Chapter 215 "Do you like small ones?"
The man's hand stroked her fingertips, then followed them to the palm of her hand and slowly moved upwards.
Two finger bones passed through the red rope on her wrist.
Curl up your index finger and hook the red rope.
The little jade tiger was also lifted up and hung on his fingertips.
Pei Jingxu slowly came back to his senses and subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand.
The man pulled her hand away, not allowing her to retreat at all.
"You like small ones?"
Rong Jianxue spoke suddenly.
"Um?"
Pei Jingxu was stunned for a moment, looked at Rong Jianxue in a panic, and didn't react for a while.
Rong Jianxue's expression remained unchanged, and he looked at her with deep and cold eyes: "Yuzhu, do you like the small one?"
Pei Jingxu: “…”
Can this person finish speaking in one breath?
What does it mean to "like small ones"?
Pulling the corner of her mouth, Pei Jingxu's fingertips lightly brushed the man's cool palm, and her voice was soft: "I just bought it casually. The vendor said that tigers bring safety."
Rong Jianxue said "hmm" without any emotion, moved her body, but her eyes were still on the small jade tiger.
He raised his hand slightly, and the exquisite and beautiful Buddhist beads on his wrist bone slid along his hand and onto her wrist, pressing the red rope underneath.
The cool temperature of the Buddhist beads penetrated his skin and spread to his limbs and bones. Pei Jingxu raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Wear mine."
Rong Jianxue spoke slowly.
Pei Jingxu's pupils widened slightly: "This is yours, I can't take it."
Rong Jianxue pulled her wrist and smiled grimly, "Pei Jingxu, what else do I have that isn't yours?"
Pei Jingxu didn't say anything after hearing that. He looked at the crystal clear beads with a slight smile on his lips.
Rong Jianxue sat on the edge of the bed, looking lazy and tired: "Did Chen Qianfan come to see you?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Jingxu suppressed the emotions in his eyes and nodded slightly.
"What did he say?"
"He said..." Pei Jingxu trailed off, not daring to look at him. "He said he could help me reject His Majesty's offer of marriage for you."
A hint of coolness flashed under her long eyelashes. Rong Jianxue raised her eyes slightly and looked at her: "What about you? Did you agree?"
Pei Jingxu lowered his eyes and shook his head: "A Xu didn't agree. He said he would give me time to think about it."
"Your Majesty granted me the Bai family's hand in marriage only to test my reaction," Rong Jianxue said calmly, playing with her fingers with one hand. "Even if I disobeyed, Your Majesty would not punish me severely."
In other words, what His Majesty wants more is to take this opportunity to make him disobey the order.
In this way, he could find an excuse to temporarily exempt him from promotion.
Now, the voices in the court wanting him to be promoted to prime minister are too loud and too strong, and the emperor cannot stop them openly, so he can only find another way.
Rong Jianxue didn't care about these things.
The emperor has a deep mind. Even if he is deeply favored by the emperor, it does not mean that the emperor will completely trust him.
Sometimes, if a person takes too big a step and rises to prominence quickly, with outstanding achievements, the emperor will find a way to give him some advice.
To him, it wasn't a big deal.
Slightly raising his eyes, Rong Jianxue looked at the woman in front of him: "Your Majesty wishes to grant Bai Shi to me in marriage. Pei Jingxu, what do you think?"
The woman's eyes were stained red, she bit her lip slightly, turned away from his gaze, and said in a soft and small voice: "Then Ah Xu can only-"
"If you dare to say congratulations," Rong Jianxue interrupted Pei Jingxu in a cold voice, "don't even think about getting out of bed for the next three days."
Pei Jingxu: “…”
The woman lowered her head, letting the man caress her fingers, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Seeing that she really didn't say anything else, Rong Jianxue sneered.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, the man put one hand around her waist and let her sit astride his waist.
"Help me undress." Rong Jianxue ordered coldly.
Pei Jingxu tried to prop herself up and stand up, but he pinched her waist and pushed her back down.
The man looked down at her, his voice cold and hoarse: "Pei Jingxu, help me undress, I need to rest."
Pei Jingxu's eyes turned red, and his voice trembled slightly: "This, this is my room..."
Rong Jianxue tilted his head slightly and looked at her leisurely.
Well, forget about the room, this whole mansion belongs to him, Rong Jianxue.
Finally raising his hand, Pei Jingxu untied the jade belt around his waist.
Until only the loose inner garment was left on his body, Pei Jingxu could see the faint muscle lines on the man's chest.
There was a sound of rain outside the window, occasionally accompanied by loud thunder.
Every time there was thunder, Pei Jingxu was so scared that she stopped what she was doing and curled up in the man's arms, motionless.
The black hair rubbed against his temples.
Rong Jianxue raised his chin with enjoyment and let her slowly take off his clothes.
"Boom—"
Another thunder boomed, even louder than the previous one.
Pei Jingxu screamed, climbed onto the man's shoulders in a panic, leaned over and put her arms around his neck, buried herself in the man's arms, her petite body trembling slightly.
Rong Jianxue's expression was calm to the point of being indifferent.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the woman in his arms, like Liu Xiahui who remained calm even when a woman sat on his lap.
"Junmou..." Pei Jingxu's voice trembled as she held the man's hand. "Ah Xu is so scared..."
Pinching her wrist bone, Rong Jianxue guided her hand across his chest, across his waistline, and slowly moved it downwards.
"Bribe me."
The woman's ears turned red, her eyes were full of panic, and she shook her head helplessly.
He pulled away slightly, putting half an inch of distance between them. "Just eat and don't spit out, just sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Pei Jingxu, are you Da Huang?"
"It's okay to hold hands," he said gently, "but what about my benefits?"
Tears welled up in the woman's eyes, but her other hand obediently covered his shoulder and kissed his lips.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and with one hand he ran slightly up her spine, undoing the ribbon on her dress.
The smooth silk fell in front of her.
He asked her to pick up the small piece of clothing.
"I'll make you a new one another day..."
He whispered something in her ear, deciding the final destination of the dress.
…
Pei Jingxu felt that Rong Jianxue must have done it on purpose.
He really only asked her to help deal with it, and did nothing else.
Lying on the bed, he picked her up, held her in his arms, closed his eyes and rested.
She has been drinking that extremely bitter medicine recently and thought she could see its effects today.
But Rong Jianxue, that bastard, was actually just...
Messy robes were scattered all over the floor.
Pei Jingxu cursed Rong Jianxue a hundred times in his heart.
Just as she was thinking about whether she should seduce him again and try whether the medicine was effective, she heard a man's low and hoarse voice behind her.
"On the twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory said everything would be auspicious on that day."
Pei Jingxu frowned slightly, not quite understanding what he meant.
I could only respond with a muffled "hmm".
The hand on her lower abdomen tightened, and the man held her in his arms, with her back pressed against his chest.
She heard the vibration in the man's chest when he spoke.
Calm and powerful.
"We got married that day."
