Li Rong remembered Pei Wenxuan's inexperience.
Although it had been many years, she still remembered Pei Wenxuan's cautious and flustered appearance when they kissed for the first time.
In the beginning, it was just a light touch of their lips. She only felt that it was a little soft, but nothing else. It was not as mysterious as the rumors said.
Later on, it was reckless and clumsy, and there was more desire. However, Li Rong did not feel that happy. They had just gotten married, so they just dealt with it.
However, Pei Wenxuan saw her dealing with it. He had always been a good student and taught her how to do makeup and draw her eyebrows. This matter would not be forgotten. Therefore, he changed his methods every night and asked her seriously, "Your Highness, what do you think?"
This matter was funny, but he was not ashamed to ask and really tried to find a way out.
He could do more than ten kinds of makeup for Li Rong.
He could also give Li Rong the ultimate pleasure in the world with a kiss.
Su Yongqing had kissed her before. During the long snuggling, he fulfilled the duties of a person who slept beside her.
It was just that his kisses had always been reserved and restrained, just like the person he was and his feelings. It allowed people to always be clear-headed. All feelings were just feelings that were born.
The joy that Pei Wenxuan gave her was in addition to her own desires. No matter how strong her reason was, he could turn it into soft thoughts.
The moment he kissed her, Li Rong was a little shocked at first. However, it was only a short moment of absent-mindedness. Li Rong's entire mind collapsed. She only felt the joy that she had not felt in decades explode in her mind. She even lost the strength to push this person away.
It was not until Pei Wenxuan's lips moved down her neck and bit open the knot of her clothes. He raised his hand to pull open her belt that Li Rong finally became a little more clear-headed. She pressed Pei Wenxuan's hand down.
Both of them were panting heavily. Pei Wenxuan paused for a moment and slowly raised his head.
He had a smile on his face and a bit of pride in his eyes. He was suppressing the lust hidden in his heart.
"You …" Li Rong said in a hoarse voice, "What are you doing?"
Li Rong was not a fool. She did not believe that Pei Wenxuan wanted to "be friends" with her.
How could there be such a friend?
It was fine if he kissed and pulled her, but to be friends with her? Did he think she was a fool?!
What made her even angrier was that she knew that he had ulterior motives, but she still agreed!
She did not push him away in the first place!
Li Rong was angry with herself and Pei Wenxuan, so she glared at him.
Pei Wenxuan could see the wariness in Li Rong's eyes. She seemed to be afraid that he would kiss her again. Pei Wenxuan looked at Li Rong and thought about the reason for her wariness. He couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?"
Li Rong slowly raised her hand and pushed Pei Wenxuan. Pei Wenxuan fell back on the bed with her force and could not stop laughing. Li Rong grabbed a soft pillow and threw it at him. Pei Wenxuan hugged his head and let Li Rong hit him.
Li Rong knew that he was laughing at her loss of self-control. It was just a kiss, but she had completely forgotten about herself. Li Rong became angrier. She was angry at herself and Pei Wenxuan. She threw the pillow away and raised her hand to hit Pei Wenxuan. Pei Wenxuan hit her a few times and finally caught her hand. Li Rong glared at him. Pei Wenxuan supported himself and pulled her hand to his lips. After blowing it gently, he looked up at her and smiled. "Don't hit my hand that hurts."
"Pei Wenxuan!"
Li Rong shouted sternly, "How dare you!"
"Does Your Highness not like it?" Pei Wenxuan reclined on the bed and propped up his head. He looked at Li Rong with a smile. "I think Your Highness should be happy just now."
Li Rong sneered. "Imperial Censor Pei's skill in serving people is very good. How can I not be happy?"
"That's good." Pei Wenxuan smiled and looked at Li Rong. "If Your Highness wants this official to serve you, this official will be ready at any time."
Li Rong did not speak. She stared at Pei Wenxuan and saw that he was relaxed. After a long time, she finally gritted her teeth and said, "What's wrong with you?"
