One hundred and twelve noisy rooms, I heard it's a lot of fun

  It was a painting album, and the pictures in it were clear and striking. Not because the paintings were particularly grand or elegant, but because the men and women depicted in them were stark naked...

  For a moment, he only felt that his whole body's blood was flowing backwards, his entire body was hot and feverish, and even his breathing became urgent and uncontrollable.

  Looking at the woman who was acting as if nothing had happened, even looking more serious than usual, Yin Du's handsome face turned bright red, and he snatched the book from her hand.

  "Who let you see these?!" He now only feels that his mind is in a mess, and it's simply impossible to describe his emotions. This woman, he really doesn't know what to say to her anymore.

  What kind of woman's family reads this kind of book without avoiding people at all?

  And even if she doesn't understand, it doesn't mean he doesn't either. Although he hasn't experienced it before, but as a man, he should be the one in charge of these things. Her looking at these things is clearly belittling him!

  It's simply too hurtful to his self-esteem...

  I'm afraid he might think he's not good at that sort of thing!

  What's even more maddening is that these albums make even him, a grown man, blush and his heart skip a beat, yet this woman can remain calm as ever, without even her breathing getting disordered... If he hadn't personally touched her, kissed her, he would have doubted whether she was really a woman.

  The blood shadow's expressionless face turned around, slightly furrowing his brow, seemingly displeased that he had snatched his own thing.

  "What are you doing?" she said indifferently.

  Yin Du felt like all the blood in his body was about to spurt out of his mouth. Afraid that she would snatch it back, he hastily stuffed the small yellow book into his sleeve and grasped Bai Ying's hands, his scorching gaze filled with a hint of irritation. With great effort, he suppressed the turmoil in his heart and asked calmly: "Who gave you this painting?"

  "Princess." Xue Ying said matter-of-factly, seemingly not feeling that there was anything wrong with what he was doing. He looked at Yin Du's eyes, which were calm and peaceful like a windless lake surface, without any ripples.

  Yin Du suddenly couldn't say a word. This result he should have thought of earlier, except for the queen, others can't influence her at all.

  Looking into her calm and peaceful eyes, Yin Du let out a deep sigh, telling himself not to take it seriously with her. This woman, there's no use in being serious with her. Even if he were to spit blood and die, she probably wouldn't even bat an eyelid.

  He placed his hands on her shoulders, and sat down with Blood Shadow facing him. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and spoke to her face-to-face.

  "Why do you want to look at that kind of picture book?"

  "The princess changed shifts and said it's possible to practice martial arts." Blood Shadow replied very calmly.

  "...Yin Du felt he had really lost, defeated by two women. "Did the princess really say that?"

  "Uh-huh."

  Yin Du let out a sigh, raised his hand, and his large palm covered Blood Shadow's cheek. Her skin wasn't particularly pale, but it felt very smooth to the touch. With a red face, he suddenly lowered his voice and asked: "Do you want to learn those 'moves' from the painting?"

  Xue Ying nodded.

  Yin Du's mouth twitched slightly. He leaned in close to her ear, his voice suddenly hoarse: "In just a few days, it'll be our wedding day. I'll learn those 'techniques' first, and then teach you after we get married and enter the bridal chamber, okay? Also, this kind of 'martial art' can only be practiced with one person, cannot practice with others, because you can't wear clothes, so you're not allowed to casually find someone to practice with. Do you understand? Otherwise, it'll be embarrassing."

  Her eyes were fixed on his sleeve, her face was pale and her heart was still, she suddenly said: "I can learn by myself."

  At the words, Yin Du rubbed his teeth and took advantage of the situation to hug her, lightly biting her ear, "This kind of thing is learned by men first, then taught to women, can't you see that I'm the one who knows?"

  Xue Ying raised her head from his shoulder: "Are you sure you can learn?" She had been watching several moves, but couldn't grasp them...

  Yin Du's eyes suddenly turned into a line of black dots. “……”

  This dead girl! If he wasn't afraid of being scolded by the princess, he would have let her know whether he can or not right now!

