Chapter 529 Xiao Yu’s Birthday Gift
Chapter 529 Xiao Yu’s Birthday Gift
After the two finished their dinner, Su Lingyue asked Caiyi to prepare a medicinal bath.
She took Xiao Yu's hand and went back to the bedroom, and the two of them walked slowly to digest their food.
Xiao Yu lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about. He seemed a little absent-minded, just like he was when he had dinner just now.
"Is there anything wrong with the letter Yan Qing brought back?"
After hearing Su Lingyue's words, Xiao Yu came back to his senses, chuckled, and rubbed Su Lingyue's fingertips, saying, "There's nothing unusual about those letters, they're just ordinary correspondence."
In order to stop Su Lingyue from thinking about it, Xiao Yu changed the subject, "I have already thought of what to give Yue'er as her birthday gift. I will take you to see it."
Su Lingyue's eyes lit up and she asked curiously, "What is it?"
Xiao Yu just smiled and didn't answer.
Back in the bedroom, Xiao Yu took out a carved box from the cabinet and placed it on the table in front of Su Lingyue.
"open to take a look."
"This is?"
With doubts, Su Lingyue opened the box and saw a scroll.
Under Xiao Yu's gentle gaze, she picked up the scroll and unfolded it.
As the content of the painting became clearer and clearer, Su Lingyue's eyes gradually became red.
In the painting, Xiao Yu not only drew a portrait of her mother, but also restored the part of her eyes that was accidentally bruised by crying.
Those were a pair of bright almond-shaped eyes with a gentle smile, which immediately brought back the vague memories of her youth.
Yes!
These were her mother's eyes in her already blurred memory.
This painting is almost the same as the original damaged one, the only difference is that there is an extra person next to my mother.
In the scroll, Su Lingyue was wearing a pink long dress and playfully holding her mother's arm. Both of them were looking at her with happy smiles on their faces.
Looking at this painting, the long-standing regret of not having a mother seemed to be filled by this painting at this moment.
If her mother were still alive, she and her mother would definitely be as happy and fulfilled as shown in the painting.
Su Lingyue stroked her mother's face in the painting, and soon her eyes were filled with tears, which slid down her snow-white cheeks like beads that had broken off the string.
Worried that her tears would stain her mother's portrait again, Su Lingyue quickly raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears.
Xiao Yu gently held up Su Lingyue's tearful face with one hand, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief with the other hand.
"My husband hired the best painting mounter in the capital to mount this painting. Even if tears fall, the painting will not be damaged. Moreover, the paper used is wolfsbane paper from the Western Regions, which will not rot for thousands of years."
"Really?" Su Lingyue choked and sniffed.
"Yeah." Xiao Yu wiped her nose with a handkerchief and said jokingly, "But remember to call your husband over when you cry."
"Why?" Su Lingyue blinked her wet eyes.
Xiao Yu lowered his head, chuckled and said, "I love the look of Yue'er with tears in her eyes." His slightly cool lips gently kissed away the moisture from the corners of Su Lingyue's eyes.
The warm breath fell on her face, and Su Lingyue's cheeks and heart began to feel hot.
She put down the scroll in her hand, turned around and hugged Xiao Yu tightly, burying her face in his neck, with no space between their chests.
Xiao Yu also gently embraced the person in his arms.
Su Lingyue gently rubbed Xiao Yu's neck with her snow-white cheek and whispered softly: "Thank you, my lord. This is the best birthday gift I have ever received in my life."
Xiao Yu rubbed her neck with his cool fingertips and said gently, "As long as the little one is happy."
The maids brought the medicinal bath and knocked on the door before entering, and the two men let go.
Su Lingyue looked at the painting on the table again before carefully putting it away, putting it back in the box and placing it together with the previous painting.
After finding the underwear that Xiao Yu wanted to change into, Su Lingyue took his hand and walked towards the private room.
Xiao Yu also let her pull him into the cubicle to wash up.
The medicinal bath was ready, and after the maids left, Su Lingyue skillfully undressed Xiao Yu.
