Su Xuening blushed instantly: "It smells like milk."
Although she wasn't with Xiaobao and couldn't breastfeed him, she still insisted on expressing some milk every day. If she didn't express it, her milk would soon dry up.
She wanted to keep it so that she could continue breastfeeding Xiaobao when she returned to him.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanzhan's gaze unconsciously fell on her chest, and the intensity of his gaze made Su Xuening so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head.
She buried her face in his chest and whispered, "I'm out of confinement now, if you want..."
Xuanyuan Zhan hugged her tightly, inhaling her unique scent, trying to calm his pent-up desire.
It's not that he doesn't want to, it's just that now is not the right time.
Xuanyuan Peng is in such a state that he could get into trouble at any moment, so he can't afford to!
Of course, most importantly, apart from that time in the cold pool when he was out of his mind and they consummated their marriage, they never did it again.
Therefore, this is very important to them, as important as consummating their marriage, so he cannot do it casually; he must wait for the right time.
Su Xuening didn't have as many thoughts as Xuan Yuanzhan. Anyway, she had already made up her mind about him, so she was willing to let him want her whenever he wanted.
However, now is indeed not the right time. There are too many things to do in the palace, and the emperor is on the verge of death, so it is indeed inappropriate.
While the two were cuddling in the side hall, Xuan Yuanpeng also embraced Bai Shi in the main hall.
In the flickering red candlelight, the two embraced quietly on the bed.
"Ya'er, we're finally married." Xuan Yuanpeng gently stroked her soft, black hair, his hoarse voice filled with longing and reluctance.
He finally married her!
It's just a pity that he doesn't have much time left.
He now deeply regrets not marrying her sooner, wasting their lives in the process. Now that they are finally married, he has little time left to spend with her.
"Originally, I was thinking that after we got married, I would abdicate in favor of Zhan'er, and we would travel around together. After we had enough of traveling in Eastern Chu, we would go to Western Liang, Northern Wei, Southern Qi, and even go to sea..." Xuan Yuanpeng's voice was ethereal, filled with boundless imagination.
He really wanted to stay with her forever. He had owed her so much in the past, so he wanted to spend the rest of his life by her side, taking her to see the mountains and rivers she loved.
Unfortunately, all of this is now just a pipe dream.
Bai didn't speak, but nestled in his arms with tears welling up in her eyes.
He's still thinking about it!
They could have easily gone out to travel and enjoy themselves, but alas...
Xuanyuan Peng gently stroked Bai Shi's hair and continued to dream: "If Zhan'er and the others are busy, we can take our little grandson on a trip. Didn't the ancients often say that it's better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books? Taking the little guy out to see the world might make him even more clever than his father in the future."
When the young prince was mentioned, Xuanyuan Peng's tone was noticeably more doting.
Bai was heartbroken, and when she heard him mention Xiao Bao, she muttered, "Zhan'er isn't clever at all. Xiao Bao will definitely be more clever than Zhan'er in the future."
Xuanyuan Zhan, that rascal, is incredibly stubborn; he's not clever at all!
Their little one will definitely be a clever little devil in the future.
Seeing that she finally spoke, Xuanyuan Peng silently breathed a sigh of relief.
He could just sense her sadness and grief. His time was running out, and he didn't want her to spend their wedding night in sorrow.
Speaking of the young imperial grandson, Xuanyuan Peng recalled something: "Why won't Zhan'er include our youngest grandson in the Eastern Chu family genealogy? Are you hiding something from me?"
Hearing him suddenly bring this up, Madam Bai looked up in surprise: "Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
Xuanyuan Peng snorted: "When Prince Kang had his grandson added to the family genealogy today, Zhan'er and his wife's expressions were off. Do you think I'm really too old and blind to notice?"
When Prince Kang was about to add the young prince's name to the family genealogy during the day, Zhan'er and his wife exchanged a strange glance, indicating that something was amiss.
Bai glared at him, "You're so clear-headed about this kind of thing!"
Xuanyuan Peng immediately recognized that she was referring to Consort Su and Consort Liang. He coughed awkwardly and quickly asked, "You two are really hiding something from me? What is it?"
Madam Bai sighed helplessly: "Zhan'er and Ning'er's son, Xiao Bao, is not our family's little imperial grandson. Isn't he also the little imperial grandson of the Empress of Xiliang? You know that Xiliang is a matriarchal country. Ning'er's first child is also treasured by the Empress of Xiliang. She insisted that Xiao Bao take the surname Duanmu and be included in the Xiliang royal family's genealogy..."
Before Bai could finish speaking, Xuanyuan Peng excitedly exclaimed, "What?! The young imperial grandson has taken the surname Duanmu? And he's even on the Xiliang family genealogy!! Cough cough..."
Seeing Xuanyuan Peng cough violently, Bai quickly got up and patted his chest, saying, "So what if he took the surname Duanmu? Why are you so agitated?"
"You...cough cough..." Xuan Yuanpeng was so angry at Bai Shi that he coughed a series of times!
Bai was truly frightened by Xuanyuan Peng's words. She quickly tried to calm him down while reassuring him, "Don't get so agitated. Even if our little grandson is listed in the Western Liang family genealogy and takes the surname Duanmu, isn't he still our little grandson? He's still our bloodline!"
Bai's attempts to comfort him did nothing to appease Xuanyuan Peng. It took him a while to catch his breath, and he gasped, "How can that be the same? He is our Eastern Chu's youngest grandson, my eldest grandson. How can he bear the surname Duanmu!"
If he takes the surname Duanmu, wouldn't he become the grandson of the emperor of Western Liang? How could he possibly have any connection with Eastern Chu?
No wonder they refused to include the young prince in the Eastern Chu family genealogy; it turns out they changed his surname.
This is outrageous! They're practically accusing Eastern Chu of having no one left to rely on!
Xuanyuan Peng was furious. His breathing became labored again, and he felt like he couldn't catch his breath at all.
Seeing this, Lady Bai quickly tried to soothe him, muttering softly, "It's true that Xiao Bao is your eldest grandson, but he's also the eldest grandson of the Empress of Western Liang!"
"You...cough cough..." Seeing that Bai was still speaking up for Duanmu Junyu, Xuanyuan Peng got angry again and couldn't catch his breath, coughing violently.
Bai was truly terrified by him. She quickly helped him sit up and patted him on the back, saying, "Don't worry, don't worry. It's just a surname. We can just have them change it back. Besides, Zhan'er and Ning'er are still young. If they want children, we can have them have a few more, and they can all take the surname of our Eastern Chu royal family, okay?"
Xuanyuan Peng didn't hear a word of what followed. He only heard the part about making the young prince change his surname back. He immediately grabbed Bai Shi and said, "Quickly go and call Zhan'er and his wife here, as well as Prince Kang. I want the young prince to be added to the genealogy of our Eastern Chu royal family right now, and his surname must be changed back to Xuanyuan!"
