"Qingqing, you..."

Mu Lige felt as if her cheeks were roasted by fire, burning unbearably. Her originally fair face turned red, like the gorgeous sunset in the sky, emitting a charming glow.

"Brother Li, since we're married, we're husband and wife. It's perfectly normal for a husband and wife to perform the rituals of Zhougong. Why should you be shy?"

Hua Qingcheng glanced at Mu Lige with a half-smile, only to see his face flush even redder, as if blood was about to drip out. She suppressed her inner laughter and said in a serious tone, "What's wrong with me sleeping with my own man? It's only natural!"

Seeing Mu Lige's shocked expression, Hua Qingcheng coughed twice, calmed down a little, and then added slowly: "However, Brother Li, your body has not recovered yet, so I will naturally not be so impatient. We can enjoy the pleasure of love after you recover. Hehe, don't worry, I am not such a beast that I can make you purple now..."

At this moment, even Mu Lige, a man who always thought highly of himself and was a man of the male chauvinism, could not help but admire the uninhibited young wife before him. After all, he could never say such straightforward and suggestive words...

Thinking of this, Mu Lige's face turned even redder, like a ripe apple, and even his ears felt slightly hot.

"Qing... Qingqing, I heard that at the palace banquet today, the third princess of Lengyue Kingdom, Gongyang Jiezhen, openly asked for the hand of Feng Lingqian, the second son of the General's Mansion, on behalf of her mother, Gongyang Yingyi. Is this true?" Mu Lige changed the subject, fearing that his young wife might say something shocking again.

Hua Qingcheng and Mu Lige hugged each other and lay back on the bed. Hua Qingcheng nodded and smiled slightly, "It's true, but Qi Yan easily defeated it. Qi Yan... is a clever little girl!"

When Hua Qingcheng mentioned Feng Qiyan, her bright eyes flashed with admiration. In her opinion, her cousin would have a promising future, and perhaps even surpass Feng Cailan, or even Feng Jingyun and Mulanjin in achievement.

Hearing Hua Qingcheng's words, Mu Lige couldn't help but think of Feng Qiyan calling him brother-in-law with a serious face, waving her little fist, and vowing that if Hua Qingcheng let him down, she would stand up for him.

Thinking of this, Mu Lige couldn't help but raise a faint smile on his face, and then he said half seriously and half jokingly: "Feng Qiyan is indeed the smartest child I have ever met!"

Hua Qingcheng, who didn't understand the situation, nodded without thinking, agreeing with Mu Lige's opinion.

"Brother Li, the Queen Mother seems to be always following Dad. Duan Yunfei is constantly lurking around the General's Mansion, hoping for a 'chance encounter' with Dad. The matchmakers in the capital are even more eager to demolish the General's Mansion..."

Hua Qingcheng's hand slipped into Mu Lige's clothes without leaving a trace, but accidentally touched two soft and surging warm balls. She shuddered all over, and suddenly remembered that Mu Lige was still breastfeeding..."

"Ahem..." Hua Qingcheng quickly withdrew her hand as if she had received an electric shock, and instead hugged Mu Lige's neck. At this time, her fingers did not stop, gently scratching Mu Lige's neck.

"Brother Li, what do you think Dad is thinking about? Is he planning to reconcile with Mother, or is he looking for someone else to marry?"

Mu Lige felt Hua Qingcheng's warm fingertips, which were as gentle as feathers, teasing her neck wantonly. Her heart couldn't help but feel a surge of heat. She wanted to immediately press this hateful little wife under her and love her mercilessly...

However, he knew that this was not the right time, so he could only suppress his inner impulse temporarily and secretly record this "debt" to Hua Qingcheng in his heart, and wait to settle the score with her in the future...

"Qingqing..." Mu Lige's throat rolled slightly. He tried hard to put aside the charming thoughts in his mind and said seriously, "Qingqing, I'm afraid neither of them is what Dad wants. Perhaps Dad and the Queen Mother were once deeply in love, but seventeen years have passed like flowing water, enough to dilute many beautiful things..."

"Dad...perhaps he just wants to quietly guard his family, such as Grandma and Grandpa, as well as Aunt, Uncle, and Qi Yan, to make up for the regret of being separated from them for the past seventeen years. Of course, deep down in his heart, he may even want to be by your side, but unfortunately, reality does not allow it..."

Mu Lige gently kissed Hua Qingcheng's forehead, his tone suddenly becoming more serious. "Although Daddy has changed his name to Feng Lingqian, he is still the Queen Mother's legitimate husband. Regardless of whether Daddy will fall in love with someone else, and regardless of whether the Queen Mother would allow Daddy to fall in love with someone else, Daddy himself would never act like that."

Upon hearing this, Hua Qingcheng looked up and stared at Mu Lige. Her watery eyes shimmered with a hint of doubt.

As if guessing Hua Qingcheng's thoughts, Mu Lige gently stroked her face, his eyes filled with sweet tenderness: "When a mother and a father love their children, they will always have far-reaching plans for them. Since I have a daughter like you who is the Crown Princess, how could I let your identity be flawed and give others a handle?"

Mu Lige's words were like a blow to the head, sending a sudden shock through Hua Qingcheng's heart. The next moment, Hua Qingcheng's gaze dimmed slightly, a hint of heartache in her eyes: "Dad...it seems like I've finally implicated him..."

"No, Qingqing." Mu Lige gently lifted Hua Qingcheng's face and kissed her lips tenderly, "For Dad, your well-being is his greatest happiness..."

Hua Qingcheng's throat tightened upon hearing this, and a wave of emotion surged in her heart. The image of the world-renowned Young Master Feng smiling gently at her surfaced in her mind...

Then, Hua Qingcheng said solemnly, "Brother Li, I have made up my mind. Whether Dad wants to reconcile with the Queen Mother or falls in love with someone else, I will support him unconditionally. Even if he wants to have everyone, the worst that can happen is that he can marry them all..."

Hearing Hua Qingcheng's words, Mu Lige's mouth twitched slightly.

Clearly, he had underestimated his young wife. Laifeng was a land where women were respected, yet his young wife had the guts to ask her father to have three wives and four concubines. I wonder if their mother, the queen, would be so enraged she'd spit out blood again after hearing this?
