Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Is she really that good, or are women really...
"I'm not a bully, I'm your grandfather. If you don't like it, we can do it another time."
The Duke's voice was low and gentle. She rested her chin on his shoulder, hugging his broad, strong arms. At this moment, she felt surprisingly peaceful.
The Duke felt something wrapped around his waist, and when he reached out, he found it was a pair of slippery legs.
He retracted his hand, and then he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. But he had to support himself with one hand, otherwise he was afraid of crushing her.
The other hand could only be raised innocently. Jasmine took his hand away and said shyly, "Master, come closer."
"How else...how can I get closer?"
"Relax, sir."
"good."
“Master, you…”
Jasmine was stunned. This guy had been holding up his entire body from the beginning, and now she was hanging on him with her hands and feet like a spider spirit. She was already in the air, and this guy was still holding on!
How should this be done?
"How about you lie down?"
The Duke obeyed and did as he was told.
This time, Jasmine was on top of him. Jasmine reached out, and the Duke's face flushed again. Jasmine ignored him, concentrating on her work.
It feels right, yet it feels wrong.
It's not right, it seems there are only a few places, if I try them one by one, it won't go wrong. But it's right, why can't I get in anywhere?
Jasmine was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.
The Duke just pulled out a piece of something and used it to wipe the sweat off her face.
It felt like half a lifetime, and the Duke couldn't bear it any longer, so he pulled her off his body. The two of them immediately changed directions.
This time, the Duke had some ideas. He stopped holding on and slowly hugged Jasmine, staying close to her.
"Is it heavy?"
Jasmine: "Not heavy."
The Duke felt relieved and immediately started to busy himself.
This time, it was Jasmine's turn to wipe his sweat.
Finally, the heat became unbearable, and the Duke threw back the quilt. He gasped and said, "Try again, sir."
finally--
Jasmine gasped.
The Duke's face was a little impatient, a little surprised, and a little uncertain as he asked, "Is this the place? It feels a little small."
Jasmine didn't know whether it was true or not. She swallowed hard and wanted to speak, but the words couldn't come out.
The Duke took it as his acquiescence and put in some more effort.
The Duke asked himself again, "That should be it? It seems I can get in."
Jasmine opened her mouth wide, otherwise she couldn't breathe.
The Duke felt that it was becoming increasingly difficult. His face flushed red, his forehead throbbed, and he pressed his forehead against Jasmine's: "My Lord is in pain."
Then he became ruthless.
Jasmine didn't sleep that night.
After finishing, Jasmine wanted to go back to her own bed to sleep, but was dragged back by her grandfather after a while.
The third time, it was the Duke who crawled into her bed.
As the daylight began to grow, Jasmine was squeezed to the foot of the bed, unable to cry. She reached out tremblingly to push the person away, but the Duke bit the white flesh of her forearm and roared in her ear, "Jasmine is so kind."
Jasmine rolled her eyes and wondered, was she really that nice, or were women really that nice?
As expected, she shouldn't have any different expectations of this guy. As expected, all men are the same!
Jasmine felt that her future would be difficult. Fortunately, he would marry in six months.
The girl from the Luo family looks stronger than her and should be able to hold on.
Half a year?
With a legal wife, the Duke couldn't possibly ignore her. This meant that even if she wanted to find him, it would be difficult.
Jasmine thought so and hugged the Duke's neck again.
The Duke was even more excited after receiving the invitation.
Jasmine was awakened by the sunlight shining through the window pane. From the position of the light, it was obvious that it was already past noon.
Jasmine jumped out of bed. Her legs felt like they were not hers. She endured the discomfort and couldn't wait to open the door.
When he reached the door, he stopped and turned back to look at the bed.
I thought I would see a messy bed, but there wasn't one.
What happened last night is still fresh in my mind. It couldn't have been anything but a mess. It could only have been cleaned up by someone.
The clothes that were scattered all over the floor last night have been hung on the hangers. Jasmine looked down and realized that she was wearing clothes. They were not very neat and a button was buttoned incorrectly, but she was sure that the clothes were clean.
Did you change her quilt because it was dirty and you were afraid she would catch a cold?
Jasmine combed her hair with her fingers a few more times to make sure there was nothing wrong before opening the door.
It was quiet outside the door, and no one was there.
The little maid named Xiuhong saw her and hurried over to her: "Auntie, the Duke has instructed that you should rest in your room all day and don't need to get up. No one will come to disturb you. Are you hungry? I will go and prepare it right away."
Jasmine hurriedly pulled her back: "I'm not hungry, don't worry. Then I'll go back to sleep for a while?"
"Go ahead, Auntie. You can sleep as long as you want. If the Duke comes back, I'll call you Auntie."
The little girl is not very old, and when she smiles she seems to know a lot.
Jasmine blushed, retreated back into the room and closed the door.
The little girl said outside the door: "My name is Xiuhong. If you have any questions, just call me."
Jasmine lay back on the bed. She rolled over and lay still on the inner bed.
With his eyes closed, a smile played on his lips.
From today on, unless something unexpected happens, she will be safe.
Given the master's character, as long as she didn't make any mistakes, she shouldn't be kicked out of the house. Maybe, even if she made some mistakes occasionally, given the master's soft-hearted nature, he wouldn't blame her.
Jasmine feels that her future is bright.
