"Huh?"
Before Yu Zhi could finish speaking, she was pulled around the waist.
Ji Pingxi rose against the wind, stepping on the heavy ears of wheat, dressed in white with black hair, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The farmers in the countryside thought they had seen a fairy descended from heaven, and they quickly bowed and kowtowed.
The autumn wind carried the farmers' simple songs of praise, and Yu Zhi smiled brightly: "You should thank the Emperor and Empress for giving you such a beautiful face."
Ji Pingxi held her slender waist and walked briskly: "Yes, you're right. On our wedding day, I'll kowtow three times to my parents to thank them for giving their daughter such a beautiful face, otherwise finding a wife would be a problem."
Yu Zhi leaned against her and laughed, "Why would I care so much about looks?"
Princess Changyang smiled but remained silent.
It's impossible not to look at someone's face.
Her daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law, don't they both care about looks? If they didn't care about looks, would Zhizhi have fallen for her? If they didn't care about looks, would her future mother-in-law have fallen for her imperial aunt?
Thinking of this, she glared at the future princess and said, "From now on, you are only allowed to look at me and only allowed to praise my good looks!"
"childish."
Yu Zhi pressed her face against her heart, listening to the heart pounding in the autumn wind and the scent of wheat.
Ji Pingxi landed back on the ground with light footwork, and a sea of flowers came into view. She smiled mischievously, but her eyes and brows still had the clear innocence of her age: "You made fun of me yesterday for being ignorant of the ways of the world, why don't you teach me?"
Yu Zhi instinctively wanted to cover her mouth, not wanting to hear her lewd words, but her slender white wrist was held in someone's palm. Princess Changyang was a person who did not admit defeat, and she was even more proactive in some things, making up for her shortcomings.
"Aren't you making fun of me? No way, no way, Sister Zhizhi wouldn't either, right?"
She spoke in a sarcastic tone, looking like she was looking for trouble and asking for a beating. Yu Zhi thought to herself: How could I not know? Even if I haven't eaten pork, I should have seen pigs run. No matter how little she knows, she's still better than this person who hasn't even seen a pig run.
Ji Pingxi was raised by the Empress Dowager from a young age, learning the teachings of the sages and the skills of both civil and military affairs. In a sense, he was a pure person.
Yu Zhi realized she was serious, and a blush crept onto her face. She grabbed Yu Zhi's shirt with one hand and said in an annoyed tone, "How come you can't do anything right?"
She even has to teach him this.
"Otherwise what? I'm still young, wouldn't it be perfect for you to teach me?"
There were maids in the palace who taught her about human affairs, but she found it troublesome and didn't learn. Yan Xiu indulged her daughter, thinking that it wasn't a big deal and there would always be someone who could teach her.
And so, the task of teaching the princess about human affairs fell to Yu Zhi. She bit her lower lip lightly, and Ji Pingxi looked at her without missing a beat. No matter how he looked at her, he felt that Zhizhi was more like a fairy than her.
But she was a fairy tainted by worldly desires.
She had heard palace servants mention Jing Heliu's name before, but she hadn't taken it seriously. Now, however, she was truly experiencing the gentle charm that emanated from her very bones, and her throat felt an undeniable dryness and itchiness.
She coughed lightly, turned her face away, revealing her pitifully red ears.
Yu Zhi stared at her bright red ears. Just then, the setting sun illuminated the princess's beautiful face, making her look stunning and radiant. She hesitated, her toes lightly brushing the yellow earth on the ground, and said, "Alright, I'll teach you once. You must learn well."
Ji Pingxi's eyes flashed with a strange light: "Good."
Their most intimate gesture now is a kiss on the lips, but how can lovers stop at just a kiss on the lips? Yu Zhi loosened her fingers, her fingers damp with sweat. She was so nervous that she didn't know what to do. When she met Xi Xi's encouraging and expectant eyes, which were also filled with nervousness, she burst out laughing, making the princess's face turn red.
"Are you going to teach me or not?!"
"I'll teach you, I'll teach you right away." Yu Zhi suppressed a laugh and soothed her, then stepped forward and hugged her slender waist.
Xi Xi's waist is flexible, slender, and full of strength; just holding her makes one's heart flutter.
She looked over curiously, and under her gaze, Yu Zhi's legs went weak: "Don't move."
"You're so long-winded."
As her words fell on the lingering autumn breeze, Yu Zhi, suppressing her embarrassment, punched her.
The princess, who had been beaten, immediately became obedient and waited patiently for her beloved to impart his experience.
What experience does Yuzhi have?
As she drew nearer and smelled the agarwood fragrance emanating from her, Yu Zhi's legs trembled. But she had already spoken boldly; how could she take it back? She raised her face and stared intently at her young prince.
When you love someone, your eyes will naturally speak volumes.
The most effective way to bewitch someone is not by striking poses or taking off your clothes, but by looking at her with beautiful, affectionate eyes that seem to see into her heart, making her feel like her old house is on fire.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhi felt inexplicably embarrassed. For example, Xi Xi was more like that 'old house'.
She's already twenty, and she's never experienced the joy of kissing the person she loves.
She mustered her courage and said in a soft, alluring voice, "It's not just something you can taste with your mouth."
Ji Pingxi waited quietly for her to continue.
Unexpectedly, Yu Zhi stopped all her carefully prepared words and put them into practice.
Her petal-colored lips parted slightly, releasing a soft, gentle fragrance reminiscent of a spring breeze.
