Chapter 124 A Romantic Affair with the Princess
Liu Xiyu said softly, "It's alright, this is also the will of Heaven. Aunt Xincai has had a hard life and is frail and sickly. Now she has suffered this unexpected disaster. How can we stand idly by? Jinyan, you must rescue her from her suffering. This is my entrustment to you."
Xiao Jinyan responded in a low voice, though soft, it was unusually firm: "Rest assured, Princess, I will do my utmost, even if it means going through fire and water."
Just then, Liu Xiyu's delicate body, half-covered by the brocade quilt, suddenly swayed gently, carrying a hint of shyness and allure. She stretched out her soft, boneless arms and wrapped them around Xiao Jinyan's neck. Then, she gently kissed Xiao Jinyan's resolute cheek, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, yet full of tenderness: "This is an extra reward from me. After it's done, I have even more rewards waiting for you... to explore."
Xiao Jinyan was deeply moved by this sudden tenderness. He held Liu Xiyu tightly, gently stroking her silky hair with his large hand, and whispered, "After this is done, what I ask for is everything from the princess. The princess's jade feet, the princess's sweet kisses, the princess's body, and the princess's heart, I want them all!"
Liu Xiyu nestled tightly in Xiao Jinyan's arms, her cheek gently pressed against his firm chest, as if she could hear the rhythm of his heartbeat, resonating with her own frantic heartbeat.
“Jinyan,” her voice was barely audible, “I will give you whatever you want.”
This statement was both a promise and a temptation. Then, she whispered, "Next, you can speak louder so that everyone outside can hear you."
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly kissed Xiao Jinyan with an irresistible force. It was a passionate and deep kiss, carrying a tenderness and longing that she, as a princess, had never shown before.
Xiao Jinyan was overwhelmed by this sudden passion and hugged her tightly. Their kiss deepened as if they wanted to merge their souls into each other's bodies.
As they kissed, an indescribable power surged within Xiao Jinyan. He suddenly rolled over, gently pressing Liu Xiyu beneath him. Their breaths mingled, and their eyes shone with the same spark—a testament to desire and love.
On the way back to the Duke of Qi's mansion from the Princess's residence, Xiao Jinyan's steps were slightly unsteady, the soreness in his waist reminding him of the frenzy and intensity of his recent actions. However, beneath this exhaustion lay an indescribable sense of satisfaction and pleasure. The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, each step exuding an unprecedented ease and relief.
This time, he truly felt that Liu Xiyu seemed different from before, becoming more docile and interesting. She was no longer the aloof and unattainable princess, but a little woman he had gradually nurtured and awakened, her eyes sparkling with dependence and affection for him. This change gave him an unprecedented sense of accomplishment, as if he were conquering this once cold heart step by step.
As the sun set, Xiao Jinyan slowly entered the mansion. His steps were steady, but a hint of weariness was hard to hide between his brows.
Guan Lingxuan, dressed in a gossamer-thin purple gauze dress, gracefully approached, seemingly both displeased and curious.
"Husband, did you just return from Princess Heyang's residence?"
Xiao Jinyan nodded slightly: "Yes, the princess and I have some matters to discuss."
Guan Lingxuan's lips curled into a half-smile: "My husband and the princess certainly didn't discuss anything serious, did they?"
Xiao Jinyan said helplessly, "Why do you say that, Madam?"
A hint of mockery flashed in Guan Lingxuan's eyes: "Recently, news has been circulating in Jiankang City about my husband's romantic affair with Princess Heyang. It's already quite a scandal, spreading throughout the streets and alleys. I never expected that my husband would actually have such abilities, being able to easily 'seduce' even the high and mighty Princess Heyang. It's truly impressive."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan frowned slightly: "Madam, you are mistaken. I have urgent matters to discuss with the princess, matters of great importance concerning the nation and its people, and are by no means as frivolous as you might think..."
Xiao Jin thought to himself, "I wasn't lying, was I? Although I discussed important matters with Liu Xiyu in bed, we were indeed discussing matters of national importance, and we did some improper things along the way... that's all."
Unexpectedly, Guan Lingxuan stepped forward slowly with light, delicate steps, gently took Xiao Jinyan's arm, and whispered, "Husband, it was not easy for you to turn enemies into friends with Princess Heyang. Although there are occasional rumors and romantic tales circulating outside, I know in my heart that all of this is just paving the way for your future grand plans."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan's eyes revealed an undisguised sense of relief. He thought to himself, "Guan Lingxuan is really well-behaved now, and she knows how to prioritize the big picture."
He said softly, "My darling Xuan'er, you are so understanding and so good."
As he spoke, he unconsciously hugged Guan Lingxuan tighter and gently kissed her fair forehead.
Guan Lingxuan's face instantly flushed crimson. She hugged Xiao Jinyan's neck tightly, her eyes sparkling with determination and deep affection: "Husband, Xuan'er is not an ignorant person. I know the heavy burden on your shoulders and the pressure in your heart. Husband, you don't always have to deliberately make me happy, making Xuan'er feel like a burden."
Xiao Jinyan was deeply touched by these words. He looked at Guan Lingxuan with affection and a gentle smile appeared on his lips: "Xuan'er, you are truly my soulmate. I love you more and more."
As soon as he finished speaking, he could no longer restrain his emotions. He pulled Guan Lingxuan into a tight embrace, then lowered his head and kissed her lips passionately.
Guan Lingxuan was slightly taken aback at first, then completely immersed herself in the passionate and deep kiss. Their kiss was like the most beautiful flower in spring, ardent and tender.
After a long while, they slowly separated. Guan Lingxuan's breathing was slightly disordered, but it was filled with satisfaction and happiness: "Husband, it's alright now. We're in the courtyard, and the servants are watching."
Xiao Jinyan gently stroked Guan Lingxuan's pert nose, his eyes full of doting and tenderness: "Okay, baby, then I'll pamper you again later."
Guan Lingxuan smiled radiantly, her cheeks slightly flushed: "By the way, my husband, Green Pearl is looking for you."
Xiao Jinyan raised an eyebrow slightly: "Where is she? I need to talk to her."
Upon hearing this, Guan Lingxuan wondered to herself, "Something's wrong? What is it? Sexual matters?"
"It's still in the same courtyard as last time."
Guan Lingxuan said softly, her fingers unconsciously twirling the ends of her hair, appearing somewhat uneasy.
"Alright, Madam, I'll go talk to her about something."
Xiao Jinyan gently patted Guan Lingxuan's shoulder, then turned to leave.
Just then, Guan Lingxuan suddenly called out to him: "Husband, if you like Lüzhu, you can take her as a concubine. It's not good for you two to be in this ambiguous situation."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan paused, turned to look at Guan Lingxuan, his eyes filled with complexity and helplessness: "Xuan'er, it's not that I'm unwilling to take Lüzhu as a concubine, it's just that she still has to stay in Mianyue Pavilion."
