Chapter 85
These fire-avoidance diagrams do exist, and they are usually shown to the groom before the wedding night. The bride can also see them, but many girls are very shy about this and will mostly refuse, fearing that if they look at them even once, they will become a woman with lewd behavior.
Xia Zi never expected that the Crown Princess would actively request to see the Fire Avoidance Chart, which ordinary girls would avoid at all costs.
Shen Qingnian ignored Xia Zi's surprised expression. She picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and then said calmly, "What? Does Eunuch Xia have any objections?"
She did this on purpose, and once Xiaxiazi found out, Song Xuan naturally found out as well.
Xia Zi then realized that he had overstepped his bounds and quickly knelt down: "Please forgive me, Your Highness, this servant dares not have any objections."
The Crown Princess was known for her gentleness, so this cold and serious demeanor made her seem particularly imposing, which surprised him somewhat.
I had thought the Crown Princess was a gentle person, but it seems that she is not entirely like that. However, if the Crown Princess is more serious, she can better manage the Eastern Palace.
Shen Qingnian waved her hand: "Then I'll trouble Eunuch Xia."
Xiazi respectfully withdrew from the main hall and returned to the door of the study. He looked at the closed door, thought for a moment, and then gently pushed it open.
Song Xuan was engrossed in handling official business when he noticed Xia Zi enter. He asked casually, "What is it?"
Xia Zi's expression was conflicted. After a few moments, she cautiously spoke, "Your Highness, it's about the Crown Princess..."
Upon hearing that it concerned Shen Qingnian, Song Xuan paused in his writing and immediately looked at Xia Zi, signaling him to continue.
Xia Zi kept his head bowed low and said nervously, "The Crown Princess just summoned me and asked... asked me to bring her the palace's fire prevention map..."
In the end, Xia Zi wished he could bury his face in the ground. He was unsure of the Crown Prince's attitude towards such a strange event and could only report the matter with trepidation.
A glint of light flashed in Song Xuanwen's gentle eyes. He smiled slightly and then said, "The Crown Princess is in charge of the Eastern Palace. Her words are my will."
The meaning of this is self-evident.
Although Xia Zi was somewhat conflicted, he nodded repeatedly: "This servant understands."
He wanted to offer a few words of advice to His Highness, but dared not speak. He could only ponder in his heart how to appease the Imperial Household Department the next day...
Xiazi hurriedly went down to find the fire-avoidance map. He didn't dare to order his subordinates to do it, so he had to do it himself.
Meanwhile, Song Xuan, who was originally handling government affairs in his study, couldn't calm down at all.
He had been quite unrestrained for the past three days, embracing his beloved and making love to her several times every night, sometimes until dawn before he finally let her go.
He intended to focus his attention back on government affairs from this day forward, but he never expected that the other party would actually take the initiative to seek out the fire-avoidance map...
Thinking of this, Song Xuan's Adam's apple bobbed, his thoughts surging and he could no longer calm down.
He used to be indifferent to this matter, never thinking that love between men and women was particularly pleasurable, until he met Qing Nian, at which point he could no longer maintain his composure and self-control.
He longed for nights of passionate lovemaking...

at night.
After washing up, Shen Qingnian sat on the chaise lounge. She wore a light purple dress, with only a jasmine hairpin in her hair, and red jade earrings that shone brightly against the palace lanterns.
