Chapter 177: Universal Celebration

r, the wine and food were already prepared. Fu Zimuo sat at the main seat, while the Xiao Changyue sisters sat opposite him. Jin Mu and Qin Luoyan stood behind Fu Zimuo. 。In a hierarchical society, Qi...Facing the cold Martial Xuan Wang, Xiao Changyue's smile on her face stiffened for a moment, but only for a fleeting instant. She quickly replaced the stiffness with a tender expression, "Your Highness, today is Mid-Autumn Festival, a joyous occasion. I haven't seen Your Highness's face in over a month, so..."Fu Zimu turned his head and gave her a cool glance. His gaze contemptuously sized her up from head to toe before coldly saying, "So you came to see this king dressed like this You are the princess, dressed more licentiously than a courtesan. How is it, have you made up your mind to disgrace our Fu Manor""Your Highness, I only..." Xiao Changyue felt wronged. Wasn't she dressed like this to attract the King's attention In her opinion, she was not inferior to the other women around him in terms of appearance or figure. Why could he have those other women but refuse to touch her "Get out!" Fu Zimu didn't let her finish speaking. He retracted his gaze and poured another mouthful of wine. 。Xiao Changyue shed tears of grievance, but she still refused to give up. She placed the basket on a stone table and with her bare hands began to untie the cord around her waist. She wasn't wearing much to begin with, and as soon as the cord came undone, her silk robe slipped off her shoulders, revealing the pink undergarment underneath. 。Irregardless of whether Fu Zimo looked at her, she raised her hand and hooked onto Fu Zimo's neck. Then, her soft body sat on his lap, "Your Highness, the other day when I entered the palace, the Empress brought up the matter of children again. You are the only blood brother of the Emperor, and the Emperor is very concerned about your offspring." 。She had already been married into the prince's mansion for over half a year, but her belly hadn't shown any signs of movement. The two ladies in the palace had started to worry, and needless to say, her family, the Xiao family, was even more anxious. 。Her mother collected all sorts of folk remedies in the countryside and made her eat all kinds of strange things every day, just so she could bear a child for King Wu Xuan. 。But, she didn't dare to tell anyone. Since she married into the Wuxuan Royal Mansion, this man had never touched her body. She was still a virgin. It is difficult for even a skilled cook to make food without rice. How could she conceive a child alone The two women in the palace had already hinted very clearly. If her belly showed no signs of movement, they would choose some noble daughters to enter the mansion... 。She was the main wife of the prince's mansion. If those women became pregnant before her, then the future heir to the mansion wouldn't necessarily be her child. 。In this society, it's all about sons bringing honor to their mothers. With no children by her side, her days in the palace will be anything but easy. 。So, she couldn't wait. 。When she spoke, she leaned close to Fu Zimu's ear and whispered, trying to win his favor. She even went so far as to secretly hire an old madam from a brothel to teach her the art of seduction, although she found it distasteful, she still did it. 。It's a pity that as she approached, Fu Zimo's face darkened to the bottom of the valley. Before she could react, he pushed her away with a shove. 。 Xiao Changyue stumbled and fell to the ground, staring at Fu Zimo in disbelief. Men, don't they all like this kind of teasing That old madam clearly said that no man could resist a woman's allure... 。"Xiao Changyue, as the princess consort of the Wuxuan Wangfu, you actually did such a dissolute thing, it truly disappoints this King! Get out! Don't make this King say it a second time!" Fu Zimo stood up, holding the wine jug, swaying step by step as he left the courtyard. 。Only Xiao Changyue was left, in her undergarments,狼狽ly sprawled on the ground. She wept uncontrollably, her fingernails digging into the muddy earth, ripping flesh and skin, but she felt nothing. In the cold wind, all that could be heard was her gritted teeth, "I know, you're still looking for that fox demon! For that fox demon, you have gone to this extent!"She hated it, blaming all the faults on Qin Luoyan. She even secretly vowed that if she ever saw Qin Luoyan again, she would personally tear off Qin Luoyan’s skin piece by piece, making her wish she were dead! A woman's jealousy has been the most terrifying poison in the world since ancient times. 。On the twenty-third day of the eighth lunar month, the most beloved concubine in the imperial palace finally gave birth to an heir for the royal family. The emperor was already nearing thirty years old but had never had a child. According to the imperial physician, the emperor had a congenital illness and the chances of having a child were very low. Therefore, this child's appearance was simply a miracle for the emperor. 。It's a pity that she was born a princess, not a prince. Otherwise, there would be someone to succeed him. 。Even though she was just a little princess, she brought enough joy to the Emperor that he issued an imperial decree. Not only did he pardon everyone's sins, but he also ordered people to deliver candy door-to-door to celebrate. 。Although it's just distributing sweets, for the lowest-ranking officials it's not an easy task. Since it's a royal decree, they absolutely dare not disobey. Therefore, everyone in the yamen was sent out to distribute sweets. There was an order to visit every household, without missing even one. Even in remote areas, they had to go, claiming that this ensured true nationwide celebration. 。Those who had a better relationship with the local officials would be assigned to towns that were closer and more prosperous. Those who had a worse relationship with the officials would be assigned to remote villages on the outskirts. 。Chen Ying and Liu Er were just such a pair of bosom friends, because they had offended the old magistrate in the past, so the two were assigned to the most remote mountains. 。"You said it's in the middle of nowhere, who would live there Wouldn't that town doctor be pulling our leg" Liu Er wore the clothes of a lawman, a water flask strapped to his waist, a bag slung over his shoulder, and his sword used as a walking stick. He leaned on his sword panting at the mountainside, "Look at these deep mountains and old forests, it doesn't look like anyone lives here at all" 。“How dare that doctor fool us Doesn’t he want to stay in town anymore Who are we to blame for accidentally offending the madam's nephew Don't you see this is the official trying to teach us a lesson Alright, find him quickly. Once we bring him back to the yamen to receive the wedding candies, our task will be complete.” 。Chen Ying also sat down on his buttocks and began to rest. 。"Of course I saw through you, do you take me for an idiot" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!。Usually, we just need to go door-to-door giving out candies for the wedding. This time, they actually brought us back to the yamen to collect the candies. It's obvious that they don't believe we will be distributing candies in the mountains. 。It's really annoying, isn't it It's just the aunt's nephew. Why does he have to make things so difficult for us brothers 。"Liu Er couldn't take it anymore, so he gulped down some water to cool his anger." 。Chen Ying shook his head, "Come on, who blames that young concubine for being pregnant" 。A pregnant woman, most of all is easily upset. 。As the two were talking, they heard footsteps coming from afar. They looked at each other in surprise and saw a woman with a big belly walking towards them, pulling a little boy along. The little boy was carrying a bamboo basket on his back, seemingly in a good mood, skipping as he walked. 。If you think "Fu Zi Mo Qin Luo Yan" is good, please copy the following URL and share it with your QQ, WeChat or Weibo friends, thank you for your support!

Several of Fu Ziheng's beloved concubines sat on either side of t...
