Chapter 175 If the world is unfair
Xuanyuan Jing paused, a hint of helplessness and heartache flashed in his eyes, but he did not retreat. Instead, he slowly approached Xiao Fuguang.
"Fu Guang, I know you are angry, but I have my reasons for doing this."
Xuanyuan Jing tried to explain, with a barely perceptible tenderness in his tone.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fuguang sneered and pierced Xuanyuan Jing with his eyes like ice blades.
"Reason? What reason could you have to prepare contraceptive soup for me? Xuanyuan Jing, what do you think of me?"
Xuanyuan Jing was very angry. He took a deep breath, walked to Xiao Fuguang and sat down. He reached out to hold her hand, but was violently shaken away by Xiao Fuguang.
"Fuguang, calm down for a moment. The situation is complicated right now, and we haven't gained a firm footing yet. We need to think long and hard about the child."
There was a flicker of disappointment in his eyes. He also wanted to have a child with her, but he really didn't want to burden her.
"Prince Rong and his followers are watching us covetously, and Su Yan is hiding in the shadows like a poisonous snake, ready to jump out and bite us at any time. If you are pregnant at this time, I am really afraid that you will be in danger."
As he said this, he reached out to hold her hand. This time, Xiao Fuguang did not shake his hand off.
"Fuguang, you are the princess I have always dreamed of marrying. I wish I could have more children with you, but sometimes we have no choice and we have to consider the overall situation. I don't want to put you in danger just because of a child."
It is true that having a child makes it easy to be restricted, and the physical condition is different when pregnant. If you accidentally fall into someone else's scheme... Thinking of his child in his previous life, Xiao Fuguang sighed.
"If you have any concerns, you should tell me directly. What's the point of just bringing me a bowl of contraceptive soup?"
"Have you ever considered my feelings?"
Xuanyuan Jing held Xiao Fuguang's hand tightly, his eyes full of apology and affection.
"Fu Guang, I was inconsiderate. I was only thinking about how to protect you, but I ignored your feelings. I admit that my method was wrong, but I have absolutely no intention of disrespecting or loving you."
He gently embraced Xiao Fuguang in his arms and continued.
"Last night's incident made me realize that we haven't communicated enough. From now on, no matter what happens, I will be honest with you."
Although his explanation was quite reasonable, Xiao Fuguang was still angry and remained silent.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Jing sighed and spoke in a magnetic voice in her ear.
"Fuguang, please don't be angry, okay?"
"Forgive me just this once."
"If I'm worried about you and the baby, and I'm afraid you and the baby are in danger, then once everything is settled, we can have children together every day, eight or ten, okay?"
Xiao Fuguang snorted coldly when he heard this.
"Ten or eight, I'm not a pig."
Xuanyuan Jing looked at her tenderly and reached out to pinch the tip of her nose.
"Okay, okay, how many children do you want to have? We'll have as many as you want, okay?"
Xiao Fuguang tilted his head to the side.
"Who will bear your child?"
"Don't you want it? I won't have any more children."
Xuanyuan Jing followed up on her words after hearing them.
"Okay, let's not have a baby right now."
"After things get stable, I want to have a baby with you, is that okay?"
Xiao Fuguang glanced at her and said nothing.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Jing gave Jiang Yuan a look.
Soon, Jiang Yuan brought another bowl of contraceptive soup at just the right temperature.
Xuanyuan Jing brought over the contraceptive soup.
"Be good, let's drink the medicine first, okay?"
Xiao Fuguang looked at the bowl of black medicine, reached out to pick it up, looked at Xuanyuan Jing angrily, and then drank it all in one gulp.
Xuanyuan Jing hurriedly took two candied dates and handed them over.
"Come, eat a candied date first."
Xiao Fuguang opened his mouth and took a bite of a candied date, chewed it, and after eating it, he finally felt that the taste in his mouth was not so bitter anymore.
Glancing at Xuanyuan Jing.
"I still feel really angry."
"I don't want to bother with you today."
"Xingyue, prepare the carriage, we are going out to eat."
"I'm hungry."
After saying that, he walked out angrily.
At the gate of the Regent's Palace.
With the help of An Ning and his men, Concubine Hui's things were quickly packed up. An Ning supported Concubine Hui and spoke.
"Mother, my brother has already told me the address of the house. An Ning will accompany you to see the new house."
Concubine Hui glanced at the peony garden. She had only lived there for a few days and didn't expect to leave soon. There was a hint of reluctance in her eyes, but with An Ning's support, she finally walked out of the mansion.
