Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 827 Tonight, Feiyan won't do any heavy physical labor. [Thank you! Thank you again! 7k words owed]

night.

The moon is bright in the sky and there are stars.

A maidservant carrying a basin of water came out of the room, which was lit by candles.

"Wow!"

The water in the basin was splashed onto the side of the culvert.

"Ding ding! It's past 9 PM!"

The watchman's chime could be faintly heard.

Hearing the time signal, the maid looked up at the night sky while holding the wooden basin.

The maid was quite emotional as she followed her daughter away from the Rong family, where she had lived for many years.

Looking at the twinkling stars, the maid's lips curled into a slight smile.

As she was about to go back inside, she saw someone carrying a lantern walk in through the courtyard gate.

Upon recognizing the person, the maidservant hurriedly announced, "My lord has returned."

inside the house,

As she was removing Rong Feiyan's hairpins and ornaments, Xiaobu looked down and exchanged a glance with her young mistress.

Looking down at her clothes, Rong Feiyan said, "Give me a thin jacket."

"Yes."

As Rong Feiyan walked into the outer room with her jacket closed, Xu Zaijing happened to enter the room.

"Sniff."

Rong Feiyan twitched her delicate nose and said softly, "My lord, have you been drinking?"

"Hmm." Xu Zaijing nodded with a smile: "A few old friends came back to the capital today, but they rushed back and missed our wedding. So we held a banquet at Fanlou this afternoon to entertain them."

As they were talking, Rong Feiyan walked over to Xu Zaijing and reached out to help him take off his coat.

"Then, my lord, please take a bath. Ningxiang, add some hot water to the bathtub."

"No need!" Xu Zaijing waved his hand and said, "Your husband isn't that precious. Just rinse him with cold water."

Rong Feiyan looked at Xu Zaijing by candlelight and shook her head, saying, "My lord, it's too late. Drinking cold water is not good for your health."

As she spoke, Rong Feiyan tiptoed and reached out to touch Xu Zaijing's temple: "There's dust in your hair."

Xu Zaijing smiled and said, "It was dropped when I went to the camp this afternoon."

Rong Feiyan looked at Xu Zaijing and nodded with a smile. Then Rong Feiyan noticed that Xu Zaijing's gaze was peering into her clothes.

It turned out that Rong Feiyan had tiptoed and reached out, causing the wide sleeves of her jacket to slip down naturally, revealing her arms with some marks.

This movement also brought Rong Feiyan's chest closer to Xu Zaijing's.

Rong Feiyan was about to take a step back when she felt a tightness around her waist and was pulled into Xu Zaijing's arms.

Seeing Xu Zaijing's face getting closer, Rong Feiyan resignedly closed her eyes.

"Girl, water."

The sound of soft footsteps could be heard.

Rong Feiyan quickly opened her eyes and lowered her head.

"Ahem. I'm going to take a bath," Xu Zaijing said, looking at the shy Rong Feiyan.

Before Rong Feiyan could nod, she found that Xu Zaijing had grabbed her wrist.

"My wife, come too." Xu Zaijing glanced at Xibu, who was pursing her lips, and changed his words, "You come and help me too."

Side room.

Behind the screen,
"Shh."

Xu Zaijing took off his clothes and stood naked beside the bathtub.

Looking to the side, I found that Rong Feiyan had already turned her back to me.

"Wow."

The sound of Xu Zaijing stepping into the bathtub could be heard.

"Young lady, you've seen my entire body."

Upon hearing this, Rong Feiyan immediately looked over, her eyes filled with shame and anger.

Standing outside the screen, he could see Rong Feiyan's delicate steps, and his face was full of disbelief.

After exchanging a glance with Rong Feiyan, he carefully understood what his young lady meant: before marriage, Xu Zaijing was a very polite and modest gentleman when he was out in public.

But after getting married, why is he so flamboyant?
"give it to me."

