Chapter 23: Being Flexible With Your Husband (6)
Translator: Sissy That Walk
I told the inner-palace servant to bring Yang Yan in. In a moment, Yang Yan came in the palace from outside like a gust of wind. At the sight of Lin shi sitting on the honorable seat, he was stunned, turning his relaxed and pleasant look into a serious one. Yang Yan greeted me reverently and then he picked the seat farthest from Lin shi.
Lin shi took the opportunity to say goodbye. And I asked Lv Li to walk her out.
After Lin shi walked out of the door, Yang Yan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his hand and cried out, “Wow! What is this tigress doing here? I was almost scared to death by her!”
I asked Yang Yan with curiosity, “Why are you so afraid of her?”
Yang Yan said in a shocking voice, “Well, you haven’t seen how fierce this tigress can be. She was seriously trying to beat He Liangchen to death. There was one time that she even chased him to my home, it scared the hell out of me. From then on, I swore that I would rather to become a monk than marrying a woman like her.”
I listened to what Yang Yan said with deep feelings and immediately changed my impression of him. With the understanding and consciousness like this, he would not be a man who was too dumb.
Right after this thought came into my mind, I suddenly heard Yang Yan whisper to me, “Well, did you… did you really get whipped?
I became speechless at once, secretly sighing what a straightforward boy he was, so straightforward that it bordered on one-track minded..
As there were other maids and inner-palace servants waiting for orders in the palace, I had to send all of them out. Before I got the chance to talk to Yang Yan, Yang Yan leaned forward and asked, “So, it is true? He cannot be counted as man. And you were being silly too. I told you to take refuge in the Empress Dowager’s place, but you just didn’t listen to me.”
I put on a grave face and said nothing.
Yang Yan put his hand into his clothes and fished around. Then he handed over a small white porcelain bottle, “Well, my ninth brother asked me to give it to you, he said there won’t be any scars left after using this.”
I took the porcelain bottle over and casually put it on the table.
Yang Yan said again, “You should use a little more of this. If you can get better soon enough, there is still enough time for us to go to the villa palace for a summer holiday.”
I had ever heard about the arrangement of going to the palace for summer holiday, but I was not planning to join anyway. Getting together with the Emperor, the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty the Empress usually meant chaotic bustling. I was better off shutting the door of my palace and playing with a group of beautiful girls in the cool water alone.
When I was secretly thinking about that in my mind, I saw Yang Yan staring at my face, and from time to time his eyes would travel down my neck as if he was hoping to pull my collar and to take a look at what it was like inside.
Holy gosh! Though I was a lecherous man before, but I had not been as bold as him. Maybe this man left his intelligence quotient at home when he went out, now all he was carrying with him was courage.
Yang Yan suddenly sneaked up towards me and said with a despicable laugh, “Well, Qi Sheng is really good at whipping, it is unexpected that your skin exposed outside escaped the whipping! If it weren’t for the smell of medicine in this room, I couldn’t believe you had been whipped!”
I was so annoyed that I wanted to change my expression and throw a temper at once. I used to think of Qi Sheng as an idiot, but I didn’t expect Yang Yan to be the dumbest of all the idiots!
Perhaps Yang Yan saw the annoyance in my eyes, so he quickly sat back and laughed, saying “Don’t you worry, Jiang shi is thousands of times more miserable than you. I am afraid she hasn’t woken up yet. It was a surprise that Qi Sheng restrained himself from slapping your face. It shows that he has really made a lot of progress in mental growth!”
I wanted to punch him. Suddenly realizing the fact that I had just been “whipped” last nightand no way should I move as agilely as before. I then forced myself to let him go this time, sitting on the seat without changing my position for a long time.
Yang Yan looked away from my face. He looked slightly disappointed, but it passed by in a flash, and then he put on a dandiacal smile. He made an obeisance by cupping one hand in the other before his chest and laughed, “I have to go now. See you again in the villa palace in a few days!”
I asked Lv Li to see off the guest, but I was still sitting on the chair without moving a bit.
Lv Li sent Yang Yan out and brought in a new job, the maid who was serving Her Majesty the Empress.
