Chapter 33: On top, but not completely
Pei Yanli took out new bamboo strips from the medicine box.
Cheng Shuyi pretended to be calm and stood with his back to him.
Just a few scratches, as long as she applied the medicine quickly enough, the embarrassment wouldn't catch up with her.
"Have you taught the two children how to use an abacus?" Cheng Shuyi tried to find a topic to talk to Pei Yanli.
I pulled at my bellyband with both hands, hoping he didn't notice.
Did she buy a bellyband that is too small?
Why is it so bulging? My lower abdomen feels empty and I feel so insecure.
Pei Yanli was more than a head taller than her.
You need to bend down when applying medicine to her.
The two thin strings around her waist kept moving, and it was hard for him not to notice.
"Won't."
It was rare that there was something Pei Yanli couldn't do. "Let the master spank my palm more often. I was spanked a lot when I was young."
Hearing his frustrated tone, Cheng Shuyi inexplicably felt relieved.
The hardships that she had endured as a mother were finally felt by him as a father.
It feels a bit good!
"Anyway, I don't know how to use an abacus. You have to take responsibility for this lesson I've been teaching you."
Pei Yanli stared at her back intently and chuckled, "It sounds like you're gloating."
"Really?" Cheng Shuyi turned her head and unexpectedly met his raised gaze.
Both of them were shocked.
Cheng Shuyi quickly turned around and saw her picking up and putting down the medicine in the medicine box on the table. It was unknown what she was busy with.
"call--"
“What are you doing!”
Pei Yanli just blew lightly on her back, and Cheng Shuyi jumped away in fright.
Still looking at him warily.
She covered her bellyband in panic, her cheeks flushed, and her bright eyes were wet as she looked at him.
Exactly the same as six years ago.
Pei Yanli's heart was beating hard and his breath became hot.
He threw the bamboo strips in his hand onto the table and picked up her clothes.
"A few days ago, I consulted the royal physician, asking why I wanted to be close to you so much and why I was so thirsty for your intimacy."
Pei Yanli rolled up his sleeves and pointed to the place on his arm where she had bitten him.
"The royal physician said that this prince is addicted to you."
He unfolded the clothes in his hands, as if he was going to help her put them on.
He looked at her with a smile: "What do you think of what the imperial physician said?"
Addicted to her?
What kind of plot is this from a novel about a beautiful wife?
Cheng Shuyi wanted to laugh. Could someone who could give such a diagnosis be admitted to the Imperial Hospital?
This is bullshit!
"Nonsense!" She walked over to get the clothes. "You are the regent, you don't believe such words."
The moment she approached and reached out to take the clothes, Pei Yanli suddenly pulled her into his arms.
His long, strong arms were placed around her waist, holding her close to him.
"I believe it." Pei Yanli used a teasing tone to let her feel his reaction deeply. "Is this enough?"
Cheng Shuyi was so nervous that his heart skipped a beat and his whole body was stiff and he dared not move.
In fact, she doesn't reject it.
She is about to die, what's wrong with a man!
Besides, Pei Yanli was so handsome, and his abdominal muscles were so strong that they poked her.
The waist must be very strong too.
Cheng Shuyi had a lot of random thoughts, but finally gave up.
She couldn't bear to leave her two children behind, and if she added Pei Yanli, she was afraid that she would be even more reluctant to die.
Cheng Shuyi's nose felt strongly sour and his eyes filled with tears.
I gritted my teeth to prevent the tears from falling.
"Your Majesty..."
"I have already requested the engagement letter, which will be delivered to you tomorrow after passing the government office."
Pei Yanli struggled with his own willpower and took a lot of effort to force himself to let her go.
His Pei family is a centuries-old clan that attaches great importance to rules.
Pei Yanli is in a high position of power and omnipotence, and rules are ingrained in his bones.
That night with Cheng Shuyi six years ago, he couldn't control himself. It was the only accident in his life.
That's why when he saw Cheng Shuyi again, he pointed his sword at her and wanted to kill her.
It’s different now.
"I will let the two children recognize their ancestors as soon as possible, and I will also formally marry you into the palace." Pei Yanli looked serious.
Cheng Shuyi asked blankly, "Is she the principal concubine?"
Pei Yanli helped her put on her clothes, "Yes."
Cheng Shuyi still looked like she wasn't smart enough, how could she have gotten to the top so easily?
It doesn't feel real.
"Are you serious?" Cheng Shuyi still couldn't believe what he heard.
Pei Yanli tapped her forehead and said, "Once the engagement letter has been approved by the government, it will become an official document. I will not neglect the three letters and six ceremonies."
"This prince will have you marry into the palace with the most complete etiquette and the most formal marriage."
In the Great Sheng Dynasty, a marriage with thorough etiquette was the most important expression of respect.
The engagement letter, gift letter, and welcoming letter must all be filed with the government.
He would also follow the most complete procedures for the six ceremonies, leaving no room for criticism.
This is the best protection for her and her two children.
It can stop all the rumors outside.
"Oh..." Cheng Shuyi didn't realize what this meant at the moment, and just responded woodenly.
"So." Pei Yanli wrapped her clothes tightly, "In the next six months, don't provoke me like you did today."
He can't resist his lust even if he shows his back.
If anything else happens, he will break the rules.
"Half a year?"
Cheng Shuyi was puzzled. "What do you mean half a year?"
Pei Yanli said, "A royal wedding takes at least half a year from the time the engagement is received to the time the marriage is completed."
He bent down and smiled, his eyes level with hers, teasing her: "Why, Shuyi, are you so impatient to enter the bridal chamber with me?"
Cheng Shuyi no longer felt relaxed.
At this moment, her face looked heavy.
Half a year...
She was diagnosed in May and it is already July, so there is less than half a year left.
Realizing that it would take at least another half year to give his two children legitimate status, Cheng Shuyi immediately panicked.
She pulled open Pei Yanli's clothes and blurted out without thinking.
"If I can't wait and sleep with you right away, is there any way to move up the wedding?"
It was the first time that Pei Yanli had his clothes stripped off and someone said they wanted to sleep with him.
He is looking forward to it.
But reason told him no.
Pei Yanli grabbed her hand and said ambiguously: "After we get married, I hope Shuyi can treat me like this every day."
He was focused on the fact that she was going to sleep with him, and didn't think about her request to get married earlier.
He took his hand away, it seemed that this method was not working.
Cheng Shuyi was deflated.
