, Jing Qi." She had seen the energy of the person next to her pillow, but just once she felt overwhelmed. If the intuition came again, she might not be able to get out of bed tonight. At this moment, there was still a dull pain somewhere in her body, and it was difficult to say: "I feel very uncomfortable there." "Does it still hurt now?" Ying Jingqi didn't understand this and sat up to take a look. "Don't look, don't look! You..." Xia Zichu wished she could cover his eyes, but in the end it was too late and she could only cover her face. "It's swollen." Ying Jingqi frowned regretfully, looked at the furnishings in the room, put on her underpants, got out of bed and brought a basin of water, rummaged through a pile of clothes at the foot of the bed to find a handkerchief and a small medicine bottle, and personally cleaned and applied medicine to her. Yingjing Qi explained: "This is a good medicine for wounds. It has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. I always carry it with me. After using this medicine, you won't feel pain after a while." For Xia Zichu, the whole process was a different kind of punishment. What she was wondering was, this man used to blush easily, so how could he suddenly become thick-skinned? But she couldn't ask this question no matter what. After doing all this, Ying Jing Qi noticed the red color on the straw mat, and looked down at it for a while, until Xia Zichu reminded him: "Jing Qi, are you okay yet?" "... Okay." Ying Jingqi turned away as if nothing had happened, "Chu Chu, let me get dressed for you." "No, I can put it on myself. Turn your back." Xia Zichu quickly stopped him, which was really embarrassing. "Okay." Ying Jingqi separated their clothes and turned around to get dressed. Xia Zichu was still wrapped in gauze, so at least the clothes could cover her body. After everything was packed up, Ying Jingqi pulled Xia Zichu to sit on the edge of the bed, with a solemn look on his face, looking quite embarrassed. "What's wrong?" Ying Jingqi suddenly knelt down on one knee, but he did not bow his head respectfully like before. His eyes were burning, and he looked up at his beloved girl. The love in his eyes almost overflowed, and he said seriously: "Chu Chu, I have nothing to offer and my status is humble. I can only give you my heart and my life. So, are you willing to marry me?" "Of course I am willing. But I am already engaged, so I'm afraid..." Xia Zichu said sadly. Ying Jingqi shook his head, with a solemn expression, "As long as you are willing to marry me, no matter what happens in the future, in my heart, you will be my wife." Xia Zichu was moved, "Okay, no matter what happens in the future, in my heart, you are my husband." The two of them kneeled down side by side, bowed twice to the moon outside the window, then turned around and bowed face to face. The moment they looked up at each other, Xia Zichu burst into tears. She knew that her future was bleak, and the world was too big to accommodate her feelings for him. "Madam, don't cry." Yingjing took a step forward and hugged her tenderly, "Tonight is the wedding night for you and me. I am very happy." "... Me too, husband." Xia Zichu burst into tears. After exiting this door, they are still the princess and the secret guard, and there is still an unpredictable future waiting for them. When they returned to the palace, Ying Jingqi clearly felt that the palace was more guarded than usual, so the two of them sneaked into Tingfeng Pavilion under the cover of night. After Ying Jingqi retreated, Xia Zichu called the palace maid and ordered her to go to bed, while her own servant went to report the news about Xia Zichu to the emperor. After breakfast on the second day, Xia Yingrui, who had returned from the next court, stepped into Tingfeng Pavilion with an angry face. Xia Zichu and all the palace people knelt down to greet him respectfully. "Everyone, step back," Xia Yingrui said. When the palace door closed and there was no third person, Xia Yingrui said with an unkind expression: "What happened last night?" Before Xia Zichu could speak, Xia Yingrui said impatiently: "The noble princess was kidnapped by thieves for one night, and there are already rumors in the capital. Have you done anything to disgrace the consort in your marriage?" "My sister is scared." Xia Zichu lay deeply on the ground, testing the emperor's attitude. Xia Yingrui said coldly: "It's okay if you don't want to tell the truth. When I find an old nanny in the palace to examine your body, it will be clear to you." This can no longer be hidden. The old nuns in the palace had their own method of verifying virginity, which was specially used to select concubines for the emperor. Xia Zichu was filled with emotions and choked up: "My sister has betrayed the divine grace and is willing to twist her hair to become a sister-in-law." "Shameless thing!" Xia Yingrui suddenly became angry and kicked Xia Zichu on the shoulder, causing her to scream in pain and shed tears. There was no need for Xia Zichu to pretend at this moment, tears fell down like broken pearls. "Bitch, you ruined my life!" Xia Yingrui shouted angrily. How can a prime minister, who