The next chapter begins with another scene.

=======================================

In April, Xiaoman has passed, and it is the time when the summer crops start to be watered and full, but they are not yet mature.Ru Xue is pregnant now, but her lower abdomen is not obviously protruding, but her waist is slightly thicker.She has become plump recently, and she doesn't know if it's because she's pregnant or because she ate too much of those nourishing foods.She was afraid that her husband would not like her, but Zhang Fan cared about him unabated, even more so than before, which made her feel relieved.

Recently, Zhang Fan was no longer evasive towards Zhaoxue, but because of this, Zhaoxue was a little timid, and many of the things she planned to say could not be said in front of Zhang Fan.Every time Zhang Fan leaves, she always remorsefully scolds herself for being cowardly in her heart, while Ru Xue and Yingyue laughing while watching.

Zhang Fan felt that he was living a rather leisurely life now.Originally Jinyiwei's yamen headquarters was in Tianjinwei, but Zhang Fan didn't want to go there, it would be inconvenient for him to go home.He asked people to move the yamen of Jinyiwei to the capital city, but the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty didn't know what he meant, they thought it was Long Qing's instruction, so they couldn't help panicking.When Long Qing knew about this, he didn't ask questions at all, and he didn't explain anything.This made these people very honest for a few days, and even Zhang Fan himself felt that this decision was good, so he decided on it.

Now that there is nothing wrong with the government, Gao Gong's purge of his political enemies is over, those who should be unlucky are unlucky, those who should be imprisoned are imprisoned, those who should go home have returned home, and the court has returned to its usual calm.Although the storm has passed now, there is still an aftertaste of terror among the ministers, plus Zhang Fan's move to Jinyiwei's mansion, the court is very peaceful.All things in the north are tentatively decided, and the matter of helping me to answer needs to be discussed in a long-term manner. In addition, no one comes to worry about it, and Zhang Fan brought nearly a thousand catties of cistanche, which makes Long Qing's recent life very happy.Long Yan was very happy, and he rewarded Zhang Fan with a lot of gold, stone and jade in the palace, which made Zhang Fan and the officials a little confused.

Half of April has passed, and Zhang Fan's trip to the south of the Yangtze River has been fully prepared, and he can start his journey when the auspicious day selected by the chief officer of the Qin Tianjian comes.Zhang Fan was afraid of hurting Ru Xue's body, so he has been living a life of abstinence recently. This is undoubtedly a kind of torture for a good young man who has just married, and Yingyue still unintentionally teases his desires on weekdays, Let him almost get up and solve it by himself.In addition, the weather is getting hotter now, and Zhang Fan would wander around the streets every afternoon, exhausting his excess energy by exhausting his body, but he no longer dared to go to the Dashilan area outside the front door.It wasn't because of Ru Xue, he was afraid that he couldn't help but "make" some "mistakes".

Zhu Yijun, the little prince, will be nine years old in four months. He knows that his master Zhang Fan will go to Jiangnan in a few days, so now every time Zhang Fan comes to the East Palace, he always pesters Zhang Fan. Ask Zhang Fan if he can come back on his birthday on August [-]th.Zhang Fan estimated the time, the long-voyage merchant ship will come back in June, and two months is enough time for him to complete all the things, so he promised Zhu Yijun that he would definitely come back on his birthday, and at the same time Promising Zhu Yijun to bring back some small things from Jiangnan made the little prince happy.

Another incident happened during this period. A few days ago, with Long Qing's permission, Zhu Yijun went out of the palace in a micro-service to visit Zhang Fan's mansion. He was very curious when he learned that Ru Xue was pregnant.But when Yingyue saw him having fun with Xiangmei's younger sister, Xue'er, Yingyue, who was neither big nor young, encouraged him a lot. Yes, Zhu Yijun, who returned to the palace, was in Longqing and his mother's mother. In front of everyone, she said in public that she wanted Xueer to be her concubine, and her expression and tone were unprecedentedly firm.Concubine Li Gui had never met Xue'er, but Long Qing had heard the rumors about it, and proudly recruited Zhang Fan to attack him and question him.

