Chapter 21 Jiang Fenghua's Little Thoughts
After Granny Wang left, Xie Shang took off his cumbersome official robes and completely immersed himself in the water.
Jiang Fenghua's stunningly beautiful face always lingered in his mind; her perfect figure, long, beautiful legs, fair skin, her delicate voice, and her soft, alluring body...
Xie Shang suddenly emerged from the water and punched it hard, creating a splash.
Lin Feng had just reached the door when he heard the commotion inside. He immediately drew his longsword and rushed in. "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Xie Shang's gaze was icy cold as he swept it over Lin Feng. Half of his body was above the water, revealing his large, muscular chest and strong, powerful arms. Lin Feng glanced at him and felt incredibly embarrassed, quickly sheathing his sword.
"Why are you blushing?" Xie Shang asked him.
Lin Feng made no attempt to hide his praise, saying, "Your Highness has such a great physique! You look slim in clothes but muscular when you take them off. The key is that Your Highness exudes a captivating aura just after emerging from the water."
Xie Shang's expression darkened slightly. "Do you have anything else to say?"
"That's all. Has Your Highness finished washing?" Lin Feng asked.
"close the door."
Lin Feng obediently closed the door.
Xie Shang glanced at him and said, "You've been living and eating at the yamen for so many days. Why don't you take a bath before you get back to your residence?"
"Your subordinate has finished washing up, and not only that, but also ate and drank to his heart's content before coming to see you, Master." Lin Feng couldn't be more satisfied. He felt incredibly pleased with himself. As soon as he entered the mansion, he was greeted with delicious snacks and beautiful women to admire. It was truly a feast for the eyes!
Xie Shang hadn't eaten anything from the morning court session to the evening court session. He was so angry that he was full and couldn't eat. Now, after taking a bath, he felt hungry. Hearing Lin Feng say that he had eaten and drunk his fill and was still enjoying himself, he teased, "I've never seen you enjoy the food at the Prince's mansion so much before."
"Ah, this humble servant did not eat the dishes prepared by Chef Zhao, but instead..." He hesitated before continuing.
Xie Shang grabbed a bath towel, wrapped it around himself, and started getting dressed. He was too lazy to argue with Lin Feng, who was smooth-talking and could always get food from him anywhere.
Seeing that he went behind the screen, Lin Feng wasn't surprised where he had gone to eat and said, "Isn't Your Highness curious about what I ate?"
"You'll only eat if it's edible. Would you eat shit?" Xie Shang was angry and spoke harshly.
"This humble servant isn't stupid enough to eat shit." Lin Feng was a little angry. The prince was too uncivilized. He deliberately said, "What the princess makes can't compare to shit."
Xie Shang was stunned. Jiang Fenghua had prepared lunch for Lin Feng. She had gone to the courtyard earlier; could it be...?
He thought that Jiang Fenghua would never care about him again, and might even return him to Su Tingwan.
He knew that Su Tingwan definitely couldn't cook; it must have been the cook in the manor who did it. He used to cook for Wanwan.
She can only make milk wine at most, but that stuff has a strong, gamey smell that he doesn't like.
They waited until he was dressed and ready before opening the door and going out.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and the air was getting hotter and hotter. He specially found a silver-white brocade robe with cloud patterns to wear, and his half-dry hair was tied up on top of his head and fixed with a purple-gold crown. He looked as elegant as an immortal and exceptionally handsome.
Xie Shang originally wanted to go to the Sandalwood Courtyard, but since this place was close to the study, it was naturally closer to the Moon-Viewing Pavilion as well. In addition, Lin Feng was intentionally or unintentionally leading him towards the Moon-Viewing Pavilion.
After passing through two long corridors, we unknowingly arrived at the courtyard wall of Lanyue Pavilion.
A breeze blew by, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers. He was tall and slender, and he could see a sea of flowers just by looking up. He thought to himself, "I haven't seen this place for half a month. When did so many flowers grow here?"
