Chapter 171 Passive Endurance
Shen Jingxuan moved closer to Xie Lingxiao, and noticing that he was unmoved, she couldn't help laughing in her heart.
If she didn't punish him for doing such a thing, it would seem that she was too generous.
Shen Jingxuan continued to move forward, their breaths blending together. Xie Lingxiao felt more and more nervous, yet inexplicably expectant and excited.
He was looking forward to Shen Jingxuan's active approach and her next move, which made his blood boil and his whole body feel hot.
Xie Lingxiao couldn't help swallowing, and his mouth became more and more dry.
Shen Jingxuan smelled Xie Lingxiao's breath, suddenly lowered her head and kissed Xie Lingxiao's Adam's apple.
"Hiss." The sudden touch made Xie Lingxiao gasp.
The soft cherry lips touched his Adam's apple, and Xie Lingxiao couldn't help but want to put his arms around Shen Jingxuan's waist.
"Don't move." A soft voice sounded, and Xie Lingxiao slowly put his raised hand back.
Shen Jingxuan slightly opened her cherry lips, gently took it into her mouth, turning and rubbing it repeatedly.
"Hmm..." Xie Lingxiao couldn't bear it and made a sound. He tilted his head slightly and his hands unconsciously grasped the quilt.
Shen Jingxuan seemed to have discovered something interesting and repeated it over and over again as if she never got tired of it.
"Xuan'er..." Xie Lingxiao couldn't help but call Shen Jingxuan.
Shen Jingxuan, however, pretended not to hear anything and continued to kiss him, moving all the way down. Every kiss that landed on Xie Lingxiao's body made him tremble as if being burned.
"Xuan'er..." Xie Lingxiao couldn't help but murmur, as if begging Shen Jingxuan to forgive him, and as if reminding Shen Jingxuan that he wanted more.
When Xie Lingxiao finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to turn the passive situation into active one, Shen Jingxuan suddenly left with her cherry lips.
"Do you know you're wrong?" Shen Jingxuan panted and gasped.
Xie Lingxiao suddenly opened his eyes, and looked at Shen Jingxuan with red eyes: "Xuan'er..."
His voice was heavy and panting, and he looked a little unsatisfied, which made Shen Jingxuan secretly laugh.
She stood up and sat at the table, quietly waiting for Xie Lingxiao's answer.
Shen Jingxuan poured herself a cup of cold tea and drank it all in one gulp. The action just now made Xie Lingxiao not only suffer the hardship, but she also felt unbearable.
To her surprise, Xie Lingxiao not only did not get up, but pulled the quilt over him.
Shen Jingxuan looked at him suspiciously: "What are you doing? Asking you if you know you are wrong."
"Xuan'er, I know I was wrong. I will warm your bed." Xie Lingxiao answered seriously.
He had just been tortured terribly, and Xie Lingxiao was secretly annoyed at the thought that he could only passively endure it and not actively ask for it.
If she had known that he would suffer the consequences today, she should have discussed it with Shen Jingxuan in advance and then asked the emperor to grant the marriage.
Shen Jingxuan glared at Xie Lingxiao and said, "Go back home quickly. I need to rest."
Seeing that Xie Lingxiao didn't seem to be planning to leave for a while, she urged him.
Xie Lingxiao reluctantly got up, carried Shen Jingxuan to the bed, and left quickly.
Xie Lingxiao climbed out of the window and quickly headed towards the palace, feeling relieved.
Fortunately, he took the initiative to tell the truth. If Shen Jingxuan knew about it after they got married, she would definitely not let him get on the bed, right?
The first thing Xie Lingxiao did when he returned to the palace was to go to the bathroom and pour buckets of cold water on himself.
Only after his whole body became cold and gradually returned to normal did he return to the couch and gradually fall asleep.
The next morning, Shen Jingxuan was pulled out of bed by Chuntao, who looked at her with resentment on his face.
"Tao'er, can't you let me sleep a little longer?" Shen Jingxuan complained.
