In her previous life, Wen Xingluo poured her heart and soul into planning a future for her father and brothers, finally ushering in the day of her family's prominence.
However, her older ...
Chapter 276 Wen Ningning, I allow you to have a concubine
(This chapter has been modified)
The girl was so soft and delicate that she couldn't use any strength. She kicked Xie Guanlan's strong waist with her pearl shoes made of Shu brocade, but she didn't feel any pain at all.
He held her in his arms.
…
The spring days are lazily and desires are running wild.
The dark green curtains were embroidered with hibiscus flowers, and the flowers were in clusters and intertwined with branches and leaves. The deep red and light pink hibiscus flowers covered the sky like a burning wildfire, which was ready to burn people to ashes.
Inside the spring tent, the sound between lips and teeth was like the chirping of a yellow oriole. The girl clung to Xie Guanlan's arm like a drowned person seeking driftwood. Suddenly, she raised her head and bit the side of his neck...
The afterglow spread through her limbs and bones like ripples on the water, and even her fingertips became soft and weak.
She loosened her teeth, put her little face in the young man's arms and breathed softly.
Xie Guanlan wiped his fingertips with a handkerchief, then lowered his head and kissed her cheek, "Wen Ningning, how do you feel now?"
Wen Xingluo breathed in the scent on his clothes.
The cold and solemn scent of sandalwood was mixed with her scent, which was rich and sweet with a hint of unfamiliar warmth. It was the most deadly aphrodisiac between the bed curtains, making her uncomfortable yet happy. It was an experience she had never had in her past or present life.
She was embarrassed. "Just now... it was weird."
It's weird, but not annoying.
"It's a very interesting experience, isn't it?" Xie Guanlan gently stroked the girl's face with the back of his hand. "Wen Ningning, do you like me again now?"
Wen Xingluo raised his head and lifted his thin, red eyelids.
She looked at the young man's serious face and suddenly kissed his chin. "Why do you use the word 'again'? Xie Guanlan, I have always liked you."
Xie Guanlan was stunned.
He didn't know whether Wen Xingluo remembered the hot spring pool and the memory that followed.
After a long silence, he held her in his arms and buried his face in the crook of her neck. "I always want you to like me more."
"How much more?"
"So much so that you will never say anything like parting ways with me again."
The drooping eyelashes covered the sadness in Xie Guanlan's eyes. He lowered his head and kissed the girl's hair, his heart still aching for the words "parting ways and marrying someone else".
The peonies by the Aquarius window are in full bloom, and their dark shadows fall on the green gauze window, like intertwined flower spirits, lazily stretching and growing in the thin golden spring sun.
"If you like sex, I can learn. Xiangjun said that I am gifted in terms of size, duration, and frequency. But the hot spring pool incident proved that I cannot satisfy you.
"I've thought about this calmly these past few days. I can allow you to have a concubine, but she must first pass my screening and drink a sterilizing drug. Furthermore, I am the only one you can call your husband in name only."
Wen Xingluo stared at him blankly.
The commander, who was famous for his military achievements, was holding her fingertips and kissing them gently.
The serious look on his face was as if he was surrendering.
She was silent for a while, opened her mouth, but felt she had nothing to say.
Xie Guanlan went crazy.
After a long while, she managed to squeeze out a sentence, "Um, you haven't washed your hands yet."
Xie Guanlan: “…”
During the stalemate, the young palace maid reported: "Princess, Mr. Xie, the second and fourth young masters are here to visit you."
Wen Xingluo hurriedly got into bed.
In order to prevent the last incident from happening again, she chased Xie Guanlan to the window and watched him leave with her own eyes. Then she tidied her appearance and went to the outer hall to meet her two brothers.
Xie Shian said happily, "Ningning, look who's here?"
"Miss!"
Cuicui jumped out from behind him with her bag on her back, and threw herself into Wen Xingluo's arms with red eyes, "This servant has missed you so much! It just so happens that the Concubine Dowager is worried about you, so she sent this servant to the capital to serve you!"
Wen Xingluo was knocked back a step by her and subconsciously wanted to call her name, but he couldn't remember it for a while because of the influence of the witchcraft.
Xie Guanlan appeared from the main gate and helped her out. "Cui Cui."
"My Lord!"
Cuicui bowed quickly.
Wen Xingluo felt sorry for her tiredness from the journey and was about to arrange for her to rest when Cuicui took out a few pomeloes from her bag and said proudly, "I've heard that the people in the palace are really bad. They only give the good things to the Emperor and the Empress. They say that ordinary people eat ordinary vegetable-filled sesame cakes, while the Emperor and the Empress eat meat-filled sesame cakes served on golden plates. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to eat good food in the palace, so I bought you fresh pomeloes on the street. They're so sweet! Even the Emperor can't eat them!"
She put the pomelo on the table before stepping back to rest.
Wen Xingluo found it a little funny, but also felt very warm.
She didn't want to let Cuicui down, so she invited Xie Guanlan and the others to have dinner together.
Xie Shian tried to peel the pomelo and said strangely, "This Cuicui must have been deceived. The pomelo peel is so thick that I can't even peel it. It must not be a good pomelo!"
He simply handed the pomelo to Xie Guanlan, "Brother, can you peel it?"
Wen Xingluo was stunned.
Xie Guanlan hasn’t even washed his hands yet!
She stopped Xie Shian, "No!"
Xie Shian was surprised. "Ningning, are you worried about your big brother and don't want him to get tired in the slightest? You even refuse to let him do something as trivial as peeling a grapefruit!"
Wen Xingluo was speechless, "No..."
Xie Yanchen said seriously, "Big brother has nimble fingers. When we were little, he peeled oranges, grapefruits, and all kinds of nuts for us."
Wen Xingluo: “…”
Hands, fingers are flexible...
She glanced at Xie Guanlan's hand out of the corner of her eye, and her cheeks instantly flushed as she thought of what they had just done in the spring tent.
She was embarrassed, "His hands are dirty, I'll get a knife, you can't let him peel it!"
"Why is she acting so strangely?" Xie Shian scratched his head. "Women's hearts are as unpredictable as the sea. I'm finding it increasingly difficult to understand her!"
Xie Guanlan flexed his fingers.
He didn't feel his fingers were dirty.
Xie Yanchen observed the two of them, and when he saw that Wen Xingluo not only brought a knife for cutting fruit, but also fetched a basin of water, he couldn't help but frown.
Wen Xingluo held the basin of water in front of Xie Guanlan and said, "Wash your hands."
Xie Guanlan raised his eyebrows and resigned himself to his fate by putting his hands into the basin, but he insisted quietly, "My hands are clean.
Wen Xingluo: “…”
…
Three days passed in a flash, and today is the day to go hunting in Ziyun Mountain.
The team was huge, and Wen Xingluo and Wen Yueyin rode in the same carriage.
Wen Yueyin revealed a smug smile, unable to suppress her desire to share, and lowered her voice mysteriously, "Little sister, do you know? There has always been a terrifying and powerful force hidden in the palace. Two days ago, I took my second and third brothers to join this force. We will soon accomplish something earth-shattering!"
Wen Xingluo looked at her, "You wouldn't have defected to Pei Lin, would you?"
