Her mouth was just like fine velvet, letting him feel a pleasure that could cause him to die at any moment. Countless groans emitted from his mouth and his underbelly grew hotter and hotter as if it had been seized by a living flame. He couldn’t help but to straighten his back. Grabbing her head, he thrust back and forth. Amidst his rapid breaths, the fire in his underbelly finally found an exit and violently surged out.
For the first time in his life, Xuanyuan Min Zhi finally tasted the flavor of love. Immediately letting out a pleasured yell, he hugged her head and maintained this position for a very long time. It was only after he felt the resistance of the woman kneeling on the ground that he finally extracted himself.
“So good.” His expression incomparably pleased, he exhaled a long breath and grabbed an article of clothing on the side to wipe her face.
Ruan Zhu’s sore mouth ached and her entire body was limp. Fortunately, she had become accustomed to doing this sort of thing, but he was too terrifyingly big and made it hard for her to manage. Her body suddenly became light–Xuanyuan Min Zhi had lifted her by her waist and in the next moment, secured her lips.
While he kissed her, his eyes roamed, and upon chancing on the two pink buds on her chest, his lips moved downwards and sucked on one of them. Gently inhaling, a sweet and incomparably fragrant milk entered his mouth. Eyes full of love, he swallowed it all and seemed to have become addicted, as after he had finished eating from one side, he then moved on to the next.
She was still clutching onto his head, continuously mewling out nn‘s and ahh‘s in response.
Xuanyuan Min Zhi horizontally carried his beloved woman while he stood in the middle of the room, plundering the beauty that was considered his.
Why were men always so fond of doing this? She had left her children for over ten days and no longer provided any milk for her children. If it wasn’t for being sucked here and there by Yun Shi Yi, her milk would have normally already stopped. But towards her husbands’ actions, she felt joy from the bottom of her heart as it proved their relationship was like one of conjoined people, where they blended into each other.
She extended an arm to hug his head. Feeling his hairpin, she pulled it out, and the man’s long pitch-black hair draped down……His original cocky appearance now had a bit of a wild and sexy charm.
Xuanyuan Min Zhi carried her and headed towards the large bed. This was an extremely wide bed made from red sandalwood, not one of those frame beds. Yun Shi Yi had followed his wife’s suggestions in her letters–he had found a famous artisan to create a spring mattress and had a double phoenix and sunrise design carved around it; their bed was covered with a never-before-seen mattress pad that was entirely new to this era. Made from a thick layer of natural sponges with medicinal properties, the mattress pad was then covered with cloud silk brocade embroidered with crimson tree peonies. When one laid on top of it, it was incomparably soft.
Min Zhi placed her on top of the bed. After they had married, he had fantasized countless times of truly having her so now that he was facing the clean and dainty body, there was still a part of him that found it unreal, as if he was in a dream. He leaned over her, his large hands rubbing all over her body, bringing about a sort of limpness to both parties. The female’s body became warmer and warmer, encroaching pink, with a fascinating sheen underneath the candlelight.
He pulled apart her legs, his fingers trembling as he gently touched and pushed them aside, then lowered his head and kissed. A liquid that was not inferior to the sweet milk from her chest entered his mouth and brain, and in a flash, his eyes became hazy, and he couldn’t resist doubling his efforts for another sample.
“En……Ahh!……” What was sent to her were pain and itchiness but also an extraordinary comfortable feeling. Incessant, delicate mews sprinkled out of Ruan Zhu’s mouth.
Xuanyuan Min Zhi lifted his head, then used his own long-swollen member to prod at the entrance before pushing inside so that two became one.
“Ouch!” Ruan Zhu’s face turned white. Being worried that he was too big wasn’t unreasonable: “You don’t have any experience, so lie down and let me be on top……” She was afraid his technique was too poor and would bruise her.
“All right!” Xuanyuan Min Zhi sprawled on his back in the bed like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, his scorching eyes on his wife.
Ruan Zhu straddled his body. Using her hand in support, she then positioned herself over him and sat down. But it had only entered her halfway when her face twisted in pain–it had gotten stuck and she didn’t dare to move any further. Xuanyuan Min Zhi’s face was full of anxiety; being so tightly wrapped up in her, he was at the peak of pleasure, but seeing her having a hard time, he really didn’t dare to carelessly move.
Ruan Zhu pulled one of his large hands to her sensitive place: “Lord, there is a small bead here. Gently rub there and it’ll stop hurting after a while. Once I feel good, I can do that with you.”
He listened to her words and he placed both hands atop it, gently rubbing. Raising his head, he gave her another kiss, his teeth nipping and nibbling her, bringing about an unfolding pleasure.
“En……okay……I can move a little now. Lord, don’t move, just let me……” Ruan Zhu slowly moved up and down, causing him to enter her a little more, but he had already reached her depths and even half an inch could not be entered further. The place where she was connected with him caused waves of limp pleasure to course through her and soft moans spilled from her mouth.
“Wife’s voice is really pleasant to listen to. Louder, I like hearing you.” His two hands softly fondled her body from top to bottom, teasing and playing.
“Okay, since you like to hear it, I’ll just scream……nnAHH!!……” She amplified her voice and felt incredibly excited. As she gradually adapted to him, she then increased the speed of her movements. Her insides became more and more itchy; the pain and soreness turned into pleasure and arousal; and an electric current flowed unrestrained through every single one of her pores. “AHH!……” She screamed in succession as her entire body shuddered and she fell forwards, lying limp on top of him.