Ji Pingxi stood there, stunned, letting her explore to the end. His young heart was suddenly drawn into a magical realm, and his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Oh, I didn't know... you could do it like that.
After the kiss, Yu Zhi blushed and took two steps back, breathless: "It's...it's like this..."
A poignant entanglement, where you are in me and I am in you.
"Delicious!" Princess Changyang exclaimed, still wanting more. "Shall we try some more?"
Huh? Yu Zhi turned to run, but her legs were weak. Just before she fell, Ji Pingxi caught her and pulled her down into the sea of blooming flowers, his voice gentle: "Try again."
These words possessed a seductive charm, and Yu Zhi was instantly captivated, clinging to her neck and willingly losing herself in the fragrant autumn breeze.
Autumn is strong, spring is full of passion,
Before nightfall, the two young masters, who had been playing outside, were found by the Emperor and Empress's men. As they boarded the carriage and left, Princess Changyang had a stern face and was very unhappy.
The Grand Eunuch Yang Ruo personally came to arrest the person and bring him back to the palace. Ji Pingxi respected his teacher and gave him face. His red lips opened and closed, and how could anyone with eyes not know what the young prince had done?
"Let's go, lest we cause our mother and father worry."
She reluctantly lowered the carriage curtain.
Yu Zhi sat in the spacious carriage, returning home one after the other with Princess Changyang. When they arrived home, Liu Boyan held a cup of fragrant tea. Upon seeing Yu Zhi's slightly red and swollen lips, her expression changed slightly, and she said sourly, "Is Your Highness born in the Year of the Dog?"
"..."
Yu Zhi silently covered her face.
Actually, she gnawed quite a bit on each branch.
"Can you call it kissing when you're all lovey-dovey?" In Gan Ning Palace, Ji Pingxi took the lip balm handed to her by her mother. Every move she made was full of youthful vigor and excitement. After applying the lip balm, she leaned close to the Empress and said coquettishly, "Mother, do I look good like this?"
"..."
If this weren't her own daughter, Yan Xiu would be too ashamed to look: how could Xi Xi have the nerve to ask her if it looked good when they were just two chickens eating each other?
"You're getting married next September, you should learn some things. Otherwise, who knows how your princess will dislike you after you get married."
Ji Pingxi was shocked: "How could this be! Zhizhi praised me for studying well today!"
She accidentally let it slip, eliciting a knowing chuckle from Yan Xiu: "Oh, I was praising you. How does it feel to be praised?"
"Of course!"
The Empress lowered her head and slowly took a sip of Longjing tea, then looked up and teased her good daughter: "Silly girl."
"Mother! How could you say that to me?"
"What else could you be but a little fool? Come here, your mother wants to whisper something to you."
Princess Changyang quickly put her ear closer.
Yan Xiu held nothing back from her own daughter. When she slowly revealed her innermost thoughts, Ji Pingxi was dumbfounded, then suddenly realized: "So there's such a trick to lovey-dovey things!"
"Yes, there are many tricks to it. If you don't work hard, you'll just have to wait to be bullied in the future."
Ji Pingxi blinked, thinking that being bullied was fine, but when she thought of Zhizhi's radiant and alluring appearance today, she exclaimed thoughtfully: it's better to bully each other.
"Teach me, Mother!"
Yan Xiu smiled faintly: "Go find your father, why is this bothering your mother too?"
Princess Changyang blushed with embarrassment at her mother's words, then turned and left Ganning Palace to go and tease her father, the Emperor.
In the Imperial Study, Ji Ying, having finished handling state affairs, sneezed because her nose was itchy. The Grand Eunuch Yang Ruo smiled and reported, "Your Majesty, the Princess has arrived."
.
The following September, Princess Changyang married the eldest daughter of the Yu family. On the same day, the Emperor and Empress officiated at the wedding of the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Liu and Princess Yunzhang. The lights were bright and the stars were twinkling. The aunt and niece entered their respective bridal chambers and teased their wives.
At the height of their passion, Yu Zhixiang, drenched in sweat, glanced at the princess who was engrossed in her work and vaguely realized: everyone can live without each other, but if she were to leave Xi Xi, she would truly die.
She was distracted at this auspicious moment, and Ji Pingxi grumbled in dissatisfaction, after which the bridal chamber was filled with boundless spring colors.
Fish cannot live without water, and water becomes vibrant with fish. In the depths of her soul, she always felt as if she had loved her Zhizhi for several lifetimes.
I will continue to love you for the rest of my life.
Passionate, exhilarating, and enduring.
Yu Zhi endured it all, but finally broke down, crying her heart out. She looked so pitiful that Ji Pingxi lovingly stroked her back, soothing the thrilling tremor that had sent shivers down her spine.
The beauty's face was radiant, her eyes reflecting the candlelight and moonlight. Her chest rose and fell as she watched the prince, who was completely unconcerned about the water stains on his face. Her eyes were clear and bright, her eyelashes long and thick, filled with purity and moonlight.
The moon is the moon of romance, and purity is the purity of pure love.
Of all things in the world, who can resist Xi Xi at this moment?
Yu Zhi's breath trembled slightly. Having tasted the sweetness, she pleaded with her prince in a soft, low voice, "One more time?"
Ji Pingxi had been too nervous to speak before, fearing that he might not do well and offend the beauty. But upon hearing these words, he suddenly became full of energy. Every smile and frown made him willingly agree to a lifelong commitment to Yu Zhi.
—Red candles burn all night, stars and moon illuminate the world.
