Chapter 42: Too Many People
Chu Sishui was a little surprised. "So you know everything. But you are wrong about one thing. I did not want to have a baby at first for this reason, but now I have changed my mind. I just feel that I am still young and want to wait a few years to have a baby."
Rong Zhuo, "Eighteen is not young anymore. An ordinary Han girl would have become a mother by now."
Chu Sishui, "So you dislike my age? That's right, my husband, you are only twenty-two years old, really in the prime of your life. The women in Jinxiao City actually have some fantasies about you. Originally, everyone was afraid that you might be inconvenient. Now that I'm marrying you, everyone will know that there is nothing wrong with you. I guess the women in Jinxiao City who want to marry you will line up all the way to the Wei River."
Rong Zhuo looked down at her, "Talk nicely and don't go off topic. Since you don't mean what I think, don't take random medicines in the future. If you are pregnant, just give birth to the baby. You don't need to worry about what happens next. I'm not as weak as you think."
"As for the question of taking a concubine, I have made it clear. I have died once, and it can be said that it is your credit that I am still alive. Just think of it as me living for you, and not for anyone else."
Chu Sishui was so moved that she softened her voice, "I'm sorry I misunderstood you."
After saying that, she turned around and hugged him. The clear fragrance of plum blossoms still made her miss him.
Rong Zhuo tightened his arms around him and said, "Let me take care of this matter from now on. You just need to be a millet bug."
Chu Sishui wiped her tears and asked, "So you want a child?"
Rong Zhuo, "Just let it be."
Chu Sishui felt that she had been so thoughtful in the past, and she felt a little sorry for him. "Xiao Yueliang, I will treat you well in the future."
Rong Zhuo lowered his head and took her out of his arms. "I should be the one saying this. It's normal for you to think that way. At that time, I really couldn't guarantee more. It's different now, but people can't make better choices based on their previous situations, so I don't blame you. I just hope that in the future, you can trust me completely."
Chu Sishui blinked her warm eyes and nodded.
The two of them talked about the questions that were in their hearts, and they were in a better mood than usual. At this moment, they felt that the lotus flowers in front of them were particularly beautiful.
Chu Sishui looked up at Rong Zhuo who was wearing a flower in his hair and said, "My husband is too handsome, so I should wear the flower."
After saying that, he took down the lotus.
Rong Zhuo smiled and put the lotus on the princess, whose appearance was not as "good" as his, and instantly understood what she said.
He should be the only one to enjoy her beauty. Thinking of this, he took the flower down and threw it back into the pond.
Chu Sishui said, "What a waste of a beautiful flower."
Rong Zhuo rode his horse forward. Time passed by little by little. It was almost noon and the farmers were preparing to go home to eat and rest.
Groups of people were walking and stopping, looking at them.
Rong Zhuo noticed the thin layer of sweat on Chu Sishui's body. Her delicate skin was tanned a little pink by the sun. The faint fragrance on her body was even more tempting. He couldn't help but want to go back.
"It's a bit hot, let's go back first."
The heat of his breath sprayed on her neck, and she nodded, feeling shy for once.
Rong Zhuo rode his horse at a brisk pace, circling the lake once more. Later on, the horse actually started to run. Chu Sishui felt the cool breeze and the joy in her heart. "Next time, let's go to the grassland to ride horses. I remember there is a royal manor in Jinxiao City, and the grassland there is very well maintained."
Rong Zhuo's breathing was a little disordered, and he replied casually with "hmm". Every strand of her hair blowing on him caused a commotion. There were passers-by far and near. For the first time, he felt that it was not good to have too many people in the countryside, just like now he wanted to kiss her but had to consider too many things.
The horse ran fast and returned to the courtyard in a short while. Fei Jian and Jin Pei helped the two men get off the horse and walked into the courtyard.
After preparing the bathing supplies, only a quarter of an hour had passed when Chu Sishui relaxedly soaked in the bathtub.
Rong Zhuo originally planned to use the bathroom next door. After all, the couple had never bathed together before. But today he pushed open the door on this side.
"No need to serve me, Luhe, go and do your work first." Chu Sishui didn't even look at the person who came.
Rong Zhuo, "It's me."
Chu Sishui looked at him through the screen and said in surprise, "Xiaoyue, why are you here? Do you need someone to help you bathe? Otherwise, you can wait for a while, I will come over when I am done here."
Rong Zhuo, "No, I just came to get the aromatherapy."
Chu Sishui didn't think much about it and continued to sink into the pool. When the hot water covered her face, a rare feeling of comfort swept over her whole body.
Rong Zhuo looked at it for a while and said, "Don't hold your breath for too long."
After saying that, he took the aromatherapy that he didn't need and left.
Chu Sishui felt a little strange at this moment, as Rong Zhuo didn't seem to need aromatherapy.
So Rong Zhuo, who didn't need any aromatherapy, took a quick bath and lay down on the bed before the princess returned to the West Garden.
When Chu Sishui dried her hair and returned to Xiyuan, she saw Rong Zhuo lying on the bed, "I haven't eaten yet, why do you want to rest now?"
After saying that, she pulled him and said, "Eat first and then take a nap. You blame me, but you don't take care of your health..."
"ah……"
Chu Sishui fell into his arms. They had been married for more than half a year, so how could she not know what he meant? Thinking that Rong Zhuo, who didn't need aromatherapy just now, came in to get something, she suddenly felt embarrassed, "You... why are you so obscene now?"
Rong Zhuo didn't want to pretend anymore. Since the princess said he was vulgar, then so be it. Now that he had this name, he would let her see what real vulgarity was.
The two were so absorbed in love that they didn't even bother to eat.
After finishing the work, the food in the kitchen was reheated.
Lu He was puzzled as to why the two of them had just finished taking a bath and now they wanted to take a bath again. I didn't see any dirt on the two of them when they were riding horses.
When Chu Sishui finally finished washing, Lu He came over and asked, "Miss, do you want to wash again? Don't wash again later. Although it's hot now, it's easy to catch a cold if you wash back and forth."
Chu Sishui glared at Rong Zhuo who was prone to catching colds. "No need to wash, it's already healed. Bring us the food."
So Rong Zhuo, who was prone to catching colds, ate two large bowls of rice for the first time. Fei Jian asked if the dishes suited his master's taste.
Rong Zhuo, "I feel quite tired today."
Fei Jian: Yes, the master has been riding horses with the princess all morning today. It really puts a lot of pressure on the waist and abdomen. How can he not be tired?
Thinking of this, he added another bowl of soup for his master.
Rong Zhuo drank it without even raising his eyebrows.
Chu Sishui couldn't bear to look at that person at all.

The people of Jinxiao City were originally discussing His Royal Highness Prince Duan, but now they were stunned by the wedding procession of His Royal Highness Prince Jing.
"As expected of His Majesty's beloved son, the Ministry of Rites has opened the way for him. Apart from His Majesty Prince Rui last time, only His Majesty Prince Jing has this blessing."
"Of course not. After all, the one we are marrying this time is the daughter of General He. How can we feel wronged? But it is strange why she was only given the position of concubine."
"I heard from my uncle's son who is a distant relative and an official in the court that Concubine Xiao originally had a girl betrothed to His Royal Highness Prince Jing, but later that girl died. The royal family had some taboos, so they made He Taiwei's daughter a concubine first, and then promoted her to the main wife after two years. It was just an injustice in name only."
"No wonder, this wedding is so grand. I heard that the Ministry of Rites was almost drained of its money, so it borrowed a large sum from the Ministry of Revenue. Now the Second Prince is trying to collect national debts, and these two brothers have run into each other..."
