Chapter 285: Duanmu Rong: We should sleep separately from now on!
Jing Ni, full of shyness, curled up in Li Mo’s arms.
So proactive, and in broad daylight.
This was her first time.
Jing Ni didn’t know what had come over her.
Everything was fine, and then suddenly she felt excited.
Li Mo embraced her jade-like shoulders.
His fingers lightly tapped on her shoulders like playing a piano.
Having just seen their baby, he felt particularly happy.
He does have an idea or two about the reason for the changes in Jing Ni.
In short, it’s due to excessive secretion of female hormones during pregnancy.
However, he did suffer just now.
He had to be careful from beginning to end!
Pregnant women are inherently more prone to drowsiness.
With her desires fulfilled, Jing Ni gradually started feeling sleepy.
Her two fan-like eyelashes fluttered weakly, and soon she fell asleep.
The next day, Sister Zi took Snow Maiden to Xianyang.
Li Mo went with them as well.
However, he wasn’t there to accompany Snow Maiden in selecting a dance hall, but rather to go to the royal palace.
The first reason was to greet Ying Zheng.
The second was to comfort the Empress Dowager!
The Empress Dowager, who had gotten a taste for indulgence, was now in a ravenous state, and for the past three months, she had nearly been starving.
Aside from the integration of Zhao State into Qin’s territory, there wasn’t much major news in the court.
Han Fei’s reforms were also progressing well.
Ying Zheng had a strong personality, but he was not a stubborn person.
He wouldn’t disagree with matters that benefited the country and the people.
As for the next step of expansion, there was no hurry.
Qin had just finished this battle and needed to recuperate for a bit.
Once Zhao was completely stabilized, new wars would begin.
In the plans of Ying Zheng and Li Mo, they intended to wait until after the autumn harvest.
By then, Qin would have ample grain and could take Wei in one go!
When Li Mo came out of the palace, it was already the next day!
He had spent a whole day and night idling around with the Empress Dowager!
One must say, there is still a difference between a mature woman and a young girl.
The Empress Dowager’s appetite was indeed astonishing!
After all sorts of cooking and frying, Li Mo finally managed to fully satisfy her.
When he was about to leave, the Empress Dowager had even softened up to the bones!
Duanmu Rong quickly adapted to the place, and from then on, she stayed by Jing Ni’s side, never leaving her a step.
Snow Maiden took a full three days before she finally determined the location of Feixue Pavilion.
It was situated at a crossroads of the main road in Xianyang.
Originally a tavern, it had a front hall and a back courtyard.
With just a little modification, it could be transformed to resemble the previous Feixue Pavilion closely.
In fact, when she first arrived, she had already set her sights on this place at first glance.
However, the price that was negotiated made her secretly gasp.
Although the Feixue Pavilion was thriving before, its expenses were also considerable.
The Snow Maiden manages such a large group of people and needs to keep a close eye on the finances.
While worrying about the household, she also has to perform on stage herself.
Sister Zi is very perceptive and immediately noticed the Snow Maiden’s concerns.
She proposed that she could contribute some money as an investment.
Not only does Sister Zi have substantial financial strength, but she also has experience in running such a dance hall.
Back when they were in the Han State, Zilan Xuan was a major economic source for Liu Sha.
With her support, the Snow Maiden felt a sudden relief from pressure.
Now, the focus is not on how much money can be made, but rather on getting the Feixue Pavilion up and running again.
After all, so many disciples of the Feixue Pavilion depend on it for their livelihood.
Before the Feixue Pavilion is renovated, the Snow Maiden can only stay at the mountain villa for now.
“Miss Duanmu, how is my wife?”
On this day, Duanmu Rong was giving Jing Ni a pulse diagnosis as usual.
Li Mo sat beside them in company.
Sensing that Duanmu Rong’s expression was somewhat odd, he hurriedly asked.
Jing Ni looked at her nervously as well.
This is the first descendant of the Li family, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl; it is a matter that concerns the hearts of everyone in the family.
Duanmu Rong retracted her wrist pillow and glanced at the two.
She said: “Everything is normal.”
Upon hearing this, both of them sighed in relief simultaneously.
Before Li Mo could complain in his heart about why she had to keep such a serious expression, Duanmu Rong continued, “However, you two need to be mindful from now on; it’s best not to engage in intimate relations. The fetus is growing larger, and any carelessness could disturb the fetal energy, which is not good for the baby.”
After saying this, she couldn’t help but blush.
Even though a physician is not constrained by gender, she is still an inexperienced young maiden.
Telling the couple not to engage in such activities was still somewhat embarrassing.
Li Mo was stunned for a moment.
Indeed, a divine doctor is a divine doctor; she could even see this.
It’s not that he didn’t want to fulfill his role as a husband, but touching Jing Ni now would evoke sensations in her.
He wanted to touch her belly again.
As he started to touch it, Jing Ni began to undo her belt on her own.
Jing Ni’s little face instantly turned red, and she awkwardly covered her forehead.
Li Mo nodded: “Got it, I’ll be more careful in the future.”
Duanmu Rong shot him a glance and said irritably, “It’s not about being careful, it’s better if there’s no chance of it happening again. If you really can’t help it, just go to someone else.”
She just didn’t understand.
With so many women in your courtyard, why are you fixated on Jing Ni?
Is it because she’s pregnant that you have some special interest?
Li Mo felt distressed in his heart, but he couldn’t say it aloud.
“It’s not that I’m fixated on her; it’s clearly her climbing onto me.”
Jing Ni was already blushing furiously, her toes hiding awkwardly in her shoes.
This burden he naturally had to bear.
After a pause, Duanmu Rong, still feeling uneasy, said, “It’s best if we sleep separately from now on. I’ll move over, and it’ll be more convenient to take care of the Madam.”
She was worried that Li Mo would be unable to resist.
“Mm, that’s fine, then it will be hard on you, Miss Duanmu.”
Li Mo continued to take the blame for Jing Ni.
As he walked out of the room, he sighed up to the sky.
Ah, he can’t go see his own child in the future!
Before he could leave the courtyard, Li Mo paused slightly.
Outside the main courtyard where he and Jing Ni were, stood a figure that looked ethereal as if it descended from the heavens.
The wind was strong in the mountains, and the person, dressed in a light purple long dress with long purple hair, danced gracefully in the breeze.
Her aura was transcendent and ethereal, akin to a fairy just descended from the celestial realm.
“Is My Lady, the Moon Goddess, waiting for me?”
Li Mo composed himself and asked calmly.
Now in the villa, there was one white-haired and two purple-haired individuals.
The Snow Maiden and the Purple Maiden had gone to Xianyang to handle matters for the Feixue Pavilion.
So the only remaining purple-haired one was the Moon Goddess.
Since the last time she returned, the Moon Goddess had been living in Fei Yan’s courtyard.
Although the Moon Goddess was constantly envious of Fei Yan, as a senior sister, Fei Yan certainly treated her well.
In the past few days, Fei Yan had been meditating in her room.
Even meals were brought to her by maids.
And Li Mo hadn’t gone to see her these days.
After all, there were so many ladies waiting for him to tend to them!
The Moon Goddess hadn’t seen anyone for several days, and she was starting to feel anxious.
The task that Donghuang Taiyi assigned to her had shown no progress whatsoever until now.
