Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Do you still dare to bite me?
As soon as she finished speaking, the room fell silent. He Anting gave a half-smile, a smile that was inexplicably dignified. She slapped her head and thought to herself, "Oh no!"
It seems that Li Shishi didn't teach him this way. She should have pulled him over first, sat on his lap, then hooked her arms around his neck and acted coquettishly, being intimate with him for a while, and then said this kind of words.
She seemed to be ahead of schedule.
It’s all her fault. Oh my god, I was so nervous that I remembered the wrong order.
Jin Yao's eyes rolled, and she pursed her pink lips, thinking about how to save the situation.
"Okay." He Anting said lightly.
Jinyao was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do next. She forgot everything Li Shishi said.
He Anting was about to turn around and said, "Then I won't disturb you. I'll go to the study to sleep first." After saying that, he actually left.
The room suddenly felt empty. She tugged at her clothes, and a strong sense of loneliness surged over her.
She screwed up again.
Jinyao slumped in the armchair, sighing from afar, why not just go and apologize obediently.
It must be my fault for angering him yesterday and adding fuel to the fire today.
She stood there for only a quarter of an hour before becoming listless again.
She asked Yunqiao to go to the kitchen to cook a bowl of nourishing soup. She put on her cloak and went to the study with the soup in her hand.
After wandering outside the study for a while, with the lights still on, she cleared her throat and asked, "Husband? Are you asleep?"
"No." A low voice sounded from inside the house.
Jinyao quickly went up the stairs: "I, I cooked a bowl of soup, my husband, please drink it before going to sleep."
There was silence in the room for a while, which made Jinyao tremble with fear for a long time. Then a voice came out: "Come in."
Jinyao was delighted and opened the door and went in.
He Anting was wearing a white nightgown, his hair still damp. He sat at the desk, writing and drawing with a brush in his hand. His eyebrows and eyes were handsome, and under the lights, candlelight and moonlight, he looked like an immortal from the Jade Terrace.
Jinyao had not yet taken off her clothes, and her cloak was blown up, making the snow-white hair tremble faintly.
She placed the soup on the table and leaned forward deliberately, "What is my husband doing?"
"Approving documents."
Oh, well, it seems my plan to ask him to teach me has failed.
Jin Yao simply gave up and said, "Husband, I'm here to apologize to you."
He Anting paused his pen when he heard this and raised his head: "Oh? Why are you apologizing?" He said this with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
"Yesterday I violated my husband's taboo and damaged his dignity, and today..." She hesitated to speak, lowered her head and twisted her hands, her hair hanging down, looking gentle and innocent.
He Anting pretended to be surprised: "Who taught you to be like that today?"
Jin Yao was extremely embarrassed: "How did my husband know?"
This little thing is very honest. There is no way he would behave in such a roundabout way, such as seduction and rejection. There must be someone instigating him.
Jin Yao spoke honestly, and He Anting's face looked unhappy. Sure enough, he was right to ask Jin Yao to stay away from Li Shishi.
"Come here." He opened his arms, and Jinyao sat on them skillfully, nestling into his arms.
The faint cold fragrance enveloped her, giving her an unprecedented sense of security.
"What did Master Li tell you? Don't hide it."
Under He Anting's coercion, Jin Yao naturally told everything honestly. He Anting nodded and said, "Sometimes you don't have to listen to everything she says. Yao Yao should make her own judgment."
"As for what happened yesterday, I am indeed angry."
Jin Yao became nervous when she heard this.
"However, if you want me to forgive you, it depends on your sincerity."
Jinyao agreed quickly: "As long as my husband can calm down, I am willing to do anything."
He Anting's eyes were deep: "Yaoyao, you can't regret it."
Jin Yao felt that there was something wrong with his words, but the words had already been spoken, so she nodded hesitantly: "No regrets."
He Anting kissed her lips as a reward: "Yaoyao is very well behaved."
Her lipstick was rubbed on He Anting's lips, spreading out and adding a touch of color to his handsome face.