"This official heard that Lord Su had asked for Your Highness' hand in marriage."
Pei Wenxuan held Li Rong's hand and caressed it casually. His gaze fell on the place where Li Rong touched. He said slowly, "This official was afraid that Your Highness would be seduced by Assistant Minister Su's beauty, so I just wanted to remind Your Highness."
"Remind?" Li Rong sneered. "What kind of reminder is this?"
"Your Highness, if you just need someone by your side, Wenxuan is by your side." Pei Wenxuan looked up and his gaze fell on Li Rong. He said softly, "This official said that this official can give Your Highness anything you want."
Pei Wenxuan could not help but laugh and repeat Li Rong's words. "Including kissing you."
Li Rong did not speak. She looked into Pei Wenxuan's eyes.
Pei Wenxuan looked away and said slowly, "This official knows that Lord Su is special to Your Highness. His willingness to ask for Your Highness' hand in marriage is probably not a small shock to Your Highness. After all, it's been two lifetimes." Pei Wenxuan's voice was a bit low. "I'm afraid that Your Highness will regret not being able to marry him properly."
"Your Highness has admired him since you were young. Rong Qing wore white and there were no immortals in the world. Later on, we were together for a lifetime. Due to this official's lack of status, being able to marry Su Yongqing is also a long-cherished wish for Your Highness. However, Your Highness, it's not the right time now. "
Pei Wenxuan pushed aside the sleeves under his body and said carelessly, "If it was in the past, you and the Su Family did not have any conflicts of interest. If you two were together, it would be a good marriage. But now, you want to establish the Inspection Department and seize power from the aristocratic families. If he is willing to stand on Your Highness's side, your relationship will be mixed with power. This is not the Su Yongqing Your Highness wants. If he is not willing to stand on Your Highness's side, the marriage between Your Highness and him will be broken. What's more frightening is that if he wants to use Your Highness's friendship to seek benefits for himself, just like in the previous life. "Pei Wenxuan's tone was cold. He looked up at Li Rong." What will Your Highness do? "
Li Rong did not speak. She looked at Pei Wenxuan and said these words lightly. Pei Wenxuan saw that she did not respond and thought that he had spoken her mind. His eyes wandered and he changed his tone. "If Your Highness must choose someone, compared to Su Yongqing, Your Highness might as well choose me."
"Choose you?" Li Rong's tone was mocking.
"Is it not good?" Pei Wenxuan turned to look at Li Rong. "In terms of family background, although the Su Family is an aristocratic family, the Pei Family is also considered a prominent family. What the Su Family can give Your Highness, the Pei Family can also give Your Highness. Moreover, now that His Majesty is establishing the Inspection Department and is opposing the aristocratic families, the Pei Family will fully rely on him. It will be much easier to control than the Su Family. "
"And in terms of individuals," Pei Wenxuan raised his eyebrows. "How is this official inferior to him?"
"You're boring."
Li Rong saw that Pei Wenxuan was talking nonsense and was too lazy to continue talking to him. He turned around and lay down. With his back facing Pei Wenxuan, he said, "Sleep."
"Don't sleep." Pei Wenxuan saw that Li Rong did not respond and was somewhat dissatisfied. He reached out to pull Li Rong and wanted to turn Li Rong over. "How am I inferior to him? Tell me!"
Li Rong did not speak with his back to him. He covered his ears and did not want to pay attention to him. Pei Wenxuan was annoyed. He gritted his teeth and said, "In the Six Arts of Nobility, I am always first place every year. I'm not inferior to him. In terms of appearance, I'm also not inferior to him. In terms of temperament, he treats you better than me. He can't even ask you to marry him. What are you thinking about? "
"I'm not listening." Li Rong heard that he was angry and was somewhat happy. "Bastard, you're reciting scriptures."
