The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

After running like this for a while, the smile on Xia Younan's face gradually froze, and he tightened the reins in his hands, turning the horse's gallop into a slow walk.

Lu Xiuyuan didn't understand, so he lowered his head and asked, "What's wrong? Are you done with this?"

Xia Younan lowered his head, his face flushed, and he pursed his lips with an embarrassed look.

Lu Xiuyuan became even more depressed. He couldn't help but pinch her face and asked, "What happened to you, girl? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xia Younan puffed up his cheeks, remained silent for a while, and whispered softly, "My butt hurts..."

Lu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and immediately burst into laughter, his chest shaking slightly with laughter. Xia Younan felt so embarrassed when she heard it that she wanted to burrow into the ground.

"Hey, don't laugh~" Xia Younan patted him, lowered his head and muttered angrily, "Riding a horse is not fun at all, my butt is broken into pieces."

"Hahaha, why are you so cute?" Lu Xiuyuan stopped laughing after a while and teased lovingly, "Silly girl, this has nothing to do with riding a horse. It's just that you don't have the skills."

Xia Younan turned her head to look at him, blinking her big eyes and asking, "What do you mean? Is there a trick to avoid shaking your butt?"

"Of course," Lu Xiuyuan replied, and taught her seriously, "Riding a horse is not sitting on a horse. When the horse is trotting, you should stand and sit according to the horse's rhythm.

"Standing is to use the strength of the thighs and calves to clamp the horse's belly as a fulcrum, and sitting is to sit down with the strength of the waist and back, relax your feet, and step on the stirrups for assistance. The heels cannot be lifted up."

Xia Younan digested it for a while, then nodded, not quite understanding, "I see. Will it stop shaking this way?"

"Would you know if you try it?"

"Okay!" Xia Younan regained his confidence, and with a low shout, he let the horse run again and move according to his instructions.

"Hey? Really, you're so awesome!" Xia Younan tasted the sweetness and became happy again. He kept drinking and riding the horse happily.

Lu Xiuyuan would guide her from behind from time to time, with tenderness in his eyes.

When Xia Younan had ridden enough, the two men arrived at the downtown area. Considering the large crowds, they both got off their horses.

Lu Xiuyuan, holding the horse in one hand and his young wife in the other, strolled leisurely in the crowd.

The two of them had extraordinary looks, standing out from the crowd, attracting countless passers-by to look at them, with eyes full of amazement and admiration.

Xia Younan had just mastered the essentials of horse riding, and he was in a very good mood, and couldn't stop smiling.

His big eyes looked here and there, and he was quite interested in the bustling and lively scene before him.

After walking for a while, Lu Xiuyuan took her to a luxuriously decorated shop.

Looking up, I saw a plaque hanging at the top, with two large characters inscribed in gold: "Yi Zhai".

Xia Younan was confused and asked, "What is this place? Why did you bring me here?"

Lu Xiuyuan smiled, took her hand and walked straight inside, "You'll know when you go in."

Xia Younan followed him into the store, and what caught his eye was a luxurious atmosphere. In the middle of the 200-square-meter area, there was a dark red wool carpet embroidered with exquisite and elegant patterns.

The three sides of the store are lined with well-made counters, on which various flower branches and porcelain vases are neatly arranged.

Many exquisite and gorgeous ornaments are hung on the flower branches and porcelain vases, including hairpins, combs, hairpins, necklaces, bracelets, etc.

The materials of the jewelry are also varied, including gold, silver, glass, agate, gemstones...it's dazzling to look at.

The designs were so exquisite that people couldn't take their eyes off them. Many young ladies came here to buy them with great interest, surrounding the counter.

There were a dozen graceful young girls standing behind the counter, earnestly explaining and recommending products to customers.

It turned out to be a jewelry store. Xia Younan thought about it, but before she could ask again, Lu Xiuyuan took her hand and walked to the counter, and asked a girl, "Is Hongwu here?"

The girl looked at him, smiled politely and shook her head, "Sorry, our shopkeeper has gone to Jishitang. Do you have anything to do with him?"

Lu Xiuyuan sighed and thought to himself that Hongwu was really persistent. No matter how ruthless the flowing water was, the falling flowers were still affectionate.

"Is the thing I asked Hongwu to make yesterday ready? I'm the buyer, so take it out."

The girl was surprised when she heard that, and immediately nodded and agreed, "Yes, it's yours. The things have been prepared overnight, please wait a moment, I will go get them."

After she finished speaking, she trotted into the back door. Xia Younan looked at her back with a few question marks on his head. He looked at Lu Xiuyuan and asked in confusion, "What is that?"

Lu Xiuyuan smiled but did not answer, "You will know in a moment."

Xia Younan curled her lips and stopped asking questions. Instead, she looked at the accessories on the counter with great interest, her eyes full of admiration.

"Which one do you like? I'll give it to you." Lu Xiuyuan asked.

Xia Younan looked at it for a while, with stars in his eyes, and exclaimed: "They are so beautiful, who made this? The hands are so skillful."

"Do you like them all?" Lu Xiuyuan asked. Without waiting for her answer, he turned to the other girl at the counter and said, "Please pack up all the jewelry in the store. I want them all."

"Cough..." Before the girl could react, Xia Younan almost choked on his own saliva and looked at him in disbelief with eyes wide open.

Lu Xiuyuan looked innocent and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xia Younan was speechless and said, "Do you have too much money to burn? Just look at the appearance and the workmanship, and you can tell it's a luxury product."

Lu Xiuyuan shrugged and said indifferently: "Yes, this is the largest jewelry store in Beijing. The lowest-priced jewelry in the store costs fifty taels."

"So, there are so many jewels in this shop. If you want all of them, wouldn't it cost tens of thousands of taels? You've been sick for so long and haven't been to court. Your salary has been cut off. Where would you get so much money?"

Xia Younan had seen the account books in the palace's account office. Although they were not poor, they were not much better than ordinary people. Lu Xiuyuan was still spending money without restraint. Did he want to live off his savings?

"I... don't have any money?" Lu Xiuyuan seemed to have heard a funny joke. He shook his head and whispered to her, "It's okay. I'm very familiar with the lady boss here."

"Even if you know each other well, you can't be so wasteful. You can't afford to waste favors like this." Xia Younan taught him a lesson seriously, and then asked after a pause, "What is your relationship with the lady boss here?"

Lu Xiuyuan leaned close to her ear and murmured meaningfully, "The proprietress here... is my wife."

Xia Younan was startled, and turned his head to look at him, angrily questioning: "Lu Xiuyuan, what do you mean? You already have a wife, why do you want me to stay? Are you planning to have three wives and four concubines? Who am I?"

Lu Xiuyuan's face was full of black lines. He knocked her forehead speechlessly and explained depressedly: "My head is fine now, is it your turn to be stupid? How many wives can I have? You are the only one, right?"

"Then you just said..."

Xia Younan suddenly stopped talking halfway through his rebuttal, as if he had thought of something incredible. He covered his mouth with his hands and his eyes widened.

Lu Xiuyuan couldn't help laughing and jokingly asked, "Have you figured it out?"

Xia Younan looked around again, then approached him cautiously and asked, "Don't tell me, the owner of this store... is you?"
