n

nA real bargain or not, Liu Suifeng prepared what Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou needed before he left.

nApart from the portion for Stony, he made dozens of extra ones.

nAs for how these portions should be used, it was up to Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou.

n

n

nLong Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou left with Liu Suifeng, but they didn’t go to the general’s mansion. Instead, they went to see Ouyang Chuan, who had a small accident the other day when he cultivated internal strength. Now he was recuperating at home. He was not feeling well.

nLiu Suifeng had intended to stay home and take care of him this day, but Ouyang Chuan thought Liu Suifeng was disturbing him, so he chased him out.

nThis was why Liu Suifeng opened the clinic today.

nOtherwise, he would not have worked this day.

n

n

nOuyang Chuan was resting when Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou arrived.

nThey followed Liu Suifeng into the room.

nOuyang Chuan sat up at sight of Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou.

n“Why are you here?”

n

n

nLong Xiaoyuan said, “We come to see you.”

nOuyang Chuan looked at Long Xiaoyuan suspiciously. “Are you so nice? If I remember correctly, today there seems to be the celebration for Stony turning one month old.”

nLong Xiaoyuan smiled. “You have a good memory.”

nOuyang Chuan rolled his eyes. “It’s not a matter of good memory. You like to fool others as if they are idiots.”

nLong Xiaoyuan sat down on the chair in the room. More than that, he pulled Shi Qingzhou over and sat him down.

nHe felt totally at home.

n

n

nAll the lands in the world belonged to the emperor, and all the human in the world were his people.

nIt was natural that he felt at home everywhere.

nLong Xiaoyuan poured himself a glass of water after he got seated.

nMoreover, he did not forget to pour Shi Qingzhou a glass of water.

nAfter he finished drinking, Ouyang Chuan stood up.

nLong Xiaoyuan said, “Let’s go to the general’s mansion together.”

nOuyang Chuan did not refuse, nodding.

nLiu Suifeng was a little worried. “Are you sure you’re okay?”

n

n

nOuyang Chuan rolled his eyes at Liu Suifeng. “Of course.”

n“Alright.” Liu Suifeng did not say anything else. He agreed after he felt Ouyang Chuan’s pulse.

nLong Xiaoyuan was confused. “How did the accident happen?”

nOuyang Chuan said, “I was not concentrating. Thankfully there is no big problem.”

nLong Xiaoyuan couldn’t help but sigh. “It’s really dangerous to cultivate internal power…”

nEveryone was speechless.

nIn the end, Liu Suifeng cleared his throat and said, “Usually, there aren’t any problems. We just need to pay attention.”

nLong Xiaoyuan blinked and looked at Ouyang Chuan.

n“Do you hear that? This is the result that you don’t pay attention to!”

nOuyang Chuan was annoyed.

nShi Qingzhou interrupted, “Come on, stop talking nonsense. Let’s go.”

nThey listened to him and went straight to the general’s mansion.

nThis day, the general’s mansion hummed with activities.

n

n

nFrom the afternoon until evening, guests kept coming and going.

nIn the beginning, Shi Qingshan didn’t want to attract attention, so he kept a low profile.

nHowever, the Emperor and the Empress disagreed, so Shi Qingshan could only give a grand party for the purpose of establishing the position of the baby in the general’s mansion. Stony would be the heir.

nOf course, no matter how grand this party was, it would not be better than that of the prince.

nIt was grand among the officials.

nThe ministers were smart, and they knew the status of the Shi family.

nAs long as the Empress was favored and the Emperor was in power, the Shi family’s glory would continue.

nTherefore, the officials naturally came to the party.

nAfter the cleansing campaign, there was no big problem with the officials’ conduct.

nThose with problem had been punished or dismissed. As a result, the rest were fine.

nOf course, there might be hidden schemes, but overall it was unlikely.

nAt least, these officials in the Imperial City were unlikely.

nAlthough they had no big problems, it did not mean that they were stupid.

nThey always went after the profit and avoided the harm.

nTherefore, it was not surprising that the general’s mansion was bustling.

