Hmm, this is a problem...
Xuan Yuanzhan hesitated for a moment, then pressed his thin lips to her earlobe and whispered, "My master said we can consummate our marriage."
Su Xuening blushed instantly.
So that's what they were talking about?
Looking at Su Xuening's shy expression, Xuan Yuanzhan couldn't help but feel his heart flutter again: "Ning'er..."
The subtle, tingling sensation around her ears made Su Xuening's heart leap into her throat. She hurriedly turned around, shrinking further inside the blanket as she pulled it tighter: "Going to sleep."
Seeing Su Xuening's evasive look, Xuan Yuanzhan couldn't help but smile.
She's so cute!
Xuanyuan Zhan sidled up to her and pulled her into his arms from behind again.
Feeling the person in his arms stiffen, Xuan Yuanzhan quickly reassured him, "Don't be afraid, I won't touch you!"
Of course, he wasn't so beastly as to force himself on her when she was only two months pregnant.
Besides, even if they consummate their marriage, Long Jiaojiao would sense it, and he wasn't about to let that woman have it so easily.
The mere thought of Long Jiaojiao having the same feelings as their husband made him feel nauseous. However, he didn't plan to tell Ning'er about it. He could bear to make her feel uncomfortable as well.
Su Xuening relaxed after hearing Xuan Yuanzhan's words.
She really didn't want to consummate the marriage with him yet, but when the full moon night came and she couldn't bear it any longer, perhaps she wouldn't be able to control herself.
Let's talk about everything on the night of the full moon.
With her heart at ease, Su Xuening found Xuan Yuanzhan's embrace quite warm and reliable, and soon she fell asleep in his arms.
Listening to the even breathing in his arms, Xuan Yuanzhan lovingly placed a light kiss on her forehead.
How will we get through the night of the full moon two days from now?
Thinking of the pain caused by the Love Flower Gu, Xuan Yuanzhan felt guilty and remorseful again. At the same time, he felt extremely sorry for Su Xuening and couldn't help but hug her tighter.
The Love Flower Curse must be cured as soon as possible!
Long Jiaojiao is a very skilled martial artist. He'll have to come up with a plan if he wants to capture her alive!
Worried about the full moon two days later, Xuan Yuanzhan held Su Xuening and didn't sleep all night.
The next day, as dawn broke, Xuan Yuanzhan reluctantly let go of Su Xuening and quietly got out of bed to go to court.
Su Xuening was not awakened at all. When she woke up, it was already Chenshi (7-9 AM).
After washing up as she had done in the past few days, Su Xuening went to have breakfast with Bai Shi.
After the two finished their breakfast, Xuan Yuanzhan still hadn't returned.
Seeing Su Xuening looking outside from time to time, how could Bai not understand that she was waiting for Xuan Yuanzhan? While feeling gratified that the young couple had a good relationship, she said to Ye Shui at the door, "Go and see why the prince hasn't returned yet!"
Su Xuening blushed as if her thoughts had been read.
Ye Shui glanced at Su Xuening and was about to respond when Ye Yun ran back.
"Greetings, Your Highness, Your Highness." Ye Yun bowed breathlessly to Bai Shi and Su Xuening at the door.
Seeing Ye Yun running so hurriedly, Madam Bai couldn't help but worry: "What's wrong? Has something happened to your prince?"
Su Xuening's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and she nervously looked at Ye Yun.
Ye Yun immediately shook his head: "No."
He paused to catch his breath before saying, "His Majesty has kept the Prince in the palace to handle state affairs today, and the Prince will not be back for a while."
Ye Yun then looked at Su Xuening and reported, "His Highness also said that he might be back a little late today. He told the Princess to go to sleep first and not to wait for him."
Su Xuening was immediately disappointed upon hearing this, as it turned out she was to stay in the palace to handle state affairs.
Seeing Su Xuening's disappointed expression, Bai felt a pang of heartache and couldn't help but scold, "This brat, he knew to come back early the other day, why is he staying in the palace to handle state affairs again today?"
Didn't they know to take it back to the Prince's Mansion for disposal just a few days ago?
Seeing that Bai was always on her side, Su Xuening quickly comforted her, saying, "National affairs are more important."
Bai was very pleased with Su Xuening's thoughtfulness. She then looked at Ye Yun and said, "Go back and tell that brat to come back as soon as he's done with his business. He can't keep Ning'er waiting for him for too long."
"Yes," Ye Yun replied, and then hurriedly went back to report.
He knew perfectly well that while his lord was physically in the imperial study, his heart had already flown back home. He wouldn't keep the princess waiting!
The Imperial Palace, the Imperial Study.
Xuanyuan Zhan really wasn't in the mood to sit and handle state affairs. His red brush flew around, and he was passing through memorials one after another at a time, not knowing whether they were approved or not.
Seeing that he looked like he was in a hurry to be reincarnated, Xuanyuan Peng couldn't help but ask, "Do you have something urgent to do?"
Xuanyuan Zhan acted as if he hadn't heard Xuanyuan Peng's sudden question.
"Ahem!" Zong Jiu coughed lightly from the side, quietly reminding Xuan Yuanzhan, "Your Highness, the Emperor is speaking to you."
Xuanyuan Zhan then realized what Xuanyuan Peng had asked him and replied in a moment, "There's nothing urgent, but I'm a bit pressed for time."
...Xuanyuan Zhan's answer really caught Xuanyuan Peng off guard.
"If you're in a hurry, then go ahead and get busy. These reports aren't urgent; you can review them tomorrow."
As soon as Xuanyuan Peng finished speaking considerately, Xuanyuan Zhan stopped writing: "Alright, all the approvals are done."
"All approved?" Xuan Yuanpeng stared in shock at the mountain of memorials in front of Xuan Yuanzhan. "All of these have been approved?"
He's only been sitting here for three hours, hasn't he?
This is the amount that he might not be able to complete even if he sat from morning till night for three days, and he approved it all in one go.
He read so fast, each document seemed to fly by, that he doubted whether he could even read the contents clearly and completely. Now that he's told that everything has been approved, why doesn't he believe him?
"I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
Xuanyuan Zhan stood up, bowed respectfully to Xuanyuan Peng, and then turned and left.
Xuanyuan Peng stared blankly at Xuanyuan Zhan's retreating figure until he was far away. Only then did Xuanyuan Peng come to his senses and gesture with his chin toward Xuanyuan Zhan's small desk: "Go and bring all those memorials to me for a look."
"Yes." Zong Jiu immediately went over, picked up the document from Xuan Yuanzhan's desk, and handed it to Xuan Yuanpeng.
It took five or six trips to finally retrieve all the memorials from the table.
Xuanyuan Peng initially thought Xuanyuan Zhan was just going through the motions, but he was shocked when he saw it: "He really was reviewing it seriously!"
Xuanyuan Peng, still not entirely convinced, flipped through a few more memorials and discovered that the person was not only genuinely reviewing them carefully, but also offering insightful annotations.
"Brilliant! How come I didn't think of that!" Xuanyuan Peng excitedly looked at Zong Jiu with the memorial in his hand: "This lad's insights are far more useful than those mediocre officials in the court!"
Those ministers in the court are all talkers of nonsense. Every time I go to court, all I hear is their rambling. They can't come up with any solutions!
