Beiming Shuangxue's heart gradually calmed down, and her beautiful eyes flashed as she looked at Princess Ye.
Princess Ye's attention was on Beiming Shuangxue's wrist, and she took about a dozen breaths. Princess Ye raised her head and said with a smile: "She is really pregnant. If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to tell.
"
"What? Is it really true?" Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward in surprise and held Beiming Shuangxue's hand with some excitement.
Beiming Shuangxue was also surprised. She thought she was just cooperating with her husband to cheat, but she didn't expect that she was actually pregnant.
Princess Ye reached out and tapped Ma Xiaoquan's forehead and said: "You kid, your own woman is pregnant, and you don't even know how to replenish her body properly."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said, "She's always in good health, right?"
"Okay? I'm still empty..." Princess Ye stretched out her hand to signal, and the servant understood, turned around and took out a box of something unknown from a grid.
Princess Ye took the small box and gave it to Beiming Shuangxue, saying: "This is life-extending ointment, specially for you pregnant women. It was also given to me by my sister in the palace. I don't need it."
, I am worried that no one will give it to me, come on, take it, eat a little every day, and then drink a glass of water..."
Beiming Shuangxue nodded, with some tears in her eyes.
Princess Ye was also a woman. She saw Beiming Shuangxue's thoughts, smiled and patted her head, saying: "If you have nothing to do in the future, just come to my place more often. Shanhe is a child who has always been careless, so I'm afraid he won't
Take care of you~ Besides, Shanhe’s mother passed away early, and the only elder who is close to him now is my aunt."
"Well~Thank you princess~" Beiming Shuangxue nodded heavily.
Princess Ye laughed, shook her head and said, "Do you still call me princess?"
"Aunt~" Beiming Shuangxue called out sweetly.
"Hey~" Princess Ye responded happily.
Ma Xiaoquan saw this and said with a smile: "Auntie, what about Shuangxue and I..."
Princess Ye smiled and said: "I like this girl Shuangxue very much. There is nothing wrong with me, but it is your father who is hard to say."
Ma Xiaoquan smacked his lips and said, "My father doesn't care about me, doesn't he? I'm not the only son he has..."
Princess Ye smiled bitterly and said: "It is true that besides you, there is Wan Tianyang. Your mother left early and your father's cold attitude towards you is normal."
"Wan Tianyang?" Ma Xiaoquan was shocked. It turned out that Wan Tianyang, the second-youngest child, had the same father as Wan Shanhe.
"What's wrong?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said: "I have never seen Wan Tianyang..."
Princess Ye said: "Among you disciples, there are several who have been chosen by the next head of the family. Tianyang counts as one, and you count as one."
Ma Xiaoquan curled his lips and said, "When I look at the stern face of the master of the house, I feel uncomfortable."
Princess Ye chuckled and said, "You have the same temperament as your mother..."
Ma Xiaoquan pretended to be sad and said: "It's been so long, I can't even remember my mother. Auntie, if you say I go to my father and talk about me and Shuangxue, will my father scold me?"
Princess Ye shook her head: "Probably not. Your father is sorry for your mother, but if it can't be done, my aunt will go with you."
"That's right, thank you so much, auntie~"
...
Wan Yubo suddenly coughed twice and winked at Ma Xiaoquan, meaning your matter has been solved, what about mine?
Ma Xiaoquan understood and said, "Auntie, there is one more thing..."
Princess Ye glanced at her son Wan Yubo who was standing next to her, and snorted coldly: "If you help Yubo talk about that woman, there is no need to speak~"
"Ah? Auntie, how do you know?"
Princess Ye rolled her eyes at Ma Xiaoquan and her son Wan Yubo, and said, "One of you was born to me, and the other was raised by me since childhood. You are both close to me. Do you think I can't tell?"
"Uh~~" Ma Xiaoquan scratched his scalp, "Auntie, that girl is actually pretty good, but her birth was not very good...Yu Bo is ready to redeem his life for that woman."
As Ma Xiaoquan said this, he winked at Wan Yubo, saying, "Don't just stand there in a daze. You should also say something."
Wan Yubo said oh, imitating Ma Xiaoquan's cheating behavior just now and said: "Mom, if you don't agree, the child won't eat."
Wan Yubo originally thought that his mother would agree to him, but to his surprise, Princess Ye just snorted and said: "You don't want to eat, right? Then don't eat. Anyway, I will starve to death, and I will treat you as my son."
"Ah? Mom, I am your biological son, how can you... Okay, then let me eat. I will never go to school again..."
Princess Ye said again: "You're not going, right? It just so happens that I stay at home and don't have to give you pocket money every month. Anyway, mother can see that you are not good at studying..."
"Mom, baby..."
Princess Ye said impatiently: "That's enough, don't mention this matter again, otherwise mother will ground you!"
