Su Wanwan had no choice but to sit up and help him undress.
When traveling in the summer, dust and sweat are inevitable.
This version of Lu Xingjian has lost some of his aloof and mysterious aura, and is more approachable, not much different from an ordinary man.
Seeing that Su Wanwan wrinkled her nose slightly, Lu Xingjian knew she was a clean person, so he ruffled her hair.
"You go to sleep first, I'll go wash up."
He returned in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, his body steaming with sweat, and immediately pinned Su Wanwan down beneath him.
"You're pregnant, you can't come," Su Wanwan quickly stopped him.
She knew that when he said he would stay with her, he probably meant he was thinking about that matter.
"I've consulted the imperial physician, don't be afraid." The man's breathing was heavy, clearly indicating that he had reached his limit.
Men have a lot of tricks up their sleeves, things Su Wanwan had never experienced before.
As he buried his face in her shoulder and breathed slowly and evenly, he murmured sweet nothings:
"Wanwan, you smell so good. I can't resist your scent."
Su Wanwan frowned, and after holding back for a long time, she finally decided to ask, "Where did you learn all these tricks from?"
The man smiled and kissed the tip of her nose, his tone filled with affection:
"Whose jealous little devil is never going to stop?"
"Why can't I learn by myself?"
Su Wanwan was speechless.
Perhaps she was too sensitive, or perhaps he was too good at pretending.
Instead of dwelling on these matters, she brought up the frequent visits of the wives of the Earl of Jingyuan, the Marquis of Huichang, and the Marquis of Funing.
"They also gave me a lot of things. How should I return them?"
Lu Xingjian absentmindedly touched her waist, raising an eyebrow and saying:
"You want to get them official positions?"
Su Wanwan looked at him frankly: "They mean that."
Lu Xingjian thought about it seriously for a while, then frowned slightly. "Let's talk about this later."
"Emperor Taizu established an ancestral precept that the empress dowager must not interfere in politics."
"Just focus on your pregnancy and don't worry about the affairs of the previous dynasty."
These words were like a slap in the face, landing hard on Su Wanwan's cheek.
He was indeed on guard against her.
Even in this relaxed moment after intimacy, they remain highly vigilant.
Su Wanwan felt extremely heavy-hearted.
Lu Xingjian kissed her again as if nothing had happened, holding her tightly in his arms.
Su Wanwan felt that his embrace was too hot, making it somewhat unbearable for her.
She decided to get up and sit on the tatami mat in the outer room for a while to cool off.
My thoughts were a jumbled mess, I couldn't find a way out.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Xingjian came over with his eyes half-closed, picked her up without saying a word, and carried her to the bedroom.
"Are you always this restless when you sleep?"
He put her on the bed, yawned, and snuggled close to her as he lay down: "Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll spend every day with you, sweetie."
Su Wanwan stared at his sleeping profile, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
When Su Wanwan woke up, the man was already gone.
He Ying brought over several sets of clothes and said with a smile:
"The Bureau of Needlework sent several sets of new clothes to the Empress, saying that the Emperor had specially ordered them."
"Why don't you give it a try?"
Su Wanwan's gaze fell on the rubies embedded in the dress. "Are these the ones I made for Maggie before?"
These clothes are very revealing and sexy.
Her clothing style, both inside and out, was distinctly Maggie's, quite different from Su Wanwan's usual style.
He Ying was a little embarrassed and quickly had someone take the clothes away.
...
Meiyanlou was a restaurant under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Household Department. It was a grand building with a high foundation and double eaves. It was always full of distinguished guests, who were drinking and chatting.
Inside the lobby, graceful dancers sang and danced, accompanied by the continuous sounds of string and wind instruments.
This is what they mean by decadent luxury and debauchery.
Su Wanwan waved a folding fan, dressed in a loose-fitting straight robe with a palace sash around her waist. A large black veil on her head covered most of her face, making it impossible to tell whether she was male or female.
He walked with a leisurely and unhurried gait; judging from his back, he seemed to be a noble young master from a prominent family.
He Ying was still dressed as a maid, and when she saw Su Wanwan's appearance, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Su Wanwan gently tapped her forehead with her folding fan, a half-smile on her face. "What, you want to repay me with your body? Lead the way."
He Ying winked: "Young master is so handsome, I wish to entrust my life to him."
Su Wanwan paused for a moment, then saw a portly man carrying a petite beauty up the stairs. She simply put her arm around He Ying's shoulder and started imitating the old lecher's mannerisms.
Su Wanwan was tall, half a head taller than He Ying, and they really did look like a dashing young master and a petite maid.
As soon as the two women went up the stairs, they saw a young man not far away leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, looking at them with a sneer.
He Ying shrank back a little, feeling a bit awkward, so Su Wanwan let go of her and walked into the private room behind the man without looking at him.
The young man was Liu Qi.
As He Ying brushed past him, he gave a half-smile: "Mandarin Duck Servant?"
He Ying, confused, turned to look at him. "What?"
Liu Qi turned around lazily, giving her a meaningful look.
"You two are more than just master and servant, aren't you?"
He Ying was puzzled by his gaze.
That look was lewd.
Did he think, did he think?
Suddenly, He Ying thought of something, and her face immediately turned bright red with embarrassment.
She glared at Liu Qi's retreating figure: "Disgusting!"
Liu Qi sat down opposite Su Wanwan with a swagger, picked up the teapot and poured tea. His movements were swift and efficient, quite a sight to behold.
"No, I am charming but not vulgar. A single word makes all the difference."
Warm the teacup, lift the teacup, add tea, shake to release the aroma, pour from a high position, skim off the foam, turn the lid, then lift the teacup upside down to clean the tea pet, pour from a high position again to release the aroma, and then display the teacup.
