Chapter 111 Husband, do you really like it so much, husband?

Xie Jing hasn't dressed like this for a long time.

When it comes to the princess, Yu Qing has never been able to resist.

Although it's true that she's interested in men, this is just too pretty...

Tonight, the princess was both elegant and graceful. The pearl earrings on either side swayed gently, and a pearl necklace was woven into her hair. She had no idea how it was done, only that the round, smooth, pure white pearls were entwined between her long black hair, and below that, a slender neck, covered in a light gauze dress...

Yu Qing followed him and swallowed subconsciously.

There were layers of gauze hanging in the inner room. When she pushed them aside, she felt the soft and light gauze sliding across her palm.

"Your Highness..." Yu Qing called out with difficulty.

Xie Jing turned around and asked, "Look, what time is it now?"

Yu Qing said: "But I have already sent a message to the mansion..."

"Just because I've passed on the message, will I be able to come back later?" the princess asked. "Today I'll be half an hour later, tomorrow I'll be an hour later, and in a few days I won't be back at all."

Yu Qing: “…”

Yu Qing thought that the princess was too spoiled, but who could blame her for being pretty?

But before she started to coax him, the other person leaned over, sniffed her, and rubbed his nose against her cheek and ear. Yu Qing froze for a moment.

Xie Jing said angrily, "The Prince Consort still smells of alcohol."

Yu Qing said: "I just came back from the banquet and had a few drinks..."

Xie Jing asked, "Did he go out with someone and have a good time?"

Although he was questioning her, he was actually hugging Yu Qing and stroking her wrist. Yu Qing was so dazzled by his delicate fragrance that she said, "No."

She couldn't help wanting to kiss him, but he actually blocked her, put his hand on her chin, and asked, "Are there a lot of beauties outside?"

Looking at the princess' raised eyes, Yu Qing said, "Yes, yes..."

The princess frowned.

Yu Qing said earnestly, "But none of them are as good-looking as Your Highness. As soon as I thought of Your Highness, I hurried back."

The princess seemed to be considering the truth of this statement. Yu Qing was worried that this was not enough and that the princess would still not let him kiss her. He immediately added, "I will definitely return home earlier in the future. Your Highness, please forgive me."

Xie Jing smiled, then lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead.

"Why are you taking this so seriously, Prince Consort? How could I blame you?" He continued softly, "You must have been on duty today, weren't you? You have to go out again tonight, so you must be tired now... Prince Consort, let me help you change your clothes."

Yu Qing's heart was beating back and forth with the other person's every move. Somehow, when she came to her senses, she was already sitting on the dressing table, and the princess had taken away her belt.

Yu Qing: “…”

Xie Jing came closer and they kissed for a while. Yu Qing felt him getting closer and closer, and gradually getting closer and closer. Her legs rubbed against his waist... She thought this was not good.

In fact, during these few days in Wenhua Garden, Yu Qing was not as enthusiastic as she was in the palace. Although she was close to him, she was not very presumptuous.

After all, when "Qingjia" was here, everything between the two of them was very innocent, and Yu Qing never had any improper thoughts. Later, she would miss the princess here - this led to her feeling a little ashamed if she did too much here, because in her impression, the princess was pure and innocent after all.

But now she couldn't escape at all.

Because of this outfit, Xie Jing's face naturally had a more graceful air. Facing him like this, Yu Qing really couldn't do anything and inexplicably felt a little guilty.

Just when she was in a dilemma, it was the princess who put her hand on her first.

Yu Qing's scalp immediately went numb, but Xie Jing's other hand pressed on her knee again.

Yu Qing: “…”

Her breathing began to become disordered, and she said with difficulty: "Your Highness, you..."

"Hush," the princess came over again and said, "I can serve my husband well."

This was a bit terrifying. Yu Qing even felt a little flustered. Seeing that the other person was leaning down a little more, she immediately stopped him and said, "You get up first."

There was a terrifying light in those beautiful eyes. The other person just pursed his lips and smiled, then came over and whispered in her ear...

It’s like this every time. After he finishes speaking, Yu Qing feels like he can’t understand what he’s saying.

After a moment of confusion and shock, she opened her eyes wide.

She almost felt like her soul was leaving her body for a moment, and she couldn't control her voice at all. She wanted to push Xie Jing away, but his hair accessories were so exquisite and unique that she didn't know where to put her hands. She was afraid of messing up his hair, and she was completely helpless.

In the end, she could only support herself by holding on to the table behind her, but her hands were shaking and she almost fell down several times.

…

Yu Qing almost begged for mercy to his wife. It was the first time in her life that she felt so embarrassed. She didn't even know what she was shouting. After being in a daze for a long time, she saw Xie Jing leaning over again and kissing her neck which was covered with a little sweat a few times. The two of them hugged each other tightly again.

“…”

The princess's earrings kept swinging before her eyes.

It seems that she is still a beautiful and affectionate wife. But in some places, it is not so.

It was a shock to both her body and mind. Yu Qing clung to him and felt like she was going crazy. Xie Jing kept calling her "Prince Consort" in her ear.

Then she discovered, despairingly, that strange was one thing, and wonderful was another. This moment was truly...exciting.

…

When the prince opened his eyes the next day, he held his forehead and calmed down for a while.

When she turned around and saw the face of the person beside her, she became less calm again.

Xie Jing took a quick shower and went to bed last night, and forgot to take off his earrings.

She tried to get up, but Xie Jing sensed her movements and gently embraced her in a daze: "...What time?"

