Xiao Zeyu told Su Qing about Qin Tie. When he had taken down the capital, he had ordered his men to search the Imperial Palace and the Wan Clan Army’s barracks from top to bottom, but they hadn’t found a single mortar.

This was entirely out of Xiao Zeyu’s expectations. If Qin Tie had already submitted to Wan Yulin, why didn’t he help him make the mortar?

Su Qing also had this suspicion in her heart, but once disloyal, she would never use him. Since Qin Tie could betray them once, there would be a second time. Therefore, no matter how capable Qin Tie was, she did not want to use him again.

“Let me study it.”

Su Qing didn’t want to rely on anyone else. She was not relying on mountains and rivers. She would instead rely on herself than anyone else!

“It’s better if you don’t get too tired. I can mobilize the fis.h.i.+ng boats of the fishermen by the sea.”

Xiao Zeyu was worried that Su Qing would be too tired, so he didn’t allow her to get involved.

Su Qing didn’t answer. It was useless for anyone to stop her when she had decided on something.

Only by leveling up would she be eligible for rewards. Now, she still had forging, herb-picking, planting, weaving, and mining to level up. Among them, herb-picking and planting would level up faster.

Su Qing decided to pick herbs. Picking herbs required going into the mountains. There were a few mountains around the capital, and the highest mountain was called w.a.n.gfu Ridge. Because the forest was dense and there were many wild animals, there were few people. There should be many precious herbs in the valley.

Xiao Zeyu didn’t know that Su Qing wanted to go into the mountains to pick herbs. Seeing it was already late at night, he called for the palace maids to prepare hot water for Su Qing to bathe in. There was a pool in the palace. When Emperor Yongqi was in power, he built this pool because of his evil. He wanted to play with the concubines.

Wan Shengchang, the old thief, was a frequent visitor here when he was the emperor. On the contrary, Wan Yulin was not fond of women. When he was in power, Hua Chi was sealed.

Xiao Zeyu had heard about the happening at the Hua Chi. Since there was such a good place, he had to give it to Qing’er. He ordered people to clean it and scatter flower petals. Today, he wanted to bring Su Qing to enjoy it.

Su Qing didn’t know about Hua Chi. She was busy farming in all the palaces that she hadn’t to a few palaces. The main reason was that there wasn’t enough sunlight, and she was afraid the harvest wouldn’t be good, so she didn’t go. “Qing’er, let me take you to a place.”

Xiao Zeyu ordered the palace maids to go and prepare. He smiled and told Su Qing that ever since he found out that Qing’er was pregnant, he had become a monk. It was a dangerous period not to be able to have s.e.x for three months. Now that Qing’er was already four months pregnant, she should be able to do it.

He couldn’t wait any longer. After all, he was a man full of vigor. He had been holding it in for two months and was too energetic. If he didn’t relieve himself, he would explode.

“What place?”

Su Qing was too busy thinking about picking herbs the next day. Seeing Xiao Zeyu’s mysterious look, she felt it was interesting and asked him.

“A good place.”

Xiao Zeyu’s smile was very sly. Su Qing frowned and looked at him,

“You’re trying to curry favor for nothing.”

“You’re either a traitor or a thief, right?”

Xiao Zeyu was in a good mood. No matter what Su Qing said, he wouldn’t get angry. Beating or scolding was love, as long as Qing’er didn’t throw a tantrum at him.

Su Qing couldn’t help but laugh when she saw Xiao Zeyu’s shameless appearance.

“How do you look like the emperor now?”

“In front of you, I’m just a husband.”

Xiao Zeyu’s eyes were gentle, and his voice was warm as the spring breeze. His affectionate words tugged at Su Qing’s heart.

That s right, he was only her man, and his ident.i.ty was nothing to her.

Xiao Zeyu held Su Qing’s hand the entire way, giving her endless love. He no longer had the dignity he had in the throne room during the day and was just a caring husband.

