Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince-Chapter 73

73 Can His Highness not be a little gentle? [Bonus chapter]

Lóng Wei found desperation in Li Hua’s eyes to know if anyone was alive in that deadly assassination. His heart ached to see the tears on the edges of her eyes. He lifted his hands, and his fingers wiped those tears.

“No. Unfortunately, they all are dead,” Lóng Wei finally replied.

Li Hua lowered her head, but Lóng Wei held her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze. “Don’t let the tears fall from your eyes. Be strong,” Lóng Wei told her. Li Hua gulped the lump which had formed in her throat and did not break into tears.

“What about Feng Lao?” Li Hua asked.

Lóng Wei got confused when he heard that name. “Who is he?” Unaware of the name, he waited for her answer.

“Shui Feng Lao is the one who I love, Your Highness,” Li Hua answered. “I was supposed to marry him. That jade ring,” she looked at his right hand, “is the token of his love that he gave me before sending me away. Is he alive?” She asked with high hopes. She waited for him in the village for a week, but he never came. She wasn’t strong enough to go back and check into him.

Lóng Wei let out a frustrated sigh. “Forget him. It is the last time, I am hearing his name. I don’t care if he is alive or dead. All I care about is you. This ring,” he showed her the red jade ring, “has no meaning in your life.”

He stepped back and threw the flower vase that was on the table. It smashed into pieces. Li Hua got scared with his sudden burst of anger.

He picked a broken piece of the porcelain vase and cut his index finger. Blood dripped out of the cut, and the drops fell on the floor.

.....

He turned to look at Li Hua, and the pad of his index finger touched the middle of her forehead, right between her brows. She gaped at him in bewilderment and closed her eyes when she felt his cold finger on her forehead.

He made another flower petal with his finger on her forehead. “A symbol to show that we both spend the night together. Now, I will not answer any more questions of yours unless you are curious to know,” he stated and put his hand down, not worrying his finger was still bleeding.

Li Hua downcasted her eyes. A strange silence prevailed between the two. He was silent because his anger had not subsided. While, Li Hua was silent to find that Lóng Wei knew everything about her.

She put the pillow on the table and grabbed the right hand of Lóng Wei, who gazed at her in astonishment. “His Highness shall not hurt him,” she said softly and took out the handkerchief from inside her long sleeve. She tied it around his finger, who looked at her grimace. The candle lights had turned dimmer. Only the upper halves of the bodies were visible.

“Why didn’t His Highness tell everyone that I am the daughter of Xu Guang Li? Why did His Highness stay quiet? I am curious to know.” She tied the handkerchief around his finger and looked into his eyes.

“Because I love you more than anything else. I had not expected to see you in the Palace. But destiny wanted this. The moment I saw you, I decided to marry you. I had no intention to tell anyone about your real identity,” Lóng Wei said. He scrunched his eyebrows when he saw the shadow on the doors.

Without wasting any second, he carried Li Hua up in his strong arms, to which she resisted.

“Someone is here,” Lóng Wei whispered and swiftly came to the bed. He gently put her down and again hovered over her. He buried his face in her neck while she tightened the hold on his arms.

“Stay still,” he whispered. f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎

Li Hua blinked her eyes out of nervousness. When his breath fanned against her neck, she shuddered and closed her eyes. It seemed his lips would touch her skin at any moment.

“Can you act?” Lóng Wei asked.

“Eh?” She didn’t understand what he meant.

“Act as if you are enjoying it,” Lóng Wei’s words fell into her ear. “The person outside, is sent to check if we both are consummating or not,” he affirmed.

“H-how?” Li Hua was unaware of what to do and how to act.

“Weren’t you taught all this?” Lóng Wei asked. “You must be aware,” he whispered.

“But I don’t know... how to act in such a situation,” Li Hua replied and found her throat getting drier.

“Then, should I teach you?” Lóng Wei asked.

Outside the Sixth Prince’s chamber, the head Eunuch from the Queen’s manor, Eunuch Lianying, and Court Lady Hong were present.

“The Sixth Prince, if found that we are keeping an eye on them, he might get angry,” Court Lady Hong said in a low voice.

“The Queen will ask for the report in the morning. Also, it is one of the inner palace rules to make sure that the royal prince consummates with his official wife on their wedding day. Court Lady Hong should have taught the young lady about it,” Eunuch Lianying scolded Court Lady Hong, keeping his voice low.

He peeked through the gaps between the doors and found that the light was dinner, than usual. He blinked his eyes several times before again peeking inside.

“Lady Hong, the Sixth Prince is in bed. Why isn’t there any movement?” he murmured. “It has been ten minutes, and no sound can be heard. Did the Sixth Prince lose his interest in his wife so early?” He mumbled when he heard the cry of Li Hua.

“It hurts, Your Highness!” Li Hua complained.

He tilted his head up to look at Court Lady Hong, and they both smiled. She quickly pulled him away and told him not to disturb them.

“His Majesty also wants to know whether his youngest son is interested in women or not. All these years, Prince Lóng Wei never had shown any interest towards them,” he whispered near Court Lady Hong’s ear, who smiled.

“Ahhh. It hurts.”

They both heard another cry and suppressed their giggles.

“Li Hua, the first time is always painful,” Lóng Wei loudly said.

Eunuch Lianying and Court Lady Hong covered their mouths with their respective palms so that Lóng Wei would not hear their giggles.

“Can His Highness not be a little gentle?” Li Hua complained.

Court Lady Hong gestured to Eunuch Lianying to leave, and they soon left the manor.

Lóng Wei turned his head to look and no longer found the shadows on the door. He moved away from Li Hua and laid beside her.

“You sounded so-” he paused when Li Hua covered his mouth with her palm. Her cheeks flushed red because of the pain that Lóng Wei gave her.

“His Highness should not have pinched me so hard. Anyone would cry loudly,” she stated when Lóng Wei pushed her hand down.

“I only pinched your forearm, but your cries showed that you were experiencing pleasure,” he said and smirked, “especially when you said, ‘Can His Highness not be a little gentle?’ I wonder what you will do when we do it in real!”

“How could His Highness say such a thing? I said that because of the enormous pain I felt. His Highness’ mind is dirty,” she mumbled.

Lóng Wei chuckled. “So, Li Hua does know what a dirty mind is!” He remarked. “Can she tell me the example of having a dirty mind?” He started to tease her.

“I don’t know,” she said and looked at his arm.

“His Highness pinched me,” she grasped his arm, pushed his sleeve up, and pinched his forearm, “like this.”

To her wonder, he didn’t cry out when she applied more force, but he didn’t scream. Their eyes met again when she heard him say,

“I don’t feel such small pains.”

Li Hua slowly pulled her hand back when Lóng Wei caught it.

He pushed her sleeve up and looked at her skin, where he had pinched her. It had reddened. He carried his weight on his right elbow and blew the air over that region which had turned redder.

She tried to pull it away, but Lóng Wei wasn’t ready to let it go. He circled his fingers over her skin. “You have such smooth skin. You must have grown up as a pampered child of the house. I am glad that you made a safe escape from Xinshui. I am glad that you were safe for these two months,” he stated.
