Chapter 210 Moonlight Boat (14)
Those eyes were no longer calm, but were filled with endless darkness.
Tears rolled down her eyes and she couldn't help humming.
Ji Rangzhou didn't kiss her. Instead, he ran his fingers through her hair, stroking her temples with his fingertips, staring at her expression.
After a long while, Ji Rangzhou hugged her tightly and wiped away the tears from her eyes. "Okay, go to sleep."
Mingyuelin moved his fingers, rested his forehead on his shoulder, his eyelids drooped, and he looked extremely tired.
Her voice was a little hoarse: "Thirsty."
Ji Rangzhou stood up, poured her a glass of water, then wrapped her in a thin blanket and carried her out to clean her up.
When Mingyuelin woke up the next day, he was a little confused and stared at the bed curtains.
Recalling what happened last night, she felt a little angry.
Ji Rangzhou came in from outside, lifted the bed curtain and sat beside her. Seeing that she seemed angry again, he rubbed her head.
"You're awake, why aren't you happy?"
He was a little out of control last night. Did he go a little too far?
Ming Yuelin turned her head to look at him, then turned her head away and snorted, "Why do you still call me Xiaolin? I already call you husband."
He just knew how to ask her to look at him, to call him, and to stare at her with eyes that seemed to want to eat her up, but the lady didn't even call out a word.
Ji Rangzhou laughed inwardly, "Madam, would you like to get up?"
Ming Yuelin, who was very easy to coax, turned her head back and glanced at him: "I can't get up."
Knowing that he was in the wrong, Ji Rangzhou picked her up and personally helped her dress.
After helping her put on her shoes, Ji Rangzhou put her down.
When she landed, she felt an uncomfortable soreness in her waist and legs, which was a bit difficult to describe. Mingyuelin sat back in his arms, arms around him.
Unhappy.
Seeing that she was angry again, Ji Rangzhou rubbed her head and said, "I'm sorry, I told my parents yesterday. I'll go and offer tea this afternoon."
The bright moon was setting, and he easily accepted the offer to serve tea in the afternoon.
The sisters-in-law at home also serve tea in the afternoon.
"Why are you rubbing your head? It's not like I have a headache." She raised her chin.
Ji Rangzhou placed his broad, warm palms on her waist, looked at her expression, and when he saw she frowned, he lessened his pressure.
Seeing him staring at her again, Ming Yuelin poked his chest, "Ji Gudong."
He responded, "What did you call me for, Madam?"
He didn't have any particular obsession with the term "husband," he just wanted to hear her call him that occasionally in bed. Ji Gudong had been hearing it for almost two years and was used to it. He automatically considered it her term of endearment.
Ming Yuelin withdrew her hand, nestled into his arms, and raised the corners of her lips, "Nothing."
A smile flashed across his eyes, and Ji Rangzhou changed his hand to rub her legs.
She is easy to coax.
After having breakfast and resting for an hour or so, Mingyuelin followed Ji Rangzhou to offer tea to the Duke of Fuguo, his wife and other elders of the clan in the afternoon. After offering tea, they returned to Sanyu Hall.
When they returned to their parents' home on the third day, the wife of the Duke of Fuguo prepared generous gifts and sent the two of them to the door.
As soon as Ming Yuelin saw Yuan Yuhe, he ran over and hugged her arms, "Mom, I miss you so much~"
Listening to her drawn-out syllables and sweet, naive words, Ji Rangzhou couldn't help but glance at her.
In front of him, she often looked angry, either really angry or pretending to be angry, asking him to coax her. It was not often that she acted like a spoiled child like this.
"Mother misses you too. Will you return to the Prince's Mansion this afternoon?"
Ming Yuelin rubbed Yuan Yuhe's shoulder and turned to look at Ji Rangzhou: "Do you want to go back? If you want to go back, go back alone."
Ji Rangzhou: "..."
"I'll go back with you tomorrow."
"Okay, you can go to court with big brother and the others tomorrow morning." It's nice to have company.
Ji Rangzhou nodded: "Yeah."
He turned around and told Xing Zhao to go back to the Fuguogong Mansion to get the court robes.
Seeing her reminiscing about the past with her sisters-in-law, Ji Rangzhou watched from the side, and occasionally chatted with Ming Zhaohuan, Ming Zhouqing and others.
