Later, Su Xuerong felt that Xiao Yuan shouldn't be the kind of person who only cares about looks.
But with her stunningly beautiful face right in front of him, he probably wouldn't be interested in anyone else.
Xiao Yuan was angry with her for several days because of this. Su Xuerong felt guilty, so she could only give in to him for several days in a row. After all, the imperial physician said that the dangerous period had passed and they could have sex again...
But Xiao Yuan was still very careful, always making sure not to hurt the baby in her womb. So Su Xuerong was then unlocked to a completely new position...
As a result, she felt embarrassed to face the palace maids on night watch when she woke up the next day.
On this day of rest, Xiao Yuan didn't have to get up early and slept in with Su Xuerong for a while.
But I didn't stay up too late because Yuan-jie was making a fuss about coming to find her mother.
Originally, Su Xuerong wanted to sleep with Yuanjie at night, but Xiao Yuan would always have the wet nurse take her to her own room after she fell asleep.
When Xiao Yuan went to the morning court, Su Xuerong would always ask the wet nurse to bring Yuan'er to her bed so she could sleep a little longer.
But Xiao Yuan was on leave today, and he had made a scene with Su Xuerong again last night. When Yuan Jie woke up, she was still not in bed.
When the little girl woke up and couldn't find her mother's warm embrace, she started wailing loudly.
Su Xuerong hurriedly had the wet nurse bring the little girl into the tent.
Xiao Yuan woke up, but showed no intention of getting up. Instead, he played with Yuan Jie'er.
Yuan-jie was actually amused by him.
The first time Su Xuerong saw Xiao Yuan mimicking the comical image of a clown towards Yuan Jie'er, it made Yuan Jie'er giggle.
After playing for a while, Yuanjie nestled in Su Xuerong's arms and nuzzled her breasts with her head, wanting to nurse.
Su Xuerong had long since stopped producing milk, and was now somewhat embarrassed by the little girl. She was about to call for a wet nurse when Xiao Yuan stopped her.
“She probably misses you too much, so nurse her for a while.” He said this, but his eyes were fixed on the mother and daughter.
When Yuanjie wasn't around, Su Xuerong wasn't so embarrassed.
But with his daughter there, the man acted completely nonchalant, not even thinking to avoid her.
Her face immediately turned bright red, and she said reproachfully, "Why don't you get up first?"
Xiao Yuan laughed, put his hands behind his head and leaned back on the pillow, looking at her with a smile: "I am your husband, can't I look?"
Su Xuerong glared at him: "Yuan-jie is here!"
"She has no idea what I'm looking at!"
Su Xuerong: "..."
How come I never noticed Xiao Yuan's mischievousness before?
Yuan'er had actually drunk milk when she woke up, and she's been eating more rice porridge lately. When she nudged Su Xuerong with her head, she was just craving that familiar taste.
Unbeknownst to Su Xuerong, the little girl reached out and pulled open her collar, revealing a patch of snow-white skin.
Su Xuerong noticed that Xiao Yuan's gaze had darkened, and when she looked down, her face instantly turned bright red.
"Look at you, you're already a mother, and you're still so shy..." The mischievous man opposite him reached out, picked up Yuan'er, and handed her outside the tent, "Let's comfort the little princess first."
Yuan Jie'er, looking completely bewildered, was immediately carried away.
Su Xuerong was turned over, and a hot body pressed tightly against her back.
The man's deep, husky voice sounded in her ear: "Arong..."
Su Xuerong felt too ashamed to face anyone.
In broad daylight, with children and palace maids all outside, she, heavily pregnant, was still having an affair with Xiao Yuan…
That day, Su Xuerong ignored Xiao Yuan for the entire day.
Xiao Yuan, however, was in high spirits and had breakfast and lunch with the mother and daughter before going to the Imperial Study.
Su Xuerong played with Yuan'er for a while longer, and only after the little girl went to take a nap did she call Feng Bao over.
Feng Bao was waiting in the Imperial Study when he learned that the Empress had summoned him. With Xiao Yuan's permission, he immediately rushed to Cining Palace.
"May Your Majesty be blessed. May I ask what business Your Majesty has with this old servant?"
Su Xuerong asked, "Eunuch Feng, do you know if there are any elderly people in this palace from the time of Emperor Taizu?"
Feng Bao was somewhat surprised, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Some are guards of the imperial mausoleum, while others are placed in the Imperial Ancestral Temple in the suburbs of Beijing."
Su Xuerong frowned slightly.
Feng Bao couldn't help but ask, "Does Your Highness have something important to discuss with someone?"
“It’s not that I’m specifically looking for anyone…” Su Xuerong thought for a moment, “Eunuch Feng, could you please find someone who knows a lot about the concubines in Emperor Taizu’s harem? I want to ask them some questions.”
Feng Bao immediately replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured, this old servant will send someone to make the arrangements right away."
Su Xuerong nodded and had Xiuchun see him out.
She could have directly told Xiao Yuan about this and asked him to order a few people to be brought in for questioning.
But who told him to bully her this morning!
She won't say a single word to him today!
When Feng Bao returned to the Imperial Study, he saw Xiao Yuan's gaze and had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell him about Su Xuerong's matter.
Xiao Yuan was taken aback: "She wants to consult a palace servant from the time of the founding emperor? What is it?"
Feng Bao shook his head: "The Empress didn't say."
Xiao Yuan laughed: "The Empress is just being stubborn with me!"
Feng Bao dared not respond.
Xiao Yuan read through the memorials for a while longer, then made an excuse, saying, "I finally have a day off today, so I should go back and spend some quality time with the Empress."
Feng Bao hurriedly said, "Your Majesty should also get some rest."
That's true. Ever since Xiao Yuan ascended the throne, he's wished he could break a day into eight pieces.
After years of civil war, the Great Zhou Dynasty was rebuilding from scratch, with foreign powers eyeing it covetously. Xiao Yuan and his court officials were extremely busy.
He had watched Xiao Yuan grow up, and their bond was extraordinary. Moreover, as a mother, he had received kindness from Xiao Yuan's mother and was loyal to him. He truly did not want Xiao Yuan to ruin his health.
Xiao Yuan then naturally set off for Cining Palace.
Since Su Xuerong moved to Cining Palace, he has hardly ever returned to Funing Palace.
When Su Xuerong saw him arrive, she ignored him and leaned against the window on the couch, idly flipping through the latest storybooks published in the capital.
But I couldn't absorb a single word.
Xiao Yuan changed into casual clothes, then climbed onto the bed with a grin and lay down beside her: "What are you looking at?"
Su Xuerong slammed the storybook down and rolled her eyes at him: "Mind your own business!"
Xiao Yuan chuckled lightly: "Still angry?"
Su Xuerong felt that she had completely lost face today.
Although the palace servants were always respectful, who knows what they thought of her in private?
She was heavily pregnant, still had a daughter, and was still seducing men...
Su Xuerong was thoroughly fed up with being falsely accused in her previous life, and she didn't want to be misunderstood in this life either.
Seeing that she was getting angry, Xiao Yuan had no choice but to pull her into his arms and whisper, "It was my fault today. You can punish me however you want, just don't get upset and hurt your health, or our child will suffer!"
Upon hearing this, Su Xuerong reached out and pinched his arm hard before she calmed down.
Seeing that her complexion had improved, Xiao Yuan was relieved and asked, "What did you want to ask Feng Bao about when you asked him to find the palace servants from the time of the Emperor's grandfather?"
