Chapter 17: First Night (2)
"are you better?"
Seeing that Xiaolu and the maid had gone down, Zhou Yan turned around and asked about Han Ji's situation...
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I feel much better now!"
"That's good. Did you take your medicine on time?"
"Um!"
"What about eating?"
"Well, Xiaolu has prepared everything on time. Even if I don't want to eat it, that girl will force me to eat it—"
"Oh? Xiaolu is your personal maid that came with your dowry. It's only natural for her to take care of you!"
"What the prince said is——"
Han Ji was indescribably surprised by Zhou Yan's concern...
"By the way, Your Majesty, I heard that the dancer was assassinated. Is everything okay?"
When asked about Yin Yin, Zhou Yan remained expressionless and silent...
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, Princess , don't worry, just rest in peace!"
From Zhou Yan's stiff attitude, how could Han Ji not know that the only person who could make Zhou Yan so helpless was Yin Yin? Fortunately, nothing serious happened.
"Your Highness, the dancer is still unable to recover from her grief. I believe she will forget about it after a long time—"
Will he forget it? Now that she is pregnant with someone else 's child, what room does he have?
"...If Your Majesty can just give the dancer some time to calm down, I believe she will understand that Your Majesty did something irreparable only because He loves her too much. I will also enlighten the dancer. Although I cannot guarantee that she will forget her hatred for Your Majesty, at least she can reduce her hatred for Your Majesty, right?"
Seeing that the woman in front of him, who was his wife, was actually speaking for another woman, Zhou Yan couldn't say a word. Although he knew very well that Han Ji knew everything about him and Yin Yin, he just didn't expect Han Ji to be so magnanimous ...
"I will go find her when I recover, so Your Majesty does not need to work so hard. After all, Your Majesty still has many political affairs to attend to, so leave the dancer's affairs to me!"
Faced with Han Ji's innocent and faint smile, Zhou Yan's heart was actually shaken?
"Your Majesty?"
Seeing Zhou Yan staring at her intently, Han Ji felt a little nervous?
He reached out and touched Han Ji's face.
Zhou Yan's touch made Han Ji's heart beat faster.
"When did you become so cute?"
Caressing Han Ji's face, Zhou Yan showed a tenderness he had never shown to Han Ji before...
Slowly approaching Han Ji, he gently kissed her tender lips. Her lips were so soft and warm from the slight fever that he could not help but want to possess them greedily...
Han Ji was stunned by Zhou Yan's sudden kiss.
Let go of Han Ji and stare at her: "Don't show such a defenseless look in front of me!"
Zhou Yan's words made Han Ji shy instantly, her entire face flushed, and she subconsciously avoided Zhou Yan's sight. Han Ji's reaction made Zhou Yan's heart waver even more violently...
“I’ve already told you, don’t show your defenselessness in front of me and let someone sneak up on you!!”
While Zhou Yan was speaking, he turned Han Ji to face him.
Han Ji just felt shy and dared not look at Zhou Yan. Even when facing Zhou Yan, she did not dare to look directly at Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan stretched out his hand to lift Han Ji's chin and let her look at him. Han Ji's face flushed, and her eyes were clear and attractive. Unable to withstand Han Ji's defenseless and innocent reaction, Zhou Yan overwhelmed Han Ji...
"Do you want me to eat you?"
Zhou Yan's voice was surprisingly gentle, and he referred to himself as 'I' instead of 'this king'. Does this mean that he has let go of the constraints of his status towards Han Ji?
"Since I am your princess, it is only natural for you to eat me—"
Han Ji's shy and nervous tone aroused Zhou Yan's desire.
He didn't say anything else, but just greedily sucked her fragrance, his hands wandering around Han Ji's body. Han Ji's body temperature was a little high, which undoubtedly deepened Zhou Yan's burning desire...
The cold wind was howling outside the house, making people shiver.
The two people on the bed in the room were naked, sweating.
Hot and lingering.
Soft moans.
He found in her a pleasure he had never felt before.
In her he found a gentleness that was full of charm.
Like venting.
Like craving.
This was the first time Zhou Yan wanted someone so badly. He had never felt this way before...
The lingering echoes of each other took a long time to subside.
——The next morning——
Snowflakes were falling from the sky.
"I've already told you, Princess, just leave these things to me. Why do you have to come here in person?"
"It doesn't matter. I've been lying down for quite a while. If I don't do it myself, I'll get rusty sooner or later!"
In the corridor of the mansion, Han Ji and Xiao Lu were walking side by side. Judging from their posture, they should have just come out of the kitchen?
"You haven't recovered yet, and last night—"
Xiaolu stopped talking halfway, as soon as she heard that Zhou Yan had spent the night in Han Ji's room last night. Speaking of spending the night, everyone would know, right? Zhou Yan couldn't have not touched Han Ji, so it was conceivable that the marriage consummation that had been delayed for nearly three years finally became a reality, and the fact that Zhou Yan had spent the night in Han Ji's room spread throughout the palace in an instant!