Yu Qing said: "I don't know."

"I'm so sleepy," Xie Jing whispered, "Stay with me for a while..."

She hadn't slept for many hours last night, and in fact, Yu Qing hadn't gotten enough sleep. With the soft and fragrant jade in her arms, she simply gave up struggling and returned to the quilt.

As soon as she closed her eyes, she was still the princess from last night. In her half-awake state, the image of her remained lingering in her mind.

After more than half an hour, the two finally got up reluctantly.

After she put on her clothes, she said to Xie Jing, "Xie Jing, you are not a human being."

Xie Jing was bewildered: "...Ah?"

Yu Qing: "You vixen."

Xie Jing whispered, "...Oh."

In fact, he felt a little embarrassed when he thought about last night.

Now he looked at Yu Qing in a sweet and pitiful manner and said, "Okay, I will be whatever you say I am. I will obey my husband."

Yu Qing: “…”

Whenever she heard the words "prince consort" or "husband", her face turned red and she couldn't stand it anymore.

Xie Jing came over and hugged her waist again - maybe last night was really too much, Yu Qing had not fully recovered yet, even when he touched her, she trembled uncontrollably.

She quickly pushed him away and said, "...Don't touch me first."

Xie Jing asked, "Do you really like it that much, husband?"

"..." Yu Qing said, "You are not allowed to call me that anymore."

Xie Jing said, "Okay, husband."

Yu Qing: “…”

She really lost to him.

Fortunately, I have been free recently and there are not too many important tasks, so the commander does not have to report on time, so it doesn’t matter even if he arrives late.

But that day she was still in a daze until noon... Having a wife who loves to act like a spoiled child really wears down one's will.

Later, the palace sent an order to summon her to an audience. Yu Qing didn't know what the order was, so she went to see the emperor on her own.

She didn't stay in the palace for long, and when she left, she felt a little complicated.

After returning home, she asked Xie Jing, "Have you said anything to His Majesty recently?"

Xie Jing said: "No."

Yu Qing said, "Your Majesty summoned me today to reward me according to my merits."

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xie Tingzhao began to ponder what benefits he could offer Yu Qing. To have reached this position, Yu Qing was undoubtedly a meritorious official… and with Xie Jing at his disposal, he couldn't afford to treat him unfairly.

But the Yu family was originally a prominent noble family. His father had a title and his mother had an imperial decree. Yu Qing was a high-ranking official and already held great power. Whether it was a reward of money or an official position, there was nothing more to be given... So he simply did not give anything else and gave Yu Qing a solemn and direct reward.

Xie Jing wondered, "Isn't this as he should be? Let him reward you."

He did hint at it to Xie Tingzhao, and it seemed that his brother must have taken it into consideration at the time, but that was just a reminder. Everything was what Yu Qing deserved.

Yu Qing pondered for a moment, then looked up at Xie Jing and said, "...You've never mentioned me to him, right? Actually, if..."

Xie Jing was stunned. He didn't expect her to suddenly talk about this.

Xie Jing said, "It's better not to tell him."

Yu Qing said: "Hmm?"

In fact, she had no intention of revealing anything yet, but she suddenly felt like asking. However, she had thought that Xie Jing might still want to tell his family... It had nothing to do with other things. After all, they were close relatives, and it would not be easy to keep it a secret.

She didn't really trust the emperor and the empress dowager, but she trusted Xie Jing and wanted to hear his opinion.

"He's the emperor now, and he's different than before," Xie Jing whispered. "People change after being an emperor for a long time. He's my brother now, and I don't know what he'll be like in the future. Who knows what will happen in ten or twenty years? When the late emperor was young, he was also very good to my mother and brother."

Yu Qing was very surprised. He hadn't expected Xie Jing to say this. After all, he and his brother had always had a good relationship. Seeing the slight disappointment in his expression, he realized that he had probably thought about this idea more than once.

She thought about it and understood.

In fact, Xie Jing was not suspicious or dissatisfied. In fact, he was very afraid of losing his trusted relatives.

He's always been pensive and pessimistic, constantly worried and anxious. If you don't ask, he might just keep dwelling on it. Perhaps it's because he's been bearing so much on his own for a long time.

Yu Qing's heart softened again, and she felt pity for Xie Jing, wanting only to comfort him. At the same time, she felt a little helpless. She really had to pay more attention to him from now on, otherwise he would always have a lot on his mind.

She said, "In fact, what His Majesty gave me was a red-lettered iron certificate."

Xie Jing was surprised. The incident with Marquis Zhongwu had just ended, and he had thought that he would never give it away so easily again. He had not expected Xie Tingzhao to be so generous.

Yu Qing said: "So your brother is okay, you don't need to worry so much."

Xie Jing was silent for a while, then said, "I need to think it over carefully. I'm afraid..."

Yu Qing understood it without him saying anything.

"Actually, I haven't thought about it yet," Yu Qing said, "but... maybe one day, this reward will be useful?"

She knew very well that there were too many unavoidable contradictions and dangers in this world.

However, after having Xie Jing, her defenses had opened up a little, and she gradually began to feel that many things might not be as bad as she had imagined. She used to be very tense and often felt very tired, but now she was beginning to accept the uncertainty of fate.

Especially with the golden medal of immunity from death in hand, it seems that you have more room for choice.

No one knows what will happen in a decade or two. Perhaps at some point, she'll make a different choice, but that will be the result of careful consideration... Until then, don't worry too much about the future; just let nature take its course.
