Chapter 5476 Wishes Fulfilled
As night fell, the lanterns hanging on the cart shafts emitted an orange glow, through which snowflakes drifted down in a soft, dense flutter.
The wheels crunched softly over the snow on the road.
Inside the carriage, Princess Jinyang nestled beside Fang Jun, her arm around his. Fang Jun could feel the softness in her touch as the carriage swayed.
The lotus buds are just beginning to emerge...
There were no lights in the carriage, and the curtains tightly blocked out the cold air outside. Although Princess Jinyang remained silent, her pretty face was already flushed in the darkness. The constant contact with her private parts made her heart pound and her body go weak.
Although her actions today were somewhat unrestrained and even frivolous, she couldn't care less.
Rather than marrying just any man or spending her life alone with a scholar, she was willing to sacrifice everything to achieve happiness.
Besides, why care so much when you're in front of the man you like?
Especially in this dimly lit environment, alone with the carriage swaying and snowflakes falling, the only sounds in the world are the carriage rolling over the snow and the horses sneezing from time to time. It feels as if the two of them are pressed tightly together, inseparable, which makes her feel extremely happy.
Being pressed so tightly against such a soft and petite body, Fang Jun felt extremely uncomfortable, unable to eat or touch it.
"Your Highness..."
"Don't speak, just stay quiet."
"..."
Fang Jun could only sigh.
He truly couldn't bear to say a harsh word to this little girl who had been pampered since childhood, and he couldn't bear to see her even slightly sad.
I had no choice but to go along with her wishes.
Even amidst the warmth and intimacy of a beautiful woman, with blood already flowing downwards and surging to the point of release...
The carriage circled Qujiang Pool and followed the path up the southern slope of Leyouyuan. Half an hour later, it finally arrived at Xuanqing Temple. Feeling the soft, warm body leave him, Fang Jun breathed a sigh of relief.
The car door opened, and the lanterns in front of Xuanqing Temple reflected light onto the snow.
Princess Jinyang, supported by her maid, got out of the carriage and turned to call out to Fang Jun, "Brother-in-law, come down and have a cup of hot tea before you go."
Fang Jun shook his head vigorously: "Thank you, Your Highness, but there's no need. It's getting late, so I'll head back to my residence now."
How could he not notice Princess Jinyang's unusual behavior today?
He was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist making a mistake.
Princess Jinyang, contrary to her usual behavior, completely disregarded the gazes of her personal guards and maids. She actually reached out and took Fang Jun's hand, smiling sweetly: "Brother-in-law, I am very grateful for your company during the day at Qujiang Pool. There are still many things I haven't said yet."
Fang Jun had no choice but to follow Princess Jinyang inside, as he couldn't argue with her in front of everyone.
Princess Jinyang pulled him into the room, then turned to the maids and said, "You may all leave."
"Here."
The maids lowered their heads and left the room, closing the door behind them.
Fang Jun felt it was inappropriate; how could a man and a woman be alone in a room together?
Moreover, Princess Jinyang is acting extremely aggressively today, for reasons unknown.
Just as he was about to speak, Princess Jinyang pulled him by the hand and led him to the candlestick. She picked up several small copper shades and placed them on the candles one by one. The copper shades fell down to cut off the air, and the candles went out.
The three candles on the candlestick went out one by one, plunging the room into darkness.
Fang Jun was startled and realized something was wrong. Just as he was about to shake off Princess Jinyang and turn to leave, a petite and delicate body rushed into his arms, and two soft, moist lips pressed against him, exuding a fragrance like orchids and musk.
Fang Jun tried his best to suppress his desires, but he couldn't.
……
At midnight, the north wind howled, and the fish-shaped ornaments hanging from the eaves, probably old and rotten, swayed back and forth in the cold wind, making a rhythmic, soft sound that lingered for a long time...
……
At dawn, a pale white light appeared on the horizon, and the wind stopped and the snow ceased.
The roof of Xuanqing Temple was covered with snow, and it was secluded and quiet. A few birds landed on the eaves, chirping and chattering, and then suddenly flapped their wings and flew away.
Princess Jinyang endured the discomfort and crawled out of bed. With the help of her maid, she cleaned her body with hot water, changed into a set of cotton undergarments, and went back to bed. She wanted to take a nap with her head on the man's arm, but she found that the man was staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, his gaze seemingly unfocused.
"Pfft!"
Princess Jinyang, who had done such a thing last night and had finally gotten her wish, was originally shy and bashful, but now, seeing Fang Jun's expression, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
You're the one who got the better deal, so why are you acting like you've been humiliated, lost your innocence, and have no will to live?
She raised her hand and gently patted the man's chest, scolding him playfully, "Don't be naughty!"
Fang Jun moved his eyes, looking at the beautiful face above him, still bearing traces of tears, sighed softly, and closed his eyes again.
Princess Jinyang's face turned pale: "Brother-in-law, do you regret it?"
She mustered all her courage to do such a contemptible thing; if she were to be despised by Fang Jun because of it, she would be devastated and wouldn't even have time to cry herself to death...
What else could Fang Jun say?
He stretched out his arms and embraced her slender waist, gently pulling Princess Jinyang to lie against his chest. Her beautiful hair piled up in the crook of his neck, and the close contact between their ears and cheeks made him feel a little itchy.
He sighed and said, "I have no regrets. Your Highness's loyalty is as precious as gold, and you have pledged yourself to me. This is a blessing that I have accumulated over many lifetimes... I'm just afraid that I have wronged Your Highness."
