Don't like children
"Hurry up and get up... You, you're so heavy!"
Jing Yao deliberately avoided answering his question, and held his cheeks to the side with his soft hands.
Si Pei was not a fool, so he could naturally see that she was trying to avoid the topic, but he still refused to give up the idea of getting an answer from her. He pretended to stand up and sit beside her, frowning and lowering his eyes, looking extremely aggrieved.
The girl's eyes tilted to the side, and she scolded, "Last night, you knew I hadn't eaten anything, but you still tormented me for so long. Now I tell you to get up and stop pressing on me, and you're still complaining?"
Jing Yao wasn't one to give in, and the fact that he was facing Si Pei only intensified his anger. He quickly got out of bed and threw his robe over himself. "I'm too lazy to talk to you about this. I need to get up, wash up, and eat!"
Jing Yao said to the door, "Zhiyue Boyue, come in and serve me."
After saying that, he walked towards the bathhouse without even glancing at Si Pei who was hesitant to speak on the bed.
Jing Yao couldn't stand it any longer as soon as he lowered the bathtub curtain. His body almost went limp. He quickly stripped off his clothes and got out of the pool.
She felt sore and tired all over, as if she was about to be torn apart by five horses and then the ropes were untied. Although she was not dead, her bones were really about to fall apart.
Although I cleaned myself up roughly last night, I still felt a little sticky and uncomfortable when I woke up today. This is my first time having sex, so I'd better wash it again to feel more comfortable.
Jing Yao sank the whole body below her head into the pool. The water, which was always hot all year round, embraced her sleepy body, making her feel particularly comfortable.
She squinted her eyes and leaned her head against the edge of the pool to avoid choking on the water. After soaking for a while, she still didn't see the maid come in and was about to urge her to come in, but she heard the sound of the curtain being lifted and closed behind her, which stopped her anger.
"Why are you so slow?" Jing Yao frowned, "Come here and massage my shoulders."
The person who came remained silent, but he could hear footsteps approaching him.
Although Jing Yao couldn't see with his eyes closed, his mind was very active and he immediately guessed who this "maid" was.
When the massaging hand was about to touch Jing Yao's fair and naked shoulder, she suddenly reached out and grabbed the wrist of the person behind her, then dodged to the side and pulled the person into the pool.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The girl let out a sharp laugh of triumph. The man was suddenly pulled into the water but was not too panicked. He was obviously proficient in swimming. He quickly surfaced and took a deep breath. He raised his hand to lift away the wet hair that was stuck to his face, revealing Si Pei's handsome face.
He was caught off guard for a moment and didn't expect to be recognized so quickly. He lost his balance and was pulled down.
"Xiao Li, why did you sneak in?"
Jing Yao asked knowingly, saying that Si Pei also liked to bathe with her in his previous life, but at that time she wanted to drown him in the water.
But it has to be said that bathing together is indeed a good way for men and women to enhance their relationship.
It's also very sentimental.
Moreover, her angry look just now must have made Si Pei worried, so he sneaked in specially. His purpose was too obvious.
Si Pei wanted to make her happy but ended up being teased. However, he was not annoyed. As long as Yao Yao was happy, that was all that mattered.
but……
"Come and massage Yaoyao's shoulders." Si Pei slowly moved closer to Jingyao. The two of them leaned against each other in the hot water, and their body temperatures rose a little higher. "I didn't realize Yaoyao wasn't tired at all, and still had the strength to pull me down."
In his mind, Jing Yao has always been a person as weak as the wind and as soft as the cloud. She cannot be lifted or carried by the hands or shoulders, and he cannot say a harsh word to her. She is a treasure that will break if he doesn't hold her in his arms.
But now it seems that he underestimated Yao Yao, as she still had such strength after the pleasure last night.
Jing Yao snorted coldly. How could she be as fragile as Si Pei thought? But he was worried every day, how could he not have wild thoughts?
Her phoenix eyes were filled with a hint of charm, and the words she uttered in her eyes left Si Pei speechless: "Oh? That might be because your legs are too weak."
"Let's ask the kitchen to make some nourishing soups." Jing Yao said with a look of genuine concern for him. "The South China Sea has been sending in a lot of oysters as tribute lately. Xiaoli, you can eat more."
The more she cared about Si Pei, the hotter her face became. She even laughed out of anger and held the girl in her arms: "Yaoyao, do you think I'm not good enough?"
"I didn't say that. You should ask the imperial physician about this, right?"
Jing Yao showed a clumsy expression of surprise, but couldn't help laughing in his heart.
Seeing that Si Pei was about to burst into red, Jing Yao finally put away his playful intentions and stopped teasing him: "If I had known it was you, I would have pulled you down to bathe with me, wouldn't it be better?"
Jing Yao reached out and undressed him: "It's all wet, it's uncomfortable sticking to my body."
The white jade fingertips, as sharp as scallion roots, slid from the side of his neck to his chest along with the water droplets. Si Pei's breathing became more rapid and heavy, and he seemed to be unable to control it.
"ah!"
Jing Yao cried out in pain, looking at his slender wrist that was tightly grasped, his eyes filled with tears of grievance: "What are you doing!"
Seeing this, Si Pei quickly let go, holding Jing Yao's wrist with both hands and blowing gently: "Yaoyao, I was confused just now. If you are angry, hit me hard to vent your anger..."
"I won't hit you." Jing Yao said coquettishly, "My hand will hurt even if I hit you."
She knew that Si Pei had just done this to stay awake because he couldn't stand her teasing anymore.
