My wife is a concubine - Chapter 12

Bergman’s bath soap was special. It wasn’t the kind most people used — it was made from lavender she found in the mountains of Tong’an County. There were only two bottles in total, one for her sister and one for herself, so she used it carefully.

She took a small crystal bottle from her makeup box and opened the lid. “This is lavender oil,” she said. “You recognize this smell, right?”

Du Yu sniffed it and nodded.

The scent was strong since she held it close. He wasn’t surprised — Bergman always liked to make new and unusual things. She was curious and kind, very different from the cold and cunning people he grew up with in the palace.

Then Bergman asked, a bit shyly, “Prince… does your body still… work?”

She didn’t mean to insult him. She had heard that Du Yu was poisoned when he was young. The imperial doctors saved him, but the poison damaged his body forever. He could live like a normal man, but he would always be weak and cold.

Du Yu’s eyes flashed, and he leaned close. “You’ll find out soon enough,” he said. “Don’t doubt me — my medical skills aren’t fake.”

Men don’t like to be told they can’t do something. If he had survived poison and made it all the way to North Vietnam, he was obviously strong enough.

The people who poisoned him thought he would die on the way, but he didn’t. When he found out who they were, he took revenge quietly — he poisoned them too, with something colorless and tasteless.

Du Yu knew he wouldn’t live long or have children. That was enough punishment for him to give back.

Bergman, however, thought differently. She felt sorry for him. With poison in his body, doing anything physical must have been painful. Even as a prince, his life wasn’t as happy as an ordinary person’s.

But Du Yu still had desires — he wasn’t a saint. After being rejected by the princess, he hadn’t touched another woman. Now that he had Bergman, someone he truly liked, he didn’t want to hold back anymore.

He pushed Bergman gently onto the bed. Her black hair spread out like clouds over the red silk sheets, her skin white and soft under the light.

He smiled. “Let me show you I’m fine.”

He untied the belt of her robe and revealed her pink corset. Then, without waiting, he took it off and kissed her skin.

Bergman blushed deeply and tried to hide, but he pulled her close.

“Kiss me,” he whispered.

She laughed quietly at how boyish he suddenly seemed, but still did as he said.

Then the candles went out, leaving only the moonlight shining through the curtains. That night, they truly became husband and wife.

Time passed quickly. Spring came quietly to North Vietnam — people noticed only when tiny green shoots appeared from the ground.

Du Yu had brought in new seeds from other places and taught farmers how to use them. As the snow melted, farmers began plowing and planting again.

Trade was growing too. Bergman’s dyeing and weaving workshops gave people more jobs and income. Du Yu also started building roads and water systems, showing that he cared about the people.

One day, a guest arrived — Prince Du Jin, Du Yu’s seventh brother.

He had a round face and smiled like a happy Buddha. Du Yu remembered him as very fat and lazy, but now he looked slimmer and more graceful.

“Fifth brother, it’s been a long time,” Du Jin said with a grin, sitting down on his special large chair.

Du Yu didn’t smile. “Why are you here?”

Du Jin waved his hand. “I won’t stay long. I came to ask for your help again.”

When they were younger, Du Jin had been bullied in the palace. Once, the servants refused to help him bathe, leaving him helpless. Then Du Yu’s servant Lao Jiu came, fired those servants, and gave Du Jin medicine to lose weight — along with harsh advice: “Don’t live like a pig.”

It was Du Yu who had helped him back then.

“I don’t remember helping you,” Du Yu said coldly.

Du Jin just laughed. “It’s fine — I remember.”

Du Yu frowned. “Say what you came for.”

Du Jin leaned closer. “Do you know what’s happening in the capital?”

“I read the reports,” Du Yu replied.

Du Jin shook his head. “Those reports are old news.”

He went on to explain that the Crown Prince had been deposed because his wife kept giving birth to deformed children. Many officials said it was a sign from the heavens.

Du Yu said calmly, “He’s still the emperor’s favorite son. He might come back to power.”

