Wuwan originally thought that Long Jiaojiao was going to find Xuanyuan Zhan again, but she didn't expect that she would go to Liyou Pavilion instead.
When Long Jiaojiao arrived at Liyou Pavilion, it was not yet open. She pounded and kicked, and finally managed to open the door.
The madam of the Liyou Inn, a middle-aged man, came out to greet the customer with sleepy eyes. Upon seeing that it was a woman, he lost interest in greeting her and said with a yawn, "Miss, it's not dark yet, our inn hasn't started soliciting customers yet!"
What young lady would come to their Liyou Pavilion before it gets dark? Even if Liyou Pavilion does accept female guests, no young lady would come to such a place. It's just young wives and old ladies who come secretly at night.
He had never seen a woman come to Liyou Pavilion so openly before!
Long Jiaojiao didn't say anything, but simply threw out a bag of gold.
The middle-aged man instinctively caught the gold pouch. Weighing it in his hand, he was instantly wide awake. His eyes gleamed as he looked at Long Jiaojiao, and he said ingratiatingly, "Miss, who would you like to serve you? Shall I arrange it for you?"
Long Jiaojiao casually said, "I heard that the Holy King visited your shop a few days ago."
The middle-aged man was a shrewd person; he instantly understood what Long Jiaojiao meant and said with a smile, "I understand."
The middle-aged man had someone bring Long Jiaojiao into the private room, while he went to fetch the two male prostitutes.
Before long, Long Jiaojiao was having fun with the two male prostitutes in the room.
She came to the Liyou Pavilion for no other reason than to enjoy the same treatment as Su Xuening.
Since she can't enjoy Xuanyuan Zhan's company for the time being, she naturally has to think of other ways!
Long Jiaojiao was well served by the two male prostitutes, but Wuwan suffered. Not only did he have to guard outside, but he also had to listen to his beloved woman having fun with other men!
If Xuanyuan Zhan were here, he would probably laugh at him again.
...
The Holy King's Palace.
No sooner had the three returned than palace eunuchs brought over two large boxes: "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, this is a gift from the Emperor for Your Highness to use while shopping."
As the palace attendant spoke, he took the initiative to open the two large chests, which were filled to the brim with gold. The sight of the gold instantly dazzled all the attendants in the room.
Xuanyuan Zhan glanced at the two boxes of gold and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Honestly, Xuanyuan Peng never mistreated Bai Fuya or him in these matters!
Xuanyuan Peng often sent these things, and Bai Shi was already used to it. She gave Shang Mama a wink, and Shang Mama immediately stepped forward and gave each of the palace servants a bag of reward silver.
"Thank you, Your Highness." The group quickly thanked Madam Bai after receiving their reward.
Lady Bai picked out a box from the pile of things she had bought and handed it to the palace servants: "Go back and report to the Emperor that I have received the items. Then give this to the Emperor. This is something I bought especially for him."
“Yes,” one of the eunuchs replied, holding the box.
I wonder what's in this box. Could it be worth the Emperor's two chests of gold?
However, since the Emperor dotes on the Dowager Consort, even if she returns an empty box, the Emperor would probably treasure it.
This is a private matter between the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, and they have no right to interfere!
"This servant takes his leave."
The group, knowing proper etiquette, bowed and took their leave.
As soon as these people left, Madam Bai immediately looked at Su Xuening with a smile: "Ning'er, would you like these mundane things?"
Before Su Xuening could answer, Xuan Yuanzhan said disdainfully, "You said it yourself, it's a vulgar thing, you can keep it yourself."
"Hey, you brat!" Bai was instantly angered by Xuan Yuanzhan.
"Ning'er is tired, let's go back to our room." Xuan Yuanzhan put his arm around Su Xuening and left, completely ignoring the fuming Bai Shi.
Before Su Xuening could even bow to Bai Shi, Xuan Yuanzhan had already taken her away.
Seeing the loving couple, Bai's anger dissipated, and she had the two boxes of gold sent to her private treasury.
Upon returning to Linshui Pavilion, Xuanyuan Zhan instructed Ye Yun to fetch hot water, and then served Su Xuening a foot bath.
Seeing how considerate Xuan Yuanzhan was, Su Xuening smiled slightly and said, "I'm really not tired. My mother takes good care of me. She makes me sit down while I choose things, and we go for tea after shopping for a while. How could I be tired?"
"Aren't you tired? Your feet are all swollen." Xuan Yuanzhan said with concern as he massaged Su Xuening's feet.
“My hands and feet will swell after I get pregnant, even if I don’t walk.” Knowing that he was worried about her, Su Xuening patiently explained, “Besides, going out and walking around more will also be good for the future delivery.”
Xuan Yuanzhan became worried when she thought about giving birth: "Master and Uncle-Master won't be leaving the capital for the time being, will they?"
Su Xuening looked bewildered when he suddenly mentioned his master and uncle.
"When you give birth, will your master and uncle be there?" Xuan Yuanzhan decided to ask for clarification.
She thought he meant something else, but it turns out he was still worried about this. Su Xuening smiled and said, "Master and Uncle said they would be there when I give birth."
"That's good." Xuan Yuanzhan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With his master and uncle's medical skills being so amazing, he could feel more at ease with them around.
And we should find a midwife and a wet nurse as soon as possible.
Just as Xuan Yuanzhan was lost in thought, Su Xuening suddenly leaned closer to him, sniffed him, and then stared at him with her clear eyes.
Xuan Yuanzhan immediately tensed up because of Su Xuening: "What's wrong?"
Does he have some strange smell?
"Did that Holy Maiden from Southern Xinjiang contact you?" Su Xuening's question carried a hint of bitterness.
Although she knew that Xuan Yuanzhan could never like that woman, women always get jealous over some inexplicable people and things.
"How did you know?" Xuan Yuanzhan asked, sniffing himself as he spoke.
Ning'er just smelled him and could tell he had met with Long Jiaojiao?
Could it be that he has Long Jiaojiao's scent on him? But he can't smell anything!
"That woman has a special scent." Su Xuening, as if confirming, leaned closer to Xuan Yuanzhan and sniffed again.
It was that scent; she'd smelled it before, but never mentioned it. He smelled that woman on him; he must have seen her.
Xuan Yuanzhan was somewhat surprised. He sniffed carefully again and indeed couldn't smell anything. He quickly explained, "I ran into her when I left the palace just now. We only exchanged a few words. She didn't see me!"
As for what they talked about, Xuan Yuanzhan didn't want to reveal it to Su Xuening, afraid of disgusting her.
Su Xuening naturally believed in Xuan Yuanzhan. Xuan Yuanzhan had no interest in that woman, but that woman clearly had no intention of giving up on Xuan Yuanzhan.
To avoid any unforeseen complications, they must obtain the mother Gu from that woman as soon as possible.
Su Xuening thought for a moment, then suddenly leaned close to Xuan Yuanzhan's ear and whispered a few words.
Xuanyuan Zhan's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, and he nodded repeatedly.
