In the candlelight, their clothes were strewn all over the floor, and the quilt was kicked into a mess. After a while, the quilt was tossed aside, revealing the two of them in all their naked glory.
Li Xinrong was like a startled rabbit, with red - rimmed eyes. She covered her chest with both hands and shrank back into the bed. Her lips were moist, glistening in the candlelight. "What are you doing?"
"I want, I want to see how you're different from me."
He had been thinking about it for a long time but never had the chance. Finally, he got the opportunity and just wanted to take a look to satisfy his curiosity.
"Wife, wife! Good wife, just satisfy me this once!" The young marquis pleaded, his fingers twiddling, looking at Li Xinrong pitifully.
Li Xinrong tightened her legs and scolded him for being a hooligan in embarrassment.
But this hooligan kept coaxing her to let him take a look. Amidst her half - hearted resistance, she slowly spread her legs. He gazed intently at the moist peony. Perhaps due to shock, the bud was slightly closed. When he gently prodded it, the petals slowly bloomed.
The owner of the flower let out a soft moan.
He was instantly captivated and couldn't wait to pluck the flower.
She unconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck, her heart like a floating duckweed, swaying with his caresses.
The spring breeze of the night turned into a gentle rain, densely falling on the flower stamen. The petals slowly bloomed, showing their delicate beauty.
Early the next morning, as the sun was just rising, the marquis's carriage was already waiting outside the palace.
The young marquis and Princess Fourteen came to bid farewell to their parents and elder brother before heading back to the marquis's mansion.
At this moment, everyone noticed that the two of them were quite different today.
The young marquis put his arm around Li Xinrong's slender waist, smiling triumphantly and looking extremely proud.
Li Xinrong's eyes were full of affection, blushing shyly. She even had to support her waist when walking.
The experienced people present immediately understood what had happened and were stunned!
The queen also gave up the idea of annulling their marriage.
The young marquis finally acted like a real man. He not only stopped crying and behaving disgracefully but also apologized to the emperor and the queen for his previous misbehavior.
Previously, he had been dissatisfied with the marriage and had given up on himself.
Now, he promised to be a proper man and set a good example for his wife and future children!
The emperor and the queen were so shocked that they didn't even have time to blink. They wondered whether the young marquis from last time had been impersonated or if it was this one.
Li Xinrong nodded eagerly, saying that she believed in him.
The emperor and the queen had nothing more to say and could only wish them a long - lasting and harmonious marriage.
The crown prince lovingly stroked her head and told her to restrain her temper from then on, to be united with her husband, and to support each other.
The queen gave the crown prince a meaningful look.
The crown prince coughed lightly with his hands behind his back and then looked at Li Xinyue.
Li Xinyue shrugged, indicating that she had nothing more to say.
When Li Xinrong and the young marquis looked at Li Xinyue, they saw her faint smile and instantly blushed, feeling that she had anticipated what had happened last night.
"Let's go, let's go quickly!" Li Xinrong grabbed the young marquis's front lapel and fled in a hurry.
"Wife, don't leave me!" The young marquis rushed away.
The emperor and the queen were dissatisfied. "Those are your elder sister and brother - in - law! It's impolite not to say goodbye!"
The two of them ran even faster, wishing they could fly out of the palace.
Li Xinyue laughed so hard that she was on the verge of falling over, but was steadily supported by Chu Junyi.
The emperor, the queen, and the crown prince looked over blankly, curious about what had happened among the three of them.
But Li Xinyue said nothing and pulled Chu Junyi out of the palace with her.
Many years later, the emperor, the queen, and the crown prince finally figured out the mystery.
...
"Wife, you smell so good! Wife, you taste so sweet!"
Since their wedding night when they first consummated their marriage, the young marquis seemed to have discovered a wonderful secret and always found ways to get Li Xinrong to try various positions.
"Wife, relax, relax."
After Li Xinrong was kissed dizzy and her eyes were blurred, the young marquis pushed her onto the table, took off her clothes, and reached for the "flowers and grass".
Li Xinrong was so embarrassed that she tried to sit up. Her legs tightened involuntarily but were then involuntarily spread by the young marquis's caresses.
"Xia Chengjie, you, you're being so reckless!"
"Wife, make it up to me. Studying is so hard and tiring. I need the encouragement of love."
Li Xinrong grabbed a book beside her and threw it at him.
The young marquis grinned shamelessly, then nimbly jumped onto the table, picked up his wife, and made her kneel on the table.
Li Xinrong didn't want to, but the young marquis kept coaxing and caressing her, and she was forced to assume one embarrassing position after another.
The autumn wind blew, making the bamboo curtain sway slightly. Outside, the osmanthus flowers were in full bloom, and the birds were singing on the branches.
The satisfied young marquis was full of energy and looked extremely excited. His enthusiasm for studying was as strong as an arrow off the string. Everyone in the marquis's mansion was stunned and started to burn incense and pray, saying that the ancestors and the Buddha had shown their blessings and that the marquis's mansion was going to prosper.
However, this excitement only lasted for three days. In those three days, they saw the reality clearly.
It seemed that they would never see their young marquis become as well - read and talented as the other son - in - law in their lifetimes.
The young marquis himself was almost driven to tears by his own useless constitution that made him sleepy as soon as he touched a book.
He thought that his playboy and useless image was all an act, but it turned out that half of it was real.
He had been looking at the book in front of him for an hour. He clearly recognized all the characters, but when they were put together, he didn't understand them.
Moreover, waves of drowsiness kept coming over him. His eyelids began to droop involuntarily.
As soon as his head tilted down slightly, the rope hanging above his head tightened, almost pulling off his scalp.
The young marquis yelped in pain.
A thick wooden stick as big as a bowl flew in through the window and almost hit him on the head. He barely managed to dodge it.
"Xia Chengjie, I've made such great sacrifices for you. If you don't strive harder, I'll go back to the capital!" Li Xinrong supported the wall with one hand and her waist with the other, her legs trembling.
If it weren't for encouraging him and hoping that he would strive harder, would she have to suffer from a sore back and trembling legs every night?
It would be better not to have such a husband if this was all her sacrifice got her!
"Wife, wife! I'm tired. I apply for a break!"
Xia Chengjie felt very guilty. He wanted to study hard to repay his wife's kindness, but it was just too difficult.
He really couldn't focus on his studies.
"Aren't you just taking a break an hour ago? Hurry up and study hard!"
Another thick wooden stick magically appeared behind Li Xinrong and hit the table hard, making the writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones on the table tremble slightly.
The young marquis pouted and looked at his wife pitifully. "Wife, you promised to be a gentle lady. Don't do this. I'm scared."
"Yes, I promised to be a gentle lady on the premise that you study hard! Since you can't do it, why should I?"
Xia Chengjie was on the verge of tears.
Just then, the old marquis passed by.
The young marquis shouted excitedly, "Dad, help me!"
Li Xinrong turned around.
The old marquis, supported by Lu'er, ran away quickly.
The young marquis collapsed in tears in front of the desk. As a result, he pulled the rope above his head again, and his scalp hurt.
Just like this, the daily life in the marquis's mansion was either in chaos or on the way to chaos.
During the day, the young marquis was tortured by Li Xinrong and yelped in pain. At night, Li Xinrong was tortured by the young marquis and yelped in pain. The couple loved and fought with each other, and their life was so harmonious.
