Shen Chuwei was absorbed in painting when she suddenly heard a pleasant and familiar voice above her head. She was startled and looked up to see Xiao Jinyan standing behind her, looking at her sketch.

Being caught drawing by the model herself is so embarrassing.

"Your Highness, when did you come?" She stood up to greet him and silently put the drawing board on the desk.

"I just got here and didn't realize that you like painting so much?" Xiao Jinyan glanced at the drawing board on the desk. If he remembered correctly, the painting style was exactly the same as the one last year, which he had never seen before.

"Just practice when you have nothing to do and kill time." Shen Chuwei smiled and put away all the paintings and brushes.

Xiao Jinyan asked: "Why don't you paint anymore?"

Shen Chuwei said guiltily: "It's getting late today and I should rest. I will paint again tomorrow when I have time."

Xiao Jinyan still remembers the time when he arrived. Usually, Shen Chuwei would have fallen asleep by this time.

"Too."

Shen Chu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hid the painting tomorrow. "Your Highness has been so busy these days, have you had dinner yet?"

"I've used it." Xiao Jinyan rushed over as soon as he finished his work. Fortunately, the place was just next door, just a few steps away.

Shen Chuwei asked, "May I help His Highness undress?"

Xiao Jinyan: "Yeah."

Shen Chuwei took two steps forward and helped Xiao Jinyan undress with familiarity.

She took off her coat and underwear, and when she pulled open the collar, she saw the marks on her neck and stopped.

She always remembered that she beat Xiao Jinyan when she was drunk.

I offered to apply medicine to him several times, but Xiao Jinyan refused.

She thought Xiao Jinyan was thin-skinned and felt embarrassed after being beaten by a woman, so he refused to let her apply the ointment.

Now it seems that is not the case.

The marks didn't look like they were caused by a fist, but rather like strawberries.

Not only strawberries, but also teeth marks.

This position is definitely not what Xiao Jinyan has already taken, because he can't reach it.

Shen Chuwei thought about it and realized that Xiao Jinyan didn't seem to stay overnight in other palaces in the past two days, because Liu Xi came to report two days ago that Xiao Jinyan was busy dealing with the corruption case of County Magistrate Luo and had no time to go to other women.

Xiao Jinyan noticed that Shen Chuwei was not moving: "Xiao Jiu, what's wrong?"

He lowered his head following Shen Chuwei's gaze, and when he saw that position, he guessed what she saw.

Shen Chu pointed at the strawberries with a trembling voice and looked up at Xiao Jinyan: "Your Highness, this is not what I did, right?"

Xiao Jinyan asked back, "What do you think?"

Shen Chuwei wanted to deny it, but Xiao Jinyan's eyes made her say from the bottom of her heart: "It seems that there is no one else except me."

Xiao Jinyan snorted, "You are quite self-aware."

"Does it hurt?" Shen Chuwei regretted asking. It had been a few days, so it must not hurt anymore.

But then again, it's been a few days and the marks are still so obvious, which shows that it was very intense at the time.

Xiao Jinyan stared at Shen Chuwei steadily, his mind unconsciously recalling her bold actions and her kitten-like plea for mercy.

"If I say it hurts, do you have a solution?"

Shen Chuwei nodded, "...Yes."

Xiao Jinyan suddenly looked at her expectantly, "Really?"

Shen Chuwei looked at the strawberries, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, stood on tiptoes, and gently kissed them.

When Shen Chuwei tiptoed closer, Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and kept looking at her until a gentle kiss fell upon her.

The warm breath stunned him for a while.

"Not enough." Xiao Jinyan's eyes darkened and he uttered two words lightly. Then he leaned over to pick her up and strode towards the bed.

The next second, Shen Chuwei guessed that she was going to serve the emperor in the bed again. She grabbed Xiao Jinyan's hand and looked at Xiao Jinyan with her beautiful starry eyes.

"Your Highness, I..." The last two words were spoken close to Xiao Jinyan's ear.

Xiao Jinyan paused and calculated the time in her mind. It was also this time last month. Thinking of last month, she had a severe stomachache.

"Does your stomach hurt this time?"

Shen Chu nodded: "It hurts a little, but better than last time."

"Let me warm you up." Xiao Jinyan held her in his arms, put his big hands in, and pressed his hot palms against her belly. It felt cool there, which was indeed better than last time.

Shen Chuwei lay there obediently without moving, but she could not ignore the burning temperature on her stomach. At the same time, the pain seemed to disappear.

Covering the stomach has a good effect.

She raised her head to look at Xiao Jinyan, her eyes fell on his neck again, and saw his Adam's apple. She reached out to touch it curiously, only to see it rolling up and down, which she found somewhat novel.

Xiao Jinyan's breathing became heavier, "Don't move."

"Oh." Shen Chuwei obediently withdrew her hand and saw that there was a strand of hair hanging on her body. It belonged to Xiao Jinyan. She reached out and picked it up and played with it in her palm.

Xiao Jinyan said, "I just came back and heard about the appointment of Chang Liangdi as the Crown Princess. I have no such intention."

Shen Chuwei paused in her playful movements and said, "I understand."

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms, sighing in his heart that he didn't even have the right to appoint anyone as the Crown Princess.

Chang Liangdi used her uncle to put pressure on her, and the Queen Mother sided with Chang Liangdi.

This is a bit difficult.

Xiao Jinyan did not express his troubles. Listening to her even breathing, he knew that she had fallen asleep.

He also closed his eyes, but did not fall asleep, because if he fell asleep, his hands would leave his stomach.

The next day, after Xiao Jinyan woke up, he gently put the person in his arms on the bed, then got up and put on his clothes.

After getting dressed, Xiao Jinyan was about to leave when he saw the drawing board on the desk. He paused, then turned around, walked to the desk, picked up the drawing board, turned it over, and saw the painting on it.

The eyebrows and eyes clearly look a bit like me.

Is Shen Chuwei drawing herself? Xiao Jinyan raised the corners of his lips slightly, looking forward to the finished product. He put the drawing board back to its original place and turned to leave.

It was a sunny day today. Shen Chuwei had someone move a rattan chair to the yard. She lay on the chair and her stomach didn't hurt as much. It should be because Xiao Jinyan covered it with his hand last night.

Xuetuan chased the little gray rabbit early in the morning, like a responsible trainer, trying hard to motivate his students.

Concubine Xu and Tao Chenghui hurried over early in the morning.

Shen Chuwei looked at the two people walking hurriedly, and her voice was lazily: "Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Concubine Xu brought a small stool and sat next to Shen Chuwei, and said happily: "I brought good things."

If Shen Chuwei hadn't seen that Concubine Xu had nothing in her hands, she would have almost thought it was something delicious.

But she was still a little curious, "What good stuff?"

"Look." Concubine Xu took out a piece of paper from her sleeve pocket and couldn't wait to open it to show Shen Chuwei, "Look, this is the prescription I asked the imperial physician for yesterday. It's a prescription for having a child. The imperial physician said that many concubines are using it."

Tao Chenghui also said: "Let's try it first. If it doesn't work, I'll ask my father to get a prescription outside and send it to the palace."
