Unable to sleep without someone to hold her, she lit a candle and opened the window in the middle of the night, only to find Ji squatting pitifully under the window, wrapped in her clothes: "You're whiter than snowflakes in December!"
Can we let her in?
Having spent several years with her, experiencing both the good and the bad, Yu Zhi wasn't afraid of her now, puffing out her chest: "Then tell me, where on my body is the whitest?"
"..."
Meeting her earnest gaze, Ji Pingxi felt a chill run down her spine: indeed, every family has its own troubles. During the day, she was mocking the Imperial Aunt for being incompetent, but at night, her Zhizhi started to manipulate her.
She said her buttocks were white, but what if someone nitpicked and asked her if her breasts weren't white enough?
She said her chest was white, and maybe this person would retort, "So your legs aren't white enough?"
This is a difficult question. She blinked, then blinked again, and finally lay down under the window and pretended to be dead.
Oh no!
After three years of intense and stressful life, she still enjoys Zhizhi's unreasonable antics.
The window opened and closed, then opened again. Yu Zhi stood by the window, wearing an overcoat, and glared at her reproachfully: "Why are you suddenly so tongue-tied? You really can't think of any way to coax me. Would it be difficult for you to just say 'I love you'?"
Ji Pingxi opened her eyes, and in the next instant, she flew into the inner room and successfully embraced the fragrant and soft beauty. Her heart settled down, and she said in a soft voice, "Isn't this just to see you show off your power as the main wife? You look so beautiful when you show off your power and act coquettish."
Yu Zhi looked up at her, her beautiful eyes gazing at her for a long time before she finally couldn't help but laugh and fell into her arms, stroking the prince's heaving chest with one hand: "So you knew."
I know I'm deliberately bullying you.
The scenery above Chapter 100
Having been bullied and forced to huddle under the window for the first half of the night, and then bullied again for the second half of the night so that she couldn't reach the depths of the clouds, Yu Zhi's courage has grown by more than a fraction compared to three years ago.
The only thing that remained unchanged was that she also enjoyed being bullied by Ji Pingxi.
I was completely out of my mind all night. Things I hadn't had time to do in the desert, at the inn, or on the way back, I finally started doing tonight, and I couldn't sleep a wink.
In a sense, the Spirit Rhinoceros Pill can indeed be called the most romantic item in the world.
As dawn broke, the birds in the trees outside the window woke up, but the two people lying on the bed were still asleep.
Outside the door, Jinshi and Yinding stood drowsily in the courtyard, carrying a bowl of water they had just drawn from the well. Before saying a word, they yawned. Jinshi covered his mouth, tears welling in his eyes, and asked, "The masters didn't sleep all night, did they?"
Yin Ding nodded: "It looks like it's been making noise all night."
Jade held up a wooden tray with neatly folded soft towels on it: "We've been in a drought for three years and three months, what's wrong with quenching our thirst?"
She spoke in a tone that said, "You guys are so ignorant."
Agate seemed to be deep in thought: "No wonder I always hear cats meowing at night, it's spring now."
In spring, the season of rejuvenation, even cats can't help but fight. Isn't it only natural for people to fight each other?
What she said made perfect sense, and the gold, silver, and jade ingots were at a loss for words to refute it.
However… given how fiercely His Highness and Princess Consort act, they'll probably miss breakfast again, won't they? Strange, why did they say "again"?
The sun was high in the sky, and sunlight streamed in through the cracks in the window, gradually filling the room with light.
Yu Zhiyu's legs were wrapped around the princess's waist, her face flushed and as beautiful as a peach blossom.
The two woke up in a tightly intertwined position. Ji Pingxi stared blankly at the bed curtains for a long time, not having time to greet the beauty beside him. Yin Ding announced from outside the door, "Your Highness, the Princess has arrived."
Princess Yunzhang arrived at the Zhenguo Princess's residence with a beaming smile. Her gait was elegant and her manners were impeccable. After drinking two cups of tea in the main hall, she couldn't sit still any longer: "Where is Your Highness?"
The maid, Manao, who was serving nearby, was too embarrassed to say that their Highness and Princess Consort hadn't gotten up yet. Ji Rong suddenly understood and exclaimed, "Oh..."
"..."
Agate promptly closed her mouth, which showed how deeply ingrained His Highness's love for intimacy was.
After waiting for half an hour, Ji Rong couldn't wait any longer and stood up: "This princess will go and call her."
Who are you calling?
Agate was speechless: Should they be addressed as Your Highness?
Stepping into the main courtyard, Princess Yunzhang took a deep breath and shouted, "Xi Xi, Zhi Zhi, get up! The sun's already high in the sky!"
The sound came through the door, and Ji Pingxi, confirming that she wasn't dreaming, hissed and looked at the equally bewildered person beside her: "What's wrong, Aunt?"
Yu Zhi shook her head: She's not my mother, how would she know what's wrong with the Princess?
Ji Rong's face was filled with a strange excitement. No longer satisfied with just calling for people, he directly banged on the door: "Get up! Even lazy pigs are more diligent than you!"
"..."
Ji Pingxi pulled Yu Zhi into bed, and the two whispered about Ji Rong: "I gave Auntie a brilliant idea yesterday. Do you think she got it done or made things worse by coming over so early this morning?"
What did she do wrong? She finally got home and wanted to sleep in. She didn't care if the sun was shining on her butt. Even if it baked her to a crisp, she didn't want to get up!
