Checking The Goods

While Prince Jin carried Feng Xi to his courtyard she had fallen asleep in his arms. He, himself was lost in thought. He had no idea that Imperial Concubine Yun was trying to gain control over the Imperial Army. If she did she could easily stage a coupe. This was the reason why control of the army was never allowed to be in Imperial hands. Only those with the command token were able to command the military and the reason why it was hereditary. The only exception to this rule was those who married into the Imperial Family.

After thinking for a while, Prince Jin turned to Eunuch Li: "Call Father Emperor and explain to him what is going on. He needs to know. In the reports we got, none of this was mentioned."

"Right away your Highness!" Eunuch Li walked a bit away and made his call.

Imperial Palace…

In a large luxurious room in the back of the palace, in a large extravagant canopy bed lay a man sound asleep with a young woman wrapped up in his arms. Next to his bed a cell phone suddenly rang disturbing the peaceful silence of the room. The man in the bed's eyes shot open hearing the ring tone and tossed the young woman in his arms aside causing her to roll right out of the bed and on to the floor with a loud thud.

"Your Majesty!?" The young woman yelled only to be ignored.

Emperor Tian ignored the young woman's question and quickly answered the phone with a smile on his face. "Jin'er you have called us so late! What is it that you need from us?"

"Your Majesty I am calling in the Prince's stead." Eunuch Li replied.

Hearing this Emperor Tian knew there was something going on. He glanced over to the young woman climbing back into the bed. She had just sat back on the bed when Emperor Tian suddenly yanked up on the blankets and sheets causing the girl to lose her balance and fall face first back onto the floor. She yelled out in pain but she got no sympathy and only two words in response. "Get Out!"

The young woman turned her head and wanted to say something but facing the cold glare from the Emperor she quickly gathered her things and ran out of the room. Seeing the young woman leave Emperor Tian finally said: "Tell us."

Eunuch Li explained everything that happened in detail. Emperor Tian listened all the way to the end until he finally exploded. "They dare try to do such a thing to our future daughter in law!? Tell Jin'er, we will look into Concubine Yun. As of now we only have the word of one person. Unless we have solid evidence we can not make a move on her yet. If she is smart she would have covered her tracks well. By using both the Jiang and Tang family she is basically washing her hands of everything if something goes wrong and if it goes right she reaps all the benefits. She is truly a vicious woman, she would even implicate her own family knowing none of it would trace back to her." Letting out a long sigh Emperor Tian gazed up at the ceiling. He wondered why those of the Imperial family were always scheming against each other. But he couldn't fault them since he had done the same.

"Tell Jin'er we will call him tomorrow and tell him to take care of his little wife. I wish to see her in one piece by the time school is over. Also… Never mind..." Emperor Tian wanted to say that he wanted to see his grandchild soon but then he remembered their age and that they were not married yet. It never crossed his mind that they had only been together for a short time.

Heavens Fall Academy...

Feng Xi had woken up by the time they had reached Prince Jin's courtyard. She did not get down from Prince Jin's embrace until she was gently set upon his bed. Only then did she let go and strip down to her underwear not caring if Prince Jin was in the room or not. She climbed right into the bed and fell back asleep. Only adjusting her position when Prince Jin had pulled her back into his embrace.

The next morning Feng Xi woke first. She was startled at first when she found herself in Prince Jin's embrace but did not scream or push away, instead, she snuggled into it a bit more to get warm. She reached up with her hand and gently touched Prince Jin's chest. She gently caressed it following the creases of his well defined muscles. She traced her fingers all the way to his perfect abs. She found his belly button and began to play with it. Sneaking a peek up at Prince Jin's sleeping face, Feng Xi became a bit more daring and slipped a finger on the waistband of his boxers and stretched it out to take a peek.

"Mhm… Not bad, not bad..." Feng Xi mumbled to herself only to freeze when she heard a deep melodic voice whisper into her ear. "If Xi'er wishes this prince can just sleep nude from now on. This way you can look to your heart's content."

Feng Xi's face turned a shade of crimson as she quickly pulled her hand back up and looked at the handsome face and deep dark eyes looking back at her. Trying to play it off Feng Xi said: "I was just checking to make sure the photo and the goods were the same. As your future wife, I deserve to know what will be getting stuck into my body!" After saying this she snuggled back down into Prince Jin's embrace not daring to look back up at him.

Prince Jin did not say anything, he just leaned his head down and kissed the top of her head. He was wishing they could grow up a little faster, that way his little wife can jump his bones any time she wants.
