"Qing, come back to the mansion. It's up to you!" It was a clear invitation. Mei Qingxue's face flushed slightly. This was the first time she had been so bold and proactive. Du Guqing was overjoyed.
"Okay," his voice trembled uncontrollably. This was the first time his Xue... had allowed him such indulgence!
"You fool!"
"Meeting you makes me willing to be a fool," Du Guqing's eyes were brimming with smiles. He meant every word.
When Mei Qingxue first married into the mansion, he knew she was unhappy. He let her do as she pleased. Even his concubines were under her control. As long as he had her, he didn't care about anyone else.
"Um." Mei Qingxue could feel Du Guqing's affection. Her nose tingled. In this life, she had the family, the lover, and the happiness she desired. What more could she ask for?
As soon as they returned to the Crown Prince's Mansion, Du Guqing jumped out of the carriage first. He scooped Mei Qingxue up in his arms and strode straight into the Qingxue Pavilion. Xuan Qiao covered her mouth and giggled secretly.
"Miss Xuan Qiao, why are you so happy?"
"The prince and the princess are so in love. It's definitely something to be happy about," Xuan Qiao looked puzzled at Han Chao's question. "Since we don't need to serve them now, let's go and visit Sister Yue Ru. It's just half a street away. We can tell Uncle Fu to find us at her place."
"Isn't it inappropriate if the prince can't find us later?" Han Chao said honestly. Although he was eager to go back and see his wife and children, he couldn't leave his post without permission.
"The prince won't blame us. Come on. I haven't seen Sister Yue Ru for ages," Xuan Qiao took the lead and walked out. At this time, leaving the mansion wouldn't incur the prince's blame as long as they didn't disturb the loving couple.
"Sister Yue Ru," Xuan Qiao saw Yue Ru holding a tiny baby as soon as she entered the door. A little girl was carefully attending to her. "Qicai, go and pour Sister Xuan Qiao a cup of red - date tea."
"Red - date tea is all we have at home. Just make do with it," Yue Ru said while coaxing the baby. Qicai was a poor girl bought by Mei Qingxue when Yue Ru was pregnant. She was very sensible. Her family had arranged a marriage for her, and she was very well - behaved. Mei Qingxue had examined her thoroughly before putting her by Yue Ru's side.
She was afraid of getting an unruly girl. Yue Ru might not be able to manage her in the future. What was meant to be a kind act could turn out to be a disaster.
Mei Qingxue was especially cautious.
"Why are you here?"
"The mansion is quiet now, so Brother Han Chao and I sneaked out to see you. We'll have to go back to work soon. The princess even asked about you today,"
"She's the Crown Princess," Han Chao reminded. They just couldn't get used to calling Mei Qingxue by her official title in private. "We only say it in private. We won't make a mistake on other occasions," Yue Ru said with a smile, knowing that her husband was a strict man who would never offend the Crown Prince or the Crown Princess.
"What did the princess say about me?"
"She's waiting for you to bring the baby into the mansion after you've recovered from childbirth so she can have a look," Xuan Qiao rolled her eyes at her sister Yue Ru. How could she forget the princess's kindness just because she had married well?
"Of course I'll let her see the baby. Isn't the princess busy recently? This baby is so fussy. I'm afraid it will disturb her."
"That's true. But Sister Yue Ru, this red - date tea is really delicious. How do you make it? Teach me. I'll make it for the princess when I get back,"
"The princess has tasted everything. Would she really like this red - date tea?"
"Our princess is not an ordinary person. She won't mind," Xuan Qiao said casually. After being with the princess for a while, she found that although the princess could be a bit mischievous, she was very easy to get along with. As long as one followed her wishes, there would be no problems. Xuan Qiao hoped that when she was old enough, she could marry as well as Sister Yue Ru.
"Sister, have you given the baby a name?"
"Not yet. Why rush to name a baby?" Han Chao said cheerfully, "Let's just call him Smelly Egg. A humble name is easier for the child to grow up healthy."
"Smelly Egg? Brother Han Chao, you really can say anything. When you see the Crown Princess later, tell her your baby's name is Smelly Egg." Xuan Qiao rolled her eyes at the name.
"Haha, I forgot!" Han Chao scratched his head and laughed loudly. The baby was startled and started crying loudly.
"Look, you've scared the baby," Yue Ru said dissatisfiedly as she picked up the baby to comfort it. After a long time, the baby's cries didn't subside. "You'd better go back to work quickly. Your loud voice!"
"Then, Sister Yue Ru, I'll go back to work too," Xuan Qiao finished the red - date tea and reluctantly left the little cottage filled with the smell of milk.
"Xue," Du Guqing buried his face in Mei Qingxue's neck. His body thrust into her again and again. Waves of electric current coursed through Mei Qingxue's body. Her toes curled up and then spread out in pleasure.
"Um?" Her kitten - like moan made Du Guqing's heart flutter. Looking at the blushing woman in his arms, he knew she was also aroused. Du Guqing lowered his head and kissed the corner of her mouth.