Du Jin smiled slyly. “Maybe. But do you really think the other princes will let him rise again? Everyone wants the throne.”

Du Yu shrugged. “That’s their problem. I don’t care who wins — I’ll just wait and see.”

Du Jin laughed. “That’s what I wanted to hear. Fifth brother, I want the throne. Help me, will you?”

Du Yu glared at him. “Do you have a death wish?”

Du Jin smiled again. “No — I want to live. I just need to borrow your military token for Gyeonggi.”

The Gyeonggi Garrison Token can mobilize the Forbidden Army, and these two yamen are the last checkpoint in the defense of the capital, and it should be said that they are the barriers relied on by the palace.

Du Yu changed color very rarely, and this change, his facial features had some expressions, and it was rare for him to tell the truth in front of Du Jin. “If you want to seize the throne, you can’t solve the problem with personal force alone, you have to have power in your hands and control the army.”

“You don’t have to worry about this, the seventh brother has his own way.” He is not a soft persimmon, he has been preparing for a long time for today.

Ten years of sharpening a sword, he also sharpened for nearly twenty years.

Du Yu slowly narrowed his eyes, “Have you ever thought that even if you can master the help of hundreds of thousands of troops, there are too few people who support you in power, and in reality, it is very difficult for you to get to the top.”

Du Jin waved his hand, with such a bit of bold courage. “This is not the most important thing, there is no foundation to rebuild, not to mention that as long as the seventh brother is in the name of orthodoxy, he can always attract some loyal subordinates.”

“Since you know it in your heart, this king is troubled.”

“Seventh brother, do you want to know if the fifth brother has any other thoughts about that position?”

“There used to be, but now there is none.” He had thought about it in his previous life, but he lived another life and met his concubine, and those thoughts were like tomorrow’s yellow flowers.

“Doesn’t today mean the future?” The brocade test has a strong flavor. “The seventh brother also knows that the strength of the fifth brother is not only this, if he has the heart of the throne, he may not be able to succeed.”

“You are rare, this king is not, this king just wants to guard his wife and daughter in North Vietnam, that’s enough.” Although it was tempting, he didn’t want to do it for the time being, and there was no need to expose all his strength. Everyone has chips, how can you show all the hole cards to others.

Du Jin had heard about Du Yu and his side concubine, “The side concubine who asked for it seems to have won the heart of the fifth brother.”

“Don’t hit her idea.” Don’t even ask! This is pure men’s desire for exclusivity, and what they own is absolutely not allowed to be touched by others.

“The fifth brother has a big misunderstanding, the seventh brother is also a person with children and daughters, if it weren’t for them, what would I do with my life?” If he wants to borrow the power of others, he also has to give him some money, so that people can see where his sincerity is.

He is also a king in the south, although he is still subject to the emperor’s constraints, but as long as he keeps his duty, as long as the emperor reigns for one day, he does not need to worry too much.

But if there is no distant tiger, there will be immediate worries. It is impossible for his father to be an emperor for a lifetime, as long as his brother who will ascend to the throne does not like him, he, the King of the South, will lose his head at any time.

In order to be carefree and safe in the future, no one will ask for your life at any time, he can only give up! He thought about it and thought of his fifth brother, so he went to North Vietnam to seek his help.

“Have we reached an agreement?” Du Jin wanted to make a decision.

“What good do I have for helping you?” Du Yu was not polite.

“What does the fifth brother want?”

“Give the northern part to this king, and this king will not interfere with the Yongding Dynasty from now on.” He will not be the king of the north, he will be his own king.

“Deal!” The Yongding Dynasty had such a large piece of land, even if he gave up this large piece of land in the north, he still had more and more abundant land, and he felt that Du Yu was not greedy enough.

He is willing to give.

Du Jin did not make any stay in the palace, which was equivalent to coming quietly and going back silently.

Du Yu became more and more familiar after holding the gun several times, slowly exploring Bergman’s sensitive zone, knowing that he was proficient in the way of husband and wife, and his expression was very confident.

