Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

587 Do not hate me

“Why did you see my mother?” Xiaoming asked Jin Yu after Sun Fuguo informed him about it. “Don’t you know she is out of her mind these days? Don’t go to her,” he muttered and loosened the knot of his upper robe.

“I thought she would understand,” Jin Yu said with a pout and sat on the bed.

“When she didn’t listen to me, then why would she listen to you? She will not understand anyone anymore. All she cares about is her dead husband,” Xiaoming remarked.

Xiaoming was infuriated and the anger was visible in his tone. Jin Yu rose to his feet and stood in front of him. She cupped his face in her palms and said, “As a concerned wife, I went to see your mother. I know she doesn’t like me at all, so my words didn’t even have any value to her.”

She lowered her hand and asked him if he would like to go out on a horse.

“Let’s go out in disguise,” Jin Yu opined.

“It’s not a good idea. If it is found that the King and the Queen aren’t in the palace, chaos may occur in the palace,” he said with a worried look.

“Ah, I almost forgot about it.” Jin Yu still had no realization that she was not an ordinary woman anymore. She could not go around, having fun like others. Suddenly, she missed that life where she was a free bird. She didn’t have to think twice before going out.

“Let’s go to the lakeside,” Xiaoming said and fastened the knot on his robe. He brought his hand to the front while keeping the other behind his back.

.....

Jin Yu smiled and nodded at him. They went to the lake pavilion which was illuminated with lanterns. Xiaoming placed his hand on her shoulder and drew her close to him.

“Forgive me for limiting your freedom,” Xiaoming said.

“I chose it. You don’t need to apologize. You gave me a lot more freedom,” Jin Yu asserted.

“Don’t say it to keep my heart. You should be truthful to me,” Xiaoming said and tilted his head to gaze at her.

“I am truthful. My safety is also a matter of concern. I am well aware of that,” Jin Yu stated and turned to him. “Take a day off from your work. I will take you out then. We can go to the nearby village, where no one knows us by our faces,” she suggested to him.

Xiaoming agreed with her. “For two days, the court remains closed. We can go on those days,” he told Jin Yu.

“That will be great,” Jin Yu said and clasped her hands together. “I will make an entire day’s plan, then,” she was excited about their trip to the place outside the palace.

Xiaoming smiled to see her happy.

“Did you get any news from Prince Lóng Wei?” Jin Yu queried him.

“I didn’t. Huiying city takes four days to travel. It will take time for the messenger to return,” Xiaoming informed her.

“Monk Yuze was from Huiying city!?” Jin Yu was astonished to learn about it.

“From the valley of peace in Huiying city,” Xiaoming answered.

“It sounds like a beautiful and peaceful place,” Jin Yu muttered as her eyes gleamed.

“I have only read about it. The place is like an abode. Surrounded by numerous hills, the clouds can cover the top of the entire valley and if one goes to the great mountain which is located at its one side, one can witness that,” Xiaoming explained to her.

“I can imagine what the place looks like. I also want to visit such a place,” Jin Yu expressed her desire. Xiaoming heard her and decided to take her to a place that would be close to the palace.

They stayed in the lake pavilion for almost an hour before returning to the bedchamber.

Lóng Wei entered the room after drinking peach liquor with his father after dinner. It was the first time he drank with his father.

“Li Hua,” Lóng Wei hugged her tightly, who was awake for him.

“Did His Highness have fun with his father?” Li Hua asked.

“Hmm. We drank a lot and we talked a lot,” Lóng Wei replied and pulled away. He lost his balance when Li Hua caught him by his arm and asked him to be careful.

Lóng Wei placed his hands on her shoulders and continued to smile at her. “Give me a kiss,” he said and pointed at his lips before pouting.

“His Highness is drunk,” Li Hua said and he opened his eyes.

“I am not. I can see only one Li Hua at the moment. If there were more than one, then I would have been drunk,” he said while forcing himself to keep his eyes open.

“First, let’s go to bed,” Li Hua said and they went to bed. She made him sit on it when he laid back and closed his eyes.

Li Hua bent on her knees and removed the shoes from Lóng Wei’s feet first. She washed her hands and returned to the room.

To her surprise, she found Lóng Wei seated on the bed. “You didn’t give me a kiss,” he said. Li Hua shook her head in dismay and sat next to him. She lightly pecked his lips and asked him to sleep.

“But I am not drunk,” Lóng Wei said and pulled the overcoat out of his arms. He threw it somewhere on the floor and said, “I love you, Li Hua.” His hands moved to his upper robe when Li Hua told him she would do it.

“I also adore Prince Lóng Wei,” Li Hua said and untied the two knots on his cross-collar robe. His fingers hooked into her hair as he pulled her for a kiss. She could taste the peach liquor from his lips. He flipped her on the bed and deepened their kiss.

They withdrew from the kiss to gasp for air. Li Hua looked into Lóng Wei’s black orbs, which carried numerous emotions for her.

“Forgive me for not helping in the cooking,” Lóng Wei said. “I thought you would get to eat the noodles made by my hands, but I wasn’t interested in cooking. I am not a bad husband. So, do not hate me,” he murmured and leaned down. His forehead rested above her shoulder, and he drifted off to sleep.