  The King was also inexperienced with women before his marriage, but he still served the Queen well.

  How dare she doubt him in this regard?!

  When it's time for the bridal chamber, he must make this little girl cry and beg him!

  He raised his hand and a gust of wind extinguished the candles in the house.

  "It's late, go to sleep quickly." In order not to be stimulated by these topics and get overexcited, he decided not to talk to her anymore.

  He reached out and lifted up the quilt, covering the two of them, his hands somewhat shamelessly groping around.

  "You've been told before that you can't sleep in so many clothes, why don't you listen?"

  "Don't move, I'll help you take it off."

  "It's hot now, wearing too much will make you sick. From now on, only wear a bellyband to sleep, got it?"

  “……”

  “……”

  In the pitch-black room, a man's voice came intermittently from the bed...

  ……

  Two days later, another imperial edict of marriage broke the peace in the capital again. For the man and woman who were married by imperial decree, from high-ranking officials to ordinary people, there was no one who was not shocked and amazed.

  Many years ago, the story of this couple had been spread throughout the capital city. Everyone knew that the Liu family had a spoiled daughter who was pursuing Prince Fengde. Many people had even mocked her behind her back, saying that a wild sparrow also wanted to fly high. But no one expected that after many years, the wild sparrow from the Liu family really did fly up to the high branch.

  Fengde Wangfu

  Liu Xue Lan has been in a great mood these past two days, and as a result, she's also been smiling more at a certain man.

  The most beautiful mood is probably the groom-to-be. The gloom of several months seems to have dissipated with this holy decree, and I can finally eat and sleep well.

  After lunch that day, a silk store sent over a lot of fabric. After the tailor took her measurements, Liu Xue Lan began to choose the fabrics and patterns she liked. Originally, she had wanted someone from the Liu manor to send her things to the Feng De Wang manor, but was rejected by a certain man who looked down on her.

  At the Liu Manor, Liu Xue Lan's attire was not shabby either. However, as she gazed at the rows of colorful silk fabrics in front of her, she still felt somewhat at a loss. It seemed that having too many options had dazzled her eyes.

  "Luoming, come here." After selecting and re-selecting two or three times, she touched each piece of satin again and again before finally choosing a light purple one. "Send this fabric to the Cheng Wang Fu."

  "...Luo Ming accompanied Xia Lixuan to watch her excitedly selecting, heard her words and hurried over, only to ask in confusion, "Princess, why do you want to send it to Cheng Wangfu?"

  All these things were personally selected by the king from the shops and sent over, but they were all for making clothes for her. She picked them out herself but didn't use them, so why did she want to give them to someone else?

  Liu Xuelan picked up the fabric and handed it over to Luo Ming, who quickly took it.

  "When I had nowhere to go, it was Princess Wang who took me in and took care of me. Now that I have nothing to repay her with, I thought of sending her some fabric so she can make a few new dresses." Looking at Luo Ming, Liu Xue Lan spoke very seriously, seemingly dissatisfied with his previous question.

  Seeing her displeased expression, Luo Ming quickly shut his mouth. This was the new master, and even the prince didn't dare to provoke her; he had even less courage to displease her. Otherwise, tonight the prince would not be able to go to bed, and tomorrow he would definitely be beheaded by the prince.

  Liu Xuelan then picked up the second piece of fabric and pointed to Luo Ming: "This brocade is for Cheng Wang, remember not to drop it."

  Upon hearing this, a man sitting nearby who had been watching the woman with great pleasure suddenly turned dark-faced. Putting down his tea cup, he stood up and walked over, scowling at the woman: "What are you doing? Could it be that the grand Cheng Wang Fu can't even afford to buy a few pieces of fabric, so they need you to give them as gifts?"

  The dead woman actually delivered goods to other men in front of him! Is he not dead yet?

  Liu Xuelan furrowed her brow, looking back at him with displeasure: "Can't even the wealthy and prosperous Feng De Wang Fu bear to give a few pieces of fabric to others?"

