"Why, do you want to give me more offspring?"

After Shan Zuo left, in the pavilion of the Fanyin Pavilion garden, Hua Qingcheng saw Yu Xiaotian staring at Xiaobai and Hongfu who were playing nearby, and couldn't help but joke.

"Your Highness~"

Yu Xiaotian, whose hand was being pulled by Hua Qingcheng, couldn't help but blush when he heard this.

"How could you be so distant from me?" Hua Qingcheng tightly gripped Yu Xiaotian's hand and looked at him pretending to be angry.

"Without rules, there is no order. Your Highness the Crown Princess's status is no longer the same as it was before..."

Yu Xiaotian always remembered his eldest brother's instructions in his heart, and he must not make any mistakes and cause trouble for Hua Qingcheng. However, he looked at Hua Qingcheng with a hint of helplessness in his bright eyes. He actually missed the days in Huaqiao Village. Although they were poor, he lived happily with his wife and brothers every day. His life was busy and fulfilling.

"Shiyi, Shiran, we don't need you to serve us here, please go down first." Hua Qingcheng waved to Yu Xiaotian's two personal servants who were standing beside her with their brows lowered.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Upon hearing this, Shiyi and Shiran bowed and walked away, their words and actions being extremely respectful.

"Xiaotian, they've all left. Now it's just you and me here. Do you still want to keep your distance from me?"

Hua Qingcheng rubbed Yu Xiaotian's hand and gently kissed the back of his hand. This young man looked even whiter and softer. His originally thin hands had a little more flesh, and it felt very good to hold them.

Back in Huaqiao Village, Hua Qingcheng had always worked very hard to make money, just to give her husbands a better life and to support them in wealth. Now, they were indeed supported in wealth, but she had to go to the Imperial Academy, where she had a heavy workload and had to learn how to handle state affairs. She was very busy every day and could not spend as much time with them as before.

Hua Qingcheng not only hopes that her husbands will improve their material lives, but also that they can live happily. However, now that her husband seems a little unhappy, Hua Qingcheng feels guilty.

"Master Wife~"

Hua Qingcheng's scorching gaze was so hot that the blush on Yu Xiaotian's handsome face deepened.

"Alright, if Xiaotian likes to be called that, I'd be happy to hear it too."

Hua Qingcheng pulled Yu Xiaotian to sit next to her, put her arm around his shoulder, and their heads leaned lightly together, looking warm and sweet.

"Xiaotian~"

Hua Qingcheng held Yu Xiaotian in her arms, letting him half-lying with his head resting on her thighs, and her right hand gently stroked his handsome face from time to time.

"Master Wife~"

Yu Xiaotian's clear peach blossom eyes were shining and charming, staring at Hua Qingcheng who was looking at him tenderly.

In an instant, Yu Xiaotian felt as if he had returned to Huaqiao Village, back to the bare, wind-swept west wing of the Hua family's house at the end of the village. That night, Hua Qingcheng gently held his face, shedding tears of tenderness and love on it, caressing the scars on his body, and step by step into his heart...

Recalling every little detail of the past, Yu Xiaotian found himself in tears without realizing it.

"Why are you crying when you're fine?"

Looking at the delicate young man crying in her arms, Hua Qingcheng's heart suddenly softened. She took out a brocade handkerchief (embroidered by Yu Xiaotian) from her bosom and gently wiped away the tears from the man's face.

"My dear wife, Xiaotian suddenly remembered the days in Huaqiao Village..." Yu Xiaotian choked slightly.

"If Xiaotian likes it, after Brother Li finishes his confinement and the weather warms up, I will take you back to Huaqiao Village to live for a while."

Hua Qingcheng gently held Yu Xiaotian's face, leaned down, and kissed his beautiful eyes with great tenderness. Her movements were light, slow, affectionate and gentle.

"Okay~"

Although it might not be easy for Hua Qingcheng to leave Beijing now, Yu Xiaotian was still deeply moved when he heard what she said.

"Xiaotian, this afternoon I went to the woods on the border between the east and central parts of the city to look for Qiyan. There, more than a dozen masked men in black were found dead. I haven't showered or changed my clothes yet. I'll wash off this filth later, and then I'll go with you..."

Hua Qingcheng smiled meaningfully at the man who was half lying in her arms, her bright eyes flashing with cunning.

"Master Wife~"

Yu Xiaotian's cheeks became hot when Hua Qingcheng looked at him, and red clouds appeared on his face until his face was completely red.

"Let's go. Accompany me to have dinner now." Hua Qingcheng helped Yu Xiaotian up, then took his hand and went to the dining hall.

At the hour of Xu, after dinner, Hua Qingcheng and Yu Xiaotian strolled in the garden.

"Xiaotian, maybe I sweated during the day, and I suddenly feel an itch on my back. I have to go back to take a shower now. Can you come with me and rub my back..."

In the corridor, under the soft palace lanterns, Hua Qingcheng hugged Yu Xiaotian's neck, put her forehead against his, rubbed her ears against his, and spoke softly in a low voice.

"Master Wife~"

"Don't you have four personal maids? If that doesn't work, don't you still have the monks who can..."

Yu Xiaotian's cheeks turned red after hearing what Hua Qingcheng said, and he lowered his head lower and lower.

"I don't like maids to serve me, but as for those eunuchs..."

Hua Qingcheng's lips curled up slightly, and she lifted Yu Xiaotian's chin lightly, "They were originally men, but they were castrated. I feel uncomfortable letting them see my body."

"Yu Xiaotian, are you getting too bold? Could it be that... you want to disobey your wife's orders?" Hua Qingcheng pinched Yu Xiaotian's face lightly as if to punish him, and looked at him with pretended anger.

"Master Wife~"

Yu Xiaotian rubbed his face that was ravaged by Hua Qingcheng, opened his pair of clear peach blossom eyes, and looked at Hua Qingcheng innocently, just like a little puppy with drooping ears, looking cute and adorable.

"Yu Xiaotian, you little puppy!"

“Ah~”

"Wife, you..."

Before Yu Xiaotian could comprehend what Hua Qingcheng meant by "little milk dog," he suddenly felt his entire body lighten. Hua Qingcheng had lifted him up by the waist and was walking towards the Princess's bedroom.

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess!"

Wherever Hua Qingcheng walked, the palace maids all knelt down to pay their respects. Yu Xiaotian, who was being held by Hua Qingcheng, felt ashamed to face anyone and buried his face in her chest.

When Hua Qingcheng returned to the bathtub in the Princess's bedroom, the palace servants had already prepared hot water and sprinkled rose petals on it.

"Okay, you are not needed to serve here, please leave!" Hua Qingcheng waved to the palace people after putting Yu Xiaotian down.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Upon hearing this, the palace maids all lowered their heads and eyes, not looking around randomly, but bowed their bodies and walked away, looking cautious and dutiful.

"Little Tiantian~"

"Isn't it time to undress your wife and help her bathe?"

After the palace maids left, Hua Qingcheng grabbed Yu Xiaotian and looked at him with a smile.
