Peach Blossom Decree

The year Lin Zikui passed the provincial level imperial examination, his father arranged a good marriage for him, and the girl’s family took her to the capital.

Three years later, Lin Zikui’s...

Chapter 47 Fengtai County (5)

If Lin Zikui hadn't known that Doctor Liu was a quack, he would have been frightened.

Xiao Fu subconsciously glanced at his stomach: "?"

"Did you diagnose the slippery pulse?" Mo Liu was overjoyed, "Sir! Madam Xiao... is pregnant, and our Lin family has an heir!"

After confirming the diagnosis, Doctor Liu stood up and bowed: "Congratulations to Mr. Lin! Congratulations to Mr. Lin! Your wife got pregnant just one day after getting married. Mr. Lin is truly extraordinary."

Lin Zikui couldn't laugh.

His wife is a man, and he touched her last night.

"Okay, Doctor Liu..." Lin Zikui gave him some change helplessly, "You can go and see the patient."

Doctor Liu: "Don't worry, I still need to prescribe medicine for the young lady to preserve the pregnancy. The pulse should be smooth, like beads rolling on a jade plate, but it is slightly disordered. I will prescribe medicine to calm the young lady. Judging from the state of this woman, she must be frightened, right?"

Xiao Fu leaned in Lin Zikui's arms and nodded softly.

Doctor Liu saw that Lin Zikui had found a treasure. As soon as he left, Lin Zikui asked Mo Liu to go to another clinic to ask for a doctor. Xiao Fu stopped him and said, "Come back."

He looked at Lin Zikui: "Lin Lang, I seem to have been kneeling for too long and can't get up."

Although Lin Zikui knew that the quack doctor had misdiagnosed him, he still couldn't bear it. Zhao Ling had been kneeling for so long that his body was wet and the moisture spread to himself. Lin Zikui helped him up: "Come back to the house with me, lie down and have a rest, I'll cook you a bowl of glutinous rice balls."

Xiao Fu nodded and asked in a low voice: "Then have you forgiven me?"

Lin Zikui did not answer this question. Thinking that his knee must be injured, he asked Mo Liu to find a famous doctor to prescribe an ointment for the injury.

There was no movement in the teacher's room. Strangely, the maids and old women of the Xue mansion seemed to have disappeared overnight. Jinzun sat on the green tile wall covered with peach blossoms and powder. No one knew how long he had been there or how much he had seen.

Lin Zikui went to cook the glutinous rice balls and poked her head out of the kitchen to ask him, "Jinzun, how many do you want to eat?"

"twenty."

Jinzun saw the Marquis kneeling, and it had really been raining since midnight. He was puzzled and asked Xiao Fu: "Didn't the Marquis teach me not to kneel? A man's knees are made of gold."

Xiao Fu: "That's for enemies, for tyrants. If you have gold under your knees, you can kneel to your parents, to heaven and earth, and to your lover."

After kneeling down, Lin Lang softened his heart, so why not do it?

Jin Zun watched Lin Zikui finish cooking the glutinous rice balls and served them to him first: "Come down and eat quickly."

"No, give it to the master." He sat on the wall and shook his head.

"I have also prepared your master's food. You take it, and I will serve it to him."

"Oh." He jumped down.

Lin Zikui placed the bowl and chopsticks on the table and reminded: "Eat on the table, don't eat on the wall. Eat slowly, it's a little hot."

Lin Zikui is considerate and caring towards everyone.

I brought it to the teacher, and saw that Xue Xiang had gotten up and was just sitting in the room wiping his hair. When he saw Lin Zikui, he looked as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

Lin Zikui: "Teacher, eat some glutinous rice balls."

Xue Xiang: "Okay, okay, put it down. I want to ask you, is your wife really pregnant?"

Lin Zikui: "Doctor Liu is a quack. My wife and I have only been married for one day, how can he be pregnant?"

"That's good, that's good..." Xue Xiang had already doubted his life. Could it be that Xiao Fu was a woman? She had been dressing as a boy since she was a child and was married now. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. His face did not look like a man's.

This dumpling was the last one to be served to Xiao Fu. Xiao Fu saw that he gave it to others first and he hadn't eaten it himself.

Xiao Fu didn't eat a single bite. He scooped it up and blew on it first, then touched it with his lips to feel the temperature. When he felt it was about right, he raised it and fed it to him: "Husband, eat first."

Lin Zikui felt uncomfortable and soft-hearted when he called her "husband" all the time, and she had mixed feelings.

