That wheelchair was not his world.
Seeing her stunned expression, Nan Xuzong realized he had gone a bit too far and immediately composed himself. "What's wrong?"
Ji Wushang shook her head, watching his face change so quickly, and her playful heart instantly ignited. She grinned mischievously, grabbed her wolf-hair brush, and slashed it across Nan Xuzong's face, leaving a black line. Ji Wushang burst into laughter, "Haha, haha, Cong, haha!"
Nan Xuzong was stunned for a moment. What had he just felt? It was a chilling sensation. He had been "outsmarted" by this little wildcat!
Ji Wushang burst into laughter, picked up his brush, and stepped forward to draw another stroke.
Nan Xuzong freed one hand, took another brush from the brush holder, and then drew a line on Ji Wushang's face. "I have one, and you should have one too!" Seeing the brush drawn on her face, Nan Xuzong felt delighted and laughed loudly.
Ji Wushang looked at him and smiled, then pounced on him, grabbed his neck, climbed up, and drew a line on his other cheek, making symmetrical dots on both sides!
Ji Wushang laughed heartily, bending over backward with laughter. Nan Xuzong looked at her, raised the wolf-hair brush in his hand, and said, "Look at you, you wildcat! Let me draw you too!" As he spoke, his movements were as fast as lightning. With just a light stroke, he drew a line on her face, a line that looked like a cat's whiskers.
"Don't draw mine, I want to draw yours! You're the wildcat!" Ji Wushang was having a great time playing with him, talking as she struggled forward. He laughed and used one hand to steady her waist so she wouldn't fall. She went forward and drew another stroke on Nan Xuzong's face. Not satisfied, she added another stroke. "Nan Xuzong is a wildcat, haha!"
Nan Xuzong looked at her, his eyes crinkling with laughter. He knew that she must have smudged his face with paint. Seeing her so happy made him extremely happy too. "Your face is so smudged. Come on, let me paint some more." He said, and was about to paint on his face with the brush.
Ji Wushang dodged away, "I don't want it, haha, yours is so cute!" As Nan Xuzong spoke, the black lines he drew with the brush went up and down, truly resembling a cat!
Nan Xuzong held her, laughing heartily. When he felt good, he hugged the little woman in his arms even tighter. His heart was completely occupied. He probably couldn't leave her for the rest of his life... He would never forget the feeling she gave him!
She's probably the only one in her life who would dare to paint these things on her face.
Nan Xuzong laughed, and Ji Wushang nestled in his chest, using the wolf-hair brush to draw on his smooth chin. "Zong, let me add a few strokes for you, haha, I'm so happy!"
Nan Xuzong lowered his head and grabbed her mischievous hand. "Are you trying to make me look bad?"
"I want to draw, I want to draw!" Ji Wushang looked at him and actually started to whine.
Nan Xuzong involuntarily released her grip, and she, now free, immediately pounced on him again, rubbing her chin repeatedly. Ji Wushang laughed so hard she was completely oblivious, unaware that her clothes had burst open in front of her chest. She had been lunging at him forcefully, but Nan Xuzong had been holding her waist, and naturally…
Nan Xuzong's eyes darkened, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he pulled her close, pressing his thin lips to hers in a kiss. With his other hand, he took her wolf-hair brush and set it aside.
Ji Wushang, who had been making a fuss for so long, quickly quieted down after his actions. He gently pulled her hands behind her back, while a smile remained on his face. With his other hand, he pulled her even closer to him.
Her cherry lips, sweet as sugar, captivated Nan Xuzong.
The two kissed passionately, and his hands began to wander, roaming over her body with heat.
Unfortunately, at that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Ji Wushang was startled, while Nan Xuzong's eyes snapped open, becoming sharp and hawk-like.
Ji Wushang pushed him away, trying to get off him, but he held her, saying, "Don't be afraid."
"Come in," Nan Xuzong said before Ji Wushang could speak.
Their passion was thus interrupted.
Ji Wushang pushed him away slightly, but looked up at his face. He saw that his face was cold and stern, but there were many black lines on his face, and his chin looked even more ridiculous. He looked even more ridiculous now!
Ji Wushang couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Haha, Cong, haha..."
Nan Xuzong was taken aback, then instantly understood, and couldn't help but laugh along. She always managed to bring him so much joy! The things she brought him were so many that he would cherish them for the rest of his life.
The maids who came in to serve the food were surprised to see the two of them smiling. When they saw Ji Wushang and Nan Xuzong's posture and their faces, their jaws dropped to the floor!
...
