Little Swallow seemed to sense that Yongqi's aura had changed again, so she quickly climbed onto the bed and wrapped herself tightly in the thin quilt. "You're not allowed to come here again!"
Seeing Xiao Yanzi like this, Yongqi smiled helplessly, "In this kind of weather, are you trying to kill yourself by wrapping yourself up in this?"
He reached out to pull the blanket, trying to get her out, but Xiao Yanzi hid in the corner and clung tightly, refusing to let go. "I'm not going out no matter what, unless you put your clothes back on and promise you won't touch me again!"
"I can put clothes on, but obviously not behind. How can I not touch you? I can't breathe if I'm apart from you for even a moment."
Yongqi smiled as he put on his clothes, and once again he was the elegant and handsome Fifth Prince Yongqi.
"They look respectable, but once they take off their clothes, they become completely different people..."
-------------------------------------
Revised version:
The two continued fooling around in the cabin. "How many children are you planning to have?"
Xiao Yanzi's sudden question startled Yongqi.
Seeing that Yongqi didn't answer immediately, Xiaoyanzi frowned. "What? Is this question difficult to answer?"
Yongqi shook his head, "Actually, if I could, I just want you as my only one!"
He didn't want any children to share Xiao Yanzi with her, but if they insisted on staying in the palace, without children, Xiao Yanzi's position would truly be in jeopardy!
“Yongqi, we can have two children first, whether it’s a boy or a girl, and then have another one a year or two later…”
Xiao Yanzi knew that if she didn't want her husband to take any concubines, she would have to have several children to shut outsiders up!
Although she and Yongqi could both shut everyone up, the process was too time-consuming and involved dealing with too many people. So, it would be better to have more children while ensuring their health, since the royal family could afford to raise them!
"Little Swallow, I can listen to you about the children, but I can't be deprived of the benefits I'm entitled to!"
Little Swallow muttered, "But there have to be limits, otherwise our bodies won't be able to take it!" Of course, the main reason was hers; she didn't want to spend every day in bed. She really wanted to go out for a stroll, even if it was just a walk in the palace!
Yongqi sighed, "Okay, I'll try to control it a little! I won't make you too tired!"
But whether he can control it or not is not up to him!
After all, he has never been able to resist Xiao Yanzi. Even if Xiao Yanzi does nothing but daydream, he feels that Xiao Yanzi is attracting him to do bad things!
"Promise me you won't go too far. If you do, you won't be allowed to have any close contact with me for a month!"
Yongqi remained silent. "Little Swallow, isn't this punishment too harsh?"
Little Swallow said in a serious tone, "As long as you control yourself, you won't be punished!"
-------------------------------------
Although Yongqi was still somewhat dissatisfied, he also felt sorry for Xiaoyanzi, so he really stopped making any moves.
After all, there's plenty of time in the future. After marriage, there will be plenty of time to keep her occupied, and physical strength can be built up.
Yongqi carefully dressed Xiaoyanzi and prepared to take her back to the palace.
Yongqi stepped out of the cabin, gave instructions to the boatman, and the boatman rowed back.
After waiting for a while, Xiao Yanzi saw the scenery outside the window and realized that they were almost at the shore. She was quite happy, thinking about escaping the clutches of Yongqi, that lecherous wolf, as soon as possible.
However, before stepping out of the cabin, Little Swallow suddenly asked, "The boatman didn't hear that, did he?"
She had been fooling around with Yongqi for so long, and her voice was embarrassing to hear. If someone heard it, she would be too ashamed to show her face.
"Don't worry, that boatman is deaf and mute." Yongqi smiled and looked at Xiaoyanzi, whom he was holding in his arms, and explained in a low voice.
"You really did plan this all along!" Little Swallow said, gently biting his neck and adding some more substance to it, but this stuff couldn't be hidden in his collar.
The boat docked, and Yongqi carried Xiaoyanzi aboard. The people outside watched them with smiles, making Xiaoyanzi feel a little uncomfortable. She lowered her head and whispered, "Okay, put me down now."
Yongqi shook his head, "How can that be? I want to hold my wife!"
Yongqi happily hugged his world and walked out of Bibo Pavilion. Xiaoshunzi and Xiaoguizi were already waiting outside in their carriage.
Seeing the two waiting outside, Xiao Yanzi glared at Yongqi and said, "Well, you've got some nerve. When we came out, it was just the two of us, but when we came back, the other two were already here. Did you plan this all along?"
Yongqi didn't say anything, but smiled and picked up Xiaoyanzi. After Xiaoyanzi got on, she quickly hid in the corner, obviously not wanting to be caught by Yongqi again.
However, after Yongqi got into the carriage and closed the curtain, he easily picked her up and placed her on his lap... His voice was a little hoarse as he whispered, "What are you hiding from? I'm not going to eat you!"
Little Swallow looked at Yongqi with disbelief. "Do you think I can't see what's in your eyes?"
"If it weren't for the fact that the time wasn't right, I would really like to take advantage of you today."
He had waited so many years in his life, and had been teased by her so many times. Now that he had a formal title, he was determined to get everything back, with interest.
He stared intently at her, and soon they were kissing again...
Just as he was about to make a move, Xiao Shunzi's voice rang out from outside, "Fifth Prince, we've arrived at Shenwu Gate."
Yongqi had no choice but to stop what he was doing. After tidying up his and Xiaoyanzi's slightly disheveled clothes, he got off the carriage first, then carried Xiaoyanzi back to Shufangzhai.
————————————————————
Before they knew it, it was the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the day of Yongyan's wedding.
After discussing with Emperor Qianlong and Yongqi, Xiao Jian and Xiao Yanzi decided that it would be better for Xiao Yanzi to be married off from the Xiao family mansion, carried in a sedan chair all the way to Yonghe Palace.
(After all, Xiao Yanzi wasn't Emperor Qianlong's adopted daughter, so the Imperial Palace and Shufangzhai couldn't really be considered her maternal home.)
On this day, the Xiao family also held a banquet to entertain the dignitaries who came to give gifts, and Xiao Yanzi's dowry had already been delivered to Yonghe Palace the day before.
Qing'er and Xia Ziwei stayed by her side, helping her with her makeup and dressing up. Jin Suo, Liu Qing and Liu Hong, Jiang Ying, Qing Yun, Mei Zhu and others also came to celebrate with her.
Little Swallow looked at Jin Suo, Liu Qing, and Liu Hong happily, "Can you come today?"
Jin Suo comforted her, "The waiters at Huibinlou are taking care of you, so of course we have to come and support you."
"Sister Meizhu, Qingyun, Jiang Ying, you've all come."
Qingyun smiled and said, "You are Princess Feiyan, and also our leader. How could we not come to your wedding?"
Jiang Ying continued, "I heard that the dowry your master gave you was sent to Yonghe Palace yesterday, but today, it is the dowry prepared by our brothers in the sect that is waiting to go to the palace with you."
"Don't worry, Master. You don't need to worry about money. You can take it whenever you need it. With me, Qingyun, here, there will never be a time when you're short of money!"
Qing'er laughed and said, "If Yongqi heard you say that, he'd probably get jealous again!"
Xia Ziwei chimed in, "That's right, that's right! My brother is always living in a vinegar vat; there's always a sour smell in the air!"
"Meizhu is truly happy to see the leader get married and find happiness." If it weren't for her and Yongqi's help back then, she wouldn't have the happy life she has today.
