LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN TIGRESS

The next morning Xing woke up cuddled in Chenglei"s arms and he hugged her close sniffing her hair.

Ah! She always smells nice!

"Sleep a bit more", he spoke and his hoa.r.s.e voice had an odd attractiveness to it.

"Hmm", Xing closed her eyes and the feeling of his firm chest against her in the morning made her feel content.

From today on, this is going to be the norm... What else would I ask for in this life other than this..?

Xing didn"t know how long she slept but she heard his reverberating voice, even though he was speaking softly, through his chest.

"Leave it and scram"

Xing woke up to see the curtains of the bed closed and she could smell food and only then she realised she had slept till breakfast time.

She knew of the custom in their kingdom to serve tea to the elder women of their marital home the next morning of their wedding. Even if his mother is dead, she should at least do the custom. And since their wedding was a royal wedding, shouldn"t she follow the customs if the inner palace and meet those Consorts? Or what are the rules again?

"Ah! Why didn"t you wake me up? Shouldn"t I serve tea?", Xing tried to sit up but he held her down.

"Are you dreaming?", his voice had a slight mocking undertone as he looked at her with his eyes glimmering with joy.

"I"m supposed to serve tea to the..."

"Silly wife! You have no in-laws. They are all dead and they can wait. Just have some breakfast and get to bed and serve your husband if you feel the need to serve", his hand wriggled inside his robe that covered her for now and went for her soft peaches.

"Wait... ", Xing giggled as it was ticklish but soon they were turned to moans as his tongue skillfully played on her pink buds and her legs wrapped around his waist.

"Listen to me", his kisses trailed upwards to her neck, " Even if we are considered royals, there is no one in the palace who has higher status than you", he kissed her cheek and placed his hand on the top of her head as he looked in her eyes.

"My beloved wife, You are Princess Consort Jin and you serve no one. Even if that brother of mine finds a woman to take the phoenix throne, you are still the holder of the White Tiger Token and your status will be higher than the one with the phoenix seal. JiaXing, There is and will be no woman of higher status than you in this kingdom as long as you are alive"

Xing felt her throat close out of happiness. She was the Empress once and all she felt was repulsion towards that power as long as she was in the inner palace and that"s why she never used that phoenix seal for her betterment.

But now... It"s not like she"d bow before anyone easily even when forced... That haven"t changed. She always had authority over everything as it was her birthright. Even so, she loved that power given by him, being his wife.

And he accepted the honorary Prince t.i.tle just for this, right? For me...

I love you more than anything... My love!

"You spoil me too much hubby", she wrapped her arms around his neck with her eyes misted with tears. "I"ll become the most non-virtuous woman ever if you enable me like this", she glided her hand through his neck and placed it over his heart.

His heartbeat is her melody and her life beat.

"Eh..", he shrugged. She is his woman. What if she gets spoiled? He"d love her no matter what. She has no need to bow her head to anyone.

Chenglei saw Xing under him with her golden eyes misted and face pleased and he couldn"t hold back. Her eyes were filled with love. At least that"s what he wanted to think.

Just stay with me like this, JiaXing! Just don"t think about that other man!

"Well, since you are being so touched by me, how are you going to repay me, wifey?" he spoke through his clenched teeth as he held the back of her head with his hand and kissing her chin and neck.

And so the couple, now married, ended up in another tussle on the bed not caring about the time.

Xiao Mei who came in to see if they had breakfast shook her head seeing the food untouched and there were still ambiguous noises coming from the bedchamber.

Are they rabbits?

Xiao Mei wondered and she looked around the room. Her lady"s dress was placed carefully on the couch and the headdress was placed on the side table with utmost care.

She sighed in relief. My lady did find herself a man who treats her well!

Xing woke up again in the late noon and took a bath and changed her clothes. She got to the bed chambers and saw Chenglei waking up and pushed the man who still had the eyes of a unsatiated wolf, away from her to take a bath.

This man really wants to stay in bed doing "it" the entire day!

After having a late lunch or early dinner, whatever it might be considered as, the sky looked gloomy even though the evening was only approaching and Xing stood by the window and Chenglei walked towards her and hugged her waist and placed his chin in her shoulder.

Xing placed her hand over his hands, "It"s started snowing", she said with a smile. Never in her life did she feel like the first snow was this charming.

In the past she never found delight in these mundane things. Definitely not snow. Snow always reminded her of Chenglei and when she was in her village with her mother, she always felt sad thinking about him and wondering if he"s fine.

And later it was snowing when she entered the palace and she hated the snow. She did t know what happened to Chenglei back then too.

In the past three years, she always remembered of that cold stare he gave her that day he forgot her and she"d spend her nights crying.

Is this the first snow I"m enjoying? Xing smiled.

It"s because he is with me, as my husband.

"Hmm", Chenglei hummed as he pressed his cheek on hers.

He never cared about these things. He hated snow as it mostly reminded him of his mother and her cold words before she died.

But now... This snow seemes pleasant.

Yes, pleasant. It"s because she is in my arms.

The snow is pleasant to my eyes, she is even more so.

"My birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks, on New year"s day", she leaned on him.