  "Ah!" Xia Lixuan's proud face suddenly turned cold. "Liu Xuehan, this is something for you from me, the king!"

  Liu Xuelan raised an eyebrow: "Since it's for me, I'll decide who to give it to. What business is it of yours?"

  "Are you looking for a fight?" The man was thoroughly enraged.

  "Xia's surname, you've only shown me a good face for a few days and now your true nature is revealed. Can't you be more reasonable?" Liu Xuehan stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at him with a fierce expression. She just wanted to express her gratitude, the couple had taken such good care of her, was it wrong that she wanted to give them something? This man was inexplicably going crazy, it was really unbearable.

  Moreover, Xue Ying is about to get married soon. Although she didn't have much conversation with him, during her days in Cheng Wang Fu, Xue Ying took good care of her, serving her like a master. She wanted to give them some gifts, but unfortunately, she had no silver coins, so she thought of giving them some of these fabrics as gifts to the newlyweds, after all, she wouldn't use up these twenty or so pieces of fabric anyway.

  Xia Li Xun's face turned black, looking at her arguing with herself for someone else's sake, and even more displeased in her heart: "These are all things from the De Wang Fu, without my permission, you're not allowed to give them away!"

  Liu Xue Lan suddenly narrowed her eyes, and her small face, which had just been flushed with excitement, turned white in an instant.

  She turned around and rushed out of the hall without looking back.

  "...By the time Xia Lixuan reacted, the person had already run away. Angrily, he clenched his fists and hastily chased after him."

  "Liu Xuelan, stop right there!" The dead woman, pregnant with a child, actually dared to run!

  She hastily returned to her bedroom, and Liu Xue Lan rummaged through the closet for her everyday clothes, preparing to pack them up. Suddenly, the bundle in her hand was snatched away by someone, who then ruthlessly threw it out of the room.

  Before she could get angry, the man suddenly held her tightly in his arms, his strong arms almost making her pass out from lack of breath. By her ear was the man's furious roar: "Liu Xue Shan, are you trying to run away again?"

  Liu Xue Lan's face was cold, although she didn't shout at him, but the words that came out of her mouth were also extremely cold: "I, Liu Xue Lan, have a poor fate, this golden nest may not be suitable for me. I can go hungry to beg for food, but I will never tolerate someone else's cold face. Your things are too expensive for me, if so, then I don't want them. I have hands and feet, I can earn my own silver coins, and won't spend a single coin of yours."

  Upon hearing this, Xia Li Xuan suddenly stiffened, his head lowered and staring at her, with intense flames surging in the depths of his eyes. "Are you out of your mind?! Earning money? I'm not unable to support you, dare you take a step out of the Fude Wangfu, I'll have to capture you!"

  After knowing her for so many years, how could he not know the way she makes money? Just thinking about her carrying his own son and still going to fight and gamble with others, Xia Lixun's head was about to smoke. How can this woman be so unreasonable?!

  Liu Xue Lan's face was twisted, neither looking at him nor speaking. Perhaps her heart was too stifled, she suddenly felt unwell in the stomach, and hurriedly pushed him away, covering her neck and vomiting.

  "Ugh——"

  With a bellyache and feeling unwell, in an instant, her small face lost all its color, and she squatted on the ground vomiting nonstop, as if she wanted to throw up her internal organs.

  These days, Xia Li Xuan had also seen her vomiting a few times, but none of them were as serious as this time, scaring him to stand by with trembling hands. Coming back to his senses, he quickly picked her up and walked away from the filthy things, holding her straight to the big bed, helping her relieve her discomfort and wiping her mouth.

  Liu Xuelan took a deep breath, her face cold as she pushed him away, covering her mouth with her hand to hold back the dizziness.

  Xia Li Xun didn't dare to provoke her again at this time. The scene just now had already scared away the anger in his heart.

  He stretched out his hand to hug her again, but was slapped away by Liu Xuelan.

