Chapter 112 Why Don’t You Want Me to Hold You?

"Please ask them to come in."

"Yes." Lanxing opened the curtain and invited the three people in.

The three of them first greeted Qiao Ruoying and Ming Zhouhe before seeing Li when they approached.

Zheng Leyun sat on the chair Xianyue had brought over, looked at Shi Jianli and said, "I wanted to come yesterday when I knew you were injured, but I came twice and heard you weren't awake. Are you feeling better now?"

Shi Jianli nodded, "Whenever you see me, the first thing you ask me is whether I'm feeling better."

Zheng Leyun laughed: "If you don't ask if the injured person is in pain or feeling better, then what should you ask?"

"Too."

Lin Tingwan said, "I wanted to invite you to play chow after we got back, but I didn't expect you to be injured."

They had never played together before, but after playing one game, they cooperated surprisingly well.

"Or I can watch you guys play. If you ask our little sister Lin out, she'll definitely be happy to go." Shi Jianli tilted her head and glanced at Ming Zhouhe. "I didn't expect you to be so strong. You hit the ball out of the court with one shot."

Ming Zhou and Wen Yan, who were peeling ginkgo nuts, also looked up at Lin Tingwan.

"I'm a little stronger than you."

Ming Zhouhe put the peeled ginkgo nuts next to Shi Jianli and said, "You guys chat, I'm going out."

"Okay." Shi Jianli responded.

The simplest way for her cousin to be nice to her is to always feed her.

After opening the tent door and going out, Ming Zhouhe ran into Ming Zhao and his three siblings and said, "Miss Zheng and the others are inside."

Mingzhao also heard this and looked at Mingyuelin: "Then you go in by yourself, we won't go in."

"OK."

Ming Zhouhe stood beside Ming Zhaohuan and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what about the Fourth and Seventh Princes..."

"I'm doing it." As a minister, one must learn to guess the emperor's mind.

The emperor demoted Concubine Jiang's rank and banished her to the cold palace simply because he wanted to completely purge the court of the Jiang family, which had become increasingly arrogant and deeply rooted since the late Empress Dowager became Empress.

Since this was the case, he pushed forward and completely killed the Fourth Prince and the Seventh Prince to prevent future troubles.

Ming Zhou and Wen Yan nodded and looked at Ming Zhou Qing. "Second brother, shall we go?"

"Come on, big brother, ask Cousin Li for me."

"Okay." Mingzhao nodded and stood outside the tent waiting.

About half a minute later, Qiao Ruoying brought Ming Yuelin and three other girls out. Mingzhao greeted them and went in.

When I entered the tent, I saw Shi Jianli sitting on the couch in a daze, and she looked much better than yesterday.

He stepped forward, half-knelt in front of her, and pinched her face. "What are you daydreaming about?"

Shi Jianli came back to her senses, lowered her eyes to look at him, poked his face with her fingertips, and poked it again, "Is it not okay to be in a daze?"

"Of course." Mingzhao still held her fingers, rubbing them gently with his fingertips. "I came here with my second brother and second sister. When we heard that Miss Yu and the others were also there, my second brother and third brother left first."

"Yeah, I know."

Mingzhao still held her hand and put it against his face, his gentle eyes meeting hers, "I have nothing to do today, what do you want me to do with you?"

Shi Jianli's fingers moved slightly, "Let's play chess. Do you have Go?"

"Yes, I saw my father and second uncle here yesterday. They asked Tianfeng to get it." Mingzhao turned his head and glanced at Xianyue.

Xianyue bowed and left.

Mingzhao stood up, leaned over and gently held her in his arms, staring into her eyes, "Yaoyao, why don't you want me to hold you today?"

Shi Jianli blinked and acquiesced to his behavior.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

"Oh no, I woke up twice." Her cold, dark eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, with a hint of pity.

Mingzhao still had a look of pity in his eyes, and he touched the corner of her eye with his fingertips, "Yaoyao, just bear with it for a few more days, and it won't hurt so much after these few days."

Shi Jianli's eyelashes drooped slightly, and she responded softly, "Yeah."

Mingzhao let her go and kept some distance from her.

The other party glanced at him, with a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Didn't you want to hug me?"

He smiled, and placed his fingertips on the corner of her lips, pressing gently. "Why are you so coquettish? I'm taking advantage of you, Yaoyao."

"You touched my head, pinched my face, held my hand, hugged me. Which advantage did you not take?"

Mingzhao's eyelashes were still slightly lowered, his gaze fell on her lips. After a pause, he raised his eyes and looked at her, "Hmm."

Shi Jianli inexplicably understood his gaze, her eyes moved, and she leaned towards him, tilting her head and asking, "Do you want to... kiss me?"

There was a glitter of cunning in her eyes beneath her long eyelashes. Ming Zhao's Adam's apple rolled slightly and she looked away.

Shi Jianli's eyebrows curved slightly, and she sat down straight, "Coward."

The next moment, her cheek was gently pinched, and then her chin was lifted up by him. She looked at his enlarged face, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Of course I do." Mingzhao raised the corner of his lips, tilted his head, and put his cheek against hers, rubbing it gently, his breath falling on her neck. "But there are some things that can only be done after marriage, Yaoyao. I want to be close to you, but I don't want to offend you."

He could still afford to wait five months.

Shi Jianli blinked, her long eyelashes brushing against the side of his face, and her fingers grasped his sleeve, "I was just teasing you."

She could often sense his strong desire for intimacy, but he would just stare at her. Many times, further physical contact between them was initiated by her with her permission.

"Yeah, I know." Mingzhao was still moving away, but when his sight met hers, he moved closer, covered her lips with his hand, and lowered his eyes.

Under his palm was the soft touch of her lips and her shallow breathing. He slowly raised his eyes, met her eyes, and kissed the back of his hand that was covering her lips, a smile spreading across his brows.

Shi Jianli's eyes widened slightly.

Mingzhao stepped back with his lips curled, put the back of his hand on her cheek, and touched her head.

Shi Jianli looked away, her cheeks slightly hot.

Xianyue brought the Go board, and Mingzhao played a few games with her and had lunch with her.

At noon, Yuan Yuhe came, and the wife of the Duke of Fuguo and her daughter also came to visit Shi Jianli. Su Xingyu sat next to Shi Jianli, tilting his head and looking at her.

"What are you looking at?" Shi Jianli pinched his little chubby face.

Su Xingyu held her hand and asked, "Auntie, where does it hurt? Let me comfort you."

Shi Jianli smiled widely and held out her hand to him, "Xingyu, give me a blowjob. It will stop hurting me if you give me a blowjob."

The little guy puffed up his face, took a deep breath, and exhaled.

Shi Jianli couldn't help laughing and rubbed his little head again, "Thank you Xingyu."

…

The next day, the emperor, empress and ministers moved camp and returned to the capital.

Mingzhao was still supporting Shi Li when he saw her get on the carriage. He then turned around and told Mingyuelin, "Take good care of your sister Li."

"Don't worry." Mingyuelin took Shi Jianli in his arms as soon as he got on the carriage and let her lean on his shoulder. "I will definitely make sure Sister Li returns home comfortably."

When I arrived at the Anguo Mansion, as soon as I got off the carriage, I saw a woman about twenty years old standing in front of the mansion gate waiting, and a tall and straight man stood next to her.
