After their lovemaking, Lin Mo turned over, got out of bed, walked around the room, drew back the heavy brocade curtains, and pushed open the narrow windows high up, letting the chill of the night flow into the bedroom.
He stood quietly by the window, completely naked, with nothing in his hands, facing the vast, dark sky, the night wind whistling around him.
Sun Ruoxi pulled the warm blanket over her chin and silently looked at her newlywed husband.
Suddenly, she felt so thin and fragile.
“Yes, he’s only twenty years old!” Sun Ruoxi thought to herself, “yet he has already become the Regent of Great Xia, the youngest Regent in the history of Great Xia!”
"The Shu region, the Dos grasslands, and the capital city are all under his control."
"Bai Qi, Ran Min, Xu Chu, Yao Guangxiao... so many fierce generals and wise ministers of the time were loyal to him."
"But he's only twenty years old, yet he has to face so much!"
Her body was still aching from his violent movements, but it was a pleasurable pain.
She could feel the fruit of their love within her. She prayed that the seed would blossom and bear fruit.
She desperately wanted to have a son for him...
"Damn it, I forgot about the princess!" Lin Mo said as he turned to face her, his expression heavy and his tone disordered.
Sun Ruoxi sat up in bed: "Princess?"
“Yes.” Lin Mo closed the window and walked back to the bedside. “The people from Xuanhua Palace found her, right at our wedding. She was with Dongpan Ge’s spy, a prisoner who had been granted amnesty, with her hair shaved short and dressed in prisoner’s clothes.”
They definitely want to take her to East Pangor.
Sun Ruoxi pondered for a moment, "The people from Xuanhua Palace are quite skilled; they should be able to stop them..." she said, "They probably don't want to harm the innocent!"
Lin Mo nodded. "Yes, He Xiao has already sent people to follow them. I don't know when they'll be able to bring them back! After all, that girl holds a grudge against me!"
Lin Mo was more worried that Zhao Zhilan might threaten to harm herself and refuse to come back no matter what.
"Brother Lin Mo, why don't you let her leave?" Sun Ruoxi asked.
"Huh? What did you say? Let her leave?" Lin Mo's eyes widened, almost unable to believe his ears.
“Yes, let her leave!” Sun Ruoxi repeated. “Brother Lin Mo, if the princess is in the capital, how will she face you and her enemies?”
A woman of marriageable age should marry, and she is now an adult. But given her current status, what kind of family would be a good match for her? If she returns, the capital will undoubtedly be a giant cage, locking her up for life!
Lin Mo was speechless.
"In my opinion, it would be better to let her go out and see the world. We can send someone to protect her secretly," Sun Ruoxi said. "After that, if she ever comes to her senses and wants to come back, it won't be too late to bring her back."
“But… let her go to Dongpango!” Lin Mo said anxiously.
Living a simple life in this world?
“Brother Lin Mo, I never said she should go to Dongpan Ge!” Sun Ruoxi said. “The princess is still within the territory of Da Xia, and the people from Xuanhua Palace are keeping an eye on her.”
"Can't we just let her go?"
Sun Ruoxi nodded. "As for the Great Xia, the Great Xia princess isn't someone you can just see whenever you want!" she said. "And the princess's boudoir in the palace is even more off-limits to anyone who wants to enter."
Lin Mo thought the same way and would definitely claim to the outside world that the princess had been staying in the palace the whole time.
"Then I'll listen to you!" Lin Mo smiled.
At that moment, Lin Mo caught a glimpse of Sun Ruoxi's half-exposed body out of the corner of his eye, and his brother protested again, much to his dismay.
"Hehe, who just said they wanted to have my babies?" he chuckled mischievously.
"Ah... Brother Lin Mo, you're so annoying!" Sun Ruoxi blushed. At this moment, she regretted saying those words and teasing Lin Mo.
If this continues a few more times, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of bed the next day to serve tea to my wife.
Lin Mo didn't care about any of that. He flipped over and pinned Sun Ruoxi to the bed. "My beloved concubine, let's complete the crucial step of having a baby!"
~~~
The next day, Sun Ruoxi got up, exhausted.
She glanced at Lin Mo on the bed and sighed shyly, "Brother Lin Mo, how can you be so lecherous..."
Earlier, she had gotten up early because, according to the rules of the Great Xia Dynasty, she had to serve tea to Jiang Wan'er, her daughter-in-law. So she kindly woke Lin Mo up, but unexpectedly, because of this action, Lin Mo suggested "doing morning exercises".
Before Sun Ruoxi could respond, another exhausting ordeal ensued.
More importantly, upon hearing the noise inside, the female official who was serving outside the door happened to push the door open and enter.
At that moment, Lin Mo was on top of Sun Ruoxi, wielding a long spear; the scene was incredibly embarrassing.
Lin Mo seemed to ignore him, continuing to fire away.
Sun Ruoxi was so embarrassed.
Well, that female official was even more embarrassed!
Therefore, Sun Ruoxi was smarter this time. She carefully put on her clothes, and even did her makeup and jewelry quietly in the outer room, for fear of waking Lin Mo.
Su Qing'er and Sun Ruoxi are the same age, but Su Qing'er is four months older. In terms of status, Sun Ruoxi is the legal wife, but she, who has been well-versed in poetry and literature since childhood, is unwilling to call Su Qing'er "Sister Su".
Su Qing'er was originally the daughter of a chieftain, and according to the customs of the Great Xia Dynasty, her status was low. She was deeply moved when Sun Ruoxi called her "elder sister." The two hit it off immediately upon meeting in the morning and became good sisters.
Seeing this, Jiang Wan'er was very pleased.
As a mother-in-law, I naturally hope that my daughter-in-law and I get along well.
By the time Lin Mo scratched the itch on his bottom and got up, it was already noon.
