Chapter 134 A Deceived Spring Night
"What is it? Just tell me, as long as I can do it!" Ye Xunyang agreed readily at this moment.
A triumphant smile flashed in Lou Jin's eyes. He lowered his voice even further, his tone seductive: "That... book of... erotic pictures I found last time, tonight, you'll have to give in to my wishes, okay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the body in his arms freeze instantly.
Ye Xunyang glared at Lou Jin: "You! You actually took advantage of the situation! That... that position is impossible! No way! Absolutely not!"
He recalled the erotic picture book that Lou Jin had somehow obtained, and the pose in it that made his legs go weak just looking at it, making him wish he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Upon seeing this, Lou Jin immediately put on that "I'm hurt and disappointed" expression again and sighed softly.
"Very well... Since my beloved consort is unwilling, then let it be as if I said nothing. But this knot in my heart is probably hard to untie..."
As she spoke, she pretended to want to let go of him.
Seeing him like this, and thinking about how hard he had worked for the Ye family, Ye Xunyang's heart softened, and his feelings of shame and anger were replaced by conflict.
He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and said quickly in a self-deprecating manner, "...Fine, fine! I'll do as you say! Just this once! Don't push your luck!"
Lou Jin's scheme succeeded, and his face instantly brightened, his smile dazzlingly bright, with not a trace of his previous sorrow remaining.
He kissed Ye Xunyang hard on the cheek, his voice filled with joy: "My beloved consort is indeed the most considerate!"
Seeing his rapid change of expression, Ye Xunyang was so angry that his teeth itched. He reached out and pinched the soft flesh on his waist: "You liar! Tell me quickly, what exactly did Father Emperor say?"
Lou Jin laughed and dodged while holding him tightly, then told him the good news that the emperor had finally agreed to the marriage and conferred the title of Marquis of Zhongyuan on the Ye family, a hereditary title.
After hearing this, Ye Xunyang was first stunned, then a great joy welled up in his heart, but when he thought about how he had been tricked into agreeing to those conditions by this guy, he was so angry that he wanted to punch him.
"Lou Jin! You lied to me! You made me worry for so long for nothing! And...you even lied and made me agree to that kind of thing!"
Lou Jin let him hit him, laughing like a fox who had stolen some cream. He leaned close to his ear, his breath hot: "A king's word is law. My beloved concubine has promised. Tonight... you can't go back on your word."
Ye Xunyang was both happy that the family crisis was over and furious at Lou Jin's despicable behavior, his face flushed red.
"...You're such an idiot!"
That night, red candles burned brightly in the main room of the Jinwang Mansion, filling the air with an ambiguous atmosphere.
After taking a bath, Ye Xunyang sat on the edge of the bed wearing a soft nightgown. His fingers nervously twisted the sash, and his eyes darted around, not daring to look at Lou Jin, who was slowly undressing.
The thought of being tricked into agreeing to something during the day made him restless.
Lou Jin removed his outer robe, leaving only his inner garment, walked up to him, leaned down to look at him, and chuckled softly, "My beloved consort, are you... about to back out?"
"Who, who's backed out!"
Ye Xunyang suddenly raised his head, trying to remain calm, but his shifty eyes and slightly reddened earlobes betrayed him.
"A word spoken by this princess is as good as her word!"
"Oh?" Lou Jin raised an eyebrow, reached out and gently lifted his chin, his fingertips caressing his smooth skin, his tone coaxing, "Then... does my beloved concubine still remember what you promised?"
Ye Xunyang's face turned even redder; of course he remembered!
He secretly glanced at that tattered picture book several more times later. That posture... that posture was simply... He stammered, his eyes darting around, unable to say it out loud.
Lou Jin didn't press him. He simply took the book from beside his pillow, skillfully turned to a certain page, and handed it to Ye Xunyang.
The scene is incredibly impactful under the candlelight.
Ye Xunyang glanced at it only once, then abruptly closed his eyes as if burned, his long eyelashes trembling violently, and he managed to squeeze out a faint, mosquito-like voice from his throat: "...I...I understand..."
Lou Jin chuckled softly, casually tossing the album aside. He blew out the nearest few candles, leaving only a dimly lit palace lantern in the distance, creating a more private and ambiguous atmosphere.
He leaned down and gently laid Ye Xunyang, whose body was stiff with nervousness, down on the soft quilt. Warm kisses fell like spring rain, from his smooth forehead to his trembling eyelids, then to the tip of his nose, and finally covered his lips, which were slightly pursed due to nervousness.
"Don't be afraid..."
Soothed by his gentle and continuous kisses, Ye Xunyang's tense body gradually relaxed, and his arms involuntarily wrapped around Lou Jin's neck, responding dependently.
Sensing his softening, Lou Jin's kiss deepened and became more aggressive, while his nimble fingers quietly untied the ties of his nightgown.
At first, Ye Xunyang felt somewhat uncomfortable and shy, but under Lou Jin's patient and skillful guidance, his awkwardness gradually transformed into an indescribable, unfamiliar pleasure.
He bit his lip, trying to suppress the sound that was about to escape his throat, and a blush of emotion rose at the corners of his eyes.
Lou Jin looked at his restrained yet intoxicated appearance and loved him dearly. His movements became more tender, and he whispered hot words of encouragement in his ear.
As night deepened, only suppressed breathing and blush-inducing whispers remained in the inner room. The untouched picture book lay quietly beside the bed, but the actual practice was far more vivid and, more... physically demanding than the static images in the book.
When everything finally calmed down, Ye Xunyang was already limp and weak in Lou Jin's arms, too lazy to even move his fingertips, his cheeks flushed.
Lou Jin embraced him contentedly, his fingertips idly combing through his sweaty temples, and chuckled softly, "My beloved consort was quite valiant today."
Ye Xunyang didn't even have the strength to glare at him, uttering only a muffled syllable of dissatisfaction, as a protest against his subsequent teasing.
Although the process was a bit embarrassing, it didn't seem so bad...
Ye Xunyang fell into a deep sleep in Lou Jin's secure embrace.
Moonlight streamed through the window lattice, gently filling the room with the colors of spring.
The following day, the imperial edict conferring upon Ye Qing the title of Marquis of Zhongyuan was issued.
The Ye couple realized that Lou Jin must have played a significant role in this, and they felt even more grateful that their son-in-law was such a good person. They were glad they had agreed to the matter back then.
The Ye residence was instantly bustling with visitors, a lively scene of people coming and going.
A few days later, Anar's father, Yan Gang, the clan chief of Kapok Village, also arrived in the capital after a long journey.
A poll:
This book will be finished next week. I'll vote on the topic of the next book in the paragraph review section.
1. Lou Yan and Yu Beichen (childhood sweethearts, slightly angsty, reunion after a long separation)
2. Another story: A powerful regent and his adopted younger brother (pseudo-incest, substitute literature, the dominant one is the bottom, a nurturing relationship).
If the votes are roughly equal, both candidates may be removed from the list.
