As for the Crown Prince, she was not worried at all. As the Third Prince said, the Emperor would not allow the Crown Prince to marry a woman who would be of no help to him.
As night falls, the sky is dotted with countless twinkling little stars.
The figure in black clothes appeared again in Xu Jinyi's boudoir.
Unlike his previous happy expression, this time his face showed obvious unhappiness.
"What for? If you come here to give me a hard time, then don't come." Xu Jinyi sat in the bathtub, splashing water on her shoulders, and the water droplets slid down her fair skin.
Li Jinchen's eyes darkened as he looked at the woman in the bathtub, only her shoulders exposed.
The roses floating on the water blocked the looming body, and as Xu Jinyi watered the water, half of her breasts were revealed.
"Why are you standing there? Come here and help me wipe my back." Xu Jinyi threw the wiping cloth in his hand over without any hesitation.
His Adam's apple kept rolling and his desire kept rising. Taking a deep breath, Li Jinchen resigned himself to his fate and walked over to do something he had never done before.
Li Jinchen lifted up her waist-length hair, revealing her beautiful white back. His hand holding the sword was shaking slightly.
As he rubbed his back, beads of sweat appeared on Li Jinchen's forehead.
Xu Jinyi seemed unaware of the change in the man behind her and continued chatting as if nothing had happened.
"You didn't see how angry I was today, how the Third Prince's face turned green. He looked like a toad."
"He is just a concubine, yet he dares to act so arrogant in front of me. Do you think he is stupid?" This was also an explanation to him. He knew that this man's unhappiness must be due to the arrival of the third prince today.
Not hearing any words from the person behind him, nor any other movements, Xu Jinyi turned around in confusion.
Then she watched with sparkling eyes as the man took off his clothes one by one, revealing his strong chest and slender waist.
The eight neatly-shaped abdominal muscles at the waist and abdomen are clearly visible, which makes people's blood boil.
Thinking so, Xu Jinyi did just that.
Li Jinchen did not stop the little girl as she watched her hands curiously touching up and down, lighting fires everywhere.
He said in a hoarse voice, "I came here in a hurry today and haven't showered yet. It just so happens that you have some water here, so let's shower together."
Regardless of whether Xu Jinyi agreed or not, he strode in.
In the blink of an eye, the spacious bathtub suddenly became crowded, and Xu Jinyi's back was pressed against the edge of the bathtub.
Kneeling in the bathtub, Xu Jinyi leaned close to Li Jinchen's neck and took a deep breath: "It seems that you really haven't taken a bath."
Looking at the stinky man who remained calm, Xu Jinyi did not expose him.
Feeling the woman's soft body, Li Jinchen could hardly suppress his surging desire.
But Xu Jinyi was still adding fuel to the fire without knowing the consequences. Finally, Li Jinchen couldn't stand it anymore and picked up Xu Jinyi horizontally.
"Hey... haven't you taken a shower yet?" Xu Jinyi asked jokingly.
"Wash it later."
The curtain fell down, and Li Jinchen carried Xu Jinyi to the bed and pressed her down.
The big hands gently stroked Xu Jinyi's delicate little face, followed by a barrage of kisses.
Li Jinchen's kiss was particularly hot, and his calloused hands were frighteningly hot, causing goose bumps to appear on the places that were touched.
Panting rapidly, looking at Xu Jinyi, whose eyes were blurred and whose body was covered with marks, Li Jinchen felt like his body was about to explode.
Xu Jinyi, whose breathing had calmed down, looked at Li Jinchen with displeasure, and placed his fist on his chest.
"Are you going to give it to me or not?" Xu Jinyi pouted and said angrily.
What a nasty man, he always comes to start a fire and then never puts it out, which makes her so angry.
She has needs too!
Li Jinchen knew that she was also moved, so in order to appease the little woman, he...
After a long time, Xu Jinyi gasped with tears in his eyes, no longer looking as aggressive as usual.
Her face is rosy as if she has been moisturized.
Li Jinchen lay on his side, admiring her appearance at the moment.
Playing with a strand of her hair, Li Jinchen said, "Tomorrow, the imperial decree granting the marriage will come down, and our wedding will be in half a month."
Li Jinchen couldn't wait to marry her, and half a month was the fastest date he could get.
He felt that if he didn't marry her, he would explode sooner or later.
Xu Jinyi looked at him in surprise: "The Emperor agreed?"
Li Jinchen looked at her with a smile: "It's rare for a woman to be close to me. My father is very happy and asked me to take you to the palace to have a look."
Indeed, rather than letting his son remain a bachelor for his entire life, the emperor would rather have someone by his side who understands his well-being.
Although it is a pity that he cannot have children, it does not affect his ability to get married.
In fact, a few years ago, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager intended to give him several concubines, but he refused them all.
The emperor and the empress dowager were worried that he would never marry in his life, so when he asked to marry a woman.
There is no reason to disagree. Who cares about the woman's identity? As long as Li Jinchen likes her, it's fine.
"I really want to see my good sister's cuckolded face when the imperial edict arrives tomorrow. But she is going to marry as a concubine tomorrow, and I don't know if it will be too late." Xu Jinyi couldn't hide the little pride on her face.
"Don't worry, I'll ask Eunuch Hao to come early in the morning." Li Jinchen said, pinching her little face.
"Don't you think I'm bad?"
Lowering his eyes, Li Jinchen said, "Then you don't think I'm cruel?"
The two smiled at each other and understood.
Early the next morning, as the sun rose slightly, Xu Jiner made a big move.
Xu Jinyi sat in the garden, watching the busy crowd coming and going and chuckled.
"If you didn't know, you would think she was going to have a grand wedding."
Qiu Hua poured Xu Jinyi a cup of tea and said, "When the young lady gets married, it will definitely be much more glorious than it is now."
"That's natural."
Xu Jin'er has a good foundation, and as long as there is no comparison with Xu Jinyi, she can be considered a beauty.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Xu Jiner showed a satisfied smile on her face.
Aunt Wang walked in, sent someone away, and then took out an exquisite little box.
"Jin'er, this is the dowry your father gave me: 10,000 taels of silver and some jewelry."
Then he took out some silver notes from his pocket and said, "This is the money that mother has saved over the years, twenty thousand taels of silver notes."
"Take all of this to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and be frugal when spending it. Mother will find a way to get more money."
"Here are the deeds to two shops. I bought them two days ago. With these, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion won't dare to look down on you."
"Marry and live a good life. If you have any difficulties, come back and tell mother."
Xu Jin'er had no intention of listening to the rest of the words. She simply took the small box and counted the banknotes inside.
Thirty thousand taels of dowry was not a lot, but it was the first time in her life that she had received so much money, so she was still happy.
Aunt Wang was able to save more than 20,000 taels. It goes without saying that she had embezzled a lot of public money over the years.
After all, she was in charge of the mansion's expenses every month, so it was not surprising that she had saved tens of thousands of taels over the years.
