Chapter 65.2

Yaoniang blushed immediately and wanted to pretend to be dead. Jin Wang's eyes were too hot.

Peeking over to the side, she realized that Hong Chou and the others had already retreated. She leaned forward and gave him a light kiss on the cheek like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water. She was about to retreat but was pulled in closer by him, deepening the kiss.

Jin Wang seemed to be in a constant state of excitement, and it appeared that he wanted more than Yaoniang expected.

It was early autumn and the sun was shining outside. The two of them sat on the Luohan bed in the East Chamber, and through the windows, they could faintly see the flowers and trees outside.

In the courtyard, Hong Die was telling the young maids to get to work. Although she had lowered her voice, it was still so clear to the ears of those who were listening. Outside the door, in the corridor, still stood a few maids. Even if Yaoniang did not go out, she knew that in her heart.

There was no door between the East Chamber and the main hall. There was only a floor-to-ceiling covering. It felt like someone could lift the bead curtain and come inside anytime, which added a sense of stimulus.

Jin Wang went to pull Yaoniang's clothes, but Yaoniang pressed on his hand to stop him. She was too familiar with this look of his and knew that nothing good would come out of it.

If Jin Wang heard her thoughts, he would’ve felt wronged. What he had in mind was something good.

Yaoniang was flustered, she wanted to reject him but was afraid that he would be annoyed. This challenged her nerves too much. But Jin Wang was more determined than she was. Since she didn’t allow him to pull on the upper part, he would take off her lower part. By the time Yaoniang reacted, he was already inside.

From the outside, the two behaved as usual. Their clothes were neat and tidy. She was sitting on his lap and they looked close to each other, but there was nothing wrong with that. What couldn’t be seen was that under her skirt, everything was in complete disarray.

Jin Wang’s handsome and fair face was as before, but under his half-closed stunning eyes was a shadow of restraint. Yaoniang faintly saw a touch of red, but it disappeared in a flash.

Their foreheads touched, and Jin Wang said, "Do it like when we were in the carriage last time…"

Yaoniang didn't dare to look at him. When she heard this, she was so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in. But she also knew that this was a good start. He has changed so much from her previous life and seemed to have started being more considerate towards her. What she needed to do was make him think of her even more.

It’d be best if he could have her on the tip of his heart and never let go.

Plus, she felt very flustered and that shameful place was tingling. His voice was also so mellow that she couldn't help but want to obey him.

She peered at his face. It was so close to herself.

Thick black hair was gathered on the top of his head, secured with a rose gold crown inlaid with sapphire gems. He wore an indigo satin robe and on his shoulders were two dragon patterns embroidered with gold thread. Noble and majestic.

What attracted her the most was the pair of phoenix eyes flying under his long brows. His eyes were extremely beautiful, from the slightly drooping inner corners to the lifted ends of the eyes. They resembled those drawn in ink paintings.

She thought to herself that she also liked him. Even if he was bullying her, she still liked him a lot.

It's just that normally she would ignore all this, pretending that she actually didn’t like him at all.

All of a sudden, in an imposing manner, he looked at her. "Then have this prince do it?"

That would not be good. If he was the one to do it, don’t even think about getting anything else done all morning. By then, all those maids and servants would know what they were doing.

"Let me!" said Yaoniang in a hurry. She moisturized her dry lips, and said nervously, "But Your Highness, don't move. You must keep your word."

Then she hugged his neck and began to move gently.

…

It was the first time for Jin Wang to finish so fast.

Even so, it still took more than half an hour.

Yaoniang was so tired. After the incident, she pushed Jin Wang away and went into the bathroom without daring to lift her head. Not long after, she returned and saw that Jin Wang was still sitting there, no different from how she had left him before. She blushed, lowered her eyes, and handed a wet cloth over. Then she turned around and stood to the side.

It wasn't until a soft cough came from behind her that she picked up the cloth and took it into the bathroom.

After she came back, the two of them sat on the Luohan bed again, and there was a sound of footsteps. Standing outside the beaded curtains, Hong Fei asked, "Madam, would you like a change of tea?"

Yaoniang looked around with a guilty conscience and stammered, "Change, change."

Hong Fei left. Jin Wang looked at her shamelessly and said, "Looking like this, who do you think you can hide from?" 

Yaoniang didn't bother to reply to him, but she also knew that he was telling the truth. When Hong Fei came in again, she was already mentally prepared. Unperturbed, she pretended that nothing had happened.

It was noon, and Jin Wang stayed here for lunch.

After eating, he took a short nap.

He could sleep, but Yaoniang couldn't sleep. Thinking that she hadn’t seen Xiaobao all morning, she quietly got down the bed and went to the West Chamber.

Three maids served Xiaobao: Chun'er, Qiu'er and Ah Xia. There was also a wet nurse surnamed He.

When Yaoniang arrived, Nanny He was standing to the side at a loss, while Xiaobao was sitting on the couch, seemingly unhappy.

"What's the matter?" Yaoniang asked as she walked over and picked up Xiaobao.

"The young master won’t drink milk. This servant tried to feed him, but he pushed me away…" Nanny He was a young woman in her twenties, with a round face and smooth skin. Although her skin was not fair, she looked very ruddy and healthy.

Upon hearing this, Yaoniang glanced at her son and said, "This child doesn't want to eat. I tried to feed him but he didn't want it. At his age, he can already eat rice gruel, noodle soup and other stuff like that. As for milk, squeeze it out then feed him with a spoon."

Nanny He nodded.

At this time, Ah Xia walked in from outside carrying a bowl. She was a little surprised when she saw Yaoniang, and said, "This courtyard doesn’t have a small kitchen and young master’s eating habits are also a problem. This servant went to the main kitchen and personally watched them make a bowl of noodle soup." It could be regarded as an explanation for why she was not here.

Once she mentioned this, Yaoniang felt a headache.

Her meals for the past two days were delivered from Zhaohui Hall because Jin Wang ate all three meals at her place. But Jin Wang couldn’t stay with her every day. So when Jin Wang was away, she must eat meals from the main kitchen.

The food from the main kitchen, Yaoniang knew what it tasted like without having to eat it. She had eaten it too many times in her previous life. But it was precisely the meals from the main kitchen that made Yaoniang have fear in her heart. The last meal from her previous life was ordered by the consort and it was sent from the main kitchen.

This was also the main reason why Yaoniang hadn't figured out who had harmed her. There were too many people working in the main kitchen, and she had no idea who could’ve added something secretly into the dishes.

Ah Xia was smart, knowing that she must personally watch them make it in the main kitchen. Yaoniang was very grateful and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

"This is what this servant should do and it wasn’t too much trouble." Ah Xia asked Nanny He to bring over a piece of cloth and wrapped it around Xiaobao’s neck before she brought the bowl over to feed him.

Yaoniang gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go beg His Highness later to see if a small kitchen could be set up in Rongxi Courtyard.”

Xiaobao, who was sucking the soft noodles into his mouth, glanced at his mother. His mother was finally smart. It was not in vain that he deliberately resisted drinking milk, clamouring to eat food. With the right to do something, if it was not used, it would expire. The same goes for being favoured. There were too many variables in this life and Xiaobao could only think of ideas in his heart.

Hearing this, Ah Xia said very happily, "If a small kitchen could be set up, it would be great. This servant could also help with the cooking."

Yaoniang laughed and said, "When would it be your turn to cook? Since Xiaobao likes you, then just help me take care of him."

Ah Xia looked at the cute Xiaobao who was slurping noodles. "This servant also likes the young master and has never seen such a cute baby."
