Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Why does Yaoyao always reject me?
So do we have to mention shameful things?
Jin Yao wanted to cover his mouth. Her face was cold and icy. "Remember, you said I was shameless."
He Anting's smile froze, and his expression turned serious: "This should be considered a compliment."
Jinyao snorted. Pretending to be stupid, huh? She can do that too.
But she asked the question that had been on her mind all along: "You were clearly avoiding me and hated me so much, so why did you sneak into my house? Did you think I was plotting against you? Did you want to hit me?"
He Anting was stunned. Does he hate her?
He admitted that he had initially judged her by her appearance, but he was still irresistibly attracted to her.
"Of course not. Why do you think I hit you?" He Anting was confused.
Jin Yao hesitated for a moment and said that she had heard what Qing Wu said.
He Anting understood immediately: "So you were afraid that I would beat you, so you ran back secretly that time."
Jinyao nodded.
He Anting's face suddenly turned dark.
Qing Wu outside suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. He touched it and felt something was wrong.
He Anting pinched Jinyao's face with a cold expression: "You like to think too much, Yaoyao."
Jinyao felt a little aggrieved. It was obviously because he was too harsh.
"You don't want to hit me, so what do you mean?" Jin Yao looked at him, her pure eyes full of dependence and hope.
He Anting raised the corner of his lips: "I am..."
Jinyao's heart was in suspense, and she couldn't help feeling nervous. Would he say that?
"I like you."
These three words, as light as a feather, made Jinyao's breath catch and her whole body became hot.
He Anting was a little reluctant to say it at first, but after saying it once, he felt that it was no big deal.
"I like Yaoyaocai like that."
Jinyao buried herself in his arms, and said quickly in a muffled voice: "I like you, too."
"Say it again." He Anting whispered.
Jin Yao said it again.
He Anting stood up, and Jin Yao was immediately lifted up in mid-air. Her first reaction was, "Am I very heavy?"
"It's not heavy, very light." He Anting didn't dare to weigh her. He carried her steadily to the couch, put her on the bed, and looked down at her, his eyes full of desire.
"Take it off."
Jinyao hunched her shoulders and said, "My husband, it's cold."
"There's a fire under the floor in the house, and I'm having wild thoughts. I need to be punished."
Another punishment. If he wanted to fight with her, he should just say it directly. He always found various excuses. Jinyao found that he was really stubborn to some extent.
She pouted and was reluctant. She was still a little bit concealed in her actions. He Anting lowered his eyes and said, "Why hide it? It's not like you haven't seen it before."
"My...belly is a little ugly, please don't look at it." As a woman who loves beauty very much, Jin Yao feels that her big belly does not look good, so she avoids looking at him frankly.
He Anting frowned: "Is this the reason why you don't let me help you bathe?"
Jinyao hummed guiltily.
Upon hearing this, He Anting took her hand away and leaned over to give her a gentle kiss.
Jinyao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a faint itching and numbness spread to her limbs. He Anting looked up at her and said, "She's not ugly, she's very beautiful."
The child in her belly was an accident, and he cared more about his wife than his offspring.
"Yaoyao is the apple of my eye."
The words fell on Jinyao's heart, and it felt like she was burned for a moment. The warmth was like a raging fire that was about to burn her to ashes.
At this moment, her eyes felt a little hot, and countless words were stuck on her tongue, unable to be uttered.
The indoor heating was burning hot, the heat was rising in the gauze tent, and sticky beads of sweat were colliding. When He Anting wanted to lie down, he found that his back was full of injuries and he couldn't lie down.
Jin Yao tried to hold back her smile as she looked at his solemn face. He Anting seemed to have noticed something and looked at her leisurely.
Then, Jin Yao was forced to kneel on his knees, closed her eyes tremblingly, and a kiss as light as a butterfly fell on her eyelids.
He held her cheeks in his palms and kissed her intensively, not leaving out any part of her body. Jin Yao didn't dare to wrap her arms around him, so she couldn't help but hold onto his chest.
She is very delicate now, and He Anting cannot touch her, but a little punishment is still acceptable.
He raised his hands swiftly, and the hands holding the pen and turning the pages of the book fanned down.
Jin Yao stared at him in fear, her watery eyes dripping with dewdrops, so beautiful that it was beyond description.