Is it easy to spend a whole night working on something?
She touched her heart and thought with a hint of malice: Her aunt probably has never experienced the benefits of "a whole night of tossing and turning".
Yu Zhi and her head popped out, and who knows why the two of them were speaking in hushed tones under the covers: "What brilliant idea?"
"When no one was around at night, we made a pact to meet in the peach blossom grove. We used the sky as our blanket and the earth as our bed."
"???"
Ji Pingxi cleared his throat: "With our mother."
"!"
Yu Zhi tried to get up, but was pressed down by a hand.
"calm!"
The banging on the door grew more and more intense, as if the princess was about to tear the door down.
Yu Zhi swallowed slightly: "This seems to be getting worse?"
Her mother had complained to her about a certain matter that hadn't gone well with the princess in the past two years, and she couldn't help it. Besides, as a daughter, she couldn't speak to her mother as freely as Xi Xi did with the princess. They could only talk about which was better, whether it was superior or inferior, and of course, she couldn't come up with ideas like "using the sky as a blanket and the earth as a bed".
"Or should we get up?" The princess blocked her at the door, as if she and Xi Xi loved to play.
This couple, who love to play but refuse to admit it, still have a sense of pride.
Ji Pingxi poked his head out from under the covers and shouted before the princess could tear down the door, "I'm getting up now! Aunt, if you keep calling me, I'll complain to my mother-in-law!"
Ji Rong, beaming with pride: Go ahead and complain, Yan'er isn't even up yet, who are you going to complain to?
Not hearing any rebuttal, Ji Pingxi pointed to her head. She suspected that her aunt hadn't brought her brain with her when she went out today. If her aunt had brought her brain, she would at least show some respect, if not scold her incessantly.
Such quietness now is unusual and must be sinister.
She felt a little wronged: she had come up with the idea so that her aunt and mother-in-law could live in harmony.
"Fine. I'll go and meet her!"
Yu Zhi grabbed her sleeve: "If your aunt hits you, you have to run away. In the future, at most we won't get involved in their affairs."
"Don't worry." The princess patted the beauty's hand, then kissed her cheek before slowly getting dressed and going to open the door.
As soon as the person stopped in front of the door, Ji Rong eagerly pulled the person outside.
"Eh? Auntie?"
Ji Rong said smugly, "What a great idea you came up with! Your aunt will reward you."
"..."
Ji Pingxi glanced at the sun outside, her anxious heart finally settling down. She was speechless: "Breaking down my niece's door so early in the morning, is this my 'reward'?"
“Early morning? Which eye of yours saw ‘early morning’? If you don’t get up now, will you even have lunch?” Ji Rong didn’t speak so unreasonably. She apologized to her niece in a tactful way. Then Ji Pingxi saw a large number of people carrying boxes pouring into her princess’s residence.
Large red wooden crates were brought in like a flowing stream.
"What's wrong, Auntie?"
"This is a reward for you."
As the most favored princess during the reign of the late emperor, Princess Yunzhang possessed an unimaginable collection of treasures. Even Ji Pingxi, a man of considerable knowledge, was speechless at the sight of such an extravagant gift.
A sudden realization dawned on me: helping my royal aunt solve her problem was such a wonderful thing!
She calmed down and went to the pavilion in the back garden to have a heart-to-heart talk with Ji Rong while drinking tea.
Without even thinking, she knew that Aunt Peach Blossom Forest and her mother-in-law had a wonderful night. She carefully observed the joy in her aunt's eyes, offered her heartfelt congratulations, and received an even gentler smile in return from Ji Rong.
"I never imagined that Yan'er loved me even more than I thought..."
Ji Rong didn't think there was anything wrong with talking to her niece about these things, after all, her good niece had solved her most troublesome problem.
Under her soft, slow voice, Ji Pingxi finally understood what was going on.
My mother-in-law doesn't dislike my aunt; on the contrary, she loves her aunt too much.
Her eyes held a subtle glint in them; she couldn't believe that the efficient and decisive eldest princess was actually the one below.
Under her teasing gaze, Ji Rong sat up straight, regaining the composure that belonged to Princess Yunzhang: "If you keep looking at me like that, you won't have a wife to hug tonight."
"..."
I miss the aunt who used to give her such a big gift.
Ji Pingxi then sorted out his thoughts.
It's not that my mother-in-law doesn't love my aunt; it's just that she's gotten tired of the scenery up there and wants to try something different.
In addition, since the imperial aunt was always below her and never showed any wolfish affection towards her mother-in-law, her mother-in-law began to doubt her own charm and wondered if she was not as likable as before.
After sorting out his thoughts, Ji Pingxi suppressed a laugh: "So that's how it is. That's why I said it's important for couples to keep things fresh in their lives."
"Then what?"
Princess Zhenguo watched as her aunt pulled out what appeared to be an account book from her bosom, and then saw her pull out a pen from somewhere: "You tell me."
Ji Rong only let her go when her stomach started growling.
Thinking that she shouldn't be the only one taking advantage of her aunt and being tormented by her, Ji Pingxi earnestly offered her aunt some advice before leaving: "If we're talking about husband and wife, Mother and Father are the most experienced. If you're free, Aunt, why don't you go to Gan Ning Palace and ask my mother..."
Ideally, Mother would empty Aunt's savings.
She was 'wicked' at heart, yet her ideas were considered excellent by Ji Rong. The two hit it off immediately, and Ji Rong happily left the princess's residence.
