Chapter 406: Cannon Fodder Substitute & Cold Tyrant 58 (Extra 1)

Xiao Yuan casually threw a piece of silver, led Lin Zhi and continued walking, and the guards far behind immediately caught up.

The riverside was indeed lively. Many people wrote prayer words on lanterns and then put them into the river. Various lotus lanterns with candles lit floated on the water, dotted like stars and were a beautiful sight. There were also pleasure boats in the distance, with sounds of singing and dancing coming from them.

The two of them also bought a lantern, and when they picked up the pen to write their prayers, he refused to show them.

Only after putting it into the river did Linzhi see that on the lotus were written the words "May my wife live in peace forever, and my son be healthy and worry-free". The wish was simple and selfish, without mentioning his world at all.

Xiao Yuan also saw what Lin Zhi wrote in delicate handwriting: "May Xiao Yuan be safe forever."

He curled his lips: "For generations? You are too greedy. I will not live that long. One lifetime is enough." There were people all around them. They were like an ordinary couple at the moment. He looked at the river, but his hand at his side grabbed hers, their fingers interlocked.

Lin Zhi stood beside him, watching the lotus slowly drift to the center of the water: "Your Majesty is also greedy."

The spring nights by the river are cold.

They stood there for a while and then returned to the downtown area. They saw a wine shop on the street and took Lin Zhi in. They went up to the second floor and asked for a private room by the window. They asked the waiter to serve wine and food. Looking at her surprised face, he smiled and said, "Madam, don't you like drinking? Today, your husband will accompany you to drink to your heart's content."

Lin Zhi's cheeks flushed.

I remembered that when she first entered the palace, she fed him wine in order to stop him from playing the zither. I also remembered that when they confessed their identities in the imperial manor, he fed her a lot of wine to punish her...

At this moment, downstairs is bustling with people, living and working in peace and contentment, and the place is bustling with noise. He sits opposite her with a smile on his face, the terrifying mask at his side, and his eyes as he looks at her seem to be filled with infinite tenderness, which makes one's heart move deeply.

She poured two glasses of wine, one for him: "Your Majesty, you will not return until you are drunk."

Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows, took the wine glass, but held her back, looked at the person opposite him, then raised his head and drank it, saying "it's your turn". Lin Zhi finished drinking with a red face, her face soon flushed by the wine, taking advantage of the spring breeze tonight, she was full of charm.

Four guards were guarding the door of the private room, and two were downstairs. When they looked up, they could see His Majesty and His Majesty drinking together.

It seems like he is still saying something.

But after a few drinks, the window was closed, and they could faintly hear someone sighing in the teahouse opposite.

Lin Zhi was really not good at drinking. After a few drinks, she was drunk and her eyes were blurry, but her mind was still clear. Seeing Xiao Yuan closed the window, she laughed at him: "Why did you close the window, sir? Is this jealousy?"

Xiao Yuan turned around and saw her propping up her chin, with fragrant cheeks and rosy lips. Her exposed wrist was white and smooth, and a pink crabapple flower was inserted diagonally in her jade hair. It was picked by his father-in-law who was selling flowers just now. He personally pinned it on. His eyes darkened, and he walked over and admitted to her face: "Yes, Madam is really beautiful, and I just want to keep it for myself."

Lin Zhi was happy and held his face with both hands. Xiao Yuan stared at her, wanting to see what she would do.

"Is it okay for your majesty to wear that mask tonight?"

Xiao Yuan? ? ?

She kissed the corner of his mouth: "So majestic, I like it."

Xiao Yuan stared at her without saying a word for a long while, his eyes were deep. Suddenly, he pinched her face, stood up and called for someone to come. The guard came in, he took the cloak and wrapped it around Lin Zhi, then half-hugged her and went downstairs.

The carriage had been pulled to the door, and the two of them got on, blocking the curious gazes from the people around them.

The guards immediately led the carriage away, and the others followed behind.

inside the carriage,
Lin Zhi pushed aside her cloak and frowned at Xiao Yuan. Her eyes were misty. Before she could accuse him, her voice was drowned out. The carriage swayed and returned to the gate of the palace. The guard took out his badge and entered the palace smoothly. The carriage stopped at the door of the bedroom. The palace servants came forward to wait, but no one got off for a long time.

In the dark environment, Lin Zhi finally got a chance to breathe and called out "Your Majesty". The man said "Wait", gathered her clothes, smoothed her hair around her ears, put her face in his arms, and carried her out of the carriage.

When the palace maid wanted to step forward, he carried the person straight into the hall and casually said, "Close the door."

The candles in the hall burned until dawn. Before Lin Zhi went to sleep, his mind was full of his questions: "Is it powerful? Do you like it?"

dawn.

Lin Zhi recalled everything that happened last night...

She calmly put on her clothes and went behind the screen to wash. When she took off her clothes, her body was covered with stains. She waved her hand with a normal expression and asked the palace servant to go down and say that she would wash herself. When no one was around, she rubbed her face for an instant and secretly said that she would never drink again next time.

After cleaning up the meal, the wet nurse brought Xiao Jinhe over. When the little girl saw her, she stretched out her arms and screamed.

Lin Zhi held the little guy in her arms, her eyes full of smiles: "Baby, was you good last night?"

The wet nurse hurriedly said that the princess was very well behaved and had drunk enough milk, but she didn't see the queen cry for a while.

As if she knew she was being talked about, the little princess kicked her legs and grinned.

Linzhi kissed the baby's sweet face and responded to her baby talk while she ate.

Not long after, Xiao Yuan also came back from court and took over the task of holding his daughter, allowing Lin Zhi to eat in peace. However, the little one was bored staying in the house, and he always took her out for a walk at this time. Lin Zhi finished her meal quickly, and the two of them took the child to the yard.

As expected, Xiao Jinhe stopped making trouble. He looked around with his round eyes, and finally looked at his mother, wanting to get close to her.

Xiao Yuan hugged her tightly: "No, your mother is too tired, your father will hold you."

Lin Zhi subconsciously glared at him in shame and anger, but when she saw that he was looking at her with a smile, she said to her daughter, "Wait until your mother has had a good rest, then let her hug you." She was helpless, as this man, looking at his lovely daughter, also smiled.

The next day, Linzhi quickly got busy with the business of opening a shop, where she sold clothes and jewelry. She drew the designs herself and hired embroiderers who learned embroidery in the academy. Of course, she still sold the items to ladies and girls in the capital.

It was very popular and the money earned was used to support the school expenses.

Time passed by little by little, and the little princess grew up day by day. She was already three years old. She could run around on the ground, calling "Father" and "Mother", and became a lively little princess.

At this time, Lin Zhi took the baby's pulse and found that she was two months pregnant and the fetus was a little unstable.

Xiao Yuan was frightened and quickly asked her to put these things aside and let the people below do it, so that she could rest assured and take care of the pregnancy. Lin Zhi was also worried about something going wrong, so she left it to the people below.

The ladies of state also heard about it and came to visit, but Xiao Yuan thought they would interfere with Lin Zhi's recovery and told them not to come.

But Linzhi took good care of himself and was fine afterwards.

Eight months later, she gave birth to a boy, who was named "Crown Prince" by Xiao Yuan.

In the same year, schools run by the emperor and empress had blossomed everywhere, many ministers from humble backgrounds emerged in the court, and shops from Linzhi also spread to the south of the Yangtze River. Although it was not yet a prosperous era, in the hearts of the people, His Majesty was a wise ruler and the empress was benevolent and kind.

They spontaneously prayed for the newborn prince, hoping that he would be as wise as His Majesty in the future.
