Chapter 6- Disguise
The next day when Qiu Chen woke up, he saw Zhao Yichen sitting at the table by the window. The morning sun shone on him making him look extra handsome. Qiu Chen smiled at the sight. As if Zhao Yichen could sense, he looked up. When he saw his wife smiling at him, he smiled back. He stood up, then walked slowly to him.
"Haven't you gone to the morning court?" Qiu Chen asked, his voice lazy and nasal from sleeping. In Zhao Yichen's ears, his wife sounded like a purring cat. He sat down by the bed and extended his hands towards Qiu Chen.
"The morning court has ended," Zhao Yichen replied as he helped Qiu Chen sit. "Is your waist sore?" he asked. They 'fought' again last night, and it was more intense than the first night.
"Haven't you already applied medicine?" Qiu Chen replied. He was too at peace at this moment to pretend to act coquettish in front of his husband.
Zhao YIchen chuckled. "Then it means I have not worked hard enough" he could not help but tease his wife.
Qiu Chen, instead of getting shy, laughed out loud. His laughter like flowing water of a fountain running down from a mountain entered Zhao Yichen's ears. He looked at him like he was looking at the most painstakingly and carefully carved piece of jade. When he thought that this laughter was caused by him, happiness flowed down inside his chest, a smile formed on his thin lips.
Qiu Chen looked at him smiling so foolishly, he felt that his husband was actually very cute, not a fierce general. He leaned his head forward and placed a kiss on Zhao Yichen lips, "Good Morning, Husband."
After breakfast Qiu Chen dismissed all the servants from the room. He leaned in Zhao Yichen's arms and asked softly, "Have you ever been to the Fragrance House?"
Zhao Yichen suddenly panicked. Though he had never been to any brothel, he was afraid that his wife had heard some nonsense rumor. He hurriedly tried to clarify himself, "NEVER! I have never been to any brothel, I swear!"
"Why are you working up so much? Have you actually done anything shady?" Qiu found his reaction funny so teased him with a serious face.
Zhao Yichen's face visibly paled. As a soldier, he always has been a person of little words. Normally no one would dare to talk like this in front of him, only this person would. But he could not even explain himself.
Qiu Chen saw Zhao Yichen panicking, his heart melted in a puddle. He stroked his chest softly, "I know that you haven't done anything. But, was it always like this? Someone blamed you and couldn't even explain yourself?"
Zhao Yichen didn't reply. After his mother's death it always had been like this. So his father sent him with General Ye to train. Although Zhao Yichen did not talk, Qiu Chen understood.
"I will help you explain from now on, okay?" Zhao Yichen was never coaxed by someone. So when his wife did it, he was a bit overwhelmed. Qiu Chen naturally sensed it; he changed the topic smoothly.
"Go to Fragrance House now. Someone is waiting for you there." Qiu Chen told Zhao Yichen. Seeing that Zhao Yichen was about to question, he reassured him, "Have faith in me a little bit, will you? I am not going to share my husband with anyone."
So, Zhao Yichen, the henpecked husband had to obey his wife and go to the place where he never set his foot in.
When the Fourth Prince entered the number one brothel of the capital, there was lots of whispering sound. How could Zhao Yichen not know what the whispers were all about? So, his face turned even colder than usual. Seeing him so murderous no lady or young master from the brothel dared to go near him.