As for Bergman, who was so tired that he didn’t even bother to move a finger, he almost fell asleep with heavy eyelids.

In the past few days, I have been grinding with him, and I found that he was thinking about that almost all the time, and it was useless for her to beg for mercy……

The candlelight jumped, and the shadows on the gauze curtain were abundant, revealing a pair of mandarin ducks crossing their necks, infinitely rotten.

Bergman, who was drowsy with Du Yu’s breathing, suddenly heard Du Yu’s suppressed hoarse voice, “Manman, do you want to be the queen?”

Bergman’s eyes widened and confused, “I’m not even a concubine, will this step be too big?” Since becoming a real couple, she has spoken more casually, and rarely calls herself a concubine.

Du Yu’s eyes suddenly darkened, and his body straightened, “This is where I owe you, now…… I can’t give it back, believe me, I will definitely give you a dignified title in the future.”

“You treat me so well, I really don’t value this thing very much. As for the empress? I don’t want to.” She said categorically and without any hesitation.

Du Yu looked down at her, and when he saw the expression on her face, he immediately felt very interesting.

She had a kind of magic that always made him never get tired of watching, and at this moment he was playful, using his face full of beard to pierce her little face.

His ballast was not very hard, but it made Bergman hurt and itch, and he reached out to push his chin.

While she was in a hurry, Du Yu pressed her body and made her cry out in shock, “My lord, what do you want to do, we are just that……”

Du Yu heard her shouting like this, and while lying on top of her, he laughed loudly, not hiding his naivety, and he was about to laugh from ear to ear.

Bergman was so shocked by Du Yu’s hearty laughter that he forgot to struggle.

It was the first time she had heard his loud laughter since she had known this man, which was different from the cold tone when he spoke, and his laughter was full of sincere cheerfulness.

As a wife, she can hear her husband’s laughter like this in her lifetime, and she thinks it’s worth it…… I still feel like crying.

Moreover, he smiled so beautifully that she almost forgot to blink.

“What’s wrong, scaring you?” After the laughter stopped, Du Yu asked a little uncomfortably, not wanting to scare his little wife. That’s right, she is his wife, although she is only a concubine in the name, he has never regarded her as a concubine.

She is his wife, and the one he recognizes will be the only one in this life.

Du Yu couldn’t help but pinch her white and tender cheeks, “Manman, look where you have been thinking about going, your little head is all about the bed.”

He smiled very happily and winked at her slyly, “But you reminded my husband, since you think so highly of me, I should fulfill my duty to be a husband……”

His face was paralyzed and collapsed.

Bergman looked at the strange man. God, do you want to be so handsome that you want her to bump into her deer, so that she wants to do whatever he wants…… Fortunately, she was still sane. “Hey, hey, hey! There are servants outside, you have to bully me like this!” After saying that, he was still a little shy.

Du Yu” hugged her tightly, “What’s the matter, you are the king’s wife, I love you and spoil you, no matter how many times I want you in one night, who dares to say anything, and what’s so shameful about this?”

Bergman knew that men couldn’t help but be stimulated, so in order to avoid Du Yu overdoing his childishness and making more childish moves, she quickly diverted the topic. “Why did you suddenly ask me if I wanted to be the queen? If I were supposed to be, the queen’s crown would fall from the sky and hit my head?”

Du Yu touched her smooth hair. “If you want it, I’ll go get it.”

It’s as simple as taking an orange from the table, but in reality, it’s a high-risk, high-difficulty action, and if you’re not careful, you’ll lose your head, not to mention what’s so good about sitting in that position?

Is it easy to govern a country? Not to mention that in order to balance the power of the court, countless concubines have to be included, it is definitely a nightmare!

She couldn’t think of the benefits, all she knew was a bunch of bad things.

“I don’t want to, don’t get it either.”

“Oh?”

“I think we are doing this now, eating, chatting, and sleeping together, even if we do our own things and don’t say anything, I feel at ease. My heart is small and I can’t share my husband with other women.” I don’t want to, I don’t want to, I can’t and I can’t do it.

