Chapter 170 The Strange Xu Family
Reading Settings
The excessive enthusiasm of the Xu family elders made Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi feel a little strange.
After lunch, Xu Manwu took Xiao Yanzi to teach her a few martial arts moves, while Yongqi watched from the side.
Although Xiao Yanzi was instructing Xu Manwu, she still spared a moment to glance at Yongqi, and just then she saw Xu Mandie slowly approaching Yongqi. "Young master, is Madam's martial arts very good?"
Yongqi noticed someone approaching, so he took a few steps back, then looked at Xiaoyanzi again, "She doesn't like other women getting too close to me!"
"It was my rudeness," Xu Mandie quickly admitted, keeping her distance.
Just when everyone thought Yongqi wouldn't say anything more, he looked at Xiaoyanzi and slowly said, "When she was little, I taught her martial arts by hand. But later, during the years she left me, she learned martial arts from her master for several years. Now, I am no match for her."
Upon hearing this, Xu Mandie couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm afraid the young master can't bear to let the madam lose, can he?"
Deep down, she didn't want to believe that Xiao Yanzi's martial arts skills were superior to Yongqi's.
Yongqi stopped answering and continued to stare at his wife.
Tianfeng stayed by his side to prevent Yongqi from getting too obsessed with his wife and not realizing that someone was too close to him, which would make Xiaoyanzi jealous...
Seeing this, Xu Mandie said nothing more.
They didn't leave the Xu family until Xu Manwu had learned the few tricks that Xiao Yanzi had taught her.
After getting into the carriage, Xiao Yanzi felt very strange. "They kept us here just to give us a meal and then teach Xu Manwu a few moves?"
She found it all very strange! She had originally thought that Xu Die would take the opportunity to seduce Yongqi, and she was even thinking that if that Xu Die made a move, she would take the opportunity to teach her a lesson and make that woman remember that not just anyone could be targeted!
Who would have thought that the woman would do nothing and just let them leave!
"Tianfeng, send someone to investigate!" If there's anything strange, there will definitely be clues.
Then, Yongqi hugged Xiaoyanzi in his arms, pinched her chin, and looked down at her, "It seems we can't go to the flower field today."
"It's a promise, I'm the master today!" Little Swallow said softly, her arms wrapped around his neck, their foreheads touching.
Yongqi smiled and said, "Okay, Master, I'll be waiting for you."
Then, he kissed her lips, kissing her so passionately that she became dizzy and disoriented, losing all sense of time and place...
"Master, we've arrived at Bibo Courtyard." Tianfeng's voice rang out from outside the carriage, but Xiaoyanzi was already aroused, and naturally, she couldn't let anyone see her like this.
Yongqi picked up Xiaoyanzi, and Xiaoyanzi buried her face in his chest, while the people of Biboting had already obediently dispersed.
When Yongqi carried Xiaoyanzi to the top of the stairs, Xiaoyanzi couldn't resist getting off him and kissing his lips.
-------------------------------------
Revised version:
Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi fooled around all the way down the stairs to their room, but this time, it was Xiaoyanzi who took the lead.
"Yongqi, don't you think this is inappropriate?"
Yongqi smiled and said, "As long as I can be with you, what's inappropriate?"
Besides, they are married now. As a married couple, whatever they do is appropriate!
Besides, he was happy to stay down there. Of course, it was just a fleeting thought, since Little Swallow had quite a few tricks up her sleeve to torture him, and he might not be able to withstand them!
"Little Swallow..."
"What should you call me?" This time, it was Little Swallow who posed the soul-searching question.
Yongqi smiled helplessly, "Madam..."
"If you scream nicely, I'll let you off the hook!"
Xiao Yanzi's words left Yongqi dumbfounded. How could he possibly call her that in a more pleasant way?
Little Swallow looked at him slyly, "Isn't this what you always tell me? What, you can't do it?"
Normally, Yongqi would only be satisfied after she called him countless times.
Now, on the other hand, why are they unwilling?
"Of course not, calling your name is something I dream about!"
"Little Swallow." This was what he called out when he first saw Little Swallow after his rebirth. It was a mixture of surprise, delight, and relief.
"Little Swallow." This is what he called out to her because he knew about the injuries and dangers she had suffered during those years of wandering.
"Little Swallow!" This was Yongqi's joyful cry for Little Swallow when he confirmed that she was willing to marry him and that Qianlong had chosen their wedding date.
"Little Swallow." This is what Yongqi called out to Little Swallow when he was moved by love.
(As for the different ways Yongqi calls Xiaoyanzi, use your imagination to imagine them! I can't capture that feeling in words!)
-------------------------------------
When they returned to the palace, Xiao Yanzi was already asleep in Yongqi's arms.
When Consort Yu saw the two of them return, one of them was energetic and the other was asleep, and the sleeping one even had a hickey on his neck, she was a little annoyed. She glanced at Yongqi and said, "Put Xiaoyanzi back. You come here."
She had to have a serious talk with him. Even if they wanted to do *that*, there had to be a time limit, and they had to be more restrained!
Yongqi carried Xiaoyanzi back to her room and let her rest in bed before going to Consort Yu's room.
“Mother.” Yongqi stood respectfully at the lower end.
Only he and Consort Yu remained in the room. Consort Yu spoke first, "Yongqi, you should know what your mother wants to tell you, right?"
"Your father and the Empress Dowager have both given you some advice, so don't take it lightly!"
Yongqi said weakly, "Mother, I've been a celibate for almost a year, and this is my first time..."
After Xiao Yanzi became pregnant, he couldn't eat;
After Xiao Yanzi gave birth, she needed to recover her health first, so she couldn't eat.
Now that he's finally able to eat meat, he still has to get nagged by his own mother. He must feel so wronged!
"Look how exhausted Little Swallow is! And look at your own neck! Is this something to be proud of?"
"Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about Xiao Yanzi. Do you want others to think that Xiao Yanzi is the reincarnation of Daji?"
Yongqi frowned and said, "Xiao Yanzi is not like that. Her martial arts and medical skills are now better than mine. Moreover, she was the one who handled the Hui people's affairs. She was the one who made the Hui people willingly submit to her. The matter that had been giving Father Emperor a headache for so long was quietly resolved by Xiao Yanzi. Who in the entire court has Xiao Yanzi's abilities?"
"Little Swallow is capable of governing the country with both literary and martial skills. Those civil officials dare to say anything nonsense, so let's send them to the battlefield and talk about it there!"
Consort Yu said irritably, "You make it sound so good, but can you really do it? Even if you can, those officials in the court represent not just themselves, but their families. Can you really teach them all a lesson?"
She paused, then continued, "I know that you and Xiao Yanzi are much more capable than before, but that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. There are countless people watching you, both inside and outside the palace..."
Yongqi couldn't help but interrupt Consort Yu, "Mother, don't worry, everything is under my control, so no one will take this opportunity to cause trouble!"
"Have you heard anything about the people who have been targeting you all this time?"
"Do you know if you and Xiao Yanzi have been poisoned with some unknown substance?"
Consort Yu's words silenced Yongqi. "Mother, I..."
