Before five o'clock the next morning, other palace guards came to take over their shifts. Only then could Su Ning and others, who had been on duty all night, rest. However, the workaholic emperor must have gotten up.

So in Suning's eyes, this emperor is still very competent. Of course, it is also because he has affected the interests of too many people, so it is definitely difficult for him to last too long.

However, when Su Ning thought about what had just happened between him and Jia Yuanchun, the smooth and wonderful feeling still made him feel very happy, and he couldn't help but start to have thoughts about the emperor's other women.

However, Suning also knew that such a thing was like walking on a tightrope. If he was not careful, he would fall into an irretrievable situation, so he could not do it often even towards Jia Yuanchun.

Of course, Suning also has the confidence to make Jia Yuanchun pregnant in one go. Presumably, when the harem realizes that Jia Yuanchun is pregnant, the Jia family will definitely be different from the original drama. Of course, the greater possibility is that they will be even more arrogant and extravagant than in the original drama.

When Su Ning rode back to the Su Mansion, the housekeeper Fu An handed him a letter. "Young Master, Master Bao from the Rong Mansion has sent someone to deliver a letter, inviting you to go to Qianmen Street for a drink."

"Okay! Got it. I'll go catch up on my sleep first. Remember to call me when it's almost time." Suning, who took the letter, said lightly.

"Yes! Young Master."

The background arranged by the system this time was really great. The only pity was that there were no maids to serve him, so Suning could not enjoy the beauty of beautiful women like Jia Baoyu.

However, Suning didn't want to waste any more energy on those maids. It wasn't like he had met a truly stunning beauty, so there was really no need to learn from Jia Baoyu.

A person lies on the bed in the dark and sleeps soundly, but sometimes humans need space to be alone. Being surrounded by people on all sides not only consumes physical functions, but also harms the spirit.

When Suning was sleeping soundly, the wife of the Duke also came to see her baby son. However, seeing her son sleeping in a sprawling position, the wife of the Duke covered her son with a quilt in a funny way, and then left Suning's bedroom again.

In fact, the children of nobles all have their own favorite entertainment activities. For example, some like to carry bird cages, and some are keen on walking cats and dogs, but more people still like the beautiful girls like the children of the Jia family.

However, the Su family had few descendants, and their family education was extremely strict. For example, Su Ning, the legitimate son of the Duke, had no maids to serve him, which was almost rare in the homes of noble families.

So when the Su family came to the Lin family to propose marriage, Lin Yian, the emperor's confidant, agreed without hesitation. Even when Su Ning wanted to take the daughter of the Xue family as a concubine, he turned a blind eye, simply because compared with those sons of nobles, Su Ning's character was already outstanding.

Therefore, as a mother, the Duke's wife is very proud and confident about the future power of her family. After all, a harmonious family brings prosperity is a true saying.

After the Duke's wife left Su Ning's room, the housekeeper Fu'an hurried forward to report to her, "Madam, the young master has been very close to Master Bao from Rongguo Mansion recently."

"Oh? Is it the unicorn baby that is said to be born with a jade in its mouth?" The Duke's wife looked at Fu'an in surprise and asked.

"That's right! Madam, most of the so-called strange stories are fabricated by people with ulterior motives. Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, claimed to have killed a white snake after waking up from a dream, but it is most likely just an exaggeration and flattery by later generations." However, the housekeeper Fu'an seemed to know a lot of very secret information and knew that these were all fabrications by the Ning and Rong mansions of the Jia family.

"If this is true, then the Jia family is truly foolish."

Then Fu An looked at the Duke's wife with a worried look on his face and asked, "Madam, should we remind the young master?"

However, the Duke's wife smiled disapprovingly and said, "That's fine! The real masters of the Jia family are still Jia She, Jia Zheng, and Jia Lian. As for Jia Baoyu, he's just a beautiful jade in Old Lady Jia's hands. It doesn't matter if the young master plays with him occasionally."

"Yes! Madam, I understand."

……

When the date time was almost up, Suning woke up on his own, and then washed and changed his clothes with the help of the nanny and servants.

After a simple meal, he stepped on the servant's back to mount the horse and headed towards Qianmen Street.

When Suning arrived at the house on Qianmen Street, he saw Jia Baoyu waiting in the front yard. "Brother Bao, this house is so elegant. Could it be your secret base?"

