Chapter 6 — Thanh Phong Like Jade, Da Da Da Inquiry

I cried and groaned in pain. Bui Thieu Thanh looked at the scene he had caused, and a rare feeling of guilt arose in his heart. He carefully checked inside and out, only to feel reassured when he saw that I was not injured. Then he carefully cleaned me up. That night I slept continuously until late afternoon. Woke up and saw my mother standing next to the bed, her face bright, waiting for me to wake up. Actually, I was hungry and woke up. As soon as I woke up, I immediately ate two bowls of white porridge, my stomach was full, and I hugged the blanket to sleep again. By the time he was truly awake, it was already late, but he still lay in bed forever, waiting for Bui Thieu Thanh to return. As soon as I saw him, I immediately became angry. It's okay if you want to prove your bravery, but is it necessary to force me that much? When I fell asleep, I had nightmares, dreamed that I was beaten and bruised, my bones were broken. Seeing him enter the room, I angrily turned around and turned my back to him. The room was quiet for a long while. Bui Thieu Thanh slowly walked closer, gently patting my back. I immediately turned my hand away. He sighed, leaned over, forcing me to turn around. My eyes turned red and I glared at him: "You were too much yesterday! Did you know that!" He pursed his lips: "Next time it won't be like that again... sorry." I snorted coldly. My eyes suddenly glanced at the collar of his shirt, which had three clear red marks. I was immediately so embarrassed that my face turned red.

“Do you just go up to the temple today?”

He paused, reflexively reaching out to touch my scratch. I slowly sat up, blaming: "Why don't you cover it up at all?" He replied: "Forgot." I puffed my cheeks and asked: "So your colleagues don't laugh at you?" He shook his head... then nodded again.

“They said… they were very jealous of me.”

The look on his face was a bit smug - what did he mean? I was angry but didn't know where to vent, so I glared at him, then turned around and went back to sleep. A moment later, he poked my back again. I turned around: "What are you doing?" I just saw him give me a wooden box. I looked at the box, then looked at him again, full of doubt. He pursed his lips: "Coax her." I half expectedly took it and opened it in front of him. I saw that the inside was full of checks, even more than what my mother gave me. My eyes couldn't hide the joy, making him breathe a sigh of relief, with a faint smile on his face. I snorted softly, pursed my lips and asked, "Why did you give me this?" He gently held my hand:

"That day my mother gave her silver, she was very happy... last night I was too much and made her angry..."

“So… you used a check to make me happy?”

He nodded.

“Okay, even though it's a bit vulgar, who says I'm also a mortal person?”

Then I put the box down, wrapped my arms around his neck, and sweetly kissed him on the cheek.

“Thank you, husband.”

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, gently patting my back.

That night, he was tormented so much that it left a mark. It took a few days of rest for it to gradually disappear. In the evening, when the mother-in-law helped me bathe, she smiled and chatted while washing:

“Before, my husband and wife were still worried, but now it seems like that worry was unnecessary.”

“The old man watched the Prince grow up from a young age, and now sees him getting married and living happily like that, and my heart is very happy.”

The other day, chatting with Bui Thieu Thanh, I learned that this woman is his nanny. No wonder she is so trusted by the Duke's wife. Seeing that I don't show off my master's mannerisms, she became even closer. Lately, she and I have become more and more attached bunch like a picture with a shadow. Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I say is: "Mother!" She also sees me as her own child, smiling brightly every day.

“It looks like it won't be long before we have a little treasure.”

What does Tieu Bao say? I also have some hope. Bui Thieu Thanh's appearance is like a fairy coming to earth, I am not inferior, so the future child will definitely be extremely adorable.

"But... I'm still like a child, how can I be a mother?"

The mother smiled and helped me get dressed: "Why can't you? Being a child or being a mother is not at all contradictory."

“The old man just wants his wife to always be like a child, innocent and happy.”

I giggled: "Mom, you are so kind." She smiled and said: "But there's no need to rush. Enjoy it for another year or two. Wait until your body gets a little bigger and giving birth will be less difficult." I nodded: "But... this is not up to me to decide?" She said a little embarrassedly: "Then tell the Crown Prince not to be too hasty, it's a little easier to avoid outside." I blushed and nodded slightly. As soon as he stepped out of the small room, he saw Bui Thieu Thanh changing his clothes behind the screen. I shyly turned my face away. Waiting for her to leave, I shyly asked: "Did you... hear everything?" He nodded, pursed his lips, and looked serious: "I will be careful." My face immediately felt like it was on fire. I only replied softly: "Um..." In the middle of the night, while I was dreaming in my sleep, the person next to me began to feel restless. He secretly hugged me, sometimes pinching my waist, sometimes kissing my cheek. I finally couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "What are you doing!" He bowed his head, gently kissed my eyelashes, softly said: "I don't know how to be 'careful'... I want to try again." Me: "..." Who says men don't have eyes?

"Then... you won't be too much later."

"There's still court tomorrow.""Yes."

A moment later, hot breath blew on the hollow of my waist, making me tense and tighten my grip on the blanket.

“Don't kiss dirty!”

The other person pretended not to hear. A long time later, tears welled up in my eyes, my small hand punched his chest: "You bastard!"