How many times has this happened? It's a big deal, can't we wait until she wakes up?
Chun Tao bared her teeth and smiled at Shen Jingxuan: "Miss, there is a palace banquet today, you can't delay the time."
If you arrive too late, not only will you not be able to enter the palace, you will also be laughed at by other noble ladies.
Only her young lady doesn't care, but other young ladies all look forward to attending palace banquets every day.
This will allow them to shine, attract the attention of noble men, and marry into wealthy families.
If you are lucky enough to be noticed by a prince, you will soar to the top and everyone will envy and be jealous of you.
Her young lady is quite strange. Not only does she dislike attending various banquets, she also disdains to look at those young men.
If you count them carefully, apart from Young Master Yun, only the Regent can catch the eye of her young lady.
Shen Jingxuan got up reluctantly and sat there motionless, allowing Chuntao to clean up for her.
While Chuntao was choosing clothes for her, Shen Jingxuan took the clothes that Xie Lingxiao sent and put them on herself.
Chuntao's eyes lit up slightly. She stood by and helped Shen Jingxuan put on her clothes. Then she helped Shen Jingxuan put on the jewelry in the box one by one.
Xie Lingxiao knew Shen Jingxuan's preferences very well, and the clothes and jewelry he chose were deeply loved by Shen Jingxuan.
"Miss, you look really beautiful dressed like this." Chuntao praised.
Shen Jingxuan had no choice but to take off the hair accessories on her head, leaving only a hairpin, and she just stopped.
"That's much better." Shen Jingxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
If she were asked to dress like this all day, she was worried that her neck would be damaged, so now it was just right to leave it with just a hairpin.
After breakfast, Shen Jingxuan took Chuntao and Ling Huan on a carriage and arrived at the palace gate.
To her surprise, many young ladies and gentlemen from official families had arrived in front of the palace gate in advance and were queuing up to enter.
The moment Shen Jingxuan got off the carriage, she attracted many people's attention.
Seeing Shen Jingxuan's dress, he couldn't help but praise her: "Which lady is she from? She is so pretty."
"Yes, why have you never seen her?"
Lu Jinxuan heard the discussions of the crowd and turned around to look.
When she saw clearly that it was Shen Jingxuan, Lu Jinxuan's eyes turned red.
She didn't expect that Shen Jingxuan, who was dressed up carefully, was so beautiful that she almost didn't recognize her.
Lu Jinxuan resisted the urge to step forward and thought to herself, Shen Jingxuan, just wait, I will teach you a lesson today.
A carriage passed by the crowd, and Xie Lingxiao lifted the curtain to look for Shen Jingxuan.
She was wearing a water-blue dress with a gauze belt lightly tied around her waist that fluttered in the wind, making her waist look slender. There was only a plum blossom jade hairpin in her hair, which, although simple, made her look fresh and elegant.
Xie Lingxiao's dark eyes darkened. He had never seen Shen Jingxuan dressed up so carefully before. Now seeing her appearance, he secretly regretted that he should not let her dress like this.
Although he had expected it, he was still amazed when he actually saw it. He couldn't help but want to hide Shen Jingxuan so that no one could see her.
The carriage went all the way to the palace gate, and another carriage behind it stopped next to Shen Jingxuan.
Xie Zihan hurriedly got off the carriage and came to Shen Jingxuan's side.
His eyes were fixed on Shen Jingxuan's figure, unwilling to leave even a little bit.
It was the first time he saw Shen Jingxuan like this. He was deeply attracted to her and developed a strong desire to possess her.
"Xuan'er, follow me, I will take you into the palace."
After saying that, Xie Zihan stepped forward and tried to grab Shen Jingxuan, but she dodged him.
"Your Highness, please respect yourself. I can enter the palace on my own and there is no need to trouble you." Shen Jingxuan said, and continued to move forward with the team.
Xie Zihan did not give up and continued to move forward to fight, but he did not expect to see Ling Feng coming quickly.