Xuanyuan Min Zhi was impatient. Hugging her with both arms, he suddenly flipped them around and pressed her down……Initially, he didn’t dare to be too reckless, but seeing that she didn’t put up too much of a resistance, he gradually sped up……
“Zhu’er, you are mine now.” He growled and released inside her. Now they were truly a married couple.
Men who had tasted love could not be restrained. Thus, she was tossed through the entire night and fell asleep sometime in the middle of it all while they were still copulating……
As to how many times she had been tossed by him, she was also unclear. Even later when she asked Xuanyuan Min Zhi, he only smirked and shook his head.
With the arrival of early morning, Nuan Chun entered with a basin of water. Xuanyuan Min Zhi had long been awake and his mind was energetic and refreshed. Ruan Zhu flipped over and fell asleep again. Min Zhi sent a ‘shhh‘ over to Nuan Chun and gestured with his hand for the latter to leave.
If it was a normal day, he would have already been outside practicing his sword and boxing, but he only wanted to look after her today. Sorrow filled his heart–when it became nighttime, would she still be considered his? Yun Shi Yi had only said their wife could stay with him for one night. What should he do if she was snatched away?
Thinking about how they had performed bedroom activities for only one night and now had to separate, he felt quite upset.
But his fears were unfounded. As the most senior rank, Yun Shi Yi was very generous, yielding the privilege of being the first to have their scheduled five days to Xuanyuan Min Zhi. Thus, Min Zhi continued to accompany their wife for the next four days. Fortunately, he still had a bit of a conscience and knew that his wife couldn’t endure it, so he was not too excessive and only asked for a few extra rounds on the fourth day.
Then afterwards was Yun Shi Yi, Yun Shi Wei, Xuanyuan Zong Zhi……
The days slipped by one at a time, and Yun Shi Wei’s wish of being able to take his five hundred personally trained comrades to the battlefield was fulfilled, and he started a career of becoming a well-qualified soldier.
The arrival of autumn was followed by the return of the merchants that Ruan Zi Xu had led to Mongolia with the task of buying horses. They brought with them their haul of several thousand warhorses. These merchants had been afraid the Mongolians would be opposed to their potential strength and detain them, thus they intentionally detoured around Korea to return to their home country. Unfortunately, Ruan Zi Xu had not followed them in returning. They said he had wanted to take the opportunity while his body was still young to wander even further west, because the far west had Persia and Tazi and their horses were of even higher quality. He hoped to be able to bring one back with him.
Ruan Zhu lived the days very leisurely. If she had nothing to do, she would take the children out, plant flowers and other vegetation. She had spent money to collect all sorts of seeds and had the servants open up a large field on the shore of the Lan River. Using her words, it was called a ‘high-tech experimental field.’
She desired to use her own two hands and knowledge to develop the best crop seeds of this era, allowing every single person to be able to afford rice and making it so no one would ever die of starvation again.
Close to Guan Ju Villa was a large plum blossom forest that caused ten li to be filled with its fragrance when the flowers bloomed. There had already been quite a few madams that wanted to take the plum blossom forest for their own, but their proposals did not pass in the yamen. The plum forest blossom had already existed for several hundred years and was a major landscape and attraction in Lan Zhou that was considered the riches of all who admired the beauty of the plum blossoms.
When it was time for the winter flowers to bloom, the people that came to the plum blossom forest were exceptionally many, with the majority of them being literary scholars or lovers who had arranged to meet at this spot.
The several husbands all had their own work, and even the idle Prince, Xuanyuan Min Zhi, had been meticulously sent by his Emperor-Father to Hong Lu Temple to be in charge of welcoming and entertaining foreign envoys. Zong Zhi had said before that one could not frivolously stay at home as they would become wastes after a while. Although going to Hong Lu Temple was still a leisurely job, there were broad social and communication circles so this move was rather good.
The twins were still small so they could not be carried out during the harsh and cold winter, but Zhi Xi could run and jump. As a result of being taught by his several fathers to be wild, none of the neighbors’ children of the same age could beat him. Ruan Zhu was worried he would be difficult to discipline and confined him inside the study every day to recite verses for half a sichen. Originally, it was to try and make things difficult for him but who would have thought that after a few days, over a dozen quatrains had been completely recited and flew right off his tongue? A two-year old toddler–this was too ridiculous, right?!
On this day, the weather was slightly warmer and Ruan Zhu’s spirits rose along with it, taking everyone to the plum blossom forest to have a barbecue. In actuality, there weren’t that many people present. Her husbands weren’t home and there was only Ruan Yu, who led Zhi Xi, and also Nuan Chun. As for the two Yun elders, they had long gone back to the Yun manor, and because it was winter, she didn’t dare to randomly take the twins out as she wished.
Mutton, chicken, venison, catfish, prawns, crabs, napa cabbage, Chinese mustard, cucumbers, spinach……a diverse spread. Charcoal was burned in a brazier underneath an old plum blossom tree. To Nuan Chun, this task was so familiar, he could do it with one hand tied behind his back. When they had fled from the southern border all the way up north, they had frequently ate barbecue when out in the wilderness.
Actually, it was not that easy to eat vegetables during this season. Her hubby Zong Zhi’s Hua Nong Ying Glass Workshop had earned quite a lot of money and had also opened up a branch in Lan Zhou.
Ruan Zhu had thought about glasshouses and had people build one, where she had cultivated plants and vegetables inside. It made it so that, during the severe winter, the greens that other families weren’t able to eat were considered trivial and common foods in her household. To celebrate the Winter Solstice Festival, she had sent over several large carriages full of vegetables to the imperial palace the day before yesterday, and in his delight, the Emperor had sent down an imperial edict to give her a great commendation and called for an increase in planting so that the common people could also eat it.