When Ma Xiaoquan saw that something was wrong, he quickly smoothed things over and said, "Auntie, don't be angry, Yubo is also a sweetheart. Auntie, think about it, why did Yubo fall in love with that woman? There must be something special about that woman.
Yu Bo likes you... Besides, aunt, don’t you hate men who always fall in love and then give up? As far as I know, Yu Bo is so big that he seems to have fallen in love with that woman alone...
..."
After Ma Xiaoquan said this, Princess Ye was not so angry anymore. After a while, she said: "Well, Shanhe, you go to Yubo Pond and see how that woman is doing."
"Ah? Me?" Ma Xiaoquan looked at Bei Ming Shuangxue, who had already raised his chin to him, meaning if you dare to go, will I torture you to death?
Princess Ye laughed, patted Beiming Shuangxue's hand and said: "Shanhe also went to help me look at that woman, and he won't do anything else."
Beiming Shuangxue couldn't say anything, so she could only nod her head.
Ma Xiaoquan winked at Wan Yubo, who was smart this time and quickly knelt down in front of his mother and said: "Mom is so kind~"
Princess Ye sighed helplessly and said: "You, following Shanhe, you haven't learned this skill, but you have learned the skill of being thick-skinned and being mean~"
Ma Xiaoquan cried out that he was wronged: "Auntie, I didn't teach him, he learned it on his own..."
...
The next day, Ma Xiaoquan went to Yubo Pond alone.
Yubo Pond is a music hall in name, but in fact, it is a place dedicated to supporting official prostitutes.
The dignitaries of the Heiqing Kingdom rewarded official prostitutes even more than the officials Ma Xiaoquan had associated with in the Ming Dynasty.
In the Ming Dynasty, all families with better conditions liked to raise girls for fun, called "thin horses". When they came to Heiqing Kingdom, especially after entering Yubo Pond, Ma Xiaoquan was surprised to find that the people here also
Likes to raise "thin horses".
Of course, compared to the Ming Dynasty, which deliberately starved women into thin bodies, the nobles of the Heiqing Kingdom preferred women with a more well-proportioned figure, and even called them "feeling to the touch."
While sighing, a waiter stepped forward and saw that Ma Xiao was dressed in extraordinary clothes. He smiled and said, "Is this your first time coming to Yubo Pond?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded.
"Then the young master has come to the right place. Although our Yubo Pond is not big, the girls in it are very good. I wonder if the young master is interested in raising one or two for fun?"
Ma Xiaoquan hesitated and did not speak. The waiter continued: "You must also be a high-ranking official. It would be inconvenient to bring a thin horse home, so we have a foster care here. As long as you pay a little money, you can keep it and raise it beautifully."
of."
Ma Xiaoquan's eyes widened in surprise: "Is there anyone else who can adopt someone as a substitute?"
"Haha, of course~ How about it, Master, are you interested?"
Ma Xiaoquan dragged his chin, raised his eyebrows pretending to be very interested and said: "In that case, then... you say, you can help me pick a few, or let me pick a few myself...
"
"Hey, Young Master, you can't choose by yourself. The rule here is that when Young Master draws lots, whichever one you draw will be the winner."
"I'll go, right? What if I catch an ugly fat one, do you want to force-sell it to me?"
The waiter smiled and said: "Young master, you are worrying too much. We cannot say that all the women here are beautiful, but they are definitely not bad. Of course, if you have other preferences, such as virgins, etc., you will have to add some money."
I've been waiting for a few days, after all, things are rare and valuable..."
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and said: "Forget it, since you said it, just give me a directory or something and I'll take a look~"
The waiter nodded and said: "Okay, here you go~ Master, please sit here for a while, I will get you the directory..."
After a while, the clerk brought a directory and handed it to Ma Xiaoquan respectfully. Ma Xiaoquan reached out to take it, opened it and looked at it casually, and asked: "Why can't I understand this name? What's wrong with me?
Son... I was confused when I saw it, right?"
The waiter nodded and said: "Yes, sir, that's it. Mainly because you are not a regular visitor to our place, so you feel very strange. But if you come here a few times, you will have seen almost all the girls here, so you should know. Of course,
We also have new girls come here from time to time...to increase the freshness..."
Ma Xiaoquan cursed secretly in his heart and turned his attention to the directory in his hand.
Before coming here, I specifically asked Wan Yubo that the woman he was in love with was called "Min Xian'er".
Ma Xiaoquan flipped through a few pages and saw Min Xian'er's name in the directory.
"Uh~ I want this..." Ma Xiaoquan pointed at Min Xian'er's name and said.
The waiter glanced at it, frowned, and said, "Sir, can you choose another one?"
Ma Xiaoquan pretended to be angry and said: "Why, are you afraid that I can't afford the money?" As he said that, Ma Xiaoquan took out a gold bead from his arms.
