Chapter 22 He Sells the Myth of Love
These words have a similar meaning to what Yinzhen heard that day.
Yinzhen turned his body completely around.
Yuyan had almost finished applying medicine to all the sunburns on Yinzhen's back, but she didn't have time to take her hand back.
Or on his shoulders.
When he moved like this, Yuyan's fingertips accidentally scratched Yinzhen's back.
Yuyan was afraid that her nails might have scratched Yinzhen, so she checked carefully.
But Yinzhen held her hand.
Yinzhen smiled and said, "I have a strong body and tough skin. It's fine. Don't worry, Fujin."
Besides, Fu Jin trimmed her nails to be round and cute, so how could they be pointed? Yinzhen had never seen Yu Yan wearing such a thing as armor.
After all, the two of them had been sleeping in the same bed for several months. Yinzhen always liked to hold her in his arms while sleeping, so Yuyan was the one who knew best whether he was thick-skinned or not.
How could a pampered prince have such rough skin? He wasn't even thick-skinned. He was just incredibly strong, with a great body and great strength.
Well, it’s pretty good and long-lasting.
Yuyan really didn't mean to think that way, it was just that her active thoughts couldn't be suppressed and slipped away.
When he moved like this, the clothes he was wearing fell down. Yu Yan quickly caught them, but this also left his entire upper body exposed.
Yuyan quickly put it on him and ordered him, "Put on your clothes."
Having seen everything that Fu Jin should see, Yinzhen raised his eyebrows and smiled, and put on his clothes with one hand. No matter what, he would not let go of Yuyan's hand.
He had been sleeping on a hard bed these days and was exposed to the sun every day, so naturally the sunburns on his body were painful.
He was not used to sleeping on the bed and felt sore in his back and waist after sleeping on it for a few days, but Yinzhen endured it without saying a word and refused to change seats.
Now that the real culprit has come, why don't we let him know about these things? Are we still going to keep them secret?
As Yinzhen put on his clothes, he gasped in pain: "I've been sleeping here for the past few days and my body aches. My back and waist are especially uncomfortable at night. Can Fujin be flexible and let me move back?"
Yuyan knew he wasn't pretending, but it sounded like he was deliberately trying to be mean. No, he was deliberately trying to be mean.
In the past, when she was busy working the night shift, she could only sleep for two hours from 2 to 4 in the morning. She had no choice but to set up a small camp bed in the hospital. Although the bed was soft, it was only a layer of cloth underneath, which made it very uncomfortable to sleep on, and it was especially cold in winter.
I can understand how uncomfortable it was for Yinzhen to sleep on a hard bed.
Yuyan didn't give in immediately, "Of course a hard board would be uncomfortable. Lord Beile should ask Su Peisheng to find a bed and put it here. Since you are going to stay here for a long time, why don't I take charge of decorating this place for Lord Beile, what do you think?"
Yuyan didn't want to keep holding his hand.
Even though this man was holding it loosely, he was quite skillful. She couldn't get it back even though she wanted to, as he was still holding it.
Yuyan couldn't get away from it, so she finally let him do it.
However, Yinzhen went further and held her entire hand, and even learned how to interlock their fingers without any instruction, so that Fujin could not get away.
But maybe he still didn't control his strength. Yinzhen's palms were very big and his bones were strong, so he pinched Yuyan's hands, making them feel uncomfortable. Yuyan then said, "My hand hurts. Please be gentler."
Yinzhen immediately softened.
His hands were gentle, but his eyes were fixed on Yu Yan, unwilling to let go: "Has Fu Jin decided to sleep in a separate room from me?"
He was not happy at all.
Even though he was in such a state, Fu Jin still had no mercy on him? Didn't Fu Jin feel sorry for him ruining his health?
Yuyan simply sat down and sat with the other two.
After all, it’s still about the issue of sleeping together.
She saw his determination. She would rather sleep alone on a hard bed in Daotianxuan than go back to his own place, let alone look for his concubines.
Although she didn't know how much of a conspiracy he had, Yuyan saw the persistence and attitude behind it.
She would also secretly wonder how long he could hold on. But now, he had made his position clear.
Holding hands openly, Yinzhen became gentler, and Yuyan could see his hands clearly.
He had been working very hard these past few days, and there were some marks on his originally slender hands. They had been cleaned very well, but some traces of the work could still be seen.
Even in this weather, my hands will be chapped after just a few days of working at this intensity.
He has a rope in his hand that he uses to practice martial arts all year round, and now he has added a rope for farming.
Yuyan couldn't stand it.
[When I was in the hospital, I washed my hands thousands of times a day, and we were very careful about how we maintained them. I'm not saying that I'm vain, but if I don't take good care of my hands, the skin on my hands will be damaged, and it will be even more painful if I get sick.]
