Shen Lixue sighed helplessly, "The child is still young, we... will hurt him... Just bear with it for a few more days... Once he's past the three-month critical period, you won't have to work so hard..."
Dongfang Heng's sexy thin lips gently caressed Chen Lixue's soft cherry lips, gritting his teeth: "He's only been two months old, and I have to endure another month, thirty days, three hundred and sixty hours..." How can I get through such a long time?
Shen Lixue pinched Dongfang Heng's handsome profile. It was smooth and silky, with an excellent feel, no less than her own skin. She couldn't help but pinch it again and again: "Just bear with it and it will be fine. Be patient."
Dongfang Heng gently kissed Shen Lixue's delicate collarbone, unbuttoning all the buttons on her white inner garment. His jade-like fingers slid down her smooth, alabaster skin to her back, gently loosening the straps of her bodice: "I'll be gentle, I won't hurt him."
Shen Lixue glared at Dongfang Heng: "A two-month-old baby is very small and weak. You can't make any sudden movements. No matter how careful you are, he will still get hurt..."
Dongfang Heng ignored her and continued on his own, cleverly removing Shen Lixue's outer and inner garments, revealing a scarlet bodice that was about to fall off her chest: "A month ago, we didn't know he existed. We went crazy every night, and he was unharmed. He won't be in any danger tonight either." He and her child, born a little devil, wouldn't be so fragile.
Dongfang Heng! Shen Lixue glared at him, her beautiful eyes blazing with fire. She tried to push him away, but found that her hands and feet were pinned down and she couldn't move an inch. Her bodice fluttered to the ground, revealing glimpses of her chest.
Dongfang Heng's deep gaze deepened further as he lowered his head and gently kissed her porcelain-like skin. The red petals of his kisses spread across her smooth, jade-like skin, sending waves of tingling pleasure through her body. Shen Lixue trembled slightly, shaking her head, trying to clear her mind, glaring angrily at the culprit on top of her: "Dongfang... um..."
Her mouth was sealed shut, and the angry rebuke that was about to come out was swallowed up. The faint scent of pine resin filled her mouth, constantly expanding and encroaching on her territory. Her light and shallow breathing gradually became rapid. Her slender body could not resist Dongfang Heng's gentle caress and gradually softened like spring water. Her clear and cold eyes were covered with a layer of mist, looking hazy and indistinct.
"I will be careful." Dongfang Heng's low promise reached my ears like a warning bell, echoing in my ears, deep and drawn out.
Shen Lixue's hazy thoughts instantly cleared, and she glared at Dongfang Heng on top of her: "Dongfang Heng, if you dare to continue, you'll be sleeping in the study for a month."
Dongfang Heng's swaying thoughts suddenly sank, and he looked helplessly at Shen Lixue: "Really, it's not possible within a month?"
Shen Lixue blinked: "If you want, I can arrange a few concubines for you."
"You dare?" Dongfang Heng's deep eyes flashed with intense anger. Arrange concubines? What kind of person did they take him for? Did the capital city like spoiled brats with three wives and four concubines? He had no interest in any other woman except the one he loved.
"I don't need concubines, but you mustn't bother me again for a month." Shen Lixue knew he wouldn't want concubines, and it was precisely because she knew that she dared to use this reason against him.
Dongfang Heng lowered his head and bit Shen Lixue's shoulder hard.
A sharp pain shot through her. Shen Lixue glared at him, gritting her teeth: "Dongfang Heng, what's your zodiac sign? Why do you bite people like that?"
A faint fragrance mingled with the stench of blood filled the air. Dongfang Heng released his grip, looking at the two rows of clear teeth marks on his fair skin, and a slight smile appeared on his lips: "Consider this your compensation for tonight."
Shen Lixue: "..."
He bit her to leave teeth marks, as compensation for not being able to be intimate with his wife? What illogical logic.
Dongfang Heng lay on his side on the bed, holding Shen Lixue tightly, and whispered in her ear: "Then it's a deal, you can't make up any more excuses to refuse me after a month."
"Don't worry, the child is safe and sound, I won't ignore you." Shen Lixue said irritably, glancing at the teeth marks on her shoulder that were almost bleeding, pushing his arm away, and was about to get out of bed.
"What are you doing?" Dongfang Heng held her tightly, refusing to let go.
"Find some medicine to apply to the wound." Dongfang Heng's teeth are sharp; his shoulder was bleeding from being bitten. If he doesn't apply medicine, it will definitely leave a scar.
"It's just a few teeth marks, it'll heal on its own, no need for medicine," Dongfang Heng comforted her, hugging Shen Lixue tightly and closing his eyes to rest.
“Two rows of bleeding teeth marks, how can it be a small wound?” Shen Lixue gripped Dongfang Heng’s handsome profile tightly: “Let go, I’ll get the medicine myself.”
Unable to sleep due to being disturbed, Dongfang Heng had no choice but to open his eyes and compromise, saying, "I'll get you the medicine."
