Chapter 165 Knocking on the Widow's Door at Night
Chu Wuji was sitting in the courtyard, enjoying the quietness of the snowy night. He was not trying to comprehend any state of mind, but simply chatting with the Sky Fox Goddess.
While they were still having the feast, the Sky Fox Queen wanted to complain several times, but she didn't want to disrupt her thoughts. Now was the time to let her have a chat.
Otherwise, she would go to possess a body to practice, and it would be boring.
After all, she is borrowing someone else's body, even if it is just Chu Wuji's mortal lover, Goddess Tianhu does not want to seize the control of the body all the time - except when helping Chu Wuji recuperate!
"The afterlife is still so lively! The variety of entertainment is far beyond what I experienced during my lifetime. It's so interesting!"
The snow-haired fox girl said happily, her animal ears twitching. She sat sideways in Chu Wuzhi's arms, her plump and beautiful body trembling and swaying.
Chu Wuji looked around to confirm that Princess Jing'an and the others were not nearby, because Empress Tianhu did not deliberately lower her voice at this moment, and people around could hear it.
He reminded awkwardly:
"Goddess Sky Fox, it's okay to just watch this kind of thing. After all, it's the family affair of someone close to you. It's not good to laugh so happily. It will make people sad..."
In the past, if Chu Wuji laughed loudly after eating at a big banquet at someone else's house, he would be afraid of being beaten!
But the Fox Goddess has no such concerns and can reason with others based on her strength.
"I'm not gloating, but I'm laughing at the reactions of the guests, especially those nasty relatives of the princess. I'm afraid their mood is as up and down as when they were hanging themselves~"
"Oh, so she was laughing at those people. That day, the Fox Queen could laugh as much as she wanted, as long as she didn't make fun of her own people!"
Chu Wuji relaxed and nodded in approval.
Even though the people in Prince Jing'an's Mansion are ordinary mortals, and in the eyes of those who possess great power, nobles are the same as common people, the princess and others still provided a place for the Sky Fox Queen to live!
They have already taken good care of Chu Wu Ji, and now they are lending their own bodies to the Heavenly Fox Goddess to maintain his energy and spirit and slow down the loss. They are even more benefactors!
Making fun of your own people can easily ruin your relationship.
"From what the young master said, are you suggesting that I shouldn't tease you?"
The fox girl's rhetorical question left Chu Wuji speechless. Could it be misinterpreted like this...
"It's alright for the Fox Queen to make fun of me." He nodded affirmatively, indicating that it was an exception.
"Why? Are you used to it?"
"I probably won't be able to get used to this. The Sky Fox Goddess has actually taken care of me and guided me a lot. I'm happy for her to have fun with me."
"I accidentally made the young master develop some strange habits. What should I do?" The fox girl looked panicked and blamed herself, but it was obvious that she was pretending.
Chu Wuji looked helpless. How did this become a special hobby?
But I didn't feel tired or bored at all. Just looking at the Sky Fox Queen's every smile and every expression was very interesting.
The most important thing is that she is charming and beautiful enough!
He said seriously, "To be honest, I'm only 'willing' to do this because the Sky Fox Goddess said, 'Every day you play games is a day you earn,' so naturally I have to put the Sky Fox Goddess's feelings first!"
The beautiful eyes of the Fox Goddess stared at the young man. Her jade hands first stroked his face, and then guided his big hand that was scratching his head to place it on her white and tender legs. The smooth and soft legs fell into Chu Wuzhi's palm, and his arms stiffened.
"My legs are cold, my dear, please warm them up by rubbing them."
...Isn't this a sudden change of topic?
Chu Wu Ji replied "Okay", and then tried hard to keep up with her thoughts.
Although it is to warm up this pair of long white legs, but in actual implementation... it seems to be just touching the thighs?
"Move to a warmer place, a little further inside~"
"Goddess Sky Fox, any further in it is no longer a leg..."
Chu Wuji was thinking about going back to get a few pairs of silk socks to use as thermal underwear.
I hope Hailan Home can design more new styles and not just stay in the original Western Region designs. I hope they can come up with some purple lace long johns, bags, hip butterfly pattern long johns, suspender white silk long johns, etc.