"Brother Ning, you're joking! This house belongs to the Xue family, and it's Sister Xue who wants to see you." Jia Baoyu looked very happy when he saw Su Ning, and the smile on his face was filled with indescribable meaning.

"Oh? Brother Bao, don't you want to see me, your brother?" At this time, Su Ning looked at Jia Baoyu in front of him and joked. As soon as he saw Jia Baoyu, he wanted to try something evil.

"This……"

Seeing Jia Baoyu's anxious expression, Su Ning couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, I'm just teasing you! Is Miss Baochai here?"

"Not yet! It seems that Aunt Xue and I will come along, so you should be mentally prepared, brother!" Knowing that Su Ning was deliberately teasing him made Jia Baoyu feel relieved.

Su Ning didn't take Jia Baoyu's reminder seriously, but Aunt Xue was also a beauty. "No problem! Brother Bao, did you put on rouge today?"

"Huh? No?"

"Brother Bao, you have such beautiful appearance and white teeth. If you were a girl, I would marry you even if I had to give up everything."

Jia Baoyu blushed, feeling somewhat overwhelmed by Su Ning's teasing. His heart was beating uncontrollably. "Huh? Brother Ning, how come I suddenly realized you're such a mean person? You've teased me time and time again?"

At this time, Su Ning put his arm around Jia Baoyu's shoulders and said ambiguously, "Haha, Brother Bao, I'm not kidding you. One day, we will sleep with our feet touching each other. I'm sure that feeling will be absolutely wonderful."

"Ah..." At this moment, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but blush with shyness.

Fortunately, Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue's carriage appeared soon, which naturally eased Jia Baoyu's embarrassment. However, Jia Baoyu had been secretly looking at his brother Ning, because Su Ning's proposal just now actually made him excited.

At this moment, Su Ning walked straight towards Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue, bowing to the plump future mother-in-law, "Su Ning greets my mother-in-law."

"Puchi! Young Master, you change your name quite quickly." Aunt Xue, the eldest royal sister in front of him, couldn't help laughing.

"Don't worry, mother-in-law! Suning will definitely treat Sister Xue well. Although she is a concubine, she will definitely not be inferior to the main wife." Suning still assured Aunt Xue without looking away.

"Okay! Then I'll have to wait and see."

"Yes! Mother-in-law."

Then Suning took the shy Xue Baochai to a quiet place in the backyard, and Aunt Xue and Jia Baoyu understood what she meant and did not follow them. After all, Xue Baochai now had many questions that she wanted to ask Suning.

Originally, Xue Baochai came with resentment, but after seeing Su Ning, she became timid and the resentment in her heart disappeared.

Looking at the shy beauty with her back to him, Su Ning couldn't help but ask with a smile on his face, "Sister Xue, do you have a lot of doubts?"

"Well, young master, you and I only met a few times later. Why are you so sure about marrying me?" At this time, Xue Baochai's crisp voice came, which showed that she was also very satisfied with Su Ning in her heart.

Su Ning took a step forward, looked into Xue Baochai's eyes with an extremely aggressive gaze and said, "Because I like your eyes. When you look at me, they are really charming, as if they can tug at my heartstrings. So I must get you and possess you."

"Ah..." Xue Baochai, who had never seen such straightforwardness before, shyly covered her face with her fan. "Sister Xue, I know you want to marry Master Bao, but he's not the right match for you. The Jia family is now a rotten mess. Only I, Su Ning, can give you the happiness you desire."

Su Ning's words aroused Xue Baochai's interest. You know, the relationship between the Xue and Jia families is one of shared prosperity and shared loss. "Young Master, why are you so sure that the Jia family will decline in the future?"

Then Su Ning picked up the most important issue as evidence, "No one is happy forever, and no flower is red forever! The recent funeral of Master Zhen from the Ningguo Mansion is a clear example. That funeral cost the Ningguo Mansion over 100,000 taels, and they'll spend millions more to build the Grand View Garden. The Jia family's Ning and Rong mansions have long been drained out."

"This……"

At this moment, Su Ning stepped forward and grasped Xue Baochai's hand. "Of course! These things have nothing to do with you and me. I promise that I will treat you well in the future."

"Well! My husband, please give me your guidance for the rest of my life." However, Xue Baochai's whole body just became stiff for a moment, and then she obediently snuggled in Su Ning's arms.

