Zheng Xiu asked Xue Zhi about the snake venom after he came back injured while saving the prince.
He played it off and said that the imperial physician cured her when he treated her.
Zheng Xiu was relieved and didn't think about it anymore.
Unexpectedly, Xue Zhi was fine. Zheng Xiu glared at him hatefully.
Xue Zhi coughed lightly and turned away, changing the subject: "By the way, Ah Xiu, who came in to make the bed when we were having dinner?"
"There are only three maids in our room, it must have been one of them."
Xue Zhi sighed again, and said, "I don't know if it was taken to wash, what a pity. That's your..."
Zheng Xiu quickly covered his mouth, blushing and scolded: "Shut up! Don't say it!"
Xue Zhi stuck out his tongue and licked her palm twice. Zheng Xiu screamed again and retracted her hand.
Fearing that she would be upset, Xue Zhi hugged her and coaxed her in a pleading way: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything, go to sleep."
Zheng Xiu closed her eyes in his arms, and soon she really felt sleepy. She vaguely felt Xue Zhi kissing her forehead again and again...
Xue Zhi had an orgasm in the evening. He was relieved after holding it in for so long. He was a little tired, but he couldn't bear to fall asleep. Today his Ah Xiu was completely his. This feeling was so wonderful and satisfying. He was afraid that if he fell asleep, all this would be a beautiful dream.
He hugged her, kissing her forehead gently from time to time, and stayed like this all night until dawn.
When it was almost dawn, he got up quietly to go to court.
Zheng Xiu slept soundly and was not woken up. When she woke up, Xue Zhi had been gone for a long time.
Zheng Xiu stretched her waist contentedly and stood up. Minghui, Fen Ge and Fen Ge came in with hot water.
After Zheng Xiu finished washing up, she asked, "What time is it?"
Minghui said, "It's already the end of the morning hour. When the second master left, he told the servants not to wake up the lady, so the servants didn't call you."
Zheng Xiu nodded and asked, "Where is A Shao? Has he gone to the front yard?"
Minghui said, "Yes, the second master came and saw that you didn't get up, so he had breakfast and went to the front."
Zheng Xiu had a rare sleep and a good appetite. Baizhu put the breakfast on the table, and she drank two bowls of porridge with snacks before putting down her bowl and chopsticks.
The room had just been cleaned up, and Zheng Xiu was about to start playing chess with the chess manual.
A little maid outside came in and said, "Sister Qiu Rui is here, and she wants to see you."
Zheng Xiu put down the chess manual and said, "Let her in quickly."
After Qiu Rui came in, she bowed to Zheng Xiu and said, "Second Madam, the princess asked why you didn't go there today, so she asked me to come and see if you were unhappy."
Zheng Xiu was not unhappy, and Qiu Rui was just delivering a message for Princess Guihe. But when Zheng Xiu heard that, she felt strange. Princess Guihe gave the medicine and asked this question again... It was really embarrassing.
She smiled and said, "Princess Lao is worried about me. I am fine. I just got up a little late."
Qiu Rui nodded, bowed, and said, "Then I will go back to Changfeng Garden to report."
After she left, Zheng Xiu let out a long sigh. Princess Guihe was really worried about her giving birth to a child.
She couldn't go to Changfeng Garden these two days no matter what, and she didn't know what tricks Princess Guihe would play.
She originally wanted to be quiet in Haoye Hall, but at noon, the visiting cards from the Princess of Xinwang and the Princess of Nanrong County arrived.
The three of them agreed to visit more often, so Zheng Xiu naturally let Minghui accept it and began to prepare things for entertaining guests the next day.
Because it was the first time to entertain guests in the Duke of Qing's Mansion, Zheng Xiu didn't know what to prepare for a while, but fortunately Minghui and others were very helpful. Minghui led people to decorate the flower hall. Fen Ge opened the closet and packed clothes for Zheng Xiu to wear for entertaining guests the next day. Bai Shu went to the kitchen to prepare cakes for the next day. Although the identities of the Princess of Xin and the Princess of Nanrong should have seen everything, it was their first time to visit Zheng Xiu. They could not be rude, so they tried their best to make it perfect.
Zheng Xiu went to the flower hall to take a look, acted as a mannequin, and let Fen Ge imitate the clothes on her body, and tasted the cakes made by Bai Shu. A whole day passed in a blink of an eye.
In the evening, Xue Zhi and Xue Shao returned to the backyard one after another. Zheng Xiu had been busy for half the afternoon and just sat down to rest.
Fen Ge had finally matched his clothes and was putting the clothes that had been put out from other stalls into boxes and closets.