She wasn't really angry, just startled.
Si Pei also knew that she was deliberately teasing him, so he naturally wouldn't blame her. They had been doing it for a long time last night, and although he was inevitably aroused now, he held back in order not to hurt Yao Yao.
Jing Yao only likes to tease people with words. He is well aware of his own physical condition and dares not tease Si Pei, who is patiently enduring in front of him. He just kisses his cheek and says, "Xiao Li, let's finish this quickly and go out. I'm hungry."
Si Pei held the girl's soft waist and nodded gently: "Okay, I already told the kitchen before I came in."
It’s almost time to have dinner if you go out at this time.
In the end, the two of them called in palace servants to serve them. Jing Yao, who felt much more comfortable after taking a bath, sat limply on the cushion beside the couch. Her hair was still wet, so she let it hang loose and Bo Yue dried it for her.
The physical exertion was so great that Jing Yao rarely felt truly hungry. The kitchen prepared all her favorite dishes, and Jing Yao was so tempted that she actually ate an extra bowl of rice than usual.
"Huh...feeling so good."
Jing Yao rubbed his lower abdomen with one hand and supported himself with the other hand, leaning back slightly to make his swollen belly feel more comfortable.
"Yaoyao has a good appetite today." Si Pei sat down next to her with a smile and said meaningfully, "It seems that this kind of thing still has many benefits."
Jing Yao glanced at him and thought to himself that he ate more because he ate less yesterday, so why did he always want to find some plausible excuses for doing that?
Seeing that Jing Yao ignored him, Si Pei didn't think anything of it. Instead, he turned his attention to Jing Yao's slightly bulging belly.
Before she could react, Si Pei's hand had already covered her, gently and soothingly massaging her.
Since he was willing to help, Jing Yao didn't intend to reject his kindness. He let go of his hand and let him do everything.
Si Pei was hardworking and conscientious, but the more he pressed, the more he couldn't help but think of other things. He stared at the bulge and felt that this scene was very much like Jing Yao was pregnant and he was helping to massage her.
He didn't know how he started to imagine this kind of scene that he had never imagined before. In the past, Yao Yao was cold to him, and he couldn't even get close to Yao Yao, let alone the child.
Being able to be so close to Yao Yao now is already a blessing, and he actually dared to think about these things.
To be fair, Si Pei didn't like children, even to the point of disgust. Both his teenage self and Si Jue's childhood brought him deep, painful memories. He knew he couldn't face these children at all, let alone educate and raise them.
Besides, he and Yaoyao finally reconciled and became friends, so a child would only be a burden.
But he was also afraid that Jing Yao would like it, so Si Pei asked cautiously: "Yao Yao, do you like children?"
Jing Yao almost blurted out: "I don't like it."
She sat up from Si Pei's arms and looked him in the eyes seriously: "Don't even think about this kind of thing."
Jing Yao would never let anything come out of her stomach in her life.
Si Pei rarely saw her serious look, and nodded quickly: "Then I feel relieved."
Jing Yao snorted coldly, replied "That's better than not", and leaned into the arms of the person behind him again, but he didn't feel very happy in his heart.
Even if Si Pei really didn't like children now, he would still need an heir when he ascended the throne. If she didn't give birth, there would be plenty of people to give birth to him. By then, with three harems and six courtyards, who knows how many descendants he would have.
Si Pei promised that he would only have her in this life, but neither in the past life nor in this life did they live to see Si Pei ascend the throne. Who can guarantee that he will not change his mind after becoming emperor?
Emperors are the most ruthless. Since they have supreme power, it is not uncommon for them to be moody and change their orders every day.
Not to mention the distant past, isn’t the emperor who is still paralyzed in bed today a living example?
Jing Yao didn't want to speculate about Si Pei's true feelings in such a vicious and harsh way from the bottom of her heart, but they were all people who were used to the bloody struggles for interests in the palace, so she had to think of the worst outcome so that she could arrange a way out for herself in the future.
Her aunt had told her that even if she enjoyed great honor and favor for a while, when her beauty faded and her love waned, she would be nothing but dirt under the feet of the new husband.
She leaned gently on Si Pei's shoulder. If that day ever came, she would ask Zuo Yuanwu to help send her out of the palace so that Si Pei would never find her again.
No, if Si Peizhen had a new love, he would definitely not have time to look for her, so there would be no need to be afraid and hide.
"What is Yaoyao thinking about?"
Si Pei didn't know why, but he could see a hint of sadness in her eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, the words disappeared and he returned to his usual chuckle. "Nothing, just remembering a dream I had."
"What dream?"
Si Pei was very curious about everything about her, no matter how big or small, and always liked to listen to her quietly.
Jing Yao lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then shook his head: "As soon as you ask, I forget again."
Seeing this, Si Pei stopped asking questions and said, "Then tell me when you remember it."
She nodded slightly in agreement. Jing Yao still lied to him. She had not forgotten that dream. It was something she had in her previous life.
Eventually, she returned to the north and opened a restaurant, which was incredibly prosperous. Everyone called her Fairy Yao Lady, praising her as a fairy sent from heaven. Si Pei, the restaurant's accountant, would pick a chrysanthemum flower every day for her.
Because in the dream, the outside of the building was full of Cyperus rotundus planted by Si Pei.
This dream was so bizarre that I never expected to remember it again in this lifetime.
Jing Yao smiled self-deprecatingly and stopped thinking about it.
There are more important things right now—
Three days later, Chunshu Banquet.