Su Ning, enjoying the beauty in his arms, took the opportunity to tell her about his plan. "Sister Xue, I'll take you to the Su Mansion in a few days, okay?"

Xue Baochai, who was somewhat tempted, still asked worriedly, "Ah? Isn't this a bit too hasty?"

However, Su Ning pinched Xue Baochai's hand and said shamelessly, "Sister Xue, I want you to be my first woman."

"Ah! Young master, you are just joking." However, Xue Baochai, who knew the moral character of the sons of nobles, did not believe it.

"Really! I've never had any maids to serve me, only some strong old women and male servants, so I'm really envious of Master Bao."

"What? Why does the Su family have such a rule?"

"Everything is arranged by God! Maybe it's to give you all the good things in the world."

"Husband, you are so mean! You always make fun of me."

Looking at Xue Baochai, who was clearly moved by emotion in his arms, Su Ning immediately inspired himself to compose a poem, "Young people experience sorrow and joy more than others, their songs and tears are without reason, and every word is true.

When I grow up, I am full of wit and cunning, and my childishness returns to my dream body."

"My husband, this is a really well-written poem." Xue Baochai was very surprised when she heard this poem for the first time. After all, Gong Zizhen of the late Qing Dynasty had not been born yet.

"Sister Xue, I will read it to you every day from now on."

"Ah."

……

In fact, Aunt Xue and Jia Baoyu had been secretly checking the situation here. Seeing that Su Ning easily dealt with Xue Baochai, Aunt Xue was naturally happy and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. After all, Duke Su was a more prestigious noble family than the Ning and Rong mansions of the Jia family.

Although Xue Baochai was only Su Ning's concubine, the emperor's imperial decree granting the marriage had already saved the face of the Jinling Xue family, so Aunt Xue and the Xue family had no complaints.

However, Jia Baoyu, who was standing by, was in a complicated mood. Seeing Su Ning and Xue Baochai hugging each other, he felt as if his beloved daughter was gone.

Of course, this beloved one is not Xue Baochai, but the handsome and extraordinary Su Ning. I don’t know when it started, but Jia Baoyu has developed special feelings for Su Ning.

In fact, the humanistic thoughts in feudal society were not too conservative. In some aspects, they were even more open than later generations. For example, male homosexuality appeared since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. The most famous one was probably Li Chengqian, the son of Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty. He did many ridiculous things for a "actor" named Chengxin.

Moreover, Jia Baoyu in the original version of "Dream of Red Mansions" is a man who is attracted to both men and women, and he is in an affair with a male actor named Jiang Yuhan. In the end, Jia Baoyu also marries his personal maid Xiren to Jiang Yuhan.

"Haha, Brother Ning, Sister Xue, congratulations! Congratulations! This is truly a match made in heaven!"

"Brother Bao, thank you very much."

"You're welcome! But please let me have a few more drinks at your wedding."

"Of course! We won't leave until we're drunk."

"Brother Ning, when are you planning to take Sister Xue in?"

"A few more days! I'm sure Sister Xue will need a few more days to adapt."

"..."

"Sister Xue, look how good Brother Ning is to you. It's rare to find such a considerate and caring person!"

"Brother Bao, please stop teasing us. I'm sure you and Sister Lin will be having a good time soon."

"Huh? Sister Xue, don't be ridiculous! I'm only thirteen years old, and Sister Lin is even younger. It's too early for us to get married."

"That's true."

"I'm having a good time today. Why don't I send Liu Quan to buy some wine and food so we can have a few drinks here."

"Okay! That's a good suggestion."

"Young Master, aren't you going to the palace for duty today?"

"No problem! I'm on the late shift today, and I can still take a nap after this hangover."

"All right!"

Then Liu Quan understood what he meant and ran to the big restaurant outside to arrange wine and food. Then Su Ning started drinking again with Jia Baoyu, Xue Baochai and mother and daughter. Jia Baoyu also suggested playing drinking poems, which brought the atmosphere to a climax.

Soon Jia Baoyu, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were all drunk, but Su Ning personally settled Jia Baoyu and Aunt Xue before going to Xue Baochai's boudoir.

At this time, the drunk Xue Baochai was naturally half asleep and half awake, and then Su Ning was...

The taste is naturally indescribable, so the author will not elaborate here. Readers can close their eyes and imagine it for themselves.