Rong Feiyan reached out and took the bathing supplies from Xi Bu's hands, then walked towards the bath tub.

As soon as Rong Feiyan reached the bathtub, she saw Xu Zaijing looking at her with a smile that was both ambiguous and pointed at the corner of his mouth.

After glancing at Rong Feiyan's attire, Xu Zaijing turned back and shook his head, seemingly rejecting a certain idea.

Subsequently,

Rong Feiyan stood by the bathtub, helping Xu Zaijing wash his hair.

By candlelight, looking at the scratches on Xu Zaijing's back and the teeth marks on his shoulder, Rong Feiyan felt her face flush again.

A quarter of an hour later,
In front of the dressing table,

"Miss, shall I do it?" Ningxiang said to Rong Feiyan, who was frowning as she wiped Xu Zaijing's hair.

Rong Feiyan gently shook her head.

Seeing this, Ningxiang stepped aside.

After drying her hair, Rong Feiyan took a comb and slowly combed Xu Zaijing's hair.

"hiss."

Rong Feiyan, standing next to Xu Zaijing, frowned and gasped.

Xu Zaijing, whose hands were wandering around Rong Feiyan's waist, immediately stopped.

Seeing Rong Feiyan's furrowed brows, Xu Zaijing quickly moved his hand away.

After a while.

Looking at Xu Zaijing and the other person sitting by the bed, she said softly, "Sleep well, my lord, sleep well, my lady."

After speaking, Xi Bu and Ning Xiang bowed and withdrew.

The bedroom fell silent.

Feeling Xu Zaijing's gaze beside her, Rong Feiyan didn't dare to lift her head and whispered, "My lord, what's wrong?"

As she looked down, Rong Feiyan's gaze unconsciously swept across the room and she noticed a significant change in someone.

Upon seeing this, Rong Feiyan was so frightened that she quickly turned her head to look elsewhere.

"It's nothing. Do your back and legs still hurt?" Xu Zaijing asked.

"Yes." Rong Feiyan nodded.

"I went a bit too far last night."

Listening to Xu Zaijing's words, Rong Feiyan bit her lip lightly.

"Go to sleep."

"Oh."

After a flustered response, Rong Feiyan hurriedly lifted her legs onto the bed. The curve of her thighs during the movement made Xu Zaijing's breathing quicken several times.

Xu Zaijing also got into bed, and then lowered and closed the bed curtains on both sides.

"I don't want you to tire yourself out tonight."

"." (Eight hundred words omitted here.)
"Boom! Boom!"

Hearing the strong heartbeat beside her, Rong Feiyan, who didn't know how she fell asleep last night, opened her eyes blankly.

All I could see was darkness.

A faint, dim light could be seen at the point where the bed curtains on both sides were closed.

Only then did Rong Feiyan realize that she was lying on top of Xu Zaijing, her cheek pressed against his chest.

Thinking about what happened last night, Rong Feiyan wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Xu Zaijing kept his word and didn't let Rong Feiyan get tired last night, because Rong Feiyan had been lying on Xu Zaijing's chest the whole time.

No need to support yourself, no need to stand, and no need to struggle to hug Xu Zaijing's neck; just rest your head on Xu Zaijing's chest.

Thinking about all this, Rong Feiyan smoothed her hair down her cheek.

Suddenly, Rong Feiyan felt something rapidly changing beside her thigh, and she quickly closed her eyes.

"Puff! Puff!"

Although Rong Feiyan was a slender branch bearing a large fruit, the thick layer of fat made Xu Zaijing feel quite comfortable.

But Xu Zaijing could still hear her heart pounding like a drum, so he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hmph."

Rong Feiyan, still nestled against Xu Zaijing's chest, quickly closed her eyes, pretended to be asleep, and brought her hands to her face to cover her cheeks.

This action caused a few strands of hair to slip down and fall in front of Rong Feiyan's nose.

At first, Rong Feiyan's black hair in front of her nose was blown by her gentle breath, fluttering from time to time.