She thought he was just having another seizure, tying and stopping, back and forth many times.
She was very clumsy and couldn't avoid it.
In the end, she shed two tears weakly and let him do whatever he wanted.
After a long time, Jin Yao took the ointment and applied it to the man with his back to her, complaining, "I told you to be quiet for a while, be quiet for a while, look, the wound has opened up."
He Anting raised his head and let out a deep breath: "It will be fine in two days."
Jin Yao still held a grudge, and she angrily scooped up a fingertip of white ointment and pressed it hard on one of his wounds. However, she chose an area that did not leave any flesh broken, just a deep mark.
He Anting hissed, his voice hoarse: "Itchy again?"
The sight of him with his bare upper body and his hoarse voice inexplicably made one's legs go weak.
"You are itchy." She said with a cold face.
"You are so annoying. Who allowed you to... do that?" Jin Yao was still angry. She felt her buttocks were burning, sore and numb. It hurt to sit, so she could only sit on her knees.
"Yaoyao, don't you like it?" He Anting smiled softly.
Like your head, Jinyao pressed it twice in anger, but He Anting was immersed in it: "Yuxi Runxie, Yaoyao obviously likes it very much."
Jin Yao wanted to find a hole to crawl into: "Stop talking."
He Anting turned his head. Jin Yao didn't want him to see her red face and tease her, so she grabbed something and threw it at his face.
When I threw it over, I realized it was her underwear.
The fragrance covered her face. He Anting picked up the small dress with his fingers and looked at her deeply, then clenched it, holding it in his own hand and not giving it to her.
"You, you give it to me." Jin Yao wanted to snatch it.
But she couldn't find it at all, so Jinyao got anxious: "Give it to me, I have to go out later, I still have to go see Miss Li."
"I'm not stopping you."
Seeing that he was so shameless, Jinyao refused to give it to her and bit her lip unwillingly.
Fortunately, the weather was cold and she was wearing thick clothes. When she was wrapped in a cloak, nothing could be seen.
Jin Yao didn't want to pay attention to him, snorted coldly and walked out of the house.
But that area is sensitive and fragile, and she still feels a little uncomfortable without wearing small clothes.
Arriving at Begonia Garden, Jinyao noticed that there were suddenly many more guards outside the garden. She entered the garden and found the maids and servants inside looked unfamiliar. She guessed that they must be the people sent to protect her.
She pushed the door open and saw Xiao Zongqi sitting by the bed, whispering something.
"Your Majesty." She was graceful and elegant.
"Mrs. He." Xiao Zongqi nodded.
A weak, hoarse voice came from the bed: "Is that Yaoyao?"
Jin Yao couldn't help but step forward: "Miss Li, are you feeling better?"
Xiao Zongqi answered for her: "She's safe. Fortunately, no vital parts were injured, and you discovered her in time. She also lost a lot of blood."
"I'm glad everyone is okay."
"Where is Lord He?" Xiao Zongyan asked knowingly.
"He was whipped and is resting in the house."
Xiao Zongyan hummed, "I'll ask the Imperial Hospital to send him some medicine for his wounds."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xiao Zongqi added, "I intend to clear Shishi's identity after her injury heals and make her the empress. Madam He, you are a meritorious official who saved the emperor. Otherwise, the empress and I would be separated forever. I want to reward you."
Jin Yao was so flattered that she stuttered, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
But Xiao Zongqi did not say what reward he would give her.
Jinyao sat for a while and then left, leaving the two of them in the room. She walked hurriedly, her cheeks flushed with excitement.
He Anting was wearing a coat and reviewing documents and account books at his desk.
"Husband."
Her voice was soft and sweet, rising and rising, and her excitement could be heard just from the ending tone.
He Anting's eyebrows were happy. He raised his head and saw that she was walking faster, so he quickly advised her: "Slow down."
Jinyao slowed down her pace and said, "I just saw the emperor."
Are you so happy to see another man? He Anting's face was not very good.
"Do you know what he said?" Looking at his wife's happy expression, He Anting said, "I don't know."
"The emperor said he would make Miss Li his queen, and he also said he would reward me."
