Ch25 - Eating Vinegar (Being Jealous)

“Tomorrow Ben Wang will be going to present the petition to Imperial Father, however, don’t get your hopes up.” Jing Shao looked at the color of the sky, the time to accompany his Wang Fei to eat their meal had come. Thus he put down the teacup and rose, preparing to leave.

“Wang Ye’s big kindness and virtue, this daughter thanks you on behalf of me and all my clansmen in advance.” Ge Ruoyi kneeled down onto the floor with a “putong” sound and kowtowed for Jing Shao.

Jing Shao sighed, turned around and walked out. The Southeast King, in the end was just the local tyrant of the Southeast, their Great Ancestor gave that piece of feudal land in the Southeast to him, as a vassal, and gave him total authority and control. Even if the Ge Family had an even bigger injustice done unto them, according to the important matters in the current situation, his Imperial Father would suppress this matter. But the things one had to do, one still had to do, the information that could be used against the Southeast King, although they couldn’t use it for a short while yet, in the future they’d definitely be able to make use of it. Right now he would report it to his Imperial Father, as it was also considered a meritorious service.

These few days copying books, Mu Hanzhang would often forget the time, thus Jing Shao first headed to the study to find him. There was not a soul in sight in the study, just a half finished copied book on the table, being blown by the wind creating “huahua” sounds. Jing Shao walked in to close up the book and put it away, turning his head seeing that below the table were several balls of paper, picked one up to see, there weren’t any words on it, just three big ink blots. He couldn’t help but break into laughter, surely Jun Qing copying books for so long had also gotten vexed. Tomorrow he had better copy them himself and let Mu Hanzhang go play for a day.

“Where is the Wang Fei?” Even when Jing Shao arrived in front of the dining table, he still didn’t see a trace of his Wang Fei.

“Responding to Wang Ye, Wang Fei said he didn’t have an appetite, so returned to the bedroom first.” Yun Zhu answered honestly, not responding with the excuse Mu Hanzhang had told him to give. In Yun Zhu, this youngster’s heart, the gentle Wang Fei was clearly already very deeply hurt, still wanting him to make up a pretense to urge Wang Ye to eat first, in this world, who had this kind of logic?

“No appetite?” Jing Shao frowned, turned and walked towards the bedroom. Jun Qing always came to eat on time, suddenly not having an appetite, could it be that he was ill?

The bedroom in the alternate residence comprised of a bedroom and a rear garden, the hot spring pool built with white marble occupied a majority of the entire courtyard. A winding path of flowing water extended underground, spilling out of the thousand layer lotus carved from green jade. This hot spring pool was Jing Shao’s most favorite place in the whole villa. There was a special person in charge of switching out all the plants on the vacant land next to the pool every season to the flowers and plants in season. Nowadays several short peach trees currently in bloom were planted.

Mu Hanzhang was resting the top half of his body on the side of the pool, reaching out his hand catching the peach blossom petals slowly floating down. His smooth and snowy back was revealed above the surface of the water, the dense mist lingering on it, making it seem as if he were really out of a fantasy. The sparkling and translucent water droplets flowing along his outstretched fingertips, streaking across the red of the hollow of his palm, taking along with it a pink colored flower petal, falling into the pool together.

Withered flowers falling into water, the falling flowers yearning for love, but the heartless brook rippling on, what could one hope to do…

“Ah!” Mu Hanzhang cried out in alarm, until he saw clearly who it was, and then couldn’t help but sigh, “Wang Ye, why haven’t you gone to eat dinner?”

“That’s what I should be asking you,” Jing Shao didn’t let go of the person in his arms. Because of the water, the skin under his hands was exceptionally smooth and tender, he couldn’t help but covertly grope a couple of times, “Is your body feeling uncomfortable?”

Mu Hanzhang smoothed his lips, softly pushing away the Jing Shao who was moving closer and closer: “Chen is fine.”

“Still saying that you’re fine,” Jing Shao reached out and gathered the person up again, and placed a kiss on his tightly pursed lips, “I know you aren’t happy, didn’t Xiao Yuan’s wife invite you to go to the gardens in the south of the city tomorrow? Tomorrow you just focus on having fun, and I’ll copy that book.”

Mu Hanzhang raised his head and looked at the Jing Shao with a smiling expression in his eyes, even if this gentle expression was real, it also wasn’t likely that it was like this for him alone. Lowering his head watching the surface of the water diffusing vapor everywhere, he didn’t say anything. The peach blossom petals that fell into the water floated in the water along the ripples, making circles, then slowly sunk into the depths of the pool.

Jing Shao scratched his head, not knowing what had happened to him: “Jun Qing, if you ever have any difficulties, do not hesitate to tell me…”

Mu Hanzhang smoothed his lips, then sucked in a deep breath: “Today, that maiden… is Wang Ye planning to bestow the title of concubine upon her or…” saying it like this, that kind of aching feeling emerged again, and he couldn’t help but slightly knit his brows.

