Chapter 377 Sending the Jade Card
Sihe responded and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, this secret letter..."
Xiao Fengyi's gaze fell on the secret letter again, and his eyes became deep and complicated.
He put down the ginseng soup bowl in his hand, slowly stretched out his hand, and gently stroked the seal of the secret letter with his fingertips.
Finally, he took a deep breath, exerted force with his fingertips, and easily broke the sealed wax seal.
Just a few words made his face turn red and his chest surge with jealousy.
"You are pregnant and you are still doing this. It's really outrageous."
Sihe was slightly stunned. Having followed Xiao Fengyi for many years, he naturally understood his feelings towards Yao Jia and reminded him, "Your Majesty, won't you go and take care of it?"
Xiao Fengyi pursed his lips slightly and looked at him unhappily.
Sihe lowered his head in panic.
Xiao Fengyi withdrew his gaze and lit the secret letter with the candlelight.
As the flames flickered, the lines of handwriting gradually turned to ashes and drifted away with the wind, as if the jealousy and uneasiness in his heart had also dissipated a little.
She closed her eyes slightly. He was not related to her, so it was not his business to care about her and she had no reason to be jealous.
"Forget it, Huaiyu will take care of it."
He muttered to himself, then stood up, walked to the window, pushed open the window frame, and the night breeze blew on his face, bringing a hint of coolness, which made him much more sober.
The moonlight was like water, sprinkling all over the imperial city. It was peaceful and tranquil, but it could not conceal the ups and downs in people's hearts.
The stars moved, a night passed, and the morning light shone through the gauze curtains, casting patches of light into the house.
Perhaps because he was too tired in the dream, Nangong Xiu Lan woke up later than Yao Jia, which was rare.
As soon as he opened his eyes and met Yao Jia's smiling peach blossom eyes, her charming and alluring appearance in the dream once again impacted his mind.
Her face instantly blushed, and she coughed softly, "How do you feel?"
My throat is so hoarse.
Yao Jia chuckled softly, and her soft and tender hands slowly reached into the quilt.
"I'm fine, but why haven't you let go of your anger yet? Why are you still so strong?"
His body froze for a moment. He coughed lightly and took her hand away from under him, feeling extremely embarrassed.
"Yaoyao, don't mess around, your health is important."
The smile in Yao Jia's eyes grew even wider, her fingertips went around his hand and lightly touched his slightly red cheek, her voice carrying a hint of playfulness and tenderness.
"I was just teasing you. Look how nervous you are. Since you lost, you can't stop me from doing whatever I want in my dream."
Nangong Xiu Lan sighed softly, then stood up and put on his clothes.
"Let Mingjue take your pulse. If there is nothing wrong, I will not interfere."
As he spoke, he was already dressed and looked back at Yao Jia, who was still lying on the bed with a smile on her face, his eyes full of tenderness and helplessness.
Yao Jia stretched lazily, the spring beauty in her body spoke for itself.
She threw the jade token under the pillow to him with a beautiful smile.
"Don't worry, I'm more nervous about my body than anyone else."
"Is this the 'Life is Like a Dream' that you mentioned before?" Nangong Xiu Lan ran his fingertips across the special runes on the silver plate.
"Yes, once the floating life is opened and you are immersed in the dream, the dream weaver can control the dream at will without any effect on the body. You keep this jade token. If you lose it, I will not make you another one."
Yao Jia sat up, her long black hair cascading down like a waterfall, adding a bit of laziness and charm.
"You use this talisman only for sexual intercourse?"
Yao Jia paused as she casually fiddled with her hair and said coquettishly, "How is that possible? Am I really a person who is blinded by lust in your heart?"
"Of course not." Nangong Xiulan stepped forward quickly, took her hand, and explained hurriedly, "Yaoyao, don't misunderstand me. I have never thought of you like this."
Seeing his anxious look, Yao Jia couldn't help but chuckle, and the cunning between her eyebrows became even more cunning, but she couldn't bear to tease him anymore, and said softly: "Okay, I know you don't mean that."
She lowered her head and touched her slightly bulging belly. "I haven't practiced martial arts much since I got pregnant. If I practice hard in my dreams, maybe after I give birth to the child, my martial arts skills will be better than Anan's."
Nangong Xiu Lan felt relieved when he heard this, and his face regained its usual warmth.
He gently scratched the tip of Yao Jia's nose and said lovingly, "So that's how it is. Can practicing martial arts in a dream really achieve the desired effect?"
"You'll know if you try it."
He followed the same method to make several similar jade tokens and gave them to several other people.