nLong Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou did not come out to meet the guests. If they were there, even the officials wouldn’t have a good time.

nLong Xiaoyuan was well aware of this since he came from modern times, so he would not dampen their spirit with his presence.

nOtherwise, the guests would be intimidated.

nTherefore, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou stayed in the backyard.

nMadam Shi was with them.

nEven though it was a party for her son, she was a woman after all, and she had been recuperating for only a month. She didn’t need to go out and meet the guests.

nTherefore, she stayed behind and entertained Long Xiaoyuan.

nThe baby was taken out and showed to the guests when the party started, and he was carried back with the excuse of feeding him. Now he was with Shi Qingzhou.

nLiu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan were very interested in the baby, and they had been amusing him.

nLong Xiaoyuan couldn’t help but say, “Why don’t you have a baby?”

nLiu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan were instantly annoyed.

n“What are you talking about? Why don’t you have a baby? We’re men, so how can we have a baby?” Liu Suifeng shouted angrily.

nOuyang Chuan nodded. “That’s right. Try and have a baby yourself. If you can have one, I’ll have one.”

n“We have a son, the crown prince,” Long Xiaoyuan said innocently.

nLiu Suifeng was helpless. “We are talking about different things.”

n“What is different? I say he is our son, and he is our son. You don’t need to give birth to a baby if you want one. Go and adopt a baby that you like. It will be close to you if you bring it up.”

nLiu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan exchanged a glance and pondered.

nPerhaps Long Xiaoyuan was right.

nHowever, raising children was difficult, and they didn’t seem to be ready.

nThe two of them exchanged a glance, and in the end, they didn’t continue the topic.

nWhen Long Xiaoyuan was almost through with dinner, Stony started to cry.

nLong Xiaoyuan hurriedly said, “What’s wrong? Is he hungry?”

nMadam Shi said, “It’s possible. Excuse me.”

n“Mother, go ahead. Don’t worry about us. We’ll go back later.”

nMadam Shi nodded. “Alright. Take care on the way back.”

nShi Qingzhou stood up. “Mother, I’ll walk you there.”

n“No need.” Madam Shi hurriedly waved her hand. “I’m right behind here. You don’t need to do that.”

n“Okay.” Shi Qingzhou didn’t insist.

nAfter Madam Shi left, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou did not stay in the general’s mansion for long.

nLiu Suifeng’s gifts were received, and the baby was wearing one of them. Long Xiaoyuan put two on Shi Qingzhou.

nShi Qingzhou wanted to refuse, but Long Xiaoyuan insisted.

nAfter they left the general’s mansion, Long Xiaoyuan walked with Shi Qingzhou on the road, hand in hand, instead of taking the carriage.

nThey walked on the road.

nShi Qingzhou said, “It is a long distance from the palace. Are you sure you can walk all the way back?”

nLong Xiaoyuan said indifferently, “Of course. Don’t worry.”

nShi Qingzhou smiled and didn’t say anything else.

nLong Xiaoyuan did walk all the way back.

nLong Xiaoyuan didn’t complain that he was tired. Shi Qingzhou walked with him. The two of them didn’t walk very fast.

nBy the time they returned to the palace, it was already very late, but both of them were happy.

nThey didn’t drink in the general’s mansion, and Long Xiaoyuan felt like a drink when he returned to the palace.

n“Qingzhou, it’s a rare happy day today. Let’s drink some wine.”

nShi Qingzhou looked at him. “Is it rare?”

n“Yeah, it’s rare to be happy.” Long Xiaoyuan giggled.

nShi Qingzhou said, “You’ve been very happy recently.”

nLong Xiaoyuan pouted. “So what? Anyway, I feel like drinking today.”

nShi Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan and gave in helplessly. “Okay, let’s drink. Where do you want to drink?”

n“Of course in the yard. It’s romantic there.”

n“Romantic?” Shi Qingzhou said with a faint smile. “We are like an old married couple, and we don’t need any romance.”

n“Nonsense.” Long Xiaoyuan was displeased. He pulled Shi Qingzhou over to sit on his lap. “Qingzhou, you are still young. How could you think that way? Besides, no matter how old you are, I will give you all my romance. Qingzhou, don’t worry.”

