Chapter 223 What's the idea?

While eating dinner, Xia Chunwen mentioned, "I saw Second Aunt and Young Prince Jing on the street today."

Zhou immediately became interested: "Just the two of them?"

"Yes, we talked and laughed as we entered the Ziwei Pavilion." Chunwen said.

"What is Ziwei Pavilion?"

"Teahouse!"

Zhou pondered secretly, and the more she pondered, the more her already small eyes narrowed and could not be seen.

There is a lot of room for writing here...

After dinner, Zhou went to the Marquis' Mansion. She had been visiting Liuli very frequently recently. The Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was really going to retire. Zhou was very jealous of this lucrative position. Humph, Chunyu, don't think that you can only rely on him. It might be safer for her to find Liuli.

"There is some progress on the matter you mentioned, but the emperor now has several candidates in his hands, and various forces want to arrange their own people in..." Liuli said in a soft voice with a frown.

I have to say that Liuli's ability to control people is getting better and better.

Zhou smiled flatteringly: "It's just a matter of a word from you, Princess. Chunyu said it lightly before, but when the time comes, he doesn't say a word. It's clear that he can't do it. How much face can he have? The emperor values ​​him, isn't it for your sake? For the sake of the old marquis's face?"

Zhou also knew Liuli's temperament well. She liked to be praised and coaxed by others.

As expected, Liuli's lips curved slightly, revealing her innate sense of superiority and arrogance. "Okay, I'll keep this in mind. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be news this month."

She had her own plan. To help Zhou, Zhou would have to follow her lead in the future. Although Zhou did not have much ability, she could throw tantrums and make trouble. The key point was that Zhou hated the Ye family as much as she did. She still needed such a person to act as a pawn to implement her plan.

Zhou was overjoyed: "Thank you first, Princess. If this is successful, you will be our family's great benefactor!"

After finishing the business, Zhou started gossiping about Ye Jiayao: "Do you think the second son's wife will be able to give birth? She's been married for almost half a year, and there's been no news."

Liuli said casually: "How would I know that?"

As he said this, he proudly touched his slightly bulging belly.

"You've been taking medicine all the time and taking a lot of supplements. In my opinion, it's just a waste of time." Zhou said sarcastically.

"It's the same for others who can make money." Liuli said indifferently.

"How can they be the same? Is the Marquis' Mansion short of money? This woman is a waste because she can't give birth to a child. I don't know what Chunyu is thinking, he still treats her like a treasure." Zhou sneered.

Liuli laughed twice.

The time is still short. If Chunyu can't give birth in one year, two years, or even never, and he can still treat Ye as his treasure, she will be convinced.

"The eldest sister-in-law is the same. Since you know that the second son's wife is not good enough, you don't even think about taking a concubine for Chunyu. Chunyu is not young anymore. Others of his age would have children who are already helping with housework." Zhou said again.

Liuli thought for a moment and said slowly, "What Third Aunt said makes sense. As the prince, Second Brother will inherit the title in the future. If he remains childless, it will be a bit troublesome. However, it is not easy for us, as daughters-in-law, to say these things. After all, we are the younger generation."

How could Zhou not hear the hidden meaning of Liuli's words? Liuli was not convenient to say it, but she could say it. So she said, "I have to persuade my sister-in-law some other day. This kind of thing cannot be vague. We can't afford to delay it."

"By the way, Chunwen saw Chunyu's wife and young Prince Jing together on the street today. They were talking and laughing, and were so intimate as if no one was around." Zhou said as she recalled this.

Liuli was startled, then sneered, "Speaking of which, Young Prince Jing and Second Sister-in-law are nominally siblings! It's normal for them to be close."

Zhou sneered, "What brother and sister? They are just brothers in name only. This woman is too casual. She doesn't even know how to avoid suspicion. Chunyu is busy outside, but she is having a good time."

Liuli smiled: "Probably not!"

After Zhou left, Liuli stopped smiling and asked Xiaoya to call Imperial Physician Li.

"Now we can make the next move."

Imperial Physician Li looked indifferent and calm, as if he was just listening to an ordinary order. He had seen all kinds of dark things in the palace.

"Yes." Imperial Physician Li responded calmly.

Mr. Ye will definitely not trust the prescriptions written by Imperial Physician Li, and will go to the doctor to verify them. Therefore, the first few prescriptions cannot be wrong. Haha, Mr. Ye, you don’t need many, just a few doses of medicine will be enough. You will never think of having a child, and then, just wait to be kicked out of the house in disgrace!
Liuli laughed wildly in her heart, hoping that she could see such a wonderful scene before she left for her fiefdom.

Ye Jiayao was in a very good mood today. Renhetang's attitude and words made her regain her confidence. Xiaojing also said that things on Simon's side were almost done, and maybe Helian Xuan would be able to come back in a few months.