He rolled out of bed, took a small porcelain bottle from the cabinet next to him, walked slowly back to the bedside, opened the bottle, and a strange fragrance filled most of the room. Shen Lixue was invigorated, and at the same time, she felt the pain in her shoulder more clearly.
Dongfang Heng poured a little white, milky liquid from the porcelain bottle and gently applied it to the wound on her shoulder. His movements were surprisingly gentle, and as the liquid slowly disappeared, a beautiful smile curved his lips.
As the pain gradually subsided, Shen Lixue relaxed. Dongfang Heng's movements were very gentle, lightly massaging her shoulders. It felt very comfortable, as if someone was giving her a massage. She slowly closed her eyes, enjoying this warm moment.
The soft, shallow breathing made Dongfang Heng pause in his application of the medicine. He glanced at Shen Lixue, whose face was flushed, eyelids slightly closed, and eyelashes curled up. Her peaceful and serene sleeping face was so beautiful that one couldn't bear to defile it.
Dongfang Heng's lips twitched a few times. He was still applying medicine when she actually fell asleep. A lot had happened during the day, and she had just been settling Shen Yingxue. She was also pregnant, so she was indeed tired and should get some rest.
After placing the porcelain bottle down, Dongfang Heng lay down next to Shen Lixue and pulled her into his arms. He had been in the throes of passion, and Shen Lixue was completely naked under the silk quilt. Holding this beautiful body, he was filled with desire, but dared not have any improper thoughts. If she found out, she would definitely send him to sleep in the study again.
Ru Yu's fingers gently caressed her flat belly. The little guy had already stolen most of Shen Lixue before he was even born. Once she was born, wouldn't he steal the whole person away? He had to quickly think of a way to control this little devil.
Speaking of the little demon lord who wanted to take Shen Lixue away, Dongfang Heng thought of Dongfang Zhan. Dongfang Zhan had never given up on Shen Lixue and would try to break them up whenever he had the chance. He had been busy for a while and hadn't had time to deal with Dongfang Zhan, but he had some free time recently.
It is only proper to give in return. Dongfang Zhan had tried every means to deal with him. Three days later, Dongfang Zhan was getting married, and the couple would definitely prepare a grand gift to give him in return for the trouble he had caused them these past few days.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and he needed to think carefully about how to give this gift!
The auspicious day for the Crown Prince and the Prince of Zhan's wedding was calculated by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to be the most auspicious day of the most auspicious month. The fact that the most outstanding young members of the Qingyan royal family were getting married on the same day became a beautiful story in the capital.
On the day of the wedding, the streets were packed with people. The people of the capital stood on both sides of the street with curiosity, craning their necks to watch the lively wedding procession. The bridal sedan chair from the Prince Zhan's mansion picked up Li Youlan from the Prime Minister Li's mansion and drove back to the Prince Zhan's mansion with music and festivities.
Standing by the window of the private room at Zuixianlou, Dongfang Heng watched the bridal sedan chair gradually disappear into the distance on the street and said softly, "Lixue, how are your preparations going?"
Shen Lixue stepped forward, a sly smile on her face: "Don't worry, everything is ready. We'll head to the Zhan Prince's residence now to offer our congratulations and watch the excitement."
---Aside---
(⊙o⊙)... It seems like it's almost the end of the month, and the monthly tickets will soon expire. If you have any tickets, remember to use them! It would be such a waste to let them go to waste.
Chapter 201: King Zhan Falls into the Trap
The Prince Zhan's mansion was brightly decorated and filled with joy. Officials and their families came in an endless stream to offer their congratulations, and all sorts of valuable gifts were piled up like mountains. The Prince Zhan's steward, who was over forty years old, was shrewd and capable. He stood at the door and greeted the guests with a smile.
Dongfang Heng and Shen Lixue presented their gifts and entered the Zhan Prince's Mansion. The solemn and noble mansion was decorated in bright red, and cheerful maids could be seen carrying cups and plates everywhere, while servants hurriedly moved gifts back and forth.
Dongfang Zhan, dressed in a bright red wedding robe, was exceptionally handsome. His gentle smile was polite but did not reach his eyes. Holding a bright red silk hand, he mechanically bowed to heaven and earth with Li Youlan as the master of ceremonies chanted.
"The wedding of Prince Zhan and Li Youlan was very grand." The procession stretched for miles, with red bridal makeup, music, and a wedding procession dozens of meters long. It was no less grand than the wedding of Shen Lixue and Dongfang Heng.
Looking at the newlyweds, Dongfang Zhan said, "When a royal prince gets married, the wedding is naturally grand." The royal family values grandeur when marrying their principal wife; if it were shabby, it would be a disgrace to the royal family.
Shen Lixue glanced at the carved corridor: "Dongfang Zhan doesn't seem to care much about this marriage." Li Youlan likes orchids, but the corridor is decorated with camellias, plum blossoms, and silk-made magnolias and peonies, but there are no orchids.
