Passion
There was silence in Yilan Palace for a long moment. Wen Rencuo stood there, staring at the person in front of him for a long time until Zuo Yuanwu beside him coughed lightly and spoke, "Your Highness."
Wen Rencuo only then realized how rude his behavior was. Although he was a wild and rough military commander, he still knew the basic etiquette as he came from a noble family.
Zuo Yuanwu bowed and said, "I have come to pay my respects to Your Highness. If Your Highness has no further instructions, I will take my leave."
Si Pei was just waiting for Zuo Yuanwu to decide to leave. If possible, he didn't want Zuo Yuanwu to see Jing Yao at all.
"In that case, General Zuo, please go back first."
Since Zuo Yuanwu wanted to leave quickly, it couldn't be considered as him chasing him away. Si Pei was in a good mood and waved his hand leisurely to let him go.
"yes."
Zuo Yuanwu was about to leave when his eyes suddenly fell on Wen Rencuo who was standing beside him.
Si Pei and Jing Yao's attention was naturally attracted to her. Wen Rencuo could only see Jing Yao's beautiful eyebrows and green eyes. Those auspicious phoenix eyes were so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes away.
Jing Yao, who was being watched, was not so dull as to fail to notice Wen Rencuo's inexplicable emotions. There was a 90% chance that this boy was attracted to her.
Jing Yao just felt a headache.
To be honest, she had completely forgotten about this person since the incident at Yushan Bookstore that day. If he hadn't come to her door today, she really didn't remember provoking him.
In her previous life, she had never seen Wenren Cuo. She only heard that this person had different views from Si Peizheng and did not get along well with the prince's party.
When Si Jue started his rebellion, he did not hear any information about the Wen family blocking the rebels. Jing Yao guessed that Wen Rencuo must have brought the entire Wen family to join Si Jue.
Rather than supporting a prince who is very likely to liquidate his family's enemies after coming to power, perhaps supporting a prince who has nothing to ascend the throne will be more beneficial for the Wen family to consolidate the family's status.
Thinking of this, Jing Yao felt even more disgusted with the man in front of him who did not hide his gaze.
She has no good feelings towards anyone who directly or indirectly caused the bloody night in the East Palace in her previous life.
Jing Yao turned her head and leaned against Si Pei's chest, her arms wrapped around the young man's slender waist. She didn't seem to care at all that there were outsiders here. She just closed her eyes and acted coquettishly: "I'm tired."
Seeing this scene, Zuo Yuanwu lowered his head and quickly left Yilan Palace.
Si Pei was caught off guard by the sudden arrival of a tender and beautiful woman in his arms. He was filled with ecstasy, but when he caught a glimpse of the stunned outsider still standing there, he felt unhappy. "General Wenren, is there anything else?"
Wen Rencuo reacted in shock. His tone was calm, but his breathing was rapid. "I want to apologize to Madam Jing in person."
His excuse was really cliché, but Jing Yao still turned his head and looked at him kindly.
From Wen Rencuo's perspective, she was lazily nestled in Si Pei's arms, the man's arm barely halfway around her slender waist...
He didn't dare to think any more: "It was my fault that I misunderstood you that day."
"Ahahaha..." A clear laugh rang out from the girl's throat, like a nightingale. She raised her head slightly and looked at Wen Rencuo: "I thought it was nothing. I told you that day that I wouldn't take it to heart. General Wenren is thoughtful. I will accept the gift, and I have heard your apology."
Jing Yao had a smile on his face, but there was an inexplicable hint of coldness in his eyes.
The feeling of alienation that came over him seemed to tell Wenrencuo that the owner of the smile was pretending to be kind and didn't want to see him.
I hope he'll have some sense and leave quickly.
"It's just a small gift. I'm honored that Madam Jing is willing to accept it despite past grudges."
Wen Rencuo no longer had the arrogance he had towards her and Si Pei before, and became much more humble.
It seemed as if he was trying hard to leave a good impression on Jing Yao in the end.
"Your Highness, I will take my leave now."
When Wen Rencuo turned to Si Pei, his attitude became unusually cold and arrogant again.
Jing Yao stood on tiptoe to watch his departing figure. Si Pei felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He forcibly held Jing Yao's face with both hands and turned her gaze back to himself: "Don't look at him."
Jing Yao quickly slapped his hand away: "You're pressing on my face, let go."
Si Pei immediately let go of his hand. Jing Yao found it funny to see him looking aggrieved but not daring to speak for fear of offending her: "I didn't really look at it, and I didn't have any other thoughts on it."