Yinzhen heard it, but just raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
Yuyan called Xiaohong over and asked her to bring the hand ointment from her. After waiting for a while, Xiaohong brought it in. Yuyan slowly lowered her head and carefully wiped Yinzhen's hands.
This was the elegant fragrance coming from Fu Jin's body. Yinzhen did not struggle, nor did he say anything. He just looked at Fu Jin carefully as she wiped his hands, his eyes gentle.
"When I married Prince Beile, I was fourteen years old. I became pregnant within a year and later gave birth to Honghui."
I don't know why the cicadas outside have stopped chirping. Perhaps they have been chirping very hard for a while and now they need to take a break and will chirp again when they have recovered their strength.
It was a little hot outside, but not hot inside the house. Yinzhen drank the bowl of mung bean soup in one gulp, and with a cool feeling in his heart, he slowly listened to Yuyan's clear voice.
The jade face was applied very carefully, for fear that if any place was not applied, it would crack.
She said frankly, "Giving birth to a child at such a young age will naturally harm your body. This is why I have never gotten pregnant, except for Honghui. Lord Beile knows this."
"My body is not well yet. If Lord Beile wants to have a child, I'm afraid it's impossible. My body is not good, and the next child may be born with congenital deficiencies, which will harm the child. It will also make my body worse. To have a child, at least both parties must be healthy. Otherwise, it would be very irresponsible."
It is not easy for a woman to give birth to a child, let alone at a young age.
This body has some minor problems left over from premature childbirth, accumulated over the years, and it takes time and scientific methods to repair them.
Yuyan now needs to improve the physical condition of this body so that she can repair the problems left over from giving birth to a child. Only with a healthy body can she give birth to offspring without worries.
Given the current state of my body, even if I have sex, it will be difficult to get pregnant. And I will definitely suffer a loss.
Yuyan and Yinzhen's relationship wasn't that deep yet, and they didn't want to have a baby right away.
She didn't want to delay Yinzhen, and sleeping in separate rooms was actually a good choice for both of them. But this person just didn't want to do it.
Then I'll just lay all this out and talk about it.
She was hiding because she felt that Yinzhen had strong sexual needs.
She was afraid that he would use Kangxi's words to coax her into doing it, so she could only avoid him for the time being.
It is actually very difficult for two young men and women to control their instincts when they are always together.
Kangxi has already said what he meant. It may be fine for a few months, but if there is no movement for a year or two, it may be difficult to explain.
Yinzhen still needs to be informed of this matter and make a decision.
"There's no need to rush about the child."
Yinzhen felt that it was almost done, so he stopped Yuyan from applying it. He grabbed Fujin's hand with his backhand, and now the scent on both of them was the same.
Yinzhen said, "No matter who urges us, this matter ultimately depends on us. It doesn't matter whether we have the baby or not. They just say a few words. If we have the baby later, we will reward them if they are happy and mention it if they are unhappy. If the child is not good, it is only the biological parents who are worried about it. Why would others care?"
Yuyan was very surprised.
[He is so young, not even thirty, yet he can say such things.]
Yinzhen smiled in his heart, but said to Yuyan: "If you don't want to have a baby now, then we won't have one. You don't have to worry about what others think or how to explain to others. I'll take care of everything, so let's just live a good life first."
Why did Yinzhen have such an attitude?
The truth is that he grew up beside Queen Tong since he was a child, and was brought to Queen Tong when he was just a few months old.
At that time, Queen Tong was not yet the Queen, but a royal concubine.
The Imperial Concubine is the Emperor's cousin, and they must have feelings for each other. Of course, the Imperial Concubine also wants to have her own children with the Emperor.
But no matter how hard I tried, it was all in vain. I finally got pregnant, but I had a miscarriage within two months.
This happened several times. Sometimes even twice a year.
That’s why the imperial concubine was always sick, because childbirth was too harmful to her health.
The Emperor didn't want the Concubine to be weak, so he didn't allow her to get pregnant.
Some time passed like this, and the emperor couldn't bear to see the concubine sad, so she became pregnant. This time, the baby she gave birth to was a weak little princess.
The child died within two days, and the imperial concubine became seriously ill.
The death of Empress Tong was largely due to her physical devastation.
It was not until later, after Empress Tong passed away, that the Emperor learned from missionaries that he and the Empress were close relatives and their blood relationship was too close, so they could not have children.
Therefore, the current imperial concubine Tong Jia has no children, and the emperor has never let her get pregnant again.
Yinzhen almost witnessed Empress Tong exhausting her life in pursuit of a child. He was deeply touched by this and his childhood events were still vivid in his mind. Yinzhen could of course completely think about this issue from Yuyan's perspective.
Yuyan was delighted and smiled: "Thank you for your consideration, Lord Beile."