Her hands couldn't help but grab his collar, and she couldn't help licking her lips, and she kissed his Adam's apple without any instruction.
"Brother Lanjun." She called him in a vague and delicate voice.
He Anting bent his neck again and rubbed her soft lips, and the sweet breath immediately filled his nostrils.
He Anting put his arm around her waist, giving her a place to rest her waist.
Jinyao soon regretted her bold words.
It was only later that she realized that He Anting was clearly setting a trap for her, waiting for her to jump in.
Sure enough, he didn't hear what she said before. The pajamas were just given to her by Li Shishi. She actually liked them very much. They were embroidered with pearls, but they were torn into several pieces.
But before she could accuse him or ask him to pay compensation, she fell asleep.
She had a dream. She dreamed about the time when they were not married yet. At that time, He Anting was very fierce and scolded her every time he saw her. The scene in the dream was when she accidentally encountered an assassin in Fayun Temple.
The assassin's sword was across his neck.
He said that it was none of his business whether he lived or died, and if they wanted to kill him, then kill him immediately.
Jinyao felt very sad and heartbroken, and her chest ached, much more than her reaction at that time.
Tears streamed down her cheeks, and she looked at He Anting with grievance, hoping that he could save her.
But the He Anting in the dream was just as cold, ruthless, calm and stern as before marriage. There was no gentleness in his eyes that made her feel graceful, and his face, as sharp as a knife, was cold and silent.
Jinyao's tears flowed even more violently.
Of course, she was rescued in the end. The moment the assassin fell to the ground, anger rose in her chest. Now her courage had been boosted by him, so she walked up to He Anting, tiptoed and bit his Adam's apple, then let out a sigh of relief.
At the end, he added: "You are really annoying."
Then she turned and walked away, feeling a little refreshed as she walked.
As a result, He Anting stopped her with a Shura-like look on his face. Jin Yao thought he was going to take revenge on her, and she hugged her shoulders with a trembling heart. As a result, He Anting took out a big sweet potato from somewhere and forced her to eat it, saying that she was not allowed to go back until she finished eating it.
Jinyao had no choice but to hold the huge sweet potato and chew it with tears in her eyes. Jinyao took a bite and found it astringent, hard and raw. It was really disgusting.
"Do you still dare to bite me?" He Anting said coldly with his arms folded.
Jinyao squatted beside the red pillar of the temple, like a prisoner being interrogated with his head in his hands, and said in a muffled voice: "I won't dare anymore." Her cheeks were still stuffed with food as she spoke, and her two hands were holding a half-eaten and still large raw sweet potato, looking very honest.
Then Jinyao was awakened by the shock. The taste of sweet potato seemed to still linger in her mouth, causing her cheeks to hurt from chewing it.
She frowned and touched her cheek, groped He Anting, raised her head and bit him, so disgusting.
He Anting frowned, held her in his arms again, his nose against her cheek, and they both fell asleep again.
The next morning, Jin Yao remembered the dream she had last night and stared at He Anting. He Anting felt her gaze and leaned over to kiss her swollen lips while changing clothes: "Yao Yao, your eyes are so reluctant that I don't want to go to court."
Jin Yao covered her eyes and spoke in a muffled voice, her voice still a little hoarse: "I'm not reluctant to leave."
After she finished speaking, she covered her face, as if she didn't want to face him. After a while, her voice came out from under the quilt: "Do you still remember Fayun Temple?"
He Anting was adjusting his collar and asked casually, "Well, what's wrong?"
"Did you really want to kill me then?"
He Anting stopped where he was when he heard this.
His memory was awakened, and he suddenly remembered that she was captured by assassins in Fayun Temple, and he did say some...uncomfortable words.
"Why did you suddenly think of this?" He Anting asked with a frown.
"Nothing, just asking." Jin Yao still didn't want to show up.
He Anting comforted her: "No, Yaoyao and I have no grudges against each other, why would I kill you?"
Jin Yao really wanted to refute, he looked like a cold bystander at that time, but she swallowed her words back. Maybe He Anting said that just to delay the assassin.
