So I need to be on top!
Lin Zhian, marrying into a family, ancestral precepts.
Xiao Zhian was heartless and full of absurdities, turning Lin Huaiyin's mind into mush, and even making her pupils dilate.
"Yinyin?"
Xiao Zhian didn't get a clear response, so he untied Lin Huaiyin's quilt, wrapped himself in it, and hugged her small body tightly. "We are going to be together for life, but I know you would never want to leave your family. You don't need to stay in this cold palace of mine. Let me enter your family and become one of your many family members, okay?"
The gentle, penetrating voice was like a sacred elixir, soothing Lin Huaiyin's dazed eyes.
Xiao Zhian married into the family.
The Crown Prince, who was in charge of the state, became a son-in-law.
Lin Huaiyin had such delusions when she was drunk.
There were times when I was frightened by Old Madam Liu calling me "Your Majesty".
Would she truly put it into practice? Lin Huaiyin hadn't considered it. She had only briefly considered the idea of Xuan Ge marrying into Yu Li's family, but she rejected it on the spot and remained obedient.
A son-in-law who abandons his own clan to marry into another is despised by people. Xiao Zhian is the crown prince and not a madman. How could he possibly marry into another clan?
Rather than unrealistically fantasizing about Xiao Zhian marrying into the family, Lin Huaiyin was more conflicted and resistant to becoming a woman in the Crown Prince's palace.
Once she entered the Eastern Palace, she had no say in anything.
At first, she could argue that it was a test exchange, and that she had received a promise to kill Princess Pingyang before turning around and leaving.
Turning back was too difficult. Xiao Zhian's embrace was too warm and too tempting. His love was overwhelming, and she couldn't escape. She was willing to succumb, fall into his palm, and become his possession.
She bloomed for him in his palace, but before she could, and dared not, think about the future, she woke up from a deep dream, still in a daze. She never expected that Xiao Zhian would be such a scoundrel, bringing her another fantasy.
The dream was dazzling, like a sky full of fireworks, as if it were morning, with a clear blue sky and bright sunshine. The curtains and palace eaves disappeared, and Xiao Zhian pointed to the sky, showing her the starry river and promising to give her countless starlight.
It is beautiful, but it lacks authenticity; it is nothing more than a bubble, fleeting and ephemeral.
Is it really necessary to go to such lengths just to circumvent the ancestral rule against intermarriage between Xiao and Lin?
Lin Huaiyin didn't believe it, and dared not believe it, but Xiao Zhian's bright phoenix eyes were open and resolute, leaving her no choice but to believe it.
Her small hands trembled as she gently pinched the corner of Xiao Zhian's sleeve.
"Why?" she licked her lips. "Why would you be willing—"
"Do I have the right to refuse?" Xiao Zhian asked helplessly, as if scolding her. He held her unsteady little hand tightly and gently rubbed her palm, complaining, "Yinyin, asking this kind of question is like you're insulting me."
"What do I have?" Lin Huaiyin asked, puzzled, not understanding.
"What a silly girl." Xiao Zhian pinched her soft cheek and held her small, snow-white body on his lap. "Have you forgotten who risked their life to save me on Buddha's Birthday?"
"Um?"
The scene from the Buddha's Birthday celebration suddenly flashed before my eyes: the assassin was ruthless, Lin Huaiyin smashed the Guanyin statue that grants children, pushed Xiao Zhian aside, and took the knife for him; everything seemed as if it were yesterday.
Lin Huaiyin's heart skipped a beat, her eyelashes fluttered, not understanding why he was bringing up the past. Her suspicious dark eyes fixed on Xiao Zhi'an, she bit her lip and answered, "Me?"
"Yes." Xiao Zhian lowered his head and nuzzled her pretty nose. "It was you, Miss Lin. And those wicked rats in the court, which little fox was it that jumped around and caught them all in one fell swoop?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Huaiyin puffed out her chest, her eyes gleaming, and she couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth as she said, "It's me."
"Yes, it was you too." Xiao Zhian moved his nose away from hers, their foreheads touching, their breaths mingling. "Heming Mountain, who wiped out the traitors, settled them, and won their hearts?"
"It's me!" Lin Huaiyin gradually understood Xiao Zhian's meaning, and happily started playing bullfighting with him.
"Yes, it's you again." Xiao Zhian was pushed back by Lin Huaiyin and wrapped his arms around her waist. "And who is it this time who ordered Mu Zhanjuan to lead a high monk to inspect the local area, punish corrupt officials, save the people, and stabilize my crumbling Great Xing Dynasty?"
