Chapter 58 Chapter 58 The Beautiful Carriage
The white falcon's broken leg hasn't healed yet, and it has been staying by her side quite attentively these days, allowing her to treat it like a pet. As she strokes it, the feathers on its head become smoother.
This Saker Falcon had been with them for over two months, and its injuries had almost healed. Eating the meat they fed it daily, it had gained some weight, feeling heavy in their hands.
"It's gained so much weight," Xuan Jinyu said, poking the falcon's round belly with a smile. "I wonder if it'll be able to fly again after its wounds heal."
She recalled the time when the white falcon first started following them. "At that time, no one knew what it had eaten before it was struck by lightning. It hadn't needed to eat for nearly half a month."
"It's nothing like now." It can't stand being without meat every day. It is very ferocious and once scared Mu Ge'er to tears.
Su Guanzhang fed the peeled orange to her lips, and Xuan Jinyu opened her mouth and ate it very naturally.
"I want that grape too," she commanded.
Grapes are delicious, but peeling them gets your hands dirty, and she doesn't want to do it herself.
Su Guanzhang didn't do as she wished and only fed her another slice of orange. "You've already eaten a lot of grapes today. Eat more tomorrow!"
Xuan Jinyu released her jade claws, letting it hop on one foot to its favorite corner, and she turned towards Su Guanzhang.
"One." She slowly stretched out a finger, the same slender finger that had just poked the white falcon. It was still stained with the scent of the ferocious bird, but her voice was very delicate.
"I'll just eat one more." She looked at Su Guanzhang eagerly.
She was due to give birth in more than a month or two. Her legs and feet were swollen, and her bright and charming little face had become much rounder, adding a bit of cuteness to her.
Her temperament was even more spoiled than before, and she became more and more dependent on Su Guanzhang. If her coquettish behavior didn't work, she would start to make trouble and pester him. In any case, she was determined to achieve her goal.
"Just the last one." Xuan Jinyu blinked and pouted.
This was how she had acted coquettishly with him a quarter of an hour ago.
Su Guanzhang couldn't resist his wife's arrogance and unreasonableness just now, and he couldn't resist it now either.
He sighed, peeled another grape and fed it to her.
Xuan Jinyu chewed the sweet grape flesh and swallowed it with satisfaction.
Su Guanzhang locked the cabinet containing various fruits, wet a towel and began to wipe Xuan Jinyu's hands, wiping away the scent of the white falcon one by one.
He was used to doing these things, and he did it with ease and dignity, not at all like he was doing something as trivial as wiping his pregnant wife's hands.
Xuan Jinyu looked at him, her heart pounding. Her original dissatisfaction with him putting away the fruits and locking the cabinet quickly disappeared.
For some reason, recently, when she looked at his handsome face, which she was used to seeing like this, she would have some blushing thoughts.
Not only did her personality become more delicate, her body was also much more delicate. Even a very ordinary hug between the two of them could make her body go limp.
She was too embarrassed to tell Su Guanzhang about these reactions, and even more embarrassed to ask her mother-in-law or sisters-in-law. She kept it in her heart, feeling both shy and secretly annoyed.
Su Guanzhang habitually used his inner strength to dry the handkerchief and put it back in his arms. He touched Xuan Jinyu's slightly red cheek and kissed her lips.
"Want to get some sleep?" he asked.
Even if Xuan Jinyu didn't say it, as her close companion every day, how could Su Guanzhang not notice the changes in her body?
These changes in her body were very similar to what they had done after frequent lovemaking in the past. Her body was extremely sensitive; he could easily provoke a reaction from her with just one touch.
Su Guanzhang took a deep breath and dismissed the inappropriate thoughts in his mind.
She was already in the third trimester and about to give birth. He had just learned that pregnant women also had this need. This was not recorded in medical books, nor had the Xuanfu doctors or experienced women mentioned it.
He didn't know how to make her feel better, he just knew that he couldn't touch her again.
Xuan Jinyu stretched out her hands towards him, and Su Guanzhang took her into his arms. "But are you feeling uncomfortable again?"
He actually knew?
Xuan Jinyu's eyes widened in surprise, and her face was obviously much fuller than before, making her look even rounder. She was so cute that he almost couldn't control himself.
After being surprised, Xuan Jinyu felt a little embarrassed.
In the past, when the two of them were together, it was always the man who took the initiative, and she rarely took the initiative to tease him.
Unexpectedly, when the baby was so old, she would have such embarrassing changes.
"Don't think too much." Su Guanzhang has recently been able to understand what she is thinking. He kissed her forehead and said, "This is just a normal pregnancy reaction."
Xuan Jinyu's hands were clasped behind his back, their fingers intertwined, very intimate.
"I'll find a way to make you feel less uncomfortable." Su Guanzhang lowered his voice and lowered his head.
Does he have a solution?
Xuan Jinyu looked up at him, which facilitated his movements. She soon immersed herself in his gentle and lingering kiss.
An ambiguous and charming atmosphere permeated the carriage.
The carriage door was tightly closed and the window was only open a crack.