"Oh..." she responded slowly.
"Don't overthink it, it's all in the past." He Anting leaned over and lifted her quilt, looked at her flushed cheeks, and kissed her, "I'm going to court."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
Jin Yao struggled to sit up, hissed, and lay down again. He was arrogant and domineering. Jin Yao felt both resentful and dependent on him in her heart. Sometimes she thought he was very good, and sometimes she felt he was not considerate enough.
Why think so much? They are together because of the engagement anyway.
Jinyao returned to the house from the study. Yunqiao placed the meal on the table. While eating, she was thinking about going to see Miss Li again today. She had reminded herself yesterday to give feedback today.
But after dinner, the county lady came to see her and said that the Xian'an Prince and his family would come to Beijing in two months and would hold a banquet at home, and asked Jinyao to go there in advance and learn from them.
"The rules of the Xian'an County Prince's Mansion are very strict. If you behave like this, don't let the princess scold you and make you cry." The county lady warned her, "After all, you are my new bride in the He Mansion. I don't want you to lose face for me."
Jinyao already understood that she had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and quickly nodded in agreement.
He Anting has been busy enough. He has been going out early and coming back late these two days, and he also has to deal with the imperial inspection matters. No matter how big the banquet is, the county lady has to arrange it.
Jin Yao had only heard about the Xian'an County Prince's Mansion from other people, and she felt a little nervous all of a sudden.
Jinyao was dazzled by all the shopping she had done, and when she took a break she realized it was already evening.
She rested for a while and then went to Miss Li.
Only Qiuyue was standing at the door. Jingyao called out, "Qiuyue, where is your daughter?"
Qiuyue raised her head, her face slightly red, and stammered: "The girl, the girl is inside."
"Qiuyue, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so red?" Jin Yao asked curiously.
As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened.
The person who came out was not Li Shishi, but a dignified man with a red lip print on his lips. His clothes were neat and his hair was a little messy, but his eyes were bright.
Jin Yao was startled and quickly supported Yun Qiao: "Who are you? What did you do to Miss Li?"
Xiao Zongqi looked at her with great interest: "Are you Lan Jun's new wife? I thought Lan Jun would be alone for the rest of her life, but I didn't expect you to find her."
I? Jinyao caught the word sharply and her eyes widened in shock: "You, you are..."
Xiao Zongqi laughed heartily, and Li Shishi's lazy voice came out: "What are you laughing at?"
After saying this, she walked out gracefully.
"Yaoyao, you're here." Li Shishi said in no surprise, and then pushed Xiao Zongqi, "You should go."
Xiao Zongqi tutted his words, and as if no one was around, he hooked his arm around her waist and whispered, "You're driving me away right after I've just fed you, you little heartless bastard."
Li Shishi glanced at Jinyao, whose face was almost as red as a lantern, and pointed a finger at Xiao Zongqi's mouth: "If Zonglang leads Master He's wife astray, Master He will be angry."
Xiao Zongqi chuckled and said, "Then I'll leave and come back tomorrow night."
Jin Yao watched Xiao Zongqi turn around and leave, covering her mouth in shock and unable to speak: "You, your husband is actually... then you are not..."
Li Shishi raised her eyebrows and said, "Not really. I'm just a commoner now."
Jin Yao looked at her half-exposed body, her clothes wide open, and thinking of that noble man, she felt embarrassed to look directly at him. She said sincerely, "You are so amazing."
"How is it? Was what I taught you yesterday useful?" Li Shishi asked while leaning against the door.
Jinyao hesitated to speak, not wanting to say it directly: "Uh, a little bit."
Li Shishi frowned: "Impossible, are you not following my method?"
"Maybe... maybe this method is not very suitable for me." She admitted honestly.
Li Shishi felt quite disappointed.
…
Time passed quickly, and two months later, it was the end of autumn and the beginning of winter. The weather was getting colder, and snowflakes were floating sporadically in the sky. The spring trees in the yard had withered and were covered with a thin layer of snow.
