Quick Wear: Host, are you playing here?

The Nanyue court was equally uneasy and hinted to the Duke of Chu to think of a solution. On the one hand, the Duke of Chu and his wife were reluctant to part with their daughter, but since she was already married, there was really no reason for her to stay in her parents' home forever.

Just as they were about to try to persuade them, Qin Xiu came to them and wanted them to follow him north, travel along the way, and finally stay in Beiqi for a while, just to see the scenery of the snow falling in the north.

The two were instantly attracted and agreed without hesitation.

So, everyone started to pack up and planned to go north. This trip was more grand than the marriage.

Qin Xiu took care of everything and built a huge carriage with countless food and items, for fear that Hua Xia would be dissatisfied and return home on the way.

As a result, he became familiar with the wife of the Duke of Chu. The wife of the Duke of Chu liked this son-in-law so much that she treated him as her own son.

Even after the little emperor in the palace was born, she took Qin Xiu to visit the empress dowager, of course, mainly to see the child.

When the court learned about this, their expressions were extremely strange.

Isn't it a bad idea for a grown man, especially the Emperor of Beiqi, to visit their newly born baby Majesty in the Nanyue Palace?

However, the Queen Mother agreed, probably intending to wait and see the monarch of Beiqi so as to consider the future situation of her children.

The ministers did not say anything more. After all, this monarch and their young Majesty were relatives, and the young Majesty was Qin Xiu's cousin?

This observation made the Duke's wife extremely envious. She couldn't let go of the child's tiny hands and feet. She turned to look at Qin Xiu and said, "You better hurry up. I want to hold my grandson sooner."

Qin Xiuqing coughed and turned his head to look elsewhere, but his ears turned red.

Seeing his appearance, the Duke's wife had a vague guess in her mind: "You... haven't consummated your marriage yet?"

Qin Xiu did not answer.

The Duke's wife understood and looked Qin Xiu up and down, thinking, this is not right? This physique...

The two people standing far away, talking nonsense, held their foreheads and looked at each other: "Your Majesty is hanging out with a woman all day, what are you talking about?"

"I do not know."

The next day, after the Duke's wife came back from going out alone without Qin Xiu, she stayed in the kitchen and was busy until dinner time.

When Hua Xia appeared at the dinner table with a sleepy look on his face, he saw the original owner's mother looking at him with a strange look and a weird smile on her face.

After Hua Xia sat down, the Duke's wife actually laughed out loud.

Hua Xia: “…”

She touched her face, turned closer to Qin Xiu and asked, "Is there something on my face? Is it funny?"

Qin Xiu looked at it carefully, then shook his head.

[Host, did you play stand-alone games too late yesterday? Do you have dark circles under your eyes?]

"No way." Hua Xia half stood up and looked in front of a bowl of soup. "No."

But I'm still very sleepy. I'll go back and take a nap after I finish eating.

No matter what Qin Xiu put in Hua Xia's bowl, Hua Xia would eat it with her eyes squinting. Suddenly, she felt a strong gaze staring at her from in front of her.

Qin Xiu raised his head and met his mother-in-law's gaze. He paused and was about to ask what was wrong when he saw the Duke's wife raise her hand and make a whispering gesture, then handed him a bowl of soup mixed with various strange things.

Qin Xiu quickly took it. The Duke's wife raised her hand and pointed at Hua Xia beside her, and mouthed: "Give it to her."

"What are you doing?" Duke Chu asked in confusion, "What good stuff?"

"Shut up and eat yours." The Duke's wife glanced at her husband, then picked up another bowl of soup and handed it to Qin Xiu.

Qin Xiu held the bowl of soup for Hua Xia without moving, wondering, "What is this?" He glanced at the two of them inexplicably, and his first reaction was to use a silver needle to test whether there was poison in Hua Xia's bowl of soup.

But even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs, so it shouldn’t be like that.

"It's for nourishing the body. Mom made it herself today. Don't worry."

Hua Xia didn't understand, so she picked up the bowl and took two sips and stopped drinking. She turned to look at Qin Xiu's bowl and was about to say something, but the latter had already finished it in front of Chu's mother.

"..."

[Host, what is this? ]

"tonic."

【......】250 felt something strange. If it was a tonic, why did the host have this expression?

After dinner, on the way back to the yard, Qin Xiu followed Hua Xia half a step behind him. As they walked, Hua Xia stopped.

"Well, you can stay in the west courtyard tonight."

"West Courtyard?" Qin Xiu frowned, "Why?"

"Aren't you hot?" Hua Xia looked back at him. At this time, Qin Xiu's exposed skin was red, from his neck to behind his ears.

"not hot."

He is still trying to make excuses. Sweat is already breaking out on his forehead.

Qin Xiu changed the subject: "It's hot, there's ice in your room."

"I'll ask Hu Shuo to send ten frames to your yard later."

"Why? I have already made a bed on the floor."

Hua Xia said seriously: "Qin Xiu, don't you feel anything now?"

"......" Qin Xiu was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked in a hoarse voice, "I'm taking Chinese medicine again?"

He swallowed silently, his eyes darkened, thinking of the bowl of strange-tasting tonic soup, but this time the feeling was completely different from the last time he took Chinese medicine.

"Hanhuan." he said.

Hua Xia didn't even blink, and raised her hand to refuse: "No, it's no use to act like a spoiled child. Let's go to the West Courtyard, go."

Qin Xiu just felt a little hot-blooded, but seeing Hua Xia's rejection without hesitation, he felt a little heartbroken. He walked closer, raised his hand and carefully hugged Hua Xia and said, "I won't do anything, just sleep on the floor."

"I promise."

Seeing that Hua Xia didn't struggle, he continued, "You've already promised to be my queen, how can a husband and wife sleep separately?"

"Is it because of Yunxuan?"

"I just knew it, um..."

"Okay, let's go back." Hua Xia covered Qin Xiu's chattering mouth and pulled him back.

[Host? I have something to say but I don’t know if I should say it or not.]

"put!"

[......] 250 choked and said quickly, [Host, you seem to be blushing too! ]

Hua Xia shouldn't have let him speak. She shook off Qin Xiu's sleeve and quickened her pace back to the yard.

After dark, Hua Xia lay on the bed fiddling with her cell phone. In her peripheral vision, she saw Qin Xiu getting up from the bed countless times, putting ice in his water and drinking it.

Around him, Hua Xia had people bring in ten boxes of ice, which formed a circle around his bed.

"Stop moving and go to sleep!"

Qin Xiu said "oh" and lay down on the floor obediently. Hua Xia glanced at him and ordered, "Turn off the lights and don't move."

"Ah."

After the oil lamp went out, Qin Xiu did not move. Hua Xia glanced at him in the dark and waited for a long time. Then, because she was too sleepy to bear it any longer, she closed her eyes and fell asleep with her back to Qin Xiu.

She didn't know that Qin Xiu opened his eyes after her breathing became shallow. In the darkness, his eyes were like a wolf staring at its prey.

After looking for a while, he suddenly turned around and faced Hua Xia.
