Chapter 50: Delicate

Feng Bai Su carried Wei Jing Mo out of the Crown Princess’s mansion.

At this time, many noble husbands and young men had gathered at the gate.

When they saw Wei Jing Mo being carried out by Feng Bai Su, everyone’s gaze unconsciously gathered on them, with various expressions on their faces.

Feng Bai Su nodded in greeting to several of the Male Empress, then carried Wei Jing Mo onto the carriage and slowly moved forward.

Watching the direction the carriage left, the Crown Male Empress couldn’t help but sigh, “The Seventh Princess really cares about Minister Wei!”

His eyes couldn’t help but reveal a trace of envy.

Wei Jing Mo was indeed a lucky person!

Previously, everyone sympathized with him for marrying the notorious Seventh Princess, but as it turned out, the two got along very well after marriage.

Upon hearing the Crown Male Empress’s words, the Fourth Male Empress looked somewhat disdainful: “It’s just an ordinary banquet between men, yet he needs his wife-master to come pick him up. He’s really delicate!”

Though his words were contemptuous, a flash of jealousy passed through the depths of his eyes.

As a young man from a noble family, one should be dignified and proper. Seducing his wife-master to the point she can’t leave him, it’s just like those concubines fighting for favor, how could this be the behavior of a princess’s proper husband.

Thinking about how the Fourth Princess still couldn’t forget Wei Jing Mo until now, his heart was filled with jealousy and hatred!

Shen Ruo stood silently among the Male Empress with his eyes lowered, just quietly listening to their conversation.

He didn’t want to speak, but someone didn’t want him to escape.

Xu Kong Qing smiled and asked him as if casually, “I’ve heard that the Fifth Princess and the Fifth Brother-in-law have a very good relationship. Could it be that she’s also coming to pick up her brother-in-law today?”

As his words fell, the gazes of the other Male Empress also gathered on Shen Ruo.

Shen Ruo’s expression froze, his eyes slightly darkened. He raised his head and said calmly to Xu Kong Qing, “Thanks to the Emperor’s trust, Her Highness is busy with state affairs every day. As her proper husband, I should relieve her worries, how dare I trouble her with such trivial matters.”

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, his expression calm, the image of a virtuous husband.

Hearing this, Xu Kong Qing nodded with a smile, but that smile contained some profound meaning.

Shen Ruo’s words were proper and virtuous, but with Feng Bai Su’s earlier act of picking up Wei Jing Mo, these words seemed to have some deeper meaning.

It seems that the relationship between Shen Ruo and Wei Jing Mo is not as good as rumored.

—

After Feng Bai Su carried Wei Jing Mo onto the carriage and just loosened her arms, the little drunk in her embrace tightly hugged her waist again.

She sighed helplessly, and could only hold him sitting in her arms.

The carriage gently swayed as it moved forward, and Wei Jing Mo’s slightly drowsy mind became clear again.

He whimpered, blinking his hazy, drunk eyes and pouting his mouth somewhat pitifully.

Feng Bai Su took out a sobering pill and brought it to his lips. Seeing his pitiful appearance, she coaxed in a low, hoarse voice, “Come, eat this candy, and our Jing Mo won’t feel uncomfortable anymore.”

Wei Jing Mo obediently opened his mouth, and Feng Bai Su immediately pressed the sobering pill into his mouth.

As soon as the sobering pill entered his mouth, a clear bitter taste filled his entire oral cavity.

“The candy… not sweet.”

Wei Jing Mo immediately frowned, with a bitter face about to spit out the sobering pill in his mouth.

However, Feng Bai Su extended her slender index finger to press into his mouth, her action forceful, not allowing him to spit it out.

“Be good, it will be sweet in a moment.”

After a while, the sobering pill in Wei Jing Mo’s mouth still hadn’t turned sweet.

His misty eyes welled up with tears, the corners reddening, his mouth pouting as if about to cry golden beans.

“Liar…”

Seeing tears hanging at the corners of his eyes about to fall, Feng Bai Su clicked her tongue against her teeth, “So delicate? Looks like I’ll have to call you Wei Jiao Jiao from now on.”

Wei Jiao Jiao who became delicate after getting drunk.

Seeing the young master about to cry pitifully,

Feng Bai Su grasped his chin and lifted it, leaning down to press against his thin lips.

Her red lips parted slightly, her tongue tip forcefully pushing open Wei Jing Mo’s thin lips and invading.

After her tongue swept around his oral cavity, it finally curled around the sobering pill and left his mouth.

She panted lightly, slowly straightening up.

After the cool and bitter sobering pill swirled around in her mouth, she said in a slightly teasing hoarse voice, “Is it sweet now?”

Wei Jing Mo’s thin lips were still slightly parted. Hearing Feng Bai Su’s words, he replied foolishly, “…Not bitter anymore.”

After speaking, he closed his mouth and smacked his lips a few times.

Seeing his pure and tempting little appearance, Feng Bai Su’s breathing couldn’t help but become heavy. If it weren’t for the sobering pill still in her mouth, she almost couldn’t resist pressing against his lips and misbehaving again.

After returning to the mansion, Feng Bai Su uncomplainingly carried the little drunk in her arms inside.

She personally removed his clothes and washed his body before carrying him to the bed.

Bending over to tuck him in, she originally wanted to go out and ask Dong Qing and Dong Gua if anything had happened at the banquet today.

But just as she turned around, her sleeve was tightly gripped.

She turned back following the force, and saw Wei Jing Mo with a taut face flushed from alcohol, looking at her tightly: “Don’t leave.”

Feng Bai Su was already deeply experienced with his clinginess when drunk.

