Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Ex-fiancé
Jiang Hexue's smiling words suddenly stopped.
She opened her eyes in surprise and looked at him.
Perhaps it was because he was standing with his back to the light, the eyes of the young man in front of him appeared a little dark, his long dark blue eyelashes drooped, and his light crimson lips were pursed into a straight line.
He looked like he was in a particularly bad mood.
But rather than being angry, it's more like... being lost.
Jiang Hexue had not thought about this question before, so when he suddenly brought it up, her instinctive reaction was "of course".
But when she saw his expression, she swallowed back the words stuck in her throat, and she couldn't make any promises to him.
What if they were a couple with a bad relationship, what if he could never fall in love with her, she would not stay in the palace and be a "widow" for the rest of her life!
She is not a fool.
"Even if I don't recognize A Ye, I will help you deal with the Qingyuan marriage issue first, and then talk about the divorce." Jiang Hexue didn't want to lie to him and said sincerely.
"Why do you want to divorce now? It's too early before the New Year."
Shen Qingchen didn’t respond again.
"I understand. You think choosing a second wife is troublesome." He didn't say anything, but Jiang Hexue understood his meaning and pinched his knuckles soothingly. "Don't worry. You are noble and beautiful. The noble ladies in Kyoto who want to marry you will probably line up from east to west of the city. You can choose whatever you want."
"If I really don't have anyone I like, then I don't have to choose. You don't value offspring anyway..." She paused. "You don't value it, but Mother and the others do."
It was probably the same as Jiang Hexue wanted to see if there was any water in Su Linger's head this morning.
Shen Qingchen now also wants to pry her apart to see if she has any heart.
On the first day of the wedding, I discussed divorce and remarriage with him.
Wasn't his expression obvious enough - he was the one who took the initiative to propose marriage, and after just one day, he held her hand, hugged her, kissed her, and let her touch his body.
He had lived in Liangzhou for half a year before, and he had never even touched the edge of her sleeve, but there were many surprises...
He wondered, if it was really a marriage of convenience, how could they be so intimate?
"How about this." Shen Qingchen was still sulking, and Jiang Hexue winked cunningly in front of him. "Let's try to sleep first."
"If we're compatible, I can leave you a little prince, or a little princess, and then we can divorce," she added cautiously. "But whether or not you can get pregnant is not something I can decide alone."
As she spoke, she was already thinking about the contraceptive soup.
Only a fool would go through the pain of giving birth to a child. She just wanted to sleep with him.
By the way, let's test where his bottom line is.
"Jiang Hexue." Shen Qingchen called in a deep voice.
His voice was exceptionally cold, like a spring soaked in crushed ice in winter, and he called her by her full name, which startled Jiang Hexue so much that she immediately stopped smiling and her back straightened a little.
It seems like I have stepped on it too much and I have to give in.
It would not be wise to confront him head-on, but...
Jiang Hexue sighed silently in her heart, feeling that he was truly a chaste and heroic man.
Shen Qingchen pulled his hand away, and when he saw her like this, he couldn't say a harsh word.
"After digesting the food, I went back to my room to take a nap."
"What about you?" Jiang Hexue smiled again.
“I don’t have the habit of taking a lunch break.”
"Would you mind taking a nap today?" Seeing that he didn't lose his temper, Jiang Hexue gently tugged at his sleeve. "I'm sleepy, my dear. Would you mind taking a nap too?"
He didn't struggle, so she grabbed his fingertips and shook them: "Husband, I can't sleep without you here——"
Her ending tone was drawn out, and her husky and sweet voice had a bit of stickiness.
Shen Qingchen lost her temper after she called him "husband" several times.
There is a long way to go, and you will fall in love with each other over time.
He walked towards the bedroom.
After taking two steps, he saw Jiang Hexue still standing there in a daze. He couldn't help but look back: "What are you standing there for?"
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Hexue trotted over and shook his hand again.
"Lunch break."
-
Jiang Hexue took a long and comfortable lunch break.
When Youyou woke up, the curtains were half-drawn, letting in a few rays of warm afternoon sunlight, and tiny spots of light danced on the golden bells of the white flowers.
The young man beside me was half-leaning up, holding a thin booklet in his hand, reading intently.
There were also tiny spots of light dancing on the dark eyelashes.
Her hand was on his waist again. Jiang Hexue glanced at him, closed her eyes again, and pretended to touch his abdominal muscles unconsciously in her sleep.
Even though he couldn't see, the touch of his muscles became more and more superior, with clear lines, hard and powerful.
It was such a perfect appearance. She really liked it and really enjoyed it.
"Want to touch it a few more times?"
Jiang Hexue paused, slowly raised his eyes, and looked at Shen Qingchen.
His eyes were calm, without any anger in them.
"Five?" Jiang Hexue asked tentatively.
"Three times?" Shen Qingchen didn't respond, she took a step back.
"get up."
Jiang Hexue patted him quickly and habitually stayed in bed: "It's only a few hours now, stay with me for a while..."
"One quarter after noon."
Jiang Hexue paused and repeated, "One quarter past three in the afternoon?"
"Yeah." Shen Qingchen moved her hand away and stood up. "You slept for an hour and a half."
"Then you stayed with me for an hour and a half." Jiang Hexue smiled brightly and leaned over to kiss him. "Zhaohua is so nice."
