Wrapped In Golden Branch - Chapter 10
Chapter 10
Following the steps of the Guidance Book
“It hurts…” Li Kangning’s face suddenly turned pale. She took a breath and sobbed, “Don’t go in again…”
Pei Yizi clenched his teeth, beads of sweat slid down, and he tried to adjust his internal breath and suppress the desire to rush.
“You… didn’t you say you could do it?” The girl frowned slightly, tears in her eyes.
Self-blame instantly filled his heart; it was painful and sour, and Pei Yizi kissed her tears distressedly. He forced himself to withdraw and explained in a hoarse voice, “I am following the steps of the Guidance Book…”
“Don’t do it…” Li Kangning interrupted him. Seeing the soaked red dragon and phoenix-patterned bed sheet, she felt embarra$sed and wronged.
“Take it out. I want to take a bath. Let Zhi Lan and Pei Lan come in!” Her voice was soft and sweet, which made the man’s already crazy p*nis bounce and swell even bigger.
Li Kangning glanced at it casually and was secretly surprised- Such a terrifying and huge object would enter her body. Wouldn’t it hurt her to death? The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. She began to be glad that she had stopped him just now.
“Are you hurt?” Pei Yizhi opened her legs again, “Let me see.”
His arms were powerful, and Li Kangning knew she couldn’t break free from him, so she could only obey. Being stared at by him so directly, she trembled nervously. The bright red honey hole was still shining with crystal water stains, and the little bean that had just been sucked and licked by the man for a long time was now red, swollen, and hard. The almost-invaded delicate hole was red, but there was no sign of injury.
Pei Yizhi carefully checked it before he felt relieved. “The bathroom is always equipped with hot water. Can I carry you to wash?” He wrapped the girl’s body tightly with a brocade quilt as he spoke.
Li Kangning was about to refuse, but suddenly, she felt her body lighten, and a pair of strong arms held her horizontally. She subconsciously put her arms around the man’s neck.
“You…” Li Kangning was about to say something, but a strange fragment flashed through her mind very quickly- In the deserted mountains, a thin but unusually tall boy also held her horizontally like this.
Li Kangning shook her head, but she couldn’t rem*mber anything. She suddenly felt depressed, and her whole body was listless.
Pei Yizhi held her, stepped into the steaming hot bath pool together, and sat down. The water level suddenly rose and overflowed, “splashing” all over the floor. The Emperor and Empress specially built this bathing pool for their beloved daughter. The bathing pool was made with fine, smooth, transparent Hetian warm jade, and spring water from the nearby mountains was drawn in exclusively for the Princess. Perhaps it was very comfortable to soak in the hot spring; after a while, Li Kangning fell asleep with her head drooping.
Pei Yizhi stared at the girl’s sleeping face in his arms, and his heart softened. His Princess was so cute. He wanted to kiss her but was worried that he would disturb her sweet dream. When he finished washing Li Kangning, the bedsheets in the rosewood bed in the bedroom had already been replaced with a new set.
Pei Yizhi took a small white jade bottle from somewhere. When the bottle cap opened, a faint medicinal fragrance came out. He scooped out a large lump, rubbed it with his fingertips to warm it up, and then smeared it little by little on the girl’s delicate legs. After all the trouble, he was sweating all over. The big red candle with dragon and phoenix on the mahogany table had only burned slightly and would only burn out completely at dawn. He lowered his eyes to look at the still-hard object between his legs. The night was still long.
Compared with the Princess’s mansion, which had hanging lights and colorful decorations, the Huai’an Marquis mansion lingered in a stagnant and awkward atmosphere. Pei Yujin sat in the Zhufeng Courtyard, drinking alone under the moon. He almost crushed the wine gla$s in his hand when he thought he should have married the Princess today. If it were just a simple breakup, it would be fine. But the lowly half-brother who was inferior to him in every way replaced him and became the Prince Consort, taking away everything that should have belonged to him. He still couldn’t figure out why Du Ruoqing, who had admired him for many years, would put him in an unjust situation. Could it be that she was jealous?
Pei Yujin regretted it very much. He shouldn’t have had any contact with Du Ruoqing because of his momentary softness. He shouldn’t ruin his future so easily. He had to think of a way to reverse the situation. At this moment, a servant came trotting from the direction of the corner gate and approached him with a panicked look.
“Prince, Mrs. Jin is here again.”
“Do you want me to find an excuse to persuade her to leave?”
Pei Yujin frowned, pondered momentarily, and said, “No need.” He immediately stood up and walked towards the corner gate. From a distance, he saw a woman standing at the corner gate, looking around.
“What are you doing here?” Pei Yujin asked coldly.
Mrs. Jin hadn’t seen him for several months, and her eyes were concerned, “Why has the Heir lost so much weight?”
Pei Yujin frowned, “If nothing is important, I will return first.”
“No, no, no!” Mrs. Jin hurried to stop him. She then asked repeatedly: “What happened in the palace before? How come that bastard Pei Yizhi became the Prince Consort?”
Mrs. Jin was only a concubine of the Marquis Mansion and had no right to accompany the Emperor to the Rehe Palace. Marquis Huai’an and his son were unwilling to mention it to her. She racked her brains but couldn’t resolve why things had turned out like this. It should have been the Heir who married the Princess!
Today, the Princess married into the Marquis Huai’an mansion, and Mrs. Jin, the Prince Consort’s mother, was in the limelight. The ladies of the noble families who had never taken her seriously chatted with her in a friendly manner. However, she was not happy about it and was extremely depressed.
Pei Yujin lowered his voice and said angrily: “Madam, go ask your good niece, Miss Du. She knows the whole story best.”
“Ruoqing?” Mrs. Jin didn’t understand, “By the way, Ruoqing left the palace last month. Because the Princess was married, the palace dismissed a group of maids, including Ruoqing.”
She muttered: “A few days ago, a scholar from the Hanlin Academy asked a matchmaker to propose marriage to the Du family. The wedding date is set for the beginning of next month because the scholar is about to be assigned to work outside.”
Pei Yujin’s pupils trembled slightly, and his face was ashen- Did Du Ruoqing, that woman, after causing him to fall to this point, turn around and promise to marry someone else?
Mrs. Jin smiled again and said: “Heir, I thought of a way today. I came here tonight to discuss it with you…”
Pei Yujin patiently listened to her finish her words. After a long while, he said meaningfully: “If you want to do it, please do it cleanly and don’t involve our Huai’an Marquis Mansion.”
Mrs. Jin nodded hurriedly, “Of course.”
