After a night of passion, Song Shian got up and left at dawn.
In the early morning, Gu Xiaoqiao opened his eyes in a daze, only to feel his body aching, as if he had been crushed.
She rubbed her waist and turned over to lie on her stomach.
I was muttering to myself: It is said that women in their thirties are as ferocious as wolves and tigers, and this man who has just tasted meat is even more terrifying. He looks like a refreshing little puppy, but in fact, he is no different from a hungry wolf.
Thinking about the madness of last night, Gu Xiaoqiao couldn't help but shook his head.
"Young Madam, are you awake?"
Outside the door, a maid's soft and weak voice came to inquire.
Gu Xiaoqiao responded, "Well, come in."
The door curtain was lifted, and a little girl in a pink and green dress walked in carrying a wooden basin. Her cheeks were flushed, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Gu Xiaoqiao.
"Young Madam, I will help you wash up."
As she spoke, she carefully helped Gu Xiaoqiao get dressed, her movements meticulous and serious, not daring to slack off for a moment.
Gu Xiaoqiao sat up and couldn't help laughing when he saw her appearance.
"May I have your name?"
"In reply to the young lady, my name is Xiangtao."
Xiang Tao replied, "The prince said that I will stay with the young lady and serve her from now on."
"Yeah, okay."
"Then do you know where the prince went?"
Xiang Tao thought for a moment and replied, "I'm not sure, but the prince had already instructed you when he left that you don't need to go to the main courtyard to offer tea to your parents-in-law. Just rest well."
"Um?"
Doesn’t a new daughter-in-law have to serve tea to her parents-in-law on the first day of marriage?
"Isn't it inappropriate to do this?" Gu Xiaoqiao asked with a frown.
Xiang Tao nodded. "That's exactly what the prince meant. He said that our expenses have never been spent on the mansion, and the prince's relationship with the master and his wife has never been harmonious..."
After hearing her say this, Gu Xiaoqiao did not refute.
No matter what era, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is always a troublesome matter.
Since Song Shian said so himself, she should just listen to him to avoid getting herself into trouble.
"Well, since the prince said no, then I won't go."
Gu Xiaoqiao shrugged, looking lazy.
When Xiangtao saw Gu Xiaoqiao like this, her originally nervous heart now relaxed a lot.
"I will help you dress up."
As Xiangtao spoke, she helped Gu Xiaoqiao sit in front of the dressing table and helped her comb her hair.
Gu Xiaoqiao closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of the other person's warm fingers sliding on her head, slowly enjoying it.
Xiangtao combed her hair for a while and then helped Gu Xiaoqiao up.
Gu Xiaoqiao glanced at the bronze mirror. The image of herself was wearing a smoky-colored brocade robe embroidered with peony patterns. Her thick black hair was tied into a bun as a bride should have, with a red gold hairpin inlaid with rubies inserted diagonally.
"Young Madam looks very beautiful in this outfit." Xiangtao smiled as she looked at Gu Xiaoqiao's satisfied expression.
The young lady seems quite easy-going and doesn't have any airs at all.
Life after marriage was even more leisurely than Gu Xiaoqiao had imagined.
Not having to deal with my parents-in-law or be on guard against others trying to trip me up every day is simply a pleasure.
Moreover, it was unknown what kind of secret agreement Song Shi'an had reached with the emperor, but the emperor actually agreed to let him set up his own family. Not only that, he was also granted the title of Prince of Xin'an.
From then on, Song Shian had more and more free time. Apart from checking the accounts of some industries, he also accompanied Gu Xiaoqiao on travels.
Perhaps because of Gu Xiaoqiao's special physique in this world, most pregnancies are multiple births, and two or three births are very common.
On this day, 28-year-old Gu Xiaoqiao became pregnant again.
And this time she was pregnant with five!
When the system told her, Gu Xiaoqiao was shocked herself, and then she decisively chose to take Song Shian to a place where no one knew them to give birth.
To be honest, a cat's body is indeed stronger than a human's, so giving birth to a kitten is much easier for it than for humans.
Fortunately, there was nothing strange about the children born. They were all normal people.
Song Shian's initial fear and joy at hearing about the twins has now turned into a long sigh of resentment.
"Why, are you unhappy?"
Gu Xiaoqiao looked at Song Shian's bitter face and couldn't help teasing him, "Alas, I don't know who was the one who pestered me to give him a child."
Song Shian's cheeks flushed slightly upon hearing this, and he coughed dryly a few times. Seeing that no one was around, he leaned closer to Gu Xiaoqiao and whispered, "But my lady, our little Twelve is already able to run around, so let's not have this baby after this one is born, dear!"
He used to think it was good to have a child, but later he found that after having a child, half of Gu Xiaoqiao's energy was spent on the child.
Although they are usually taken care of by wet nurses and maids, there are some clingy little ones who pester their wives for hugs every day.
I finally waited until his little twelve-year-old child was old enough to travel around, but she ended up getting pregnant again.
Song Shian had a headache.
But his wife cares more about having children than he does.
Seeing his worried look, Gu Xiaoqiao couldn't help but smile. She reached out and touched his face, coaxing him, "Okay, okay, this is the last baby. After this one, we'll just live our lives happily together, okay?"
"That's more like it."
When Song Shian heard Gu Xiaoqiao's agreement, he immediately smiled, pulled her in, and gently kissed her on the forehead. "My dear, you have worked hard. I will make you something you want to eat this afternoon."
Gu Xiaoqiao leaned on Song Shian's chest and said with a smile, "Anything is fine. I love to eat anything you cook."
