I slept well all night.
When Shen Wan woke up in the morning, she found that Xie Jingyan had not gotten up early as usual, but was holding her in his arms with his obsidian-like eyes closed.
Xie Jingyan has always been self-disciplined. Since his leg injury healed, he has always gotten up early to exercise, regardless of wind or rain. But he didn't get up today. Shen Wan didn't dare to imagine how tired he must have been these past few days.
His eyelashes were long, even longer than hers. Shen Wan reached out to touch them, but Xie Jingyan grabbed her hand after only a couple of touches. "Don't test me."
Since Shen Wan became seven months pregnant, he hasn't touched her again. Heaven knows how hard he endured it for the past two or three months; he even wished he could take a cold shower in the dead of winter.
Shen Wan was somewhat surprised, "When did you wake up?"
She didn't realize at all that he was pretending to be asleep.
Xie Jingyan looked into Shen Wan's eyes and said, "She's been awake for half an hour."
Shen Wan's ears burned from his gaze. She had been awake for so long, so he knew she had been staring at his face for so long?
Shen Wan asked, "Can't you sleep?"
Xie Jingyan said, "I'm already used to waking up early."
No matter how late I go to bed, I wake up at the appointed time and find it hard to fall back asleep.
Shen Wan tried to sit up, but Xie Jingyan was holding her, so she couldn't move. Xie Jingyan said, "Lie with me for a while longer."
Shen Wan would definitely grant his request, but the pressure on her inner thigh made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Shen Wan nestled against his chest as they talked. Then Xie Jingyan kissed her, making her weak all over. Only then did he release her and get off the bed.
Yinshuang and Haitang waited outside the door, and only entered the house after hearing some noise inside.
Shen Wan was still far from the end of her postpartum period, but she still needed to wash up every day. She sat down in front of the dressing table, and Yin Shuang styled her hair into a bun. The small kitchen brought in breakfast, and Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan sat down to eat breakfast together.
After breakfast, Xie Jingyan told Shen Wan to go back to bed, but Shen Wan was very reluctant, saying, "Then you stay with me."
It was rare for Xie Jingyan to see Shen Wan act coquettishly towards him. He pinched Shen Wan's nose and smiled indulgently, "If I don't stay with you, where will I go?"
Shen Wan snorted and said, "I thought you were going to the study to keep those books company."
Xie Jingyan, "..."
The sarcastic tone made Xie Jingyan laugh.
This woman can actually get jealous.
He's just jealous of books, that's something else.
Xie Jingyan whispered in Shen Wan's ear, "Do you think your husband likes staying in the study that much? It's because you don't let me stay in the house."
Who told him not to stay indoors?!
She doesn't want him to stay in bed, okay?
He actually made himself sound so pitiful.
Shen Wan couldn't help but glare at him.
Then Xie Jingyan picked her up horizontally, carried her to the bed, and placed her against a large pillow.
Xie Jingyan did not leave; he sat by the bedside to keep her company.
The two hadn't been talking for long when the wet nurse brought the baby over. Since the baby was born, Xie Jingyan had only held the baby twice. Shen Wan asked him to hold the baby for a while, and Xie Jingyan took the baby into his arms.
She had barely settled into his arms when she blew a small bubble at him, and Xie Jingyan's smile had just begun to bloom when his face turned green—
The child urinated on him.
Seeing Xie Jingyan's expression of wanting to throw it but not being able to, Shen Wan's shoulders trembled uncontrollably.
The wet nurse quickly stepped forward and took the child away.
The gentleman looked at the dark patch on his brocade robe and his forehead throbbed with anxiety.
He glanced at Shen Wan, who was trying hard to suppress her laughter, and asked suspiciously, "Are you doing this on purpose?"
Shen Wan shook her head repeatedly, "I didn't."
Xie Jingyan didn't bother to investigate whether Shen Wan did it on purpose; he couldn't stand being peed on by a child, so he got up and left.
Not only did he change into a brocade robe, but he also took a bath before returning.
After returning, he asked Shen Wan, "Smell it and see if there's still any scent."
Shen Wan said, "It didn't really have any smell to begin with, and your son is complaining about it?"
Xie Jingyan looked at Shen Wan and asked, "You're not bothered by your son peeing all over you?"
Shen Wan said, "Jin'er has never peed on me."
Xie Jingyan, "..."
He had only held his son a few times when he peed all over him.
Shen Wan is held every day and has never wet her diaper. This makes the man even more disgusted with his son.
At this moment, Dong'er lifted the cotton curtain and entered the room, announcing, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Young Master Yun has arrived."
Why is my cousin here?
Since Shen Wan couldn't go out, and although she was in bed, she was dressed properly and had nothing to hide, Xie Jingyan said, "Please invite Young Master Yun in."
Dong'er left, and a short while later, Yun Qi arrived.
On the day Jin'er celebrated her third-day birthday, Yun Qi and Princess Qinghe came by, but they did not enter the house.
Seeing him come in, Shen Wan asked, "What brings you here, cousin?"
Yun Qi smiled and said, "I came to see you and the Prince, and also to ask Doctor Tao if the wound medicine could be prepared in advance and sent to my uncle. I'm afraid that if there's a heavy rain, the roads will be blocked and the wound medicine won't be able to get out."
The wound medicine used by the soldiers in the training of the Iron Cavalry was prepared by Doctor Tao and his son. If a heavy snow blocked the road and the wound medicine could not be delivered in time, it might affect the training of the Iron Cavalry.
The news of the discovery of the body of the Crown Prince of Xiliang had spread throughout the capital, and the Yun family had naturally heard about it as well. The Yun family's business was spread throughout the Great Chu, and their sense of the war was unmatched by ordinary people.
This was important business, so Xie Jingyan and Yun Qi went to the study to talk.
After they left, Haitang said, "Young Master Biao brought a lot of tonics and toys for the young master..."
Her older cousin almost never came empty-handed; how could she possibly eat so many supplements?
Yun Qi and Xie Jingyan stayed in the study for a quarter of an hour, and then went to the front yard together, firstly to find Doctor Tao with Yun Qi, and secondly to see Yun Qi out of the mansion.
