Chapter 940: Being dumb
"What are your plans regarding Senior Sister Yan and the others?"
Xia Ningzhi leaned quietly against Zhao Mu's chest. The events of the past seven days and seven nights were firmly imprinted in her mind. Everything was so clear that she couldn't bear to leave Zhao Mu.
"Even Wu Zixu can tell that you like me, do you think Senior Sister Yan and the others can't?"
Zhao Mu gently patted Xia Ningzhi's waist and hips and laughed, "These girls are better at this kind of thing than anyone else. Don't worry, since they didn't object to me pretending to be your Daoist partner, it means they've already accepted you."
"It's just that you've kept it to yourself for so long, which is why it hasn't happened yet."
Hearing this, Xia Ningzhi immediately became unhappy, pouting and saying, "So you're blaming me for confessing too late? But I'm a girl, how could you..."
"Ninth Princess, do you know?"
Zhao Mu sighed deeply and said, "It's not that I don't want to take the initiative, but I'm not sure how I really feel about you. Besides, I really consider you a friend. If I don't understand my own feelings, what if it's just lust? Wouldn't that hurt you and even make me lose you as a friend?"
"It's not that I'm not proactive, I'm just cautious."
Xia Ningzhi then asked, "How did you know that last night?"
"When you confessed your feelings, my heart was moved, and I finally saw clearly what I was thinking deep down. I wanted you, I wanted to have you, and I wanted your heart."
"Actually, when I was peeping at you taking a shower, I couldn't help myself and really wanted to rush over and join you."
"Also, when you were peeking at me, I really wanted to lay you flat on my lap and give you a good scolding."
Hearing this, Xia Ningzhi scolded, "You're such a bad person."
Zhao Mu chuckled.
Xia Ningzhi blushed instantly. After listening to his heartbeat for a while, she suddenly asked, "Zhao Mu, what do you like about me?"
"I love every part of you, don't you know that? After all..."
"Don't say it."
Xia Ningzhi reached out and pinched Zhao Mu's mouth shut, then asked, "I mean, what do you like most about me?"
"Um...."
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Mu tapped Xia Ningzhi's lower back and said, "It should be here."
"waist?"
"No."
"lower back dimples?"
"Ok!"
Zhao Mu smiled and nodded, saying, "This is the most beautiful back dimple I've ever seen. You are unique, Ninth Princess. You are truly beautiful, so beautiful."
"Hey, no!"
Seeing that Zhao Mu was about to bully her again, Xia Ningzhi pushed him away repeatedly, saying, "You should get up. This matter has probably already reached the ears of the Empress Dowager. If you do it again, she will really laugh at you."
"I was fulfilling my mother-in-law's mission, to help her become a grandmother as soon as possible."
"We're both at the Fourth Extreme Realm of cultivation, getting pregnant isn't that easy. Besides, it's not the right time for us to have children. Hey, hey, what are you doing!"
"It's nothing. Before we get up, let's take a shower together, wash up, and then we're off!"
Zhao Mu laughed and picked Xia Ningzhi up in his arms, jumping directly into the bathtub, splashing a lot of water.
The palace maid waiting outside quickly blushed again.
Why are the Ninth Princess and her husband starting up again?
It wasn't until noon that the palace door opened from the inside, and the palace maids immediately filed in to help the two men clean up their disheveled state.
Xu Qingyan arrived quickly. In front of Zhao Mu, she stuffed the bloodstains that the palace maid had collected into Xia Ningzhi's hand and reminded her, "This is your most important thing, keep it safe."
"Mother~"
Xia Ningzhi blushed instantly.
Zhao Mu knew that Xu Qingyan was targeting him, so he immediately put his arm around Xia Ningzhi's waist and promised her, "Mother-in-law, I promise I will always be good to Zhizhi."
After saying that, he mischievously leaned close to Xu Qingyan's ear and whispered, "Also, Mother-in-law, your methods are truly brilliant. I didn't even realize it until now."
"What? Do you think I'm being nosy?"
Xu Qingyan teased.
"how come."
Zhao Mu chuckled awkwardly, then rubbed his hands together, looking at Xu Qingyan with some hope, "Um, Mother-in-law, could you teach me this trick? I..."
"What do you want to do?"
Xu Qingyan glared at him.
"Mainly because Zhizhi likes it, she especially likes this state and wants to use it as a style in the future, hehe~"
Zhao Mu laughed without any attempt to hide his laughter.
"You little rascal, you actually used Xiao Jiu as a pawn."
"Um, Mother, actually, actually..."
Xia Ningzhi blushed and hesitated to continue.
"You silly girl, you really are a woman who follows her husband wherever he goes. Here, here, take it all. You can work hard so I can hold my grandson soon."
Xu Qingyan smiled and handed a jade slip to Zhao Mu.
"Mother, Father Emperor..."
"Don't worry about him, he'll figure it out after a couple of days of keeping it to himself."
Xu Qingyan smiled and patted her daughter's shoulder, saying, "You two just need to take care of yourselves."
......
Although his mother-in-law said not to pay attention to Emperor Xia, as his son-in-law, Zhao Mu naturally wouldn't let it go and ignore Xia Shang's feelings.
In the afternoon, while Xu Qingyan was talking to Xia Ningzhi, he went to find Xia Shang alone.
When Xia Shang was seen, his father-in-law's face was terribly dark, especially the way he looked at him, as if he wanted to chop him up with a knife.
"You little rascal, don't you know what it means to cherish a beautiful woman? Seven days and seven nights, what did you take Xiao Jiu for? You tormented her like this, huh? Tell me!"
After only a moment's glance, Xia Shang immediately appeared in front of Zhao Mu, grabbed his collar, lifted him high, and loudly questioned him.
Perhaps because he was too angry, he spat in Zhao Mu's face.
"What? You know you're in the wrong, but you don't dare to talk back?"
Seeing that Zhao Mu remained silent, Xia Shang curled his lip and said.
"Do not."
Zhao Mu shook his head slightly and said, "Because I also have a daughter. If I encountered the same thing as you, father-in-law, I might do even worse. So, I can understand how you feel right now."
"But don't worry, I won't mistreat Zhizhi. I will love and cherish her, and that will never change."
"As for your comment about cherishing women, I have always been."
"I can't say any more, that's a private matter between Zhizhi and me."
Hearing Zhao Mu say this, Xia Shang released him.
In fact, what's done is done, and over the past few days, Xia Shang has gradually accepted the situation.
Moreover, Zhao Mu's way of addressing Xiao Jiu has clearly changed, which is enough to prove that what the Empress said before was true.
The only thing missing between this kid and Xiao Jiu is to break the ice.
The two were mutually in love.
"Treat Xiao Jiu well from now on."
After Xia Shang sighed, he patted Zhao Mu on the shoulder, which was a way of acknowledging him as his son-in-law.
