Chapter 40: Loneliness is not that important



"Not bad, very delicious." Gu Zhen tasted it while looking at Song Jia's puffy face. She was so cute, like a hamster.

He rubbed his fingers together twice, resisting the urge to knead her. He said calmly, "You eat it. I can't eat any more."

Song Jiaren looked at the egg custard in the bowl, which she had only taken two bites of, and asked in surprise, "You don't want to eat it anymore?"

"I'm not eating anymore." Gu Zhen took off his coat and cotton robe and hung them together, then he went to the couch and picked up a book to read.

Then she won't be polite.

Hmm.

It smells so good.

After finishing her egg custard, Song Jiaren patted her belly contentedly, climbed onto the couch and lay down on the inside. She turned her head and glanced curiously at the book in the Crown Prince's hand. "What are you reading so seriously?"

Gu Zhen turned his head to look at her and said slowly, "Do you want to see it?"

After he said that, Song Jiaren became even more curious and propped up her upper body to read the contents of his book.

A pair of naked people were fighting with fairies. The description was delicate and the lines were smooth. Even the hair was clear. She stammered and blushed, "You...how are you..." How can you read this kind of book!

He even deliberately made her curious and come over to take a look!

"You wanted to see it yourself. I didn't let you see it." Gu Zhen became more and more adept at playing rogue and shirked responsibility cleanly.

Song Jiaren was furious. She glared at him and sat up to crawl out. Just as she climbed on top of him and before she could get over him, he grabbed her wrist.

The warm fingertips rubbed the inside of her wrist lightly. She tried to struggle, but couldn't budge at all. She stared at the half-lying Crown Prince with her watery almond-shaped eyes.

"What?" She spoke with a firm tone, but her eyes were sweet and innocent.

Gu Zhen chuckled, "What do you think?"

Song Jiaren blinked her eyes, and for some reason she thought of the unbearable low gasps and delicate moans she heard at the door of the tent. Her body flushed, and she instantly became weak and her hands and feet became limp.

She felt him pulling her wrist down, and she had to lean closer to his deep brows and strong chest. She unconsciously slowed down her breathing and was surrounded by his cool breath.

"Let go, I'm very heavy..." Song Jiaren chose a sentence that would not offend him, but she didn't know that this sentence gave him an opportunity.

"It's a bit heavy." Gu Zhen raised his eyebrows, stared at her and smiled, saying, "It's not that heavy. Even if it is, you should bear it."

What does this mean.

Before Song Jiaren could figure it out, she felt dizzy. Their positions were swapped and she became the one at the bottom.

Gu Zhen lowered his head, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Is it okay now?"

Not good at all!

Song Jiaren thought about the last time she went to deliver food and money. If she hadn't had her period, she would have been taken advantage of by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

He came closer, and she could feel his hot breath on her neck, which was warm and scalding. His pleasant scent filled her nostrils, making her unable to think.

Gu Zhen could clearly see the fine hairs on the side of her face. He paused, his Adam's apple sliding up and down.

One hand reached behind her head, supporting her neck so that she looked up at him, his fingers buried in her smooth long hair.

Song Jiaren got goose bumps on the side of her neck. Unable to bear such an ambiguous distance, she raised her hand to push him away, but found that they were too close to each other, without even a gap, and her hand could not get in or push him away.

The restrained breathing in her ear suddenly became rapid, as if she could no longer bear it and let go. A warm and wet touch came on her ear, and she was so frightened that her whole body stiffened and she dared not move.

Gu Zhen's other hand around her lower back tightened slightly, and they pressed tightly against each other. Her nightgown also opened up a little as she twisted her body. His breathing became disordered, and his kiss on her small, white earlobe turned into sucking. His strength increased uncontrollably, and her white earlobe turned red like blood from his sucking.

"... Um... ah..." Song Jiaren wanted to refuse, but a moan came out of her mouth, and she immediately covered her mouth in embarrassment.

Gu Zhen's teasing with his lips and tongue made her feel weak all over, and her heart was in turmoil. She hummed uneasily, causing the person beside her neck to breathe heavily.

"Don't scream."

Song Jiaren took two deep breaths, and her expression regained a little clarity. "...It's you." She tried to refute but her voice was soft.

After a while, Gu Zhen stood up, let go of her, and hugged her sideways.

Song Jiaren could tell that his breathing was still unstable, so she didn't dare to add fuel to the fire. She let him hold her and take a deep breath quietly. She couldn't figure out what he was thinking. He was obviously holding it back so much, but he could still stop. Although he often said that he wanted to consummate the marriage, he just held her in his arms to sleep every night. So far, they had only stayed at the kissing stage, which made her feel a little relieved.

I felt cherished and cared for by him.

Song Jiaren's heart was as bright as fireworks, and she buried her face in Gu Zhen's arms and rubbed it.

The heat that Gu Zhen had just managed to dissipate felt rising again, and he quickly hugged the restless little head in his arms and said, "If you move around again, you will suffer the consequences."

Feeling the little head rubbing against its head immediately calm down, he snorted and laughed, what a heartless little goblin.