After talking with the elders and having lunch, Ji Rangzhou followed Ming Yuelin to her Xianyunxuan.
The bright moon overlooks the vast sea, and the idle clouds yearn for the old mountain. This is where the name of her courtyard comes from.
This was the first time Ji Rangzhou entered her boudoir. Ming Yuelin took him around, then he took off his shoes, socks and outer clothes and lay down on the couch.
Ji Rangzhou took the thin blanket and covered her waist, "It's cool in autumn."
"I just took off my coat, so I'm not cold."
He sat next to her and hummed.
Ming Yuelin glanced at him, stretched out his foot and kicked him on the shoulder.
Ji Rangzhou held her ankle, rubbed it twice with his fingertips, and then put it back on the couch.
Ming Yuelin rolled his eyes, rolled half a circle, and put his feet on his legs again.
He reached out and put his arm around her waist, picked her up, and sat her down on the desk beside him, supporting his hands on her sides. "Aren't you tired of getting up so early?"
Mingyuelin loved painting, but she didn't go to her study often, so she moved a desk into her bedroom. Her bedroom was not small, so an extra desk didn't bother her.
"Fortunately, I'm not sleepy yet." She kicked his knee. "Why are you sitting here?"
Ji Rangzhou pinched her face and said, "Be a little coquettish."
"Hmm?" What kind of request is this?
He lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently, "I see you often act like a spoiled child to your mother-in-law."
Ming Yuelin couldn't help laughing when she heard that. She rested her forehead against his chest and laughed a few times, "Do you want me to act coquettishly towards you too?"
Ji Rangzhou said nothing.
But keeping silent is acquiescence.
Ming Yuelin grabbed his collar, pulled his head down, kissed him, and rubbed his head against his neck, "Husband~"
Ji Rangzhou's Adam's apple rolled slightly and his hands rested on her waist.
"Such a big reaction." Mingyuelin poked his face, "Hug me, husband."
I used to think that his reaction was too indifferent, but after we got married I realized that he was just pretending to be so nice.
It’s really easy to pretend.
She and her mother had complained before that her elder brother saw Sister Li like a wolf saw its prey, but in fact, Ji Gudong was no worse.
Ji Rangzhou turned his head to kiss her, but she dodged him.
"Kiss me again, but don't kiss me again and make me angry." The old man couldn't help but tease.
Ji Rangzhou was helpless and finally just touched her head.
Ming Yuelin instructed him: "Ji Gudong, carry me down."
"Yeah." Ji Rangzhou carried her directly to the bed, "Let's take a nap."
Ming Yuelin rolled onto the bed, leaving a spot for him. When he got on, she rolled into his arms again. "Tomorrow, do you want me to take you to court?"
"Um?"
"My eldest brother often asks Sister Li to take him to court. Do you want me to take you there?" Ming Yuelin held his face and kissed him.
It’s no wonder that Sister Li only looks at faces. A good-looking face is really pleasing to the eye.
"Yeah." Ji Rangzhou responded.
My brother-in-law is really very versatile. No wonder he was able to win my sister-in-law's heart soon after he came back.
"Then wake me up tomorrow morning." Ji Gudong got up very early, an hour earlier than her. He first went to exercise and then wrote a few calligraphy pieces to calm his mind.
"good."
The next morning, Mingyuelin got up and sent him to court, then strolled out to play with Shi Jianli for half a day before returning to his own courtyard.
When Ji Rangzhou came back from work, she was fiddling with the pots of flowers she had in the yard.
Hearing the sound of the servants bowing, Mingyuelin ran towards him and said, "You are back. I want to take the flowers I raised to the Fuguogong Mansion."
"Okay." Ji Rangzhou leaned over to catch her, picked her up, and corrected her: "Yes, the Duke of Anguo's Mansion is your home, and the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion is also your home. When you get home, use the word 'hui'."
"Okay, let's have dinner with Mom and Dad before we go back?"
"good."
Ming Yuelin looked up at him, and seeing the doting in his eyes, she smiled and kissed him, "Ji Gudong, you said you would love me forever and treat me well forever."
She seemed to understand why he insisted that she look at him. When his eyes were filled with her, her heart always softened.
Ji Rangzhou smiled and replied, "Yes, I will always love you and treat you well."
At this moment, the wind blows by, and there is still warmth in my arms.