nShi Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan. “I’m not worried about anything. What is there to worry about?”

n“Yes, yes.” Long Xiaoyuan smiled and kissed Shi Qingzhou’s lips. “Qingzhou, you don’t have to worry about anything. We will lead our life like this.”

nShi Qingzhou smiled slightly and said indifferently, “Okay.”

nThe Shadow Guardians quickly brought over the wine. Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou sat opposite each other. In addition to the wine, the Shadow Guardians prepared some dishes.

nLong Xiaoyuan didn’t want to drink wine only, afraid of hurting his stomach, and he was even more afraid of hurting Shi Qingzhou’s stomach!

nTherefore, Long Xiaoyuan fed Shi Qingzhou a lot of food while drinking.

nShi Qingzhou had eaten a lot in the general’s mansion, and his belly bulged when he was fed like this by Long Xiaoyuan. He frowned.

nLong Xiaoyuan smiled. “Qingzhou, you look so beautiful.”

nShi Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan in frustration.

n“My belly is bulging. How can you say that?”

nLong Xiaoyuan grinned. “You look good no matter what.”

nShi Qingzhou rolled his eyes and ignored Long Xiaoyuan.

nLong Xiaoyuan got a little drunk.

nHe pulled Shi Qingzhou into the room.

nShi Qingzhou followed him.

nLong Xiaoyuan dragged Shi Qingzhou to the big bed once they got into the room.

nWhen they got in the big bed, Long Xiaoyuan pressed Shi Qingzhou on the bed.

nShi Qingzhou frowned as he felt uncomfortable. Long Xiaoyuan giggled foolishly. “Qingzhou.”

nShi Qingzhou was speechless. “Yes?”

nLong Xiaoyuan pinched Shi Qingzhou’s cheek the way he pinched Stony.

nHe loved the soft touch.

n“Qingzhou, Qingzhou.”

nShi Qingzhou couldn’t help panting. “Let go of me first. Let’s go take a bath. You’re stinking.”

n“Okay.” Long Xiaoyuan was quite docile. He went to take a bath with Shi Qingzhou.

nShi Qingzhou pulled a wry face.

nLong Xiaoyuan followed Shi Qingzhou to the bathroom, where Shi Qingzhou bathed Long Xiaoyuan and himself.

nAfterwards, they got back to their room.

nWhen Shi Qingzhou thought that Long Xiaoyuan was going to do something, Long Xiaoyuan rubbed against him and fell asleep.

nShi Qingzhou was speechless.

nLong Xiaoyuan aroused him, but he fell asleep. Shi Qingzhou was cross.

nIn the end, Shi Qingzhou wrapped himself with the blanket and fell asleep.

nThe next morning, Long Xiaoyuan didn’t get up as usual.

nShi Qingzhou opened his eyes slightly and then continued to sleep.

nWhen Long Xiaoyuan woke up, it was after breakfast time.

nLong Xiaoyuan was surprised when he saw the sky outside. “It’s so late?”

nShi Qingzhou yawned lazily and got up.

nLong Xiaoyuan felt a sharp pain in his head when he got up, so he rubbed it.

nShi Qingzhou turned to Long Xiaoyuan and massaged his head.

n“I told you not to drink, but you didn’t listen to me. Look, now you have a hangover.”

nLong Xiaoyuan pouted with grievance.

n“Qingzhou, you can’t blame me.”

nShi Qingzhou glanced at him with a faint smile. “Well, I can’t blame you. Then who should I blame?”

nLong Xiaoyuan was speechless and didn’t know what to say.

nShi Qingzhou said, “You will feel much better after you drink some tea and have breakfast.”

n“Okay.” Long Xiaoyuan nodded. He looked very docile. He looked pitiful as a man.

nShi Qingzhou sighed helplessly.

nAt breakfast, Long Xiaoyuan had two bowls of porridge, so did Shi Qingzhou.

nLong Xiaoyuan had the tea after breakfast.

nLong Huan came when Long Xiaoyuan finished drinking the tea.