They just asked Gu Xiyan to hand over the method of dual cultivation of Hehuan Gong, but he refused.
Yao Jia ignored him for a while.
After abstaining from sex for more than half a year, I finally got to taste her again, and I was addicted to it.
What's more, dreaming doesn't consume any physical energy, and Yao Jia is also extremely cooperative, which makes him even more unable to stop and wish he could immerse himself in it every night.
Had to compromise.
In just over two months, Yao Jia's internal strength has improved a lot.
At the end of October, autumn is in full swing, leaves are falling, and Kyoto is covered in golden color.
In the back garden of Nangong Mansion, chrysanthemums are in full bloom, competing for beauty.
Bai Huahua and Huaichuan were playing chess, while Ye Sinan was teasing the white cat Bobo with a chicken feather stick. He would point his finger at Huaichuan from time to time, and occasionally receive a cold stare from Bai Huahua.
"The milk tea is ready. Come over here and try it. How is it this time?"
Yuzhi was holding a tray with five or six tea bowls on it. He greeted everyone and handed Yaojia a bowl of milk tea specially made for her.
"Brother Ming said you can't eat sweets recently, so this cup only has red beans and peanuts in it."
Yao Jia took it and touched her round pregnant belly, "Zhi is really thoughtful, thank you."
Take a sip, the temperature of the milk tea is just right, the warmth flows into the heart and dispels some of the autumn chill.
Bai Huahua came over, picked up a cup of milk tea, sipped it, and sighed, "In a few days, Langyue and Princess Anhe will be back. By then, what will happen to Nangong Mansion without you?"
Ever since An He replaced Xiao Fengyi to guard the imperial mausoleum, Lin Ruyi had to go to Tianxing Pavilion to teach every day. In the huge princess mansion, only Xi Zhihuan was left.
He had no relatives in Kyoto, so he followed Lin Ruyi's example and came to Nangong Mansion to eat for free.
At first, Bai Huahua was very disgusted. After all, she was openly mocked by Xizhi for her age, so naturally she didn't have a good impression of him.
However, after a month of getting along, Bai Huahua discovered that this boy was not as frivolous and rude as he had appeared at the beginning, but was rather witty and humorous.
He had deep respect and gratitude for Yao Jia, and could often make everyone in the mansion laugh.
Gradually, Bai Huahua naturally let go of her prejudice against him. From being distant at first to becoming close later, the two of them have become good friends who can talk about anything.
Bai Huahua will teach Xi Zhihuan the ways of housekeeping, and as a thank you, Xi Zhihuan will make some rare food with Liang State characteristics for everyone.
For example, milk tea, cakes, and those colorful and unique-tasting exotic desserts.
It adds a touch of exotic flavor to Nangong Mansion.
Whenever these delicacies come out of the oven, they always attract the admiration and attention of everyone in the mansion. Even Lin Congmo and others would occasionally come to taste them.
Bai Huahua was of course reluctant to let him go when she thought about him leaving.
Ye Sinan snorted and walked over holding Bobo.
"I really can't bear to let him go. Why don't you just go back to the princess's mansion with him and be his good brother for life."
They've only known each other for a few days, but their relationship is actually better than that of his own brother.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Bai Huahua's face, and then she laughed and scolded: "Anan, you are getting more and more unforgiving with your mouth. I was just expressing my feelings. After all, we have been getting along very happily during this period of time."
"You two are so happy that you are almost one person."
"you……"
Seeing the two brothers quarreling because of him, Xizhi hurriedly handed Ye Sinan a cup of milk tea with a sincere look on his face.
"Brother Nan, this cup contains peach blossom wine, specially prepared for you."
As the saying goes, you shouldn't hit a smiling person. Ye Sinan is a person who responds to soft words and not to tough ones, and he lost his temper in an instant.
He took the milk tea and sat next to Yao Jia to drink it.
Yao Jia tried to hold back her laughter, as she knew that Yu Zhi was indeed a man who was very good at observing people's expressions.
She is now seven months pregnant.
In addition to practicing inner strength every day, he is also keen on collecting various small clothes and toys for his unborn baby.
Lin Congmo would often dig out some toys that Yaojia played with before she was three years old from the warehouse.
Just then, when I turned around, I saw Gu Yi directing the servants and carrying a large box towards this side.
Following behind him was Gu Xiyan, who was dressed in court robes.
"Why did you come back early today?"
Normally, after leaving court, Gu Xiyan would go straight to the Baiji merchant ship, but today was an exception, so Yao Jia was naturally curious.
Gu Xiyan patted the big box on the ground and said, "After the court session, His Majesty kept me for a while and asked me to give this to you."
