Chapter 50◇
◎Like a wild donkey that has broken free◎
Before Duan Jinchuan could finish questioning his existence, half of the blanket covering Feng Ran was thrown at him. He felt Feng Ran pull his arm away, and then he found himself in her arms with a warm and soft body.
Duan Jingchuan struggled for a moment, but Feng Ran used her strength to restrain him and prevent him from moving.
Duan Jingchuan's expression was complicated for a moment. He gently patted Feng Ran's shoulder and said softly, "I haven't taken my shoes off yet."
Yes, although Feng Ran had the strength to pull Duan Jingchuan onto the bed in an instant, Duan Jingchuan was tall and strong, and his long legs were still hanging off the edge of the bed.
Feng Ran gave a soft hum and then released Duan Jingchuan.
Duan Jingchuan changed his shoes as if in a dream, then brought a basin of warm water to wipe Feng Ran's face. Finally, he lay down on the bed, looking serene, waiting for Feng Ran to snuggle into his arms again.
The servants of Jinghua Courtyard were also keeping vigil for the New Year. When they saw Duan Jingchuan enter Feng Ran's room tonight, they were all overjoyed and almost placed bets on when the young master would come out of the young lady's room.
However, most people guessed that the young master would come out at midnight, but unexpectedly, he came out before 9 PM, carrying a basin of warm water and then went back.
Xiong Qi and Xiu'er exchanged a smile. Had things finally gone smoothly?
The servants were very perceptive and knew that it might be inconvenient for the main house, so they left Xiong Qi and Xiu'er to watch from a distance in case someone from the main house called them and they didn't hear it.
As midnight approached, fireworks lit up the sky, like countless stars.
There is no curfew on New Year's Eve. Creatures that are usually asleep seem to have started a carnival at this moment. The sounds of children playing, adults cheering, roosters crowing and dogs barking make it very lively.
Duan Jingchuan opened his eyes at that moment, the confusion still lingering. When had he fallen asleep? How could he have fallen asleep?
Yes, when Feng Ran first dragged him to bed, he was initially very conflicted. He thought that with such a beautiful woman in his arms, he would have difficulty falling asleep. But listening to the even breathing of the person next to him, the lustful fire in his lower abdomen dissipated without him realizing it, and he gradually became drowsy and eventually fell asleep.
It wasn't until the fireworks lit up the sky that he was awakened.
There was still a soft, furry touch on his neck, but Feng Ran slept soundly, her position on him unchanged.
Afraid that the noise outside the window would disturb her, Duan Jingchuan gently covered Feng Ran's ears and said softly, "It's okay, go to sleep!"
After saying this, he closed his eyes amidst the cheers.
The fragrance of blue lotus is quiet and melancholic, bringing peace to the room.
The next morning, everyone in the Dingbei Marquis's residence, young and old, got up early to start preparing.
The maids were busy preparing breakfast for their masters; the first day of the new year always had to be lavish.
Xiong Qi and Xiu'er guessed that these two masters would probably use it at Jinghua Courtyard this morning, and they couldn't afford to be outdone.
Although he had kept watch for most of the night without seeing any movement from his master, he got up after only two hours of sleep, but he was still full of energy and told the cook to prepare a more lavish breakfast.
As for whether it will be wasted? Xiuer is very confident about this. As long as the food is delicious enough, no matter how much is made, it will not be wasted. The Crown Princess will eat it all up clean.
The kitchen in Jinghua Courtyard was small, and the two cooks were extremely busy, but neither of them complained.
Before, when Jinghua Courtyard only had one master, they all felt that their talents had no place to be displayed. The master was not picky about food, but he also didn't like to eat. They had no sense of accomplishment at all.
Now a new one has arrived. This master is a foodie. Although she likes all kinds of food, what's pleasing is that she is never picky about food. She eats everything, good or bad. However, if she encounters something she doesn't like, she will take the initiative to tell her not to make it again next time. This is the kind of master that all cooks hope to see the most.
The eve of the Lunar New Year had just passed, and the air was still filled with the smell of firecrackers and the faint fragrance of plum blossoms.
It seems the plum blossoms knew to bloom in time for the occasion, as they quietly opened last night.
Duan Jingchuan woke up when there was any noise outside, but Feng Ran was sleeping soundly, so he didn't dare to move, afraid of waking the person in his arms.
However, the burning sensation in his lower abdomen made him increasingly restless, and his hands, which were wrapped around Feng Ran's waist, became restless as well.
Feng Ran was awakened by an itch on her waist. She had been sleeping for almost four hours, and she was still very energetic. She wasn't angry at being woken up. Instead, she snuggled into Duan Jingchuan's arms and said in a hoarse voice, "Husband, I slept so soundly holding you."
"
Duan Jingchuan was already savoring the moment, and this hug made him even more flustered. He carefully shifted his body to avoid Feng Ran's leg, which was wrapped around his waist.
Unexpectedly, Feng Ran pounced on her and started kissing her all over.
this...
Then don't blame your husband.
Duan Jingchuan took the initiative and kissed him back fiercely.
Spring was in full bloom, and tender buds on the branches were about to burst into bloom, but Feng Ran called a halt to it.
Duan Jingchuan's enthusiasm was suddenly doused with cold water. Upon seeing the scene before him, he had no time to appreciate it and anxiously wrapped Feng Ran in the quilt. "I'm sorry, Madam, I lost control."
