As soon as Li Yunyan stepped into the bath, she couldn't help but marvel at how luxurious it was.

Looking around, the entire bath resembled a crystal-clear white jade palace, radiating a soft glow. The flawless white jade stones were as smooth and delicate as silk. Each stone slab was tightly connected without any gaps, as if they were born for this place.

Li Yunyan carefully stepped onto the smooth, mirror-like jade surface, afraid that she might slip and fall.

She slowly crouched down, reaching out to gently touch the jade stones at the edge of the pool, feeling the wonderful sensation of coolness and warmth intertwined. An indescribable comfort emanated from where her fingertips touched, and she couldn't wait to step into the water.

She slowly stepped onto the stone steps and sat down. The water temperature was just right, and it was a constantly flowing water system. If her body allowed, she could soak here for a whole day.

Gu Yingzhi is truly resourceful! Even when she was Empress, she never lived such a luxurious life!

Just as she was thinking this, she heard the sound of water splashing behind her, and she knew without a doubt who it was.

She gently brushed the petals from the water's surface, pretending not to know he had come in.

The next moment she fell into a scalding embrace, the temperature of which was even hotter than hot spring water, making her ears feel slightly hot.

Gu Yingzhi's voice was deep and hoarse, "On our wedding night, Yanyan abandoned her husband. I'll have to punish you!"

The position was too intimate; Li Yunyan could even feel the strong, firm lines on his lower abdomen through the skin on his back.

The walls of the bath were inlaid with luminous pearls that emitted a faint glow, which, through the reflection of the white jade, made the entire bath exceptionally bright.

With nothing covering her, Li Yunyan was too ashamed to open her eyes.

Gu Yingzhi, taking advantage of the situation, grabbed her shoulders and turned her around, his breath spraying against her ear, his voice filled with the satisfaction of a wish fulfilled.

"Yanyan, we are husband and wife now, a real husband and wife!"

Of course she knew they were husband and wife!

They had just completed their wedding ceremony and received everyone's congratulations. They have three children, and more to come.

But she knew in her heart that what Gu Yingzhi meant was a formal title. With this title, they could be together forever!

I never imagined that he, a grown man, would value status and legitimacy even more than she did!

Li Yunyan bit her lower lip and nodded slightly. "Yes, we are husband and wife now!"

He pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Yanyan, my queen, my lady, my wife..."

His voice was incredibly affectionate, and Li Yunyan was moved by it, so she raised her hand and wrapped it around his waist.

Her voice was soft, her red lips parted slightly, "My husband."

She felt him hold her even tighter, so tight that he trembled slightly, making it hard for her to breathe.

She opened her eyes a crack and saw his deep eyes staring intently at her. His handsome, god-like face was still glistening with water droplets, and he exuded an unparalleled aura of masculinity.

Their eyes met, and Gu Yingzhi raised his hand to cup her face, saying very seriously, word by word, "Yanyan, I love you! Don't leave me!"

She nodded in his palm, a sweet smile playing on her lips, "Gu Yingzhi, I won't leave you!"

A barrage of kisses rained down upon him.

......

After a long while, Li Yunyan, her body flushed from soaking in the hot spring water, was carried into the bath and placed on the white jade couch beside her.

The white jade couch was covered with a thick velvet carpet, which Li Yunyan didn't find uncomfortable at all.

She lay on the plush blanket, with a bottle of moisturizing oil beside her. Gu Yingzhi poured some into his hand and massaged her sore leg muscles.

Li Yunyan closed her eyes, enjoying Gu Yingzhi's attentive service.

He would occasionally point and comment.

An hour later, he carried her into the bath again.

Then I noticed there was a large rocking chair next to me.

Before finally falling asleep, she gently placed her hand on her lower abdomen and smiled.

On the third day after the wedding, Consort Shu took the three children away.

Li Yunyan was a little reluctant, but Gu Yingzhi was very calm and comforted her, saying, "It's inevitable that Mother Consort will feel lonely in the palace all by herself. It would be good for the children to go and stay with her for a while!"

Li Yunyan was worried about the power struggles in the harem. "Will the children be safe in the palace?"

He could tell what she was thinking at a glance, and flicked her forehead with his finger.

"I told you to stop reading those storybooks! My brother's position as crown prince is secure, and he has his own legitimate son. I have no desire for power or profit. With harmony in the harem, the children are naturally safe!"

Li Yunyan rubbed her forehead in a daze, "The harem is actually harmonious?"

He pulled her hand away, gently rubbed her forehead, and said softly, "Father is a wise ruler, and the court and the country are at peace. Managing the harem is of course a piece of cake for him!"

Okay! She's overthinking it!

With her child away, Li Yunyan naturally began to live a life of eating, drinking, and sleeping.

Gu Yingzhi stopped keeping her at bay. During the day, he would handle government affairs, while Li Yunyan would take Xiangxia and the others to wander around Qingyang City.

She also made several friends, and occasionally visited their homes to drink tea and admire flowers, living a very leisurely life.

A month later, Li Yunyan suddenly felt nauseous and weak. She raised her hand to take her pulse and understood what was wrong.

The happiest one was the system. It was the first time the host had been idle for so long, and it thought the host was not planning to have any more children in this little world!

Li Yunyan mentally instructed it, "You have to be a system with principles. When I had my first child, it was to save my life. Whether I have the next few children or not depends entirely on whether I find the right person! If I don't have someone I like, there's no point in living in this little world for as long as I want!"

[So the host was hesitating whether to continue having children with Gu Yingzhi or with Xie Fengsheng? That's why it took so long?]

"You could say that! But don't worry, System, I cherish every life I've been given and I will never give up! No matter what kind of small world I go to, I will do my best to complete the missions and love people wholeheartedly!"

[I'm so happy! You're truly the best host I've ever had!]

Li Yunyan raised an eyebrow. "So, can you tell me if there are any hidden quests in this little world?"

[Hehe!] After considering it for a moment, the system spoke up: [Host, Gu Yingzhi has already completed the hidden quest for this world for you!]

"Oh? What kind of mission is it?"

The hidden mission is to fulfill the original owner's wishes. The original owner had three wishes: first, to escape the landlord's house; second, to take revenge on her alcoholic father; and third, to live a happy life!

She could understand the first and third points, but what about the second one?

During dinner that evening, Li Yunyan pulled Gu Yingzhi aside and asked, "Did you do something behind my back that you didn't tell me?"

Gu Yingzhi's eyes flashed wildly.

There are so many!