Jing Shao stared blankly for a long time, and only then did he react, his family’s Wang Fei was… eating vinegar? With one movement he grabbed the still broken-hearted person, fiercely kissing onto his lightly-colored lips.

“Wu…” Mu Hanzhang didn’t resist much at the beginning, but when a wet and slippery thing reached into his mouth, he couldn’t help but reach out his hands to push at him, but against his expectations, he was hugged even tighter, and that hand behind him had begun to slowly caress his waist and thigh area lightly, kneading and pinching.

After the lengthy kiss, Mu Hanzhang was somewhat unable to breathe, and leaned against Jing Shao’s shoulders gasping for breath.

Jing Shao sucked in a deep breath of air, he sat down in the water hugging Mu Hanzhang, lightly stroking the back of the person in his embrace, helping him even out his breathing. “Ge Ruoyi, she…” feeling that the person in his arms’ body stiffened, he couldn’t help but hook up his lips, lightly biting his earlobe that had become pink from the warm steam, “She is a young lady from an aristocratic family of merchants in the Southeast fiefdom. The Southeast King took a fancy towards the eldest son of the first wife in the Ge family, wanting to snatch him and make him a beautiful pampered pet. In the middle, something happened that I’m not clear about. Anyway, in the end, the Southeast King murdered the entire Ge clan, and that man, who was also Ge Ruoyi’s brother, couldn’t bear the humiliation and also died.”

“She really just came here to lodge a complaint of great injustice?” Mu Hanzhang lifted his head to look at him.

“Naturally, this woman is very useful, I can’t let her land in the hands of the Fourth Prince,” Jing Shao frowned, tricking Ge Ruoyi with the so-called being old friends with the deceased was just an excuse to set the field for the future plans. Here with Jun Qing, naturally he was not able to make much sense, not knowing how to explain properly, just planned to not say too much, “In any case, you don’t have to think of these things. In the future, I won’t be taking anymore concubines, and moreso, I won’t be taking another Secondary Wife.”

Lowering his head to look at the person in his arms, that pair of beautiful and dark eyes, when hearing this sentence, suddenly widened: “You still haven’t had an heir, how could you say these kind of words?”

Jing Shao smiled and looked at him: “I’ve already married a male wife, having or not having an heir wasn’t important in the first place, moreover, ever since I saw you, all other people have become unpleasing to the eye.”

“Xiao Shao… you…” Mu Hanzhang looked at him in astonishment, a prince who unexpectedly didn’t want heirs! Wasn’t he making clear his true feelings to him? The painful bitterness in his heart was immediately replaced by sweet thoughts, he slowly put his chin onto Jing Shao’s shoulder, “I… I also…” I also feel the same! I also like you! In the end, this sentence, he didn’t have the bravery to say them out loud.

But Jing Shao understood the words his Wang Fei had not finished saying, lowering his head, he deeply kissed the reddened lips. This time, Mu Hanzhang did not resist, instead slightly opening his mouth, letting him in. Jing Shao was naturally not going to turn his back on such a satisfactory meaning, hooking the soft tongue in his mouth he intertwined them, one hand caressing the neck of the person in his arms, the other slowly pinching and kneading down from his shoulder, until he finally slide onto his chest, pinching one small bean in the water, lightly pressing and rubbing at it.

“Wu…” Mu Hanzhang was aroused until he began to tremble, almost biting down on Jing Shao’s tongue. Jing Shao lightly laughed, seizing one of his legs, he had Mu Hanzhang face him, with himself straddled between Mu Hanzhang’s two legs.

When soaking in a hot spring, there is no need for a single thread of silk, now in this kind of position, it caused the head of Jun Qing’s slightly raising cock and the lively and full of excitement member of Xiao Shao to stick to each other. Jing Shao drew his bashful, blushing with shame Wang Fei closer to him, enabling the two organs to become familiar and greet each other.

“En…” Mu Hanzhang’s moan was smothered, but his dick which had been bumped against became completely spirited.

Jing Shao pulled a lustrous and slender hand that was moistened with water over, holding their hands together, wrapping them around the two at the same time, lowering his head to suck in a little bean that was already flushed from all the pinching and kneading, sucking while rolling and nipping it.

“Ah~” With both his chest and down there being attended to at the same time, Mu Hanzhang couldn’t help but tilt back his head. When Jing Shao suddenly increased the speed of the movements of their hands, he was somewhat unable to endure and threw back his head. Sparkling water droplets were flung into the water, following along his wet hair, truly indescribably captivating.

Mist permeated the entire hot spring pool, for a moment, all that was left was the murmuring sound of flowing water and the occasional gasps and moans that overflowed. In the second month of spring, the peach blossom petals floated down carefreely with the wind, stirring up circles and circles of thin ripples, causing the pool of spring water to blush red.
