Chapter 187 The Emperor was shocked by her decision
Shen Yuanwei was truly shocked.
She could hardly believe her ears.
Is her mother-in-law too open-minded?
Xiao Lingzhao looked down at her, his eyelashes trembling, "Do you like it?"
Of course Shen Yuanwei likes it.
She placed her finger on Xiao Lingzhao's chest and asked him curiously, "How did mother know all this..."
Xiao Lingzhao coughed lightly, "My mother loves making friends, of all kinds. One of her good friends runs a brothel..."
Shen Yuanwei suddenly realized.
Xiao Lingzhao put his arm around her waist and said with a smile, "Not only did mother give me this dress to please you, she also stuffed a package into my pocket, saying that it would save you from getting pregnant."
Shen Yuanwei blinked.
She recalled that when she got married last year, her mother-in-law knew that she was drinking contraceptive soup, and she told her with great concern that there were other ways to avoid pregnancy, so why bother taking medicine, which was very harmful to the body...
At that time, her mother-in-law said that she would send her something, but unfortunately she was summoned into the palace by Xie Junlin later, and she did not have the time to see what the ancient version of the small umbrella looked like.
Now, we can finally see it, and have we used it?
She spread out her palms expectantly, "Where's the thing? Give it to me, let me see it."
Xiao Lingzhao smiled, picked her up and laid her on the bed.
He reached out and pulled down the bed curtains. Layers of curtains fell, hiding the figures of him and Shen Yuanwei. Under the candlelight, only he could be seen leaning over to cover them.
"I'll show you this..."
"Tonight, we'll see enough."
…
Shen Yuanwei and Xiao Lingzhao were like newlyweds in the brocade tent. Deep in the palace, Xie Junlin lay alone on his spacious dragon bed, unable to sleep.
The previous hustle and bustle was gone, and now he felt even more lonely.
He looked at the flickering candlelight, resting his head on his arms, his mind full of what Xiao Lingzhao and Shen Yuanwei were doing at that moment.
They should have returned to the general's mansion, should have taken a shower, and should be lying on the bed...
Xiao Lingzhao should be sweating profusely and enjoying it at this moment.
Shen Yuanwei was clinging to Xiao Lingzhao's arm, being very cooperative.
It's not like when I'm with him, I'm not so repulsive, I'm not so passive, it always takes him a long time to respond...
Xie Junlin closed his eyes.
He didn't want to think about those scenes anymore, didn't want to make himself suffer.
He wanted to fall asleep immediately. People were always prone to feeling sad and lost in the deep night. They should sleep at night, so how could they let their imagination run wild?
But he tried again and again, but just couldn't fall asleep.
He didn't allow himself to think about it, but those images kept appearing before his eyes like a spell and couldn't be shaken off.
He opened his eyes.
He looked at his pillow, and vaguely, he seemed to see the scene of Shen Yuanwei lying there...
At that time, Shen Yuanwei was still his Zhaopin. Although Shen Yuanwei resisted him and didn't want to be his woman, she would be led into indulgence by him here every night.
"Shen Yuanwei..."
His thin lips parted slightly, and his throat felt dry.
"Why are you so stubborn? Why don't you want to follow me? Am I not good enough to you..."
"Why can't you accept your fate like other women? Other women will compromise for their children, why can't you..."
"Whatever Xiao Lingzhao can give you, I can give you. I can make you a concubine and a queen mother in the future. You and the queen will be the most noble women in this harem. Why don't you want to stay with me?"
"Originally, tonight was going to be a great day for you and me, like a newlywed..."
"But you gave up on me. The person next to you is Xiao Lingzhao, not me..."
The more Xie Junlin murmured, the more uncomfortable and suffocated he felt.
He was so angry that he wanted to rush to the general's mansion with a sword and smash the door.
But how could he be so foolish and cruel?
In the end, he suppressed everything and endured the sadness alone in this empty room.
…
Xie Junlin tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep well, but Shen Yuanwei and Xiao Lingzhao slept exceptionally well.
When you are tired, sleep well.
The next day, it was already bright when Shen Yuanwei woke up in Xiao Lingzhao's arms.
She looked at Xiao Lingzhao's handsome face and smiled slightly.
"Morning, my husband."
Xiao Lingzhao also smiled gently.
"Morning, ma'am."
Shen Yuanwei moved closer to him, rubbed against his chest again, and then asked him in a very low voice, "Are you... feeling okay?"
Xiao Lingzhao laughed.
Do women always feel so insecure after giving birth?
He whispered, "I thought I had asked you three times, which was enough to explain my feelings. It seems that you haven't felt it clearly, right?"
His fingers, which were tightly gripping Shen Yuanwei's waist, suddenly fell on Shen Yuanwei's feet.
He gently lifted Yuan Wei's legs.
"Then come again."
Shen Yuanwei only had time to groan before she could say nothing more.
Her cheek sunk into the pillow, and she just wanted to say that marrying a god of war is really too tiring.
but--
She likes it.
The young couple delayed for a while before getting up one after another.
They went to the dining room hand in hand to have dinner. The old general and his wife had already finished their meal. The old general went to help his son with tomorrow's military arrangements, while the old lady was still waiting in the dining room.
Seeing that the two people had finally arrived, the old lady looked over with a smile.
Seeing her son's energetic look, the old lady's lips curled up slightly.
Young people...
Tsk tsk.
The old lady stood up and said, "Your father and I have already had our meal. Your breakfast is warming on the stove. I'll have someone bring it to you."
Shen Yuanwei smiled sweetly, "Thank you, mother."
The old lady patted her soft little hands and said with a smile, "What are you thanking me for? Don't be polite to me. When Ling Zhao goes to the border, we have to get along better. We can't be so polite, understand?"
Shen Yuanwei and Xiao Lingzhao looked at each other.
Xiao Lingzhao smiled sweetly, "Mom, Yuan Wei can't stay in the capital to accompany you. She wants to go to the border with me."
The old lady was stunned.
After realizing what was happening, the old lady was extremely surprised. She held Shen Yuanwei's fingers tightly and asked, "Really? Aren't you afraid of the bitter cold at the border?"
Shen Yuanwei nodded.
"I told Ling Zhao that I would stay with him for a while. If I can't adapt, I will return to Beijing. If I can adapt, I will stay with him for a long time."
The old lady nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, if you can't adapt, you can come back. Life at the border is indeed a bit hard, and it's normal that you can't adapt."
After saying that, she hugged Shen Yuanwei tightly.
"Yuan Wei, Ling Zhao was blessed to marry a wife like you in his previous life. You are no longer an ordinary person. You are the Prince of Zhao County appointed by the emperor himself. You could have gone to Taihu Water Village to be your prince, or you could have stayed in the capital to look after your two children. However, you were willing to accompany Ling Zhao to the border to suffer. Your sincerity towards him touched me, really..."
Shen Yuanwei also hugged her mother-in-law.
She said, "Mom, it was Ling Zhao who treated me well first, so I treated him like this. It was because you and Dad were good to me that I was willing to consider myself a member of the Xiao family. You are all my beloved relatives, so of course I have to treat you sincerely."
The old lady couldn't stop smiling.
Their family really gets along well with this daughter-in-law.
It seems like they were destined to be a family.
…
When the news that Shen Yuanwei was going to the border reached the palace, Xie Junlin accidentally dropped the cup in his hand.