  "Get out! Don't come near me, I don't want to be with someone who loses their temper all the time!" She really didn't want to spend every day arguing, thinking about how others had lived a life of happiness, and then looking at herself, she felt wronged to death. Why was there such a big difference between her and others who also helped men raise children?

  Thinking of these things, she couldn't help but redden her eyes.

  "Alright, alright, I won't get angry...". Ignoring her refusal, Xia Lixun forcibly hugged her and lowered his voice "You've never given me anything, I just said a few words, it's not like I intentionally wanted to anger you."

  "You still have the nerve to say that!" Suddenly, Liu Xue Lan was furious, her tears could no longer be held back, and they gushed out in a torrent. "Touch your own conscience and ask yourself, haven't I ever given you anything?"

  "...". Suddenly, Xia Lixun closed his mouth, and his eyes darted around, not daring to look at her angry face.

  "Who trashed all the things I sent you? Who said my stuff was all junk? Who said my stuff was all cheap and worthless? Who exactly said those things back then? How dare you say I never gave you anything? What did you do to me every time I gave you something? At Luyuanshan, you even threw the clothes I gave you on the ground. Did you ever think about how I felt when you did that?" As soon as she mentioned past events, all sorts of unbearable scenes flashed through Liu Xue's mind. She admitted that although it was in the past, her heart still harbored many grievances and resentment.

  "You have never respected me once, you have never taken me seriously. Seven years, Xia's surname, I spent seven years treating you like this, can you accept it? Until now, you are still so overbearing, still don't know what respect is. From your perspective, I should be content and grateful just because I married you. But am I just here to marry you? Is marrying you just about quarreling every day?"

  After saying all this, Liu Xuelan was already crying uncontrollably.

  Xia Li Xuan couldn't say a word, but his hands holding hers didn't loosen one bit. On his cold and handsome face, his deep eyes were filled with regret and pain.

  She didn't mention it, and he still doesn't know how many despicable things he's done...

  "Xiang'er..." He lowered his head, found her tear-soaked lips and pressed against them, "I'm sorry, I... I..."

  He seems to have gone too far...

  But aren't those all in the past?

  He now just wants to be good with her and has no intention of bullying her again...

  After venting her emotions and crying, Liu Xue Lan seemed to have not heard his words at all. She felt exhausted and only wanted to close her eyes for a good rest.

  "Get away from me... I want some peace and quiet." She tried to struggle free from his arms, but the man held her too tightly, so she had no choice but to coldly shoo him away.

  "Alright, you rest." Xia Li Xun hastily appeased her and put her on the bedside, but he didn't leave. Instead, he lay down beside her with his body sideways, saying shamelessly, "I'll stay here to keep you company while you rest."

  This woman, he doesn't dare to be careless, who knows what she will do after getting angry.

  Liu Xue Lan was speechless and wanted to vomit all over him. Since when did this man become so shameless?

  She didn't have the energy to keep arguing with him, so she simply closed her eyes. She wasn't sure if it was because of exhaustion, but in just a few moments, she fell into a deep sleep.

  She noticed that her breathing was calm, and Xia Lixun couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He stealthily moved his face closer to take a look, only to find that the woman had indeed fallen asleep.

  "This woman... seems to be sleeping a lot lately."

  Looking at the tear stains on the woman's face, he furrowed his brow, took out his own handkerchief from his pocket, and gently wiped away her tears and snot.

  Dead woman, dirty and sleepy all day, not noisy or crying, as if he abused her, don't know if he will teach his son badly...

  As he gazed at her oval face, his eyes suddenly froze. The two of them were always arguing on a daily basis, but in fact, he rarely looked at her with such seriousness.

  To be honest, this woman is not beautiful, but can only say that she has a lovely face. Her face, nose, eyes, and chin are all like those of a child, and after so many years, they still haven't matured. He had never seen a woman who looked so childish before, and sometimes he would wonder if in another ten or twenty years she would still look the same, and whether others would say that he had a certain kind of fetish.

