Teasing the First Dragon at the Start

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something. Under Hu Yi's surprised gaze, he directly cupped her face and lowered his head to kiss her.

Hu Su was taken aback by Bai Su's actions. Her fair face, still wet with tears, remained frozen for a long while. She tried to push Bai Su's chest away and break free from her embrace.

But Bai Su held her waist tightly, making it impossible for her to break free.

After struggling for a moment, as a masculine aura continuously flowed into her mouth, she felt her body go weak and she could barely stand.

She unconsciously reached out her fair arms and hugged Bai Su's neck, gradually closing her eyes, forgetting to cry, and becoming completely immersed in the moment.

The room fell silent.

After a long while, their lips slowly parted.

Hu Su was breathing heavily, and his heterochromatic eyes glared at Bai Su with a hint of embarrassment and anger, seemingly dissatisfied with his own easy forgiveness of her.

She wanted to get out of Bai Su's arms, gather her emotions, and then give this nasty thing a stern look.

But Bai Su held her waist tightly, making it impossible for her to break free. She could feel his strong, pounding heartbeat and see his handsome face so close to hers.

Hu Qiao's face was flushed and her eyes were glazed. She looked more like she was being coquettish than intimidating.

She glared at Bai Su, a little embarrassed and annoyed: "You're a villain, a scoundrel, all you do is bully me."

A smile appeared on Bai Su's face as he said, "As long as I can hold you in my arms, I would not hesitate to be called a thief by the whole world."

Looking at Bai Su's serious expression, Hu Su felt both angry and annoyed.

What's infuriating is that this scoundrel is incredibly shameless; he clearly did something wrong, yet he still dares to threaten me so brazenly.

What's annoying is that, apart from being a womanizer, this guy is indeed the most perfect husband in the world. He's incredibly talented and handsome, and she really can't live without this stinky thing.

But she was truly unwilling to forgive Bai Su so easily.

After thinking for a long time, Hu Su suddenly opened his mouth and bit Bai Su's arm hard.

Bai Su gasped, unable to help but exclaim, "Hiss, what are you doing?"

Hu Yu slowly loosened his teeth, looked at the slightly bluish row of teeth marks, and snorted softly: "This is my punishment for you. Let's see if you dare to do it again."

Looking at her tense little face, Bai Su immediately understood that she had forgiven herself and found a way to back down.

After all, Hu Yu has always been stubborn but soft-hearted, and it's impossible for him to really and completely sever ties with this bad person, or his mother and sister.

Now all she can do is teach this scoundrel a lesson before forgiving him.

Bai Su looked at Hu Yi's earnest little face and couldn't help but smile: "I know I was wrong."

Hu Yi's tense little face finally relaxed, and she couldn't help but mutter, "You naughty thing, of all people to mess with, you had to mess with Mother. You... how am I supposed to address you when I see Little Yinman in the future..."

After all, from Xiao Yinman's perspective, the other party should call her Auntie.

But Xiao Yinman is also her mother's daughter, so she has to call her "sister".

Moreover, her sister is now pregnant, making the relationship far too complicated. Just thinking about how to address her in the future gives her a headache.

Seeing her annoyed expression, Bai Su couldn't help but smile. She quietly leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I can call you Madam, and you can call me Father. We can each call each other by our own names, so it won't bother each other."

"What a fine way to say 'we won't interfere with each other'! I really want to bite you to death, you wicked thing..."

Hu Su glared at Bai Su with a look of embarrassment. After hesitating for a long time, she said, "No, I want to have your child too."

Bai Su was taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

Hu Yi said with a serious expression, "As your lawfully wedded wife, how can it be justified that I haven't conceived yet? Besides, my mother and sister have put me in such a difficult position, so I'll put them in a difficult position too, and see how they address me from now on."

Faced with her amazing thought process, Bai Su certainly wouldn't refuse.

He quickly untied the jade belt around her waist, revealing a black bodice underneath and her jade-like body.

Hu Yu's fair face flushed red. She covered her chest with one hand and reached out to untie the light gauze on the bed, instantly covering the bed completely.

Chapter 489 The Grand Finale

Night was falling.

Inside the Bai residence, in a side room.

Fu Su wore a white ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), with cloud patterns embroidered on the wide sleeves, which were exceptionally exquisite. The fair cleavage at the neckline outlined the alluring contours of the silk fabric.

She sat alone by the window, flipping through a report, while gently stroking her belly with her other hand. Her once flat stomach was now slightly swollen, clearly indicating that she was several months pregnant.

"I wonder how things are going with Hu Yu. Has he forgiven that scoundrel yet...?"

Fu Su put down the report in her hand, looked at the bright moonlight outside the window, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After all, unlike Hu Yi, she was raised as the heir from a young age and was determined to stabilize the country and its people.

Although Bai Su was filled with resentment, she had to admit that this man's talent was unparalleled.

Initially, agriculture was the primary focus, with commerce as a secondary activity, and trade was used to control the grasslands, Liaodong, and the Western Regions.

From the present day, the country has become strong through industry, manipulated the world situation through trade, gathered the wealth of the world into the Central Plains, and used the nation of many nations to support the people of the Central Plains.