is more powerful than one person and more powerful than ten thousand people, be willing to marry a ruined flower and a fallen willow as his eldest grandson's wife? Xia Yingrui's eyes were filled with tears. She wished she could kill Xia Zichu on the spot. She raised her foot and kicked him out again. Unexpectedly, a black shadow appeared in front of Xia Zichu, and the kick fell on him. Ying Jingqi didn't seem to feel any pain. He tightly protected Xia Zichu behind him, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, calm down. The master is weak and cannot bear such severe corporal punishment." "Are you... The secret guard of the Third Emperor's Sister? Why are you a man?" Xia Yingrui frowned unhappily. Ying Jingqi said: "Yes, this slave is the secret guard arranged by the late emperor for the third princess." Xia Yingrui asked: "Where were you when the incident happened last night? Why didn't you protect your master?" Ying Jingqi responded fluently, "The thief's lightness skills are far superior to the slave, and the slave was thrown away by him. When the slave found his master, the thief had disappeared." These are all good excuses in collusion with Xia Zichu. Xia Yingrui said: "Can you tell which martial arts sect that thief comes from?" Yingjing Qiqi said: "The footwork is consistent with that of Nu Qinggong. It seems that he came from the same sect." Xia Yingrui showed an expression of "Sure enough," and other than his bold younger brothers, no one thought otherwise. "Third Emperor Sister was frightened last night, so she stayed in Tingfeng Pavilion to cultivate herself. It is not suitable to move around, let alone see outsiders." "Yes, my sister takes the order." Xia Zichu was put under house arrest in disguise, and kowtowed despite the pain. Xia Yingrui left with even greater anger, and Ying Jingqi didn't show up again. He only had time to give Xia Zichu a comforting look and hid in the darkness before the palace guests entered the palace.

Looking forward to the next article! Go big

Chapter 6 ... After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Xia Zichu almost thought that Ying Jingqi was not here tonight, but the young man arrived belatedly and stood three feet away, motionless. Xia Zichu saw the black scarf on the other person's face at the first glance, and immediately frowned, thinking to himself: Don't worry about shaving your head because it's too hot, right? There is a saying in the book that most men are lustful people. Could it be that he had a temporary sexual desire at that time? She thought she was still pretty. She said slightly nervously: "Come here." Ying Jingqi followed the words and knelt on one knee in front of the couch. "Look up and look at me." Ying Jingqi had to raise his head and look into her eyes. Xia Zichu took off his black scarf without saying a word and noticed that his eyes wandered. At this situation, her nervous throat went dry, "Are you avoiding me?" ——Yes, he is avoiding her. Ying Jingqi was not used to lying, so he could only say tactfully: "It was the slave who overstepped his bounds last night, and the slave was willing to be punished." Xia Zichu calmed down and asked tentatively: "Then have you ever regretted..." After a pause, he said shyly: "Have you ever regretted hugging me and kissing me like that?" Yingjing Qi didn't know if he remembered what happened last night, his ears turned red, "I don't regret it." "Being frivolous, Your Majesty, is a serious crime. If I take your life because of this, will you regret it?" Xia Zichu added weight. Ying Jingqi said without hesitation, "I don't regret it either." Xia Zichu couldn't suppress the raised corners of his lips and said with shame, "Then why did you treat me like that last night?" He added hastily: "You have to answer honestly and don't lie. No matter what you say, I will forgive you." Yingjing Qi's answer was extremely difficult: "Because... Because the slave has an unreasonable desire for the master... For the master. The slave developed... A love between a man and a woman for the master." After speaking, he knelt down on his knees and lowered his head and said: "Slave's crime deserves death!" "In that case, how do you plan to atone for your sins?" Xia Zichu was filled with joy and smiled. Ying Jingqi heard her joke and looked at her in confusion. The two looked at each other, and Xia Zichu murmured: "There are trees in the mountains, and the trees have branches. Do you know that my heart is pleased with you?" "... Master?" Hearing her words expressing her feelings again, especially in this sober state, Ying Jingqi still couldn't believe it. Xia Zichu simply knelt down on the couch and gently brushed his eyebrows with her fingers, "What, you don't believe it?" "The slave believes what the master says." Ying Jingqi felt ashamed and found it difficult to say: "But the master is a wealthy man with a noble status, and the slave... Is a slave and is not worthy of the master." Xia Zichu laughed and said, "What do you mean by golden branches and jade leaves, noble status? In my heart, you are the best. Those young masters are not even one ten thousandth as good as you." After hearing