Thinking of what happened last night, Han Ji couldn't help feeling shy. She seemed to still be able to feel the passion and tenderness of last night...
Before they knew it, they returned to the room and Zhou Yan seemed to be still asleep?
After gently putting down breakfast.
"Okay, now go and deliver the prepared breakfast to Concubine Yuan!"
"yes!!"
Xiaolu left quickly after hearing Han Ji's words.
Han Ji gently placed the tableware.
"Well--"
Han Ji quickly noticed the moan coming from the other side of the screen and walked to the other side of the screen. Zhou Yan just sat up...
"My Lord, you are up!"
Han Ji picked up the clothes beside her and handed them to Zhou Yan.
"There is still some time before the morning court session. I have already prepared breakfast. Please have breakfast before leaving, Your Highness!"
The level of care and thoughtfulness is amazing.
Han Ji helped Zhou Yan put on his clothes, taking care of them carefully. With close contact, the fragrance of blue and white porcelain filled his nose, and the hair beside his ears swayed slightly. After putting on his inner shirt, he turned around to get the brocade robe, but was unexpectedly stopped by Zhou Yan...
"Huh?"
Han Ji turned around and looked at Zhou Yan for no apparent reason, and found that Zhou Yan was looking at her...
He pulled Han Ji with a little force, and Han Ji immediately fell into Zhou Yan's arms, which startled Han Ji and made her shy again, because Zhou Yan's chest was so broad and warm; he held Han Ji's waist with one hand, making Han Ji close to him, and it was as expected. Han Ji was shy again and dared not look up, which made Zhou Yan feel inexplicably aroused...
He lifted Han Ji's chin with his hand again and made her look at him.
Her expression was still so vivid, her eyes were still so clear and attractive. Zhou Yan had never felt this way before. He felt that Han Ji was so lovable and he couldn't help wanting to possess her. He suddenly felt that he wanted more. Fortunately, he no longer suppressed it and madly kissed the lips that aroused his desire again, and pressed her down on the bed again...
Last night's tenderness and passion gradually reappeared.
For Zhou Yan, it doesn’t matter whether he attends the morning court or not. What matters is the pleasure he enjoys at this moment!
Time passes by little by little.
It was almost noon when the room became quiet again.
Han Ji, who was standing in front of the dressing table, had already put on her own clothes and was fixing her hair. After fixing her hair, she walked out of the screen. Zhou Yan had already changed his clothes and was sitting at the table...
After Han Ji came out, she walked to the table and prepared porridge for Zhou Yan.
"It's cold, I'll heat it up."
Han Ji was cleaning up the cold breakfast that was brought in the morning.
"No--"
"Huh??"
"It's almost noon anyway."
"Well, I'll go prepare lunch then."
"...Do you usually prepare meals when the king is at home?"
Recalling that the food Han Ji ate after the accident was obviously different from usual, it was obvious that it was not prepared by the same person. Zhou Yan was originally skeptical, but now from Han Ji's words, Zhou Yan seems to be able to confirm his thoughts...
Han Ji didn't say anything, but it seemed like she agreed?
"As the princess, you can just let the servants do these things. Why do you have to do it yourself? Do you want me to be accused of being so harsh that I have to cook for you personally?"
"...I just thought that when the prince is at home, I can at least fulfill my responsibilities as a wife and do what I can. I don't mean to embarrass the prince. If the prince doesn't like it, I will never do it again!"
Preparing meals for Zhou Yan is the only thing that makes Han Ji happy. If this is taken away from her, Han Ji will feel sad, right?
"That is not what the King meant—"
Seeing Han Ji's lost expression, Zhou Yan felt a little bit reluctant!
"Well?"
"Just pretend I didn't say anything just now!"
"Huh??"
In fact, Zhou Yan didn't want to blame Han Ji, he just wanted her to enjoy herself. Zhou Yan stood up and walked towards the door, but stopped when he was about to open the door: "... Last night and what happened before -"
Zhou Yan's hesitation in his voice made Han Ji curious, but did what he said last night and before refer to the two of them getting together?
"You'd better forget it——"
What is the meaning of these sudden words?
“… Okay, I understand!”
No questions, no rebuttals, no complaints, just silent nods!
"Why don't you ask anything?"
Zhou Yan couldn't understand Han Ji's surprisingly calm attitude.
Han Ji said with a smile: "The one the prince loves is the dancer, right? So the prince will not tolerate anyone else in his heart. Even as the princess, I have no right to have any feelings for the prince, right? So I will not do anything to embarrass the prince. I will pray for you and the dancer!!"
Should we say it is generosity? Or magnanimity? Or is it putting oneself out of the picture?
"...If I had met you earlier, perhaps I would have really fallen in love with you—"
Zhou Yan looked at Han Ji with a wry smile, then opened the door and left.
Watching Zhou Yan leave, the stiff smile on his face slowly turned into sadness, and he slowly sat down: "If I hadn't seen you, I wouldn't love you so much, right?"
Thinking of her feelings and Zhou Yan, Han Ji slowly lay on the table, her expression sad and dazed...