☆、204 Thrilling, another force!
This is unprecedented! We'd never seen him smile in ages, but now, our lord is smiling! And his expression is so comical that it's impossible not to laugh!
The two of them were in such an ambiguous position. So, the master has such a fetish. It seems the master always holds the princess in his arms... Look at his face, and the princess's face. What these two were doing just now, we know without asking!
Moreover, the Crown Princess's lips, tsk tsk, the prince really is...
Nan Xuzong felt uncomfortable being stared at by these maids. In front of outsiders, he was aloof and indifferent. In front of these servants or his subordinates, he was their dignified master, never smiling. But now, it felt as if someone was prying into his inner world. He was not used to this feeling.
"Ahem!" Nan Xuzong coughed lightly twice, his eyes shooting out a cold glare at the maids. The maids immediately understood that the master and the princess were playing intimately together, what were they doing watching? They might get killed!
I quickly suppressed my smile and then brought the food to the table.
Seeing that Nan Xuzong had stopped laughing, Ji Wushang dared not laugh either. However, she struggled to get off him. With the maids watching like this, people would probably gossip and say that she and Nan Xuzong were always so affectionate.
But Nan Xuzong directly showed his feelings with his actions. He held her slender waist even tighter, his eyes warming. "What are you thinking about?" His tone was gentle, full of love.
"It's not good to be stared at like that," Ji Wushang whispered in his ear.
“Nobody saw us.” Nan Xuzong glanced at the maids. “Look, they didn’t notice us. If they dared to look this way even once, I’ll kill them, okay?”
"No, why do you kill people so easily?" Ji Wushang immediately said, "If you kill them, who will work for you?"
"Hmph." Nan Xuzong snorted lightly, still embracing Ji Wushang. The maids, hearing Nan Xuzong's snort and his words, all buried their heads and hurriedly went about their tasks.
After arranging and organizing everything, I immediately left.
Nan Xuzong looked on with satisfaction and then struck out with a palm strike, instantly closing and locking the door.
Ji Wushang listened to the faint sound and looked towards the door.
He then said, "No one will dare to disturb us." As he spoke, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Seeing his smug look, Ji Wushang lightly punched his chest. "Dinner is coming soon!"
"Okay!" Nan Xuzong nodded with a smile, gently put her on the ground, and straightened her clothes. But when he saw the ink on her face, he couldn't help but laugh. Ji Wushang looked at him and laughed so hard she bent over.
Nan Xuzong laughed for a while before pulling her aside and saying, "Go wash your face first, otherwise you really won't be able to eat later."
"Okay, sure." Ji Wushang nodded and walked to the side to wash his face. Nan Xuzong pushed the wheelchair up by himself. Ji Wushang turned to look at him. The black ink stains on his face added a touch of comicality. Ji Wushang suppressed a smile as he came to him. Ji Wushang had already washed his face, splashed some water on it, and then gently wiped Nan Xuzong's face.
His eyes were dark and deep, and as he watched her gentle movements, his heart pounded in unison with them. Nan Xuzong felt that he could breathe only because of her presence.
She knew he was watching her, but she deliberately avoided turning her gaze away, instead focusing intently on every shade of ink on his face. After wiping his face clean, Ji Wushang looked at him and smiled.
Nan Xuzong looked at her with deep affection and asked, "Is everything clean?"
"Hmm." Ji Wushang nodded, looking at his face, then turned around and put the towel back, washed it, wrung it out, and put it aside to dry.
Watching her skillful movements, Nan Xuzong sometimes found it hard to imagine how a legitimate daughter of a general's family could do all this. However, he was satisfied with everything she had done for him, so there was no need to investigate why she was so adept at it.
Nan Xuzong extended his hand, "Let's have our meal."
"Okay." Ji Wushang turned around, placed his hand in the other's palm, and the two went to the table. Ji Wushang looked at the table and saw that it was full of his favorite dishes, while there were only a handful of dishes he liked. He couldn't help but frown. "Why did you ask everyone to make the dishes I like? You need to eat too!" Ji Wushang said, making him sit next to him, and picked up a piece of his favorite dish and put it in his bowl. "You have to make more of your favorite dishes in the future, otherwise, I'll get angry and not eat."
"I'll listen to you." Nan Xuzong knew that her last words weren't out of genuine anger, but hearing them warmed his heart. She was the only person in the world who cared whether he was eating well, having enough to eat, and being dressed warmly enough.
Sometimes, even in the most mundane moments of their lives together, their love for each other is revealed in the unexpected ordinariness of their daily lives.
