Traveling through ancient times, the empress insisted on having a child with me

Great prosperity.

Yingtian Prefecture, Kyoto.

Going south from Xi'an Gate of the Imperial City, there is a street called San Tiao Xiang.

In a yard in San Tiao Lane, peach trees are in full bloom. There is a pond next to the peach trees. Under a peach tree next to the pond, there is a lounge chair with a fishing rod next to it. Ling Chuan is lying on the lounge chair, glancing at the fish float on the water.

A gust of wind blew, and petals floated down and landed on Lingchuan's body.

"The warm spring breeze blows in my face, peach blossoms bloom, birds on the branches are in pairs, and lovers' hearts are blossoming. Oh, oh, you are more beautiful than flowers, and I can't forget you..."

Ling Chuan was humming a song with a relaxed look on his face. It was hard to believe even he himself, that he had traveled through time. Although he had a few miserable days at the beginning, he met a rich lady who settled him down in this house.

After living there for nearly a month, although the other party did not say it explicitly, Ling Chuan felt that he might be being kept.

Ling Chuan still has some aversion to the idea of ​​living off someone. After all, he is a high-level employee with an annual salary of 500,000 or 600,000 yuan, so it's okay for him to support someone else.

However, this rich lady is not only beautiful, she also holds great power in the family. She is truly a white, rich and beautiful woman.

Therefore, Lingchuan's rejection quickly disappeared, and his mind was filled with thoughts of living off the woman and having both money and beauty.

Just as he was humming a song, a maid with two little buns on her head came towards him.

"Son..."

"Shh..." Ling Chuan pointed his finger to his lips and then to the water surface. He saw the fish floating up and down and suddenly dived into the water. Ling Chuan was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He picked up the fishing rod and swung it. A fat mandarin fish was caught out of the water. The fish struggled frantically in mid-air, but was finally caught by Ling Chuan and stuffed into the fish basket beside him.

At this moment, the maid continued, "The young lady is here, please go and have a chat with her, young master."

Ling Chuan raised his eyebrows and stood up to pack his things: "That's perfect, I'll cook for you myself tonight and make some mandarin fish and tofu soup."

When they arrived at the backyard, they saw a dark carriage parked in the yard. Miss Lu Xi, who was fair-skinned, beautiful, and had long legs, was sitting leisurely at the stone table in the pavilion drinking tea with a faint smile on her face. When she saw Ling Chuan coming in, she said, "Mr. Ling, did you get anything?"

Ling Chuan picked up the fish basket and shook it: "Miss Lu, you came at the right time today. Come and try my cooking skills."

Lu Xi smiled at Ling Chuan, as if a spring breeze was blowing on his face: "Then I will wait to taste Master Ling's cooking skills."

When Ling Chuan carried the fish to the kitchen, the smile on Lu Xi's face instantly faded, and he asked Xiao Taohong beside him: "Is the wine ready?"

Xiao Taohong replied, "It's ready. Eunuch Cao prepared the medicine using the Yin Yang Pot. However, Eunuch Cao said that the medicine is colorless and tasteless this time, so it will take a while for it to take effect. It will take at least three cups for it to take effect."

Lu Xi frowned slightly and waved his hand to signal Xiao Taohong to leave.

When Ling Chuan finished cooking the fish soup and served it, the table was already filled with food and wine. Lu Xi greeted him, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Ling. Please take a seat. Xiao Taohong, pour the wine."

When Ling Chuan heard about pouring wine, he couldn't help but think of the last time he accompanied Lu Xi to drink. He passed out after just a few drinks. Although he was an alcoholic before traveling through time, it was obvious that he couldn't drink much in this body.

Although I blacked out from drinking last time, I could still clearly feel after waking up that I must have had sex.

No matter whether he had sex indiscriminately after drinking or this fair, rich and beautiful woman had deliberately gotten him drunk, Ling Chuan felt that he had suffered a great loss, so he decided that he must not get drunk today no matter what.