This was within He Anting's expectations. Jin Yao sat skillfully in his arms and said, "But the emperor didn't say what reward he would give me. What do you think, my husband? Is it gold, silver, or rare treasures?"
He Anting knew that his wife was a money-grubber and loved things like jewelry, hairpins and rings.
“Both.”
"Really?" She was a little shocked, like a little bumpkin.
"Of course." The wife was naive and thought that the reward was just some gold, silver and treasures.
"Husband, does your back hurt?" Jin Yao was excited but still concerned about his injury.
"Don't worry, it doesn't hurt anymore." He said calmly.
Qing Wu reported from outside the house: "Master, the young master is here to visit."
He Anting knew what Qi Yue was here for. He patted her soft buttocks and said, "I'm going to take care of my official business first and will be back later."
"good."
…
When the maid was arrested yesterday, she was immediately sent to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation. However, on the way to the Ministry of Justice, she committed suicide by biting the poison hidden in her teeth.
When Xiao Zongqi found out, he got angry, which was rare.
He Anting sat at the bottom, wearing a robe, with an expected look on his face: "The current plan is to lure the snake out of its hole."
"Everyone in the court now thinks that my uncle is disliked by His Majesty. Tomorrow, impeachment memorials, led by the Censorate, will pour into the court. I wonder what His Majesty's plans are."
"I plan to clear Shishi's grievances first." Xiao Zongqi said solemnly. He Anting didn't react much when he heard it.
Li was originally from an honest family, but her family was framed and she had no choice but to enter a brothel. Xiao Zongqi planned to restore her identity as a good family girl first.
Qi Yue glanced at He Anting and said, "Those old men can't sit still anymore."
Xiao Zongqi asked the question he had been curious about for a long time: "The elder cabinet member once firmly opposed my making Li my empress, so why did he suddenly change his mind later?"
He Anting was silent for a while after hearing this.
He probably felt the same way. He thought so and said so.
Xiao Zongqi raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "You have married a good wife. By the way, I plan to let Shishi recognize you as her sworn brother."
He Anting frowned when he heard this, looking reluctant, but in the end he said nothing and was forced to accept the marriage.
It was late at night, and He Anting was walking towards Guanlan Courtyard under the stars and moon. When he turned a corner, a figure bumped into him. The other person cried out, "Who is so blind as to dare to bump into me?"
"Whose master are you?" The cold voice woke Cui Jingyu up. He suddenly looked up and met eyes as cold as stars.
"Cousin." Cui Jingyu's momentum suddenly deflated.
"Why are you still hanging around outside so late?" He Anting scolded impatiently.
"I... I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk." Cui Jingyu was like a mouse seeing a cat. "I'll go back first, cousin."
Cui Jingyu ran away in a hurry. He Anting glanced at him sideways, and after the other person left, he walked away again.
After returning to Guanlan Courtyard, Qingwu took the opportunity to tell his master about what he saw today.
He Anting thought of Cui Jingyu's sneaky look just now and his face turned pale.
Dare to covet his head.
The next day, Cui Jingyu had just woken up when he was told that his cousin had already smoothed the way for him to go to Qingshan Academy, and ordered him to set off immediately without delay.
He was dumbfounded and then fell into deep despair.
His cousin is a man of his word. Can the younger sister-in-law really stand his cousin's cold and hard temper?
Jin Yao had no idea about this matter, she just heard that the noisy young man had finally left.
However, she was still craving for the tangerine peel candy even though she hadn't tasted it yet, so she asked Yunqiao to buy some new ones. After He Anting got off duty, he saw some tangerine peel candy scattered on a plate in the house, and asked Jinyao about it.
"Why do you want to eat candy when you're feeling good?"
Yun Qiao informed him first, and his face turned slightly cold when he heard the three words Cui Jingyu.
Jin Yao was a little angry. Now that Yun Qiao had completely changed sides, adding fuel to the fire would only make the jealous old man jealous.
But she suddenly remembered that the Fifth Young Master seemed to have been sent to study in the academy...
She looked at He Anting suspiciously: "Did you do what happened to the Fifth Young Master?"
He Anting glanced at her and said, "No."
Jinyao didn't believe it: "Really?"
"Why would he be worth all the trouble for me?" He Anting sneered. Jin Yao now believed it mostly and thought it must be a coincidence. She gave him a sticky kiss on the side of his cheek.
