Chapter 109 The Marquis and I, a clean slate
Furong smiled, took her hand and pulled her aside.
"I came early today and happened to see you and your husband..." Furong looked at Yuzhu, looking as if she had good intentions for her. "Does your husband plan to take you as his concubine?"
It’s no wonder Furong said that. The scene she saw in the morning really looked like flirting between a man and a woman.
She couldn't help but think of what Fu Xian had said before, and couldn't help but think about it more.
Yuzhu: “…”
She just put a piece of clothing on the Marquis. Isn't this what a maid should do? How did it come to the point of taking her in?
Is it that the reputation of the Marquis as a homosexual is not spread widely enough?
Seriously…
If the Marquis were a man, she would have climbed into his bed eight hundred years ago.
How could she be asked such a question here?
Yuzhu was puzzled and asked, "What does aunt mean by this? Yuzhu didn't understand..."
Furong still had a polite smile on her face: "Miss Yuzhu, there is no need to pretend to be confused with me. I will ask you this quietly to see if you and your husband can..."
Having said this, Furong paused, her eyes falling on Yuzhu's face, "If the man is in love and I am interested, I might as well tell the princess about it early and see if I can improve your status."
Yuzhu couldn't hold it in any longer: "...My Lord and I are innocent."
Are you kidding? What are you lifting?
Raise her to be a concubine and let her lie in bed with the Marquis all night, staring at each other?
She also wanted to save enough money to find a handsome man to marry and live a happy life under the moonlight!
I don’t want to be a nun!
The smile in Furong's eyes seemed more genuine, "Really?"
Yuzhu: "It's more real than real gold!"
Yuzhu answered quickly and sincerely, fearing that if she was a second late, she would be promoted to the marquis' concubine.
Furong smiled and took her hand, saying, "Since you have no interest in your husband, you should keep some distance from me in the future. After all, the relationship between men and women is very important. If someone with ulterior motives sees you and ruins your reputation, you'll have a lot to cry about in the future."
Yuzhu: “…”
She knew the Marquis's secret and never treated her as a man.
Maybe... it's a little too intimate?
But Yuzhu disagreed with the idea that it would ruin one's reputation.
The Marquis once said that women should not belittle themselves.
The Marquis also said that a woman's chastity is never hidden under her skirt.
The Marquis had warned her that no matter what happened, life was the most important thing.
Yuzhu looked at Furong and asked, "But I am the Marquis's maid. Serving the Marquis is my duty. How can I keep my distance?"
Furong: "For example, this morning, when you were helping the Prince Consort put on his cloak, you should have stepped aside properly instead of making eye contact or playing around with him."
Yuzhu: “…”
It was obvious that the Marquis was deliberately doing something bad and messed up her hair.
"Okay, I said I'd been looking for you for a long time and couldn't find you. So you two came here to have some free time!"
Xiao Ning put one hand on his waist and pointed at the two of them with a smile.
Shang Xi walked out from behind her, and the two stood side by side, one as scorching as the morning sun, the other as bright as the full moon, their elegance shining on each other, unexpectedly harmonious.
Furong bowed to the two of them, then smiled and replied, "I was just talking to Miss Yuzhu for a few words, how could it have taken so long? Your Highness always exaggerates when he speaks."
In the evening, the entire family of the Marquis' Mansion, led by the new Marquis of Jingyuan and his wife, completed the ceremony of worshiping the gods.
Afterwards, they went to light a stick of incense at the old marquis's spirit tablet, and the whole family had dinner together before going their separate ways.
It's very late.
Xiao Ning asked Shang Xi: "Princess, will you go back tonight?"
Knowing Shang Xi was feeling uncomfortable, Furong spoke first and set up the ladder: "It's getting late. I'm afraid curfew will hit before we even reach the Princess's Mansion. Your Highness, why don't you stay here for the night..."
Furong looked at Shang Xi, and Xiao Ning also looked at Shang Xi.
Shang Xi glanced at Furong and looked at Xiao Ning: "...Okay."
Xiao Ning said: "Okay, then you can stay in the main room, and I will sleep in the side room."
No, why do you sleep in the side room?
If you sleep in the side room, then what's the point of her bothering His Highness to stay?
Furong smiled and spoke again, "Isn't this inappropriate? When you first came to the Marquis' Mansion, Your Highness and the Prince Consort lived together. It doesn't make sense for them to live in separate rooms now... If others saw this, it would be inappropriate..."
Xiao Ning thought about it and agreed.
She looked at Shang Xi and asked, "Princess, do you mind?"
After all, it was impossible for her to sleep on the floor in this weather; it was too cold.
Shang Xi: “…”
His cold gaze moved around Furong, then fell on Xiao Ning's face, and said lightly: "I don't mind."
Furong's scalp tingled slightly when she saw Shang Xi's look.
She knew that His Highness was blaming her for being nosy.
But she was also doing this for His Highness. Seeing His Highness always sad alone, she felt uncomfortable too.
If you don't dare to confess or touch, then it's good to take a few more glances.
She could see that even if His Highness did nothing and just quietly looked at the Prince Consort, he would be very happy.
Because at that time, he was exceptionally peaceful, with stars twinkling in his eyes.
After washing up and returning to the room, the maid added some charcoal to the charcoal basin, then closed the door and left.
Only Xiao Ning and his partner were left in the room.
Xiao Ning pulled back the quilt and got on the bed first. Shang Xi looked at Xiao Ning sitting on the bed and couldn't help blushing.
There is a heater in the quilt, it is warm and comfortable.
Xiao Ning sighed comfortingly and turned to look at Shang Xi, only to see him standing by the table with cheeks as red as if he had put on rouge.
The corners of his lips were slightly pursed, and he seemed a little restrained.
Xiao Ning: “…”
What is the princess so reserved about?
They slept in the same bed more than once.
Xiao Ning waved towards Shang Xi, "Princess, please come up quickly. It's so cold down there..."
Shang Xi: “…”
Hidden in his sleeves, he pinched his palms a few times, but still couldn't stop his pounding heart...
Xiao Yanqing's invitation made his cheeks even redder. He frowned, pretending to be calm, and walked to the bed.
Xiao Ning leaned against the head of the bed and looked at him with a smile.
Being stared at like that, Shang Xi panicked and when he went to get on the bed, he missed a step and fell onto Xiao Ning.
He overpowered her.
She supported him.
His body was suspended in the air, so close to hers that their breaths mingled.
The person under him had a lazy expression, with a rogue smile on the corner of his lips.
Her hands rested on his waist, her beautiful eyes curved slightly, a smile in her eyes, and her voice rose: "Your Highness, what are you doing? Are you throwing yourself into my arms?"
Even though he knew it was a joke, he couldn't help but feel his heart beating faster.
They were so close at this moment, so close that if he leaned over slightly, he could kiss her soft lips.
Shang Xi rolled to the inside in a state of near dejection, hugged himself with the quilt and curled up.
Xiao Ning was startled by his sudden action.
I quickly stood up and went to see him, "What's wrong? Where did you bump into something?"
Shang Xi grabbed the quilt tightly, "No, nothing..."
Xiao Ning frowned and pulled the quilt, "You don't look like you're alright, what's wrong? Let me see..."
