Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Chu Fengmian sat quietly in the palace, his slender fingers like nimble butterflies plucking the strings of the zither lightly. The melodious music flowed like a gurgling mountain stream in the quiet space.

However, his mind was completely elsewhere. His exceptionally sharp perception, even at the Foundation Establishment stage, allowed him to accurately detect that familiar and unique aura even when Shen Li was still far away. "Li'er actually came to my place!"

His heart suddenly trembled, and his originally steady fingertips also trembled slightly, and the strings made a slightly abrupt vibrato, which seemed to reflect his inner panic.

When Chu Fengmian thought of Shen Li about to step into the palace, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to burst out of his chest.

Last night, the enchanting scenes he had seen in the private photo albums resurfaced uncontrollably in his mind. His cheeks instantly burned, as if on fire, and even the tips of his ears were stained a bright red. He hurriedly lowered his head, trying to hide his embarrassment and strangeness with his drooping hair.

Shen Lilian walked lightly and gracefully towards Yiyun Palace. The eunuchs serving at the gates lit up their eyes as they instantly caught sight of the Empress. Their faces quickly filled with ingratiating smiles, and they all knelt on their knees with a thump, kowtowed, and shouted at the top of their lungs, "Your Majesty, we are honored! Long live Your Majesty!" The sound carried far in the silent night, startling the birds perched under the eaves.

Shen Li looked calm, with gentle eyes. She waved her hand gently and said in a calm yet majestic tone, "Everyone, get up."

Her gaze passed through the open palace door and fell directly on Chu Fengmian inside the palace.

When Chu Fengmian heard the young eunuch's loud announcement, his already panicked heart tightened even more. His fingers frantically adjusted the non-existent wrinkles on the corners of his clothes. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

But the moment his eyes met Shen Li, his heartbeat went out of control again and became more and more rapid.

He stepped forward quickly, knelt gracefully in front of Shen Li and saluted, his voice carrying a subtle nervousness and anticipation: "Your Majesty, your servant Yixian respectfully welcomes you. May your Majesty be in good health and blessed with long-lasting blessings!"

Shen Li saw Chu Fengmian saluting, her eyes filled with tenderness. She quickly stepped forward and held his arms firmly with both hands. Her movements were gentle but revealed an irresistible strength. She said, "Lord Yixian, from now on, when you see me, you don't have to perform such grand formalities. Just be casual."

Shen Li gently held Chu Fengmian's hand, and the two walked slowly to the table side by side. She looked around and saw that the hall was filled with a festive atmosphere.

The bright red bed curtains swayed gently in the breeze, creating a charming atmosphere. The bedding was also a festive red, embroidered with an intricate pattern of lotus flowers, symbolizing beauty and sweetness. The floor was covered with a soft, intricately patterned carpet, so soft and comfortable that every step felt like stepping on clouds.

Seeing all this, Shen Li nodded slightly, a flicker of satisfaction in her eyes. These arrangements were carefully arranged according to her requirements. She didn't want Su Ran, Chu Fengmian, Nangong Qi, and Luo Lingchen to have too much discrepancy in their treatment. Although their statuses differed slightly, in her heart, they all held important positions and deserved to be treated with care.

Chu Fengmian lowered his head, his long eyelashes trembling slightly. In front of Shen Li, he inexplicably felt as if he had turned back into a young and ignorant child.

The palm of the hand she held was wet with fine beads of sweat, and her heartbeat was like a rapid drum, beating non-stop in her chest.

After a long while, Shen Li didn't make any further moves. He steeled his heart, mustered up his courage, and whispered with a trembling voice, a bit of nervousness and anticipation: "Li'er, I'll help you sleep."

Shen Li looked at his red ears and neck, which were flushed like a ripe cherry. She couldn't help but burst out laughing, her eyebrows curved, and she joked, "Oh, it's rare to see our Tianji Pavilion Master so shy! I must remember this scene well!"

Chu Fengmian seemed to be stimulated by these words. He raised his head suddenly, a different emotion flashed in his eyes, and he stretched out his long arms, picked her up steadily, walked a few steps to the bed, gently placed her on the soft bed, and hurriedly unbuttoned her clothes.

Seeing this, Shen Li quickly reached out her hand, gently stopped his movements, and softly said, "Wait a minute, don't be impatient." After that, she took out the "small raincoat" that she had exchanged in the system mall in advance, shook it in front of him, and patiently explained, "A Mian, this is a small raincoat. There are large and small sizes here. You can try it later to see which size is right for you..."

Chu Fengmian stared at the colorful and novel-looking objects in front of him, full of doubts. Even though he was usually very intelligent and powerful, he was really confused and at a loss when faced with something he had never seen before.

Shen Li had a gentle smile on her lips. She opened one of them and gestured in his direction. Her voice was soft, with a hint of shyness and concern, and she said slowly: "If a man wears it like this, a woman will not get pregnant."

Chu Fengmian understood instantly, and the blush on his face became more intense, almost as if blood was dripping out.

He nodded slightly to show that he understood, but at the same time, it felt like a sour fruit was quietly stuffed into his heart, and an inexplicable bitterness arose.