Jinyao wrapped herself in a thick padded jacket, a rabbit fur scarf around her neck, and a wide jacket made of warm and soft brocade. She sat behind the desk and carefully outlined the problematic parts in the account book.
Not long after, she put down her pen and leaned back. Her originally flat belly bulged out completely and looked round and plump.
The baby in her belly is already six months old. Her figure has become plumper, but she is still as pretty as ever. Instead, she looks very voluptuous. A few days ago, she found that her old clothes could no longer fit her. She was very frustrated and decided to eat less for dinner to control her figure.
As a result, when He Anting learned about it, he immediately asked someone to replace all the clothes, saying that this way they would all be able to wear and he wouldn't have to suffer.
Jinyao was speechless and choked up. Moreover, she felt uncomfortable after eating less, so she gave up the idea.
"Madam, Cui is here again." Yun Qiao entered the room, a look of gloom on her face. "This is the third time this month. Zong Ge'er failed the autumn examination and is in debt from gambling. He has gambled away most of Master Jing's wealth. Even so, Cui is closer to the county lady. Why is she asking for money even though she hasn't returned? I think she thinks you're easy to bully."
Jinyao only gave it to her once, and then never gave it to her again: "Ignore him, just say I'm sick and can't see anyone."
Since her belly started to swell, she hasn't left the house, so this reason makes sense.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Cui stamped her feet and waited in front of the side door, secretly spitting in her heart. She had originally planned to send her daughter to He Anting, but who would have thought that she would not only fail to steal the chicken but also lose the rice. His son was caught cheating in the autumn examination by the Ministry of Revenue and was thrown into jail on the spot.
She pleaded with the county lady, but she coldly said, "You have evil intentions. You want to send your daughter to Ting'er. You have violated Ting'er's taboo. Go back. Your son can only blame himself for not being able to control himself."
Cui was heartbroken and returned home in a daze.
Yunqiao came to the side door, and Cui forced a smile again. Yunqiao was annoyed: "Our Madam is ill. It's freezing cold, so it's not convenient for her to come out and see people. Madam, please go back quickly. She has already warned us last time. If Zong Ge'er does it again, she can't help. You'd better take care of yourself."
As the door closed, Cui was almost hit on the nose.
She was almost mad with anger. This little bitch was really ungrateful just because she had a good life.
At the entrance of the alley, a carriage stopped there. Xue Ningzhen lifted the curtain and shouted at Cui who was staggering and spitting.
"Who are you?" Cui looked at her warily.
"I can save you and your son, but you have to do something for me." Xue Ningzhen said with a smile.
Cui's eyes lit up: "Your Excellency, please feel free to speak."
On the day when the snow stopped, Prince Xian'an's carriage stopped in front of the He Mansion. The servants swept the snow in the yard. Jin Yao, the county lady, and He Qingwan waited in front of the mansion.
A graceful and elegant woman came down from the carriage. She was wearing an ochre-colored double-breasted robe with cloud patterns. Her hair was combed into a high bun. Her eyes were bright and her fierceness was evident.
The county lady greeted him excitedly: "Mother."
The Princess patted her hands, and He Qingwan also came over and hugged her arm: "Grandma, Wanwan hasn't seen you for a long time."
The family was affectionate and affectionate, and Jinyao stood quietly aside until the Princess of the County looked over and examined her: "Jing."
Jin Yao's heart skipped a beat and she felt a little dazed. She had always used the surname He to refer to others, and everyone called her Madam He or Jing. It had been a long time since anyone had called her that.
She didn't know why, but felt a little uneasy: "I've met my grandmother."
The Princess of the County laughed, her meaning unclear: "I don't deserve it. If you are pregnant, there is no need to come out to welcome the baby. The child is six months old."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's expression changed slightly.
To outsiders, Jinyao had always said that the baby in her belly was three months old. When the time came, they tried to cover it up by saying it was a premature birth, and delayed the full moon celebration so that no one would notice after the baby was born.
But he never expected that the Princess could accurately tell the month of her child's birth.
