Chapter 90 Love
There is love on this side, and it is extremely pitiful on the other side.
The princess had just changed out of her wet clothes, and her lips were so cold that they had turned purple. In the middle of summer, she had someone light a charcoal brazier to warm them up.
Chu Li was in good health and had been soaking in the water longer than her, but his complexion was rosy and his voice was as loud as a bell.
But he was drunk and several people couldn't hold him down, so he was still wearing wet clothes and huddled next to the charcoal brazier to keep warm.
The princess was so confused at the moment that she didn't have any romantic thoughts at all.
She regretted it very much and gave leave to all the guards on duty in the mansion in advance.
Who could have expected that Chu Li, who usually looked polite, would become so stubborn that even eight bulls couldn't pull him back once he got drunk.
Just now, she was helping someone back to the room and passed by a lotus pond. Chu Li went crazy for some reason and insisted that this was an oasis in the desert and that she wanted to go down to drink water and take a bath.
She couldn't stop him and didn't want to bother with him anymore.
Who would have thought that he was not only crazy, but also stupid. He couldn't swim but insisted on going to the middle of the pond and almost drowned.
She couldn't bear to watch someone get into trouble, so she cursed and went to rescue him, almost exhausting herself to death.
Chu Li, on the other hand, looked silly and just smiled foolishly at her.
He smelled of water. The princess always liked cleanliness. She picked up the jade ruyi and tapped his shoulder, pointing to the charcoal basin on the other side. "Go over there and grill."
Chu Li opened his drunken eyes and not only did not move over as he was told, he also fell towards her, wetting her shoes and socks.
The princess pushed him for a long time and finally broke free. She angrily cursed him as a scoundrel, washed her feet, and went back to bed, leaving the charcoal basin to him.
Chu Li was used to being rough, his clothes were half wet, and he fell into a deep sleep as soon as he lay down.
He was used to getting up early for training, and woke up at daybreak.
When I opened my eyes, I found myself sleeping in a house with carved beams and painted rafters. There was a thick Persian carpet under me, and the charcoal basin was burning with the best silver charcoal. The air was filled with pleasant fragrance.
Chu Li stood up in confusion and pounded his head which was dizzy from the hangover. He really couldn't remember what happened after he got drunk.
The princess had always been a light sleeper. She had heard him get up long ago, but she lay in bed without moving. She only quietly lifted a corner of the quilt, revealing her graceful figure.
Although he was reckless, he looked around and saw many treasures that were only available in the palace. He was shocked when he remembered that Princess Le'an was also at the banquet yesterday.
He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and resigned himself to his fate as he lifted the layers of gauze curtains and walked into the inner room.
After passing the last gauze curtain, he stopped six or seven feet away from the bed and stared at the sleeping princess.
Her cherry lips were slightly parted, her breathing was shallow, and her shirt was slightly open, revealing a red mark on her collarbone.
Chu Li just felt dizzy and remembered some fragments intermittently. He thought that he had offended the princess because he was drunk and arrogant.
Just as he was feeling frustrated, the beauty on the bed opened her eyes.
He didn't have time to think, he immediately knelt on one knee and said loudly: "I have offended the princess and deserve death. Please punish me, princess."
The princess stood up slowly, walked barefoot to him, and lifted his chin. "Since I've already offended you, what's the point of apologizing?"
Chu Li gritted his teeth and promised frankly, "I will never deny my guilt, no matter how the princess punishes me, I will not hesitate."
The princess received his promise and a triumphant smile appeared on her lips.
"Well, I'll punish you, marry me!"
-------------------------------------
At the Lu Mansion, Jiang Ran slept until dawn, feeling sore all over, as if all his bones had been broken.
She tried hard to recall what happened yesterday, remembering that Lu Weiqing had been coaxing her to hold on a little longer, and she didn't know when he finally let her go.
Jiang Ran moved his fingers, and from his fingertips to his wrists and elbows, he felt sore and numb.
She struggled to turn sideways, supported herself on the bed with her elbows, and finally sat up.
"Taoli." She called out in a hoarse voice.
But then she saw a bony hand lift the bed curtain and hand a cup of warm tea to her mouth.
Jiang Ran rolled his eyes at the culprit and wanted to have the nerve to refuse to drink the tea.
However, my throat was dry and sore, so I accepted my fate and took two sips.
Lu Weiqing stared at her with a half-smile, and when he saw that she had finished drinking, he said, "Will you dare to get drunk again in the future? Are you feeling well?"
It would have been fine if he didn't mention it. Once he did, Jiang Ran would come to question him.
"If you hadn't come late, how could I have been drunk?" She put her hands on her hips and glared at him.
"I arrived at the agreed time, a quarter of an hour early." Faced with her questioning, Lu Weiqing was not at all flustered.
Jiang Ran then remembered that they had all arrived early.
"Besides this, you, you also took advantage of others' misfortune—"
"My back hurts now. Is it you who caused it?"
She didn't remember it clearly and thought Lu Weiqing did something else yesterday.
Unexpectedly, his expression changed instantly when he heard that. A faint light flashed in his eyes, and he looked straight at her like some kind of predatory animal.
Jiang Ran was a little uncertain after being stared at like that, and shouted stubbornly, "What are you going to do?"
Lu Weiqing didn't answer, but asked her softly, "Are you hungry?"
She shook her head blankly, and the next second he pressed her down on the bed.
Jiang Ran stretched out her hand to push him, but not only did she fail to move him away, he caught her trembling hand and placed it on his thin waist.
"Taking advantage of someone's misfortune? That's what it means."
Lu Weiqing lowered his head and pecked her lips lightly, then deepened the kiss in her panicked eyes.
She listened to the pounding heartbeat, unable to tell whether it was her own or his.
Lu Weiqing's Adam's apple rolled, and his right hand couldn't help but lift up the hair scattered on her temples, kissing the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, her pretty nose, her thin lips, behind her ears, her neck, and all the way down.
Jiang Ran felt his lower back go weak, and he was in a daze, not knowing where he was. He was being carried and controlled by him, like a fallen leaf, swirling and swirling in a stream.
…
Being tossed by the red waves until noon.
Jiang Ran really couldn't bear it anymore. His throat, which was already uncomfortable, was now completely hoarse.
Only then did she realize that Lu Weiqing was usually very restrained.
After taking a bath, Jiang Ran leaned against the soft pillow and let him feed her porridge spoonful by spoonful.
"You haven't eaten anything since early morning. Have some porridge to warm yourself up first."
Lu Weiqing just ignored her and made her angry, but now she knows how to coax her.
Jiang Ran drank a few sips listlessly and then remembered something.
She lowered her head and thought for a while, but still felt that she should tell Lu Weiqing.
"I'll ask someone to get you some medicine later."
Both of them couldn't help themselves just now. She didn't regret it, but she was not ready for a child.
"No need." Lu Weiqing denied it without hesitation.
Her heart skipped a beat. He had said before that he would respect her wishes, but now...
"I got the men's medicine from Chen Que and took it beforehand."
Lu Weiqing said lightly, and scooped up another spoonful of porridge to feed her.