She can share everything in her life with others, except for a toothbrush and her husband cannot.

“Not only can the king have many wives and concubines, but if the king wants to, he can also have three wives and four concubines hug each other, as much as he wants.” He teased her again.

How could he know that this could stab a hornet’s nest, the beauty in his arms was unhappy, his expression was not right, and he could sour people to death when he spoke. “Then congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince.”

“That’s it?” His eyes could only see the top of Bergman’s head, and he couldn’t help but be a little disappointed when he heard her say it calmly.

“What else does the prince want? I avoided them all, and if you escape far away, it has nothing to do with me if you want to enjoy the blessings of a few people.” Even if he wants to play 3P, 4P, or just a few Ps, she can’t see it, so what else do she want?

Escaped far away? “This is not good!” Du Yu slowly found that his little wife had knocked over the vinegar jar, and he pulled over her body, looking at her vivid appearance of tilting her nose and eyes vertically, and he couldn’t get tired of watching it.

“You have all enjoyed the blessings of Qi Qi Qi Qi Cheng T Or is it just right to move the location to someone else?” She turned to leave.

“It’s not good, we still have to have children together, don’t think about going anywhere until you have a child that satisfies me.” Even if she was generous and tolerant of people, he had no intention of letting anyone into the house anymore. As for giving her up? He and her life will not be able to give birth to children, and when he is satisfied, she will also be old, see where else she can go?

“Do you think I’m a sow?” Bergman hammered it down honestly and unceremoniously.

Du Yu let her hammer until she was satisfied, and then held her busy two fists in the palm of her hand. “If you are a sow, then I am a breeding pig, what’s wrong with that?”

Bergman was stunned, this man usually didn’t have a single breath, but he dared to say anything when he was in a hurry, “You can stay in school for probation, one day if you are too big, I can’t kick you, so I will kick myself.” Love is beautiful, but the world of love can only be one you and one me, and any one more is too much and too crowded.

Although Du Yu didn’t understand what it meant to “stay in school for probation and record major mistakes”, he could also figure out the meaning of her words that if he dared to let more people into the house, she would leave without looking back.

Alas, does this woman love him so much that she can’t tolerate sand in her eyes, or does she not take him seriously at all, and she can leave without looking back?

He was conflicted. “You are so cruel!”

Bergman looked away, his voice melancholy. “I’m just cruel to myself.”

Du Yu hugged her back into his arms. “No matter how ruthless you are or how ruthless I am, I am not allowed to go anywhere until you give birth to a child for me!”

“Child, child, how much do you want a child? In case, I am an old hen who can’t hatch eggs, and you will cry.” Bergman scolded him.

This did not stump Du Yu, he looked at Bergman’s eyes still warm. “Since we can’t give birth, we won’t give birth,” he paused. “Actually, it’s because of you that I have the idea of having children, what I want is the life you and I conceived together, like you or me, as long as it’s the two of us.

“You know, the emperor has many heirs, and I am only one of them, and I am not particularly popular. For me at that time, my birth was just a mistake, and my mother had never come to see me once in a year and a half, so I often wondered why I was born. It’s just a product of the joy of men and women, is it dispensable?”

This man is heart-wrenching.

Bergman snuggled up to him, wanting to give him more warmth.

She didn’t want to look at her man’s gradually darkening eyes, she couldn’t imagine how he survived the days of living alone in the deep palace, without the love of his parents, and only two loyal servants.

She was heartbroken, and after taking her hand away, she took the initiative to kiss him for the first time with tears in her eyes.

Her lips were like torches, lightly touching Du Yu’s lips, enough to ignite the flames that burned the two of them.

How could a man who was so inspired not go all out, the person who was originally active quickly changed his position, and Bergman indulged in Du Yu’s crazy and turbulent sea of love, and his heart kept beating. His strong masculine aura swept over her, and their hearts had never been so close, and she let him take or take until they were truly connected.