She paused in her steps and thought for a moment, then abandoned her previous idea, took off her outer robe and lay down in the blanket.

Stretching out her arm to hold him tightly, she whispered in his ear, “Alright, I won’t leave. Sleep now!”

—

The next morning, Wei Jing Mo frowned slightly and slowly opened his eyes.

He hissed lightly, pressing his heavy forehead as he sat up.

Turning his head to look around, seeing no one in the room, he called out with a slightly hoarse voice, “Dong Qing, Dong Gua…”

“Master, you’re awake!”

Dong Qing walked in carrying a bowl of hangover soup.

He quickly walked over and handed the hangover soup to him, “Master, please drink some, it will make you feel better.”

Wei Jing Mo took it from his hand and sipped it in small mouthfuls.

His head was fuzzy as he thought about yesterday’s events.

He remembered going to the Crown Male Empress’s winter banquet, then meeting Shen Ruo, then drinking some wine at the banquet, and finally…

Feng Bai Su’s face seemed to flash through his mind.

Wei Jing Mo’s movements paused, and he looked at Dong Qing and asked, “Did Her Highness come to pick me up yesterday?”

“In reply to Master, after you got drunk, it was Her Highness who carried you out of the Crown Princess’s mansion.”

Dong Qing carefully asked, “Do you not remember what happened after you got drunk?”

Wei Jing Mo: “…”

He only vaguely remembered throwing himself into Feng Bai Su’s arms, and seemed to have been clinging to her and not letting go.

A blush appeared on Wei Jing Mo’s pure jade-like face.

He couldn’t help but bite his thin lips.

Yesterday, he… hopefully didn’t do anything embarrassing?

Remembering that Feng Bai Su had specifically instructed him not to drink before leaving, Wei Jing Mo couldn’t help feeling a bit uneasy.

“Where is Her Highness?”

Dong Qing immediately replied, “Her Highness just went to the study, this servant has already sent Dong Gua to call Her Highness.”

Just as he finished speaking, there was movement at the door, and Feng Bai Su strode in.

Seeing this, Dong Qing bowed to the two and turned to leave.

Feng Bai Su saw Wei Jing Mo lowering his eyes as if avoiding her gaze, but the back of his ears couldn’t help turning slightly red.

A smile flashed very quickly through her enchanting peach blossom eyes, but her face deliberately remained expressionless as she said, “Since you’re awake, let’s settle accounts!”

Wei Jing Mo’s heart immediately skipped a beat.

His voice even trembled slightly, “Wh-what accounts?”

The smile in Feng Bai Su’s eyes deepened, but her tone was serious, “What accounts? What accounts does the young master think?”

Wei Jing Mo lowered his head and pursed his lips.

Seeing Feng Bai Su’s stern tone, he suddenly felt a bit wronged.

Why is she being so fierce?

His nose stung, and his eyes couldn’t help but redden.

He suddenly raised his head, “I don’t know!”

Wei Jing Mo glared fiercely, but met Feng Bai Su’s somewhat playful eyes.

He immediately reacted.

“You’re bullying me again!”

How can this person be so terrible! Why does she always like to tease him! So annoying!

Wei Jing Mo sniffled and glared at her fiercely, like a kitten with its fur standing on end. Milk-fierce milk-fierce.

Seeing that she had bullied him too much again, Feng Bai Su immediately softened her voice, “How did I bully you? I’m being very serious right now!”

She bent down slightly and pinched his cheeks, tugging them.

“Didn’t I tell you not to drink? Why are you so disobedient, hm?”

Wei Jing Mo instantly deflated, his mouth twitching, “…I’ll never drink again.”

But Feng Bai Su just snorted lightly and tugged again, “Say it louder.”

“I’ll never drink again!”

“Will you be obedient in the future?”

“I will!”

“Will you still treat my words as wind passing your ears?”

“I wouldn’t dare!”

“Will you still say I’m bullying you?”

“You… you were bullying me in the first place.”

Wei Jing Mo couldn’t help but puff up his cheeks, almost falling for her trick.

Seeing his alert little appearance, Feng Bai Su clicked her tongue lightly. With a bit of mischief, she rubbed his cheeks again until they turned red, only then did she withdraw her hand satisfactorily.

Wei Jing Mo covered his sore cheeks, and when Feng Bai Su wasn’t paying attention, he secretly glared at her again.

After their playful interaction, Feng Bai Su sat on the edge of the bed and asked about yesterday’s events: “Did anything happen at the banquet yesterday?”

Hearing this, Wei Jing Mo’s mood momentarily sank.

Thinking of Shen Ruo’s cold and distant attitude yesterday, he felt a bit upset.

“Nothing…”

However, Feng Bai Su noticed his brief dejection and raised an eyebrow: “Really?”

Wei Jing Mo: “Really, nothing happened.”

He lowered his eyelids slightly, hiding the emotions swirling in his eyes.

Seeing that he didn’t want to talk about it, Feng Bai Su didn’t push him, only saying softly, “If you’re bored staying in the mansion, you can go visit the Sixth Princess’s residence. The Sixth Brother-in-law is currently in confinement after childbirth, you can go chat with him if you’re bored.”

Wei Jing Mo nodded, “Alright.”

“Does your head still hurt?”

“It’s much better.”

“Then finish this hangover soup while it’s still warm.”

Feng Bai Su picked up the hangover soup that had been set aside and brought it to his lips, spoonful by spoonful.

Wei Jing Mo glanced at her and obediently opened his mouth, drinking it sip by sip.

Seeing her gentle and attentive gaze, his long, thick eyelashes trembled slightly.
