In a trance, Liu Tan felt like a small boat on the sea, being buffeted by the violent storm and losing his mind. He subconsciously wanted to hug Lu Xuan.
However, perhaps because the earth dragon was burning too hot, Lu Xuan's back became extremely smooth due to sweat, causing him to subconsciously exert force to find a fulcrum, but this left scratches on Lu Xuan's back.
Lu Xuan felt the pain of sweat seeping into his wound, which made him even more excited.
Liu Tan felt the changes in his body and took a breath. Before he could say anything, he felt Lu Xuan stop.
Before he could catch his breath, Lu Xuan flipped him over and made him lie face down on the bed. He could only hold on to the quilt tightly with both hands to feel a little safe.
Just as Liu Tan said, Lu Xuan really didn't let him sleep the whole night.
When he woke up again, the moon was already at its zenith, and he felt as if he had traveled back to yesterday.
Liu Tan touched the quilt beside him and found it was cold, so he knew that Lu Xuan must have gotten up.
He half closed his eyes, half asleep, wondering whether he should continue sleeping. It was already night, and if he got up now, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep that night.
Just as he was thinking about this, a shadow suddenly appeared before his eyes, and then a warm hand was placed on his forehead and asked softly, "Are you awake? Do you want to get up and eat something?"
If he hadn't said it, Liu Tan wouldn't have felt it, but after he said it, he felt hungry.
Liu Tan opened his eyes, looked at the neatly dressed Lu Xuan, and asked, "What time is it?"
"Three quarters past ten."
It wasn't too late, so Liu Tan said, "Get up."
After he finished speaking, he raised his body slightly and was about to stand up when he paused.
Lu Xuan put his arm around his shoulders, lending him strength while asking, "What's wrong?"
Liu Tan glanced at Lu Xuan. What else could he do? His entire body ached, as if he'd overworked. He hadn't noticed anything when he wasn't moving, but now that he was moving, it was excruciating.
However, he still said expressionlessly: "It's okay."
Thinking back, he had originally planned to treat Lu Xuan well last night. After all, although Lu Xuan didn't have much experience, he had a lot of theoretical knowledge. In this day and age, education in wealthy families all involved real-life concubines, while ordinary families could only see some pictures, or even poorer ones couldn't see any pictures at all.
But Liu Tan is very good, he has seen action movies.
How can this be compared?
Especially since the way he and Lu Xuan operated was definitely different from that between ordinary men and women. He had some knowledge of this and thought that he had to be gentle the first time.
As a result… Perhaps because the more he looked at the beauty under the light, the more beautiful she became, he was completely mesmerized by Lu Xuan's face and actually let her do whatever she wanted.
The result of his indulgence was that he almost thought he would not see the sun the next day.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but rub his belly subconsciously. He didn't know if it was a gifted talent of ethnic minorities, but yesterday he almost thought his belly was going to be pierced.
Seeing him rubbing his stomach, Lu Xuan thought he was feeling unwell and couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "What? Didn't you clean it up yesterday?"
This sentence inevitably reminded him of something, such as someone saying they would clean up for him, but ended up cleaning up again.
His neck and behind his ears couldn't help but turn a rouge color.
Not wanting to think about last night, Liu Tan immediately stood up and said, "I'm hungry. Is there anything else to eat? Bring me some."
He couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable when he sat up, but considering Lu Xuan's size, Liu Tan felt that the fact that he was not injured showed that he was very gentle.
In the end, Lu Xuan didn't respond after he finished speaking. When he turned around, he saw Lu Xuan staring at him intently. That look... was almost the same as last night.
Liu Tan looked down and found that because he was not wearing any underwear, his body was covered with marks of varying depths.
He reached out and covered Lu Xuan's eyes with his hands and said coldly, "If you keep looking like that, I'll make you sleep in the study tonight."
Lu Xuan smiled and seemed to blink, because Liu Tan's palm vaguely felt the touch of the other person's eyelashes.
He pulled Liu Tan's hand down, looked at him reluctantly again, and then put the new clothes he had prepared on Liu Tan.
After Liu Tan got dressed, he felt a little more comfortable with the aches and pains in his body. Seeing the soup on the table, he couldn't help but think of the bowl of soup he had last night. He couldn't help but look at Lu Xuan, "Did you drink the soup in advance yesterday?"
"No." Lu Xuan was slightly stunned. He didn't understand what Liu Tan meant at first, but he soon realized what he meant and said frankly, "If you want, I can drink a little too."
"Shut up!"
He's such a beast even without drinking, what will happen after drinking?
When he thought about the long New Year's holiday in the Northern Kingdom, which would last until the 15th, he felt a little uneasy.
According to folk customs, people visit relatives and friends during these days. Larger families may be busy until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Even if there are not so many people, it may take until the sixth or seventh day to settle down.
However, Liu Tan's relatives were either in Chang'an or scattered throughout the motherland. There was no one in the Northern Border Kingdom who was qualified for Liu Tan to visit, so he was simply given the task.
