Chapter 5 Call Me Zihuan
After hesitating for a moment, she secretly grabbed the man's clenched hand.

The temperature from his fingertips made Cao Pi's heart tremble. Now that he is kneeling here, some people are afraid to speak, while others are gloating. Only she, kneeling with him, accepts his father's fury.

The cold body was filled with this warmth, Cao Pi stretched out his hand to hold her, and wrapped her soft hand tightly in the cuffs invisible to everyone.In the storm that follows, it would be wonderful if there is someone who can help and accompany each other.

Cao Cao didn't say anything in the end, but his attitude towards Cao Pi became more and more bad, and he made a fuss all night until dawn, and the people gradually dispersed.

Zhen Mi and Cao Pi returned to the house, Cao Pi was sitting in the outer room, his whole body was full of powerlessness, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

"Son..."

Zhen Mi stood beside him, hesitant to speak.

The two have been married for several months, but Zhen Mi still can't change Cao Pi's name, usually only when Cao Pi asks, she will call him, "Zi Huan."

Not in the mood to correct her now, Cao Pi propped his forehead with one hand, feeling exhausted.

"It's still some time before dawn, why don't you go and rest for a while?"

It was rare for her to soften her voice to speak to him.

Cao Pi sat silently, and Zhen Mi didn't urge her, she just waited for his answer.

She has always been like this, as long as he doesn't ask, she will not answer. She must have learned the knowledge of three obediences and four virtues very well.But for a man like Cao Pi who lacked love since childhood, what he needs is not a wife with good manners!
He wanted her to hold him with her little hands to give him warmth as she did just now, or to sit here with him and give him strength.

Cao Pi's heart seemed to have more expectations than he should have. Under the candlelight, her reflection stood there firmly, and she remained motionless and silent.

After a long time, Cao Pi sighed in his heart, "I should go after sitting here for a while, you go to sleep."

All men are machismo, she saw the way he was scolded just now, Zhen Mi thought that he didn't want to face her, and wanted to be alone here quietly.

Glancing at the man, she put the black coat hanging by the door on him, then bowed sideways, bowed and stepped back.

Cao Pi touched the cloak, but he didn't feel the slightest warmth. The warmth that belonged to her still remained in the palm of his hand, but he couldn't recall the throbbing feeling in his heart just now.

There has always been a long distance between them, and he knows what the gap is.

....................................

In the past few days, Zhen Mi has been feeling sore in her stomach, and she has no appetite for meals, and she doesn't take it seriously, but Fu Lian, who is beside her, told Cao Pi about it.

In the afternoon, Zhen Mi was sitting in the stone pavilion outside the courtyard enjoying the cool air, and Fu Lian came over with some snacks, "Madam, you haven't eaten much in the past few days, this is made by your maidservant, you should eat some at least."

Looking at the plate of dim sum on the table, Zhen Mi was a little moved, "You have a heart."

Not wanting to take away her kindness, Zhen Mi picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the right hand side, but she really lost her appetite, so she only took a small bite and put it on a small plate beside her.

Looking at the lake in front of the pavilion, Zhen Mi suddenly thought of the lake in Yuan's house. The light wave water was very similar to this one. At that time, she was sitting alone in Yuan's house, and now...it is still the same.

The breeze blew slightly, and Zhen Mi's short hair on the forehead was blown a little messy, but she ignored it, and just rested her chin with one hand, watching the scene of Cao Mansion quietly.

The mansion is quite a bit like the Cao family. There are many rockeries and mountains, which look majestic.

Fu Lian didn't say anything, just stood behind Zhen Mi and looked at her quietly.

She had heard of this lady's name before, Hebei Zhen's, and she was unparalleled in beauty, but she didn't understand why this beauty's eyebrows were suddenly sad.
Suddenly seeing the eldest son approaching, Fu Lian was about to bend down to salute, Cao Pi waved her hand to let her go down, Fu Lian of course knew her eyes, and immediately retreated quietly.

Zhen Mi didn't notice Fu Lian left, she still pressed her chin, and of course she didn't pay attention to the man beside her.

"What are you thinking?" Cao Pi leaned very close to her.

Suddenly startled, Zhen Mi immediately got up and took two or three steps away from him to stabilize her mind, "Why did you come back suddenly?"

She answered irrelevant questions, and Cao Pi didn't delve into it. Instead, he sat next to Zhen Mi, "I can't come back?"

"...I don't mean that."

"What does that mean?" Cao Pi deliberately teased her, "Also, didn't I tell you to call me Zihuan last time?"

"..." Zhen Mi didn't speak, not used to seeing her like this, Cao Pi pulled her to sit in the seat just now.

Zhen Mi sat with him, glanced at him, and looked away. She still couldn't say those two words. Even though they were husband and wife long ago, their daily relationship was not as close as he and his brothers.

Cao Pi looked at the table full of dishes, and said: "Fu Lian said, you have not had a good appetite these days..." Cao Pi picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and tasted it.

Zhen Mi stared at Cao Pi with wide eyes, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake he was eating now was the one she had just tasted...

The piece of cake was placed straight on another plate, he should be able to see it, right?
"what happened?"

"No, it's okay." Zhen Mi's face turned red suddenly, and she turned the question back to the previous one, "That girl Fu Lian, you still have to bother the young master with such a trivial matter."

Little things?

Cao Pi smiled, his voice was a bit cold, "As a husband, shouldn't I care about Madam's physical condition?"

Who did she think he was, leaving his wife aside and ignoring him?
She didn't ask him for anything, was it because she was afraid to trouble him, or because she didn't want to treat him as her husband? !
No matter how stupid Zhen Mi is, she can still hear the displeasure in his words, but she doesn't understand why he is like this. His temper always makes her hard to guard against, sudden happiness, sudden anger...

"The concubine is just afraid of delaying the son's business..."

"Call me Zihuan." He interrupted Zhen Mi suddenly.

"Ah?" In a rare daze, the woman stared at Cao Pi with puzzled eyes.

"Call me Zihuan," Cao Pi rarely repeated the words a second time.

He kept looking at Zhen Mi, but couldn't resist such a strong gaze, Zhen Mi finally compromised, and said in a low voice, "... Zihuan."

Her voice is beautiful, with a gentle yellow eyebrow, very pleasant to the ear.

Frowning eyebrows relaxed a little, Cao Pi picked up a piece of hibiscus cake and fed it to Zhen Mi's mouth.

Unable to resist him, Zhen Mi took a sip.

The smile on Cao Pi's face became stronger, "You don't want to eat, are you waiting for me to feed you?"

He said such intimate words very casually, and there was a hint of a smile hidden in the words.

"No," Zhen Mi quickly denied.

But Cao Pi didn't seem to hear her answer, so he continued to feed her.

"I really don't want to eat it..." Zhen Mi shook her head, she felt a little nauseous when she smelled these smells.

Seeing her pale face and extremely uncomfortable look, Cao Pi didn't force it. He put down the pastry in his hand, pulled Zhen Mi up and walked towards the pavilion.

"Go, where are you going?" Zhen Mi followed him at a loss, not knowing where this man was going.

"Take you to see the imperial physician." He answered simply and clearly.

Imperial physician?Zhen Mi somewhat refused. She didn't like to see a doctor and take medicine since she was a child, "Master, I just have a bad appetite. I'm sure I'm fine, so don't bother me."

The two had already stepped down from the gazebo to the rockery path, Cao Pi suddenly turned around, and Zhen Mi also stopped, "What do you call me?"