Until there are only two left.
Xiao Yu lowered his eyes and looked at her leisurely, with no intention of taking action himself.
As soon as Su Lingyue raised her eyes, she met Xiao Yu's smiling eyes, who was looking at her leisurely.
Now she understood that some things are one thing to say and another thing to do.
Xiao Yu lowered his head and said jokingly, "Don't you always want to flirt with your husband? What? You have the intention but not the courage?"
"No way!" Su Lingyue raised her proud little face, snorted, and began to unbutton Xiao Yu's shirt.
Looking at the only pair of underwear left on Xiao Yu's body, Su Lingyue raised her eyes to see the smile on Xiao Yu's lips, and then she made up her mind and untied her belt.
After just a glance, Su Lingyue blushed and quickly looked away.
Xiao Yu chuckled and got into the bathtub, leaving Su Lingyue standing there alone looking at the roof.
After a while, Su Lingyue slowly picked up her underwear on the ground and put it on the hanger. After hesitating for a while, she came to the bathtub.
Xiao Yu leaned against the bathtub and closed his eyes to rest. Hearing the noise, Xiao Yu said calmly, "I thought there was no massage today."
"My husband will see it sooner or later." Su Lingyue said confidently, without any blushing or heartbeat as she had just now.
The slender and soft fingers stroked Xiao Yu's back, found the acupuncture points, and began to massage.
Xiao Yu had been sitting with her in the ancestral hall all day today and was really tired. At the end of the massage, Xiao Yu actually fell asleep leaning against the bathtub.
Su Lingyue checked the water temperature and it was not too hot for Xiao Yu.
"Your Highness." Su Lingyue woke Xiao Yu up softly.
Xiao Yu rubbed his forehead tiredly, and stood up with the help of the bathtub. There was no towel around his waist as usual.
So Su Lingyue took another glance.
Xiao Yu looked indifferent. He came out of the bathtub, picked up the dry towel beside him, casually wiped the water stains on his body, and walked out of the cubicle wearing only his night shoes.
Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu in shock.
Although he is tall and thin and looks good, he cannot be so willful.
"Your Majesty, you haven't put on your underwear yet!"
When Su Lingyue chased out with her underwear, Xiao Yu was already lying on the bed covered with a quilt.
"Your Highness, you haven't put on your inner clothes yet." Su Lingyue stood beside the bed holding her inner clothes, looking at Xiao Yu who was resting with his eyes closed.
Xiao Yu slowly opened his eyes and looked deeply at Su Lingyue, with a smile on his face. "Yue'er said this morning that she would feel more comfortable hugging me without this layer of clothes."
Su Lingyue blinked.
She did say this, but Xiao Yu directly refused. And it was the same in the past. The waist and abdomen were his forbidden areas and he never let her touch them.
What happened today?
"Today is your birthday. If it is Yue'er's wish, I will do my best." Xiao Yu explained in a gentle voice, and then said, "I want to hold Yue'er while I sleep."
"Oh."
Su Lingyue took off her hairpins and outer clothes, turned off the lights, and lay down beside Xiao Yu.
She deliberately kept some distance between herself and Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu held Su Lingyue in his arms and whispered in her ear, "Yue'er said that this body of yours belongs to you, and you can do whatever you want."
Su Lingyue was shocked by Xiao Yu's change.
These are things he would neither say nor do in the past.
Moreover, Su Lingyue herself said that she was just teasing Xiao Yu and didn't really want to do anything.
At this moment, she stood stiffly and dared not move.
She was a little uncomfortable for a moment as to why Xiao Yu had changed so much.
After a while, the sound of Xiao Yu's even breathing came to my ears.
Su Lingyue's stiff body gradually relaxed and she hugged Xiao Yu's waist.
Xiao Yu's body is as warm and cool as jade, and it is really comfortable to hug him.

In Prince Jing's mansion, it was midnight when everyone was tired and the horses were exhausted.
Suddenly, flames shot up into the sky and spread from the attic of the mansion.
Shouts, cries for help and flames rising into the sky shook the night sky of the capital.
