Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

Chapter 54 The tacit understanding between husband and wife

Xie Shang was smart enough to offer her a seat. The bathtub in Lanyue Pavilion was big enough to accommodate two people with some space left over.

Jiang Fenghua saw him lying obediently beside the tub. Just as she was about to get up, Xie Shang suddenly grabbed her ankle and said, "Let's take a bath together."

Jiang Fenghua wanted to say that he had washed it, but Xie Shang's tone left no room for doubt. She picked up the towel and gently wiped his back, washed his arms, and went all the way down...

Her movements were gentle, as if she was stroking a pet. Now she treated him as a pet, otherwise she was afraid she would not have the patience to finish washing him.

Her hair below her shoulders was also wet and floating on the water, making her look charming and attractive.

But Xie Shang was unmoved. The two of them helped each other take a bath like a normal couple. She even washed his hair for him. He didn't plan to get up until it was clean and the water had become a little cold.

She said, "Your Highness." He seemed to be in no mood today and was in a bad mood.

"I am a little tired, you get up first!" Xie Shang's heart was surging, and he felt hot and uneasy, but he was very calm and would not do anything rash with her in the water.

Jiang Fenghua stood up gracefully and walked behind the screen with her whole body wet. She took off her wet skirt, wiped the water stains with a handkerchief, and changed into clean clothes before coming out from behind the screen.

"I'm fine," she said.

"Yeah." Xie Shang lay on his back in the bathtub with his eyes slightly closed. He was in much better spirits than before. His stomach felt empty from drinking too much. He felt a little uncomfortable. There had been no progress in the case for half a month and he was even a little irritated.

Jiang Fenghua seemed to see the irritation between his brows and turned around and walked out.

Xie Shang heard her go out, but didn't care. He soon got out of the bathtub, scooped up clean water and rinsed again. After washing, he felt refreshed and got dressed.

The room was empty and he wondered: Where did Jiang Fenghua go?

He suddenly felt a little lost. He had been away from home for half a month, running around to track down the thieves who had robbed the imperial tomb. He finally traced it to Lai San, and he chased him here.

Now he was indeed a little tired.

He took a piece of paper, picked up a pen and began to write.

A moment later, Jiang Fenghua came back with a food box. She saw Xie Shang sitting at the table, writing something seriously. He didn't even notice her coming in. She put the tray on the table and walked to him again, "Your Majesty."

Xie Shang kept moving his hands and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

"I have cooked something for Your Highness. Please eat a little to warm your stomach." Jiang Fenghua said in a gentle voice.

Xie Shang paused, and saw Jiang Fenghua had walked to the table and opened the food box. Suddenly a fragrant smell wafted into his nostrils, and he swallowed unconsciously.

Jiang Fenghua said to himself: "If a person is hungry, he will not be able to concentrate. Only when he has a full stomach can he have more energy to think. Your Majesty, don't worry. Fill your stomach first."

"I made two light side dishes and a bowl of chicken noodle soup. The chicken soup was cooked on the stove by Madam Xu. The chicken was soft and fragrant but not greasy. The noodles were tender and refreshing."

After hearing what she said, his stomach began to growl. Her voice was soft and gentle, just very pleasant to hear.

He couldn't resist the temptation, walked to the table and took a look at her. He finally felt relieved and his depression dissipated. He asked nonsensically, "Did the princess make this specially for me?"

Jiang Fenghua opened her eyes wide, "Is there a third person in the room? Wasn't what I just said clear enough?"

She looked around, hugged her arms tightly, and said deliberately, "Your Majesty, please don't scare me. I am timid and afraid."

Xie Shang raised a faint smile. Jiang Fenghua suddenly took his hand and sat down. "Your Highness, please eat quickly. You have worked hard on the journey. Although your return is a little special and unexpected, I will never let you go hungry."

Jiang Fenghua took a pair of chopsticks and handed them to him, "Yes."

Xie Shang took it and felt warm in his heart. The noodles were very fragrant. After eating, his mood instantly improved and his stomach felt better.

Sure enough, a person's mood is related to whether his stomach is full.