She reached out and patted his cheek, as if she was teasing a small animal.
Jing Yao and Zuo Yuanwu had been enjoying the breeze in the garden for a long time today. Now that he had just returned to the warm inner court, he was indeed a little tired.
Next to the desk was a chaise longue for temporary rest. The girl lazily lay on it, looking at the young man who seemed to be paranoid with a bit of amusement: "Don't worry, I don't like Wen Rencuo. In fact, I hate him."
Si Pei's expression visibly relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He even put on a gentle smile, "Yaoyao hates him? Why?"
Jing Yao smiled at his gloating expression. She couldn't possibly reveal the real reason, so she feigned a complaint: "Do I even need to ask? He was so rude in the bookstore, fighting with his brother without explanation. A-Wen, a little girl, was terrified beside him, and he didn't even show any sympathy. He even argued with me. I must be disgusted with him."
She really wasn't talking nonsense. In fact, part of the reason she was angry was because of Wen Rencuo's rudeness.
"Then why did you accept their gifts and say you forgave them?"
Si Pei sat beside her and poked the girl's puffy cheeks, but his smile was full of indulgence and doting.
"Less trouble is worse than more trouble." The girl grabbed his ear and pulled him towards her face, whispering in his ear, "Your Highness, do you understand?"
If she doesn't forgive him and let the matter go after he comes to her house, but continues to be angry, wouldn't that give Wenrencuo the opportunity to contact her in the future?
By then, who knows how many times he would come to the East Palace to "apologize" based on this matter, and he could also use it to talk to her.
Wen Rencuo's thoughts were almost glued to her face. How could he not know such simple truths?
Si Pei's smile deepened when he heard this, and Jing Yao immediately realized the boy's bad intentions.
"You did this on purpose, didn't you?" Jing Yao stopped twisting his ears and pinched his cheeks with both hands. "Do you like hearing this?"
Si Pei wanted to laugh but didn't dare to because of her pinching. He looked at the girl with sparkling eyes and nodded seriously.
"like."
I like it very much.
How could Si Pei not see what Wenrencuo was thinking? He just wanted to hear Jing Yao's answer.
He could hear her attitude from those words.
Si Pei believed that Jing Yao really didn't like Wen Rencuo.
"Xiao Li, you are so scheming."
Jing Yao rubbed his face to vent his anger.
Si Pei didn't deny it either, he just lowered his eyes and looked at her: "I'm so suspicious and scheming, does Yao Yao hate me and is afraid of me?"
His words did not sound like a joke, but rather revealed his true feelings.
Looking at his smiling but nervous eyes, Jing Yao suddenly felt that he was not as cold as she had imagined, and he was not really expressionless.
Jing Yao was lost in thought, feeling that he seemed to be better at reading people's expressions than in his previous life after living again.
Or maybe she just deliberately didn't try to understand Si Pei's emotions in her previous life and ignored all his feelings.
Jing Yao blinked. It was not her fault. In her previous life, Si Pei had not really paid attention to what she was thinking.
Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, Si Pei forced a smile: "There's no point in being afraid."
There was a hint of obscurity in his eyes: "I won't let you leave me."
Jing Yao was distracted when he noticed that Si Pei in front of him looked unhappy, as if he had gone mad in his previous life. He quickly held his hand and said, "I'm not afraid."
Almost instantly, Si Peiding stood still: "What?"
Jing Yao sat up from the chaise longue and answered him word by word: "I said I will not be afraid of you, nor will I dislike you, and I will not leave you... um!"
The words she hadn't finished were cut off by the sudden kiss. Before her lips closed, his flexible soft tongue entered her mouth, and his sweet saliva caressed the tip of her tongue.
Si Pei's sudden kiss caught Jing Yao off guard. At first, she was able to struggle slightly by pressing her hands against the man's chest, but the deeper the kiss, the blanker Jing Yao's mind became. She forgot to think and struggle and slowly closed her eyes.
This kiss was more passionate than any other before, their breathing gradually becoming hot. At this moment, any words seemed superfluous, and no words were needed. Both of them were following the most primitive desires of their bodies.
Jing Yao hooked her hands around Si Pei's neck, her mind was a mess, and she seemed to be clamoring for something even more extreme.
Si Pei gradually became unsatisfied with just kissing, and his hand slid down to her waist. His kiss was wild and passionate, licking her chin and collarbone bit by bit.
The young man's hand had already grasped the girl's skirt, and with a gentle tug...