In fact, he no longer doubted that she was a beggar. The novel things she knew were not something a beggar could know, nor were they something a concubine's daughter of the Song family could know.

But he was not in a hurry, because she would reveal her true colors sooner or later.

The next day at breakfast, Song Jiaren lowered her head and kept silent, not daring to look up at Situ and the others. She was afraid that if she showed her shyness, they would see through her, and she would be too embarrassed to see anyone.

Fortunately, the soldier that Luo Wenhao sent to find a house quickly found one. A few streets away from Fengqing Building, in a remote field, there was a five-room house. It could be used for shade in the front and for farming in the back. Although the roof was a bit simple, it could be moved in after some simple improvements.

Song Jiaren came to this deserted village again. Seeing the closed door of Fengqing Building through the car curtain, she remembered that Gu Zhen spent ten thousand taels of gold to buy Narenhua, and her heart was still uneasy.

"Did Thor return the ten thousand taels to you last time at Fengqing Tower?" Song Jiaren lowered the curtain and turned to ask.

Gu Zhen recalled that he had spent 10,000 taels, but he forgot to mention it when Sol came. "I didn't give it to him."

Song Jiaren looked at the wealthy Crown Prince as if he were a fool. He was so rich and willful that he would even forget ten thousand taels of silver. She turned her head back with grief and looked out the car window again. The curtain was rudely pulled open by her.

"It's just ten thousand taels in exchange for a promise from Thor. It's worth it." Gu Zhen has never been a man who spends money casually, so he would not spend money in vain.

"What promise?" Song Jiaren felt that she should stop turning her head, so she simply sat up straight and asked casually.

Gu Zhen covered the curtain beside her to protect her from the wind and said slowly, "It's nothing. We just want Luosha Kingdom to sign a three-year reinforcement agreement. If another country invades the border area, Luosha Kingdom will come to support without delay. Originally, the two countries only exchanged goods, not military exchanges. In this way, other countries in the north will know that we and Luosha Kingdom are tied together, and there will be no more incidents like the Xianbei War."

Song Jiaren didn't expect that it would be involved so far. It seemed that she was short-sighted. It was worth spending ten thousand taels. This idea probably came to him when he saw Narenhua and decided to save her. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was indeed cunning and sinister, and he would not do business at a loss.

Driving the carriage south from the main street, passing through several alleys, we arrived at the simple house. It was quiet and peaceful, surrounded by a fence. There was a bare big tree in the yard. The ground under our feet was covered with a layer of snow, which made a creaking sound when we stepped on it.

Song Jiaren strolled around and looked around. It turned out to be a structure similar to a modern courtyard house. The main house was on the central axis, with side houses on both sides. There was a stable, a toilet and a piece of land of medium size in the backyard.

The room was filled with a few old beds, tea tables and chairs, and the walls were old and looked dull and dirty.

Gu Zhen and Song Jiaren took a look around and then left. The three brothers of the Situ family took Yue Nu with them to check each room one by one, and they seemed quite satisfied.

"Thank you, General Luo and Your Highness. This house is very nice. Let's stay here." The Situ family didn't like the bustling city, so the quietness of this place was very suitable for them. Besides, the triplets didn't want to be too conspicuous and cause people to talk about them. In addition, the three brothers shared a wife, which was shocking to ordinary people. So this place was more suitable for them to live in.

Although it is located in a remote place, the price is not cheap. At least Song Jiaren can't afford it. She only has a few hundred taels on her, and this house costs 20,000 taels, which is enough to buy two Narenhuas.

She watched in shock as Situ Yin took out a stack of banknotes, each worth five thousand taels, and bought the house with such lavish spending. This made Song Jiaren feel sour as if she had eaten a lemon, and even a little resentful of the rich.

No, she has to find a way to make some money. Everyone is richer than her, and she won’t accept it!

So, when she returned to the camp, she went into the kitchen, sent away a few burly cooks, rolled up her sleeves and started working. After repeated experiments, she finally mastered the key to successful production and went back to sleep happily.

The next morning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was woken up and asked to sit at the table.

"What is this?" Gu Zhen asked in confusion, looking at the large bowl in front of him that was turned upside down.

Song Jiaren eagerly took away the bowl on top and introduced, "This is a simple and convenient instant noodle with a unique taste. It's not cooked, but poured with hot water, covered with a lid, and can be eaten after soaking for a while. It's convenient, come and try it."

Gu Zhen looked at the curved noodles in the bowl. They could be eaten after just soaking them in hot water for a while?

He picked up his chopsticks and tasted it. It tasted quite good, with just the right amount of saltiness. There were chopped green onions floating on the noodle soup. "Not bad. How did you come up with that?"

Song Jiaren lied to him vaguely, "It was just a sudden idea." This was not her idea.

"Instant noodles are so convenient and perfect for satisfying hunger when you're out and about. They're filling and smoother than dry food, and you can even take them home and make your own. So, Your Highness, are you interested in making something big?"

Gu Zhen raised the end of his eyebrows. "What do you mean?"

Do something big?
