Chapter 116 - I Will Obey My Wangfei
With wide eyes, Yi Huiqing was looking down at her fingers. Her eyes were filled with shock seeing the red color on them.
She raised her head slowly and saw that the red mark on Zhao Zhang Wei's cheek was now a bit spoiled.
"So you intentionally put it on your cheek."
She whispered but felt a little ridiculous.
On the other hand, Zhao Zhang Wei's whole body had stilled after he had seen the red color on Yi Huiqing's hand.
What would she think about him?
Such a childish act it was, he thought.
Her whisper made him feel lower.
However, when he saw how her eyes were filled with anger, those feelings left and a smile emerged on his lips.
"You…You were fooling me all the time."
Yi Huiqing stood up and glared at Zhao Zhang Wei while pointing her finger at him. She was furious.
Just how many bowls of medicinal porridges has she eaten because of the guilt of hitting him?
Whenever she tried to refuse, her sight would fell on the red and five fingerprints on his face making her shut her mouth and she would obediently open her mouth and eat whatever he made her eat.
Now looking at the man in front of her, it could be also possible that he intentionally flaunted the mark in front of her to make her feel guilty.
Of course, Zhao Zhang Wei did it intentionally. For the past few days, he was busy with some things so he could not visit Liang Courtyard more often. He would only come at the mealtime to make sure that Yi Huiqing was having her dinner on the time.
On the first day, he had seen her refusing to eat the medicinal porridge. Then, seeing Yi Huiqing's obedience after she had slapped him gave him this idea.
Now seeing his angry and shocked Wangfei, Zhao Zhang Wei suddenly felt a bit delighted. This Huiqing was different from that Yi Huiqing whose language only included 'This Wangfei', 'Wangye'.
He smiled provocatively and said
"Yes, and I made you fool for a whole week. I have never known that my wangfei is so foolish."
He smiled widely and continued seeing Yi Huiqing's red face.
"Foolish enough to think that the mark left by a slap would last this long; especially with your little strength."
The mark had started to fade away after a few hours and till the time he had to attend the Imperial Court, it had disappeared completely.
Zhao Zhang Wei thought he would have rolled on the ground with laughter if he didn't have such an amazing control because Yi Huiqing looked so funny and cute at that time.
Her fists were clenched and her lips were a little puckered up. Although she was trying to glare at him he only found her big black wide eyes a little funny.
All in all, she looked ready to pounce on him.
As time passed by and Zhao Zhang Wei stared into her eyes his gaze suddenly started to become hot. He suddenly wanted to squeeze Yi Huiqing's cheeks tightly and kiss her everywhere.
Realizing the change in his body, he squirmed to find a comfortable position and cleared his throat. His voice was a little deep and husky as he said seriously.
"Sit and finish this porridge else it'll get cold. After that, you have all the time to fight with me."
He stirred the porridge with the spoon.
Even Yi Huiqing realized that her behavior was a little presumptuous.
She sat down obediently but frowned when she saw the porridge. She looked at it with disgust and said
"Wangye, this wangfei is fine now so there is no need to eat this porridge."
Zhao Zhang Wei sighed thinking that now they were back to this Wangye and Wangfei.
He filled the spoon and forwarded it to her lips. Seeing her cute frown and not opening her lips, he smiled gently and couldn't help but pat her head after putting the bowl on a nearby table.
"Just eat it today nicely, okay? Then tomorrow, I'll not force you."
He used 'I' instead of 'This Prince' hoping that Yi Huiqing would also leave the use of these formalities and honorifics.
Yi Huiqing, of course, was shocked seeing his gentle behavior. Her mouth even parted a little as she remembered that Zhao Zhang Wei seems to have come to her courtyard more often now.
What was the reason?
Her thinking was disrupted when she felt the bitter taste in her mouth.
The consciousness of being a Wangfei to a Prince left again as she tried to vomit out the bitter porridge but heard Zhao Zhang Wei's dangerous phoenix eyes instantly.
"If you dared to do I am thinking then I will stuff all this porridge in your mouth in my own special way."
She surely knew what his special ways were. So crying inside her heart, she gulped the bitter porridge.
So the bowl was emptied with the help of threats and coaxing in the end.
After the porridge was finished, Zhao Zhang Wei put the bowl in the tray and searched his sleeve. A moment later, he took out something and presented it in front of Yi Huiqing
"Here"
Yi Huiqing looked at the wrapped sweet candies in her husband's palm. For a moment, she seemed to be in a daze.
Was he roaming around the place keeping these candies in his sleeve?
Was he not afraid of being mocked if someone found out?
Seeing the stupid look on her face, Zhao Zhang Wei shook his head and unwrapped a sweet candy, and forwarded it to her lips.
Yi Huiqing silently opened her mouth and sighed at the sweet taste of the candy. It reduced some bitterness.
Her eyes went immediately bright with a satisfaction which made Zhao Zhang Wei chuckle.
Was satisfying her so easy?
This brightness he had seen in other concubines' eyes when they got some precious jewelry and were promoted and she was so happy because of small candy.
"Is it sweet?"
Yi Huiqing hummed and then said politely
"Wangye should also try some?"
However, her words held a different meaning for Zhao Zhang Wei.
"Oh, Really?"
Yi Huiqing hummed again with closed eyes enjoying the sweet taste.
Anyways he had so many candies, he could also try one, however, she was not sure whether he would like it or not.
Yi Huiqing shrugged but suddenly gasped when she opened her eyes and saw the magnificent and enlarged face in front of herself.
"Okay, then I will obey my Wangfei."
Zhao Zhang Wei whispered and then sealed those soft lips that he wanted to kiss for so many days leaving Yi Huiqing to look at him with wide eyes.