Gradually, the frequency of her black hair swaying increased, and the amplitude of the swaying also increased.

"Snapped."

A crisp clapping sound rang out.

"."

"Brother Xu Wu. Ugh—!"

"."

"Ugh--"

A sigh of relief.

A moment later, the bed curtains were parted from the inside.

After getting out of bed, Xu Zaijing closed the bed curtains again.

Hearing the noise, Ningxiang blushed and lowered her head, carrying a candle as she came in to help Xu Zaijing get dressed.

I just put on a close-fitting outfit.

"hiss."

Xu Zaijing gasped.

Hearing this commotion, Ningxiang looked at Xu Zaijing blankly.

Xu Zaijing felt the pain from the bite on his chest, shook his head at Ningxiang, indicating that it was none of her business.

Inside the bed curtains,
Rong Feiyan, who was lying helplessly on the bed, heard Xu Zaijing gasp for breath. While savoring the taste of blood between her lips and teeth, she pulled the thin blanket over her face.

After covering herself up, Rong Feiyan couldn't help but touch her waist and hips again.

Soon, Xu Zaijing left the room.

"Serves you right! Who told you to hit me so hard!"

Rong Feiyan's muffled voice came from behind.

It's bright.

She walked carefully into the room to help Rong Feiyan get up.

Using the daylight streaming through the window paper, she carefully collected Rong Feiyan's undergarments into the basket.

There were only the three of them, the mistress and her servant, inside the room. Ningxiang, who was holding the new clothes, glanced at Rong Feiyan and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Thank goodness! Miss, you didn't get any new injuries this morning."

Rong Feiyan frowned slightly and remained silent.

As Xi Bu took the new clothes from Ning Xiang's hands and helped Rong Feiyan put them on, she noticed the red marks on Rong Feiyan's waist and hips.

"This," Xi Bu frowned and looked at Rong Feiyan: "Miss, the lord is too heartless."

Rong Feiyan still frowned: "It's alright, I'll go back now."

"Give it, give it back?" Ningxiang repeated blankly.

Before she knew it, it was time for Rong Feiyan to return to her parents' home after three days.

On this day,

In the afternoon, inside the imperial city, in Consort Rong's bedroom.

Consort Rong sat in her chair, gently fanning herself with a round fan, and watched with a smile her children playing on the carpet not far away.

During this time, Consort Rong would occasionally glance outside the palace, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Before Consort Rong could go to see her two children, the bamboo curtain at the palace entrance was lifted from the outside.

The female official, with a slight sheen of sweat at her temples, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this servant has returned."

Consort Rong rose and took a few steps, then hurriedly asked, "How did Feiyan's return home today go?"

The female official approached Consort Rong and replied with a smile, "Your Majesty, rest assured, everything went smoothly today as the Prince and Miss Feiyan returned to their parents' home."

"I've seen the list of gifts to take to the Rong family, and it's more than 20% less than the gifts to take to the Chai family."

Consort Rong, holding a round fan, said, "That's to be expected, after all, Fei Yan is a concubine."

As she spoke, Consort Rong continued to look at the female official.

Knowing what Consort Rong wanted to ask, the female official quickly replied, "Your Highness, I have already inquired about the process of meeting her parents-in-law. Miss Feiyan served tea to the Chai family's daughter."

"But instead of serving tea to the Duke and his wife, they were offered jujubes and chestnuts, similar to those served to the Chai family's daughter. The only difference was that the bowls and plates were smaller than those for the Chai family's daughter."

"Ah?" Consort Rong looked surprised: "How did this come about?"

The lady-in-waiting echoed, "Your Majesty, I was also quite surprised when I heard about this."

After thinking for a moment, Consort Rong smiled and said, "You repay me with kindness. The Chai family's daughter certainly has the mindset of a first wife."