  Stroking her small face, which was no bigger than the palm of his hand, it felt soft and smooth to the touch. The more he stroked, the less he wanted to pull his hand away, as if he had never touched anyone with such sincerity before.

  His handsome face hung above hers, his deep eyes flashing slightly, and his thin lips fell on her red cherry lips. It was just a light touch, but suddenly he felt that he couldn't bear it himself, and his body's reaction was more severe than he had imagined.

  He glanced at his flat stomach and let out a dejected sigh, then flipped over and sat up.

  This woman is no good in anything, only her belly is too capable, just slept with him once, and now he can't even get a little sweetness...

  When will this ascetic monk's days finally come to an end?

  These past few nights he almost couldn't bear it and nearly did her in several times, if he continued to endure, by the time she gave birth, he would have been stifled to death!

  He tightly pursed his thin lips, got out of bed with a cold face, and tried hard not to think about those fragments.

  ……

  Heir to the Imperial Palace

  Received a large pile of fabrics sent by the steward of the Wangfu, Bai Xin was unexpectedly pleased to learn that it was Liu Xue Lan's intention, and she did not decline, magnanimously accepting it.

  There weren't many people bustling around her, she picked a silver-white brocade for herself and then let Blood Shadow choose two more, after which she gave one each to Gong Yi and Mei Jiao Yu.

  These people are always busy for her every day, and when there's something good, she thinks it should be shared with everyone together.

  After Gong's mother-in-law thanked and accepted the gift, Mei Jiao and Mei Yu, the two little maids, seemed to be receiving a gift for the first time. They were so excited that they couldn't close their mouths. The two of them each hugged a piece of brocade and hurried back to their room to discuss making clothes.

  Only Blood Shadow was left staring at the two pieces of cloth in his hand, motionless, and White Heart's gaze seemed a bit dazed.

  "What's wrong, don't you like it?" Bai Xintong asked, unable to help herself.

  The bloodstained face shook its head expressionlessly.

  Looking at her in a suit, not a bit of femininity, Bai Xintian sighed and said seriously to her: "The wedding is about to take place soon, don't wear these black clothes later, they're ugly. We are women and should have the appearance of women, not to mention heavy makeup, but also can't lose too much femininity, do you understand?

  The emptiness in his eyes was even deeper.

  At the sight of her dazed expression, Bai Xintian knew she couldn't accept it. So he hastily added, "You don't have to think too much about it, some things just need to be gradually gotten used to, understand?"

  Xue Ying nodded: "Yes, I know."

  Bai Xin wasn't sure if she had truly understood or was just mechanically responding, and with only a few days left before the wedding, she felt that she should have a good talk with Xue Ying.

  "Xue Ying, I'm marrying you off to Yin Du, will you hate me? Do you feel like I'm forcing you into this?"

  Xue Ying lowered his head and replied: "Everything is up to the princess to decide, I dare not have any opinion, nor will I resent the princess."

  Bai Xindye had her put the fabric on the table, and she walked forward to pull her hand and sat down at the edge of the table. However, Blood Shadow refused to sit beside her, so Bai Xindye could only have her stand by her side. Lifting her head, she looked seriously at her calm and peaceful face.

  "Xue Ying, be honest with me, how has Yin Du been treating you lately? Don't worry about my thoughts, just say your own. Do you think Yin Du is good or bad to you?"

  "Your Highness, Yin Huwei has been very good to me."

  Bai Xin raised an eyebrow: "What's so good about it?"

  Xue Ying was silent for a moment before saying, "He sent mantou to Xiaodi."

  "......?!" Bai Xin's mouth twitched at the corner. "What else?"

  This girl, just one steamed bun and she's settled, how hungry must she have been to remember someone's small kindness?

  He gave Xiaowei a bath and washed his hair.

  “……？！” Bai Xin's mouth twitched again. Idiot! He was taken advantage of by Yin Du and didn't even know it! Thinking of something, she looked at Xue Ying with a hint of amusement, "Did Yin Du help you take off your clothes and then put them back on?"

