"I know", she sighed realising what Chenglei said is true, "But being intimate is a way to express love. How could they deny themselves that? Stupid couple", Xing snuggled to Chenglei comfortably."I know, right? At least, we are not stupid", Chenglei picked her up and made his way to their bed realising she had calmed down and probably reached to a decision already.
After rigorously expressing their love on their bed, Xing took a short nap as she placed her head on Chenglei"s arm.
"What have you planned?", he asked after she woke up.
"Something...", she said twirling his hair in her hands. She always wondered how his hair is this soft and silky,
"There are certain things that can be done to prevent pregnancy that I"ve heard from the ladies of the Heavenly Flowers Palace... Some of them are dangerous but I"ll properly advice the Consort, excluding those dangerous things. I"m definitely not going to poison her and I know, if I don"t help her, she"ll get help somewhere else and who knows what kind of people she"ll meet? Desperate people are easy to manipulate", Xing spoke with her eyes closed and hugging Chenglei"s waist.
"There are certain things a man can do too... Will you..."
"No! I"m not talking to my brother about... "Those" matters!", Xing could feel her husband stressing up and she opened her eyes to see gooseb.u.mps on his skin.
Seriously? Must he react with such aversion?
"Fine! I"ll talk to him myself", Xing who thought this big jealous ball wouldn"t let her talk about such intimate matters with another man but oddly he agreed without any resistance.
"Write it all and I"ll give it to him", he said after a while making Xing roll her eyes.
I knew!
But...
Whatever!
All she cares for was to get her point across.
"Fine, but tell him I"ll be watching over. If he hurts Consort Jiang even a bit, he"ll pay", Xing was not holding back her thoughts.
"None of these methods are one hundred percent trustable. Even if they follow it all, there is still chance of pregnancy. But don"t tell him that. Leave it to fate", she added and Chenglei agreed.
Chenglei was in deep thought for a while as he was gently rubbing her back and it was awfully pleasant.
He must have magic in his hands!
Xing could feel him in deep thoughts but she didn"t bother much about it and tried to get up.
"There might be another war", Chenglei said as his grip on her waist tightening.
"The kingdoms south of the sky province are uniting, aren"t they?", Xing asked. The sky Kingdom was annexed to their kingdom in the past months as their province.
"How did. . .", "You know?", he swallowed his question knowing he was the one who probably told her that. These days he found himself telling everything he knew, to her. And he didn"t regret it either.
"Our Imperial army is strong. We have the Ouyang Navy and the Zhong army too. Our food produce are good and we can handle even a decade of war without fear of starvation... Everything is fine... Unless we get arrogant and think less of the enemy. And for them, it will take at least two or three years for them to align their forces if they want to have even a little bit of chance against us", Xing added.
Their kingdom is prospering these past years and it would take a lot to bring them down. They have good relations.h.i.+p with their neighbours too and that itself is a big a.s.set.
"Hmm", Chenglei kissed her forehead. "Also I was told that if you take a sword to fight, no one can stand before us"
He was so proud of her when his brother explained in detail what she did in the previous wars to help them.
"But I lost my powers, don"t you remember? The soldiers must do their job", she wasn"t that interested in directly involving in politics anymore. She just wanted to stay by the side, advising, if necessary. But she was happy that chenglei is telling her a lot these days.

Blissful!
"Ah, that"s bad...", Chenglei was disappointed by her answer. "But you are good with a sword. Even I can"t beat you", he thought it would be a waste to hide her capabilities.
"Yeah, right", Xing chuckled. Her heart was filled glee as she could feel his love for her. He used to be like this in the past too and would say the exact same things.
Everything blended in her mind, the old Chenglei who protected her, the insecure Chenglei who forgot her and her husband now who really loves her and adores her.
"Hey Chenglei", she sat up and looked at the man still lying on the bed, bare.
"I"m a bit... A lot scared", she placed her hand on his chest that was rising and falling with his each breath.
"Scared that I"ll lose all my happiness somehow"
"Oh, dear", Chenglei sat up and hugged her close.
"Everytime I feel this blissful, I always lose something", she hugged him. She was scared to be happy.
When she thought Chenglei was back and she could live happily, her mother died.
Then when her father finally agreed to her marriage, Chenglei disappeared and she had to enter the Palace.
Then when she thought he was back, she lost her womb that day after her sufferings in the netherworld.
Then she had to stay in the Palace, separated from him. After she finished everything the G.o.ds planned for her, Chenglei forgot her.
And after three years of not able to meet him, she was able to and somehow after various ups and downs, she was able to get married with him. She thought she could finally be happy but then her marriage gave her sorrows too.
She was scared! Fear of losing her happiness made her numb at times.
"Get used to it, JiaXing. Get used to being happy. Soon you"ll get tired of happiness. I swear. I know, I am your happiness. You are my happiness too. I will not let you go unhappy. So don"t be scared... Trust me. I will not let my past mistakes affect you anymore", Chenglei kissed her neck while whispering in her ears.
He knew he had repeated it several times and still she couldn"t accept it entirely.
"It"s fine, JiaXing! I will repeat it to you until you are comfortable. Especially since I was the one who hurt you the most,i will a.s.sure you as much as I can",he had decided already.
He knew how stressed she gets at times, especially it gets serious around "that time of the month". Judging by her emotions going haywire this time, it should arrive in a day or two.
Huh! There goes another week of the month without holding her!
He sighed silently while patting her back.
Being a husband is as hard as being a woman!