The lady smeared an oily paste on her hands last night and probed into him.

Lin Zikui was frightened on the spot and pushed him away. Xiao Fu is tall and slender, with strong limbs and well-proportioned muscles, which always reminds Lin Zikui that things are not what he thinks.

The porcelain spoon came to his lips. Lin Zikui slowly opened his mouth and ate.

When Xiao Fu smiled, his eyes curved: "My husband ate my glutinous rice balls. Are you happy?"

Lin Zikui: "I cooked the glutinous rice balls."

"I fed you, eat another one."

"Okay... okay, you eat too. The filling of these glutinous rice balls is very sweet." After saying that, Lin Zikui suddenly thought of something and looked at Xiao Fu.

"Eat it! You know I don't like to eat anything. If I want to eat something sweet, I can only eat it from my husband's mouth."

"Morning...it's broad daylight, you can't do this." Lin Zikui blushed a little.

"I'm just talking, can we kiss tonight?"

Lin Zikui kept his mouth shut and said nothing.

In fact, he didn't resist kissing... He really liked Zhao Ling kissing him like that.

But if it goes any further, Lin Zikui won’t be able to accept it.

Seeing this, Xiao Fu tried his best to feed him the dumplings.

Lin Zikui was fed more than a dozen pieces without any explanation. Only when Lin Zikui said he was full did Xiao Fu start to eat. He didn't know whether it tasted good or not, but he had to finish what Lin Zikui made.

After eating, we will be reunited from now on.

After a while, Mo Liu came back with the medicine. Lin Zikui also cooked some glutinous rice balls for him. Mo Liu went to eat, and Lin Zikui gave the ointment to Xiao Fu: "What is the old injury on your knee?"

"My leg is broken, so I can't kneel."

Lin Zikui was startled and immediately squatted down: "When did it break? Then why are you kneeling?"

"It was accidentally broken a few years ago, and then it was reconnected." Xiao Fu lifted up her skirt and trouser legs, revealing a pair of shaved, smooth, jade-like calves.

"There are still scars here. Lin Lang, you don't mind me having so many scars on my body, right?"

“How could it be…” Lin Zikui shook his head. Seeing the long scar on his broken bone, his eyes were filled with heartache.

There was no bruise on Xiao Fu's knee, but Lin Zikui saw it.

Xiao Fu rolled up his pants to his thighs and noticed his expression.

He bent down and said, "I'm not in pain. I'm fine now."

Lin Zikui said nothing as he applied the ointment for bruises and external injuries. The dark blue herb smelled unpleasant, but he applied it evenly. Long-term illness makes one a doctor, and Lin Zikui learned the technique of applying the ointment from a doctor. He said slowly, "I asked Mo Liu to ask Doctor Hu from Jishi Medical Clinic to prescribe this medicine. He is the best doctor in Fengtai County. How come you have so many wounds on your body? They are all weapon injuries. What did you do before?"

Xiao Fu: "I have led troops and marched before, and I got injured just like that."

Lin Zikui raised his head: "Are you still hiding a lot of things from me?"

Xiao Fu lowered his eyes and looked into his clear eyes. He nodded, gently stroked his face with his palm, and scratched his nose with his index finger: "I have kept it from you, for fear of scaring my young master. Can you forgive me for hiding the fact of my gender?"

The atmosphere between the two men eased. Lin Zikui stared at him for a while and said, "I don't blame you for being a man. I just...can't accept that."

Lin Zikui had read the storybook and knew what was going on. It seemed that Ling wanted to use his back.

He found it hard to accept the thought.

Xiao Fu's voice became gentle and he said, "If Lin Lang doesn't like it, then let's not do that for now. Then I can use my hands. Will Lin Lang be able to accept it?"

Lin Zikui couldn't help but think of what happened last night... Xiao Fu and he solved it together.

Lin Zikui hasn't said anything yet, as if hesitating.

Xiao Fu continued, "I am so much older than you, do you still want me to suffer the pain of not having sex with my husband? If I am older, I will be buried. Can't I consummate my marriage with my husband even if I am buried?"

"Don't." Lin Zikui covered his mouth, "How can you say that casually?"

Xiao Fu had a mouth full of medicine for injuries and looked at him: "Then do you agree?"

"Hands...hands, yes, but that, no." Lin Zikui compromised. After thinking about it, it seemed like nothing.