Before, Liu Tan felt that it was a piece of cake. He only needed to send the gift to Chang'an and he didn't have to socialize anymore.
But now... he wished he had a relative who would take him to visit, otherwise he would never be able to leave the palace for the next few days.
At Lu Xuan's age, when he just started having sex, it was natural for him to pester his sweetheart and keep asking for it.
Liu Tan is not physically old, but he is old in his heart. Shouldn't maintenance start with moderation?
To prevent any problems before they occur, Liu Tan solemnly told Lu Xuan that he couldn't party every night because he was worried about his waist... no, he was afraid that Lu Xuan's waist would be injured.
However, facts have proved that it is of no benefit to pretend to be strong. When Lu Xuan was questioned, he grabbed him and demonstrated his waist strength on the spot.
Afterwards, Liu Tan lay on the bed. Fortunately, he had made progress this time. At least he was sober when it was over. But he secretly hated himself for not having enough willpower. After being with Lu Xuan for so long, he still couldn't withstand the attack of that beautiful face.
But thinking about Lu Xuan's expression when she was emotional with her long hair loose, Liu Tan couldn't help drooling.
It turns out that this kind of thing can never be accomplished by one person taking the initiative.
Fortunately, Lu Xuan finally restrained himself. He was also worried that Liu Tan didn't get enough exercise on a daily basis, and would injure new injuries before his old ones healed.
After Liu Tan caught his breath, he immediately pulled him around.
After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Shuofang City began to become lively, and many small vendors in the market had already opened for business.
Although Liu Tan felt that it was not a good idea, he could not force it. Most of the shops these days were privately owned, and people opened them on their own accord. Did the imperial court have to force it?
Moreover, the fact that people are open for business means that there is business, which also means that the economy of Shuofang City is becoming stronger little by little.
Liu Tan took Lu Xuan out for a few days of fun. After visiting all the interesting places in the city, he even started to think about going out of the city to play.
But I don’t know where to have fun in this snowy place.
Liu Tan thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Is it really okay for you not to go back?"
After hearing this, Lu Xuan turned around and said with a smile: "Why? Do you want to go back with me?"
Liu Tan pinched Lu Xuan's chin and said, "It's a custom in the Han Dynasty that a newlywed bride must return home three days after her husband's death. I don't know if you have this custom over there, but since you've already married here, let's follow our customs. Even though five days have passed, it should still be in time."
Lu Xuan leaned over and kissed the corner of Liu Tan's mouth and said, "Isn't it too short?"
Liu Tan said, "If time is short, just stay a little longer. There hasn't been anything major happening recently anyway. As long as the Xiongnu don't cause trouble, Huo Xiang will take care of the rest."
Well, even if the Huns cause trouble, it must be said that as long as Huo Guang is there, the Northern Border Kingdom will not collapse.
As for him... he was actually the stumbling block on Huo Guang's road to power. He often disrupted the other party's pace. Although the overall effect was quite good, he thought that Huo Guang might be hoping that he would be idle for a while.
In that case, just follow Lu Xuan back to his "hometown".
Anyway... no matter what the position was, he insisted that Lu Xuan was the one to marry!
The Wusun Kingdom is his dowry!
However, Lu Xuan was still very happy that Liu Tan was willing to go back with him. He said with a little embarrassment, "It's a bit chaotic over there right now. You..."
Liu Tan waved his hand: "It's okay, just take it as a casual walk."
To be honest, Lu Xuan was a little worried about traveling so far in the middle of winter. He thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait until spring. It's too cold there right now."
"No, no, no, let's get ready now." Liu Tan was afraid of Lu Xuan. He thought that he should be more restrained on the road, right?
Lu Xuan was about to continue when he heard Miao Rui come over and report, "Your Highness, I'm requesting an audience on behalf of Si Yu Moshi."
"Mo Shi? What is he doing here? Let him in."
When Mo Shi came in, he felt a little uncomfortable for a moment when he saw the King of Wusun sitting so openly next to the King of the Northern Territory.
But these days, people don’t have any other thoughts about this kind of thing. At most, they think that the King of the North and the King of Wusun should get married first and have a successor before doing anything else.
However, these matters were not something he could take care of as a subordinate, so after turning this idea over in his mind, he put it aside.
Mo Shi saluted and sat down. He respectfully handed the blueprint to Liu Tan and said, "Your Highness, this is our latest design. Please correct it."
Liu Tan was stunned for a moment: "New design? Just finished?"
Mo Shi nodded quickly: "We discussed it yesterday, and based on our experience, we haven't found any problems yet, but I'd like to ask Your Highness for your specific advice."
Please enlighten me...Mo Shi is being very humble.
However, Liu Tan was a little puzzled and said, "You don't know that the annual holiday in the Northern Kingdom is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, right? You can't start writing before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Why are you doing this instead of taking a good vacation?"
Mo Shi looked up, somewhat bewildered, and said, "But I heard that during last year's New Year, Your Highness did not take a holiday at all. He worked tirelessly with the Gongshu family to develop the Northern Plow."
Liu Tan: ...
