Even without He Yunxiao's special instructions, Meng Qingqian would never have slept with Jian Ling. From a young age, Meng Qingqian was deliberately (unrestrainedly) raised by the Empress Dowager to be independent. She always preferred to be alone and disliked contact with others.
Even after He Yunxiao took her body, Meng Qingqian still felt uncomfortable with any overly intimate actions with him. This was a habit she had developed since childhood, and she couldn't change it overnight.
Normally, if He Yunxiao isn't firm, Meng Qingqian wouldn't even let him touch her little hand. If he is firm, Mengbao can only compromise and give in to He Yunxiao. This is how it's handled when it doesn't involve special areas. In special areas, even if He Yunxiao is firm, Meng Qingqian would have to stand up to him and not let him touch her.
However, "aftermath" is not "normal time". At this moment, the afterglow had not yet faded, Mengbao was weak and powerless, and she was too busy taking care of herself to care about where He Yunxiao had run into.
He Yunxiao knew that "afterwards" was a rare time for Mengbao to indulge him, so he took the opportunity to cuddle with her. He knew that once Mengbao got dressed, she would turn on him again.
He Yunxiao shrank into the quilt, hugged Mengbao's slender waist, and buried his face in Mengbao's arms.
Everywhere you look, there is warm, soft, smooth, and undulating skin. Being in it is like lying on a sun-warmed cloud—truly a wonderful experience.
Meng Qingqian's body was poked by He Yunxiao's hair, making her ticklish and giggle.
"Hey, come out here, stop playing around."
A rare tenderness appeared on the princess's usually dignified face. She gently patted the head in her arms and spoke words that were a mix of helplessness, joy, and concern in her reproach.
He Yunxiao ignored him and continued enjoying himself. (www.cascoo.net)
After a while, Meng Qingqian said again, "Alright, it's getting late, I should go back."
"What is Mengbao going back for?" He Yunxiao asked, looking up.
Meng Qingqian thought to herself: Everyone is as leisurely as you. I still have a bunch of memorials to read!
But she said, "A young lady who is not yet married has no right to stay out overnight. No matter how late it is, she must go home."
He Yunxiao teased Mengbao, saying, "We're already like this, what difference does it make whether we get married or not?"
The inability to get married was already a source of great distress for Meng Qingqian, and He Yunxiao's provocation only made her feel even more aggrieved.
She had essentially given herself to him for free; she was denied everything she deserved, such as a title and betrothal gifts, because of Nan Zhu. He had gotten such a great deal, yet he still acted innocent, constantly making sarcastic remarks. Was she really that funny?
Meng Qingqian felt wronged, and this was reflected on her face, with tears glistening in the corners of her eyes.
When He Yunxiao saw this, he immediately thought, "Oh no, Mengbao is going to cry again."
She quickly got out of bed, reached out and hugged the aggrieved Mengbao, coaxing her repeatedly, "Mengbao, are you upset again? You can tell me what's wrong. If you just ask, I'll even get the moon from the sky for you."
Meng Qingqian said defiantly, "I want the moon in the sky, bring it to me."
He Yunxiao said with great enthusiasm, "Let's go!"
Late at night, a man and a woman walked hand in hand along the pond at Jinxianyuan.
The woman's gait was somewhat unnatural; she walked awkwardly and unsteadily.
He Yunxiao said awkwardly, "Mengbao, is the pain from last time still not healed?"
Meng Qingqian blushed and glared fiercely at He Yunxiao, "It was already better last time, but today..."
She hesitated for a moment, then finally muttered, "Couldn't you be a little gentler?"
He Yunxiao bent down and kissed Li Qingmeng's soft cheek.
"If I were to be lenient, it would be disrespectful to Mengbao's breathtaking beauty. Mengbao is so, so beautiful, who wouldn't be anxious? Mengbao, don't you agree?"
Meng Qingqian blushed, feeling sweetly pleased by He Yunxiao's praise, and any discomfort she felt disappeared.
"Talking nonsense all day long."
"whee."
"Where is my moon?" Meng Qingqian asked He Yunxiao.
He Yunxiao pointed to the moon's reflection in the pond and said to Li Qingmeng, "Look, it's over there."
Meng Qingqian looked at He Yunxiao and said, "That's it?"
He Yunxiao knew that this little trick of "pointing at the shadow to make the moon" might fool Nan Zhu and Chu Chu, but it was far from enough to fool Zi Ruo and Meng Bao.
"Isn't this enough?" He Yunxiao said deliberately.
Meng Qingqian gave a soft snort, clearly dissatisfied with He Yunxiao's "surprise." However, to appease He Yunxiao's feelings and considering that he had put in some effort and thought, she reluctantly said, "It's alright."
Having roughly guessed Mengbao's true identity, He Yunxiao deliberately probed, "Mengbao, is it really true that I can't attend the Princess's coming-of-age ceremony in three days?"
Meng Qingqian stiffened, but stubbornly said, "What are you going to do at Princess Xiaoyue's coming-of-age ceremony? The Marquis's mansion isn't part of the Princess's faction. Aren't you just causing trouble for your father by going there now?"
"But I heard that I'm getting engaged to Meng Qingqian. Wouldn't it be inappropriate not to go?"
"What engagement? That was just a desperate measure to gain the support of Marquis Wuqing; it's completely unrealistic. Besides, don't you want the South Sea Pearl anymore?"
"Yes, but..."
Meng Qingqian adopted a lecturing tone, "If you want the South Pearl, you can't have the Moonlit Night. Don't you understand that?"
He Yunxiao scratched his head. Generally speaking, it's like this: there's never a reason to marry two princesses. Unless he becomes the Emperor of Yan and uses his army to pressure the Qi Kingdom, forcing the Qi emperor to send his two older sisters to him.