He knew in his heart that Li'er's first child would most likely be Luo Lingchen's.

After experiencing last night, Shen Li had shed her initial youthful ignorance and her movements became more relaxed.

She raised her hand, hooked her fingertips lightly, and slowly took off her complicated outer clothes. For a moment, the warm yellow candlelight danced, illuminating her delicate body wearing only a bright red mandarin duck bellyband.

The mandarin ducks embroidered on the bellyband were lifelike, as if they were whispering to each other, which made her skin look whiter than snow and almost transparent.

Shen Li raised her eyes, her gaze filled with tenderness. She moved lightly to Chu Fengmian's front with lotus steps, and her slender jade-white fingers touched his clothes. Her movements were gentle and a bit teasing. She unbuttoned his clothes little by little and helped him get rid of the restraints.

Chu Fengmian only felt that there seemed to be a ball of blazing fire burning in front of his eyes. Shen Li's skin was dazzlingly white, as soft and delicate as mutton-fat jade; her cheeks were just like the most beautiful peach blossoms in spring, rosy and glowing with a moving luster, so gorgeous that it was tempting to drink water.

In his mind, the erotic scenes in the album last night surged uncontrollably, and a hot current instantly rushed to his forehead. He could no longer suppress the desire in his heart. He suddenly stretched out his arms and held Shen Li tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood.

Then, he eagerly kissed Shen Li's cherry-red lips, as if absorbing the nutrients of life, rubbing against her.

His hands also began to wander uncontrollably, sometimes gently stroking her hair, sometimes slowly moving down her back.

As his emotions deepened, his breathing became more rapid. With Shen Li's gentle guidance and help, he hurriedly put on the large "raincoat".

For the rest of his life, Chu Fengmian was completely lost in this ultimate bliss. Those blurry images, once only present in picture albums, now became vivid and real. It turned out that depicting them on paper was far inferior to the tangible experience before his eyes. Every touch, every soft gasp, intoxicated him deeply, unable to tell the difference between day and night, wishing only that time would remain in this moment forever.

The night, like thick ink, weighed heavily upon the world, enveloping Yiyun Hall tightly within it. Inside, candlelight flickered, and shadows danced freely on the walls, illuminating the two people tightly embraced on the bed.

After using five "little raincoats" in succession, Chu Fengmian finally slowed down his movements. He was breathing heavily, his chest heaving violently, and he slowly released Shen Li, who had already become weak and limp in his arms, with charming eyes and was begging for mercy softly.

He stretched out his long arms and hugged Shen Li tightly in his arms again, as if he was afraid that she would disappear in the next second. Then, he gently turned his face and kissed her cheek. His movements were as gentle as a feather brushing. His voice was a bit lazy and satisfied. He slowly said: "Don't think I don't know. With your current physical condition, you won't feel tired even if I fight you for three days and three nights. We cultivators have physical fitness that is not comparable to that of ordinary people, but today, I will let you go for now." After that, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a doting smile. His chin rested lightly on the top of Shen Li's head, listening to her gradually steady breathing and feeling their heartbeats blending together.

Shen Li pouted slightly, like a kitten that was severely bullied by its owner, and said in a delicate voice: "What do you know! You, you always..." Her cheeks instantly flushed with an attractive blush, her eyes drooped, as if she was a little embarrassed, and her voice unconsciously lowered, "You've made me almost hoarse from shouting..." At this point, she gently hit Chu Fengmian's chest, her action full of anger, but also with an intimacy that could not be concealed.

Chu Fengmian couldn't help but laugh heartily after hearing Shen Li's words, his chest vibrating slightly, and the laughter was full of joy and satisfaction. After laughing, he lowered his head slightly, and his warm breath sprayed on Shen Li's ear, and asked softly: "I am actually a little curious, but since asking like this is not respectful to Zheng Jun, so..."

Shen Li looked up at him with doubts in her heart, her bright eyes filled with confusion. Chu Fengmian saw this and smiled mischievously. He leaned closer and whispered something in her ear.

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Li's face instantly turned red, like a ripe tomato, delicate and tempting. Embarrassed and annoyed, she gently hit Chu Fengmian's chest and said in feigned anger, "I forbid you to think or ask such questions! Absolutely not!"

Chu Fengmian couldn't hold back any longer when he saw her like this. He threw his head back and burst into laughter. His hearty laughter echoed throughout the hall. "Haha, with your reaction like this, you must have been secretly comparing yourself to others!"

Shen Li was both embarrassed and annoyed. She glared at Chu Fengmian with her beautiful eyes. There was a lot of reproach in her eyes, as if she was blaming him for speaking without restraint, but there was also a bit of indescribable coquettishness.

Chu Fengmian was quick to stop and quickly put away the smile on his face. His expression became extremely gentle. He reached out and gently tucked Shen Li's scattered hair behind her ear. He said softly, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it. Let's not talk about it. You are tired too. Go to sleep quickly. You have to get up early to attend the morning court tomorrow."

As he spoke, he pulled the quilt over and gently covered them both. Then he pulled Shen Li closer to him, letting her lean more comfortably. He placed a kiss on her forehead and closed his eyes, quietly enjoying this warm moment.
