When Chen Jingxi woke up, it was already noon the next day.
"Jingxi..." Chen Jingxi opened her eyes, and what came into her sight was Chu Jinghuai's handsome smile and the tenderness in his eyes.
She rubbed her slightly aching head, looked at the messy bed and the clothes on the floor, and yesterday's memories came into her mind intermittently.
When I looked down again and saw that her smooth skin was covered with ambiguous red marks, my face instantly felt hot.
Chu Jinghuai laughed softly, looking at her flushed face, her eyes still full of spring water, her lips slightly swollen, revealing an extremely bright crimson color.
A fiery fire quickly ignited in his eyes, and his voice became a little hoarse: "Jingxi."
Chen Jingxi's head buzzed and he kicked him down.
"..." Chu Jinghuai groaned, and immediately felt aggrieved again, "Princess, are you going to throw me away after I've done my job?"
Chen Jingxi was confused and quickly got out of bed to help him up. "It was just a reflex. I didn't mean it. Are you okay?"
Seeing that she looked like she had done something wrong and was afraid of being scolded by him, Chu Jinghuai suppressed the smile on his face and said, "Yesterday, I served the princess so wholeheartedly, but I didn't expect that the first thing the princess did when she woke up was to kick me."
"It's my fault, don't be angry. Does it hurt? Let me rub it for you."
"My chest hurts."
Chen Jingxi noticed the scratches and bite marks on his chest and asked, "How did it become like this?"
"Did the princess forget what she did yesterday? Do you want me to help her recall?"
Chen Jingxi thought for a moment and said, "No, no."
"Just remember it, Princess."
Chen Jingxi smiled bitterly. As soon as her hand touched Chu Jinghuai's chest, he grabbed it and asked, "Princess, how do you plan to compensate me?"
Chen Jingxi thought for a moment and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, we have such a good relationship. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine."
Chu Jinghuai: "..."
"How about this, I'll give you one thousand taels."
"Is this king only worth one thousand taels?"
"This is a very fair price. I'm only paying you so much because of your status as a prince. A prostitute out there only gets sixty taels a night."
Chu Jinghuai's face darkened. "Are you comparing me with those young prostitutes?"
"Oh!" Chen Jingxi snuggled in his arms and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You are my man, and they are everyone's men. How can you compare them?"
Chu Jinghuai looked at the little head in his arms, his mouth twitched, and he sighed: "Forget it, if I want the princess to compensate me, I will have to wait until the next life."
However, Chen Jingxi is a person who responds to soft words and does not respond to hard words. After hearing what he said, he seemed a little sad.
She looked up and glanced at him, her expression seemed to be one of self-pity, and the guilt in her heart grew. Since they had been together, he seemed to have been oppressed by her and allowed to be beaten and scolded by her. Shouldn't she be nicer to him?
His Royal Highness Prince Su now realized something. His already loose inner garment tilted slightly, revealing a large area of scars.
Chen Jingxi's eyebrows twitched when she saw this. There were scratches all over the body, some of which were very deep, especially on the shoulder. She must have used all her strength to bite him, and the bite had penetrated the bone.
Now her guilt reached its peak. "Tell me, how do you want me to compensate you?"
His Royal Highness Prince Su was so happy that he covered his mouth with his hands and pressed his lips tightly with his palms to prevent himself from laughing.
"Ahem, I didn't have any intentions, but the princess herself asked to compensate me, so I will just briefly mention her request. I hope to put the matter of Ye Nandie behind me."
Chen Jingxi thought about it and nodded.
"Princess, you must not leave me out in the future. Also, Princess, you need to do your job well."
"What's up?"
"That's what the mistress of a palace should do." Chu Jinghuai looked at her seriously.
"For example?"
"For example, managing the affairs of the palace, serving this prince well, expanding the palace, and caring for this prince every day, asking about his well-being..."
"Wait!" Chen Jingxi interrupted, "So many?"
Chu Jinghuai lowered his eyes, "Princess, do you think it's too much? Then forget it. With your personality, it's impossible for you to do so much for this king."
Chen Jingxi: "..." She didn't know if it was her illusion, but why did she feel that this person was a bit yandere?
She was just beginning to doubt it, and he sighed, speaking with a hint of melancholy, "I was delusional, thinking that the princess had feelings for me. Now it seems it was just wishful thinking on my part."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and was about to leave. Chen Jingxi hurriedly held him back, "No, I have you in my heart. I just wanted to ask one more question."
"The princess..."
"I promise, I promise everything."
Chu Jinghuai forced himself to stop smiling and said calmly, "I am really happy that the princess has agreed. Even if this injury lasts a lifetime, I am willing to do it."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you have any medicine on you? Apply some first. It would be bad if it gets infected."
Chu Jinghuai nodded. People who practiced martial arts inevitably carried some pain medicine on them. He picked up the clothes on the ground and took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve.
Chen Jingxi took it directly, dipped a handkerchief in the ointment, and helped him apply it to the wound.
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
"Why are you so stupid? If I bite you, won't you dodge?"
"It's just a minor injury, it's nothing serious. The princess likes to bite, so a few more bites are fine."
Chen Jingxi immediately bit the other shoulder. Chu Jinghuai didn't dodge at all. She paused for a moment and said, "What a fool."
Chu Jinghuai looked at her, his eyes full of tenderness, "I am willing to be this fool."
Chen Jingxi glared at him, finished applying the medicine, helped him put on his clothes, and turned around to ask him, "How are Hanyu and Chunmei? And what about the plum garden yesterday?"