An autumn breeze came in, carrying the fragrance of the fruits of the autumn harvest. It lingered for a while, and when it saw that it did not attract the attention of the couple who had been in love for a long time, it quickly slipped out through the gap in the car window.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Guanzhang slowly let go of Xuan Jinyu.
He gazed at her rosy and charming little face, kissed her slightly swollen lips, stroked her back, and helped her calm her breathing.
After her breathing became steady, his gaze lingered for a while on her sparkling eyes that had not yet focused, and on her brows that could not conceal her charm, before he reached out to take the water bag beside the cabinet.
The water poured into the water bag after boiling is now at the right temperature, steaming but not scalding.
Su Guanzhang fed Xuan Jinyu a few sips of water.
"Are you feeling better?" He wiped the water droplets on her lips that had accidentally touched her lips because she drank too quickly.
Perhaps because they had just been intimate, Xuan Jinyu inexplicably felt that there was a hint of seduction in his actions.
She took a few more sips of water and pushed the water bag away. "Much better," she replied softly.
The legs hidden under the skirt were no longer covered by any tight-fitting garments, and there was still a little moisture and stickiness between them. She tried to close them uncomfortably, but was blocked by his legs.
"Wait for me to clean it for you," Su Guanzhang said softly, his voice a little hoarse. His legs were still firmly clamped around her, shielding her from the wind and restricting her movements.
Xuan Jinyu felt her face getting hot again.
Su Guanzhang took out a clean water bag and was about to pour the warm water on the handkerchief.
Xuan Jinyu said anxiously, "Don't take the handkerchief." Although she was anxious, she did not forget to lower her voice, for fear of being heard by the guards driving the carriage in the front room.
Su Guanzhang only had a handkerchief hidden close to his body, the one Xuan Jinyu had given him three years ago.
For the past three years, he had kept it close to his body. He would only take it out to look at it when he was on a business trip or when Xuan Jinyu went back to her parents' home in anger. He had never used it.
Only after being exiled, this material was the only one on his body that was soft enough not to hurt Xuan Jinyu's delicate skin.
This handkerchief has been used countless times by him in the past few months. If it were not made of excellent material and the person who embroidered it had not put a lot of effort into it, it would have worn out long ago and would not have remained as soft as it is now.
Su Guanzhang paused.
He had no more handkerchiefs to spare.
Xuan Jinyu held back her shame and handed him her handkerchief, "Use this one."
The handkerchief she gave him was often used by him to wipe her face and hands, and occasionally he would use it to wipe himself when it was convenient.
But how can I use the same piece to clean a place like that now?
Su Guanzhang put the handkerchief back, poured the water on Xuan Jinyu's own handkerchief, wrung it half dry, and then used it to wipe Xuan Jinyu's legs.
Xuan Jinyu felt like smoke was coming out of her face.
For months, he had been the one who washed, dried, and changed her clothes, but she had always been very open about it and was far from feeling ashamed to see him as she was now.
She was still affected by what had just happened and the lingering effects on her body.
Su Guanzhang reached his hand into her skirt that was scattered on his knees. He touched something and Xuan Jinyu almost couldn't help but scream, biting her lower lip tightly.
"Don't bite." Su Guanzhang's voice was unusually low and hoarse. He leaned over to kiss her without stopping the movement of his hands.
Xuan Jinyu closed her eyes tightly, not daring to look at him, but her breathing became noticeably faster.
Only after he changed her clothes and opened the car window, letting the cool autumn breeze blow into the car and dispel the beauty in the room, did she slowly breathe a sigh of relief.
She buried her head in his arms, listening to his and her own rapid heartbeats, and slowly dissipating the heat on her face.
She seemed to be a little indifferent to his life or death, Xuan Jinyu thought.
His body temperature rose so obviously, and his reaction was so strong where they were touching, but she still clung to him tightly.
But he never let go of his hands that were tightly around her shoulders.
He could take care of her needs for her, but he couldn't control his own instinctive reactions.
Su Guanzhang lowered his head and kissed Xuan Jinyu on the hair, then closed his eyes and let the fragrance of the wild fruits all over the mountains fill his face.
Xuan Jinyu held her belly and walked slowly on the flat mountain road.
She had a slender figure, and from behind she didn't look pregnant. But from the front, her bulging belly was a bit scary, like she was carrying a big, round watermelon.
Except for the Su family and Xuan Wensheng, no one else dared to approach her.
I was afraid that if I accidentally touched her, her belly would be broken and the red flesh inside would be exposed.
The more I think about it, the scarier it gets.
They will spend the night in this valley.
In order to avoid being cold, they found an open space and set up their tents.
The wild animals around had been driven away, and insect and snake repellent powder had been sprinkled all around - there were really abundant herbs along the way, and Su Guanzhang occasionally picked up a few every day and made a lot of medicinal powder and pills.
He now has quite a few medicine bottles kept close to his body.
No one knew how he did it. Xuan Jinyu hugged or cuddled with him every day without noticing that she was being hurt.
Every time they camped in the wilderness, he could be seen taking out various medicine bottles from his clothes and sprinkling a circle of medicine powder along the gaps around their tent - this was to prevent the medicine powder outside from being ineffective and slipping in.
It's also very interesting to watch.
