Almost uncontrollably, he turned over, pressed her against the railing of the pavilion and kissed her on the lips.

The maids nearby all lowered their heads to look at the ground, silently repeating "Don't look at anything inappropriate" in their hearts.

Jiang Muyu tightly grasped his sleeve for fear that she would slip down. Her body was a little stiff and her back was a little painful against the railing.

Apparently aware of her predicament, he held her waist and changed their position, letting her be on top.

Jiang Muyu pushed him, shrank back, and quietly refused: "There are people next to us."

"Shy?" His voice was low and hoarse, with the heaviness of a cello: "Then shall we go back to the house?"

"Uh... I'm not..."

However, before she could finish her words, she was picked up by someone and walked towards Qingyu Courtyard.

It was obvious that he had been single for too long. The desire in his body was like dry firewood that had been baked in the scorching sun for hundreds of days. It would burn fiercely as soon as it encountered a small flame.

Jiang Muyu's weak resistance had no effect at all. In broad daylight, she was pressed on the couch and tortured for the entire afternoon.

If she hadn't said she'd have the children brought back for dinner, he would have probably fought till dawn.

Jiang Muyu lay on the soft pillow, covered only with a thin blanket, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead and cheeks.

Liang Qingchen lay on his side with a satisfied look on his face, his broad, thinly woven hands covering her waist under the quilt and kneading it gently.

"Zhao Zhao is becoming more and more fragile now."

She didn't even have the energy to roll her eyes: "Who do you think is as tired as you?"

"If you still find this matter tiring, I'm afraid that if it gets out, I'll lose all my face."

She laughed softly.

"What are you laughing at?" he asked.

Jiang Muyu tilted her head slightly to look at him: "Did you have a maid before you married me?"

"No." He answered straightforwardly, paused, and then said: "From beginning to end, there was only this one person."

She couldn't help but feel a little happy. Although she knew that in ancient times most men would have maids before getting married, and having three wives and four concubines was normal, she had lived in modern times before and was still somewhat traditional in her bones. She was unwilling to share her man with others.

"You are so energetic, did you solve all the problems on your own before you married me?"

I didn't expect her to ask so bluntly. Even Liang Qingchen, who was thick-skinned, couldn't help but blush: "I... wasn't keen on this matter in the past."

Jiang Muyu looked back and it seemed that way. Even before, they rarely had sex. Most of the time, it was just a routine, with each doing their own part.

She didn't ask any more questions, closed her eyes, and felt sleepy.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Speak." Liang Qingchen said.

Yunyan's voice came: "The prince, the princess, and Miss Nanxing have all returned home, and dinner is ready."

"Um."

After getting the response, Yun Yan hurriedly retreated.

In fact, she also hesitated outside the yard for a long time. Seeing that the sky was getting darker and the people in the house showed no sign of coming out, she had no choice but to go and remind them.

Jiang Muyu's newly-arising sleepiness was instantly dispelled, and he propped himself up and sat up.

Liang Qingchen looked at her and asked, "Is it okay?"

Although it was a very common question, she felt insulted and immediately got off the bed, saying in a relaxed tone, "I'm fine."

Watching her putting on her clothes one by one, he smiled helplessly and walked behind her to help her tie the belt at the back of her clothes.

Jiang Muyu simply let him help her get dressed and asked casually, "When are you leaving tomorrow?"

"Leave at night."

She nodded in understanding: "Do I still need to go to the palace tomorrow?"

"No need, the emperor will send someone to the palace to pick you up when the time comes."

"Um."

After both of them were ready, they left Qingyu Courtyard together.

Yunyan was waiting outside. When she saw them coming out, she asked, "Madam, where should we go for dinner?"

They still have to leave the place for the servants to clean up, so it is naturally not suitable for having dinner.

Liang Qingchen said: "Let's go to He'er's courtyard."

"Yes." Yun Yan then stepped back to make arrangements.

…

Inside the Purple Bamboo Courtyard.

The table was filled with dishes, all of which Jiang Muyu had started preparing a few days ago.

It's rare for a family to be together.

As Liang Jinghe grows older, his temperament has become more calm and stable. He is just serious in front of outsiders, but appears much gentler in front of his relatives.

Liang Jingtang is still the same as before, only he has grown older. However, his mind seems to have grown back and he is now very naughty and lively.

Nanxing has become more and more beautiful recently, with outstanding facial features, especially her eyes. Her eyelashes are thick and curled, her pupils are light in color, and the tails of her eyes are slightly upturned. Her eyes have a cold expression, but when she looks at you, she has a charming look.

Now everyone outside knows that she is the adopted daughter of King Rui. Although they may criticize her in private, they dare not offend her in public.

"I heard that Nanxing's martial arts has improved a lot. Why don't you show me a few moves with Xu Lang after dinner?" Liang Qingchen looked at her with a smile.

Nanxing nodded: "Okay."

Tangtang suddenly interrupted, "Dad, why don't you let sister Nanxing and brother compete with each other? When they are on vacation at home, they often practice together. You can also help brother to see if he is slacking off."

After hearing these words, they were both stunned and looked at Tangtang at the same time.

Liang Jinghe smiled helplessly: "Girl, are you looking for an opportunity to take revenge?"

"I didn't." She stuck out her tongue.

But in my heart I thought: Who told you to go to the hunting ground last time without taking me with you?

Liang Qingchen agreed with her suggestion: "Tangtang is right. Your mother said that you are the best in both academics and martial arts. Your father also wants to take a look."

Liang Jinghe glanced at Nanxing, and since the other party had no objection, he nodded in agreement.

After dinner, several people gathered in the yard.

Liang Jinghe and Nanxing stood opposite each other, preparing for the competition, while Liang Qingchen watched from the side.

Jiang Muyu took Tangtang to find a tree and squatted under it to watch.

Tangtang was puzzled and asked, "Mom, why do we have to watch it here?"

Jiang Muyu replied: "The view here is good, and the distance is far, so it is not easy to be affected."

“But why do we have to squat?”

"Uh... Mommy's back isn't in good condition, so she shouldn't stand for long periods of time."

Tangtang moved closer and whispered, "Mom, why is your waist hurting again? Do you want me to rub it for you?"

Jiang Muyu held his forehead awkwardly: "No... no need, it will be fine in two days."

"Oh, okay."

Things started to gain momentum over there, and Tangtang's attention was instantly diverted.

I watched the two men fighting with their bare hands, their punches hitting each other's flesh, making loud bangs, and then both of them were knocked back by the force. After a short rest, they started fighting again, and the whole yard was filled with flying dust.

She was excited but couldn't help frowning: "Mom, won't it hurt when they fight like this?"

Jiang Muyu's eyes twitched, and he said uncertainly: "Maybe... it will hurt a little..."

"Brother and sister Nanxing always use swords, why doesn't father let them compete with swords?"

"Maybe they are afraid that the weapon might hurt the other party?" She was not sure: "Let's ask your father later."

If you ask her how to run a business or manage finances, she might be able to tell you a lot, but if you ask her about martial arts, she really knows nothing about it.

In fact, she had thought about learning martial arts to save her life, but after a few days of hard training, she found that she was not cut out for it.

This body has been pampered for more than twenty years. It would easily get bruised if it was slightly bumped. Not to mention wielding a sword or a gun. I'm afraid I might lose my life if I'm not careful.

After fighting for more than ten rounds, the winner was finally decided.

Liang Jinghe won.

Jiang Muyu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "As expected of the male protagonist of the novel, a perfect human child."
