Jing Zhe pulled Zhu Xinning closer and whispered, "For you, what does it matter if I have to go against the whole world?"
These seemed to be the best words of love. After hearing them, Zhu Xinning's body became uncontrollably hot, her eyes were filled with seductive charm, and her hands tightly wrapped around Jing Zhe's waist.
"Zhe'er, want...me..."
With that fragrant breath on his chest, Jing Zhe couldn't remain calm no matter what he tried...
So he pulled the blanket over himself and climbed onto the bed...
That's understandable. After all, she didn't practice martial arts and was much weaker than Wang Yingqiu. Plus, she had just lost her virginity twice in a row. How could she withstand Jing Zhe's fierce body and attacks?
Worried that Zhu Xinning would suffer too much, Jing Zhe only tried a small part.
Zhu Xinning collapsed onto him, panting heavily, and said, "Zhe'er...you...you're amazing! It seems like I really can't do it alone!"
"hey-hey!"
Jing Zhe chuckled mischievously and said deliberately, "Xin'er, you're wrong. It's not that I'm too good. It's just that you've only just lost your virginity. Once you've recovered, I'll take you all night long!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xinning's legs went weak again.
This time, however, I was scared.
She knew her own body best, and she knew that even if she recovered, she probably wouldn't be able to withstand Jing Zhe, so she shook her head and said, "I can't... I won't stop you anymore, but you have to remember, you can't abandon me!"
Ultimately, although the relationship changed, it was still closer than before. Zhu Xinning's concern for Jing Zhe grew stronger and stronger. She couldn't bear to see Jing Zhe suffer, but she couldn't bear it herself, so she always sought help from her sisters.
But she still opposes someone like Su Mochen—unless she can give up her princess status and marry into the Jing family, instead of letting Jing Zhe become a prince consort!
"Well, since Xin'er has said so, I can only respectfully accept her offer!"
Jing Zhe chuckled, feeling incredibly satisfied.
Unexpectedly, everything was resolved in just one night, and he even had a breakthrough with Zhu Xinning, which put him in a great mood.
However, Zhu Xinning still reminded him, "Zhe'er, when it's just the two of us, you can do whatever you want... but when there are outsiders, you still have to treat me like your second sister!"
Ultimately, it was the fear of public opinion that mattered. The impact on Jing Zhe's career was secondary; the biggest concern was that he might get hurt.
Jing Zhe nodded and kissed her on the forehead.
"Don't worry, Xin'er, I will become stronger and stronger. Before long, I will be able to make you my woman openly and legitimately!"
"Um…"
Upon hearing Jing Zhe's promise, Zhu Xinning sweetly hummed in agreement, feeling that no matter what, it was all worthwhile.
...
Because the two of them woke up so early, when it was barely dawn.
He had to attend court today, so Jing Zhe, having finished his tender moment with Zhu Xinning, got out of bed.
"Xin'er, don't go to court today. I'll tell His Majesty you're sick. You can rest at home and wait for me to come back, okay?"
Zhu Xinning, being a virgin, endured his repeated attacks, and today she would probably have difficulty even getting out of bed, so Jing Zhe wanted her to rest more.
Zhu Xinning nodded, because she also felt the pain in her lower body, which was not pleasant.
But seeing Jing Zhe getting dressed, she prepared to get up, but the pain was so intense that she knelt on the edge of the bed before she could even stand up, unable to move.
Jing Zhe quickly helped her up, saying somewhat reproachfully, "Didn't I tell you to lie down? Why did you get up again?"
"I want to dress you..."
Even when she was his second sister, Zhu Xinning would help Jing Zhe get dressed. Now that she's his woman, this is the kind of work she should be doing.
"These aren't urgent!"
Jing Zhe smiled and tried to help her lie down: "Aren't you feeling unwell right now? You can put it on me when you feel better."
"no!"
Zhu Xinning held her head high, looking somewhat stubborn.
"I'm going to dress you!"
"..."
Seeing that Zhu Xinning seemed determined not to let him leave until he was dressed, Jing Zhe had no choice but to compromise. He squatted down by the bed and helped Zhu Xinning put on her clothes and tie them up while she sat down. Only then was Zhu Xinning satisfied.
"Xin'er, I'll go cook some porridge for you first, then I'll go to court. You wait for me at home!"
"No need, Zhe'er, Xiangru must have been brought along."
As he spoke, he pointed outside.
Jing Zhe thought about it and agreed. Xiang Ru was such a clever girl; even if she hadn't brought it, she could still make it on the spot.
So he went over and laid Zhu Xinning down, covered her with a blanket, and then gave her a light kiss on the forehead.
"Xin'er, wait for me to come back."
"Okay, let's go quickly!"
So, Jing Zhe came out of his house.
As before, the Prime Minister's carriage had been waiting outside for a long time, and the maid Xiangru was also there. She was a little surprised to see that Zhu Xinning had not come out with Jing Zhe.
"Young master, where is my young lady? Isn't she going to court with you?"
"Your young lady is not feeling well and will not be attending court today. Why don't you go in and keep her company?"
"oh."
Where's Hanhan?
Jing Zhe looked around but couldn't find Hanhan anywhere, so he asked curiously.
"Oh, him? I was afraid he'd come back and cause trouble, so I sent him straight to the newspaper office. By the way, is Miss staying here tonight too? I told Hanhan not to come back tonight either, just go straight to the Prime Minister's residence!"
Upon hearing this, Jing Zhe almost wanted to give Xiang Ru a thumbs up; she was just too good at handling things.
So he laughed and said, "Okay, did you agree, silly boy?"
"No. He said he's staying at the newspaper office and won't be coming back."
"..."
Jing Zhe indicated that he understood and prepared to board the carriage. Xiang Ru lifted the food box in her hand and said, "Then young master, please take some food with you on the way!"
"No need, just give it to your young lady."
"..."
...
Jing Zhe first had the driver stop by the newspaper office to pick up two members from the current affairs department, and then they went to the palace together.
Starting today, it will become the norm for the Current Affairs Department to hold court sessions.
Upon arriving at the palace gates, a group of ministers had already gathered outside. When they saw Jing Zhe alight from his carriage, they all surrounded him, startling him.
After thinking about it, I roughly understood why they had come.
Nine times out of ten, it's because of the story of the monkey.
It was one thing for these people to gather around, but even King Xiang came along, which shows just how captivating this story was!
"President Jing is here!"
The group exchanged pleasantries before getting straight to the point.
"President Jing, what exactly happened to that monkey?"
"Yeah, we can't keep being suppressed like this forever, can we?"
"Is President Jing going to make that monk the main character later on?"
"President Jing, I have to tell you in advance, as long as the monkey can come out, everything else is negotiable. But if the monkey doesn't come out, and you still put a monk as the main character, be careful we don't abandon the newspaper!"
"..."
