After sending away the guests, Ming Shu found a steamed bun and ate it as she walked tiredly towards her room.
Squeakâ
The room was refurbished. Red silks hung in the room. Red words were pasted everywhere.
The red candle burned slowly. The lighting in the room made it look ambiguous.
There were some food and drinks on the table.
Ming Shu finished the last bite of the steamed bun and closed the door.
She could see the figure behind the screen. She glanced at the food on the table. In the end, she poured two glasses of wine and walked toward the screen.
Shen Pin was sitting on the bed. When Ming Shu walked in, he raised his head. His eyes were filled with happiness.
Ming Shu sighed. She should have eaten two more steamed buns before coming.
Ming Shu passed him a glass of wine.
She wanted to just drink it normally, but Shen Pin stopped her. They had cross-cupped wine.
Ming Shu was standing so she needed to bent down.
She smelled the fragrance on Shen Pinâs body. He blinked. âLady, this is how you should drink wine on the day of the wedding.â
Ming Shu patted his head and replicated his actions.
âLady, shall I undress you?â
Since they had to do it, Ming Shu let him undress her.
Shen Pin took off her outerwear. Then, he held her hand and guided her to the bed. He started undressing.
This had all been taught in the palace.
He went to review it before his wedding.
Shen Pin was nervous so his hand trembled as he undressed. Ming Shu waited for a long time before deciding to act on her own. She pulled Shen Pin toward her and took off his clothes quickly.
Shen Pinâs body was very soft. This was an entirely different experience from the other Qi Yus.
Last time, if she didnât stop Qi Yu, he would tire her out.
Now...
He was seductive and enchanting.
This was the difference in a man from Fengqi State.
âDonât.â Ming Shu stopped Shen Pin, who wanted to continue. âYour health is the most important.â
Shen Pinâs face was red. His eyes were misty. âAre you worried about me?â
âYes, yes, yes.â You are right.
Shen Pin blinked. He leaned against Ming Shuâs chest and calmed his breathing.
A certain part of his body was still erect. It showed no signs of going down.
Ming Shu grabbed the blanket and placed it over him. âAre you hungry?â
Shen Pin was a little dizzy. He took a while to answer her.
âShall we have some food then?â Ming Shu suggested. She was famished.
She hadnât eaten the entire day.
âYes,â Shen Pin replied.
Ming Shu asked people to heat up the food before dressing him. Then, she carried him out.
Ming Shu hugged Shen Pin as she ate the food. Shen Pin didnât eat much. He just watched Ming Shu as she ate. Occasionally, he would feed her some food.
âDo you want some soup?â Ming Shu placed the spoon beside Shen Pinâs mouth.
âAre you going to feed me?â
âIâm feeding you...â Are you a pig!
Shen Pinâs face was still red. He looked cute. He licked the spoon like a kitten.
He looked at Ming Shu. âI want... you to feed me with your mouth.â
Ming Shu: â...â
Ming Shu finished the soup in one mouthful.
Shen Pin: â...â
Ming Shu pushed the bowl away and poured a glass of wine for herself. She drank it and then kissed Shen Pin. The wine entered Shen Pinâs mouth.
Shen Pin couldnât swallow in time so some wine dribbled out of his mouth corners.
Ming Shu leaned back. âDo you still want more?â
Shen Pin nodded slightly.
Ming Shu poured another glass of wine and fed Shen Pin the same way.
âShen Pin.â Ming Shu hugged him.
âYes?â
âDo you regret getting together with me?â
âWhy would I regret?â Shen Pin said. âFrom the moment I saw you, I knew that I will only marry you.â
âIsnât that weird?â
Shen Pin touched Ming Shuâs hair. He swung his legs. âI find it weird too. Iâve never had this feeling before.
âI felt that Iâve forgotten something. There is an emptiness in me. However, when I see you, I feel that Iâve found what Iâve forgotten. I donât feel empty in my heart anymore.
âI will not regret it. Never.â
Ming Shu pressed his legs down and covered them with his clothes. âNo matter what happens in the future, you will not regret it?â
âYes!â Shen Pin nodded firmly. âI just want to be with you.â
After a while, Ming Shu kissed his forehead.
âI understand.â
...
Shen Pin didnât remember when he fell asleep. When he got up, Ming Shu was still beside him. He felt warm in his heart.
âYou are awake.â Ming Shu put down the snacks in her hand. âItâs afternoon already. You are a good sleeper.â
Shen Pin smiled and reached out. âLady, I want a hug.â
The blanket slid down and revealed Shen Pinâs body. There were love bites on his body.
Ming Shu threw his clothes at him. âPut on your clothes.â
Shen Pin didnât get angry. He jumped out of the blanket and gave Ming Shu an enthusiastic hug.
Since you donât want to hug me, I will hug you!
Ming Shu: â...â
The little demon is so irritating.
...
The news that Princess Seven was a man became a hot topic among the civilians. Everyone thought that Shen Yu would punish Princess Seven.
However, nothing happened.
Since Shen Pin was a man, the rumor last time was set aside.
The people that wanted to create trouble for Ming Shu kept a low profile for the moment.
Three days after the wedding, Duanmu Shu became critically ill.
Shen Yu couldnât be bothered with Ming Shu anymore. She stayed with Duanmu Shu every day. She killed many imperial physicians, but Duanmu Shu didnât get better.
Ming Shu heard that Duanmu Shu had given up on living.
If you saved a person who wanted to die, he would still find other ways to kill himself.
Shen Yu didnât go to the morning sessions these past few days.
Shen Yu pampered Shaoyao during this period of time, but in her heart, she still loved Duanmu Shu the most.
Unfortunately, the male protagonist would rather die than stay with Shen Yu.
Impressive!
âYou said that Shen Yan is in Daliang State before. How do you know that?â
Shen Pin was massaging Ming Shuâs shoulders when he heard her question. He stopped for a moment and replied, âBecause I sent Sister Four away.â
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. âYou have the ability to do this?â
âOf course. Iâm quite amazing.â Shen Pin leaned forward and whispered in Ming Shuâs ear, âYou should know this.â
Shen Pin was referring to the assassins they met last time. He didnât mean anything else.
However, he leaned too close to Ming Shu. Ming Shuâs thoughts went astray.
She coughed. âWhy did you help Shen Yan?â
Shen Pin asked her back, âWhy are you interested in Sister Four?â
âBecause she should be the one on the throne.â
âHuh?â Shen Pin lowered his hands and hugged Ming Shu. âI thought that you wanted the throne.â
