The autumn sun is shining brightly outside.

Inside the house, Concubine Zhao Lingfei and Zhao Qianer were either hugging or lying on Zhao Rong like koalas.

He took her to the bathroom.

"I won't play with you next time. I'm still a little weak after smelling that stuff."

"No, I'm afraid that before our baby comes out, you'll kick your husband to death or even break him in half."

"Why are you so hard on me? Qian'er and I are almost falling apart."

"It's okay. You'll be a little tired at night so you can sleep a little longer in the morning. I've heard Qian'er say in Taiqing Mansion that you often can't sleep... You guys are responsible for staying in bed, and I'll make breakfast for you."

"Let's sleep a little longer... I've never seen you stay quiet in the morning, you're still making a fuss, how can we sleep?"

"You should exercise more in the morning. I am helping you exercise. This tradition must be passed down in our family."

“…”

"You're not going to stop, are you?" The woman said in a hoarse voice with a half-joking tone: "Okay, now I regret it a little. I won't give you the black jade for now. I'm disgusted with you."

"Wait, you took back the jade I stuffed under my pillow last night?"

"Hmm." She snorted softly, "I thought you left it somewhere and didn't want it anymore, so I just took it here."

Zhao Rong glared, "No, we have already consummated our marriage, why can't I take the black jade?"

"I've already said that I regret it, do you have any objection?"

"I... a little bit."

Concubine Zhao Ling nodded and warned, "Not even a little bit."

He uttered a word: "Woman..."

Zhao Rong's reaction was so honest that even Concubine Zhao Ling was quiet for a moment.

She avoided his gaze but still tried to explain herself.

"You were trying to coax me into consummating our marriage last night, with the wedding bed and sweet words. It was too cunning, so it doesn't count, and..."

Finally, Concubine Zhao Ling pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Last night a little sister came to eat, and this morning another sister from the Su family came to visit. Who knows if I will get other new sisters in the future, and the new ones will be better than the old ones."

Zhao Rong shook his head: "You and Qian'er are family, not old friends."

"That means the new family is better than the old one..." She quickly retorted, and pursed her lips, "Besides, I'm so useless and stupid. Even with Qian'er who is smarter and more knowledgeable, I can't handle your troubles. Well, my husband must be dissatisfied..."

For some reason, the woman in the barrel lowered her voice and began to speak in a self-deprecating tone:

"Besides, it's understandable. Before the bridal chamber, she was still a newlywed, and you could coax her with love letters, sweet words, and the wedding bed. Now the marriage has been consummated, and I'm the old one... There's no need to coax an old one. She has already taken advantage of you and given you everything. You can't run away. You just need to come back occasionally to eat her meal, and leave without cleaning up after you're done. I heard that nagging between old couples is the most annoying. I'm sure you can't stand it..." She whispered to herself.

In the bathtub, Zhao Rong and the two girls treated each other sincerely.

He looked at Qingjun and listened quietly, surprisingly without interrupting.

"Don't stick to me. I've already gone back on my word, and you're still hugging me. Are you trying to coax me again... I won't be fooled."

Zhao Rong shook his head, but still hugged her and Qian'er tightly.

Concubine Zhao Ling had a head full of wet black hair.

She lowered her head slightly, gazing at the water surface below, and the threads of love floating with the current.

Xiao Qian'er raised her head and glanced at Brother Rong'er who was silent.

The young lady of her family is independent and strong in front of her and outsiders, but in front of Brother Rong'er, she is always subconsciously dependent.

Therefore, once something happens, she likes to think too much, be sentimental, and worry about gains and losses.

"Zhao Rong, your wife seems to be quite insecure. After all, you were such a lame childhood sweetheart a few years ago. You didn't accompany her to grow up together. She is just a little girl who ventured out on her own."

The return in the heart lake is blocked from the outside world, but it does not affect its output of "insights" at all.

"Now you have come to Duyou City and returned to her side to accompany her. She has given everything to you, but she still feels uneasy in her heart... But it's normal. As far as I know, women usually feel anxious and insecure in the early stage after giving away their virginity, both mentally and physically..."

"You are the only one who understands." Zhao Rong couldn't help but sigh. He nodded and said, "I never thought that the Great Sword Spirit Gui also understands women's minds in great detail and has a firm grasp of them."

“…”

"It's such a waste to let you be a little sword spirit."

"roll."

Zhao Rong thought about it, and asked in his heart: "How do you know women's minds so well? Could it be that you are a veteran in the love field? Why didn't I see it before? With your attitude before, I almost thought you were misogynistic?"

The sword spirit nodded, "I hate you."

He said with confidence: "Yan Junnan is fine."

"Get lost!"

Outside the Heart Lake, Concubine Zhao Ling silently picked up the hot and wet towel, wrung it, and lowered her head to wipe the rows of tiny teeth marks on his shoulders.

She explained in a low voice:

"It's not that I won't give you the black jade, it's just..." She paused, nodded and said, "Just put it with me first, I'll keep it for you, I'll help you take care of it for a while, and you can continue to take care of my white jade..."

Zhao Rong still didn't respond.

He looked at her.

Concubine Zhao Ling lowered her head and waited for a while. Finally, under his fixed gaze, she couldn't help but say:

"Okay, I did it on purpose. I, I'm a little scared. I have to use something to hook you, otherwise you will become wild and your mind will wander to other people, just like holding a little wolfhound with a rope."

Zhao Rong looked stern, "Qing Jun, how dare you curse me?"

"Your mother said this before." She looked at him and nodded seriously, "That's what Aunt Liu taught me."

Zhao Rong: “…”

Someone was speechless after being choked and took a shower faster.

Soon, a glimpse of spring passed by behind the screen.

All three of them left the bathroom wearing simple white underwear.

Zhao Rong took the initiative to step forward and help the two beauties, one big and one small, in front of the dressing table to draw eyebrows and do makeup.

He had once been on his way north with Su Xiaoxiao when the little fox demon stuck to him and asked him to learn.

But he was reluctant at first, but now he is asking for it actively.

Zhao Rong is quite skilled in drawing eyebrows.

As he drew, he explained a few words softly.

Concubine Zhao Ling sat upright, nodded slightly, and watched the rhythmic rise and fall of his chest.

I don’t know what he is thinking.

The atmosphere became quiet, with only the sound of each other's breathing.

Neither of them mentioned the 'truth' they had just mentioned before taking a bath.

With the help of Zhao Rong, Concubine Zhao Ling and Xiao Qian'er finished dressing up.

The two girls first helped Zhao Rong get dressed, and then returned to the wedding bed together to pick up the scattered clothes and... their respective white wedding veils.

They turned their backs to their husbands, folded them carefully, and put them away close to their bodies...

Into each of these two snow-white handkerchiefs was 'kneaded' a 'blood-red flower bud' that had blossomed last night.

The three of them are leaving.

Probably won't be coming back here again.

Zhao Rong held the white jade at his waist, leaned against the door, and looked at the back of Zhao Lingfei who was busy tidying up the house.

I stared at it silently for a long while.

He suddenly said, "Qing Jun."

Zhao Lingfei lightly touched her hair with her little finger and looked back: "Hmm?"

"I'll give you another gift."

Zhao Rong said with a smile.
