Chapter 109 How Should I Punish You?
Dou Wenyi looked up in shock. She had no interest in seeing anything about waist and abdomen.
"sit down!"
Dou Wenyi held her breath and steeled herself, slowly moving over to sit opposite him, glancing at him worriedly every now and then.
After drinking three cups of wine by himself, Pei Siyan finally put down his wine cup, picked up his silver chopsticks, and began to eat casually. After all, he was of noble birth, and his refinement and demeanor were not just empty words. Even though he ate a little quickly, his every gesture exuded elegance.
The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Only her heartbeat and breathing could be heard clearly. This silent pressure constantly reminded her that Pei Siyan was a tyrannical crown prince who held the power of life and death, not a man she could joke around with.
"Is it good-looking?" He seemed to smile, his voice casual and devoid of any emotion, but the more casual he was, the more pressure she felt.
Dou Wenyi shook her head frantically, a thin layer of cold sweat breaking out on her back. After racking her brains for a while, she stammered, "No, I didn't see it. It wasn't what I wanted to see. Fu'an ruined me..."
You're so stubborn! Why did you have to hang yourself at such a crucial moment?
She wanted to bite her tongue. He was a complete stranger to her; wasn't this just watching a performance?
Her explanation only served to cover up the truth, as if she had actually done something wrong to him.
What does it have to do with him? Why should I explain it to him?
But how could she dare to yell those words at him?
The air was completely frozen.
Pei Siyan frowned and sneered, "Still trying to argue? You dare to look at all sorts of filthy things? Be careful you don't go blind!"
These words were venomous, directed at her deep anger.
But she was truly wronged!
"Didn't you want to play Pai Gow? I'll play with you."
Clearly, heaven did not hear her prayers. Dou Wenyi twisted the handkerchief in her hands into a ball, feeling like she wanted to die. "Your Highness, I have no idea how to play!"
Pei Siyan stroked the wine cup in his hand, his expression cool and intimidating, staring at her with an air of pressure. "You can't? Then what can you do? The Flying Flower Game?"
The room was dimly lit, with a faint candlelight flickering and illuminating his deep blue brocade robe, making him appear even more aloof and elegant, as if he were a dignified and upright gentleman.
Admire a beauty under the lamplight, and observe a gentleman under the moonlight.
But she knew all too well that Pei Siyan was a complete madman in the shadows. Several times before, the two of them had almost gone off with their guns. What was the point of playing around?
A gust of autumn wind blew by, causing Pei Siyan's sleeves to billow in the wind. He looked up at the gloomy sky, his voice seemingly drifting with the wind: "Unfortunately... let's just use the character 'moon' as the theme for now, and continue with adjacent characters containing the character 'moon'."
"...Flowers bloom brightly, the moon is dim, and a light mist shrouds the scene; tonight, I shall go to my lover's side."
Dou Wenyi felt a chill run down her spine, and her cheeks flushed red. She was both embarrassed and ashamed; how could he possibly utter such suggestive words?
He was truly shameless; what was clearly a shameless affair was given the beautiful name of true love by the literati.
She hated herself for not being a blockhead who couldn't understand poetry!
Dou Wenyi pondered for a moment, then began to recite, "The bright moon shines over the river city in late autumn, and the crickets chirp all night long."
Pei Siyan raised an eyebrow slightly and said softly, "So, all of a sudden, you're worried about the country and its people?"
Dou Wenyi gently pushed the wine cup in front of him to the middle. Just now his face was full of stormy emotions, but now it became warm and gentle. The change in his expression was so quick that it was truly amazing!
"How pitiful is the night of the third day of the ninth month, when the dew is like pearls and the moon is like a bow."
Dou Wenyi immediately replied, "I wonder for whom the bright moon waits, but I only see the Yangtze River carrying its flowing water."
Pei Siyan's face darkened instantly, and he didn't speak even after almost the allotted time had passed.
"Waiting for whom?"
"Your Highness? Is there something wrong with this poem?" Dou Wenyi's heart skipped a beat, and she was speechless. Had he made some connection to something again?
A ruler's heart is unfathomable; her life is so difficult!
Without time to think it through, she quickly apologized, "Has this humble woman offended Your Highness?"
Pei Siyan's gaze fell heavily on her. He was burning with desire for her every night, but he tried his best to suppress the urge to avoid her, thinking that he should deal with Dou Mingyan's matter first.
But she was heartless and oblivious to his sincerity, and instead spent her days flirting with other women and attracting unwanted attention!
They've already shared a bed and seen each other naked. How can she just let it go and pretend nothing happened?
Tonight, upon learning that she was in Wazi, he put aside his official duties and rushed over. But where was she?
They were carefree and happy, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Pei Siyan picked up his wine cup, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, a hint of coldness in his eyes. "I didn't realize Yi'er was so talented. If she takes the imperial examination tomorrow, the Great Zhou might even produce a female champion."
"Your Highness, please don't make fun of me. Let's play Pai Gow instead." Dou Wenyi forced a smile.
Who knows what kind of nonsense he'll spew out of his mouth later? We absolutely cannot continue this poem.
Suddenly, a large hand grabbed her delicate wrist and pulled her into his arms, forcing her to sit on his lap.
The clear, refreshing scent of ambergris mixed with the smell of alcohol assaulted her nostrils, making her body stiffen. She instinctively struggled.
Pei Siyan lowered his eyes slightly, his voice low and husky, "If you keep rubbing against me like that, I'll become indiscriminate in my desires... Dou Wenyi, tonight, I'll make sure you have your fill of fun!"
Dou Wenyi blushed deeply with embarrassment and dared not move again; she was terrified that he would go crazy right there!
The large, thrashing hand caressed her waist, the voice eerily gentle, "Want to play Pai Gow? Fine, but the loser has to accept a punishment. For example, whoever loses has to take off their clothes, how about that?"
Pei Siyan!
Dou Wenyi's pupils dilated sharply, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "What kind of rule is this?"
Regardless of who loses, she'll be the one who suffers in the end; he certainly has a good plan.
Pei Siyan lowered his eyes, his heavy breathing becoming somewhat disordered, and the blood in his body began to surge, as if he were truly drunk, and she would definitely be his for life.
If this continues, it will be too agonizing for him.
"Yi'er, I have already informed the Empress Dowager about what happened that day. You have repeatedly broken the rules and shouldn't have ignored my words. Tell me, how should I punish you...?"