Seeing her smile that she hadn't seen in a long time, Qiao Xi naturally felt cheerful. Recently, the Second Young Madam had been having a very frustrating time. There were a lot of rumors outside saying that the Second Young Madam couldn't have children, but she didn't believe it. She had accompanied the Second Young Madam to see a doctor that day. The doctor at Renhetang was considered the most famous doctor in Jinling City. The doctor didn't say that the Second Young Madam couldn't have children. It was probably someone behind the scenes who was deliberately making the Second Young Madam unhappy.

"Second Young Madam, is there something good?"

Ye Jiayao couldn't hide a smile on her face: "Well, there is good news. Prince Helian will be back soon." "So, we won the battle?" Qiao Xi was also happy. Although women like them didn't care about the war, they were always happy when they heard about a victory.

"I think so!" Ye Jiayao smiled.

Chunyu had someone tell her that she would be back later today. It didn't matter if she was back later, as long as she came back, they hadn't been intimate for a few days. Chunyu was busy and tired, and she herself was also full of things on her mind, so she wasn't interested. But tonight, she was ready to do it.

"Qiao Xi, prepare some hot water for me. I want to take a bath."

Ye Jiayao washed herself and changed into a pink and purple silk dress. The dress was thin and translucent, revealing a large area of ​​pink and delicate skin on her chest. The dark purple bellyband inside was faintly visible. Ye Jiayao was satisfied with her outfit, which was quite attractive. This feeling was a bit like treating herself as a fine pastry, just waiting for that person to taste it, feeling nervous and expectant, and a little excited.

It’s been a long time since I felt this way, so sweet and wonderful.

Chunyu came back really late, and Ye Jiayao almost couldn't hold on and fell asleep.

When she heard Chunyu's voice, she immediately woke up, got out of bed and helped him change clothes.

"You're back so late." Ye Jiayao said with a smile.

Chunyu looked a little tired, and didn't notice that Ye Jiayao's clothes were deliberately loose, revealing her temptation. He hummed and said, "We are almost done, just waiting for the envoy from South Vietnam to arrive."

Having said that, he went into the bathroom to wash up.

Ye Jiayao was a little disappointed. He didn't even look at her! After thinking for a moment, she followed him in.

Xia Chunyu was wringing his handkerchief and washing his face.

Ye Jiayao hugged his waist from behind, and put her face on his broad and strong back, feeling his body temperature and heartbeat, and asked softly: "Have you eaten dinner? Are you hungry? Do you want me to make you some midnight snack?"

Xia Chunyu paused as he twisted the handkerchief. His little woman seemed particularly gentle today! What was her intention?
He couldn't help but smile, wiped his face, threw the cotton handkerchief away, turned around and hugged her, his eyes were deep and deep, looking at her softly, his voice was also soft: "Have you missed me these two days?"

Ye Jiayao shyly grabbed his collar and did not answer. She asked, "What about you?"

"Yes." He answered simply and neatly.

Ye Jiayao licked her lips and looked up at him. Her clear eyes were like the ripples of a bright lake. She heard her own soft voice and asked, "What do you think?"

Xia Chunyu smiled, lowered his head, kissed her wet lips, gently held them, and swept his tongue over them as if he was licking a piece of delicious cake.

His voice became hoarse, soft enough to melt people's hearts: "I want it this way."

The hand holding her slender waist skillfully went into her clothes, kneading her fullness lightly and heavily: "I want it like this."

Ye Jiayao's face was already red and hot. Was it because she was particularly emotional today, or what, she was actually moved by his voice. She couldn't breathe because of his kiss, but this was a clean room, Ye Jiayao pressed against his chest with difficulty, and said coquettishly: "I made some ginseng soup, I'll bring it to you!"

Having said that, he ran away.

When Xia Chunyu saw her shyly running away, his dark eyes became even deeper and brighter, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he followed her out.

I go to bed, close my eyes, and wait for the bird's nest and the dinner tonight.

It's rare that his little woman is so proactive, how could he let her down?

Ye Jiayao put on her coat and went to get the ginseng soup. It was night time. Not that she didn't like having other people serving her in the room, so she didn't disturb Qiao Xi and the others.

"Chun Yu, the ginseng soup is here." Ye Jiayao called out, but there was no response.

"Chun Yu..."

Ye Jiayao entered the bedroom, only to see Chunyu sleeping without taking off his shoes or covering himself with a blanket, leaning on the pillow, breathing lightly and evenly.

"Chun Yu..."

Xia Chunyu just wanted to rest for a while, but he didn't expect to fall asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

The evil fire that had been burning in Ye Jiayao's heart all night slowly died down and cooled as she looked at that tired handsome face.

She put down the ginseng soup, took off his shoes, took a pillow, helped him lie down, and covered him with a quilt.

Chunyu wrapped himself in the quilt, turned over and continued to sleep soundly. Obviously, it was more comfortable to sleep this way.

Ye Jiayao sat on the edge of the bed, in a daze.

Is he really too tired? Or is she no longer so attractive to him?
Immediately, she shook her head and took a deep look at him who was sleeping. He must be exhausted! He had never fallen asleep like this before. She shouldn't have such wild thoughts.