"It was my own choice."
Princess Jinyang nestled against her lover's chest, her face pressed against his broad, strong chest as she listened to his powerful heartbeat. She couldn't help but recall the intense and fierce rhythm of the previous night, and felt her cheeks burning.
Fang Jun sighed again.
Princess Jinyang raised her head, looking down at his well-defined, handsome face. She gently stroked his thick, dark eyebrows and straight nose with her delicate hand, and said softly, "Brother-in-law, there's no need to worry. I won't ask for anything. This is enough. There's no need to tell anyone else. Just like your poem said, 'If love between two people lasts forever, why should they be together every day and night?'"
She had never cared about titles or status, so why would she make things difficult for Fang Jun for those reasons?
Fang Jun smiled wryly and said, "How can we hide it? Not to mention that His Majesty's 'Hundred Cavalry Division' will get the news immediately, even the people in my family can't be kept in the dark."
He went out to keep his appointment in Jinyang, but didn't return all night...
Even a fool knows what happened.
Princess Jinyang dismissed it, saying, "Why not just deny it?"
"But once Your Highness is pregnant, it will be impossible to deny it, since nothing happened last night..."
"oops!"
Princess Jinyang was overcome with embarrassment. She sat up, her delicate body, revealed beneath her cotton undergarment, and pushed Fang Jun away, saying, "Hurry up and wash up before going home. I need to rest properly."
Last night, having just received your favor and having just experienced your first taste of pleasure, and then encountering such a valiant man as Fang Jun, I am still feeling unwell and aching all over...
Fang Jun sat up, scratching his head in frustration.
"What should I say when they ask me about it later?"
Seeing him like this, Princess Jinyang was overjoyed and mocked, "Brother-in-law is skilled in both literature and martial arts, and is the bravest in the army, but who would have thought that he would be afraid of his wife?"
Fang Jun quickly straightened up and said, "It's not that I'm afraid of my wife! It's about respect!"
He spoke tough words, but felt bitter inside.
How should I explain this when I get back?
……
"I'm going out to drink, compose poetry, and visit old friends. Don't meddle in my business. Do you really think I'm henpecked?"
Back in his residence, sitting in the main hall, facing his wives and concubines' questions about where he had spent the night, Fang Jun appeared calm and collected, though he was inwardly nervous but outwardly defiant.
Princess Gaoyang sneered, "We naturally don't care about drinking and composing poetry, and you can visit old friends as you please. But tell us properly, why did you stay overnight at Xuanqing Temple last night? What did you do? You need to give us an explanation!"
Fang Jun, though outwardly fierce, was inwardly weak: "An explanation? What explanation do I, Fang Er, the dignified head of the family, need?"
Princess Chang Le hesitated for a long time before finally asking, "My lord, you wouldn't...?"
Fang Jun knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so he sighed and looked helpless: "I drank too much last night, and His Highness Jinyang was so gentle and considerate, I really... made a mistake that any man would make."
The hall was silent. Although the wives and concubines had suspected it, they were all speechless when Fang Jun admitted it.
Only Wu Zetian smiled and sipped her tea, having long seen through this scoundrel's wicked intentions but lack of courage; given the chance, he would eventually devour that little princess...
Princess Chang Le knew that this was perhaps destined, but the thought of the consequences made her facepalm. She said angrily, "You're not a hot-blooded young man anymore. Even if Jin Yang is willing to get close to you, can't you just hold back?"
Fang Jun covered his face: "I tried to hold back, but I couldn't."
Xiao Shu'er: "..."
Kim Seung-man: "..."
Qiao'er: "..."
Wu Meiniang: "..."
Princess Gaoyang laughed angrily, "Have you no shame? You did such a shameful thing and yet you try to shift the blame to Jinyang. You are utterly shameless!"
Fang Jun, seemingly unfazed, shrugged and said, "Things have come to this, what can we do now?"
We've already done it, what can you do about it?
Princess Chang Le shook her head helplessly: "I'm afraid His Majesty will be furious and won't let this go!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a steward announced from outside that an imperial eunuch had come to deliver a decree summoning Fang Jun to the palace for an audience with the emperor…
Princess Gaoyang quickly advised, "His Majesty has always favored Jinyang. This time you have made a big mistake, and His Majesty will definitely reprimand you. After all, you were in the wrong first, so let His Majesty vent his anger."
Princess Chang Le also said, "His Majesty will certainly not approve your marriage to Jin Yang. You don't need to argue. Just be patient for a while and then make a decision."
The son-in-law of Princess Gaoyang married the legitimate daughter of Emperor Taizong and Empress Wende.
This is absolutely impossible from the perspective of etiquette and ethics.
Even she, a woman nominally awaiting marriage after her divorce, was not allowed to marry, let alone Princess Jinyang.
Therefore, they too will inevitably be like her, having a name but no status...
Fang Jun nodded: "My ladies, rest assured, I understand His Majesty's feelings at this moment, so even if he says something excessive or does something excessive, I can tolerate it and let it go."
He went to the inner quarters to change into a set of casual clothes, then went out and followed the eunuch in a carriage directly to Chengtian Gate to enter the palace.
Upon arriving at the door of the Imperial Study in the Wude Hall, after the eunuch announced his arrival, a fierce roar was heard from inside the study: "Let him get in!"
Fang Jun: "..."
With a sigh, he lowered his head and stepped inside.
This time, Li Chengqian has finally caught him red-handed, and he's probably going to unleash all the pent-up frustration he's accumulated over the years...
