After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Thinking that he was so tall and had to sleep on a short couch all night, she suddenly couldn't bear it and couldn't help but said: "If you..."

"It's getting late, go to sleep."

The man's cold voice interrupted her.

When Qiao Jingjing heard this, she had no choice but to give up.

Maybe he's not used to sleeping in the same bed as others.

Otherwise, he would not have preferred to lay on the floor in the past few times.

Thinking of this, she closed her eyes in peace.

In the darkness of the room, Lu Xingzhi listened to the girl's soft breathing and lay down on the couch.

Early the next morning, the group continued on their way.

Because she slept well last night, Qiao Jingjing seemed particularly energetic that day.

She was eating melon seeds and looking at the scenery outside the window.

But at the same time, she also noticed that Lu Xingzhi's spirit didn't look very good.

He changed his habit of reading as soon as he got in the car and actually leaned against the car wall to catch up on his sleep.

Seeing this, Qiao Jingjing thought of him sleeping on the low couch last night.

She couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

If he hadn't given up the bed to her, he wouldn't have wronged himself so much.

Thinking of the fact that she rested on his thigh yesterday, she couldn't help but patted her leg and said generously: "Husband, you can lie down and sleep, and I will give you my leg to rest on."

Lu Xingzhi heard this and raised his eyelids to look at her.

Seeing her serious face, he paused and shook his head, "No, I'm not sleepy."

When Qiao Jingjing heard this, she looked at him with disbelief.

If he wasn't sleepy, would he sleep as soon as he got in the car?
"Are you afraid that I won't be able to bear your weight? Don't worry, I will definitely be able to bear it."

When Lu Xingzhi saw this, he looked at her deeply, curled his lips and said, "Why is Madam so strong?"

Qiao Jingjing said seriously: "At least I have been used to farm work since I was a child. I still have some strength."

Hearing this, Lu Xingzhi looked at her thoughtfully, "As far as I know, my wife has rarely done any work since she was a child. My father-in-law did it all by himself."

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

She coughed softly and forced her respect, "Then at least I am from the countryside. I have traveled all over the mountains and fields since I was a child. I am not a pampered rich lady who does nothing."

"What Madam said is true." Lu Xingzhi nodded in approval.

But Qiao Jingjing could hear that there was some perfunctoriness in his words.

She said a little bitterly, "Then lie down quickly."

"Thank you madam for your kindness. I'm not sleepy." Lu Xingzhi shook his head.

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

Okay, it's her who's troublesome.

She hummed softly and turned to look outside.

Because they had to catch up with their schedule, the carriage was traveling very fast.

If they can get to the post house before dark, everyone will rest there for the night and continue their journey the next day.

Sometimes if they didn't arrive at the inn before dark, the group would spend the night in the wild.

After traveling for several days, the group failed to reach the inn before dark, so they planned to sleep outdoors for one night.

When I went to the capital before, I also slept in the wild, so Qiao Jingjing was used to it.

At that time, she was in a carriage with Mother Lu and others, and now she was with Lu Xingzhi.

However, the carriage is spacious and can actually be slept on with a quilt.

But Lu Xingzhi still let her sleep in the carriage.

Seeing that the man was about to go down, Qiao Jingjing thought that he had not had much rest during the past few days of traveling, so she couldn't help but reached out and pulled his sleeve, "Husband... we can actually sleep together."

Lu Xingzhi was startled.

Qiao Jingjing loosened his sleeves, patted the soft quilt and said, "It's spacious enough. It's better than sleeping outside. It's cold outside and the floor is hard."

Lu Xingzhi's eyes fell on her sincere little face, and after a long time, he said "hmm".

Qiao Jingjing's face relaxed and she quickly moved to the side. Lu Xingzhi lay down next to her.

Traveling is tiring, especially riding in a carriage for several days.

But Qiao Jingjing didn't feel sleepy at all at this time.

She found it very novel.

They had been married for so long, and the first time they truly slept together was in a carriage.

Lu Xingzhi was not at peace at this time.

He put one hand behind his head, listening to the slightly suffocated breathing of the woman beside him, and suddenly felt a little restless in his heart.

This is an experience I have never had before.

After a long time, he suddenly sighed, turned around, looked at the girl next to him and said, "If Madam is not sleepy, we can play something else."

"Do you want to play something else?" Qiao Jingjing looked at him slowly.

"Yeah." Lu Xingzhi nodded.

"What are you playing with?" Looking at the man's handsome face so close to her, Qiao Jingjing suddenly became nervous and stuttered when speaking.

Lu Xingzhi tried his best to ignore the delicate smell coming from the girl, and whispered, "Do you have your playing cards?"

"Ah?" Qiao Jingjing was stunned, looking at him with her beautiful eyes in confusion.

"I mean, we can play cards for a while first." Lu Xingzhi explained.

"Oh." Qiao Jingjing blinked, unable to tell whether she was relieved or a little disappointed.

She sat up with a sigh, then rummaged through it and took out the playing cards.

Lu Xingzhi also slowly sat up, "Are you still playing catch the turtle?"

Qiao Jingjing shook her head, "Let's play another one today."

"How to play?" Lu Xingzhi asked.

Qiao Jingjing divided the cards into two parts and said: "This kind of thing is called fishing. Each of us divides half of the cards, and then plays the cards in order and arranges them in a long column. Whoever plays the card matches the one in the long column above. If a card is the same, you can collect all the cards between the two cards. At the end of the game, whoever has the most cards wins."

"Okay." Lu Xingzhi understood after hearing it once.

Seeing that he understood, Qiao Jingjing gave him half of the assigned cards.

Lu Xingzhi took it and before playing the cards, he suddenly asked: "What are you going to bet on this time?"

"Ah?" Qiao Jingjing was stunned.

"Last time, my wife lost to me and promised to cook for me, but she never did it." Lu Xingzhi said calmly.

Qiao Jingjing felt extremely guilty when she thought about the "debt" she owed.

She coughed lightly and promised: "When I go back, I will definitely cook and cook for you. This time, there is no need to add a bonus, right? Let's just have fun."

"Okay." Lu Xingzhi agreed with good temper.

Qiao Jingjing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly played a card, followed immediately by Lu Xingzhi, who also played a card.

Although this fishing method is very simple, it is very energy-consuming.

Because the cards played can be withdrawn, that is, they can be reused as long as they have the same cards.

The two fought until midnight, but the game could not end.

However, Lu Xingzhi's hand had more cards than Qiao Jingjing's, so he won.

Qiao Jingjing yawned, "Husband, please don't come tonight. I want to sleep."

"Okay." Lu Xingzhi responded, took the cards in her hand and put them aside.

He was about to lie down when he suddenly heard Qiao Jingjing say hesitantly: "Husband, I..."

"What's wrong?" Lu Xingzhi asked.

"I, I want to go for a while." Qiao Jingjing was a little embarrassed.

Lu Xingzhi paused, understood, and said warmly: "I'll go with you."

Qiao Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief, "Yeah."

In the wilderness, if it was convenient, she could only go to the grass. She would not dare to go alone.

If Lu Xingzhi didn't accompany her, she would have no choice but to find Qingyuan and Mallow to accompany her.

The two maids were riding in another carriage and should have taken a rest by now.
