My elder sister forced me to become a concubine; I was reborn and remarried into the emperor's

Wei Nanxun did not believe that men could have scars but women could not, just as she never thought that because she was beautiful, she was superior to others or more likely to receive favor and preferential treatment.

On the contrary, appearance is just something to please oneself, and one should not define a person's character and virtue by beauty or ugliness.

For example, does the scar mean Pei Ji will stop liking her? Or will the scar cause Pei Ji to fall in love with someone else?

If that's really the case, it only means she loved the wrong person. This person was only attracted to her appearance, and sooner or later her beauty will fade.

Losing his love was inevitable, and knowing it before the wedding was actually a good thing.

As for her using her hands to cover herself, it was simply an instinctive reaction of being too shy.

She had expected that Pei Ji wouldn't care about those scars, after all, she knew his character, but she never imagined that he would be so tender as to kiss her wounds.

Dr. You's ointment is indeed very effective. Many small cuts scabbed over the next day, and even the deeper ones stopped bleeding and started to heal quickly.

Even the most effective medicine is not a miracle cure, and besides, the wounds on her legs and feet were ugly, and the healed skin was pinkish, which she herself found somewhat repulsive.

Pei Ji didn't find it disgusting at all, and even kissed him.

"Then, then don't kiss me either, it's dirty."

Although the people of the Great Yan Dynasty are more open-minded due to the influence of their ancestors being military generals, the hierarchy between men and women remains unchanged.

Even before marriage, the idea of ​​obeying one's father and after marriage is deeply ingrained. At home, the father is the head of the household, and after marriage, the husband becomes the head of the household.

It is a woman's duty to serve her husband and take care of his daily needs. I have only ever heard of virtuous and meticulous wives.

But I've never heard of any head of household serving his wife tea and water, not minding her sickly and haggard appearance, and taking care of her.

Just as a father might draw a mother's eyebrows but never wash her feet.

If ordinary families are like this, how much more so for Pei Ji.

He is the absolute and supreme regent of the Great Yan.

"You don't have to go to this extent."

Wei Nanxun couldn't cover her wound and couldn't stop his actions, so she could only cover her eyes instead.

She was afraid she would lose control and cry.

Pei Ji ignored what she was saying, and simply held her leg, gently stroking the wound again and again: "Does it hurt?"

Wei Nanxun sniffed. When others asked, she could laugh and say it didn't hurt anymore, but when he asked, it felt like she could confide in him without having to pretend.

She nodded gently, then shook her head: "It used to hurt, but it doesn't hurt anymore. It's a little itchy when you touch it like this."

Pei Ji remained silent for a long while before saying in a hoarse voice, "But it hurts."

He would rather be the one who gets hurt than let her suffer like this.

Just thinking about how she proudly said that she rode the blazing sun all the way from day to night and then to dawn, made his heart ache so much that he couldn't breathe.

If he had known she would be so badly injured, he would have tied her to his body rather than leave her alone in the palace.

Wei Nanxun understood what he meant this time; he was worried about her.

That's enough.

She knew she hadn't loved the wrong person, and that all the pain she had suffered was worthwhile.

"I wasn't able to help much."

Even if she hadn't arrived, Pei Ji had already sensed the ambush and devised a countermeasure. On the contrary, her arrival might have alerted Pei Yuyan.

She was terrified, but thankfully the plan wasn't affected; otherwise, she would have felt extremely guilty.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Nanxun felt an itch on his waist and instinctively flinched.

It was his hands that were causing the trouble.

She whispered, sounding aggrieved, "It's so itchy."

"Who told you to talk nonsense? If you say it again, I'll scratch you."

Wei Nanxun pouted, thinking that this person was really unreasonable; everything she said was true.

“If it weren’t for your earlier dream that reminded me, I wouldn’t have noticed the problem in the valley. If you hadn’t arrived in time to inform Ji Yun, and he hadn’t come to our aid, our plan wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.”

He paused for a moment, then gently stroked her face with his palm.

"You are important."

"It's very important to me, at least."

Wei Nanxun's heart skipped a beat. She wrapped herself in his robe and buried her head in his chest.

"You are too, very important."

It was so important that she could forget the pain and even life and death, and she had to rush over to see him no matter what.

The two locked eyes, and Wei Nanxun suddenly felt something hit her thigh, so hot it seemed to be steaming.

Before she could react, Pei Ji had already stood up abruptly and hastily wrapped her in the blankets.

She belatedly realized what it was, and her face flushed red.

It's all his fault for being too gentle; he made her forget the ambiguous atmosphere between them.

Once things calmed down a bit, Pei Ji said with dark eyes, "Don't worry, I won't touch you."

He paused, then added, "It's not time yet."

Because she is so important, he will give her the best and will never allow anyone to hurt her, including himself.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated when "this time" meant, Wei Nanxun understood that he wanted to marry her.

"Then why are you still like this..."

That's how you treat her.

However, what she was about to say was too embarrassing for her to say.

Her face flushed, she wrapped herself completely in the blankets, leaving only her clear black and white eyes showing.

Pei Ji felt a tickle in his heart again; she was just too adorable, no wonder he couldn't resist.

He was usually very composed, but it was rare for him to show such youthful anger. He said in a lighthearted tone, "I've been called a hooligan, so if I don't do something, wouldn't it be a waste of the insults?"

Wei Nanxun then remembered the string of candied hawthorns that he had thrown away.

He climbed in through the window, he really did come to deliver something to her, but unfortunately he ran into her taking a shower.

Even though she knew she had misunderstood him at first, she knew he wasn't innocent later on, and she didn't want to argue with him about it anymore, so she quickly changed the subject, saying, "You, you go and get the clothes I hung on the stool."

Such a shy and adorable Wei Nanxun is a rare sight, so to avoid being unable to resist, I went over and retrieved the clothes.

Seeing the breast wrap piled on top, he frowned, put down the clothes, and tossed the breast wrap aside.

"Don't use this anymore, it's uncomfortable."

Besides, she doesn't look like a man at all; what kind of handsome young man could be so good-looking?

Wei Nanxun quickly pulled her clothes into the bedding and said to him, "Turn around."

Pei Ji loved teasing her the most. Seeing her blushing face, he found her especially adorable. He didn't turn his back, but just stared at her calmly.

"It's not like I've never seen it before."

That's not wrong; the two had already been completely honest with each other when they first met.

In response, he was met with a pillow thrown at his face.

This main room belongs to Pei Ji, and the pillow is naturally his too. He likes to sleep on a jade pillow, and what was thrown at him this time was a hard piece of jade.

Fortunately, he was agile and reacted quickly enough, otherwise, such a blow would have hurt.

Hearing the dull thud of the jade pillow hitting the floor, Pei Ji's lips curled up. This rabbit had been pushed to its limit and was about to bite.

But he liked this slightly wild little rabbit.

When Wei Nanxun came out after changing his clothes, the tall figure was no longer in the room. Although he said he didn't need to use a chest wrap, since they weren't in the capital, it was still best to be careful.

She was still wearing a simple crescent-colored robe, with her long, tangled hair tied up, looking every bit like a pampered young master from a wealthy family.

She opened the door, and Green Lotus finally came in.

Seeing the water stains and mess on the ground, I had the illusion that my house had been burgled.

But seeing that her wife was perfectly fine, she dismissed it as her own overthinking.

Wei Nanxun sat on the couch by the window drinking tea. Seeing that Lü Fu's expression was natural, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. Even if that person didn't go out of the house but climbed out of the window, shouldn't they have come back through the front door?

Could it be that he came to see her once and then went back to the city?

Or perhaps she lost it because of that pillow she threw away...