"Why isn't it happening for you even though I'm trying so hard?" One of his hands brushed across her flat abdomen, his face full of regret. "It will happen when the time is right. Why are you so impatient?"
From the time they got married until now, he had always been so eager. At first, he was afraid he didn't have much time left and wanted to leave a child for her. But now, was it just to silence those people?
"I just want a child that belongs to you and me. Really, I think he will be as smart as you or as handsome and elegant as me!"
"You're so vain. I'm still young. It's not too late to have a child in a couple of years. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"It seems I'm not trying hard enough. Xue still has so much energy," Du Guqing said with a sly smile and increased the intensity of his thrusts. Mei Qingxue felt as if her body was swaying in the clouds or like a small boat on a lake, gently rocking with the waves.
"Qing," hearing her soft voice, Du Guqing thrust deeply. Their bodies fit together even more tightly.
Her warmth enveloped his excitement. Du Guqing let out a low growl in his throat. Unable to control his desire any longer, his passion sent the already limp Mei Qingxue soaring into the clouds again and again.
The words about trying to restrain himself had long been forgotten. Her sweetness and beauty made it impossible for him to suppress the fire in his heart.
Mei Qingxue let out a soft moan. The man above her increased his strength. Although she knew she would be sore and achy the next day, she was willing and even indulged in this feeling.
She would rather be closely intertwined with him for the rest of her life, never to be separated.
Du Guqing suddenly increased his strength again. Once again, they soared into the clouds together.
Mei Qingxue felt his powerful thrusts and even the hot essence he released inside her.
Mei Qingxue could feel Du Guqing's body gradually relaxing on top of her. Their bodies were sticky with sweat as they clung to each other. Even after releasing his essence, Du Guqing didn't want to let her go. He gently kissed her body and his hands roamed over her.
Before long, she felt a change in a certain part of the man's body.
She let out a scream, "Du Guqing, you liar!" Didn't he say he would try to restrain himself? Was this the result of his restraint? Would he go on until dawn?
Du Guqing said aggrievedly, "My dear wife promised me that I could do as I pleased when we got back to the mansion."
This was what the Crown Princess had promised him today. He wasn't wrong, was he...
Mei Qingxue gritted her teeth in anger. "Next time, I'll limit the number of times," seeing the sly smile on his face, she added, "And limit the time." Seeing his aggrieved face, she felt satisfied.
She thought to herself, I'll teach you a lesson. Every time it's me who's too sore to get out of bed. I'll teach you a lesson for your insatiable desires. Let's see who suffers.
But Mei Qingxue forgot that it was because she had ignored Du Guqing for a long time that he was so passionate.
"Xue, don't do this, okay?" His only pleasure was going to be restricted. Du Guqing forced a smile. It was just that he hadn't been with her for a long time and had lost control for a moment. "There's no room for negotiation."
"Next time, I'll really restrain myself!"
Du Guqing gritted his teeth and vowed. Mei Qingxue just shook her head. She wouldn't be fooled by this jerk again. Every time she was the one who suffered.
"Xue," when Mei Qingxue shook her head, Du Guqing gritted his teeth and decided to be bold. Ignoring Mei Qingxue's objections, he launched another attack. The slippery place clearly showed that she was also aroused. "Bad..." The word "egg" didn't come out before Du Guqing's kiss blocked her mouth. The deep and shallow kisses made waves of electric current course through her body. Mei Qingxue collapsed limply in his arms again, unable to say a single word of objection.
"Xue, don't be so strict. It will drive me crazy," Du Guqing took the opportunity to voice his wish while Mei Qingxue was relaxed.
"Um," Mei Qingxue replied absent - mindedly. Only later did she realize that she had agreed to this scoundrel's unreasonable request again. Every time he would take advantage of her when she was not fully awake. Next time, she would flatly deny it.
"Xue, you're so kind."
After the previous satisfaction, Du Guqing's movements became gentler. They didn't know how long they had been entangled. When Mei Qingxue was extremely sleepy, she casually glanced out of the window.
The sky was just starting to brighten, and the morning star in the sky was so dazzling.
Finally, unable to hold on any longer, she fell asleep in Du Guqing's arms. Du Guqing shook his head helplessly. He lovingly kissed Mei Qingxue's eyebrows, knowing it was his fault. After releasing his essence again, he hugged his lover and fell asleep with her.
Although they could only sleep for a few hours, Du Guqing was very happy. There was a satisfied smile on his face.
Holding the person he loved most was his greatest satisfaction. The position of the crown prince meant nothing to him. All he wanted was her. Since she said this position was the most suitable for him, he would fight for it. Now that he had this position, it was for her, for the people she cared about, and for the world...
He brushed the sweat - soaked hair on Mei Qingxue's cheek to the side, kissed her again, and then closed his eyes, contentedly hugging her to sleep.