"Then my dear, don't just use your other hand to rest on your back and be lazy. Get up and work and help warm up the 'back seat' for me!"
The fox girl glanced at his other hand in person, her charming fox eyes staring straight into his eyes, coquettish and charming, yet unreasonable.
Silently signaling him to be more self-conscious and not make me guide him again.
"..."
Chu Wuji understood. As soon as he said "I'm happy to", she completely stopped hiding her feelings and started to tease him and have fun with him.
The Fox Goddess felt the warmth of her palm on the peach, curled her lips in satisfaction, and said softly:
"That's the right way. You have to do it this way from now on. Keep your hands busy and give me a good massage!"
Chu Wuji didn't dare to let her continue to play, he had to talk about something, and said:
"Ahem, continuing from the previous chapter, weren't there such bad customs and habits during the time when the Sky Fox Goddess was alive?
I feel like when something like this happens among humans, everyone who hears about it sighs and frowns."
Things like eating up the entire family are done under the pretext of righteousness and the trust of relatives to seize the interests of other families and bully the orphans and widows of other families who are helpless and helpless.
Except for those who have eaten up the family of others, it is difficult for normal people to be happy when hearing this. They are more likely to feel angry, indignant, and fearful.
The fist is hard!
"No, at that time, most of them were demon tribes. The number of people in a tribe was equivalent to its strength. Although there were small families, they basically raised children together as a tribe. The human race was similar at that time. There was no such thing as clan etiquette."
"Indeed, this way there will be fewer trivial matters, and the Sky Fox Queen will have less to worry about."
"Yeah, back then there were just fights and conflicts, not as many as there are now~ And there's so much to do here!"
"..."
Chu Wuji curled the corner of his mouth. The fun of a peerless strong man was not to strive for a high realm, but to eat melons and join in the fun everywhere.
He glanced at the sky and felt it was time to send Goddess Sky Fox back to rest.
As he was about to get up and leave, the touch of his hands made him unable to let go and he was reluctant to let it end. However, thinking of the spirit of the Sky Fox Goddess, he overcame his lingering desire for the touch.
The Fox Goddess had been observing his facial expressions and reactions, and caught the conflicted look on his face as he made a difficult decision.
She smiled proudly and said, "Is it comfortable enough to help me keep warm?"
"I didn't notice..."
Chu Wuji paused and stopped talking. If he tried to make an excuse, he would definitely be caught. So he turned to be honest:
"It's very good, as smooth and tender as tofu."
"Next time, take the initiative to help me keep warm. I won't remind you again~"
*
The Fox Goddess transformed back into a fox and hid in the crotch of Chu Wuji's robe.
Chu Wuji also wanted to find Queen Wen so that the Heavenly Fox Goddess could possess her and rest, but Queen Wen stayed in the princess's room and seemed to be planning to stay overnight.
"Yao'er is also in there. Let's see if we can call Queen Wen back to her room..."
As a last resort, Chu Wuji knocked on the door lightly.
He moved very quietly, but in the silence of the snowy night, the knocking on the door seemed especially loud.
This made Chu Wuji feel inexplicably guilty, worried that others would hear it. This was probably the same feeling he had when he knocked on the widow's door at night.
Before Princess Jing'an could reply, Yao'er's joyful voice came first:
"Brother, come in quickly~ I was just about to ask Sister Que to look for you!"
Chapter 166: You don’t want him to call you mother anymore?
Such a big thing happened at the banquet. Chu Wuji knew that he should comfort Princess Jing'an, but he didn't know what words to use.
There should be more written words for this kind of situation, but unfortunately it was Chu Wuji's first time to "act evil" at someone else's memorial service and he had no relevant experience.
Just a light sentence of "I'm sorry for frightening the princess" seemed too perfunctory and sloppy.
Perfunctory comfort feels worse than no comfort at all.
However, you can use Yaoer as an entry point to warm up the atmosphere!
Chu Wuji walked towards the bottom of the bed and picked up a chair when passing by the coffee table so that he could sit down beside the bed.
Queen Wen patted the seat in front of her and said with a smile: "Just sit down, why do you need a stool?"
Princess Jing'an was not as straightforward as her sister, the Queen. She took a detour and said politely:
"Yao'er is probably thinking about getting into your arms, Wuji. If you don't sit on the bed, she'll have to run out of the quilt and get cold. Come on up!"