Jiang Fenghua felt that Xie Shang was like a child, with inexplicable temper. No wonder they said that men need to be coaxed.

He seemed to lack care and extremely lack of love.

When he was a child, he would cry and shed tears because he did not get the emperor's recognition.

Jiang Fenghua cleaned up and went to the kitchen again. Xie Shang returned to the desk to continue the unfinished official business. It was because it was too late that he did not go to the study. At this moment, he suddenly had an idea and began to write quickly.

She came back after a while. She seemed to have noticed that the contents on the paper were related to the case of the theft in the imperial tomb.

The eldest brother said that he found out some gossip through special channels, and Xie Shang was unhappy about the case, so was he upset about the case just now?

She remembered that even though the imperial mausoleum was robbed in her previous life, nothing major happened in the next ten years. At most, some of the gems and jades buried with the royal family in the mausoleum disappeared.

But looking at Xie Shang's current appearance, she knew that something extremely important must have been missing.

"You go to sleep first. I still have some things to deal with." Xie Shang said gently when he saw her come back.

She said nothing, "It's already late, Your Majesty, please rest early after you finish your work. Your health is the most important thing."

Seeing that she went into the inner room, Xie Shang had no intention of writing anymore, so he put down his pen and followed her in.

He blew out the candle and got on the bed. Seeing that he followed her so quickly, Jiang Fenghua subconsciously moved inside.

She lifted the quilt and placed it over her chest. Xie Shang suddenly held her hand, and she felt a surge of panic in her heart.

He suddenly lifted the quilt from her body, and she felt his large palm slowly covering her. She guessed that he must have held the sword a lot these days, otherwise how could calluses appear on his palms.

How did Xie Shang spend the time he was away?

He is a prince, and even when he goes out to investigate a case, he is treated like a rich and powerful person. He should not have suffered much, but why is he so tired, and why did he personally chase the thief to Yichun Tower?

"Be serious." Xie Shang panted on her and suddenly spoke.

Jiang Fenghua then came to her senses and cooperated with him. They got along very well. Some things would get out of control once they started. They didn't feel unfamiliar with each other when they were together, and they even slowly felt happy.

She took the initiative to climb onto his shoulders, and the two no longer had any verbal communication. She only felt as if her soul had been hollowed out by the other.

He worked for more than half an hour before Jiang Fenghua finally broke free from his body.

Her consciousness became blurred, and she only felt that Xie Shang was becoming more and more at ease.

She didn’t know how many women Xie Shang had been with, but she could feel his awkwardness when they did it for the first time.

Because it was too late, neither of them wanted to get up and go to the bathroom, so they fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, before dawn, Xie Shang woke her up again.

Jiang Fenghua stared at the man above with his clear and bright eyes.

She thought: Xie Shang was wearing clothes, had he gotten up? Why did he come from outside? Was he going to the morning court or to the government office?

Xie Shang's body was like a roaring beast, sending out ambiguous messages. He suddenly stroked the hair on her forehead, his eyes staring at the blush on her cheeks. She was like a gorgeous rose, fascinating and making him want to explore her again and again.

Jiang Fenghua was held down by him, and she lay on the bed with her arms and legs spread out. His kiss attacked her like a violent storm...

In the end, she was even a little overwhelmed.

Xie Shang never tired of savoring her beauty until she begged for mercy, then he tormented her again. He seemed to be using her as an experiment, and each time he did it longer than the last.

Jiang Fenghua felt depressed and thought that something was wrong with his return this time. She wanted to remind him that excessive indulgence was not good.

Fortunately, Xie Shang sympathized with her, his actions were not rude, and he even learned to please her.

After finishing the work, it was already light in the sky. He said, "You should sleep a little longer. I still have to go to the government office to handle a case. I may go to the palace later. I don't know when I can finish my work. I may not be able to return home today."

Jiang Fenghua didn't have the energy to answer him. Even if he didn't say anything, she would still sleep soundly.

But is he reporting his whereabouts to her?

She stared at him with her watery eyes and nodded gently, "No matter how late it is, I will wait for you, Your Majesty."

After Xie Shang left, Jiang Fenghua asked someone to pass a letter to Jiang Jinyan.