She felt like even if she didn"t stand on her feet, he"d hold her forever as she leaned on his firm chest.

She felt light with no worries at the moment. His heart was beating right at her heart and in the same rhythm as hers.

What else do I need?

"Is that so?", his voice seemed surprised as he wrapped one arm around her shoulder while the other was still around her waist.

"You should have told me soon. I haven"t even prepared a gift for you", his voice had a little distress as his arms tightened around her.

Chenglei who was trying to hide his intentions although he knew she"d throw a tantrum for not even knowing her birthday.

But to his disbelief, she had no change in expressions.

"It"s fine...", she had a gentle smile and her eyes were filled with various emotions.

But her calmness brought him fear and he couldn"t see her eyes clearly and that made him insecure.

What is she thinking? He has heard from Mubai that women would get angry if the man they love forgets their important days. So why does she not care?

Xing who was leaning on him didn"t actually care much about her birthday. She just had the perfect wedding with the guy she dreamed of forever and she felt like she had it all.

Who cares about birthdays when she just had her dream come true?

But she felt like his heartbeat getting erratic suddenly and she turned to look at him and his face looked confused.

"What?", she asked placing her hand in his cheek.

"You are not mad?", he looked at her. Only when he saw her pleased expression did he feel relieved.

"Why would I be?", her big beautiful eyes focused on him as the center of her eyebrows were raised in confusion.

"You... Are a weird one, aren"t you?", he hugged her, "Ask me anything. I"ll get it for your birthday", he added.

" Don"t want anything", she hugged him. " Didn"t you spend a lot for me for the wedding?",she stood on her tiptoes and pecked his lips.

Hmm... Lovely!

"Wh?", Chenglei"s words were swallowed by her kiss. His anger towards her for thinking that it would have hurt his accounts spending that puny amount of money for the wedding was thawed immediately.

"If you want to give me something... Cook for me. It"s been a while", she wrapped her arms around his neck and licked the lower part of his earlobes and suckled it as his arms wrapped around her waist.

Bam!

He lifted her up and pressed her back on the wall, lifted her skirt and wrapped one of her leg around his waist all in one sweep and kissed her with force, their teeth almost clashed.

His kiss was filled with pa.s.sion and l.u.s.t and Xing could not hold herself back.

After making her climax once pressed at the wall, he continued at the bed again and again and again.

After finis.h.i.+ng, both of them laid on the bed side by side panting.

"Ah! I don"t want to get up. But I am hungry", Xing punched him on his chest. "Your fault, you wolf!", she was peeved a bit.

She was mostly angry at herself for not able to stop herself from getting too indulged and agreeing to all of his requests .

"Mmm ", he chuckled and held her hand and pulled it to his lips to kiss it but she forcefully pulled away.

"Feed me!"

"Yes, My queen", he got up and Xing could not take her eyes off of the chiseled beauty of a man in front of her. No matter how many times she looks at him, it never is enough.

"You are r*ping me with your eyes", he wriggled and covered his chest while the monster between his legs were freely dangling in front of her eyes.

"Get lost and bring me food, rascal!", she kicked his b.u.t.t chuckling and with a fake frown, Chenglei wrapped his robe on the floor rubbing his back and left the bed chambers and went outside shouting for Mubai.

After she was fed dinner in the bed, she cuddled herself inside the blanket showing her back to him and Chenglei not caring about her indifference laid behind her and spooned her. He knew she is not really angry.

Xing didn"t push him away and turned to face him. With her nose pressed in his chest she placed her right leg in between his legs and closed her eyes.

Even though she was happy beyond measures, she still had a indescribable fear rooted deep in her heart.

The trials aren"t over yet!

" Slept yet?", he asked lazily drawing circles on her back.

" No", she took a deep breath.

Xing! Just enjoy the present. Don"t worry about the rest. You always find a way if it comes to it! So, Be happy!

"What should I tell Lin Mubai? ", he asked.

They weren"t disturbed by anyone till now. He should keep his word.

"Tell him to talk to me, directly. Is he that much of a coward to talk to me? Then how can I trust him with Xiao Mei?", she pursed her lips.

"Hmm"

That"s all he replied. Truly, his subordinate is brave enough to oppose the Emperor but he has no courage to talk to this tigress. Surely she won"t refuse, Chenglei knew and had a smile in his face.

Xing was surprised that Chenglei isn"t speaking further about Lin Mubai.

"Let"s give them a piece of land inside out Manor to build their home", Xing spoke after some time.

The Emperor gifted the Rui Manor to them and now their Manor is bigger than the Prime Minister"s Manor and their Manor spanned almost five percentage of the entire city. They don"t need that much s.p.a.ce and Xiao Mei wanted to Serve her till she died and Xing didn"t want to send her away too. This way both of them could serve them and stay with them too.

"You decide", Chenglei didn"t have much to say as he didn"t want to let go of Lin Mubai too and that maid takes good care of his wife and she could stay with them.

Days pa.s.sed as the preparations of the Millennium Celebrations were going on. But both of the newlyweds cooped up in their love nest didn"t knew about the rumours spreading in the city.
