Chapter 7
To Be A Virtuous Wife
Qu Qing Ju reading in her red dress. This is probably one of the pictures that fit her description the most. Girdled red dress, forehead jewel, bangles.
Qu Qing Ju is laughing is what the title means, in case someone didnât understand. Well, things happen this chapter. Iâve never translated a real sex thing before (though this is still not explicit). Remember to grab your winnings ! ;P Itâs the ending of an arc and the beginning of Qu Qing Ju entering this world. I updated the glossary again with a list of numbers and what siblings are called. Please mix and match accordingly for future chapters. ????
Chapter Seven Qu Qing Ju: He He
The news that wang ye was coming to zhengyuan was enough to make the servants cheerful. Everybody started the preparations needed, wanting to renovate the entire yard if possible.
Qu Qing Ju actually became one of the calmest in the houyuan. Her hair hanging wet and loose, she allowed Jin Zhan to gently dry her hair, Yin Liu to manage her hands, Yu Zan her feet and Mu Jin to pick her clothes and accessories.
"Wang feiâs feet are very beautiful," Yu Zan sighed in admiration. Wang feiâs feet were pale, the toes round and tender to the touch. Half a beat later, she sighed again, "The last time Ban Xia was performing an exotic dance, wang ye had praised her feet too. Nubi thinks that she canât compare to wang fei at all."
"What thing is she, that you compare her to wang fei?" Mu Jin picked a red jade hairpin from a box. Hearing what Yu Zan said, she snorted: "Sheâs just a lowly person, she doesnât deserve to be mentioned."
Yu Zan finally remembered that Ban Xia had originally been one of wang feiâs servants. She had seduced wang ye to become a tongfang and quickly added: "Mu Jin jiejie, donât be angry. I was just struck by how beautiful wang feiâs feet were and my mind just didnât work."
Hearing the protectiveness of the two yahuan from their words, Qu Qing Ju couldnât resist laughing: "From what you have said, if others could hear, theyâll think your wang fei is a goddess. You can keep hearing it, I canât bear it. Finish and help me up, I canât hear any more."
When this came out, all the servant girls laughed and felt relief inside. Evidently wang fei hadnât kept what happened with Ban Xia on her mind.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qu Qing Ju had a preference for wide-sleeved dresses and in the end, still picked a red wide-sleeve dress. The color of fire contrasted with the snowiness of her skin. Casually allowing Mu Jin to style her hair and use the red jade hairpin to secure it, she leaned back against her chair and flipped open a story about a scholar and a beauty.
It wasnât that she had much interest in this type of story, it was just there wasnât many amusements in this time. After two pages, she couldnât muster the interest to read how the poor men in this time fantasized about rich ladies. Seeing the sky darkening, she let them present dinner.
"Wang fei, wang ye
hasnât arrived. If wang ye hadnât eaten when he arrives and you have ... ..." Mu Jin opened worriedly, "If you are hungry, why donât I let the kitchen send over some porridge."
"Itâs already this late, wang ye wouldnât come here to eat dinner," Qu Qing Ju waved her hand, "Just send my orders, thatâs all." There was nothing exciting about that tasteless porridge. She didnât like waters and soups.
When He Heng entered the zhengyuan, he saw a stream of yahuan come out with empty meal boxes. Waving away their greetings, He Heng felt a bit complicated, a feeling of disappointment similar to "wang fei didnât wait for me to eat, my status doesnât seem to be very high".
Entering the room, at first glance He Heng saw wang fei sitting at the round table washing her hands in preparation of eating. It was that the red of the wide-sleeved dress that was too eye catching, that he had to pay his attention immediately. He couldnât move his eyes away after a glance, this crimson-clad beautiful woman lazily wiping jade-like hands was his wang fei?
"Wang yeâs arrived?" Qu Qing Ju set down the silk she had been wiping with and stood with a smile, "Have you eaten? if not, letâs eat together."
Even though he had eaten, but feeling like he could still eat more, He Heng complied and sat. His gaze landed on the swaying strands beside Qu Qing Juâs face. It was only when Qu Qing Ju personally place a bowl of pearl chicken soup in front of him that he spoke: "Why is wang fei eating at this time?"
Qu Qing Ju jerked the corners of her lips: "Wasnât hungry earlier so this is a bit late."
He Heng nodded and felt his heart heal. Even though wang fei was explaining it this way, but he still felt that wang fei was waiting for him to eat together. Feeling his ego was satisfied, wang ye took a drink of the soup, suddenly feeling that he was a bit too thirsty.
After the meal, Qu Qing Ju proceeded as normal to wash her hands and drink tea to rinse. She found that the taste of tea today was much stronger than usual. Looking at He Heng who was sitting opposite her, she realized the work of Jin Zan who was crouched in front of her.
After the table was clean, Hen Heng and Qu Qing Ju moved to the more comfortable armchairs and let somebody light the lamps.
"Other than the wedding night, I had never seen wang fei wear a red dress," He Heng smiled as he looked at Qu Qing Ju from head to toe, "but this color suits wang fei."
Qu Qing Ju smiled and saw Mu Jin and the others light the candles in the room. She used one hand to smooth the hair beside her face, "They say that women use their appearance to please others, it must be that qie is trying to please wang ye."
He Hengâs brow moved slightly. Standing and moving in front of Qu Qing Ju, he gently took that lock of hair: "Wang fei has definitely pleased me. Wang fei has given me a great surprise these past two days."
Qu Qing Ju raised her chin and smiled widely at He Heng: "He he."