this, Yingjing's seven eyes shone with light, and he let himself kiss the girl. Surprised, Xia Zichu closed his eyes in panic and murmured: "... Jing Qi..." While they were caressing each other, she couldn't help but put her hands on the young man's shoulders. ——The breaths of each other blended together, and the two hearts were beating wildly. ... Suddenly, the girl fell off the bed and ran into the young man's arms. Yingjing Qi was shocked, "Master!" Xia Zichu immediately calmed down and rested his head on his chest with peace of mind. He pointed at his lips and said, "How can Jing Qi atone for his sins when he is so bold?" "I am willing to pay with my life." Yingjing Qi vowed. Xia Zichu said dissatisfied: "What should I do with your life?" Ying Jingqi said affectionately: "I will use this life to protect my master. I will never leave my master for the rest of my life." Xia Zichu smiled with satisfaction, moved his buttocks unconsciously, so that he could sit more comfortably, and said angrily: "What are you hiding on your body, and you are pushing against me again." The summer clothes are thin, and they can feel each other's body temperature in such a tight embrace. "..." Yingjing Qi was embarrassed and ashamed. When he was less than thirty, he was at his most vigorous. Although I have never been close to a woman, it is just like this. Once the person you love is in your arms, how can you control it? He endured extremely hard work and glanced at the person in his arms covertly. Xia Zichu received the other person's eyes, and suddenly felt blessed. He vaguely realized that he seemed to have asked a terrible question. Although he was confused, he did not dare to speak or move anymore. After a long time, Xia Zichu felt that the strange feeling disappeared. She didn't dare to speak or move, and her pretty face was flushed. ——This seems, seems, indeed, a big question. Ying Jingqi's feelings were even worse. He hugged the girl back to the couch and said softly: "It's getting late. Master, please go to bed quickly." Xia Zichu didn't respond, lying with his back turned, only the tips of his red ears could be seen. Ying Jingqi looked at her back silently, with a focused expression. Finally, I got bold enough to sit on the edge of my master's bed for the first time, and touched her ears, which felt hot to the touch. Xia Zichu couldn't bear it and shrank his neck. He turned around and grabbed his mischievous palm. He was still too shy to look at the other person. He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, completely forgetting about his appearance. In the blink of an eye, the hands holding each other became sweaty. I don't know who was sweating nervously, or both of them. At this moment, no one was willing to let go of the other person's hand. It wasn't until Xia Zichu took a long breath and really fell asleep that Ying Jingqi reluctantly stood up, bent down and kissed her on the forehead... For Xia Zichu and Ying Jingqi, this night is very long, but very short. Some things have quietly changed, including the desire in people's hearts to take root and sprout. And Xia Zichu began to look forward to the rare time alone with Ying Jingqi. She sometimes thinks: How great it would be if Yingjing Qi could stand by her side one day openly and honestly! Good times always pass by quickly. During this period, Xia Yingzhe came to see Xia Zichu again. The girl who was just learning about love didn't notice the ambition growing in her twin brother's eyes, but the younger brother who was beginning to get involved in power and conspiracy noticed the brilliance and sadness in her twin sister's eyes. All of this made Xia Yingzhe secretly swear: he must control his own destiny! No matter what the price is, even if you are doomed and trapped in purgatory, you must get the supreme power! In the blink of an eye, Xia Zichu held a haircut ceremony, followed closely by the emperor's imperial edict of marriage. "... My three imperial sisters are kind-hearted and prudent... Now we have Fu Xiuqi, the eldest grandson of the prime minister, who is a young and talented man with a wealth of knowledge... Now that the princess is in her prime years, she has been specially promoted to Princess Changle and given the marriage to Fu Xiuqi. I hope you two will agree..." The imperial edict granting marriage was very long. Xia Zichu knelt down and vaguely heard the words "Prime Minister's eldest grandson Fu Xiuqi" and "Marriage granting Fu Xiuqi", but his mind drifted to yesterday afternoon—— The summer afternoon was long, and Xia Zichu accidentally fell asleep while reading. When I woke up, there was no one in the study, except for the figure Qi, who was dressed in black and carrying a sword. Xia Zichu was covered with his coat, and Ying Jingqi was the first to speak: "The weather is getting colder today. Master should ask someone to prepare a thin quilt for nap, in case he catches the cold." His tone was full of worry. "Aren't you here?" Xia Zichu said angrily, sitting up. Ying Jingqi naturally sat on the side of the recliner and took him into his arms, "Have you slept enough?" "Well, I haven't remembered yet, so you can read to me." "Okay."
