Chapter 1230 It was too late for seriousness at this time

He suddenly put down the food in his hand and took off the bag from his body and handed it to Fang Jinshu."What is this"She hadn't noticed yet that Zong Yu had an extra burden on his back."Here you go...Chapter 1230: It Was Too Late for Formality Now

"Since it's the imperial court's intention, I naturally have to bring my wife along."

Fang Jinshi's mind was filled with the upcoming Longevity Banquet for the Princess. It had been years of silence, no news whatsoever, and now suddenly they were going to have a banquet. How could she not feel something was off

There must be a scam.

She didn't see the excitement that flashed in Wang Xiaqin's eyes.

Actually, she wasn't really afraid of harming her lifespan and health. She was only seventeen years old. According to Fang Yu's words, they wouldn't be able to get married and have children for another three years. Wang Xiaoqin simply couldn't take the risk. Fang Yu was now a famous person in Wangdu.

She was afraid that in three years, everything would change. Would Fang Yu's kindness towards her really have nothing to do with the Wang family or her grandfather

No, as the daughter of a high-ranking official, Wang Xiaqin's mind was clearer than that of ordinary women. While she was simple and innocent, she still understood the implications of things.

Three years later, Fang Yu's wings would be full and he wouldn't need his grandfather to support him. I'm afraid that by then, his backyard wouldn't have only his wife.

Wang Xiaoqin didn't want to gamble, nor did she dare. She had never expected Fang Yu to truly stay with her for life. Even if he took in others later, it must be her husband's legitimate son and eldest son.

This time entering the palace to celebrate the princess's birthday, my grandfather said it was a good opportunity to get closer to Fang Yu.

The alcohol in the palace was strong, and it was normal for people to do something out of line after drinking too much at a longevity banquet. Besides, the two were husband and wife, so even if something happened, it was understandable.

This was the true reason Wang Xiaqin was so excited, thinking that her grandfather also supported her to consummate her marriage as soon as possible, her heart thumped like a little deer in her chest.

It was even more so when he met Fang Yu.

"Madam, are you feeling unwell You've been resting for a while, but your face is still so red"

Fang Jinshi unceremoniously pulled Wang Xiaqin's wrist and placed it on her leg, examining her pulse. Her domineering yet caring action completely captivated Wang Xiaqin, who looked into his eyes filled with love and adoration.

Fang Jinxiu felt guilty towards Wang Xiaqin. The moment their eyes met, she quickly looked away, but it was a natural avoidance. Wang Xiaqin was used to her husband's overly courteous behavior and didn't find it strange at all.

Sometimes she wished Fang Yu could be less of a gentleman when they were alone, that he would domineer over her a little. Even if she was bullied by him, she would be happy.

But this shameful thing, she, as a young woman, could never possibly bring herself to say it out loud. Therefore, she could only blush and bear it.

Wang Xiaqin didn't speak, and Fang Jinshu was happy to play dumb.

How could she possibly not see it, Wang Xiaqin's eyes were practically burning holes through him, wishing they could devour him whole. Not to mention that she wasn't even a man, so there was no way for her to satisfy him.

Even if he could, he wouldn't dare.

It's already bad enough to deceive someone, but to take advantage of her body as well She'll be even more guilty.

"Xiaqin, I'm a little hungry."

Fang Jinshui could only change the subject to break this awkward atmosphere, perhaps only she felt awkward on one side.

She withdrew her hand from Xiaochin's, lightly coughed twice and said.

"Your body is fine. It's just that the weather has been cold recently. I'll ask Ah Wu to go get some medicine for you later. It's used for foot soaking to promote blood circulation. Soaking your feet for a longer time can also dispel the cold in your body."

Wang Xiaqin happily nodded. Fang Yu was truly the most considerate person to her, even more so than her own parents had ever been.

Considering this, she became even more determined to give Fang Yu a child as soon as possible. This wish must be fulfilled at the earliest opportunity, lest dreams turn into nightmares over time.

"Okay, I'll get you some afternoon tea."