She doesn't have any big wishes. She just wants to live a stable life, have warm clothes and enough food to eat in the second half of her life.
Now it can be said that it is better than she expected.
In the future, she would work hard to be a good concubine to the Duke, serving him and his mistress well. If she could give birth to a son or daughter, that would be even better.
She would take good care of both boys and girls, ensuring they didn't go hungry or get bullied.
But the child is still my child, so life will definitely not be difficult.
Jasmine buried her face in the pillow and rejoiced.
After a while, she warned herself that she couldn't get pregnant at this time. If she did, it would be a slap in the face of the future Duke's wife.
It’s better to wait until Miss Luo comes in. Then she can say a few more nice words. I believe the master and the mistress will agree.
In the dream, Jasmine actually returned to the first time she met her grandfather.
...
She kept running, running for her life, her bare feet covered in mud mixed with blood.
It was dark and she didn't know where she was running to. She didn't dare to stop.
Seeing several dark shadows in front of her, they might not be good people, but compared to the jackals behind her, she could only move forward without hesitation.
"Help me! Please, help me!"
Yan Guogong led his brothers to capture the Tongyu thief, but unexpectedly, the prince of Yuguo arrived to help. There were many people in the area, and he was short of manpower. It was not worth it to just do it for a spy, so he decided to give up.
Unexpectedly, on the way back to the camp, he met a woman.
The woman rushed forward desperately, but luckily the Duke was quick enough to turn his horse around, otherwise the woman would have been either dead or injured.
When the people are in trouble, the Duke certainly cannot stand by and watch them die.
Jasmine was asked where she lived, why she ran away, and who was chasing her.
Jasmine just shook her head, obviously frightened. The Duke had no choice but to bring the person back to the camp.
In order to stay, Jasmine made up a lie. She told the Duke that she was sold by her family and that she had escaped from the person who bought her. The person who bought her must have spent money and was looking for her everywhere.
But the Duke couldn't keep her. The barracks were full of men, so what would it mean for her to stay there alone?
Six days after Jasmine was rescued, the Duke came again to chase her away. This time, he found a commoner's family to take her away.
It happened that on that day, the Duke set an ambush to deal with the prince of Yu State. Jasmine pretended to leave with the people, and then borrowed the people's donkey cart to chase the Duke.
Unfortunately, she happened to run into the soldiers of the Sumikoku region. Fortunately, the Duke was mighty and turned around to save her.
Another heavy rain trapped them in the cave.
For her, the Duke drove his subordinates to another cave.
Jasmine said she was scared, so the Duke had to stay and accompany her.
Jasmine did it on purpose.
"General, I am cold."
The Duke turned around and saw that she had taken off her wet clothes at some point and was squatting alone in front of the fire with her knees hugged.
The Duke just took a look and turned his head away.
The Duke denied it on the spot: "Um... I didn't see anything, you don't have to take it to heart."
"I am fine, General. There is no need to embarrass me."
The words sounded nice, but it sounded like he was about to cry.
The Duke was extremely upset and said, "Don't worry, I swear to heaven that no one else will know what happened today."
"ah!"
The Duke heard the screams, but didn't dare to turn around and asked, "What..."
Before he could even utter the word "了", the woman threw herself into his arms.
Even if the Duke wanted to hide, there was no way he could escape.
A month later, the Duke defeated Sumikoku in the final battle and signed a ten-year non-aggression pact with Sumikoku.
Another half month later, with the permission of His Majesty, the Duke returned to the capital with his concubine Jasmine.
It was on the way back to Kyoto that Jasmine learned that the Duke was returning to the capital to get married.
In the carriage returning to Beijing.
The Duke accompanied his concubine in the carriage and told her what to pay attention to after returning to Beijing.
"I was busy before and didn't have time to talk to you about this. Now listen carefully. Since you have agreed to be my concubine, you must follow the rules of my Yan Mansion from now on."
Jasmine: "Yes, I will obey your orders."
The Duke: "Besides being a general, I am also the Duke of Ding. There are many people in the Duke's Mansion. I will introduce them to you one by one when we get home."
Jasmine: "Yes."
"I returned to Beijing this time to marry according to my mother's arrangement."
The Duke said this, looking at his concubine with a serious look in his eyes: "You must remember to keep to your duty. If you overstep the boundaries, I will show no mercy."
Jasmine asked anxiously, "I will certainly abide by my duties, but I am afraid I might be careless. Master, can you give me an example of how I might overstep the bounds and have you drive me away?"
The Duke of the State: "Do you know a good concubine?"
Jasmine nodded.
The Duke said with a sour face, "When Concubine Liang was in the Qiandi Palace in her early years, she was just a concubine. Whenever Your Majesty went to find another concubine, Concubine Liang would threaten to hang herself. As a result, Your Majesty only has one eldest prince now. This is beyond the rules."
Jasmine nodded repeatedly and raised her hand to assure him, "Master, rest assured. I know my position and will never disobey my superiors. When the mistress comes home, I will serve her wholeheartedly. I only wish to live a peaceful life in a quiet corner."
The Duke nodded in satisfaction. He thought to himself, if Concubine Liang had also realized this, His Majesty would not have resorted to such tragedies.
The Duke feels sad for His Majesty.
Fortunately, Your Majesty has not been so bewitched by the vixen that he loses his sense of right and wrong. Your Majesty is still a good Majesty.
The Duke felt very lucky again.