He was afraid that Feng Ran would be angry, so he carefully looked her over.
Feng Ran hadn't had enough of holding him yet when the little socially anxious girl in her arms ran away!
Even though he was covered by a blanket, I don't know how he managed to create the visual effect of being 800 feet away.
Feng Ran blinked, looking at her naked body and recalling the feeling of her naked husband earlier, and asked with some confusion, "Does my husband want to have a baby?"
...
Duan Jingchuan was choked up with great composure, unable to utter a single word.
Unaware of anything amiss, Feng Ran stretched out her smooth, lotus-root-like arm and counted on her fingers, "My husband is twenty years old this year, which is indeed the age to have children."
After saying that, she patted her empty belly with a pained expression, "Husband, I'm hungry now, let's give birth tonight!"
Duan Jingchuan was silent for a moment, wondering how the topic had broken off like a wild donkey, completely illogical and irrelevant.
He desperately wanted to shake Feng Ran and ask, "Why did you suddenly start asking for a kiss so early in the morning? Huh!"
If Feng Ran knew, she would definitely answer him: "I promised you last night, I'll take a drag this morning."
Duan Qingchuan couldn't think of a way to answer Feng Ran's question. Without a word, he quickly grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on. He looked at Feng Ran, who was naked under the covers, with a complicated expression, and hesitated before finally saying, "Should we put on our undergarments first?"
Feng Ran shook her head from side to side, "No, I want to wait for Xiu'er to come."
"Did Xiu'er help you put on these clothes before?" For some reason, Duan Jingchuan felt a little jealous.
Feng Ran was still a bit groggy in the morning, and after all, she hadn't really woken up naturally. She yawned several times, her eyes watery, and said in a muffled voice, "Xiuer said she's going to give me new clothes today, but I don't know what to wear."
Feng Ran wasn't really that lazy, needing Xiu'er to help her dress. It's just that if she wore the wrong clothes, she'd have to change them later, and she was too lazy to bother with that.
Duan Jingchuan, who had been feeling jealous, shook his head helplessly at Feng Ran's dazed look. His wife always had a way of making him lose his composure, breaking him down from every angle.
He chuckled softly and got dressed on his own.
He had no clothes to change into; the only thing in the house was the old clothes he had taken off yesterday. He was about to turn around and go out to find Xiuer himself.
After asking Xiuer, he turned back and handed over the clothes Xiuer had prepared for Feng Ran. He deliberately lowered his voice, full of temptation, "Would you like me to help you change, Madam?" His low voice was also filled with eagerness.
But this eagerness was completely extinguished by Feng Ran's words.
"No, I don't want to have babies right now!!!" she shouted loudly.
Duan Jingchuan's face was a mix of emotions. He only said one thing, "Call Xiu'er in after you're dressed," and left without looking back.
When Feng Ran called Xiu'er in, Xiu'er had a big smile on her face, and it was hard to believe that a teenage girl could have crow's feet from smiling like that.
Feng Ran asked curiously, "Did a pie fall from the sky? Why are you smiling so broadly?"
With her face covered in chrysanthemum-like marks, Xiu'er sincerely said to Feng Ran, "Congratulations, Princess Consort! Congratulations, Princess Consort!"
Feng Ran's hand, which was rinsing her mouth, froze. She tentatively asked, "Are you wishing me a Happy New Year? Do I need to prepare a red envelope?"
Xiuer's smile remained unchanged, and she said sweetly, "There is a special reward in the manor. If the Princess Consort would like to give Xiuer an extra share, Xiuer would not mind."
Feng Ran was quite generous, but she had indeed overlooked this matter in the past. She took out her silver box and jewelry box, thought for a moment, and then chose a pair of begonia red pendants to give to Xiu'er.
"Happy New Year. You should wear something red during the New Year. I've noticed you've been wearing this white pendant for a long time."
Xiuer didn't say that this was the standard configuration for maids in the mansion, but now that she had received it as a reward from her master, she could naturally change it.
The Crown Princess didn't care about the ruby pendants; they were quite valuable. Xiu'er was overjoyed.
Feng Ran has never been careful with her words; if someone tries to trick her, she can say anything.
Under Xiu'er's subtle probing, Xiu'er finally understood that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess did not consummate their marriage last night, but the Crown Princess had already given the exact time for them to do so, which was tonight.
Xiuermo's brow twitched, and she immediately relayed the news to Xiong Qi. Xiong Qi then received the same chrysanthemum face and passed it on to Lord Duan.
Good heavens, now half of the Marquis's mansion knows about it.
The study of Lord Duan.
Butler Li looked at the melancholy-faced Marquis Duan and almost couldn't help but laugh. "My lord, you don't need to worry. The young master is already a grown man and should know about these things."
Marquis Duan shook his head sadly, "If he understood, how could nothing have happened after sleeping together all night? I think he's a fool. He must have displeased the Crown Princess last night, which is why she made such a harsh statement today, saying that she must succeed tonight."
Old Li tentatively asked, "Isn't that a good thing?"
Good news? Not necessarily.
A note from the author:
Lord Duan: I'm so worried about the young couple consummating their marriage.
Old Li: Doctor and tonics are all prepared. Young Master is doing well!
Duan Jingchuan: Thank you all!
