At the hour of Xu, Yinzhen finished his official business and read for a while before returning to Danruoju.

Xiyu had finished washing up and was now sitting in front of the dressing table, letting Chunshi wipe her half-dry hair.

Unlike the usual bottles and jars, the table was basically empty.

"Aren't there lots of rouge and powder on weekdays? Why are they gone today?"

Yinzhen sat on the chair behind her with a book in his hand and spoke casually.

"Some of the ingredients in those rouge and powder are not good. I asked Madam Su to put them away. My fourth brother will send new ones with safe ingredients in a few days."

Xiyu carefully applied facial cream on her face and began to explain.

Ulanala Jingtai?

I heard that the youngest son of the Ulanara family was not interested in literature or martial arts, but was only interested in business. He was quite talented and at the age of 18, he already owned many shops that made a fortune every day.

They even formed a caravan that brought various ceramic tea cups, silk and other utensils from the Qing Dynasty to England to sell, and then brought back new and interesting things from England and sold them at high prices, making money on both sides.

The young lady had a very good relationship with him and always thought of him first when something happened.

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows, his expression unchanged.

Xiyu looked at him in the mirror, quietly observing his expression, and had some guesses in her mind.

Are you... unhappy?

She stopped Chunshi from wiping his hand, took the cotton towel from him, then slowly stood up and pointed to the spot beside Yinzhen's leg.

"Help me put this little chair over there."

Harutoki was confused, but he did as he was told, moved the low chair there, and then stepped out.

When he went out, he was very considerate and closed the door so that no light could come into the house.

Yinzhen caught a glimpse of the actions of the master and servant from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he continued to read the book in his hand, as if he was really immersed in it.

After the chair was properly placed, Xiyu sat down next to him, resting her small chin gently on the man's strong thigh, looking up at the man's clear jawline.

"Master, can you help Yaoyao dry her hair?"

She spoke in a delicate voice, her light brown almond eyes flickering, and she held a cotton towel in her hand.

The half-dried hair fell casually on one side of her shoulder, soaking her pajamas there and leaving a few faint water marks.

No need to worry about catching a cold or getting sick.

Yinzhen glanced at her indifferently, closed the book in his hand and put it aside, then took the cotton towel and patiently helped her wipe it.

She is much braver than when she first got married, and now she dares to order me around.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, his movements were slow and gentle.

Xiyu found a comfortable position and lay down on his legs, squinting her eyes slightly, the dimples on her cheeks slightly sunken, looking very smart.

Like a satisfied kitten.

She has long hair, and it takes a lot of patience to dry it.

Yinzhen pursed his lips and wiped it carefully. Just as he was concentrating on the movements in his hands, a sound of even and soothing breathing came into his ears.

The sound was slow and long.

He paused his hand movements, turned his head and looked over, his gaze falling on Xiyu's peaceful face.

The other person had his eyes closed, obviously exhausted and asleep.

When her hair was almost wiped, he carefully lifted her chin, then stood up from the chair and squatted down, adjusting his posture until he could place her head safely on his shoulder.

Yinzhen carefully picked up the person and put him on the bed.

As soon as she touched the bed, Xiyu turned over naturally, her hands still groping around.

He subconsciously held his breath and straightened his body.

Xiyu touched a corner of the quilt, pulled it gently, and rolled herself into the quilt.

I don't know how many times I have performed this skillful movement.

Yinzhen shook his head and chuckled, then waved to Gao Wuyong who was standing not far away through the window, gave him a few instructions, took off his shoes and went to bed.

The young concubine was sleeping on her stomach, and he was afraid of pressing on her stomach, so he carefully adjusted her posture, then lifted the quilt and crawled in, holding her in front of him.

During the whole process, Xiyu showed no signs of waking up.

With the sweet and soft beauty in his arms, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and then he closed his eyes and silently recited what he had learned in the book today.

At midnight, a dark figure suddenly entered the main room of Sheng Heju. Li opened her eyes and looked at the person standing in front of the bed in horror, until the other person took off the white cloth on his face...

The next morning, the breakfast was still sumptuous. Xiyu ate with such a great appetite that she had eaten most of the food on the table without realizing it.

You know, on normal days she can only eat a little of everything.

The little girls were in a panic, and even Qiu Xu, who knew some medical skills, couldn't explain what was going on.

Chun Shi suggested: "Fujin suddenly eats so much, should we invite a royal doctor for her?"

After all, Nanny Su was very experienced and senior. She calmly explained, "Fujin is pregnant now. It is possible that her appetite, taste, living habits, and even personality may change. Don't panic."

"And Doctor Zhao comes to check on my pulse every day. If you're really worried, just ask him later."

With her in charge, the little girls felt a little more at ease.

After dinner, Xiyu sat on the swing in the yard, basking in the spring sun.

The imperial physician said that getting more sun exposure has many benefits for the body.

She staggered for a while, and Gao Wuyong came in with his men carrying two small boxes.

He kept yawning as he walked.

"what is this?"

Xiyu stopped swinging and looked over curiously.

"Fujin, good luck."

Gao Wuyong patted his sleeves, supported himself on the ground with one hand to greet her, and then asked someone to open the box.

"Fujin, these are the rouge and powder that the Fourth Master asked me to prepare for you yesterday. The ingredients are safe and can be used during pregnancy.

And the flavors vary in intensity. The Fourth Master said that you can just pick the ones you like and keep them, and give the ones you don't like as rewards to others.

There are also these. Now that summer is almost here, there will inevitably be more mosquitoes. These are the insect repellent sachets that Doctor Zhao prepared overnight. There are various flavors in them. It depends on what you like. If you don’t like it, I will ask Doctor Zhao to prepare it for you.”

Hearing this, Xiyu's heart burned with anger.

No wonder she seemed to have sensed that Yinzhen was unhappy yesterday. It turned out that he was secretly jealous of her fourth brother and even prepared all these things overnight.

Judging from the dark circles under Gao Wuyong’s eyes, he must have not slept all night.

"I've prepared so much. If I can't use it all, it will be wasted."

To make it easier for Xiyu to check, the boxes were placed in front of her one by one.

She took out a sachet with a faint medicinal fragrance and played with it in her hands, unable to hide the joy on her face.

"Send someone to tell the Fourth Master that I like everything here."

"Yes."

Gao Wuyong asked a few eunuchs to put the box into the room, then he bent down and left Danruoju.

Outside the palace, Yinzhen was on duty at the Ministry of Revenue. After receiving Gao Wuyong's message, the tip of his writing pen paused slightly, and then continued sketching.

After a while, he blew the ink off the paper and said slowly:

"Since the rouge and powder have been delivered, go and tell Jingtai not to rush to prepare them. Fu Jin likes what I prepared very much. If he prepares another one, it will be wasted and Fu Jin will feel bad."

Gao Wuyong nodded in agreement, but he felt a little scared.

The Fourth Master asked him to spread this kind of message. Isn't he really afraid that he will be kicked out by Young Master Jingtai?

I heard that although Master Jingtai didn't like practicing martial arts, he never stopped practicing, and his martial arts were not inferior. Last time, he led people to kill a tiger that was causing trouble for the village at close range in the suburbs of Beijing.
