Chapter 68: Peeling an Orange And Yan Shu also peeled the outer layer like an orange...

Yan Shu was worried about where to go. After all, there were only three days, and it was impossible for her to visit all the places.

Hearing that Mrs. Xin was a local, he immediately listened attentively.

This Yan Gu Pass is located in Sanchun County, which is also the eastern border of the current Xiao State.

Compared to Yongcheng, the local customs and people here are more warm and rough.

However, this place, situated on the border and a strategic military base, is characterized by its rugged terrain and the presence of a long river, resulting in numerous natural landscapes such as canyons, rocky peaks, and waterfalls. While the Guanxia market isn't as bustling as Yongcheng, it's still quite interesting and lively.

There are many local specialties, including 铏羹, 石子頭, mung bean jelly, 燕谷烤鸡, and ancient river carp.

"These are the most authentic specialties of our area. If there's anything new, there's a tavern recently opened by someone from the Western Regions in the market. I heard the various fruit and vegetable wines they serve are delicious. If your Majesty is interested, you can go try it one of these days."

"People from the Western Regions?" Yan Shu thought of the Western Regions caravan she saw at the foot of the gate tower today, and felt a little curious.

Mrs. Xin nodded and talked more about the Western Region Tavern. Yan Shu listened to Mrs. Xin's lively and interesting introduction and immediately became very interested. She wished that tomorrow afternoon would come soon.

Mrs. Xin was cheerful and generous, and Yan Shu got along quite well with her. Before they knew it, they had been chatting for the entire afternoon.

Yan Shu was making a three-day travel plan, and Mrs. Xin was giving her guidance.

Looking at the innocent eyes and tender thoughts of the girl in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh.

"The King and the Queen have such a good relationship."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shu blushed and couldn't help but look at Mrs. Xin's slightly bulging belly.

"Madam and General Li must be in love with each other."

When Mrs. Xin entered the inner room and stood to salute, her belly was not obvious. It was not until Yan Shu asked her to sit down that she saw her slightly bulging belly. After asking, she found out that Mrs. Xin was already four months pregnant.

She is only twenty-nine this year. She already has a son and is now pregnant with her second child.

Moreover, apart from Madam Xin, Li Yan had no other concubines in his harem. From this, we can see that the two of them had a very deep relationship.

When Madam Xin heard Yan Shu's words, her face flushed immediately. She touched her belly and replied a little embarrassedly:

"Your Majesty, you are joking. My husband and I are already an old married couple. How could we still have such thoughts?"

Yan Shu smiled, knowing that she was being modest. After all, if they didn't have feelings for each other, how could she act like a little girl when she mentioned General Li?

When Mrs. Xin saw that Yan Shu seemed interested in the child, she talked a few more words about some not-so-interesting things that happened when she was pregnant.

It’s just that Mrs. Xin’s story was interesting, and the listeners found it particularly interesting.

Finally, at Mrs. Xin's invitation, Yan Shu reached out and touched Mrs. Xin's bulging belly.

I just feel the touch is extremely magical.

Is it possible that a little life can be born in this way?

Was this how my mother was pregnant with me?

Seeing the girl seemed confused and ignorant, Mrs. Xin pursed her lips and smiled.

"When the queen has her own son or princess in the future, she won't find this a strange thing anymore."

Mrs. Xin's words fell on Yan Shu's heart, and even after she passed away, they continued to echo in her mind.

Yan Shu recalled how, at the beginning of her rebirth, she hadn't thought everything through, and had only imagined escaping her past life's fate by becoming pregnant with Xiao Yu's child. Looking back now, she felt she was too naive. If parents had no love, simply giving birth to a child without considering the child's future path would be a bit too selfish.

Fortunately, she was not pregnant. Otherwise, if Xiao Yu really hated her, even if she had the child, she and her mother would probably be treated coldly, just like when she was in Yan Palace.

But now that she and Xiao Yu have resolved their misunderstanding, if she gets pregnant at this time, the child should not suffer.

Yan Shu touched her belly which was motionless, feeling slightly melancholy.

If she was infected with the Hehuan Gu, the only way to cure it is to give birth to a child. What if Xiao Yu is really like King Xiao Wei and cannot have children?

And the aphrodisiac that Xiao Yu drank before might have been too strong and damaged his body.

The girl sat at the small table, her chin in her hand, lost in thought.

By the time Yan Shu finished writing the silk document about the three-day trip, it was already time for dinner.

It was already dark outside the window, and servants from the kitchen came in under the moonlight, delivering hot meals and soup.

And Xiao Yu also entered the inner room at this time.

Seeing the girl still leaning on the small couch looking at the silk, a smile suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Yan Shu naturally saw Xiao Yu as well, and immediately got up from the bed and excitedly took his hand and walked towards the small table.

"Come and see, I've been busy all afternoon. I haven't been lazy for a moment. It's really hard work."

Xiao Yu was led by her to sit on the small couch. When he saw the densely packed small words on the silk, his narrow eyes curved.

"Shushu is amazing."

Yan Shu was still chattering away explaining when she suddenly heard Xiao Yu's coaxing voice. Her ears instantly felt hot and her fair little face flushed, but she didn't deny it.

"I'm great in many ways." Yan Shu muttered, her cat-like eyes raised with pride.

Xiao Yu chuckled softly, lowered his head and said something to Yan Shu, which immediately made the little girl blush.

She threw the piece of silk in his face and cursed him in shame and anger.