…
Two months later, it was deep winter and the cold wind felt like needles pricking people's faces.
Jinyao's movements became more and more clumsy, but she became more and more gentle. She rarely went out, but she would still walk around the house twice a day to exercise.
It had been five months since she got married, and she seemed to have been reborn, becoming more and more delicate. Good times make people lazy, and the weather was freezing cold, so the county lady was really afraid that she would slip, so she exempted her from paying her respects.
The imperial physician took her pulse and said the fetus in her belly was healthy.
The only bad thing was that her feet were swollen, which looked very ugly and made her depressed for several days.
Later, after being comforted by He Anting, he returned to his heartless self.
Li's injuries have improved a lot and she can get out of bed, but Haitang Garden is under strict protection. Jinyao saw her once and she was no longer the charming and charming girl she had seen before.
She changed into formal clothes, tied her hair up in a bun, and looked dignified. The maidservants around her were also first-class. Jin Yao was so surprised that she almost thought she had recognized the wrong person.
Later, He Anting told her that Li was the daughter of the former prime minister of the cabinet. Her father was framed and persecuted, which led to him falling into prostitution. Now his identity has been cleared and she recognizes him as her sworn brother.
Jinyao couldn't help but feel more sympathy for her.
On the day the decree to confer the title of empress was issued, another imperial edict also rushed out of the palace.
When the eunuch came to He Mansion to read the imperial edict, Jinyao was still lying on the couch learning to read the account book. She was about to give birth, and her husband said that the housekeeping affairs would be handed over to her, so she had to learn it well.
It wasn't for any duty, but just so that she could have something to do and not have to eat, drink and have fun every day. When she improved in the future, he would give her a few shops and let her learn how to run them. If there was a loss, it would be his, and if there was a profit, it would be his own private money.
Jinyao was so happy. She didn't have any grand ambitions. It was already good enough for her to be able to manage her own little world.
When Yun Qiao was told that the eunuch was coming, she was stunned for a moment and then remembered that the emperor still owed her a reward.
Hearing this, she got up and went to the front yard.
The eunuch read out the imperial edict with a smile. Jin Yao knelt on the ground for a long time, unable to recover. She actually got the imperial edict?
Yun Qiao was also very surprised. Their wife had received an imperial decree at such a young age. It would be so honorable and glorious for the family if it were made known to others.
Princess Pingyang was also shocked. Even she didn't have an imperial edict, but this girl was so lucky.
"Please get up quickly."
The county lady quickly ordered Nanny Yuan to stuff a bag of money into the eunuch's pocket and said a few flattering words.
After sending the eunuch away, Jinyao held the imperial edict, at a loss as to what to do. The county lady laughed and said, "This is your good fortune. Take it well."
He Anting also learned about this after he came back. He smiled knowingly. Jin Yao talked to him for a long time but still couldn't believe it.
"Today is a great day, so shouldn't we celebrate?" He Anting stared at her.
"How to celebrate?" The smile on Jinyao's face had not yet faded.
"I haven't finished what I did that time, but the injury on my back has healed."
Jinyao's smile froze, and she pretended to be dumb: "Which time?"
"It was that time when I wanted you to ride on..." Before he could finish his words, his mouth was covered.
Jin Yao looked at him seriously: "Husband, please sober up. This is too undignified. Let's forget it."
"What's so shameful about it? Why does Yaoyao always reject me?" He Anting was dissatisfied. She belonged to him from head to toe. Why couldn't he eat her?
Seeing that he was very tough, Jin Yao was soft-hearted and reluctantly agreed to his request.
But she was still very embarrassed.
Outside, Qing Wu was guarding the courtyard gate. The county lady suddenly appeared in a hurry: "Where is He Anting?"
"The master is in the house, does the county lady have anything to say?"
"It's a big deal. Once the imperial edict is released, all the families in Bianjing will come to visit. Should we refuse them all? Even if we can refuse, what about the imperial harem banquet?"
Jinyao is due to give birth in two months. If she goes out now, she won't be able to hide.
Qing Wu said hurriedly, "I will inform you now."
Jinyao was already tense, and Qingwu's loud voice startled her, causing her to lose her grip on her waist...
