The Hot Spring Palace is only a hundred miles away from the capital. It was the emperor's favorite place to come in winter to soak in the hot springs and relieve fatigue.
If Chief Minister Shen hadn’t mentioned taking a hot spring bath this year, the emperor would have almost forgotten about this place.
The main reason was that he had left the capital several times this year, especially to climb Mount Tai. The emperor was so tired that he didn't want to leave the capital.
It’s okay to soak in the hot springs. It’s only about a hundred miles away and you can get there in a day.
Before dark, we successfully checked into the hot spring annex.
The emperor brought Concubine Jing, Concubine Jiang, and the thirteenth prince.
If it weren't for bringing Yan Bao with him, the Thirteenth Prince wouldn't have come.
Concubine Jing is honored because of her son. Now that the Thirteenth Prince is here, how can Concubine Jing not come? Who will take care of the child for her?
Since the Thirteenth Prince was given to Concubine Jing to raise, there must be some benefits. Let those concubines who refused to raise the Thirteenth Prince see what they missed?
Indeed, those concubines who had politely declined the Thirteenth Prince were now gritting their teeth. If they knew that raising the Thirteenth Prince would have so many benefits, they would be willing to do it even if they were stupid.
Unfortunately, it’s too late to regret.
Yan Bao took a carriage for a whole day and arrived at the Hot Spring Palace. They were arranged in the outer palace, which had a special place for ministers to rest, as well as a hot spring pool, all of which were fed with water from the hot spring outlet.
The real hot spring pool is in the palace.
It's pretty good that they can catch some bubbles.
As soon as Yan Bao arrived at the other palace, he couldn't wait to take a hot spring bath. Madam Shen had no choice but to take Yan Bao with him. Looking at Yan Bao's little arms and legs, swimming in the water like a nimble frog, Madam Shen was stunned.
"Yan Bao is amazing, he can actually swim." Mrs. Shen is still very afraid of water, but fortunately this pool is not deep, so she is not afraid.
[Oops, is the truth exposed?] Yan Bao was so proud that he almost forgot.
Madam Shen pretended not to hear her inner voice and continued to praise: “Yan Bao is so smart, he was born to swim!”
Yan Bao smiled triumphantly: [Luckily my mother didn't suspect anything, it was a close call!]
The crisis was over, and Yan Bao swam and bathed without worry. He even rubbed Madam Shen's back, leaving streaks of ash on her body. Madam Shen was stunned: "This... is this on me?"
Yan Bao nodded with a sense of accomplishment: "You've never seen it before, right? I can tell it hasn't been properly bathed. If you're willing to rub it, there's definitely dust on it, and you can even polish it!"
Mrs. Shen didn't expect her to be so dirty. She had obviously taken a good shower!
After taking a hot spring bath, I realized that just washing is useless. You have to soak it thoroughly and then rub it with milk. Yan Bao rubbed her mother for a while, but she ran out of strength, so she asked the nanny to come.
We are all women, don't be embarrassed.
Yan Bao had soaked enough and asked Zi Yun to rub her a few times. Zi Yun looked at the streaks of ash that looked like earthworms and was shocked: "Is there any on me too?"
Yan Bao nodded: [Wait, when it's your turn, I'll rub it for you.]
Ziyun worked even harder.
On Shen Shoufu's side, he waited and waited until he was almost asleep, but the people taking the hot spring bath still hadn't come out.
I don’t know how long it took, when they came out one by one after soaking, I don’t know if it was Shen Shoufu’s illusion, but I always felt that the lady tonight was not only clear and beautiful, but also had a rosy little face and was extremely charming.
"Why did you soak for so long? Isn't it said that you can't soak in hot springs for too long?"
Yan Bao laughed in his heart: "You'll know later, Daddy. The hot spring is so good, you must soak in it for a while!"
Madam Shen thought that when Chief Minister Shen was taking a hot spring bath, she would also go and help rub the dust.
Who knows how much dust he has on him? It must be more than mine.
Just as she was thinking, Yan Bao suddenly grabbed Madam Shen's hand and said, "Mom, you can't sleep with Dad tonight. If you do that tonight, you'll die."
Shen Shoufu raised his eyebrows slightly, startled.
What, is dad poisonous?
Madam Shen’s expression changed slightly, she looked at Yan Bao and asked, “What’s wrong with Yan Bao?”
Yan Bao deliberately acted coquettishly and hugged Madam Shen, writing in her hand: “Mother, sleep with me at night, I’m afraid!”
[No way, I'm doing this to save you, Mom!]
Mrs. Shen was panicked: “…”
Yanbao, tell me quickly, what will happen tonight?
Is this what mom thinks?
“Okay, Mom will wait until you fall asleep before leaving.” Madam Shen used a trick on Yan Bao to make her anxious and let her reveal more information in her heart.
Yan Bao shook his head: "No, Mommy and Daddy have to sleep separately, otherwise Daddy won't be able to control himself and cause Mommy to have an ectopic pregnancy. Do you know what an ectopic pregnancy is? It's when the baby is in the fallopian tube. As it grows, you'll be in danger and will bleed profusely. You won't be able to keep the baby, and neither will you."
"If it were over there, it would be okay. I could have cut off one side to save my life. But in this era, that's not possible. Even if my sister-in-law is a good doctor, she can't save you. Mother, you can't take any risks!"
Mrs. Shen was confused by what she heard, but she still grasped the key point and knew that if she had sex with her husband tonight, she might get pregnant, and if the pregnancy was not good, it would be fatal.
Chief Minister Shen had almost moved away from Madam Shen after hearing this.
Mrs. Shen didn't need to say that even if he never touched a woman in his life, he would not touch her tonight.
Just as he finished thinking, Yan Bao's inner voice started to ring again: [How can I get my mother to stay with me for five, six, seven, or eight days? You know, we can't have sex for the next few years, it's risky!]
Shen Shoufu: “…”
Madam Shen looked at Chief Minister Shen quietly. She was fine, but she didn’t know if he could bear it.
Chief Minister Shen noticed his wife's gaze, and he gave her a soothing look, indicating that he would not let her get hurt.
"You are so reluctant to leave your mother, so let your mother accompany you more during this period. Dad has some things to deal with, so I will lend your mother to you for a few days." Shen Shoufu didn't want to make things difficult for his daughter, knowing that she was doing it for the good of her parents.
