Banou is upset for a few days. Li Jun try to cheer her up He bring in the puppet show into the mansion to watch together with the whole family. She smile but her heart is still aching about the past. Till Li Cheng appear, he bring her some sour plum, a box of dragon beard candy and some fruits skewers. Banou seeing Li Cheng cheer up and delighted to see so many snacks that she like to eat. He even bring a kite that he make himself. He explain to her the words on the kite and tell her to fly it on a windy day. After he left, Aylin ask her what the words means
"He wrote there that whatever is in the past should stay in the past. Let the wind blow it away and live forward to the future."
"Oh Prince Li Cheng is so sweet."
"Yes he is. I will fly them away. I will live for my future. I am not torture in anyway. I have three meals to eat everyday. I am surrounded by people who love me and respect me. I must not let these negative thoughts ruin my life."
"That is correct my princess! That brat can go eat her own shit! And i heard from those servants the other day their master wanted his daughter to marry Li Jun. So that they can get favour from the royal family. With that bratty daughter of his, he can forget it!" They laugh, Banou is all feeling better.
The snow melt but the weather is still cold and windy. Banou learn to fly a kite with everyone in the house. Even the little ones knows how to give her pointers on flying it high. She laugh and enjoy her day. She watch so many kites in the air. She look at the branding on her arm. It's an exchange for a beautiful life like this.
"I must be lucky. Thank you god." She mumbled in Arabic. That night Li Jun sleep in her bedroom. He is afraid that she is unhappy but she seems back to normal. He hug and kiss her and fore play with her. In order to get her pregnant, he comes decided to sleep with her overnight. He order tonics of all kinds for both of them. Once she is pregnant, he can burnt the slavery paper and boost her statues up as a concubine. He can give her a title as well.
To make people know that Banou belongs to him, she is bought alone with him everywhere, People in the imperial bureau, trade union, merchant union all are delighted with her. Not only they compliment that she is a beauty. She is also a person who can verse well in today's subjects. Her smile drizzle the men around her. Li Jun is very proud to be beside her. When they openly ask him to kiss her, he did kiss her till out of breath. However if they get too cheek asking to see her naked, Li Jun will not hesitate to give him his princely stare down. Sometimes when he drink too much, when they are in the carriage going home, Li Jun will grope her in the carriage to make her wet and have sex in it. Banou is so afraid that Li Cheng will happen to petrol around the area and find them doing it in public. That is the last resort for pretending that she is not a sex slave.
However there was a day when Li Jun had forgotten to close the door properly in an afternoon. She is naked with her legs open wide and Li Jun is licking her private part. One of his hand reach up to grope her big breast which is juggling because she is panting while getting so wet when she look up through the screen in the room, with her hazy vision. She see Li Cheng standing outside the door. Just then, Li Jun stand up on his knees and insert his member inside her. She cry while hugging Li Jun. She watch Li Cheng disappointing face and close the door carefully. His shadow remains at the door for awhile before he walks away. She feel like a whore at that moment. Li Jun push her down on the bed and pound her. The sound of the flesh hitting each other echo in the room. While she tears that Li Cheng had seen the ugly side of her. She becomes like a prostitute woman who spread open her legs.
Over the next few day, LI Jun keep making her wet and make her have sex in public. He make sure Aylin and Ah Mu are not inside the small courtyard, he make Banou wet and pound her hard by the main door. Sometimes when the laundry area there is no one, he strip her and lick her. He finds that when the sun shine on her skin, she is extremely beautiful. Because of the goddess visual that he is seeing, he come inside Banou many times a day. While back inside the door, he open the semi door behind the bed, he will ask Banou to service him with her mouth. As she doesn't know any of this, Li Jun teach her how to please him. He love it to see her beautiful face eating up his member. He feel satisfy.
"Banou after you give birth, i will make you my concubine. I can give up the rest of the women. But i can't live without you." He play with her thick luscious hair and enjoy the feeling she is giving him. The sun is shining in and it makes him want her more.
With his constant sleeping with Banou, she got pregnant in early Spring. Everyone is in a joyous mood. However Banou is not very happy nor sad. She keep remember seeing the disappointed face of Li Cheng and now he did not appear in front of her anymore.
In June, Banou ask consort Wu where is Li Cheng.
"Oh i heard that last month he is asked to go to a camp to train the new recruits. So he left. He did not tell you that? Strange i though i saw him walking to your living quarters a few months ago."
