After knowing that Xie Zhinan had left with Li Wan'er, Chen Shurong had people prepare a palace banquet, which was only attended by family members, to make it lively.
Before the banquet started, several elders gathered together. The young people were busy, so they were now responsible for looking after the children.
It is easy for a three-year-old to bully a two-and-a-half-year-old. Xie Zhiyi likes to bully Shen Zhilan, either by pushing him down or snatching his toys.
Shen Zhilan is still fatter than his brother and sister, not as agile as them, and always calls his sister for help.
Shen Zhixi really protected him and showed no mercy to Xie Zhiyi, either pulling his hair or tearing his clothes.
"Sister, I am the one who is closest to you." Xie Zhiyi covered his head, blaming her for not distinguishing between close and distant.
"Brother Alan and I have the same last name." Shen Zhixi retorted righteously.
Whenever the Duke heard Shen Zhixi say his surname was Chen, he would glare at the old tutor.
But the old tutor smiled and said that it would be better if everyone had the surname Chen.
Before the banquet began, Xie Yunzhao helped Shen Shurong into the hall.
The Princess of the County is now the Princess of the Xuan. She looked at her daughter's bulging belly and felt distressed again: "My Lady, you should also take care of your health. Why are you so busy until this hour?"
"Don't worry, mother-in-law. I was the one who was busy the whole time. She was sleeping beside me and just woke up." Xie Yunzhao explained for her.
Shen Shurong pinched him, it would be better not to explain.
"Why don't you sleep well in the bedroom?"
"She said she can't live without me." Xie Yunzhao grinned, earning a roll of the eyes from his father-in-law and the old tutor.
The lady smiled and said, "They have a really good relationship."
"They have been playing together since they were young. So many years have passed and they now have three children." The eldest princess thought of how they often played together in the princess's mansion when they were young.
The lady also remembered something and said with a smile, "Yun Zhao came back from your house several times with small tooth marks on his hands. I asked him who bit him, but he refused to tell me and just laughed foolishly at the tooth marks. Now that I think about it, it must have been the lady who bit him."
Everyone burst into laughter, but Chen Shurong looked at Xie Yunzhao curiously.
Xie Yunzhao avoided her sight. He couldn't let her know that he had such thoughts at such a young age.
"They can be considered childhood sweethearts."
"Yes, it would be better if this continues for a long time."
The family was chatting happily. Chen Shurong pursed her lips and looked at Xie Yunzhao who ran to coax the child. Why was he shy?
At night, the number of people serving the two emperors doubled, but Xie Yunzhao still treated them as decoration. He first went to the children's room, made sure that both children were asleep, and then went back to serve his wife personally.
After bathing, Shen Shurong lay on his legs covered with a towel, tilting her head back so that she could see his handsome face.
Xie Yunzhao liked to stroke her long hair the most, and every strand held in his hands seemed to be able to entangle his heart.
The towel in my hand slowly absorbs the moisture from my hair, and my mind drifts back to my childhood.
"Madam, how much do you remember about our childhood?"
"As for me, I remember everything." Chen Shurong was not exaggerating at all. In the two years since she was rescued by him in her previous life, she often recalled every little detail of their time together.
Xie Yunzhao wiped one strand of hair dry, then switched to another and continued wiping, repeating this action for several years.
"I remember that when we were kids, you loved playing with me the most."
Shen Shurong nodded, this is a fact and he does not deny it.
I reached out and touched his lips. What on earth was he going to say?
"Then you..." Xie Yunzhao looked away again. Xie Yunzheng was dead, so even if she lied to him, he still wanted to listen.
Meeting her gaze, he no longer avoided it: "When did you fall in love with me? Was it after we got engaged? Or after we got married?"
Chen Shurong smiled secretly, it turned out that he was struggling with this.
"Can't it be before the engagement?" she asked.
Xie Yunzhao stopped moving his hands. Before the engagement, wasn’t she Xie Yunzheng’s fiancée?
Also, they got engaged because he rescued her from the water.
That being said...
His eyes suddenly became hot. Could it be that she had liked him for a long time?
He helped her sit up and stared into her eyes. Her lips opened and closed, and there were little stars in her eyes.
But then he lowered his head timidly. If he asked no, wouldn't it reveal that he coveted her?
Shen Shurong's tender hand gently touched the corner of his eyes. Why are you feeling wronged again?
"Before the engagement."
Xie Yunzhao looked up suddenly. Her words were affirmative.
What she meant was that during the time when she and Xie Yun were fighting for the engagement, not only did she covet her future sister-in-law, but she also simply regarded herself as her future brother-in-law, right?
I hugged her tightly in my arms and kissed her lips and tongue hard, and it was like fireworks going off in my head.
She also likes me, and if I hadn't lost my position as crown prince, she would be willing to marry me.
Did she always like me, but only turned her attention to Xie Yunzheng because her engagement changed?
Shen Shurong secretly thought that this was not good, he was going crazy again, so he held down his flailing hands, trying to steady him.
The man didn't care about anything at this moment. The happiness as surging as the sea poured into his brain and heart, leaving him no time to think. The only thing in his mind was that she had always liked him.
He held her face with both hands and kissed her urgently and fiercely. Shen Shurong's lips were numb from the kisses. He finally had a chance to say two words: "Baby~Baby."
The man finally came to his senses, loosened his mouth but did not let go of her hand. He pressed his hand against her forehead, breathing continuously, and gradually calmed himself down.
"Rongrong, I...have liked you ever since I knew I was engaged to you... I like you very much." His voice was hoarse and he was choked with sobs.
"But I lost the title of Crown Prince. I thought that for the sake of Duke Lu's Mansion, I would let Xie Yun compete to become the Crown Prince, and that would satisfy my father's wish to continue his glory. I didn't expect to lose you."
Chen Shurong raised her hand and touched the tears that slid down his cheek: "It's all in the past. We didn't miss it. We're married, right? We're together now, and we have children. We're not separated."
"No, it's my fault. It's all my fault. I thought I had lost you in this life. I thought I would call you sister-in-law for the rest of my life. It was because you fell into the water that I was saved. If you hadn't fallen into the water, we would have missed this life."
"Please hit me, Rongrong. It's all my fault. I will never lose you again."
He held her hand and hit himself. Shen Shurong saw his tears flowing from his eyes and hugged him distressedly: "No, we will never separate again."
"No one can separate us!"
There was no laughter in the bedroom today, but rather two people who loved each other deeply, talking to each other from the bottom of their hearts.
When the emotion subsided, the man kissed her again and said, Rongrong was right, they would never be separated.
As they were kissing, he suddenly remembered something.
She stopped and stared at Chen Shurong, crying and asked: "So, you deliberately fell into the water, deliberately let me rescue you, deliberately held me and didn't let go, and deliberately lost your innocence to me?"
Shen Shurong's face turned red, and she nestled into his arms. How could he have thought of this?
So embarrassing!