Xiao Yu curled his lips, and after casually picking up the thin silk with his long fingers, his fairy-like face smiled in a very worthless way. Then he pinched the girl's face and blocked her rosy mouth that was still mumbling, to ask for the interest that he had not been close to for some time.

Suddenly, the inner room was filled with spring again.

It was not until Yan Shu sobbed and complained that the food would get cold if she didn't eat it that someone who was still not satisfied finally gave in.

Since leaving the palace for the past few days of patrolling, Yan Shu was really exhausted because of the inconvenience of riding in a carriage.

So the two of them had not had sex in the past few days, but after all, they were both young and energetic, and they were particularly attracted to each other, so it was inevitable that they had been thinking about it in their hearts.

So just a kiss at this moment made the girl's eyes sparkle and her cheeks flush with spring.

Needless to say, Xiao Yu's eyes were as black as ink, and he was already very proud of himself.

So when Yan Shu ate, she always felt that although she was eating meat, she felt more like a piece of fat meat being targeted by a wild beast.

Someone beside her was staring at her darkly and silently, like the big snake in her dream, which would eat her up bit by bit after she had eaten and drunk her fill.

In the end, it was naturally just as Yan Shu had expected. After the two of them finished their dinner and took a bath and lay on the couch in the guesthouse, Yan Shu felt like the plate of oranges on the table during dinner, being peeled bit by bit by Xiao Yu.

To peel the skin, you need to slowly tear off the white veins on the orange flesh.

Yan Shu also peeled the outside and the inside like an orange.

The thin nightgown and small clothes were thrown casually on the small couch covered with a soft blanket beside the bed, just like orange peels.

Finally it becomes clean, white and tender.

…

The autumn wind is rustling outside the window, and it is warm inside the tent.

After several indulgences, Yan Shu was lifted up and sat on top, with her waist held by him, and Bo Fa did not withdraw from her.

Yan Shu felt a little awkward and wanted to move away a little, but he pressed her down heavily.

Suddenly a sour smell spread out, and a lot of dirt was crushed out of the pottery.

Her dark eyes were misty, and she felt a little aggrieved and cursed him in a low voice.

However, Xiao Yu was rubbing her almost premature ejaculation, and laughing softly in a suppressed voice.

"Didn't Shushu say she wanted to show me how powerful you are? Why are you refusing to pay now?"

Yan Shu felt extremely regretful when she heard this.

Just now, she was being bullied by Xiao Yuya, and she was so angry that she said something big that she would let Xiao Yuya know how powerful she was.

Who knew that Xiao Yu actually took it seriously and even used it to make fun of her.

Yan Shu became anxious, thinking that she really had to prove herself tonight, so she moved her body vigorously several times.

But these few blows did not make Xiao Yu surrender, but instead made her unable to bear it, and she finally leaned on his shoulder and sobbed.

But crying did not make him soften his heart. Yan Shu was still like that orange, and was eaten clean by him.

After a long time, the clouds and rain gradually stopped.

After being held and bathed for a while, Yan Shu was already very sleepy when she lay down on the soft quilt.

But before going to sleep, Yan Shu drowsily remembered something, and even though her eyelids were almost unable to open, she still asked Xiao Yu, who was holding her in his arms, in a sticky tone.

"Is Brother Xun still drinking that medicine?"

Although Yan Shu was sleepy, she was still puzzled. After all, Xiao Yu had not taken the aphrodisiac during the few days he was out of the palace. How could he be so powerful tonight?

When Xiao Yu, who was standing at the side, heard this, a dark look suddenly flashed across his eyes, and then he lowered his eyes and gently kissed Yan Shu on the cheek.

"Of course I stopped. Why did Shushu suddenly ask this?"

Yan Shu was already extremely sleepy. Although she still had doubts in her mind, she couldn't resist the sleepiness that was slowly coming over her. So she didn't continue to ask any more questions. She just closed her eyes, found a comfortable position in his arms, and fell into a deep sleep.

Have a good night's sleep.

…

The next day, when Yan Shu woke up, it was already noon.

Xiao Yu had already finished his patrol, and they could go out together after Yan Shu had finished washing up.

Yan Shu didn't want the two of them to be too conspicuous on this trip.

He asked Xiao Yu to order someone to prepare a few sets of ordinary clothes for them.

After the change, they really started to feel like an ordinary couple.

However, the two of them were so outstanding in appearance that even though they were not dressed luxuriously, people still looked at them sideways when they walked in the market. There were even bold boys and girls who wanted to go up and talk to them.

However, the young man's expression was too cold, and he had a long sword on his waist, so his gloomy temperament scared away many people.

Xiao Yu looked displeased by these gazes and held the girl's hand even tighter.

Yan Shu was careless and didn't pay attention to it. All her thoughts were attracted by the bustling market.

Although it is not as prosperous as Yongcheng, the delicious food and fun things are all unique and completely different from the palace.

When she saw the white steam rising from the soup stall and the fragrant aroma wafting in the air, the little girl's almond eyes suddenly lit up and she took Xiao Yu's hand and looked at him.

"Let's go eat this, it's sure to be delicious."

Yan Shu deliberately skipped lunch today in order to save some space for strolling around the market. After all, Madam Xin said that there were so many delicious foods in Yan Guguan, and Yan Shu wanted to try them all.

Xiao Yu naturally had no objection. He took Yan Shu's hand and walked to the soup stall.

The busy proprietress looked up and saw the two of them. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she said attentively:

"Oh, what a beautiful young couple! What would you two like to eat?"