After the dignified and intellectual widow princess finished speaking, the queen, as her elder sister, first glanced at her sister-in-law in surprise, but did not look at her too obviously.
As a wealthy and noble lady, and sitting in the main palace, you can choose not to calculate others, but you cannot be without scheming and sense of smell, otherwise it will easily cause problems.
When it comes to various banquets and gatherings, if you lack this kind of sense of scheming, it is easy to fail to hear the atmosphere and direction of the wind, and then you will self-righteously say rude words and do stupid things that will damage the family reputation.
Princess Jing'an just used Xiao Yao'er as an excuse to coax the straightforward Chu Wuzhi into bed, right?
If it was a normal invitation, Chu Wuji would probably say "It's the same if I sit on a chair", but once the princess said this, Chu Wuji basically would not refuse anymore and would take the initiative to get on the bed.
——Of course, it is true that Yaoer would snuggle into his arms.
"Brother, sit closer~" The little princess poked her head out and looked at him eagerly.
Chu Wuji also felt that Princess Jing'an's words made sense. He put the chair back to its original place and immediately asked:
"Where are you going to sit? Who are you facing?"
Princess Jing'an and Queen Wen sat on the left and right sides of the bed, facing each other. If Chu Wuji sat down on the bed together, he would be facing one person with his back to the other.
This doesn't seem good.
Queen Wen rolled her eyes in annoyance. She was actually amused by him. No wonder the princess used Yao'er as an excuse!
"Wu Ji, do you think this is officialdom? To whom are you leaning, turning your back, and secretly expressing your loyalty?"
The Fox Goddess laughed secretly and said, "No wonder the Queen of this country was forced into that state by you~"
The fox girl was very pleased, thinking that the big show in the mourning hall was over, but there was actually this fragrant show in the boudoir!
The princess smiled, patted the seat near the inside, and then virtuously approached Chu Wuji, helping him take off his shoes and socks, while saying:
"Wuji, you have so many considerations, and you also have to consider the direction, then sit cross-legged."
Chu Wuji seemed to have suffered an invisible attack and was pushed onto the bed to sit down in a daze. He immediately felt surrounded by the rich fragrance of the beautiful woman.
Wen Yaoer jumped out of the quilt like a little rabbit out of its nest, and threw herself into his arms, her slender pink arms hugging his chest.
Chu Wuji then discovered that the girl was wearing a white cat bellyband, her face was about to bloom, pink, tender and delicate. Thanks to the inheritance of Princess Jing'an, Yao'er's size was actually quite impressive, even surpassing her peers by several times.
It's just that her clothes are usually loose and her face is young, so people unconsciously overlook this point and subconsciously regard her as a little girl.
Of course, compared with her two mature and plump elders, Yao'er is indeed a few years behind in terms of maturity.
"Brother's arms are still warm! I don't feel cold even if my hands are exposed outside the quilt~"
Chu Wuji put his hand outside the quilt and asked, "You just said you wanted to see me, what's the matter?"
"Where is the Sky Fox Queen? Yao'er wants her ears."
The fox girl smiled and crawled into the little girl's body. Princess Yaoer found that her animal ears were back and she was very happy. She stopped making noise and played with her ears.
Queen Wen lightly hit Yao'er through the thick quilt and scolded her with a smile:
"Your mother and I were worried that you were frightened and couldn't sleep well, Yao'er. It turns out that there's nothing wrong, but you're just worried about Fox Ears!"
The atmosphere under the bed became relaxed.
Chu Wuji also tried to talk about what happened today. He looked at Princess Jing'an apologetically and said:
"Today, I acted on my own initiative and let my temper take over, causing such a farce and bringing shame to the princess. I apologize for that!"
Princess Jing'an rolled her eyes at him, feeling that he was acting without authorization.
Chu Wuzhi's tone gave her the feeling that he was saying: Apologies are apologies, but if they do it again, I will hang them again!
Princess Jing'an had indeed not anticipated what happened today. Later, when she saw him with a dark face at the dinner table, she had guessed that he would scold the Li family.
But who would have thought that Chu Wuzhi would directly catch those people and "fly kites"?
