GTB Chapter 198
by VolareChapter 200: The Art of the Bedchamber
Jiang Jiuchu picked up a piece of pastry and said while eating, “Your ideas are useless.”
Xiao Li looked at Ji Shutíng, covering her mouth and giggling. She curled her lip, “Can you not be so discouraging? This princess has never been turned down by a man before. Coming to your Dong Yue, one or two of them are just clueless.”
Jiang Jiuchu laughed and said, “Alright, I won’t discourage you. We have a saying in Dong Yue: ‘A woman chasing a man is separated by a layer of gauze.’ Do you know what that means? It means it’s very easy for a woman to pursue a man. So, don’t be discouraged.”
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Ji Shutíng, “She’s a successful example. How about… you two exchange experiences?”
Hearing this, Xiao Li’s eyes lit up, and she asked Ji Shutíng, “You chased after him too?”
Ji Shutíng coughed and then nodded.
“Not bad! No wonder I feel a connection with you. You have personality. Come on, tell me how you chased him. I’ll learn too.” Xiao Li praised with a smile and continued,
“Don’t worry, I won’t let you teach for free. I was talking about the art of the bedchamber in the carriage just now, but I didn’t have time to explain. I’ll teach you later.”
Ji Shutíng pursed her lips, truly unable to understand how a dignified princess could discuss matters of the bedchamber with such fearlessness, especially since this princess was not yet married!
Could it be that the customs of the Northern Kingdom were so bold and unrestrained?
She drank a cup of tea and then said, “I didn’t do anything special. In the beginning, I just made some small things to subtly express my feelings to him.”
“Later, I learned that he liked to eat pastries from Jade Shop, so I specifically bought the freshly baked ones early in the morning and personally delivered them to his residence. Since then, our relationship has slowly changed.”
Xiao Li listened intently with a pair of eyes, seemingly understanding the difference in it. Ji Shutíng’s expression of goodwill, seemed to be a true expression of goodwill, an act of giving.
But she was not, she was demanding, demanding that Shí Yan accompany her shopping, accompany her on boat trips… and other small things, which all seemed like demands.
She nodded, her heart suddenly enlightened, “I understand.”
Ji Shutíng and Jiang Jiuchu were both a little surprised to hear this. One didn’t think she had said anything, and the other didn’t think there were any special tricks, but why did Xiao Li seem to have benefited so much?
Xiao Li had a plan in mind and looked at Ji Shutíng happily, asking, “How many days a week do you and your husband share a bed?”
“Cough, cough…” Jiang Jiuchu almost choked on a mouthful of pastry.
Ji Shutíng’s face turned even redder, and she quickly looked outside the teahouse, thankfully the maids were all downstairs and hadn’t come up.
She looked at Xiao Li with a shy rebuke, “Princess, is your Northern Kingdom so… so open?”
Xiao Li felt that her question might have been a bit too direct, “Well… maybe! Maybe I’m just a little open. Besides, there’s no one else on this boat, just the three of us, right? Let’s keep it down, the maids and boatmen below won’t be able to hear us.”
After she finished speaking, seeing that Ji Shutíng still didn’t answer, she directly asked, “This requires prescribing the right medicine for the illness, different men require different ways of seduction.”
Ji Shutíng was silent. Although she was thick-skinned, she was also curious about what arts of the bedchamber the Northern Kingdom governess had taught Xiao Li, but she was really embarrassed to talk about such private matters.
Seeing that Ji Shutíng was silent, Xiao Li directly looked at Jiang Jiuchu, revealing a mouthful of white teeth to her, with a mischievous look of curiosity, “Jiuchu, what about you? How often do you and His Highness the Crown Prince…”
She was really curious whether the man who looked so cold and aloof was equally indifferent in this regard.
Jiang Jiuchu directly interrupted Xiao Li’s words, “No, I’m not in a hurry to get pregnant, and neither is my prince. You don’t need to teach me, just teach Shutíng.”
She wouldn’t say it, anyway, she could listen while she taught Shutíng, but she thought to herself that the art of the bedchamber that Xiao Li was talking about, wouldn’t it be the kind of teasing without touching that she understood!
Xiao Li curled her lip, “It’s not just for having children early, it’s to win over your husband’s heart. Your man is the Crown Prince, and he’ll have three thousand concubines in the harem after he becomes Emperor. Rather than letting other vixens seduce him, you might as well be a vixen yourself.”
After she finished speaking, she didn’t look at Jiang Jiuchu, but stared directly at Ji Shutíng and asked, “Once every two days?”
Ji Shutíng was stared at speechlessly and had no choice but to shake her head.
“Three days?”
Ji Shutíng shook her head again.
Xiao Li continued to ask, “Four days?”
…Five days, until Xiao Li asked about the seventh day, did she see Ji Shutíng nod.
Xiao Li leaned in with an incredulous look and asked, “Are you sure your husband doesn’t have any concubines?”
“Of course not, is there something wrong?” Ji Shutíng didn’t understand why Xiao Li was asking like this, she thought seven days was very normal!
“Is it?” Xiao Li looked at Jiang Jiuchu and asked, although she was not married, her father and her brother, unless there were special circumstances, otherwise they wouldn’t go seven days without touching a woman.
Jiang Jiuchu had long been listening with a surprised face, thinking to herself, Shí Yan really is a pervert, and when she calls him that, he not only quibbles but also fools her that the true perversion is day and night, every moment, she really believed his nonsense.
She coughed and pretended to be calm, replying, “More or less… about the same!”
Xiao Li was a little surprised, thinking, could it be that the men in her Northern Kingdom were more lustful?
That can’t be! That second prince, Shí Jin, is said to have an endless stream of beauties in his residence, accompanying him every night.
She looked at Ji Shutíng and said, “If you want children sooner, I think this… might be a little less.”
Seeing that Jiang Jiuchu was also like this, Ji Shutíng felt even more normal. She said, “Men should be restrained, this is enough, too much is harmful to the body.”
Xiao Li was a little speechless, “Are you all so health-conscious in Dong Yue? To the point of harming the body, unless it’s day and night, otherwise how can they harm their bodies at such a young and vigorous age? Not saying that they should be greedy every night, but once every two or three days is still necessary!”
As she spoke, she turned to look at Jiang Jiuchu, “And you, his status is not ordinary, you are just giving other women opportunities. A man of this age is too restrained to go only once every seven days.”
“I grew up in the palace and have seen too many tricks of the women in the harem to seduce my father.”
Men are not as pure-hearted and desireless as you imagine. If he doesn’t favor you, he will favor others. As long as he has a little energy, other women will hook him accurately.
She chuckled and continued, “You’re so good, still worrying about whether it’s harmful to the body. It’s better to be harmed by yourself than to be harmed by other women.”
As she spoke, she looked worriedly at Jiang Jiuchu and Ji Shutíng, who were already married but didn’t understand the seriousness of the matter, and planned to impart everything she knew.
