When An Honghan applied the medicinal wine to her, he controlled the pressure very well, making Xi Xizhi squint her eyes in enjoyment.
On the contrary, she thought to herself, "What's going on? Why do I always think of a massage when An Honghan rubs and kneads me?"
But... it feels so good.
Just as Xi Xizhi was about to close her eyes, she suddenly remembered what had happened that morning and stammered, "You wouldn't really promise me to Duan Yufei, would you?"
She knew that in ancient times, a woman's chastity was extremely important.
In this situation, Xi Xizhi usually has no other choice but to marry Duan Yufei.
It would have been better if Xi Xizhi hadn't brought it up, because the moment she did, An Honghan's expression changed immediately, and he rubbed Xi Xizhi's wound hard, saying, "He's dreaming."
He himself is reluctant to harm the child, so to expect him to give the child away is just wishful thinking.
Xi Xizhi immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Duan Yufei was indeed handsome and powerful, but as a potential spouse, he was out of the question.
Putting aside the fact that Xi Xizhi had no intention of marrying anyone, even if she were to get married, she wouldn't want to marry a man more handsome than herself. Otherwise, wouldn't she be tormented by that stunningly handsome face every day? She would eventually die of inferiority.
"Or is it that you've taken a fancy to Duan Yufei? And want me to beg you to marry him?" An Honghan's tone was even colder.
Xi Xizhi felt her scalp tingling with cold. "No, please don't do that."
She muttered to herself, "Marrying you would be better than marrying Duan Yufei."
She thought that An Honghan couldn't possibly hear such a low voice, but the man behind her stiffened at those words, and a small smile slowly appeared on his lips.
yes!
If she can marry Duan Yufei, why can't she marry him?
An idea gradually took shape in my mind, and I felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.
An Honghan's movements as he rubbed the medicinal wine on Xi Xizhi became even gentler, eventually turning into a soft caress.
A pet you own should belong to you wholeheartedly and completely.
"You...you don't doubt my innocence?" Xi Xizhi clearly saw the gazes of the ministers around her at that time. Anyone who saw that scene would probably have all sorts of wild thoughts. Doesn't An Honghan mind?
"Innocence?" An Honghan seemed to have thought of something, and the smile on his lips widened even more, but unfortunately Xi Xizhi had her back to him and didn't see it at all.
An Honghan gently pinched Xi Xizhi's inner thigh with his fingers. "What innocence can a child who hasn't fully developed have?"
His gaze swept over Xi Xizhi's inner thighs a few times, as if reminding her that he was looking at her completely naked.
Startled by the other party's blunt gaze, Xi Xizhi scrambled to her feet and moved away from An Honghan as quickly as possible.
Damn it!
Is this considered flirting?
Is it flirting?
The lingering warmth of An Honghan's fingers still lingered on her inner thighs, making Xi Xi's face turn as red as an egg.
"The medicated wine isn't finished yet, come here." An Honghan chuckled softly. His anger from before had completely vanished after seeing Xi Xizhi's adorable expression.
Xi Xi huffed twice in annoyance, but eventually walked over and lay down on An Honghan's lap, letting him apply the medicine to her.
I thought to myself, we've been completely honest with each other for so long, why are you being so sentimental now!
Besides, she's an animal! She's his pet!
What's wrong with an owner applying medicine to their pet?
When applying the medicine, An Honghan was very careful and gentle, waiting for the medicinal wine to seep into each area before rubbing the next.
After An Honghan finished treating Xi Xizhi's injuries, it was almost noon, so they had breakfast and lunch together.
Whether she was being overly sensitive or not, Xi Xizhi felt that the way the palace maids and eunuchs around her were looking at her had changed, and they all seemed strange.
In such a short time, does the entire palace already know what happened this morning?
In fact, Xi Xizhi was wrong. Not only did people in the palace know about it, but even those with sources outside the palace knew about it.
Under the strange looks from all sides, Xi Xizhi found her meals tasteless and difficult to swallow.
She thought that An Honghan would go to handle government affairs after having lunch with her, but unexpectedly, An Honghan stayed by her side the whole time.
Seeing An Honghan sitting idly in a chair, lost in thought, occasionally glancing at her, Xi Xizhi suddenly felt immense pressure!
Is An Honghan particularly free?
However, judging from what happened today, Xi Xizhi knew that An Honghan would definitely not be idle, so why did he stay here and not leave?
"Well... if you're busy, you don't have to keep me company." Xi Xizhi held the calligraphy brush in her hand, her hand trembling as she wrote.
"I should indeed be very busy, but I don't want to be busy right now." The fact that Xi Xizhi and Duan Yufei were lying naked in the same bed is probably already known to all the officials in the court.
Given the nature of those ministers, they're probably squatting outside the Imperial Study, waiting to discuss this matter.
Before he could come up with a solution, An Honghan didn't want to deal with those old fogies or waste his breath on them. All they wanted to talk about was Duan Yufei's marriage proposal...
"To soothe your wounded heart, it is only natural for me, as your master, to spend some time with you."
When An Honghan said this in a serious tone, Xi Xizhi lost her grip on the brush and accidentally poked a large ink dot onto the clean white paper.
Whose heart is wounded?
Okay, there was a little bit, but it was just pure anger.
"How many words have you written? If you don't pass, there won't be any dinner for you tonight." An Honghan's eyes were unreadable.
Xi Xizhi threw away the papers on the table and picked up the brush again. "Isn't this your real purpose? To supervise her calligraphy practice?"
For two consecutive days, An Honghan did not attend the morning court session, nor did he go to the Imperial Study to handle government affairs.
No one dared to urge An Honghan, but that didn't mean they dared not urge the servants who served him.
