Chapter 91 Chapter 91 After more than ten days of separation, it feels like a newlywed...
From the 23rd of last month when he stayed at the cavalry camp until today, Ji Yanlang has not returned home. He only came home to pick up his luggage and bid farewell to his mother before leaving for Xijing, but he came and left in a hurry, and the couple did not say a few words to each other.
"You finally recovered some of your health, but you got tanned again." Fang Ying said with a smile as she wiped his freshly washed hair.
"Don't even mention it. I felt like I was being dried up like a dried fish on this journey. When I took off my clothes at the inn at night, salt grains fell off."
This is too much of an exaggeration. Fang Ying smiled but didn't say anything. She echoed, "It's the hottest time of the year, right after the summer solstice, and you're already out. The sun is scorching you."
"It's not just the sun, the ground is so hot my feet are burning, even the horses don't want to run." Ji Yanlang breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, I'm home."
There were icebergs in the room. He had just finished a bowl of watermelon ice and felt as comfortable as if he had just returned to earth from hell.
"No need to wipe it dry. It's hot and it's cool to just let it hang out like this." Ji Yanlang said again.
Fang Ying agreed, and seeing that the hair was no longer dripping, she brushed his long hair aside and went to wash her hands. She came back and sat down and said, "Third uncle and fourth uncle's transfer orders have been issued. Third uncle will be transferred to Yanmen, and fourth uncle to Sanjiao."
Ji Yanlang said, "They're separated, that's good. Then are the third and fourth sisters-in-law still going?"
"Mother said that the weather is scorching hot right now and I'm afraid I'll get heatstroke on the road. My third and fourth uncles also need to settle down. I'll make plans after they write to me."
"Yes. Besides, Yanmen is different from other places. Although my sister-in-law and her family can settle down in Daizhou, which is not far from Yanmen, the garrison may not be able to go back often."
"Don't mention it. My third sister-in-law cried when she heard that my third uncle was transferred to Yanmen."
Ji Yanlang was puzzled: "Why are you crying? Do you think it's hard? Being in the army is always hard?" Can he still rely on his father's support for the rest of his life?
"Outside Yanmen Pass is the territory of the Hu people. I'm afraid there will be a chance of a real fight."
Ji Yanlang hated to hear this. "If you only think about losing and not winning, there are always unexpected events. Bianjing must be infallible, otherwise why would the emperor want to move the capital?"
"Yes, that's why mother also said a few words to Third Sister-in-law. I think she just doesn't want to go, but she can't say it out loud."
Ji Yanlang sneered and was too lazy to judge his third sister-in-law anymore.
Fang Ying also felt that there was nothing more to say about this matter, so she turned and asked, "Have you entered Xijing City?"
"I stayed in the city for one night, but unfortunately I didn't have time to go out and explore. Luoyang does have the style of an ancient capital, and it's much larger than Bianjing. No wonder the emperor is interested in it."
Ji Yanlang then went on to talk about the return journey. "He Guozhang was summoned to escort the bride and traveled with us. He was very polite on the way, treating us to delicious food and drinks. He also asked about our family background. Afterwards, he came to me alone and said that according to my grandmother, I should call him my cousin."
Fang Ying smiled and said, "This is the third time I've heard of this relative since the emperor issued the decree to establish a queen."
"One time it was my mother, right? And who was it the other time?"
"Sister Zhou. Have you forgotten? Madam Zhou and my grandmother are the real cousins."
"Oh... yes! The emperor mentioned that." Ji Yanlang remembered, "But my grandmother also has many relatives. Although Jin Liezu usurped the throne of Qi, he did not massacre the former Qi royal family. It's just that we have always lived in Shu and have no contact with them."
Not to mention these people, even his maternal grandmother, Princess Changning, had died when Ji Yanlang was born. The Former Qi State had long been replaced by the Jin State, and his maternal grandfather had proclaimed himself king. He grew up in the Shu Palace, so how could he know these relatives?
But since He Renquan took the initiative to show goodwill, Ji Yanlang would not refuse the new father-in-law's face and actually called him uncle.