After returning home, Zhang Fan reprimanded Yingyue severely, which made Zhaoxue very happy.But after he discussed with his mother Zhao, Zhao immediately announced that he would accept Xiangmei and Xue'er as his goddaughters, and Zhang Fan also accepted Xue'er as his younger sister.Maybe it was because the name had the word "Xue" in it. Ruxue was very happy that this little girl she liked very much became her sister-in-law, and Mrs. Zhao was also very happy to have such a lovely goddaughter.Among all the people, maybe only Xiangmei was a little unhappy, always looking at Zhang Fan with a trace of reluctance in her eyes.No one noticed this little detail except Yingyue, but Yingyue found that Xiangmei's regret gradually dissipated, and she was really like a sister to a brother to Zhang Fan, so she didn't tell the truth.

The Zhang family can be described as having double happiness recently. First, Ru Xue was pregnant, and then the Zhao family had two beautiful daughters.These two incidents spread to the outside world, and many people came to congratulate them.Zhang Fan had no choice but to set up a banquet at home to thank everyone.At the banquet that day, Zhu Yijun also came to join in the fun, but this time he was not in a modest suit, but was coming to the door as his own prince, and there was also a reward from Long Qing, which once again everyone saw Zhang Fan The status in Long Qing's heart.

During the banquet, everyone made a toast to Zhang Fan.Because it was to celebrate Zhang Fan's family affairs, and many female relatives would come, so Zhang Fan had to prepare another banquet for those female relatives.The protagonist, Xiangmei, was also present, and Ru Xue didn't drink much because she was pregnant, but Mrs. Zhao happily made an exception and drank a few glasses.

The four cabinet ministers also arrived, and Zhang Fan could clearly see that Gao Yi and Zhang Juzheng were getting closer.After drinking for three rounds, the five people saw some tricks. They all saw that the prince was very close to Zhang Fan's new god-sister Xue'er.Li Chunfang and Gao Gong naturally knew what they were doing, they smiled and stopped asking, and continued drinking.On the contrary, Guo Pu and Gao Yi were very envious of Zhang Fan when they saw it.As Zhang Fan's teacher, Zhang Juzheng was not polite, asking Zhang Fan with his eyes.Zhang Fan didn't speak, just nodded, and pointed his right index finger slightly upwards, Zhang Juzheng knew it well, and stopped asking.

When the banquet was counted, many ministers left.Zhu Yijun went back early because the Forbidden City had access control time. The little girl Xueer watched Zhu Yijun go back with some reluctance. disappointment.Seeing this scene, everyone warmly congratulated Zhang Fan.

Gao Yi even relied on the fact that she and Zhang Fan drank flowers and wine together, and came to him and said very intimately: "Brother Zhang is really enviable. I can't help but the current emperor loves you very much, and you will have a bright future in the future." Ah!" This guy seemed to be drinking too much, and started talking nonsense.

Zhang Fan did not reply to his words, but ordered his servants to help him out of the mansion.

After it was over, the servants were packing their things, and Zhang Fan wanted to go back to his room to rest, but he ran into Zhaoxue on the way.

"Brother-in-law..." Zhaoxue blushed and spoke intermittently, obviously because she had drunk too much.

Seeing that she was about to fall down, Zhang Fan couldn't care less, and hurried forward to support her.Zhaoxue fell into his arms, looked at his face for a long time, and then said: "This is the first time you hug me."

After Zhang Fan heard her words, he didn't know what to say, but Zhaoxue said, "Brother-in-law, I...I don't want to call you brother-in-law, I want you to call me Xueer like sister." After waiting for a long time, Zhaoxue Before Zhang Fan could say these two words, she shed sad tears and said, "Why are you my brother-in-law!"

Zhang Fan looked at the beautiful woman in his arms, but couldn't bear her to be sad anymore, so he said, "Xue...Xue'er."

These two words were not loud, nor did they carry any emotion, they were just said by Zhang Fan to comfort her.But when Zhaoxue heard it, she heard the sound of a fairy. There were still tears on her face, but she showed a happy expression, and said, "You are finally willing to call me that."

Zhang Fan looked at her beautiful face, the expression of finally turning the clouds to see the sunrise made him very sad.He no longer struggled in his heart and decided to accept this love.Gradually, Zhang Fan stretched his arms and hugged Zhaoxue's tender body tightly into his arms.

Zhaoxue was in Zhang Fan's arms, feeling the warmth of his chest, and her somewhat cold heart gradually warmed up, and tears flowed from her eyes, but this time was completely different from before.

"Why are you crying again?" Zhang Fan said.Looking at the face of the beautiful woman in his arms, he gently wiped away her tears.

"No, I... Zhaoxue is so happy." Zhaoxue's happy voice came.Tonight she drank a lot of wine to build up her courage, and then she dared to block Zhang Fan's way to confess to him.Now that she got the answer, she was so happy that she no longer had the strength.

