Xiao Tao pointed inside the house, somewhat incoherently, "His Majesty...His Majesty is inside..."
Xingchun said with a laugh, "The Emperor has been here for a while now, and you're only finding out now?"
"No... sigh, never mind, I'll just leave it at that. I hope I don't get a sty tomorrow," Xiaotao said jokingly.
Xingchun was taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and smiled gently, "The Emperor dotes on our Consort, which is a good thing. Perhaps, a prince will be born soon."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tao immediately became excited, with a hint of anticipation in her voice, "Then His Majesty must dote on our Lady even more, and it would be best if she could give birth to a son in one go, so that our Lady's position would be even more secure..."
Rong Qingqing was unaware of the two maids' thoughts. At this moment, she was so engrossed in Xie Jingrun's kisses that she was about to lose control. She quickly pushed Xie Jingrun away and said breathlessly, "...I'm hungry, let's go eat."
Xie Jingrun buried his head in the crook of her neck for a long while before finally humming in agreement. He helped her up and then whispered in her ear, "You need to eat well to have the strength."
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing blushed, glared at him, and quickly jumped off the bed.
That jerk...
Seeing her flee in disarray, Xie Jingrun chuckled softly, got up, and followed her.
After dinner, it was still early, and Rong Qingqing was worried that if she stayed in the house, this guy would bother her again, so she suggested that they go for a walk in the garden to digest their food and prolong the time.
Just thinking about this guy's fighting prowess made her legs tremble.
Xie Jingrun did want to hold her and go to sleep as soon as possible, but seeing that she showed resistance, he did as she asked and accompanied her to the garden.
It's already April. The nights aren't too cold, but there's still a chill in the air.
When she came out, Rong Qingqing put on a cloak, took the lantern from Xiao Tao, and walked ahead first.
Xie Jingrun followed behind her casually.
After walking for a long time, seeing that she still didn't want to return to her bedchamber, he said helplessly, "You can't see anything clearly at night. If you like the scenery in the garden, come back during the day."
"I ate too much and wanted to walk around to digest," Rong Qingqing said somewhat guiltily, meeting his knowing gaze.
"Oh." Xie Jingrun nodded. "So you ate too much."
“Yes, so let’s walk around some more.” Rong Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, took his hand, and said excitedly, “Let’s go for another walk in the Imperial Garden.”
Xie Jingrun pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Actually, there's another way to help you digest your food."
"What?" Rong Qingqing stared at him blankly.
Xie Jingrun pinched the tip of her nose, chuckled softly, and leaned down to give her a light peck on her rosy lips, a gesture that seemed to be part of the night.
Rong Qingqing realized what he meant, and was both angry and annoyed. Just as she was about to run away, he picked her up around the waist and carried her towards the bedroom without giving her a chance to say anything.
Seeing this, Xiao Tao and Xing Chun, who were guarding the door, both wisely lowered their heads.
After the two went inside, Xiao Tao considerately went over and closed the door behind her.
Inside the room, Rong Qingqing was placed on the couch. Seeing Xie Jingrun about to press down on her, she hurriedly dodged to the side, panting, "I haven't bathed yet..."
"You can wash after you're done." Xie Jingrun easily grabbed her ankle and pulled her down a little.
Rong Qingqing struggled beneath him for a while, but to no avail. Instead, she exhausted herself and gave up.
Seeing that she had calmed down, Xie Jingrun kissed her cheek with satisfaction and placed his large hand on her side. "Does it still hurt?"