The servants in the surrounding saw the situation. Ming He and Mu Jin exchanged looks and the two waved their hands. Everybody else in the room quickly retreated.
Ming He personally shut the door. Seeing wang fei
âs personal yahuan was still standing to one side, he walked a few steps and she followed. He then lowered his voice to say: "Later weâll have to pay attention to see if the zhuzi still have anything they need." This wang fei named her useful yahuan using flowers. He remembered the most able of them was Mu Jin.
Mu Jin nodded and replied in a low voice: "Ming He gonggong, donât worry." Who wasnât important in front of their zhuzi. How to serve, Ming He wasnât the only one that understood.
Ming He saw that she wasnât one for words and didnât speak further. Thinking back to how wang fei acted today, he wondered, this wang fei might not be anything when she doesnât move, but when she moves, itâs a shock. Clearly, it was just a simple red dress and dark hair, but why did it have some inexplicable attraction?
Rubbing strongly at his chin, Ming He stood quietly in the corner, paying attention to the movement inside the room, afraid that if he didnât catch his masterâs orders, somebody would steal his present position.
Inside the room, He Heng and Qu Qing Juâs struggle had moved to the bed. Both were untidily attired now. One with strong vigor, one with bewitching eyes. There was only the last step.
"Wang fei is so delicious," He Heng exhaled gently by Qu Qing Juâs ear, his voice becoming rougher. The tip of his tongue slid across the fine neck and was well satisfied to find the person below lightly shudder.
Qu Qing Ju responded by winding around He Hengâs neck with an arm, her foot lightly sliding over the top of He Hengâs foot: "Wang ye is a feast for the eyes." Oh god, this man was very skilled at flirting.
"Ben wang does want to let wang fei know who really is a feast." He Heng, whose appetite had been wheted by wang fei to a gaping hunger pulled away the only covering over Qu Qing Juâs chest. Seeing that slightly moving chest, he felt that fire burning inside had never been as bright. He wanted to bite at this womanâs chest, to leave behind on that pale skin a mark that belonged to him.
At the moment, it was impossible to know who lit whoâs fire but two mouths touched and that fire couldnât be suppressed any longer. It was a wildfire on the prairies, a sea of red waves, whipped higher by the spring winds to a peak.
He Heng felt a never-experienced sense of rejuvenation. After the last tremors, he enclosed the soft woman in his embrace and laughed roughly: "Wang fei is my treasure."
Even though it was said you couldnât believe anything a man said after, but this didnât affect Qu Qing Juâs good mood after being satisfied. She allowed this somewhat-best-quality man to hold her and yawned.
Seeing that the woman was drowsy, He Heng raised his voice: "Come, prepare water."
Ming He, who had been waiting outside, waved his hand to others who had prepared a bathtub full of hot water to carry it in. He calculated the time. It had almost been two hours. He could see that wang ye and wang fei were full of emotions for each other.
Lazily finishing her bath, Qu Qing Ju didnât care to dress and only wrapped a thin layer of silk around before walking to the bed.
He Heng looked at that bare jade-like feet, and that snowy legs and arms and his eyes changed. He bent down to lift the person up and threw onto the bed. Then he covered her with a blanket and growled: "Wang fei is trying to tempt ben wang."
Qu Qing Ju laughed and one hand came out of the blanket. She curled her index finger: "This is tempting wang ye."
Seeing her move like she was motioning for a pet, He Heng couldnât resist. He pulled the blankets down and covered the other with his body again.
Outside the door, Ming He heard the sounds inside the room and stopped the servants that had been going in to carry out the bathtub. He couldnât help gazing at the moon. Didnât spring already pass?
On the morning of the second day, wang ye left the door full of energy. The servants that served wang fei were still standing in their original spots. Hearing wang ye order the servants not to disturb wang feiâs rest, Ming He, who was following behind wang ye, wang ye was worthy of his position.
Inside the room, Qu Qing Ju slept for another hour before calling for servants. Mu Jin and Yin Liu, who had been waiting with a cadre of little yahuan, silently moved in.
"Wang fei," Mu Jin saw the marks that had appeared on wang feiâs collarbone and moved her eyes away slightly. She quickly helped put on the under robe and picked a trailing bird and flowers dress for Qu Qing Ju to wear.
After Qu Qing Ju washed and sat in front of the mirror, Mu Jin finally spoke: "Wang fei, today, wang ye had a good expression when he left this morning."
Qu Qing Ju handed her a pair of tassels she picked and tried to let her face reveal an embarrassed blush: "You are talking nonsense. Go look to see the kitchen has delivered the meal."
Mu Jin, seeing wang fei was embarrassed, smiled and said: "Alright, alright. Nubi will go look. Jin Zhan, Yu Zan, serve carefully, Yin Liu and I will go." Yu Zan was the best hairdresser so she usually did wang feiâs hair.
Coming of the room, Mu Jin and Yin Liu exchanged happy looks. Now wang fei finally managed to establish herself in this wang fu.
Yin Liu smiled and said: "Next month is the Duke of Chang Deâs birthday, when wang fei goes, letâs see who dare overstep."
Mu Jin, thinking about the unhappy mess of events and people in Chang De Gong Fu, lost some of the cheerfulness on her face and sighed: "As long as wang ye will always treat wang fei like he did in these last two days, nobody in Chang De Gong Fu will dare not respect wang fei."
As noble as Chang De Gong Fu was, could it be as noble as the wang fu? Hopefully at that time, wang fei wouldnât go back to her dull personally and let the people in the fu disrespect her.