Perhaps this is what married life should be like.
Ji Wushang smiled with satisfaction after hearing his words, and Nan Xuzong also picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.
They treat each other with the utmost respect and love, just as they did at the beginning.
After the two finished eating, they asked the maid to remove the food. The maid noticed the black ink stains on their faces were gone and felt a little disappointed; it was rare to see them playing around like this! However, seeing the cold look on the master's face, she quickly left.
Ji Wushang gently tugged at Nan Xuzong's hand, and his cold, expressionless face softened a little. He turned back and smiled at Ji Wushang, then looked at the maids, who quickly left without daring to linger for even a second.
Nan Xuzong gently embraced her. "I'm going to read for a while and take care of some things. You should take a shower first."
"Mmm." Ji Wushang gently kissed his lips, then ran away.
Nan Xuzong touched his lips, watching her leap away, and smiled as he walked to his desk. Only after she disappeared behind the screen did he take a letter from his robes.
Nan Xuzong's eyes darkened, and he immediately opened the window.
His hawk-like eyes quickly scanned the letter, then he immediately grasped it in his hand. He added a slight amount of internal energy to his palm, and the powder in his hand drifted from his slender fingertips.
He pulled out a sheet of Xuan paper, his cold face devoid of emotion.
He picked up the brush, his eyes flashing, and a sheet of paper was already filled with writing. He quickly folded the Xuan paper.
"Secret Guard!" Nan Xuzong uttered two words, and immediately a slight gust of wind blew, and a secret guard dressed in black knelt in front of Nan Xuzong.
"Give this letter to the Third Prince, and make sure it reaches him!" Nan Xuzong coldly tossed the letter out. The guard immediately caught it and stepped back. "Yes, sir!"
Nan Xuzong waved his hand, signaling him to leave.
The guard turned around and rubbed his wrist. Fortunately, the master hadn't used too much force; otherwise, he would definitely have been crippled.
Nan Xuzong glanced slightly towards the screen; his hearing was excellent, and he heard Ji Wushang bathing inside, which reassured him somewhat. He then turned his wheelchair and walked around the study.
There was something on his mind all along. But he couldn't leave now; if he did, someone else might break in.
Let's just wait for her.
It's springtime, but the nights still feel a bit chilly, and the temperature difference is still quite large.
In a brightly lit palace, Huangfu Xuan's thin lips curled slightly, while kneeling on the ground was a bodyguard.
"Bring the letter here," Huangfu Xuan said coldly.
The guard immediately presented the letter. Huangfu Xuan took the letter, then waved his hand, "That's all for you, you can leave!"
"Yes!" The guard left immediately.
Huangfu Xuan opened it, looked at the words on it, and frowned. He hadn't expected that years of friendship couldn't withstand the lure of immediate self-interest! Fine!
Huangfu Xuan placed the letter on the candle, then burned it to ashes before throwing it into the incense burner.
The person immediately went into another room.
Ji Wushang was soaking in the bathwater, the warm water somewhat numbing her nerves and making her feel relaxed. Every now and then, she would splash water on her shoulders and enjoy this moment.
Nan Xuzong sat at his desk, squinting as if he were thinking about something. Then he simply closed his eyes to calm himself. The surroundings were quiet, except for the occasional sound of water being poured inside the screen.
After a while, Ji Wushang felt the water was a bit cold, so he thought about getting up. But at that moment, he suddenly saw a green snake flicking its red tongue in front of him!
"Ah!" Ji Wushang screamed, terrified. At the same time, he saw a golden thread flash past, piercing the green snake's head!
Ji Wushang suddenly stood up and retreated with a pale face. Nan Xuzong looked at the dead green snake on the ground with deep eyes and was slightly relieved. He immediately looked at Ji Wushang, who was also looking at the green snake on the ground. He had no idea that he was completely naked and wearing nothing!
Nan Xuzong only realized what was sticky in his nostrils when he suddenly tried to wipe it with his sleeve, but then panicked and pressed a few acupoints on his body before taking out a silk handkerchief from his pocket...
Ji Wushang breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the green snake was dead. She looked at Nan Xuzong and saw that he was frantically dealing with his nosebleed. She understood and went back to the hot water. "Go out for a bit, I'm getting dressed," she said softly.
"Hmm." Nan Xuzong responded haphazardly, then simply turned his wheelchair around so that his back was to her. "Get out of the hot water quickly. Someone put medicine in the bathtub to lure that green snake here."
Ji Wushang was startled, not expecting that danger was ever-present!
So they're actually trying to harm me?
