Chapter 505 Rong San apologizes
However, when she met his worried eyes, her heart softened again, "Don't worry, just take a few doses of medicinal soup and nurse yourself back to health in a few days. It's no big deal."
This guy, ever since the emperor ordered him to go to the border to buy horses, he has become even more clinging to her. Whenever he has time, he will torture her to death. He looks like he wants to be glued to her twelve hours a day. Her inability to go down made her feel nervous, excited, and scared these past few days, which caused the date of her menstrual period to be messed up.
Hearing what she said, Chu Jingqi felt regretful. At this moment, she lost her interest in Feng Hua Qiu Yue, and drooped in frustration.
He said, "I will be careful next time, Ayu, and you will stop me next time I do something stupid." Although he liked playing with her body, he was more worried about her body.
If he ruined her body, even death a hundred times wouldn't be enough.
Seeing him like this, Xia Zihan's heart softened even more, and she said in a soft voice, "Okay, I'm fine, don't worry, I promise I'm fine, go tell Nuanyu quickly and let her put the things away." Be prepared. If you don’t bring it, you can just sew one temporarily.”
"Yeah, I'll go right away." Chu Jingqi strode out without even putting on any clothes.
Nuan Yu and the others had been guarding outside the bedroom door. Chu Jingqi did not open the door, but stood inside the door and gave her instructions.
After giving the instructions, he hurried back to Xia Zihan, fearing that something would happen to her.
At this moment, he was not in the mood to soak in the hot spring. He helped Xia Zihan wipe the water stains on her body, and then clumsily tried to put her clothes on. Xia Zihan said, "I'll do it, and you can wear yours too."< br>
"No, you have a stomachache, I'd better help you."
Chu Jingqi felt so guilty that he had to do something for her so that he would feel better. Otherwise, he would almost die of heartache and regret.
After Xia Zihan was dressed, he also put on the inner clothes in a hurry. Then, he bent down to pick her up and carried her back to the bedroom.
He placed her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and said, "Get warm under the quilt first. I asked Nuanyu to boil brown sugar water. It should be quick. You can bear it a little longer."
"Well, I'm feeling better now. It's not as painful as before."
In fact, it hurt more than before, but when she saw that his face turned pale with worry, she felt distressed, so she pretended that it didn't hurt as much.
Chu Jingqi did not dare to relax. He sat on the edge of the bed and held her hand. No matter how Xia Zihan said she was fine, he would not let go.
It wasn't until Nuanyu knocked on the door that Chu Jingqi let go and got up to open the door. Xia Zihan was still behind him and said, "Go out and let Nuanyu come in."
However, he didn't let Nuanyu and the others in, he just took the things from their hands and closed the door again.
He came over holding a tray in one hand. On one tray was a can of boiled brown sugar water and an empty bowl and spoon. On the other tray was a clean belt sewn from goatskin.
Putting down the tray, he picked up the belt and walked towards Xia Zihan.
Xia Zihan's cheeks were bright red and she said coquettishly, "You go out. This is my daughter's family matter. You, a grown man, can't be here. Even that... you can't touch any belt."
In ancient times, there has always been a saying that men would not touch a woman with moon water, and would not even see the woman during those days, thinking that the thing was dirty and would taint their wealth, luck, and official career.
But Chu Jingqi didn't believe it. He had never been so particular. He smiled and said, "I'm worried that my wife has a stomachache and can't do it alone. I stayed here to help."
"I don't need your help." Xia Zihan sat up, waved and took the things in his hands, struggling to get out of bed, "I...I'm going to the bathroom...if you don't go out, just stay. Okay.”
"Ah..." As soon as he lifted the quilt, he was picked up by Chu Jingqi, "Daughter-in-law, then I will carry you over."
"Then just carry me to the bathroom door." Everyone was hugged, and Xia Zihan was not polite to him. Maybe it was because of his thoughtfulness and concern that made her feel as sweet as honey, and her stomachache felt like Lightened up a bit. Chu Jingqi carried her directly into the bath. It wasn't until she stood firm that he left the bathroom and stood guard at the door.
After only waiting for two minutes, he heard footsteps. Chu Jingqi opened the door and saw Xia Zihan coming this way, rubbing her belly with one hand and frowning.
He walked over, picked her up, went back to the dormitory, and put her on the bed.
I poured brown sugar water and coaxed her to drink it before letting her fall asleep.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Chu Jingqi climbed onto the bed and got into the quilt, "I will use my inner strength to warm you up."
As he said that, he put a hand into her clothes and caressed her belly. Soon, Xia Zihan felt a warm breath penetrate into her body. Her belly, which was still a little aching, It relieved a lot instantly.
"Does it still hurt?" he asked gently.
"It doesn't hurt. Your hands are so warm." Xia Zihan's eyebrows relaxed and he hummed in comfort.
Chu Jingqi's eyes were so wet that she could shed water for a moment, "My hand will only serve you tonight, to warm your belly. From now on, when you give me the moon water, I will also give you pain relief."< br>
“You must keep your word.”
"Well, it counts. What I said to Ayu must count."
……
Sure enough, for the past two days, apart from eating and playing, the couple stayed in their room.
Sometimes, Xia Zihan leaned in Chu Jingqi's arms, flipping through a thick book of miscellaneous notes, and would discuss it with Chu Jingqi when he saw something interesting.
Sometimes, the two of them would do nothing but hug each other quietly or talk softly. Chu Jingqi would treat his things on the battlefield as stories and tell them to Xia Zihan.
Xia Zihan liked to listen very much and always pestered him to tell more. It was not until the next afternoon when Chu Jingqi had to leave that the two of them left the room.
One set off to the border and the other returned to the capital. After walking together for a short distance, Chu Jingqi simply took a detour and sent her outside the city gate, and the young couple reluctantly said goodbye.
After sending Chu Jingqi away, Xia Zihan felt as if her heart had been hollowed out. She couldn't bring herself to cheer up. She even had no inspiration to draw the patterns for the Jade Shape Pavilion in Cuiyu Xuan every month.
Fortunately, Qi Lan has experience in this aspect. The pattern of this issue was drawn by Qi Lan. Looking at it, it looks like Xia Zihan's style, novel and noble.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, Rong San obeyed the order and came limping to apologize. It was Chu Yuexi who came to receive him.
Chu Yuexi has been in the world for many years and is used to being generous. This is the first time she has dealt with Rong San, who is full of scheming and narrow-minded. She has a bad impression of him.
As for the gift given by Rong San, it was in compliance with the emperor's order. Xia Zihan could not refuse it, so she asked Chu Yuexi to accept it on her behalf. She excused herself from feeling unwell and did not go out to see him.
There will be more later.