Every step they took revealed a wisdom and foresight that amazed her.

She originally wanted to know herself and her enemy, understand Bai Su's thoughts, and then defeat this scoundrel.

But as she got to know Bai Su better, she was gradually captivated by his amazing talent.

From being bullied at the beginning, she gradually grew to like this scoundrel.

Therefore, whether for the sake of the country or for her own sake, she did not want Bai Su and Hu Yi to have a falling out.

After all, one was her lover and the other was her sister; she didn't know who to help.

Just as she was deep in thought, there was a knock on the door.

Fu Su was taken aback and asked, "Who?"

"I know."

The door opened, and a young man dressed in a white robe walked in.

If it's not Bai Su, then who is it?

Upon seeing this, Fu Su's face lit up with joy at first, but then she couldn't help but say, "Why...why did you suddenly come here instead of going to Hu Yu's place? What if someone sees us?"

Bai Su smiled and said, "So what if I saw it? What's wrong with me coming to see my wife? How many months has it been?"

Seeing Bai Su's gaze fixed on her belly, Fu Su blushed slightly and whispered, "It's been four months now, you...you shouldn't look, it wouldn't be good if Hu Yi saw it."

Bai Su smiled and said, "Don't worry, she's already fast asleep. She won't wake up for at least a day."

"Asleep?"

Fu Su was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Bai Su's ambiguous smile and immediately understood.

Her fair face suddenly flushed red, and she pinched Bai Su's waist hard: "You shameless scoundrel, are you trying to get yourself killed?"

Bai Su laughed and said, "To die under a pomegranate skirt is to die romantically, even as a ghost. How many months has it been?"

As he spoke, he wrapped his arms around Fu Su's slender waist, pulled her into his embrace, and gently touched her belly, feeling the connection between them.

Fu Su lay blankly in Bai Su's arms, looking at the man who could shelter her from the wind and rain and whom she could rely on without worry, and a wave of warmth washed over her.

She whispered, "It's been four months now."

Bai Su murmured, "Four months already?"

Looking at Bai Su's cautious manner, Fu Su felt a surge of happiness. After a moment of contemplation, she whispered, "After she is born, should we hide her identity?"

Bai Su smiled and said, "Why hide your identity? Do you want your child to not even know who their parents are?"

Fu Su's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly: "But if we don't hide it, how will the world view you, my husband..."

After all, Bai Su has always been praised by the people as a saint and a wise ruler, and he has even been enshrined in temples and is known as a famous minister throughout the ages.

Once news of their affair with the royal family gets out, it will easily cause a stir among the officials and the people of the world.

Bai Su chuckled and said, "Reputation is nothing but an external thing. Life is only a few decades long. Why care about other people's opinions and make yourself live a life of grievance? As long as you are by my side, that is enough."

Fu Su was stunned. Looking at the man in front of her who could shelter her from the wind and rain and whom she could rely on without worry, she couldn't help but excitedly snuggle into his arms.

After a moment of contemplation, Bai Su said, "When you feel better, would you like to come with me to see the magnificent landscape of my Great Xia?"

Fu Su was taken aback: "Such a beautiful land?"

Bai Su nodded slightly: "Now, looking across the world, all trade routes are in the hands of the Central Plains. Rome has submitted, Parthia has surrendered, and the scale of the Central Plains' workshops is growing larger and larger."

"With no enemy left in the world, it's time to ride in a carriage and see for myself, as a merchant, the different customs and traditions of the Western Regions, Japan, Rome, India, and the distant Americas."

"There are inexhaustible mountains of gold, silver, grain, and cereals there. Don't you want to put down your map, leave Xianyang, and see it for yourself?"

Fu Su was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "How could I refuse my husband's invitation?"

She has been bound to the position of crown prince since childhood, and now it is time for her to let go of everything and travel around.

......

......

Three years later.

Inside the Xianyang Palace.

Two little girls with pigtails sat obediently at the table, reading their books.

It was Xiao Yinman, the daughter of Zhengjie, and Princess Dongyang, the daughter of Fusu.

A graceful and elegant woman held a bamboo ruler and gently swayed it.

This beautiful woman was dressed in a black palace dress, and every move she made exuded a dignified and elegant air. Who else could she be but Zheng Jie?

After reading for a while, Xiao Yinman tentatively asked, "Mother, where did Father and Aunt go?"

Sister Zheng rested her chin on her hand and said with a smile, "Your father is incredibly lazy. The navy had just stabilized when he handed over the position of Grand Admiral to Zhang Han for supervision. On the surface, he said he was going to explore the Americas, but in reality, he took your aunt out to play."

Xiao Yinman pouted, "I want to go play too."

The Empress Dowager said with a half-smile, "Don't even think about it. Judging from Fusu's current appearance, he doesn't seem to want to inherit the throne. So naturally, I will train you two well. Memorize this book on the theory of all nations for me."

The two maids exchanged a glance and then let out a wail.

Meanwhile, on the streets of Xianyang City.

Bai Su, with a blade of grass dangling from her mouth, sat in front of the carriage. Watching the two women, one in black and one in white, approach, she couldn't help but smile: "Let's go, let's set off."