  "Xue Ying looked up in surprise: 'How did you know, Your Highness?'"

  Bai Xin's face turned red as she almost lost her smile, and she quickly waved her hand: "I didn't sneak into your room to peek, it was just my own guess."

  That dead Yin Du is really shameless!

  What was left, Bai Xinduan didn't dare to ask anymore, just in case he asked something embarrassing. As for Yin Du and Xue Ying's private life, she had never interfered. Anyway, as long as the two of them got along well, she thought that other things shouldn't be meddled with too much. After all, it was their freedom to do whatever they wanted when they were in love. Besides, he thought Yin Du, although taking advantage of Xue Ying a lot, was still quite reliable. At least he could still maintain that respect before marriage.

  Actually, she didn't plan to ask Blood Shadow anything, she just needed to know what Blood Shadow thought of Yin Du. Now it seems that Blood Shadow doesn't seem to mind Yin Du, and even knows that the things Yin Du did to her were good for her.

  Knowing this is already enough to comfort her. At least it shows that Blood Shadow is gradually changing, and she can say what's good about others, which means she has a distinction between good and bad.

  ……

  Yin Du and Xue Ying's wedding was very low-key to outsiders, although there wasn't the kind of grand fanfare, but on the day of their union, every corner of Cheng Wang Fu was filled with excitement and joy. There were no external guests, all the guests were the servants of Cheng Wang Fu. In Bai Xin Yan's words, this day was like a big family reunion.

  The ceremony was hosted by Gong Nainai, and the wedding hall was personally designed by Bai Xinyan for the two of them, who then supervised the arrangement. Considering their life after marriage, Bai Xinyan specially chose a spacious wing room in the main courtyard as their new home and future residence.

  Just in time, Liu Xuelan also arrived from the Fong De Wang Fu, and Xia Lixun came as well. However, when the two appeared, one had a joyful face to offer congratulations, while the other had a dark face as if he had come to collect debts.

  Especially when seeing the whole courtyard full of servants, Xia Lixun's face was like falling into a dung pit, not to mention how ugly it looked.

  He thought that the majestic prince would actually squeeze together with a group of servants to watch the ceremony, and it was already not bad that he didn't slap those people to death. Following closely behind Liu Xue Lan, he almost poked holes in the back of her head.

  It's all because of this dead woman who insists on joining in the fun, and she even cried and threatened to break up with him. He didn't dare let her come out alone, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow her over.

  Look at these people!

  None of them are presentable!

  Upon learning that they had arrived, Bai Xinzhi hastily instructed Yan Moyu to entertain a certain proud peacock in the study, while she took Liu Xuelan to the bridal chamber, witnessing the most important moment for the newlyweds.

  After the ceremony, when Yin Du was leading the bride back to their room with a triumphant smile on his face, Liu Xue Lan wanted to follow them and make some noise in the bridal chamber. Bai Xin Ran quickly stopped her from going.

  "Xīn rǎn, don't you want to go take a look? It's the wedding night, I've heard it's really fun." Liǔ Xuě Lán's face was filled with excitement, but she couldn't understand why Bái Xīn Rǎn wouldn't let her follow.

  When she heard her words, Bai Xinzhi only felt amused, but didn't know how to explain it to her. Staring at her belly for a moment, she laughed and said: "What's so great about the bridal chamber? Isn't it just that one thing? Soon it'll be your turn to get married, and then you'll have your own fun."

  After finishing speaking, she deliberately winked at Liu Xue Lan.

  She absolutely cannot let Xue Leng follow her. With Xue Leng's personality, how could she possibly allow others to listen in on her private conversations? If they were discovered, who knows, someone might throw a flying knife over, and if the wall listener didn't hear it, they might even lose their life.

  She was more curious than anyone else, after all, this new couple was matched by her, and she still wanted to see the show...

  Digression

  These days have been exhausting, today is even more tiring, I'll let Xiaozhi take a nap first and make up for the sleep, there will be benefits tomorrow~