"That's me, of course!" Lin Huaiyin, basking in her credits, smugly transformed into a little tiger, pinning Xiao Zhian down and straddling his waist, declaring with unwavering confidence, "So I'm going to be on top!"
"Alright!" Xiao Zhian was absolutely smitten by the proud blush on her face. "Your husband obeys."
Exhausted from a night's work, Xiao Zhian had been completely drained by Lin Huaiyin. Now that Yinyin was in the mood, he was pushing himself to the limit.
But the secret, burning touch made her skin taut, and Lin Huaiyin groaned, trembling uncontrollably. She instantly wrapped herself tightly in the blanket and scrambled away from Xiao Zhian.
Her bones are still loose; she can't withstand any more strain.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Zhian got excited, snuggled into the brocade quilt, and began to harass her wantonly.
His voice was silly and confused, questioning his love and doubting his own worth. Xiao Zhian insisted on letting this little fool who had saved the world but didn't understand how precious he was know.
It wasn't that she was trying to climb the social ladder by marrying into the Crown Prince's family; it was that the Crown Prince was trying to climb the social ladder by marrying into the family and needed her.
He never stooped to her level, and marrying into her family was by no means a sacrifice. She was worthy of it all. She was the best Yinyin in the world, a little auspicious omen descended from heaven, radiant and unparalleled. She was willing to love him, and he was thrice blessed.
So in front of Yinyin, the Crown Prince's dignity and prestige were completely abandoned. He would do whatever was useful and was not afraid of being humble. He used the already shaky title of Crown Prince to win her over with nothing. Before she could react, he had to stick to her tightly. Otherwise, given Lin Zhenlie's impatient nature of constantly looking for husbands for Yinyin, Xiao Zhian was afraid that he would be too late to get a chance to marry into the family.
He couldn't lose Yinyin, and dared not take the slightest risk; he had to follow in her footsteps.
She sought revenge, and he handed her a knife; she had Xie Xincun as a backup option, and he eliminated him; she wanted to return to the Lin family, and he followed her there, also wanting to move in.
In short, even if the Heavenly King himself comes, Xiao Zhian is still Yinyin's man.
Yin Yin's actions have turned the world upside down, turned the tide, saved the empire from collapse, and rescued the people from suffering.
He died tragically, then was reborn, and finally set things right: eliminating traitors, quelling rebellions, bringing peace to the people, and establishing order in the world.
The will of Heaven is clear and wondrous.
Xiao Zhian had long believed that Yin Yin was the one destined for him.
This empire should have been handed over from the hands of the cold-hearted emperor and the incompetent ruler to its true master, Yin Yin.
She cherished him, was willing to love him, and was willing to preserve the Xiao royal family. Xiao Zhi'an then guarded this world for her, protected the order she rebuilt with her blood, and then handed it over to her child, their child.
Once, the Empress Dowager devoted herself to the Emperor, working tirelessly until her life was over, only to be met with endless humiliation after her death.
Xiao Zhian will never forget the pain of his mother and the wickedness of his father.
He would never treat his father and mother the way he used Yinyin, exhausted her, and then abandoned her.
He and Yinyin will never repeat the same mistakes; they will take a completely different path. The country will be prosperous and stable under their leadership, and will be transformed.
Xiao Zhian's mind was racing, and his movements slowed down. Lin Huaiyin couldn't take it anymore either. Poor thing, she had been completely exhausted and turned around. Her little face was red and her eyes were filled with tears. "Zhian, this isn't enough to fill me up. I'm so hungry."
The little imp begged for mercy, accompanied by gurgling and growling sounds.
Xiao Zhian chuckled and hugged Yinyin tightly.
He could suppress his desires, but Yinyin's little belly needed to be filled quickly.
So they prepared a meal.
The kitchen staff are always ready, and the food will be served immediately upon request.
Lin Huaiyin leaned against Xiao Zhian's chest.
Her skin was fragrant and delicate, her hair soft and smooth, and the scenery was breathtaking. Xiao Zhian loved her dearly and cherished her tenderly. He carefully wiped her with a brocade handkerchief soaked in warm water.
During a break from changing, Xiao Zhian asked Lin Huaiyin where she was going to dine. Lin Huaiyin grinned mischievously and said that the Crown Prince was her property, and the Eastern Palace should rightfully be hers as well. She wanted to go out to eat openly and legitimately.
Xiao Zhian was extremely satisfied with this answer; he loved her adorable appearance with her little tail sticking up.
Since she was going out to meet people, she ordered the palace maids to do Lin Huaiyin's makeup.
During this time, Xiao Zhian held Lin Huaiyin on his lap, holding pastries and syrup, and fed her bite by bite.