Lin Feng seemed to see through his thoughts and took the initiative to explain, "Aren't they beautiful? I heard from Hongxiu that these flowers in the Princess's courtyard were a gift from someone, a man."
Xie Shang was startled and felt a pang of sadness, but he knew that women from noble families like Jiang Fenghua were the most virtuous and chaste.
Lin Feng continued, "Doesn't Your Highness want to know which man gave it to you? I suppose Your Highness doesn't want to know either, so forget it." I don't believe you're not even a little bit moved by the Princess Consort, keep guessing!
Upon reaching the courtyard gate, Xie Shang hesitated. Wanwan was still waiting for him; he should go to the Sandalwood Courtyard, not to Jiang Fenghua's place.
Just as he was about to leave, a cheer suddenly came from the courtyard, "The princess is amazing!"
He turned back and peered inside quietly.
Suddenly, a rack appeared beside the pavilion, with several colorful ribbons tied to it. Jiang Fenghua, dressed in a thin robe, looked as soft as silk hanging on the ribbons.
Her slender arms pulled the colorful ribbon as she spun and landed. She was as light as a butterfly, delicate and boneless, dancing freely with the help of the ribbon.
What's even more amazing is that her whole body seems to fold, with her toes hooking directly to the tip of her head and hair. She spins around like this repeatedly, which is absolutely spectacular.
Lin Feng suddenly exclaimed, "This is absolutely amazing!"
Jiang Fenghua looked up and saw Xie Shang standing outside the courtyard gate. Her face was full of surprise and fear. The colorful ribbon in her hand loosened, and her whole body slid down the ribbon.
Xie Shang suddenly leaped up, using his lightness skill to rush towards her. As she landed barefoot, he successfully wrapped his arms around her waist.
Jiang Fenghua quickly pushed him away, keeping a slight distance, and bowed respectfully, "Why has Your Highness come?"
As she spoke, she winked at Hongxiu and handed her an outer robe. Hongxiu was quick and immediately took the robe and draped it over her shoulders.
Jiang Fenghua dressed herself very gracefully, then put on her shoes and socks. Her movements were fluid and graceful, and it seemed that her ankle was completely healed.
She was terrified of losing her composure, so she stood obediently to the side.
Lianye quickly offered a cup of tea, saying, "Your Highness, please have some tea."
Jiang Fenghua licked her pink lips, and Xie Shang was slightly lost in thought when he saw her crystal-clear lips, finding every movement of hers alluring.
Was she doing it on purpose?
Suddenly, he took the tea that Lianye offered and handed it to Jiang Fenghua, saying, "Weren't you thirsty? Drink up, I'm not thirsty!"
Jiang Fenghua froze, a blush spreading across her face. She quickly took the drink, finished it in one gulp, handed it back to Lianye, and then curtsied.
Xie Shang asked, "Do you like dancing that much?" His tone was tentative, as if she was deliberately trying to attract his attention by dancing in the courtyard.
"Dancing not only kills time, but it also keeps me healthy. When I get tired, I take a nap, and when I wake up it's already afternoon. Then I practice calligraphy for a while, read a book, do some basic exercises, and when I'm tired again, I sleep. Sleeping more makes you prettier, you know." She rarely acted coquettishly.
She meant that life in the Prince's mansion was like this, day after day, extremely boring.
Xie Shang listened quietly, sensing her loneliness. She found her voice gentle and pleasant, soft and sweet. She must be beautiful enough already! What a greedy woman.
As his wife, it was perfectly normal for her to use some tricks to attract her husband, but he despised women like that the most.
He leaned slightly forward, exuding a cold aura, indicating that he had not been seduced by her.
Jiang Fenghua didn't care what he thought. Men are always saying one thing and meaning another. Who would have thought that such a delicate and beautiful woman would be involved in the case of the Minister of Justice, and even be one of the instigators?
She looked up and met his burning gaze.