A loud "bang" broke the charming atmosphere. It turned out to be the sound of a copper vase rolling and hitting the ground in the outer room.
This sound also woke up Si Pei who was lost in thought. He suddenly wanted to get up, but forgot that Jing Yao's hand was still around his neck.
"ah!"
His hands reacted faster than his brain, and Si Pei subconsciously reached out and held the person firmly in his arms.
Jing Yao's lips were licked and kissed too much and even a little red and swollen, which made Si Pei uneasy. He tried to close his eyes and calm down, but his mind was filled with the scene of the two of them kissing.
The person in his arms was his most beloved woman. He had just tasted the flavor of her lips and teeth, and now she was nestled in his arms as soft and boneless as ever. It would be a lie to say that he had no reaction.
Si Pei is a normal man and doesn't consider himself a gentleman. At this moment, he can only take deep breaths repeatedly to suppress the evil thoughts in his heart.
But it wasn't just Si Pei who had a reaction. The passionate scene just now also made Jing Yao somewhat emotional.
Her body in this life is innocent, but she has all the memories of her previous life and Si Pei.
When Si Pei brought her back to the East Palace, Jing Yao rolled down the hillside and was contaminated by some strange plants. Every time the wound hurt, her whole body became hot.
The imperial physician diagnosed that she had been poisoned by a mild love poison, which was not serious and could be cured by taking a few doses of medicine. However, Si Peifei made it sound like she had an incurable terminal illness and that only he could cure it.
Jing Yao was very afraid of dying at that time, and he was also confused by the fever. In a fit of anger, he rushed forward without thinking.
After two whole days of hanging out together, the poison of love was completely removed, and Jing Yao also learned the truth from his subordinates.
She immediately had a big fight with Si Pei, wishing she could stab him again in the wound that had not yet healed.
In the following year, Si Pei and her quarreled almost every day, but they would always end up rolling around in bed.
Jing Yao hated Si Pei in his heart, a guy with a beastly face, but his body gradually became addicted to him.
Since Si Pei had not been poisoned by love in this life, he did not have the opportunity to go crazy for the time being, but he really could not find any suitable reason to take the next step.
Jing Yao was stunned. Why was she really looking forward to such a thing?
She looked away awkwardly: "I... want to take a shower."
"Um."
Si Pei only responded with a very short and hoarse sound, as if he was trying hard to endure it.
Jing Yao looked at how painful it was for him to endure, and suddenly felt a sense of gloating joy in his heart.
It’s rare to see Si Pei feeling so aggrieved nowadays.
But he has really restrained himself a lot these days, and she just thought Si Pei was really going to do it to the end.
If it were Si Lihong from his previous life, even if the vase was not knocked over accidentally but Eunuch Ming came to report it, he would have asked someone to get out and wait, and then continue.
Jing Yao was angrily surprised to find that she was recalling the things from her previous life again!
What's there to think about?
It would be nice if Si Pei was so obedient, gentle and considerate now.
I just wonder if he will be fierce then...
Ahhhh!
Jing Yao gritted her teeth, blaming Si Pei. If he hadn't touched her for no reason, she would never have thought of that kind of thing.
After all, Si Peidu was ill and he definitely couldn't do such a thing. In addition, she didn't know how long it had been since the last time he did that during these days of rebirth.
Jing Yao blushed and got down from Si Pei's arms: "You should go take a shower too."
"good."
Si Pei naturally had to go, and he couldn't wait to go right now.
But he also greedily wanted to see Jing Yao's shy expression a little longer.
Jing Yao didn't give him the chance and turned around and quickly went into the bathroom.
After a while, both of them finished bathing and washing, and leaned on the edge of the couch with a satisfied look.
The hot water made Jing Yao feel comfortable all over. She deliberately ignored the bad thing she did after sending the maid away, and leaned lazily in the man's arms.
Si Pei played with the strands of her long hair, leaning his head against hers to inhale the fragrance. They both tacitly agreed not to say anything, just taking a break as usual.
"Isn't Wenren Cuo guarding the northwest? When will he return?"
The reason why Jing Yao had never seen him in his memory was that he rarely appeared in Shanghua City and had little contact with the various aristocratic families.
“Not in the short term.”
Although Si Pei was not very happy about Wen Rencuo being mentioned at such a tender moment, he did not say anything, which just happened to suppress the overly ambiguous and restless atmosphere between the two of them.
"Why?"
Jing Yao just thought of the answer subconsciously after asking the question. The Wen family has more than one young master.