Shen Qingchen tilted her head, and her kiss only landed on the side of his cheek.
His reaction was exactly what Jiang Hexue expected. With a smile, she continued, "Since you don't have the habit of taking a nap, why don't you just get up first?"
"I know you'll be tired." Shen Qingchen got off the couch and replied while putting on his coat. "I got something else to kill time in advance."
"Yes, I used to take a nap at the Marquis' Mansion, but it was usually only an hour long," Jiang Hexue recalled. "So, after the Master left, what would you do?"
"Do your arithmetic homework for you."
Jiang Hexue blinked slowly: "And then?"
"Copy the book for you."
"Anything else?"
"Teach Jiang Heye to write his homework."
Jiang Hexue smiled awkwardly and asked, "What happens next?"
"Then you came." Shen Qingchen's voice was still calm, but there was a hint of laughter in it. "Drag us out of the house."
The Hui people are adorned with pearls and jades, like a gorgeous and beautiful butterfly.
He didn't say it.
Jiang Heye was sick at that time and could not go out again and again, so he had to accompany her reluctantly.
"What about today?" Jiang Hexue half-knelt on the couch, watching him put on his coat neatly, and blinked with understanding. "If I want to go out for a walk, will you accompany me?"
"Everything has been arranged."
"Then wait for me, it will be quick!" Jiang Hexue smiled, jumped off the bed swiftly, put on her slippers and ran to the bathroom.
Her undershirt was curled up when she slept, revealing a small part of her slender waist. Her trouser legs were slightly opened, revealing her thin ankles.
Shen Qingchen looked away.
She didn't know that he had never thought about divorce.
-
Emperor Yu Hengshun was almost done writing his winter hunting proposal when Jiang Hexue wet a corner of the study window paper: "Zhaohua."
Her eyes were pressed against the diamond-lattice window frame, and the window paper above her thick eyelashes bulged inward.
Shen Qingchen cleaned the wolf hair brush, put the proposal aside, and pushed the door open.
A soft white hand suddenly appeared in the crook of his arm, and Jiang Hexue came close to him the next moment, his eyes shining, and he looked just as excited as he did back then.
The carriage jolted and stopped by the moat in the west of the city.
Jumping off the carriage, his gaze passed through Merlin. The moment he saw clearly, Jiang Hexue could no longer suppress the smile on his lips: "Ice play?!"
"Yeah." Shen Qingchen glanced at the empty ice rink and looked down at her. "Is it okay?"
"That's perfect!" Jiang Hexue gave him a perfunctory kiss on the cheek, then hurried away. "I'll go change my skates and get my ice skates!"
Kyoto is located in the north and it is winter, so the ice rink no longer needs to be artificially poured. When Jiang Hexue first stepped on the ice skates, he shivered at the rising chill.
But ice skating is a game she has played since she was a child. After spinning around with the ice skates, she regained her previous feeling.
The huge ice rink belonged to her alone. Jiang Hexue skated with abandon, simply throwing her skates aside and skating without any scruples. She didn't even skate in circles, but just spun in circles in the middle of the rink.
With one leg hooked up and arms stretched out, he was almost in a state of ecstasy.
I spun around several times until I felt a little dizzy, then I slowed down and started skating in small steps.
The rustling sound of footsteps approached, and Jiang Hexue immediately perked up, gliding to the entrance, lying on the edge of the stone pole and shouting: "Zhao Hua——"
"Jiang, I'll be in no hurry." A clear, young voice came first. "I wish Your Highness and the Princess a long and happy marriage."
Shen Qingchen thanked her and walked to Jiang Hexue alone. Seeing her like this, the corners of his lips couldn't help but raise slightly: "Tired?"
"Come and stay with me." Jiang Hexue walked around the railing and held his hand. "I can't say I'm tired. The empty rink is a great place to skate, but it's still a bit too empty for me alone, and I can't help but feel lonely..."
"Zhaohua, I remember you don't know how to play ice skating?" She paused. "I called you twice to Liangzhou before, but you declined each time. In the end, Fu Er and I went together."
“Now I do.”
He learned it especially for her, but...
"Who is Fu Er?" Shen Qingchen frowned, feeling that the name sounded familiar.
"Do you still remember the second son of the Marquis of Changping, Fu Wang?" Jiang Hexue mentioned it, then thought about how he couldn't even tell his cousins Su Min'er and Su Ling'er apart, so she added thoughtfully, "The one who always wore red and stuck behind me."
Shen Qingchen still had no impression.
Jiang Hexue had so many friends back then that he couldn't count them with both hands. After walking a few steps on the street, he would be surrounded by a huge group of people.
But he was always by her side.
And his eyes were always dominated by her.
"Think about it again - the one with a high ponytail tied with a red hairband, a whip in her hand, and two rows of white teeth showing when she smiles, do you remember her?" His wandering thoughts were pulled back by Jiang Hexue.
She described it in such detail that Shen Qingchen had some impression.
He had never hated anyone, and Fu Wang was the only one.
He always dragged Jiang Hexue to chat about this and that, with a silly smile and frivolous words. He couldn't even say the proper "Madam Jiang" and always called her...
Shen Qingchen couldn’t remember clearly, and felt a little strange.
He wouldn't dislike someone because of this, at most he would think that person was useless...
"It's Fu Wang, who I was previously engaged to!"
