Chapter 2: Traversing Figure [R18]
When the guards outside came in to change the water. They saw that the garments of their usually composed right chancellor* disarrayed and his intimate underclothes unb.u.t.toned. Whereas the lady in his arms was tightly sealed.
*TL-note: There are sometimes two chancellors, differentiated as being “of the left” (senior) and “of the right” (junior).
The two of them brought the water inside then hurriedly left and closed the door.
The man then carried the figure in his arms and walked behind the folding screen.
He removed the quilt and placed the pa.s.sed out figure into the water then stepped in himself.
The already not very big bathtub felt even more crowded with two people inside.
He moved the water around and began to wash the young lady’s satin skin. The flawless white skin was now covered in faint red marks.
He recalled her feminine appearance while his slender finger continued to slide down, past her lower abdomen. His finger arrived at the place that had just made him feel as if he was in heaven and entered.
Yes!
The man quietly sighed. He could not believe that after three times, this place still clung tightly to his finger and was as tight as the first time.
The figure who was still asleep frowned slightly at the foreign object inside her and moved her legs to get away but this only made it deeper.
The man’s eyes deepened and a heat wave gathered in his lower abdomen. The once fallen giant dragon now stood up more domineering than ever and he slowly flipped the young lady into his arms. He then held that slender waist into position and set her down.
“Ah! No……” The young lady’s eyes immediately shot open and faced his smiling eyes as he sharply pierced through. She was unable to get a clear look as movements began underneath and water splashed out of the bathtub. Everything within half a metre radius was soaked wet.
It was not until midnight when nothing else can be heard that everything finally stopped.
……
The sun had long since been up by the time the beautiful young lady leisurely woke up.
She moved gently but felt as if she had been crushed by a car, there was not a spot that did not hurt.
The room was empty therefore he must be at court but around this time, he should be home soon.
She was a modern person and was already used to a democratic rule. Even when trapped in a royal princess’ body, she still did not like it when other people meddled in her affairs.
When she got out bed, her legs continued to tremble and she was surprised to see that her white skin was now covered in tiny marks.
Once she was dressed, she then called for someone to help her at the dressing table.
……
It was already past breakfast time and she will have to take lunch with him later. She decided to take a few bites of some pastry to ease her stomach first.
Tired and sore, she laid down on the n.o.ble consort chair with a medical book.
Before she was transported here, she was from a century-old aristocratic family of doctors. From a young age, Xu Mo followed her grandfather learning medicine and acupuncture. When she had just begun her soph.o.m.ore year at high school, she was transported to the impractical era of Jing Kingdom while she was asleep. This person shared the same name as her and even their appearance was exactly the same.
The Empress was killed while pregnant and as a result, the poison was pa.s.sed to the child inside. In order to save the child’s life, the Emperor sent the child to Hanshan Temple to cultivate.
When the child turned fifteen, a marriageable age, she was then brought back. Xu Mo had been here for more than a year and was already accustomed to the life here. She had planned to entertain herself and wait it out until she can go back but to ones’ surprise, she actually had an unparalleled fiancé. It was impossible to turn down a marriage bestowed by the late Emperor so she could only obediently marry.
At least her big brother was thoughtful and kind so he did not entrust more men to her. If they were in any way like the man she experienced last night, she was certain with her frail body she would have died in bed.
“The master is back.”
The man made a sound then asked, “Is the princess awake?”
He entered the room only after the servant answered. As he stepped into the main room, he saw that the young lady was laying down and rubbing her slender waist while staring into s.p.a.ce thinking about something. Even he, himself could not decipher what she was thinking about.
He slowly walked ahead with light footsteps then picked up her delicate figure and begun to rub the aching waist on her behalf. He thought back to her first time and blamed himself, “Ru Feng was reckless last night and has troubled the princess.”
When the young lady heard the apologetic tone in his voice, her face turned red and shook her head without saying a word.
The man sneered, the women of Jing Kingdom had always been bold. There were plenty who had yet to reach a marriageable age but had already attended upon others. The princess had three thousand gigolos* but who knew she would be this shy and lovable.
*TL-note: Gigolo is a young man paid or financially supported by a woman, typically an older woman, to be her escort or lover.
“Yes! Rufeng, let’s eat!” As he stared at her, Xu Mo felt gooseb.u.mps rise so she quickly made an excuse. Just then her stomach also rumbled and caused her face to become even redder.
“Rufeng has been neglectful.” Li Rufeng nodded then carried her to the dining room.