"Then you..." Upon hearing Consort Rong's words, the lady-in-waiting said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. According to Xi Bu, Miss Fei Yan understands the reasoning very well."

"Hmm!" Consort Rong nodded, her eyes fixed on the personal female official standing in front of her.

The female official glanced at the young prince and princess not far away.

Consort Rong glanced at it as well, then walked a few steps to the other side with the female official.

She pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I have inquired about matters of marital relations."

Consort Rong nodded and waited for what was to come.

The lady-in-waiting whispered, "According to Xibu, Miss Feiyan and her husband are very well-matched!"

Consort Rong smiled upon hearing this, and said with a hint of pride, "Putting aside everything else, Fei Yan's figure and appearance are even more outstanding than mine when I was young. In that case, I can rest assured."

After speaking, Consort Rong frowned as she looked at the female official who was nodding but had an embarrassed expression. "What's wrong? Is there something you can't say?"

The lady-in-waiting took a deep breath: "Your Highness, you are absolutely right. Miss Feiyan has fair skin and a graceful figure! But let me tell you more..."

"I've heard that the young lady is completely at the mercy of the young master in bed! I've also heard a little about the young master's health! I'm a little worried about the young lady's health."

Upon hearing this, Consort Rong frowned and said, "Explain in detail."

"Yes, Your Highness! Tell me in detail that the young lady's chest, waist, hips, upper arms, and thighs are covered with various red marks from being pinched and scratched."

"Moreover, today I noticed that the young master looked very satisfied and was in excellent spirits, while the young lady had dark circles under her eyes and looked listless. It's obvious that the young master has been demanding too much."

"And so, the son-in-law continued to get up early every morning to exercise for more than an hour."

Upon hearing this, Consort Rong showed no embarrassment, but sighed with concern: "Tsk! This! By the way, did Fei Yan tell you that she's tired of marital relations?"

The female official shook her head: "When I mentioned this matter, I noticed that Miss Feiyan's eyes were filled with a seductive charm, and she did not show any sign of annoyance."

Consort Rong breathed a sigh of relief: "So, the red marks on Fei Yan's body were just from their lovemaking."

The lady-in-waiting nodded in agreement: "Yes, Your Highness, I heard from Xibu that the young master also has quite a few marks on his body."

The lady-in-waiting added, "Your Highness, please don't worry too much! Before returning to the palace, I specifically instructed Xibu to prepare more ingredients to help Miss Feiyan recover! Miss Feiyan is in the prime of her youth, and she is recovering quickly."

Hearing the lady-in-waiting's words, Consort Rong nodded slowly: "Tomorrow, have someone tell Feiyan not to confine her husband to her room just because she is pretty."

"To be honest, the Chai family girl's actions were very generous and respectful."

After Rongfei finished speaking, she looked at the female official's expression and frowned, asking, "What is it?"

“Your Highness, I also mentioned this to Miss Feiyan, but Miss Feiyan said that she wanted the Prince to go to Miss Chai’s room the next day.”

"Coco Chai's daughter couldn't take it anymore and pushed him back into her room."

Consort Rong sighed and raised her fan, rubbing it between her brows. After a moment's thought, she said, "Isn't there a pair of maids in Lord Feiyan's courtyard, given to him by the Marquis of Xiangyang? I heard they haven't been taken into his room yet?"

"No," the female official shook her head.

Consort Rong said, "Tell Feiyan that once the Sheng family's daughter enters the family, the three of them should discuss it."

"I won't go into the details of their intimate life! When the Sheng family's daughter enters the family in a few days, she should follow the same etiquette as Feiyan."

The female official said, "Your Highness, with you and His Highness the young prince, how can Fei Yan, a concubine's daughter of the Sheng family, possibly fare any better?"

Seeing Consort Rong's expression, the female official quickly stopped talking.

"The Sheng family's daughter's grandmother is an elder of the Xu family, her elder brother is a top scholar, and her younger brother has a promising future. How can she not be chosen?"
