The next morning, Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan went to the dining hall for breakfast as usual.
Soon, Tang Guixi arrived.
Tang Guixi was wearing a simple apricot-colored dress and no makeup. There were only two simple silver hairpins on her head. Other than the red jade bracelet on her wrist, she had no other accessories.
She strode to the table and sat down. Her face was rosy and lustrous, and she was in a good mood with a smile on her lips. She looked like she should have had a happy wedding night last night.
Yu Niaoniao was about to ask where Shen Xu was when she saw him limp in with his hand on his lower back.
He frowned and looked pained. He looked uncomfortable.
Yu Niaoniao’s gaze darted back and forth between Shen Xu and Tang Guixi. She could not help but make a bold guess—
Could it be that Tang Guixi’s performance last night was too brave and squeezed Shen Xu dry, causing him to become like this? Tang Guixi noticed Yu Niaoniao’s gaze and could not help but ask.
“Why are you looking at me?”
Yu Niaoniao placed one hand on the table and leaned over with her upper body. She lowered her voice and reminded him.
“Shen Xu’s body is weak. Take it easy. Don’t scare him away.”
Tang Guixi nodded. “He’s quite weak. I’ll get the kitchen to stew some chicken soup for him later.”
Yu Niaoniao glanced at Shen Xu’s hand on the back of his waist and said meaningfully, “I’m afraid chicken soup alone is not enough. I think we can get some other supplements.”
Tang Guixi asked humbly, “What supplement do you think is better?”
Yu Niaoniao said, “I think anything that can strengthen the Yang and nourish the kidneys should be fine.”
A question mark slowly appeared above Tang Guixi’s head. “Enhancing Yang and nourishing the kidneys?”
Shen Xu, who had heard their conversation, was speechless.
He gritted his teeth hard. “My kidneys are very good. I don’t need nourishment!”
Yu Niaoniao was very surprised. “You heard everything?”
Shen Xu said, “I’m not deaf!”
Yu Niaoniao chuckled. “I’m sorry. I was just saying. Don’t take it to heart. Come, come, let’s eat!”
The more she tried to gloss over it, the angrier Shen Xu became.
“Don’t patronize me. I’m serious. I don’t need to nourish my kidneys! The reason I held my waist was because I accidentally fell last night and happened to fall where my waist was.” Yu Niaoniao nodded. “Yes, yes, I understand.” Shen Xu said, “Be serious!” Yu Niaoniao blinked innocently. “I’m very serious.”
Shen Xu was speechless.
Ahhh, he was so angry!
He turned to look at Tang Guixi. “You can help me prove that I’m telling the truth, right?”
Tang Guixi had a meat bun in her mouth and was reaching for the porridge. When she heard this, she nodded and made a muffled sound in her throat.
“Yes, yes, it’s true.”
only tnen did snen Xu reel better.
He said to Yu Niaoniao as if he was showing off his might.
“Did you hear what Guixi said?”
Yu Niaoniao replied casually, “Yes, yes.”
Then, she said to Xiao Juan, “Help me roll a spring pancake. Put more vegetables and less sauce.”
Xiao Juan agreed and skillfully rolled a spring pancake before handing it to Niaoniao.
Niaoniao took a big bite and smiled happily.
Seeing this, Shen Xu was not to be outdone.
He also rolled up a large spring pancake and handed it to Tang Guixi.
“Wife, eat.”
Xiao Juan was not the only one in this world who knew how to dote on his wife. He knew how to do so too!
Tang Guixi had just finished eating the meat bun and was about to eat porridge. When she heard this, she said, “I’ll roll it up myself if I want to eat it. You can eat it yourself.”
Shen Xu looked straight at her and stubbornly refused to put down the spring pancake.
Tang Guixi could see a pitiful expression on his face.
She sighed and resigned herself to it.
Forget it. After all, he was her man. It did not matter if she doted on him a little.
Hence, Tang Guixi revealed a doting expression and took the spring pancake.
“Thank you, Xu. ”
Shen Xu was speechless.
Why did he feel like their roles had been reversed?
After breakfast, Tang Guixi ran to see her precious goddaughter. As the new godfather, Shen Xu naturally had to follow.
Granny Xiu Yan found a nanny for Xiao Yining, but most of the time, Yu Niaoniao was still breastfeeding the child herself.
At this moment, Granny Xiu Yan and the nanny were playing with Xiao Yining. When they saw Yu Niaoniao and the others arrive, they immediately went forward to greet them.
Tang Guixi picked Xiao Yining up from the cradle and kissed her fair and tender face.
“My little Fubao, godmother is here to see you. Are you happy?
Xiao Yining waved her short arms and smiled.
Her eyebrows looked like Yu Niaoniao’s to begin with. When she smiled, they looked even more similar.
Tang Guixi exclaimed exaggeratedly, “Wow, wow! Little Fubao is smiling.
Looks like Little Fubao is very happy!”
She carried Xiao Yining to Shen Xu and introduced him seriously.
“Little Fubao, do you see that? This is your godfather. He’ll love you well with me in the future.”
This was not the first time Shen Xu had seen Xiao Yining, but it was the first time he had seen her as her godfather.
He took out a small purse from his sleeve. Inside the purse was a pair of silver bracelets specially made for children. The workmanship was very exquisite and small.
“Come, this is a greeting gift from Godfather to Little Fubao.”
Yu Niaoniao accepted the greeting gift for Xiao Yining.
In order to express his gratitude, Xiao Yining spat a large saliva bubble at Shen xu.
Granny Xiu Yan quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe Xiao Yining’s mouth.
Tang Guixi looked at her precious goddaughter and liked her more and more.
She could not let such a cute goddaughter end up with outsiders. She and Shen Xu had to work harder and strive to have a son as soon as possible so that he could marry Little Fubao in the future.
A group of people surrounded Little Fubao and teased her.
As they chatted and laughed, a general knocked on the door.
He stood at the door and said respectfully, “General Tang, there’s an imperial edict from the Imperial Capital.”
Everyone in the room was stunned.
Tang Guixi’s smile gradually disappeared.
It was definitely not a good thing to receive an imperial edict at this time.
She returned Little Fu Bao to Yu Niaoniao and asked, “Where is he?”
The general answered truthfully, “He’s waiting in the front hall.”
Tang Guixi strode out, followed by Shen Xu.
Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan looked at each other and decided to follow and take a look.
They handed the child to Granny Xiu Yan and quickly followed.
When they arrived at the front hall, they realized that the person escorting the imperial edict was actually an acquaintance. It was the Vice General of the Sky Wolf Guards, Wei Liao, whom they had not seen for a long time.
Wei Liao was sitting and drinking tea. When he saw them arrive, he slowly put down his teacup and stood up with a smile.
“Duke Lang, Princess Consort, long time no see. How have you been?”
Yu Niaoniao could not help but ask, “Why is it you?”
Wei Liao asked, “Why can’t it be me?”
Yu Niaoniao was silent.
She had thought that she would never see Wei Liao again after they parted in the Imperial Capital.
She did not expect to see him again.
Wei Liao’s gaze lingered on her face. She didn’t look much different from before, but if one looked closely, one would notice that she had changed a lot. Come to think of it, after all, she’d been through, anyone would have changed.
Tang Guixi asked, “Didn’t you say there was an Imperial Edict?”
Wei Liao took out an imperial edict from his sleeve. “The Imperial Edict is here. County Lord Xiangtai, please accept it..”