With his experience at the wine table, dodging a few glasses of wine was not a piece of cake, so he looked at Xiao Taohong who was pouring the wine and said in a fake tone: "I am not good at drinking. I lost my composure after drinking last time. Please forgive me, Miss Lu."

After being reminded by Ling Chuan, Lu Xi felt her ears burning, but her expression did not change. She only said calmly, "Mr. Ling is a modest gentleman. He did not behave badly after being drunk. Last time, Mr. Ling drank too quickly. This time, we should drink slowly."

Ling Chuan raised his eyebrows, thinking, is this woman denying what happened last time?

Lu Xi added: "I am usually busy with mundane affairs, and it is rare for me to have time to come and see Master Ling. Master Ling, can you just keep me company and relieve my boredom?"

Seeing Lu Xi raising the glass, Ling Chuan couldn't refuse too much. He just wanted to pretend to be drunk and couldn't not drink a single glass.

After clinking the two glasses and taking a sip, Ling Chuan thought that this wine didn't seem as strong as last time.

"Drink soup, drink soup." Ling Chuan poured a bowl of fish soup and handed it over: "Miss Lu, try this fish soup. It's definitely the best in the world, if not the best."

The reason why he was so confident was that he added homemade traditional MSG to the fish soup.

"Then I won't be polite." Lu Xi smiled and scooped a spoonful of fish soup into his mouth, then raised his eyebrows: "Master Ling's fish soup is indeed delicious."

"If it tastes good, drink more." Ling Chuan also filled a bowl of fish soup and started drinking: "Ms. Lu just said that drinking wine can relieve boredom. Could it be that Miss Lu also has something bothering her?"

Lu Xi was just making an excuse. Seeing Ling Chuan asking, he raised his glass again and said, "It's hard to explain this matter in a few words. Master Ling, drink this glass and I will tell you slowly."

Seeing Lu Xi taking another gulp, Ling Chuan started to think. He was still good at avoiding drinking at the table. The sleeves of his robe were wide, which made it even easier for him to do so. He raised the glass, tilted his head back, and seemingly drank it all in one gulp, but in fact, Ling Chuan poured the wine into his sleeves.

"To be honest, Master Lu, my annoyance is all due to the flood in Jiangzhou Prefecture." Lu Xi said, "There has been heavy rain in Jiangzhou Prefecture for more than ten days, which caused the Zhangjiang River to burst its dike, flooding hundreds of miles, dozens of counties, more than one million people were affected, and more than 300,000 people were left homeless..."

At this point, Lu Xi paused and said, "The family's business in Jiangzhou Prefecture has also been affected by this. I'm afraid we will suffer heavy losses."

Ling Chuan thought that Lu Xi's family was very powerful and had businesses in Jiangzhou Prefecture. He casually replied, "Jiangzhou Prefecture was hit by a disaster. Didn't the imperial court provide disaster relief?"

Lu Xi sighed and said, "This flood is rare in a century. Although the court is willing to provide disaster relief, the treasury is empty."

Ling Chuan came to another conclusion. It seems that the Lu family has people in the court. They are definitely a noble family. "If the court is short of money, it can just collect donations from the people. The Great Sheng Dynasty has nine prefectures and thirteen vassal states. Can't it collect hundreds of thousands of dan of grain?"

"How can it be that easy? Let's not talk about whether we can raise so much food. Even if we can, when it is transported to Jiangzhou Prefecture, we don't know how many people will starve to death."

Lu Xi raised his glass again and said, "Let's not talk about this. Master Ling, I'll toast you."

Watching Lu Xi drink it all in one gulp, Ling Chuan poured another glass of wine into his sleeve.

After drinking three glasses of wine, Lu Xi glanced at Xiao Taohong beside him. The meaning was very clear, why was it not working?

Xiao Taohong was also a little panicked and could only pour another glass of wine for Lingchuan.
