N-A-A Is Chapter 37 big?
Is Chapter 37 big?
On a cold winter day, the comfort of soaking in a hot spring is something that those who have never done it cannot understand.
Amidst the swirling mist, Pei Rujing and her two companions sat in the hot spring, their bodies submerged from the neck down.
Zuo Mingxuan let out a long, satisfying sigh: "We should soak in hot springs more often in winter, Princess. When shall we come again?"
Pei Rujing glanced at her: "Don't forget what you promised me."
Zuo Mingxuan waved her hand: "It's nothing!"
Although this guy is a bit greedy, his credit is still pretty good.
Pei Rujing raised her hand and gently stroked the water's surface; her slender, smooth arms glowed with white light.
Zuo Mingxuan was taken aback, then chuckled and said, "Young Master Wen is truly blessed to have married the county princess."
Princess Changning, who was only eight years old and still a little girl, leaned her head closer and sneered, "Of course he's lucky. He stole my cousin."
Princess Changning didn't know much about marriage. She only knew that Pei Rujing hadn't come to the palace to see her for a long time because she was getting married. She wanted to go out of the palace to visit Pei Rujing, but the Empress refused her on the grounds that Pei Rujing was getting married.
As a result, Princess Changning had never met Wen Zongji, yet she disliked him very much.
Zuo Mingxuan embraced Princess Changning, his smile growing increasingly lewd: "The good fortune I'm talking about isn't this."
Pei Rujing moved away from Zuo Mingxuan, looking disgusted: "You're a woman, can you please stop smiling like a thug? It's disgusting."
As she said this, Pei Rujing's cheeks subtly warmed up, though it wasn't immediately noticeable because her cheeks were already flushed from soaking in the hot spring.
Although they had not yet consummated their marriage, they shared a bed and a blanket, so physical contact was inevitable.
Pei Rujing already had a basic understanding of love between men and women.
Zuo Mingxuan, however, wouldn't let Pei Rujing off the hook: "I read in the storybooks that doing that kind of thing seems very pleasurable. Among the people around me, only the county princess has gotten married. Can you tell me if what's described in the storybooks is true?"
Pei Rujing was surprised that Zuo Mingxuan actually dared to ask that question, and said in embarrassment and anger, "Zuo San! You're a woman, don't you know any shame?"
The image of sitting on Wen Zongji's lap and being surrounded by his aura couldn't help but flash through my mind.
The blush on her face deepened, and she looked like she was about to burst into flames.
Zuo Mingxuan looked completely innocent: "It's just the three of us here. Is there anything wrong with our conversation?"
Princess Changning pointed to the maids, including Qinghe, who were hanging their heads and acting like they were invisible: "Cousin Xuan, have you forgotten about them?"
Zuo Mingxuan said, "They won't go around gossiping. Never mind, to avoid embarrassing the county princess, you should all leave."
Not only Qinghe and her group were serving here, but also Zuo Mingxuan's maids and palace maids.
The group exchanged glances, and seeing that Pei Rujing remained silent, none of them dared to move.
Zuo Mingxuan clearly couldn't command everyone.
Zuo Mingxuan didn't care and pretended they had already left. She asked in a low voice, "I heard that if a man's thing is too small, even if it doesn't affect his ability to father children, it won't make a woman feel good. Is your husband's thing big?"
Is it big or not?
After all, they had been married for over a month, and Pei Rujing had vaguely noticed it...
Pei Rujing stood up abruptly: "I'm not soaking anymore!"
If she stays in the water any longer, she'll be almost cooked.
Zuo Mingxuan clicked her tongue: "It's no harm in talking about it. It's all written in the stories; women have to go through this sooner or later. What's there to be ashamed of?"
Having read so many stories, she really wanted to know what it felt like to do that kind of thing.
Unlike Pei Rujing, who enjoys reading martial arts novels, Zuo Mingxuan prefers romance novels, especially those with complex and entangled themes.
Pei Rujing glared at her: "You read so many storybooks, don't let yourself be fooled by a poor scholar in the future."
Qinghe and the others surrounded Pei Rujing, helping her wipe her body.
Zuo Mingxuan was still soaking in the hot spring, her chin resting on her arm, leaning against the edge of the pool: "I can't stand any hardship. If someone's family background is worse than mine, I won't even look at them."
Let alone poor, pedantic scholars, even a high-born illegitimate son like Wen Zongji was beneath Zuo Mingxuan's notice.
Princess Changning, who had followed Pei Rujing out of the hot spring, vaguely overheard them talking about Wen Zongji. She asked with concern, "Cousin, is that illegitimate son good to you? Has he bullied you?"
Pei Rujing frowned and tapped her forehead: "You have no manners! What do you mean, illegitimate son? You should call him brother-in-law."
Princess Changning rubbed her forehead: "No way! I don't like him."
Pei Rujing scoffed, "He's my husband, he doesn't need your affection."
Princess Changning was unhappy and hugged Pei Rujing, pouting, "Cousin, I am your beloved Changning. How could you treat me like this for the sake of an outsider?"
Zuo Mingxuan laughed, her tone ambiguous: "Princess, the county princess and Young Master Wen are married. They share a bed every day, which is something you, as her cousin, can't compare to."
Whatever comes out of Zuo Mingxuan's mouth has a kind of frivolous feel to it.
Princess Changning retorted, "I've shared a bed with my cousin too; we even slept in the same blanket."
Zuo Mingxuan blinked: "Princess, this 'sharing a bed' is not the same as that 'sharing a bed'!"
Princess Changning asked in confusion, "What's the difference? Could it be related to what Cousin Xuan asked about, 'big or small'?"
She looked down at herself, wondering what could possibly be related to size.
puff-
Zuo Mingxuan burst into laughter, losing her balance and splashing water in the hot spring.
Pei Rujing's cheeks, which had finally cooled down, heated up again.
She had no idea what sins she had committed to end up with these two people.
Who would believe that among the three of them, Pei Rujing was actually the most well-behaved?
I'm so tired!
Destroy it!
Pei Rujing pushed Princess Changning away expressionlessly, dressed, and walked out of the hot spring room.
At this moment, the eldest princess had finished soaking in the hot spring and was sitting in the lobby drinking tea.
Seeing that Pei Rujing was alone, the eldest princess asked in confusion, "Why are you alone?"
Pei Rujing pouted and snuggled into the Princess's arms, whining, "Mother, they're all bullying me."
The eldest princess smiled: "Tell your mother, how did they bully you?"
Pei Rujing was speechless for a moment.
They say Zuo Mingxuan is improper, always asking her about her bedroom affairs with Wen Zongji?
Or is it that Princess Changning is oblivious yet always manages to help Zuo Mingxuan, thus exacerbating Pei Rujing's sense of shame?
And the lewd thoughts in her own mind constantly refreshed her sense of shame.
Pei Rujing couldn't say anything, so she could only resort to shamelessness: "Anyway, they're the ones who bullied me."
The eldest princess didn't know what to say.
Inside the hot spring room, Princess Changning looked at the beaming Zuo Mingxuan and asked, "Cousin Xuan, what did I say wrong?"
Zuo Mingxuan smiled and said, "You didn't misspoke! The princess is such a cutie."
He delivered the most devastating blow to Pei Rujing with the most innocent tone.
Princess Changning didn't believe Zuo Mingxuan's words at all: "Cousin Xuan, it's all your fault. If you're angry with me and ignore me, I'll tell my aunt that you're going to give me storybooks so I can broaden my horizons."
Zuo Mingxuan's face stiffened.
Princess Changning turned and walked out.
Left behind, Zuo Mingxuan was left speechless with grief.
I almost forgot she's a little witch.