Walking all the way to the gate of the Regent's Palace, He Nanyou looked back at the plaque of the Regent's Palace. Thinking of how he was beaten and vomited blood last night, and how his disheveled appearance was seen by the servants, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Fuguang, what's so good about you?
You actually let your cousin defend you so much, not only not disobeying my aunt, but also driving us out of the Regent's Palace. Since you look down on me so much and are unfilial and unjust to me and my aunt, don't blame me. One day, I will definitely step into this Regent's Palace openly.
Cloud guest ferry.
After drinking a few cups of tea, Han Susu finally saw Xiao Fuguang coming in and hurriedly stood up respectfully.
"Meet the lady."
Xiao Fuguang walked aside and sat down.
"Stop being so polite."
"Xingyue, hurry up and get the food served."
Upon hearing this, Xingyue immediately went out to arrange for the dishes to be served. The princess had not had time to eat breakfast, and had not eaten lunch because she was angry, so she must be very hungry now.
Han Susu looked at Xiao Fuguang.
"Princess, did you not have lunch?"
Xiao Fuguang nodded.
"Let's eat first and talk about it later."
Then he picked up the pastry on the table and put it in his mouth.
Soon Xingyue brought the food over. Xiao Fuguang concentrated on eating and didn't put down his bowl and chopsticks until he was full.
"Is the Han family preparing to head to the northern border?"
Han Susu nodded.
"Yes, it's time to go. We should have left a long time ago, but we were delayed for some time because of the Sun family's affairs."
As he said that, he took out a box and pushed it in front of Xiao Fuguang.
"Miss, this is the Sun family's shop. Inside is the title deed and the deeds of the shopkeeper and his servant. Since I'm not in the imperial city, I'll give it to the princess. Perhaps it will be useful to her. Since you arranged for someone to manage it, 60% of the money earned will belong to her."
Xiao Fuguang picked up the land deeds in the box and took a look. They were all shops with relatively good locations.
"Boss Han, the reason I took 60% of the wool business in the North is because I provided the funds and also stepped in to solve some problems. These are all your existing businesses in the Imperial City. If I took another 60%, it would be embarrassing."
Han Susu smiled and spoke hurriedly upon hearing this.
"It is my honor to be able to do business with the princess. Besides, my child still needs the princess to take care of him."
When Xixi was mentioned, a smile appeared on Xiao Fuguang's face.
"Xixi is a well-behaved and lovely child. This princess likes him very much. If I wasn't afraid of bringing him some danger, this princess would have wanted to raise him in the Regent's Palace."
Although she didn't know what kind of dangers the princess would face, her arrangement must make sense, Han Susu said with a smile.
"Xixi also likes the princess very much. After I leave the imperial city, I hope the princess can visit him more often."
Xiao Fuguang nodded.
"Don't worry, just send the child to the Imperial Master's Mansion. I will definitely visit him whenever I have time."
Anjin Inn.
Li Wenyuan and Hua Ziye were drinking.
Looking at Li Wenyuan drinking one glass of wine after another with a sad look on his face, Hua Ziye sighed.
"Brother Wenyuan, I've seen your abilities. They're no less capable than mine, the third place winner. It was just a fluke that you got one more question wrong during our imperial examination. The brothers who stayed in the Imperial City have all risen through the ranks or gained recognition. I'm worried about your current situation of being unappreciated."
After hearing this, Li Wenyuan picked up the glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
"For those of us from humble backgrounds, if we don't have a strong backing, there's no way we can make it big."
Hua Ziye raised his hand and filled his glass with wine.
"I understand. I understand very well. If I hadn't been lucky enough to work for His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, I'm afraid I'd be in the same situation as Brother Li now. Half a month ago, the position above you became vacant, and I was thinking of buying a jar of good wine for you to celebrate. I didn't expect..."
He said with a sigh.
"Alas, I didn't expect that such an incompetent person would take that position."
Li Wenyuan's eyes were filled with resentment when he heard this.
"They are relatives of the Yao family. How can we compare with them?"
Hua Ziye raised a glass of wine to toast him.
"From what I've seen from him over the past half month, he's nothing more than a mediocre person just getting by. How can he be worthy of being an official?"
Li Wenyuan's eyes showed even more resentment when he heard this.
"Evil officials are in power, and talented people are buried. How unfair is this world."
Hua Ziye saw that the time was almost right.
"Brother Li, if this world is unfair, then we will fight for a way out for ourselves."