"Calling him cousin is like getting a good marriage for free. I don't think it's a loss." Ji Yanlang joked deliberately when telling this to Li.
Li smiled, but said, "Now that they say that, you are not allowed to climb the pole."
"My son knows."
Li emphasized again, "Emperor Sejong was wary of his in-laws. Even when your grandmother was young, she rarely saw anyone from the He family."
Ji Yanlang was amused by his mother: "If you know what I said, it means that I don't want to get married to someone else and take advantage of him. If you don't know, you might think that we look down on this marriage."
Li gave her son a sidelong glance. Since he had just returned home, she didn't argue with him and simply ordered food to be served. Although she didn't really take the He family seriously—her mother was a princess, and she herself was also a princess. She had several close relatives who had served as emperors, so why would she rush to become such distant relatives?
Of course, Ji Yanlang didn't mean that. He just felt that if He Renquan took the initiative to establish a relationship with the Ji family, the two families could interact as relatives, which would not be a bad thing for the Ji family - their family's roots in this dynasty were still too shallow.
But there is no rush, it still depends on what Mr. He thinks.
After dinner, the couple returned to their room. After being apart for more than ten days, they felt like newlyweds and made a fuss for an hour before falling asleep.
This time when Ji Yanlang left home, Fang Ying was different from the past. She was really worried about him. When she was in her room, she always felt like there was someone missing to talk to. But he made such a fuss as soon as he came home, which made her feel a little painful when she woke up in the morning. The joy of reunion after a short separation disappeared without a trace.
Ji Yanlang knew that he was in the wrong, so he took advantage of the two days off given to him by the camp to search everywhere for some food that could cool him down and stimulate his appetite, and brought it back to coax Fang Ying.
But he is a very good person. During the day, he can be submissive and can be coaxed in any way. But at night, he is a completely different person.
He kept saying "I'll be gentle", but when the critical moment came he didn't care at all. Fang Ying said it hurt, but he didn't take it slow. Fang Ying was so angry that she wanted to sleep in a separate bed from him that night.
"My dear, please forgive me this time. I really miss you so much." Ji Yanlang hugged Fang Ying and begged for mercy.
"Miss me? Is that what you think? This is the first time I've heard someone only care about their own happiness and torture others because they 'miss you too much'." Fang Ying sneered, "I think you're either thinking about me or this matter."
Ji Yanlang was a little sleepy, and answered casually: "It's the same thing, okay, don't be angry..."
Fang Ying pushed him away and said, "What's going on? If you want to do this, you can do it with anyone. I'll arrange a concubine for you tomorrow. You can do whatever you want, but don't torture me."
Finally realizing that Fang Ying was truly angry, Ji Yanlang was stunned for a moment before leaning over and whispering, "Does it really hurt?"
Fang Ying pushed him away again and said angrily, "What else? Am I just teasing you?"
"Ah... I thought..." Ji Yanlang scratched his head and admitted his mistake, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it really hurt."
Fang Ying refused to believe it and sneered, "Didn't you think it really hurt? So you mean I was pretending to be in pain? Why would I do that?" Saying it hurt would not only fail to win his warmth and consideration, but would only make things worse. She must be crazy to pretend on purpose.
"I thought it was a boudoir..." Ji Yanlang's word "interest" was on the tip of his tongue, but he finally realized that this reason was not quite right, so he quickly swallowed it back, but he couldn't think of anything else to say.
Fang Ying looked at his expression and asked suspiciously, "What about boudoir?"
"Uh, it's nothing. It's my fault anyway." Ji Yanlang took his wife's hand and coaxed her in a low voice, "I really know this time. I will never do it again. It's getting late..."
Fang Ying suddenly understood, "You didn't think I was teasing you, did you?"
Ji Yanlang: “…”
"Really?" Fang Ying found it unbelievable. She shook off his hand and asked, "What kind of person am I in your heart that makes you think that way?"
