"That's incredibly stupid."

Seeing that Chi Yuan didn't say anything more, Shen Yulou poked his swollen face hard with her finger.

"Have you realized it yet?"

"Like me, like me!"

He held the baby and suddenly stood up from the bed.

This child is teachable!

Shen Meiren nodded and pressed the person back to the bedside.

"How do you feel now?"

"That's amazing!"

Chi Yuan lay back, using the thick quilt as a pillow, and lifted the baby in his arms high.

"You fairies are amazing! Did you make him look like this?"

Shen Yulou also lay down, propping his head up and gently poking Chi Yuan's face.

“I didn’t make him grow up like this. He was born from the fusion of my blood and your essence.”

"No, when did you hire assassins to steal my blood again? How come I didn't know?"

His Majesty's focus has strayed.

“You can extract blood from everything. I had someone steal your hair to extract it.”

Shen Meiren snatched her son back and let him lie on her chest.

After patting his little bottom for a while, the little guy quickly fell asleep.

"So what's your real name?"

"My name is Shen Yulou."

"What a lovely name! I like it! But it sounds so familiar..."

The couple lay on the bed chatting idly, and he too closed his eyes in a daze, until Wanfu came in to deliver a message and woke up.

"Serve the meal!"

With a triumphant shout, Wan Fu presented a stream of exquisite dishes to the table.

After eating wild game for so long, Shen Yulou was finally able to have a proper meal.

Finally, he cleared all the food off the table, rubbed his stomach, slumped in his chair, and drank herbal tea.

"Is it good?"

"well enough."

I looked down at the flower tea in my hand, then carefully savored the floral aroma in my mouth.

"Nothing special, it's just ordinary flower tea."

"A standard, unremarkable flavor."

This is the taste he usually drinks.

"Oh, Your Highness, this is no ordinary flower tea. It was picked and dried by His Majesty himself in the Imperial Garden."

Wanfu was directing the palace servants to clean up the mess when he heard Shen Yulou's words and hurriedly came to his side to claim credit for his emperor.

"Oh~"

Shen Yulou suddenly realized what was going on and said something, then decided to respond with a blessing.

"It really does taste good, unlike anything you can buy outside."

"What's different?"

It was Chi Yuan's turn to question him.

"The taste is different. The dried flowers you picked yourself have a dragon's aura."

"In that case, drink more."

It seems His Majesty the Emperor was not satisfied with the answer, and refilled Shen Yulou's half-empty cup.

"I'm not drinking anymore, I need to go to the bathroom if I drink too much!"

Shen Yulou touched her round belly, feeling a bit like she was back when she was pregnant with her baby.

But last time it was filled with baby foxes, this time it's filled with squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, flower tea, tofu pudding, mung bean sweet soup, fried mantou (steamed buns), and stir-fried potatoes, green peppers, and eggplant...

Chi Yuan's hands instantly began to itch.

He wanted to touch it too!

He dared not touch the baby's round belly, but Shen Yulou was different.

What are you doing?

Before his hand could even touch Shen Yulou's stomach, it was forcefully slapped away.

"Your face is swollen enough, now you want your hands to swell up too?"

Chi Yuan shook his head.

In no mood.

If he gets any more swollen, he'll really turn into a pig.

He obediently folded his hands together and placed them on his knees.

"Alright, I'm full. I'm going back to the Prince of Jin's residence."

After the palace servants finished packing up, they all left the palace. Shen Yulou looked at the sky outside and was already ready to run home.

Are you really not going to stay here for the night?

"Where will I stay? In your bed?"

Shen Meiren pinched Chi Yuan's chin and kissed his thin lips hard.

"No, what are you thinking about? Staying in the side hall."

Chi Yuan's earlobes were so red they looked like they could drip blood.

"Staying in a side hall? I'd rather go back to the Prince of Jin's mansion and sleep on my wooden bed. I'm not used to sleeping in a side hall."

Shen Meiren shrugged.

This was a difficult matter, so he decided not to proceed.
