Once a man tastes the sweetness of meat, he becomes addicted and insatiable.
Qin Zhuo was highly skilled in martial arts and physically strong, and after tasting the benefits, he became even more enthusiastic about this pursuit.
This was a real hardship for Shen Ning.
It's not that I don't like him, it's just that I feel like I'll die in his bed sooner or later.
Ten days after her marriage, she couldn't stand it and ran away to the palace to keep the Empress Dowager company.
However, she fell asleep in the palace that night and woke up in their bridal chamber the next day.
Qin Zhuo pecked at her repeatedly, asking, "Wife, are you awake?"
Shen Ning closed her eyes: Dead!
A month after their marriage, Shen Ning was almost completely drained. Unable to bear it any longer, she packed her bags and set off again with the caravan.
Quietly, without alerting anyone.
Qin Zhuo, who found himself abandoned in less than an hour, was initially angry but then laughed in exasperation.
You want to dump him again? No way!
Anyway, the young emperor has already established himself, and there's no way he'd stay here like a statue waiting for his wife.
Then Qin Zhuo packed his bags and ran away.
Upon learning the news, the emperor: ......
He couldn't control the couple, but Qin Zhuo shouldn't expect to have any peace and quiet either.
He hastily wrote an imperial edict and sent it to Qin Zhuo with a golden token.
He arranged for Qin Zhuo to be an imperial envoy, so that he would have to do work along the way and also use this identity to protect Shen Ning.
As expected, Qin Zhuo did not refuse. Instead, he used this identity to live a carefree and unrestrained life, having a great time.
This time, their absence lasted even longer than the last time, a full year and a half.
Li Yan received news that they were coming back, and he and the Empress Dowager counted down the days in anticipation.
Then the person came back, carrying another child in their arms.
Shen Ning gave birth to a daughter three months ago and returned home after completing her postpartum confinement.
They hadn't told her about the pregnancy, and suddenly she came back with a child. The Empress Dowager was overjoyed and insisted on taking care of the child. Afraid of not seeing her little niece, she forced all three of them to live in the palace.
The young emperor dislikes Qin Zhuo, but his little cousin is just too cute. She looks exactly like her older sister. What could the little cousin possibly do wrong?
Qin Zhuo, his face dark, snatched his daughter away, saying, "Stay away from my daughter. You're spitting all over her face. Isn't that disgusting?"
Li Yan held his little cousin tightly and wouldn't let go: "You should stay away from her, don't let her learn bad habits from you, she's annoying."
Qin Zhuo: "I am her biological father!"
Li Yan: "I'm still her cousin!"
Shen Ning was too lazy to leave those two childish brats who would peck at each other whenever they met, so she simply left them behind and went out of the palace to see her good sister.
Princess Chang Le gave birth to a son, but Shen Ning encountered some trouble at the time and was unable to return in time.
Although I gave a handmade gift, I still felt guilty because I couldn't see it in person.
Shen Ning had prepared many gifts this time. She first met Princess Chang Le, and then went to the Prince Qi's mansion with her.
The child shares the surname Li with Princess Chang Le and is included in the imperial family genealogy, making him a member of the Qi Prince's household.
King Qi and Queen Qi were overjoyed; this was no mere grandson, but their own grandson.
Li Kun and Lu Shuying were ultimately defeated by reality. Without their family's financial support, they compromised with their families less than six months after leaving home.
However, the King and Queen of Qi were completely disappointed in him.
If Li Kun wants to go back, let him go back. Anyway, they're in a separate courtyard, so out of sight, out of mind. They don't care if he wants to marry Lu Shuying anymore.
The two did not hold a wedding ceremony, but Lu Shuying is now Li Kun's wife.
However, the King and Queen did not care about their son. Compared to Princess Chang Le, he, the heir apparent of the King of Qi, was overshadowed.
He himself was not ambitious, but he resented Princess Chang Le. Seeing that Princess Chang Le's son was so loved by his parents and had even changed his surname to Li, he began to worry that his own position was insecure.
Lu Shuying's daughter was barely saved, but she was physically weak. Lu Shuying did not recover well after giving birth to her daughter and was unable to conceive again.
Li Kun was eager for a son, so he eventually took another woman as a concubine.
His two concubines were also quite capable, both becoming pregnant one after the other. But how could Lu Shuying just stand by and watch someone else give birth to a son and climb over her head?
He directly administered drugs, causing both of his concubines to miscarry.
The couple was now arguing so fiercely that Princess Qi, fearing they might go mad and harm her grandson, simply sent them all to the estate.
Shen Ning held her adorable godson, pinching his soft little bottom and having a great time.
"Human hearts are treacherous. The more the prince and princess like Yi'er, the less you can afford to be careless."
Li Xuan nodded: "I know. I only have one child, and I will never give anyone the chance to hurt him."
Shen Ning knew she was capable; she just needed to be wary.
After talking about the others, Li Xuan started to wistfully ask about her daughter: "When are you going back to the palace? I want to go see our daughter with you."
I've been holding my son for almost a year now, but my daughter is still so warm.
Moreover, the more she takes care of her son, the more heartbroken she becomes. Now he clings to his maternal grandparents and doesn't cling to his biological mother at all. She now longs to hold her soft, cuddly daughter.
Shen Ning's daughter is practically her own; she's her beloved daughter~~~
Shen Ning: "......"
What do you call this? Does the food next door smell good?
Shen Ning is not planning to leave for the time being after returning this time. The trade routes she wants to establish are already mature, and the talents she has trained can complete them perfectly without her intervention.
Now that she has finished what she needed to do and visited all the places she wanted to go, she has some free time to prepare for Liuying and Yuzhu's wedding.
The two are now among her top housekeepers, and they are becoming more and more mature and steady in their work. However, they both said that they are not in a hurry to get married.
Shen Ning wasn't in a hurry. Anyway, she had time to think it over slowly. When it comes to spending her life with someone, she should choose the one she was most satisfied with.