Ji Yanlang himself was a little confused at this moment. Based on his understanding of Fang Ying, Fang Ying was indeed not the kind of delicate and tender girl who would cry out in pain at the slightest touch. If it didn't really hurt, given her temper, she would rather endure it than cry out.
But just now when his soul was floating in the sky, he was sure that she was just like what men say when they are drunk, wanting to resist but also wanting to accept, crying out in pain, but actually wanting men to be more aggressive.
These words turned around twice in his mind, and Ji Yanlang said with a shy look: "I just thought you would be different in bed..."
"Then you're wrong."
Fang Ying ignored him and asked Lichun to get a bamboo mat to spread on the couch in the outer room, then she went out to sleep.
Seeing that she was angry and it was indeed late, Ji Yanlang stopped arguing with her and lay down to sleep.
The two masters quarreled at night and slept in separate rooms, so when they woke up in the morning, the maids were inevitably very cautious.
Ji Yanlang got up early and finished practicing boxing and kicking. He noticed that the courtyard was unusually quiet. He walked into the room and smiled at Fang Ying who was washing her face, saying, "We two haven't done anything yet, but we scared them so much that we can't hear a single sound in the courtyard."
Fang Ying didn't want to pay any attention to him at first, but after wiping her face and looking around, she saw that the maids were indeed like quails, with their necks hunched. She said, "That's right. It hasn't happened yet, but it's showing on their faces. Come on, cheer up a bit and don't go out with such a gloomy face. The whole house will know about it."
The maids responded in unison, becoming more relaxed than before, but still not daring to laugh and joke as usual.
Ji Yanlang knew that the matter was not over yet. On the way to his mother's room for breakfast, he said to Fang Ying, "I really know I was wrong about what happened last night..."
"Why are you saying this at this time?" It was broad daylight and they were outside, so Fang Ying felt very embarrassed and annoyed.
"Okay, okay, I won't tell you. Let's go back to the room later and have a good talk about it, okay?" Ji Yanlang originally wanted to talk to her about this matter. "I may have taken some things for granted. Let's take this opportunity to talk it over so that I can change."
Fang Ying didn't quite believe he could really change, but she thought it would be good to talk about her dissatisfaction with him since the marriage was consummated, so she agreed: "Wait until I take care of the household chores."
So an hour later, the couple sent their servants away and sat in the room, talking face to face across a small table.
Ji Yanlang spoke first, admitted his mistake again, and stated that he would never make the same mistake again, otherwise he would let Fang Ying deal with him.
"Okay, that's what you said, I'll take note of it."
"I said it." Ji Yanlang emphasized again, and then said, "If there is anything wrong with me that makes you uncomfortable, please tell me."
"Then I'll be frank with you. You can't be angry."
"Why should I be angry?" Ji Yanlang said with a smile, "Just tell me."
Fang Ying picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "The first one was too strong." She didn't say much, just rolled up her sleeves and let him see the bruises on her arms.
“…” Ji Yanlang really didn’t think that he had squeezed her arm hard, so how could there be a bruise?
Fang Ying continued, "I pinched it the night before last." Without waiting for Ji Yanlang to reply, she continued, "Second, if you always bite people with your teeth, and you don't think it hurts, try biting yourself first."
Ji Yanlang: “…”
There were only these two points about sex. Fang Ying then went on to talk about sleeping positions. "I don't know if you're fighting in your dreams. You're either swinging your hands at me or hitting me with your legs. You're always trying to squeeze in closer to me. I asked for my turn to sleep outside, but you refused."
"..." Ji Yanlang couldn't hold back his expression and reluctantly replied, "Okay, I understand. After telling me the bad parts, tell me the good ones too, so that I can know how to change them."
Fang Ying was not prepared for this and was silent for a moment.
Ji Yanlang: "...Is there nothing I can do well?" He couldn't help but raise his hand to press the small table and move closer to Fang Ying. "It's impossible that we've consummated our marriage and haven't had a single moment to make you feel comfortable and happy, right?"
"..." Really not, but it was hard to say it directly. Fang Ying thought about it and asked, "Isn't this something that only men can feel comfortable and happy about?"
Ji Yanlang: “…”