The Hall of Huachi was located in the northwest corner of the Forbidden City. There were parasol trees planted in the courtyard and a small pond. In the pond, there were tiny red koi fish. The ground was paved with bluestone. There was a huge copper jar in the middle of the courtyard, filled with water.

Su Qing stopped in her tracks when she saw this courtyard. She had come here when she was farming, but she did not touch this courtyard because she felt that the parasol tree blocked the sunlight.

“Qing’er, come in and take a look.”

Xiao Zeyu smiled when he saw Su Qing sizing up the Magnificent Pool Hall. He took her hand and walked into the courtyard. There were already eunuchs and palace maids waiting in the courtyard. When they saw Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu enter, they all knelt.

“Rise.”

Xiao Zeyu waved his hand, gesturing for these people to stand and move to the side. He then brought Su Qing into the Magnificent Pool Hall.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the fog. The temperature in the hall was much higher than outside, and the fragrance of flowers floated into Su Qing’s breath.

Su Qing looked around the hall. The carved beams and painted pillars were extremely luxurious, but there was only a sizeable rocking bed and a table by the window in the room. A vast screen blocked most of the palace. She was very curious about what was behind the screen.

It was Xiao Zeyu’s first time here as well. He was a little excited when he thought about how he could play with Qing’er in the water. He held Su Qing’s soft hand and walked behind the screen.

The two of them walked past the screen and saw a huge pool. The pool was steaming hot, and the water was covered with red petals. It was like a fairyland. Xiao Zeyu smiled and asked Su Qing,

“Qing’er, what do you think of this bathtub?”

“You built this?”

Su Qing asked first. Xiao Zeyu shook his head,

How can I be so extravagant? The previous dynasty left this behind. I’d ordered people to clean it up, and we’ll sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor.”

“Sit back and enjoy the fruits of others’ labor?”

Su Qing squatted down and touched the water in the pool. The water temperature was just right. It was much more comfortable than taking a bath in a bathtub. It was big enough to swim in.

Yes, Qing’er. Your husband will help you undress.”

Xiao Zeyu’s eyes were already burning. He first took off his dragon robe and walked to Su Qing’s side in his white underwear to help her undress.

His hair fell casually, and his handsome face was either red from the steam or from Yu w.a.n.g. He looked masculine and enchanting.

Mainly, when his deep eyes were focused on Su Qing, the flames in his eyes seemed to burn the two of them up. The smile in his eyes was a little more evil, and the comers of his mouth were slightly raised with a touch of a heart-stirring smile.

Su Qing looked at the bewitching Xiao Zeyu. This was the first time she had seen him like this.

Su Qing felt her blood rush up, her cheeks burning, and her heart racing uncontrollably. She pursed her lips and looked up at Xiao Zeyu, who was helping her undress. He looked very anxious and wanted to tear her clothes apart, but he was still holding himself back. He was sweating profusely, and the hair on his forehead was drenched in sweat.

His handsome features, smooth facial lines, thick eyebrows, mesmerizing eyes, and thin red lips were all reflected in Su Qing’s velvet eyes. Her cheeks became hotter and hotter.

Xiao Zeyu finally managed to remove Su Qing’s clothes. Why was this light gauze dress so challenging to understand?

“What material is this?”

Xiao Zeyu couldn’t help but ask.

“Silk. I plan to develop silkworm breeding in areas with mulberry leaves vigorously and set up silkworm workshops so that the local women can have jobs to make this kind of silk clothing and export it to other countries to earn money from their princes and ministers.”

Su Qing took out a silkworm. Xiao Zeyu recognized it. Wasn’t this the kind of worm his sister raised on the road? At that time, Su Qing had said that this thing could be eaten and produce silk. So, the silk produced by this insect was so beautiful?

Qing er, you truly are an endless treasure trove.”

Xiao Zeyu held Su Qing’s hand and looked at her tiny face as bright as a peach blossom. Her small lips were as red as a cherry, and her pair of eyes slowly looked down as she lowered her head..