"Li Rong, speak clearly." Pei Wenxuan turned her over and said angrily, "How am I inferior to him?"
"Then tell me." Li Rong suppressed his smile and pretended to be serious. "You're almost the same as him in every aspect. He's also from a noble family. How are you better than him?"
Pei Wenxuan was stunned for a moment. Li Rong sighed. "You can't say it, right? If you can't say it, then don't disturb me. I'm going to sleep. "
Li Rong finished speaking and fell down. Pei Wenxuan sat behind her for a while. Li Rong was afraid that he would go too far. He was about to say something to comfort him. Before he could speak, he heard Pei Wenxuan say, "But I dare to marry you."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Li Rong sat up in dissatisfaction. "Is marrying me a loss?"
"I dare to risk my life to marry you." Pei Wenxuan looked up at her seriously. "Does he dare?"
Li Rong heard this and suddenly froze. Pei Wenxuan quietly looked at her. "Li Rong, I took you back."
When he was still alone, he risked his life to overthrow the Yang Family and stir up the Imperial Court before marrying Her Highness.
"But he doesn't dare."
He obviously has a noble status and has power in his hands, but he doesn't dare.
Li Rong listened to these words and looked at the young man in front of him. He was like a lonely blade. From the past to the present, he had always moved forward by himself.
In fact, she knew.
She always knew that this man who climbed all the way to his position had the courage and ambition that was rare for a son of a noble family. Only with her, he had a little bit of youthful naivety.
"So," Li Rong stopped joking and smiled bitterly. "I married you."
"Pei Wenxuan, do you know?" Li Rong reached out and took his hand. "In fact, you're good at everything except for one thing."
"In your heart, you always feel that you're not good enough."
"When you praise yourself, you must have some achievements. You're the first in the Gentleman's Six Arts. You know everything. You're an official. You write well. You're talented. Even," Li Rong looked up and said with a faint smile, "your skills are good."
When Pei Wenxuan heard Li Rong's words, his face suddenly became hot. He pretended to be calm. "You can't talk nonsense. When I say that I'm good, I naturally have to have some reasons."
"But I don't think there's any need."
Li Rong said directly, "You're Pei Wenxuan. That's very good."
Pei Wenxuan's body stiffened. Li Rong continued, "You told me before that your mother always compares you to your father and other people. But let me tell you now. You don't need to compare yourself to anyone, especially Su Yongqing. "
"You're afraid that Su Yongqing will propose to me and I'll be tempted. I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, "Li Rong said calmly." I won't ruin my future for a man. "
Pei Wenxuan: "…"
"That's not what I meant …"
It's not impossible to ruin your future for a man, but it can only be him.
This answer flashed through Pei Wenxuan's mind, but he couldn't just say it out loud. He struggled to open his mouth and choose his words carefully, thinking about how to say it.
Li Rong looked up at him. Her eyes were clear and bright. She seemed to know everything, but she didn't want to mention it.
Pei Wenxuan fell silent. He didn't know whether he should say it or not. He didn't know whether he should break the silence.
He was afraid that if he said it, this person would push him away and they wouldn't even be friends.
But if he didn't say it, he was afraid that this person wouldn't understand.
He paused for a moment, and his eyes flashed past Li Rong's lips. After a moment, he smiled and said, "I know Your Highness is clear. I'm worried too much."
"Your Highness has other things to do tomorrow." Pei Wenxuan lay down. "Go to sleep."
Li Rong was also a little tired from dealing with him all night. She lay down. After a while, she felt someone pressing against her from behind.
Pei Wenxuan hugged her from behind. She tensed up and was always on guard against Pei Wenxuan's next move.
"Your Highness," Pei Wenxuan sensed her nervousness. He smiled and whispered in her ear, "We have plenty of time in the future."
Li Rong didn't say anything.
She thought it through. Pei Wenxuan, this old fox, was really going to make a move on her.
Bah.
Li Rong cursed inwardly. Beast.
