Chapter 133 I promised to sleep well

Shi Jianli's body stiffened slightly, "What are you doing?"

Mingzhao turned over and pressed her under him. He put his hand behind her neck to lift her head, kissed her lips, sucked and bit her, pushed open her lips and teeth and went deep into her to grab her breath.

They exchanged breaths, and Shi Jianli's vision gradually became blurred. Her eyes were misty and her eyes were hazy. Her palms were resting on his waist and abdomen, and she felt the well-defined abdominal muscles under his pajamas.

Remembering how strong his waist was last night, she curled her fingers slightly and her cheeks flushed even more.

Mingzhao was still pinching her cheek, and he pulled away slightly, then asked vaguely, "Open your mouth, what are you thinking about, Madam?"

Her thoughts were brought back by his words. Shi Jian opened her red lips slightly, tentatively responding to his kiss, and then he kissed her more passionately.

She bit his lip, getting the signal, and he became gentler, but the kiss was still long.

Mingzhao's eyes were still dark. His hand reached into her waist, stroking her soft waist from time to time, causing her body to tremble slightly.

"Yaoyao." After a long time, he retreated from her lips and kissed her neck gently, leaving ambiguous traces.

"Hmm..." Shi Jianli held his wrist, her breath filled with a slight gasp that she could hardly suppress.

Mingzhao still let her control his hand. He bit her collarbone and then stopped. He looked up and saw that her eyebrows had become more beautiful because of the kiss. He leaned over and kissed her eyelids.

He gently stroked her back and said, "Okay, go to sleep. You promised Madam that you would have a good sleep."

She was tired last night too.

Shi Jianli dimples in his arms, quietly feeling each other's hot body temperature and gradually steady heartbeat. She closed her eyes and thought about random things for a long time before falling asleep.

Mingzhao also pulled the quilt over her and held her hand.

In the middle of the night, he felt her kicking off the quilt, so he let go of her for a while to let some of the heat dissipate before holding her in his arms again.

Shortly after dawn, Shi Jianli woke up and found herself being held loosely in his arms. After lying lazily for a while, she reached out and tugged at the corner of his clothes.

Mingzhao held her up, looked at her, tied the loose nightgown belt for her, tidied himself up, put on his coat, and then pulled the rope outside the bed frame.

Shi Jianli sat on the bed and watched his series of actions.

Lanxing and Xianyue heard the bell, knocked on the door, and led Zhiyun and Chensha in with water to the washroom area. Then one of them retreated to the dressing table to wait while the other prepared the meal.

Mingzhao led his people to wash up and said to Lanxing and the others, "There is a lunch banquet in the mansion today, so tell the small kitchen not to prepare our lunch."

"Yes, uncle."

After washing up, Shi Jianli went to do her makeup. Mingzhao poured a cup of warm tea and handed it to her lips, "Moisten your throat."

Shi Jianli drank the tea from his hand.

Xianyue, who was dressing her, couldn't help but smile.

After she finished drinking, Mingzhao put down the teacup, did not ask the servants to serve him, and quickly picked out a set of clothes and put them on.

After Mingzhao went out, Shi Jianli asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Xianyue whispered back, "I'm glad that my uncle treats me well. Yesterday, when you went to take a bath, he asked me if you had the habit of getting up at night so that he could take care of you."

Shi Jianli couldn't help but look towards the outer hall, and pursed the corners of her lips.

Xianyue fixed her hair and asked, "What color clothes do you want to wear today, young lady?"

"Anything is fine."

Upon hearing this, Xianyue went to the closet and chose a purple enamel dress.

After getting dressed, Shi Jianli stood up and turned around to see Mingzhao still leaning against the bead curtain, smiling at her.

"Alright? Let's go have breakfast then." When she arrived in front of him, Mingzhao took her hand and kissed her forehead, "You look very beautiful."

Shi Jianli looked up at him and curved her eyes towards him.

Sitting at the table, Mingzhao served her a bowl of porridge. "The day before our wedding, my aunt, cousin, cousin's wife, and cousin came to Beijing to attend our wedding banquet. My great aunt also came to Beijing with my second cousin's two children."

"The other relatives went back that night, and only these two families stayed at home. After breakfast, Yaoyao and I will go to meet them."

Shi Jianli nodded, "Okay."

"Has Yaoyao ever met my great-aunt before?"

"I haven't seen her, but my aunt told me that there hasn't been much contact between the family and my great-aunt in recent years."

The so-called great-aunt was the sister of the old Duke, who married the Prince of Guangde. The Prince of Guangde was a member of the imperial clan and was granted the title of Taozhou, so the great-aunt also went to Taozhou.

The title of Prince of a County is not hereditary, but temporary. If the descendants can live up to their potential and become half as capable as the Prince of Guangde, the title of Prince of a County can be maintained.

However, the descendants of Prince Guangde were not very promising. They performed mediocrely in the military examinations and the imperial examinations. Prince Guangde's request to be named the Prince's Prince was rejected, and the eldest son of the Prince only inherited the title of General Guarding the Country, but had no real position.

Even by the third generation, no one had ever been outstanding, and the family now relied on the ancestral grace and family fortune to survive. They were members of the imperial clan, but also distant descendants of a small clan.

Mingzhao even used chopsticks to pick up some side dishes and put them in her bowl. "Well, the last time I saw my great-aunt was ten years ago."

"The descendants of the Guangde County Prince's Mansion cannot leave Taozhou. Apart from the New Year's greetings and gifts, the two families really don't have much interaction."

"People tend to be nostalgic in their old age. Perhaps my great aunt missed the capital city in her old age and took the opportunity of our wedding to come back and take a look."

After breakfast, Shi Jianli took out a handkerchief.

Mingzhao even took the handkerchief from her hand and touched the corner of her lips. "It's springtime, shall we go for a walk in the garden?"

There is no rule in the mansion to pay respects before dawn every day. It is enough to go and sit with the elders every three to five days, no matter whether it is in the morning or afternoon.

Shi Jianli blinked lightly, "Okay."

He leaned over, kissed her lips, and took her hand, "Let's go."

As we walked along, the lacquered pillars on the eaves of the palace were still hung with festive red silk, and the crabapples in the garden were in full bloom, with large clusters of them blooming happily. The time was beautiful and the spring scenery was bustling.

After entering the garden, Mingzhao picked a crabapple and pinned it in Shijianli's hair. He leaned over to meet her eyes, touched her cheek, and said softly, "The crabapple is not as beautiful as your madam."

He felt this way last year.

Sometimes the corners of Pear's lips are raised.

"Do you want to feed the koi? Have someone bring some fish food."

She nodded and looked at Lanxing, who bowed and left.

Arriving at the waterside pavilion, half leaning against the railing, she saw the koi carp swimming in the pond. Shi Jianli said, "A winter has passed, and the fish have become thin and hungry."

Mingzhao was still sitting beside her, looking at her profile. "In a month or two, with everyone feeding her, she'll probably be too fat to swim."

There were light footsteps approaching. Mingzhao had a keen sense of hearing. He looked over and saw a strange woman. He then lowered his eyes to look at his wife.

Soon, Shi Jianli also heard it and turned around to look. It was a young girl with a pretty appearance, giving people a cool feeling.

The woman came in front of them, her eyes stayed on Ming Zhaohuan for a moment, and she bowed, "My cousin, my cousin's wife."