Xiao Fu was happy again. He thought that he was too impatient and scared him. He was fine after a little coaxing. Lin Lang was really soft-hearted.

Xue Xiang returned home on the second day of their wedding. Before leaving, he pulled Lin Zikui into the carriage alone and said, "I know you are newlywed and you are longing for love, but there is no telling when the imperial examination will be re-held. You must come to my place to study in early April."

Xiao Fu is the regent. If he leaves the seven-year-old king alone and doesn't go back, things will be in chaos.

Lin Zikui is going to take an exam. If these two people get mixed up like this, won’t it make life difficult for the scholars in Jinling who are preparing for the exam?

Just over twenty days after their wedding, Lin Zikui had to pack his books and luggage to go to Xue Xiang's residence to study, and could not accompany his wife. He felt guilty towards Xiao Fu, so before leaving, he took care of everything, went to sweep the grave first, and returned the intact dowry box to him: "I said I can't take your dowry, take it back. After I leave, you will be alone at home, so I bought you a parrot to relieve your boredom."

Lin Zikui picked the parrot early in the morning. It can imitate human speech. Lin Zikui spent the whole morning teaching the parrot to say "Wife, remember to eat", but it has not learned it yet.

Xiao Fu was also going back to Beijing, so it would be a good opportunity for Lin Zikui to go to school, but he was reluctant to leave and wished he could go to Xue Mansion with Zikui.

Lin Zikui: "But I have agreed with my teacher that I will come back every month to see you."

Xiao Fu carried the parrot and sat in the carriage to send Lin Zikui to Xue's house. He knew that they would be separated for a month, and he could not sit still in the bumpy carriage. He pressed Lin Zikui against the wall of the carriage and kissed him gently but fiercely. Lin Zikui was kissed until she was speechless. Her face turned red like a cooked shrimp, and her saliva unconsciously flowed from the corners of her mouth to her neck. Then Xiao Zhaoling licked and kissed her neck and Adam's apple. She had a satisfied look on her face, as if she was tasting the most delicious delicacy. She thought her husband was so sweet.

Lin Zikui was holding onto the carriage cushion with his five fingers, and suddenly felt something: "Madam, why are you, again..."

The lady always has a dagger erected.

Every time I would tease him together. Lin Zikui was weak-willed and was quickly defeated and surrendered.

But that was home, this was a carriage, and they were about to arrive at Prime Minister Xue's residence. Lin Zikui finally knew how to restrain himself and lifted the curtain to let in some air: "I want to see the teacher, you can't kiss me anymore."

"I know, no more kisses..." Xiao Fu looked at his appearance and couldn't help but put his lips close to his ear and kissed him. He held his palm and said, "One last kiss. I'll let Jin Zun follow you. I'll go back to Jinling. When you have a day off, I'll pick you up at Xue Mansion, okay?"

“Okay, okay…” Lin Zikui pulled the collar of his shirt.

Xue Xiang’s old house in Huainan was not very big, and it could not be called a golden house, but there were many women and maids in the family.

Xiao Fu thought of the young lady of the Xue family, and when he sent him off the carriage, he specifically reminded him: "The Xue family has many female relatives, and you are pretty and well-educated. If someone takes a fancy to you, remember to tell them that you have a family and will not take concubines."

"I know." Lin Zikui believed that monogamy should be promoted, and if he could become a high-ranking official in the future, he would reform this law.

It’s no wonder that Xiao Fu was worried. If Lin Zikui was a homosexual, then he wouldn’t be afraid. Is there any man in the world better than himself?

Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "My dear, do you like women more or men more now?"

What is the problem?

Lin Zikui: "I've already married you, and you ask me what I like, whether it's a man or a woman, it's not Zhao Ling after all."

Xiao Fu looked into his eyes seriously and knew that his answer was not meant to coax him. Zi Kui was soft-hearted and generous, so how could Xiao Fu not like him?

After watching Lin Zikui enter Xue's mansion, with only a servant boy and a guard named Jin Zun by his side, Xiao Fu asked the coachman to set off: "Change the route to Jinling."

The carriage was shaking violently, and there was a box of Lin Zikui's clothes in the carriage that he had forgotten to take away. Xiao Fu took them out and saw that they were all Lin Lang's clothes. He put the clothes under his nose and smelled it. He could hardly smell any odor, but could vaguely smell the scent of Lin Zikui.

Xiao Fu thought about it and decided not to send the carriage back. He kept the clothes with him as they would still be useful.