Seeing them coming back, Zheng Xiu asked them to sit on the kang and rest for a while, saying that they would have dinner later. Bai Zhu was busy making snacks. He and Zheng Xiu had just finalized the plan not long ago, and just went to the kitchen to serve Hao Yetang's dinner.
The kang table was filled with the fresh cakes that Bai Zhu had made in the afternoon. There were only a few pieces of each, but there were many varieties. Zheng Xiu asked the father and son to eat some cakes first to fill their stomachs.
Xue Shao picked up a piece of Jade Rabbit Cake and looked at it. The white pastry was made into the shape of a little rabbit, which was lifelike. Although it was just an ordinary milk-flavored pastry, it made people reluctant to eat it.
"Mom, why are there so many pastries?"
Zheng Xiu said, "There are two guests coming tomorrow. These are all made by Baizhu this afternoon."
Xue Zhi didn't like sweets, but he was interested in this novel shape and asked, "Who is so generous that we, A Xiu, prepare so many cakes?"
Zheng Xiu also laughed, "Who else could it be? The two sisters, Princess Xin and Princess Nanrong."
"Oh, them." Xue Zhi nodded, "They have a good temper. You don’t necessarily care about this, as long as you have this heart, they will be very useful.”
"From what you said, you two are very familiar with each other?"
Afraid that she would think too much, Xue Zhi immediately clarified: "They have been hanging out with my two bad friends since they were young. I have met them several times when I was a child. Their personalities have not changed over the years."
There are not many aristocratic families, but there are many in-laws. Especially in the upper class, you can get a cousin relationship by making a few connections. In an ordinary family, it is unreasonable for married cousins to hang out too much, but for families like them, it is called family friendship, and the adults all tacitly approve.
Zheng Xiu nodded in understanding.
After talking for a while, Bai Zhu brought back the dinner and placed the rice on the table.
After the family had eaten, Xue Zhi sent Xue Shao back to do his homework.
Xue Shao wanted to play with Zheng Xiu for a while longer, but seeing his father's disapproving look, he went back to his room on his own accord.
As soon as he left, Xue Zhi said, "I'm going to the bathroom to take a shower."
It was rare for him to be so clean. He always took a shower only after Zheng Xiu urged him to before going to bed.
Although Zheng Xiu felt strange, she didn't think much about it and still talked to Minghui about tomorrow's arrangements.
Xue Zhi finished his shower quickly and came out in his underwear.
He glanced at Minghui, who bowed to them very naturally and retreated with the kudzu and white atractylodes.
Zheng Xiu glanced at him and said, "What are you doing? Minghui and I haven't finished talking yet."
Xue Zhi smiled and said, "What can't we talk about tomorrow? Hurry up, I asked someone to leave hot water for you in the bathroom."
He almost carved the words "seeking pleasure" on his forehead.
Zheng Xiu didn't want to move, and said, "I'll wash later."
Xue Zhi walked up to her and pretended to pick her up, "It's okay to wash later. Anyway, my Ah Xiu smells good everywhere, and I don't mind."
Zheng Xiu hurriedly excused herself, "I'd better go wash." Xue Zhi
said, "Then hurry up, don't keep me waiting."
Zheng Xiu blushed, spit at him, and got up to go to the bathroom.
Knowing what was going to happen next, Zheng Xiu took an extra careful bath. She soaped every corner of her body, rinsed it, and applied ointment before going back to the room.
Xue Zhi was already waiting for her on the bed. Seeing that the ends of her hair were wet, he took a dry towel and quickly wiped her hair.
He was usually very careful, but this time he was a little irritable and pulled Zheng Xiu's scalp twice.
Zheng Xiu glared at her back, and he said flatteringly, "Did I hurt you? I'll be gentle, gentle." As he spoke, he really slowed down his movements and rubbed Zheng Xiu's hair on the dry towel quickly, almost rubbing static electricity out of the ends of Zheng Xiu's hair.
Zheng Xiu looked at her messy hair and said helplessly, "You should go back to bed and wait, I will do it myself."
Xue Zhi then went back to bed.
Zheng Xiu combed her hair with a wooden comb made of rhinoceros horn, blew out the gauze lamp on the table, took off her coat and walked to the bed.
As soon as she reached the bed, Xue Zhi reached out and pulled her into his arms. Then he eagerly kissed her on the mouth...
Zheng Xiu turned her head away, and he kissed nothing, and said pitifully: "Good Ah Xiu, I have been holding it in for a long time."
Zheng Xiu spit at him: "What do you mean by long? It's only been one day and you..."
"That's also a long time." Xue Zhi held her and shook her gently, "I had been holding it in for a long, long time before yesterday."