As soon as Wang Xiaoqin left, Fang Jinshu suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

No, she felt Wang Xiaoqin's gaze was off. Fang Yu's identity was probably compromised, and she had to figure out a way to use a different identity to appear in King's City.

And this identity must also be able to continue entering and leaving the palace.

Fang Jinshu hurriedly entered the palace to discuss the matter with He Lishang, but unexpectedly, after hearing her words, the boy burst into laughter.

"I can't anymore, my stomach hurts from laughing so much."

"Jinxiu Jie, your daughter-in-law truly loves you deeply. Why don't you just stay with us in Xixia and become the son-in-law of the Wang family"

Even if you truly never consummate your marriage with her, Wang Xiaoqin should not leave you.

Fang Jinxiu shot him a withering look. "You praise her so highly, why don't I get you a human skin mask and you go to the Wang family as their daughter-in-law, fulfilling her desire for consummation"

Helmsley waved his hand hastily.

"That won't do, the one with deep feelings is you. If I go, I'll definitely be exposed."

Fan Jinshi sat dejectedly on the side.

"Are you truly so worried"

He had known her for so long, but Helingsheng had never seen Fang Jinshu so embarrassed.

Xiaoqin is a good girl. As a man, I married her in disguise, and I've already deeply wronged her. I absolutely cannot let her sink deeper into this mire.

"The name Fang Yu, it's time to let it go."

Herschel felt sorry.

"With the reputation you've cultivated for so long, and the current situation being quite favorable to us, would you really just abandon it all"

"Change your identity, and you might not be able to stay in the palace."

Speaking of this, Fang Jinshu's mouth curved into a confident smile.

"You don't need to worry about your identity. Today, the palace also sent a post to the Wang family. Who suggested celebrating Princess Ruqing's birthday"

Hershel's expression grew serious as he got down to business.

"It was the Emperor who suggested it."

"I only just found out today that my aunt has been in the palace all along."

Fang Jinshu inquired with concern, "Do you know where Princess Ruoqing is in the palace"

Helsing shook his head.

"If I had known, I would have taken you to see her the moment I saw you."

The Xi Xia Royal Palace is no smaller than your grand He Xi, even though I am a prince, there are many places within the palace that I cannot go. The only one who can walk freely in the palace is my father.

Upon hearing this, Fang Jinshu's eyes showed disappointment.

"I knew it wouldn't be so easy to see the Princess."

"Don't you find it strange The Princess hasn't shown her face for so long, how come she suddenly wants to hold a birthday celebration"

Have you ever done this before

Hersch shook his head. “No.”

"If I had met her, I wouldn't even know what my aunt looked like."

Fāng Jǐnxiù sighed, “Fine, it doesn’t matter.”

"Anyway, the birthday banquet is in a few days. You'll still be able to see the Grand Princess then. Your father will make it clear what he wants to do."

She still needs to go back and prepare for the pretend death first.

On the day of the birthday banquet, Fang Jinshi was still dressed and groomed by Wang Xiaqin. To this day, the secret of her daughter's identity remained hidden. Though some called him a "kept man," no one suspected she was a woman in disguise.

Her performance was so realistic that Fang Jinshu sometimes doubted herself, wondering if she really had the potential to be a man.

"Honey, you look really handsome in this."

Fang Jinshi readily blurted out words of romantic affection, "I'm not half as beautiful as my wife."

Besides, what use is a man being so handsome for A woman should just focus on dressing herself up beautifully. I'm happy enough just looking at you, radiant and lovely.

Wang Xiaoqin's ears turned red from being teased. Fang Jinshu realized after the fact what she had just said and regretted it so much that she wanted to slap her forehead.

It's all her fault that over the past six months, she's gotten into the habit of saying sweet nothings just to comfort Xiaoqin. That mouth really deserves a smack!

It's too late for seriousness now. everything he was doing the moment he heard the servant mention Fang Jinshi's name and rushed over.Two attendants in charge of matters in his study were at a loss, their master was speaking well and...