The palace maids, newly arrived at the East Palace, were treated with utmost care.
For years, I've only heard that His Highness the Crown Prince is celibate, but now I know that the rumors are completely wrong. His Highness is infatuated with the beautiful lady and they can't be apart for a moment. The two of them are so close that they are like one person. Just looking at them makes people blush and their hearts race.
However, this only applied to the young ladies. His Highness the Crown Prince always summoned them in formal attire, without ordering them to serve or even glancing at them.
The palace maids heeded General Xuan Ge's instructions: stay away from His Highness and focus on serving the young lady.
The beautiful young lady was favored by the Crown Prince, and the palace maids, knowing this without words, went beyond the rules to style her hair into the Crown Princess's high bun, all to please her. With hairpins, gold ornaments, and flowers, everything was arranged properly, and the palace maids silently retreated to one side.
Xiao Zhian took Lin Huaiyin's hand and led her out of the outer room.
The palace gates opened.
A gentle breeze caressed my face, and the sky was bathed in bright sunlight.
Lin Huaiyin's body felt completely drained, like a frail willow. With the slightest breeze, her body became incredibly sensitive, and aches and weakness surged up.
Clinging to Xiao Zhian's arm, she struggled to stand. As the palace doors slowly opened, her mind drifted back to the moment she was in Xiao Zhian's arms. She was anxious and uncertain, making a desperate gamble, hoping to exchange her only remaining possession for Xiao Zhian's promise to kill Princess Pingyang.
She only wanted one sentence.
Xiao Zhian gave her a lot.
Now even the Eastern Palace is hers. She feels that she didn't come here to offer herself, but to sleep with men. Once she's had her fill, she'll have the world. Her experiences are bizarre, but the result is delightful. She's like an old empress dowager, ready to go out and inspect the world.
Lin Huaiyin wagged her tail, and Xiao Zhian smiled as he watched her wag her tail.
He promised to take good care of her, and so far, things seem to be progressing well.
Then, let's nourish her stomach and fill her little tummy first.
The palace doors opened, and Xiao Zhian led her across the threshold.
Lin Huaiyin straightened her chest and raised her head, surveying her newly acquired territory. Her gaze swept over Lin Shifeng, who was peeking around at Yichun Gate. With a "whoosh," Lin Huaiyin shook off Xiao Zhian and ran away.
I'm going to die!
Second brother!
Lin Huaiyin's legs ached from running, her heart pounded in her throat, all tenderness and affection vanished, and she hid under the quilt, shivering.
She didn't go home all night.
1. The whole night.
They also knocked down Fan Xun.
Father must be furious!
If my second brother catches me, I'm doomed!
If we bring Xiao Zhian back to the Lin family now and say that he wants to marry into the family, won't that scare a lot of people to death?
And the idea of marrying into another family sounds nice, but how could it possibly happen?
impossible.
Xiao Zhian was indeed trying to make her happy.
Lin Huaiyin fell from the clouds back to reality.
Xiao Zhian ordered that the meal be served at Cheng'en Palace.
Yinyin hid away again and refused to go out to see anyone. Xiao Zhian couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the human-shaped brocade quilt on the bed.
"Hehehe, are you so afraid of your second brother-in-law finding out? Am I that embarrassing?" Xiao Zhian poked the soft, timid little girl with his finger. "Didn't we agree to give me a proper status and invite my second brother-in-law over to eat with us?"
"How dare you!" Lin Huaiyin threw off the quilt, her face flushed, and stood fiercely with her hands on her hips.
Xiao Zhian burst out laughing.
"You're still laughing?" Lin Huaiyin was furious and very dissatisfied with him. She wanted to hit him and give him some tickling medicine.
"Hahaha."
Xiao Zhian laughed, but his laughter was quite bitter.
Yinyin fears nothing but her family. After marrying into the Lin family, she will live there. If Yinyin is a member of the lower class in the Lin family, Xiao Zhian has a premonition that his family status is in jeopardy.
But Yinyin is so cute.
Xiao Zhian bent down, wanting to take a bite.
Lin Huaiyin picked up a memorial and shoved it in his face.
"Your Highness, have you consulted your ministers about your marriage proposal? Will the Court of Imperial Clan Affairs revoke the imperial genealogy? Does the Ministry of Rites have any regulations? Will your father approve? And most importantly, will Princess Pingyang take this opportunity to frame us for framing Shen Congyun because of personal feelings, and exonerate Shen Congyun?"
"I see, Yinyin is urging us to speed things up." Xiao Zhian peeked out from behind the memorial, his playful expression gone. "How about this, Yinyin, you eat and listen to me?"
