Xie Yuancheng, what's with that expression? Say something!
He finally spoke: "Ying'er, are you still recovering from your serious illness last time? I'm not quite sure." He even touched my forehead.
I grabbed his hand: "I'm not sick, really, you believe me, I'm not lying to you."
Xie Yuancheng nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay. Next time we meet a pawnshop owner, I'll ask for you. Alright, stop fooling around. I'm a little tired today. Let's rest first."
It's evening now, and it's not even dark yet: "It's already evening, take a shower and have dinner before you go to sleep, otherwise it's not good for your health."
Xie Yuancheng: "Alright, whatever you say. However, there was a sorcerer in our dynasty who could conjure many things. I'll send someone to find him and have him come and take a look at you."
I pushed him away: "Hmph, you can't trust a man's words."
Xie Yuancheng sighed, walked over, and stared intently at my belly: "Where am I not trustworthy? I tolerated you 'taking' a concubine today. However, to prevent any unforeseen complications later, and since you've already said I'm not trustworthy, let's break another one. Let's first produce a little marquis, and then let's see if you still 'take' concubines indiscriminately."
He swept me into the inner room, and I struggled: "Xie Yuancheng, this is a study, don't do anything rash. Besides, is it appropriate for me to be pregnant given my current status? Waaah~" Whenever I used my trump card, I would cry if I couldn't win an argument.
Xie Yuancheng placed me on the soft couch and leaned over me, saying, "Alright, I was just teasing you. Stop talking now and lie down with me for a while, I'm really sleepy." He really did fall asleep as soon as he said he would; what has this guy been doing all this time?
Looking at the shadow cast by his drooping eyelashes, it's clear he's still restless in his sleep. It's not easy for someone so young to have to bear so much.
No one will come in here. I'll just lie down next to him and rest my eyes.
Xie Yuancheng woke up after sleeping for half an hour. When I saw that he was awake, I was afraid that he was uncomfortable, so I rubbed his temples.
Were people in ancient times all simple-minded? He was so easily moved by such a small thing, staring at me with shining eyes. I felt embarrassed.
We had just gotten up when Li Zhaole kicked the door open and came in. "Brother Yuancheng, what are you all busy with? Why are you closing the door?"
This woman is really something; she has a loud voice and she's strong too.
Xie Yuancheng flicked his sleeves: "I was just chatting with the Prince Consort about some funny things to clear my head when you came in."
Li Zhaole, unsuspecting, said, "Oh, it's dinner time now. I'd like to invite the Prince Consort back for dinner. You've all been busy for several days in a row; you should take a break."
How should I reply? I won't go, but I have no reason to.
Xie Yuancheng took out a flood control plan, information about the people of Linyang, the Double Ninth Festival, winter clothing, cases of all sizes, and some files of unknown origin from a box on his desk.
Li Zhaole stared in disbelief, "What is this?"
Xie Yuancheng said as if he were showing off, "These are things that I have to do with the Prince Consort every day. The things during festivals are minor and can be forgotten after they're over. But the daily paperwork and the various matters in Linyang are more troublesome. I was so busy that I couldn't even keep my hands and feet moving. Fortunately, the Prince Consort came, and I was able to catch my breath."
Li Zhaole persisted: "Then dinner shouldn't take much time."
Xie Yuancheng looked troubled: "Sister Zhaole, I would also like to come with Madam, but it's almost the end of the year, and the Emperor is coming, so I need to be extra careful. Therefore, I can only trouble you, my husband, to come along."
Li Zhaole nodded: "Alright, then the prince consort should take care of his health. I'll make it up to you after we return to the palace." Never mind, let's not make it up to you.
