Chapter 142 Going Undercover
In fact, Chu Ci did not discover the matter of the Eighth Princess through Yu Chi Yun's youngest son; she had already learned from He Bao Bao that the Eighth Princess would be the final winner.
As for Yu Chi Yun's youngest son, she only discovered him by chance one night when she was idly keeping watch at the Eighth Princess's residence, and she just happened to use him as an excuse this time.
Today, Chu Ci is acting this way simply because she wants to end her conversation with Yu Chi Yun as soon as possible so that she can go home and be with her husband.
After discussing for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the two finally finalized the plan for Chu Ci to go to the Sixth Princess's residence as an undercover agent.
Chu Ci readily agreed, which was perfect since she disliked the Crown Princess.
After everything was settled, Chu Ci got up from the carriage, mounted his horse, and galloped away like an arrow, heading straight for his own residence.
As she pushed open the door, a familiar figure rushed towards her like a bird in flight.
Upon seeing this, Chu Ci quickly reached out and caught him, holding him tightly in his arms.
She gently stroked Shi An's back and softly comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'm back. You must have been waiting anxiously. Something happened in the palace."
Like a spoiled kitten, Shi An gently nuzzled Chu Ci's cheek, "I've been waiting for you for so long~"
Looking at Shi An's slightly aggrieved expression, Chu Ci's heart softened, and she asked softly, "Have you eaten?"
"Not yet... By the way, how is His Majesty?"
"nothing."
Chu Ci answered simply, and at the same time reached out and gently took Shi An's hand, and together they walked towards the kitchen.
As soon as Chu Ci entered the kitchen, her gaze fell on the few untouched buns on the table. She couldn't help but sigh and said helplessly, "Aren't you hungry? Why aren't you eating?"
Upon hearing this, Shi An's large, watery eyes immediately welled up with tears, and he mumbled, "I want to eat with my wife."
Chu Ci seemed to have anticipated Shi An's answer. She smiled slightly, then suddenly turned to the side and placed a gentle kiss on Shi An's cheek.
"Alright, let's eat together. I'm hungry too." Chu Ci quickly reheated the buns and steamed a few sweet potatoes as well.
Shi An followed closely behind Chu Ci like a little tail, helping to hand him a bowl, get him a pair of chopsticks, and so on. Although they were all small things, he did them very seriously.
Chu Ci carefully peeled the sweet potato skin and handed the sweet potato flesh to Shi An.
Shi An happily accepted it, savoring it bite by bite, her face beaming with a blissful smile, a stark contrast to her previous gloomy demeanor.
Chu Ci devoured ten steamed buns in a flash, then drank two bowls of porridge before finally putting down his chopsticks with satisfaction.
Meanwhile, Shi An had already finished eating and was sitting quietly to the side, staring intently at his wife without the slightest impatience.
Shi An had only one thought in his mind: His wife was so beautiful, he could never get enough of looking at her.
After they finished eating, the two of them cleaned up the dishes together.
While washing the dishes, Chu Ci mentioned her promotion to Shi An.
Upon hearing this, Shi An was overjoyed and exclaimed excitedly, "My wife is truly amazing! Rank three! That's incredible!"
Chu Ci's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. She took the bowl from Shi An, gently wiped it with a clean cloth, and then asked softly, "Should we move to a bigger house? And buy some more servants?"
Shi An shook her head without hesitation, "I don't want to. I love this little home we live in now. It's not big, but it's very cozy. It's just you and me here, and there's no one else to bother us. I think it's perfect."
He absolutely loved his current life; it was just him and Chu Ci, undisturbed—it was wonderful.
He couldn't handle one more person.
"Okay, whatever you say." Chu Ci didn't care, as long as Shi An was by her side.
The man's lips curled into a slight smile. He turned slightly to the side and gently kissed Chu Ci's cheek, saying softly, "Thank you, my wife. You are so kind."
Chu Ci smiled along with her, and in the warm orange light, love flowed quietly.
As night deepened, the two prepared to turn off the lights and go to bed.
Like a well-behaved kitten, Shi An gently climbed into Chu Ci's arms, then slowly approached her lips and gently kissed her.
Chu Ci felt a ticklish sensation from this sudden display of intimacy and couldn't help but open her eyes.
By the moonlight, she looked at Shi An's adorable appearance and couldn't help but chuckle. She raised her hand and gently patted his bottom, saying, "Stop fooling around."
Seeing this, Shi An pouted, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied. He didn't stop there, but instead stuck out his tongue and licked Chu Ci's ear, asking in a coquettish voice, "My lady, shall we not make love tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Ci hugged Shi An even tighter: "Let's rest tonight."
"But I don't want to rest." Shi An persisted relentlessly, her small hands restlessly caressing Chu Ci's body, trying to arouse Chu Ci's desire.
However, Chu Ci remained unmoved and firmly refused, saying, "No, your body hasn't fully recovered yet."
Seeing Chu Ci's persistence, Shi An was somewhat displeased, but he did not give up. Instead, he wrapped his arms around Chu Ci's neck even more tightly, licked her lips lightly with his tongue, and said coquettishly, "It's okay, my wife, I really want to."
Chu Ci sighed helplessly. To be honest, she had gone too far last night. She even knew Shi An better than he did.
Shi An will need at least three days to recover.
Today was definitely not an option, so she resolutely refused again: "No, I want to sleep quietly."
"Humph!"
Shi An couldn't help but let out a soft snort to express her dissatisfaction. She even bit Chu Ci's chin hard before turning away in a huff, ignoring her completely.
Chu Ci was both amused and exasperated by the bite. Looking at Shi An's sullen back, she reached out and gently stroked his hair, coaxing him softly, "Okay, don't be angry anymore. Go to sleep. I have to get up early for my shift tomorrow."
Upon hearing the words "on duty," Shi An's tightly furrowed brows furrowed slightly. She turned around, looked at Chu Ci, and asked, "Does your position require you to be in the palace most of the time?"
Chu Ci nodded and replied, "Mm."
Shi An pouted, even more unhappy, and like a sulking kitten, moved to the inside of the bed, deliberately keeping a certain distance from Chu Ci.
Upon seeing this, Chu Ci merely raised an eyebrow and did not react much, lying quietly.
However, not long after, Shi An couldn't hold back any longer. Like a gust of wind, she suddenly pounced on Chu Ci, hugged her tightly, and even lightly slapped Chu Ci while muttering, "You heartless bastard, you don't even know how to coax me!"
Chu Ci smiled, gently pulled the man into her arms, and mischievously pinched his bottom: "Alright, baby, don't you know how much I love you? Do I need to say more?"
Upon hearing Chu Ci's words, Shi An smiled sheepishly, pressed her face tightly against Chu Ci's neck, and rubbed it against him vigorously.
"My lady, let's live a good life together."
Chu Ci gently kissed Shi An on the forehead, "I've always been living a good life with you."
The man took a deep breath of his wife's fragrance, closed his eyes contentedly, and, embracing her warm and soft body, slowly drifted off to sleep.