The huge mountain that weighed on feudal women was lifted by Yinzhen.
I don't know when it started, but the cicadas outside seemed to have taken a rest.
The calls started one after another, as if they were in a competition, it was very lively and after one round of calls here, another one started over there.
In fact, it’s almost time for lunch.
Yuyan thought that it would be hot if she went back now, so she might as well stay here with Yinzhen, and then see if she could decorate the place a little so that Yinzhen would have a place to rest when he was tired. This hard bed was really an eyesore.
After asking someone to serve the meal, more people came in soon. It was definitely not good for Yinzhen to always wear tight underwear. Yuyan picked up his outer shirt and wanted to coax him to put it on first.
Yinzhen was obedient and put it on.
As he put it on, he smiled at Yu Yan and said, "I only said that there is no need to rush to have a child. I did not agree to sleep in a separate room from Fu Jin."
Yuyan was a little confused. Are they going to have to sleep together again?
Yinzhen came over and sat down again, gently tapping Yuyan's palm with his fingertips, and said leisurely: "Fujin himself promised that there will be one or two times every few days. Fujin can't break his promise."
He moved closer to Yuyan and said with a smile in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "In this world, there is always a way to make both of us happy without making Fujin pregnant, right?"
"Fujin, please don't let me suffer any more. And don't let yourself suffer any more."
Yu Yan grabbed his restless fingertips and whispered, "Why do you always think about this, Lord Beile?"
Yinzhen smiled and asked her, "Has Fujin never thought about this?"
Yu Yan was stunned. Well, there was no way she could tell him that. Food and sex are human nature. She was far from seeing sex as nothing, so she naturally could not remain indifferent.
For example, now, Yinzhen's hand was moving randomly in her palm, which made her heart beat unsteadily.
She was distracted and slow to give an accurate answer.
Yinzhen stared at her steadily, and after a while he called her, "Yuyan."
Yu Yan was stunned, and her expression was confused for a moment.
The name of the fourth Fujin was Wulanala Yuyan. And she was called Jian Yuyan.
Yinzhen called her like that, which gave her the illusion that he was calling her.
Yinzhen didn't know what was wrong with her.
Seeing that she had a strange look on her face, he listened carefully to her thoughts, wondering if he had missed something.
All along, Yinzhen treated this inexplicably awakened ability very casually and did not deliberately listen to anything.
Many times, it was Fu Jin's inner voice that intruded on his own.
Just listen to whatever you can hear, and just go with the flow.
This was the first time that Yinzhen took the initiative to find out what Fujin was thinking.
He didn't know how to operate it, so he tried hard to listen, but he didn't hear anything, as if Fu Jin had no thoughts in his mind.
But, did Fu Jin really not think of anything in his heart, or was he unable to hear?
"Yuyan." Yinzhen called again.
Yuyan heard it, and the look she gave Yinzhen was flashing with a light that she herself was not aware of.
Those eyes were inexplicably bright, and at noon on a hot summer day, they reminded people of the starry sky at night.
"Yuyan. Don't push me away."
Don't hide, don't run away. Try to come closer, okay?
Yuyan has encountered many people who approached her over the years.
After all, she is rich and beautiful. In the eyes of people in society, she is a woman worth pursuing. Many men want to conquer her, the so-called "strong woman".
There are also many men who are thinking about how they can rely on her job to realize their own golden rice bowl.
There are too many people with evil intentions, and I haven’t met anyone with good intentions.
Blame her for loving reading too much, blame her for having too clear vision, blame her for being too slow to warm up to emotions, blame her for never being so easily infatuated, so it's too easy for her to see through these false enthusiasms.
Others think she is cold-hearted and not easily moved, but she herself knows that once she is moved and gives her heart away, it is her warm and sincere heart that will beat for her whole life.
If reciprocated, her love and passion will last a lifetime.
Even until death, this passionate love will never fade away and will remain with the heaven, earth and stars.
It sounds mysterious, but that's just the kind of person she is, Jian Yuyan.
It would be a miracle if someone like her could find satisfaction in marriage and love in modern society.
In all these years, I haven't met even one.
She knows her weaknesses too well. If she makes the mistake, there will be no recovery. It is obviously a good thing for a woman to know how to protect herself.
Many people told her not to push her away, but they couldn't stand her distant attitude and left first.
She didn't even have to push them, they left.
In the eyes of many people, sex is always more important than love.
Love is a myth, but the human body is capable of performing activities at any time to satisfy its instincts.
Because Jian Yuyan refused to play physical games with them, they said that Jian Yuyan was sexually apathetic.
Her heart is warm, her body is warm, how could she be cold?
Yinzhen is really weird. He is obviously a prince, and a Beile. He can have any kind of woman he wants, and he can have a different one every day. So why does he have to stay with her?