n“Emperor Father, Empress Father, is the baby cute?”

nLong Huan ranked as Stony’s junior.

nHowever, Long Huan didn’t want to call the baby Uncle at all, so he always called him baby.

nLong Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou did not say anything.

nLong Huan would be the emperor in the future. He didn’t need to call Stony Uncle.

nHowever, it was fun to tease Long Huan on this.

nLong Xiaoyuan said, “What baby? Be polite! You have to call him Uncle.”

nLong Huan struggled.

n“Emperor Father, do I have to call him Uncle? He’s so small. I don’t want to do that.”

n“You don’t want to do that?” Long Xiaoyuan said, “Why? No matter how young he is, he is your uncle.”

nLong Huan said sullenly, “Oh, I got it.”

nShi Qingzhou stroked Long Huan’s head with a smile.

n“Come on. Your Emperor Father is teasing you. You can call him baby, or Stony. It’s fine.”

n“Really?” Long Huan’s eyes lit up. “Can I call him Stony?”

n“Yes.” Shi Qingzhou nodded.

n“Great!” Long Huan nodded happily. “I will call him Stony from now on! This name is really nice.”

nLong Xiaoyuan pouted. “What’s so nice about a name given by an uneducated man?”

n“What did you say?” Shi Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan gloomily.

nLong Xiaoyuan quickly sat up straight and said seriously. “Of course it’s a nice name. General Shi is a very well-educated man, and he gives nice names. Huanhuan, learn more from General Shi. Your Empress Father is excellent, and he was taught by General Shi.” Long Xiaoyuan said seriously, and Long Huan took it seriously.

n“Emperor Father, I got it. I will definitely do that.”

nLong Xiaoyuan was very satisfied with his son’s sensibility. He smiled and nodded. “Good.”

nShi Qingzhou rolled his eyes. He was really worried that Long Xiaoyuan would lead the son astray.

nFortunately, the son had teachers, so there was no need to worry about anything.

nAfter a short conversation, Long Xiaoyuan asked Long Huan to leave.

nAlthough the child was young, it was time for him to take lessons. After all, the burden and responsibility on his shoulders would be heavy.

nAfter the child left, Long Xiaoyuan lay on the lounge chair and asked Shi Qingzhou to continue the massage.

nShi Qingzhou massaged him gently, and he infused his inner power into his head when he was massaging. Therefore, Long Xiaoyuan felt very comfortable and dozed off. Shi Qingzhou did not disturb him.

nLong Xiaoyuan fell asleep soon, while Shi Qingzhou did not stop massaging.

nAfter a while, when Long Xiaoyuan was fast asleep, Shi Qingzhou stopped.

nThe files of the day had been sent over. Shi Qingzhou had them moved to the study, where he would deal with them. The servants quickly moved the files to the study.

nWhen Shi Qingzhou was almost through, Long Xiaoyuan woke up.

nHe looked sleepy.

nShi Qingzhou was amused when he came out of the study.

n“Are you awake or not?”

nLong Xiaoyuan yawned, “Do you need to ask? Of course not!”

nShi Qingzhou walked over and pulled him up from the lounge chair. “Do you like to sleep for a little longer? Skip lunch? ”

n“No.” Long Xiaoyuan hurriedly shook his head and touched his stomach, saying pitifully, “I’m hungry.”

nShi Qingzhou burst out laughing.

nLong Xiaoyuan paused. Looking at Shi Qingzhou, he couldn’t help thinking of the ending in the book.

nShi Qingzhou killed the Emperor, stained the court with blood, and had many concubines, but he lost his laughter.

nLong Xiaoyuan thought that the ending was definitely not as good as it was now.

nEven though Shi Qingzhou was the Empress instead of the Emperor, he had Long Xiaoyuan’s love.

nThe sunlight shone on Shi Qingzhou, who was laughing, and seemed to have wrapped him with a faint layer of gold.

nThe golden color dazzled Long Xiaoyuan’s eyes, and he was enchanted by Shi Qingzhou…

nThis was Shi Qingzhou, the person he loved.

nHe was dazzling!