Zhang Fan immediately helped her up and said, "Why did you drink so much, I'll take you back to your room."

Zhaoxue let Zhang Fan help her to the door of her room, thinking that it was the first time he stepped into her door, she felt a burst of joy in her heart.

Zhang Fan also entered Zhaoxue's boudoir for the first time, and felt that the decoration here was very girlish, completely different from Zhaoxue's aggressive temperament. "Maybe this is the real Zhaoxue." Zhang Fan said in his heart.

Helping Zhaoxue to sit down on her boudoir bed, Zhang Fan just wanted to call someone to wait for her to undress and rest, but Zhaoxue stopped her, and her voice came: "Brother Fan, don't let others come."

"But you should take off your clothes and rest." Zhang Fan looked at her tenderly and said, "You can't do it by yourself now, what should you do if you don't ask someone to come?"

"I want Brother Fan to help me undress." Zhaoxue said, with affirmation in her shy words.

Zhang Fan thought it was her joke, but when he saw the trace of emotion in Zhaoxue's eyes, he knew she was serious.Without saying anything, Zhang Fan began to undress her.

The sky in April has gradually warmed up, and Zhaoxue didn't wear much clothes.With a veil and coat, Zhaoxue's blue bellyband was exposed, and a pair of mandarin ducks playing in water were embroidered on it, which was a bit embarrassing for an unmarried girl.Zhang Fan didn't know that Zhaoxue embroidered it on it to comfort her missing him.Although she was a bit shy, she didn't hide it, and boldly showed her almost completely exposed back and the slightly exposed flesh on her chest to the eyes of her beloved.

Zhang Fan also looked dry, but he didn't stop what he was doing.He took off the embroidered shoes for Zhaoxue, and held her wonderful feet in his hands.Although the two sisters Ruxue and Zhaoxue were born into rich families, their mothers loved them so much that they didn't let them bind their feet, so Chen Wenchuan followed them.And Zhaoxue's wonderful feet are just like Ruxue's, small and exquisite, crystal clear like jade, even better than her sister's.Zhang Fan put them in his hands and played with them, which made Zhaoxue extremely shy.Women in ancient times cherished their feet more than their chastity, and even some women would not let their husbands play with their feet after they got married.But Zhaoxue did not flinch.

After a long time, Zhang Fan let go of these jade feet that he couldn't put it down.Standing up, Zhang Fan was a little embarrassed, looked at Zhaoxue with embarrassment, and asked, "Xue'er, do you really want it? I think it's better to let the servant girl come."

"Brother Fan is an idiot." Zhaoxue showed her aggressive temper, and scolded, "Isn't it because they saw you calling the maids here now?"

Zhang Fan thought about it too, he put his hand on Zhaoxue's waist in a little embarrassment, feeling the slender waist and smooth skin at the same time, he also felt Zhaoxue's body trembling slightly.He made up his mind, closed his eyes and took off Zhaoxue's skirt, then stood there without opening his eyes again.

"Brother Fan, look at Xue'er." Zhaoxue's voice came.

Zhang Fan couldn't bear it anymore and opened his eyes.Zhaoxue, who was only wearing obscene pants and a bellyband, was lying on the bed, looking at him shyly from the front.She didn't cover it, and just exposed most of her skin in front of Zhang Fan, as if tempting him to do something.

Zhang Fan really felt that the blood flow in his body was accelerating again. After many days of abstinence, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist after a while, so he hurriedly pulled the quilt to cover Zhaoxue's beautiful skin, and felt relieved. in one breath.While my heart was at peace, I was suddenly a little disappointed, and the joke of "beasts are inferior" suddenly popped up in my mind. "It seems that I'm really 'better than a beast'!" Zhang Fan said in his heart.

Looking at Zhaoxue, his eyes gradually closed, Zhang Fan was about to leave, but was caught by Zhaoxue's jade arms.Seeing Zhaoxue's confused look, Zhang Fan returned to the bed and kissed her red lips that smelled of wine.Sitting by the bed, she didn't leave until Zhaoxue fell asleep.

Outside the door, Yingyue was waiting for him at the door of her own room.Seeing Yingyue, Zhang Fan was a little embarrassed, but Yingyue smiled at him, turned and went back to the room, but she didn't close the door, as if she was inviting Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan made up his mind, finally resisted the temptation, and went back to accompany Ru Xue to rest.
