The baby-making system is unreliable

A cool breeze stirred the courtyard. The westerly sunlight was pale yellow, and red silk fluttered in the pavilion.

"Then let me think, um... Ah Mo, this red silk is in such a mess, why didn't you remember to put it away?!"

Yun Xirou walked forward while thinking, looking at the red silks scattered and tangled in the pavilion, twisted and folded on a table.

"I shouldn't have forgotten it, why didn't I remember to put it away? Ah Rou, why don't you tell me why?!"

Xu Yimo looked at Yun Xirou with a half-smile, with a hint of playful cunning in his eyes, and spoke in a low voice into her ear.

Of course, it was because a beloved person was urging him to wash up so as to give him a 'surprise', so he forgot all these things, otherwise it wouldn't have come to this.

Yun Xirou blushed and glared at him half-shyly and half-annoyed. Looking at the red silk flying everywhere, she recalled the scene of last night and could not bear to look at it.

Fortunately, Xu Yimo moved quickly. In just a few moments, the things on the table were tidied up and the two of them stood in front of the table.

Xu Yimo held the pen in one hand, dipped it in black ink, and asked her with a smile: "Have you thought of a name for it?"

Yun Xirou habitually placed her right index finger on her lower lip, and after thinking for a moment, she replied, "How about a small fan? The night-blooming jasmine flowers are blooming in front of the courtyard, who should I cut this small fan for?"[1]

"The love startled two butterflies, which flew into the dream of Wushan. It sounds like a good name, and I like it, so let's call it Little Fan!"

Xu Yimo took the pen and wrote a lot of words on the red silk. Yun Yirou looked at his words and sighed in her heart: "This person's handwriting is straight and beautiful, it looks like he has practiced it."

Looking at it this way, she felt that her handwriting was not very good. She felt a little embarrassed, but she still wrote a few words under his gaze.

"Are you really going to write this?! Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?! Don't post it, or I'll be mad!!"

The corners of Yun Xirou's mouth twitched. Looking at what he had written, she felt a little embarrassed and a little shy. She forced herself to finish reading but still couldn't help but speak.

"Arou, I've finished writing. I can hang it higher. If you and I don't tell anyone, no one will know!"

Xu Yimo picked up his calligraphy and admired it, nodding from time to time, looking very satisfied. However, Yun Yirou, who was standing by, couldn't bear to look at it, so she picked up the brush and wrote something, hanging it on the tree with him.

"Wait a minute, there are only two posts like this, then... doesn't that mean everyone knows that we wrote it!!"

Yun Xirou opened her eyes wide. The more she looked, the weirder it seemed to her. She felt that trying to hide something was only making it more obvious.

Xu Yimo coughed, raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her, and said: "Then...we can put up one every time there is a festival or New Year, recording some daily life, so that if there are too many, we won't be able to tell which one was written first!?"

His words were somewhat artistic, and for a moment they were a different approach, but they unexpectedly prevented her from reacting, and the most fundamental issue was still not resolved.

Yun Xirou sighed, nodded in agreement, and said, "Now that I hear it, it makes sense!"

"Well, then you've already agreed. Write it down for me and hang it up later."

Xu Yimo raised the corners of his mouth slightly. This meant that she had promised him that she would spend every holiday in the future with him.

I always feel like something is wrong, what is it?! Yun Xirou suddenly realized, her eyes widened, and she slapped Xu Yimo half-shyly and half-annoyed.

"No, you are really smart. The handwriting is the same!? Others can tell it at a glance!?"

After all, you can still see it, what's the difference? There is no difference at all!!

Yun Xirou just felt that she was out of her mind, actually agreeing to his request, it was really an attempt to cover up something that only made it more obvious!!!

His experiences over the past two days seemed to have brought him a lot of fun. Xu Yimo liked to stick to her no matter where he was. He wanted to be with her all the time and take her with him wherever he went.

If they made a fuss for a long time at night, when Yun Xirou opened her eyes again in the morning, she would definitely see him lying beside her, hugging her as he slept.

If he got up early in the morning, Yun Xirou would tidy up his court clothes for him and accompany him to the outside of Chengde Palace, waiting for him to finish his business and leave the court.

A small couch was added to the imperial study. While Xu Yimo was handling state affairs, she lay beside him, admiring his peerless profile.

Xu Yimo didn't read many memorials, but he only read the most important ones. The unimportant ones had already been dealt with by the princess.

If he got tired of watching, he would hug Yun Xirou and have some fun with her. When she was asleep, he would pinch her breath and play with her little hands.

In the blink of an eye, nearly a month had passed. Yun Xirou lay on her side and looked at his serious expression. She remembered that ten days ago, she had time to go to the princess's mansion.

Counting the days, Master Leyuan will be coming out of retreat tomorrow, so it's about time for her to go there.

Xu Shuyao raised her eyebrows, waved her palm-leaf fan with a bright and proud look, and muttered to herself while hugging her chest, saying, "What a coincidence that I met him. This princess came all the way here. But I didn't see anyone, only the abbot of Bishui Temple."

The abbot told her that Yuan would not come out of retreat until a month later, and if she wanted to see him she would have to wait a month. He also said that the queen must come in person.

Yun Xirou thought that maybe it was time to go there, so she asked Xia Mo to serve him the fish soup she had prepared. She got up from the couch, smiled slightly, and mentioned this to him.

Someone clung to her for a long time, kissed her nose, and said, "Arou, I can't bear to leave you. We have been inseparable these days, and I feel sad when I can't see you."

"Amo, stop making trouble. Let me go ask Master Leyuan to see if he can cure your illness. This is a very important matter!!"

Yun Xirou brushed his hair lightly as if in anger. The hairpin on her head swayed with her movement. She looked into his eyes seriously.

"Well, Arou cares about me, I'm very happy. I'll send some secret guards to protect you! Or let Xiao Linzi follow you, his kung fu is not bad."

Xu Yimo was somewhat concerned about her safety, so he held her wrist and played with it, looking at her with a little more loving eyes.

"Amo, why do we need so many people following me?! I will just travel light and come back quickly. I hope nothing will happen under the emperor's feet, right?!"

Yun Xirou thought that Bishui Temple was not far away, and if she brought fewer people with her, the target would be smaller and she could move faster, so she would definitely be able to get back before dark.

Xu Yimo was extremely uneasy if she went out without bodyguards, and Yun Xirou wanted to be a smaller target, so the two of them discussed it and the final result was that she took Xiao Linzi and Xia Mo with her.

"By the way, the Divine Doctor Du that my sister mentioned will come to Beijing tomorrow, right?! I'll feel more at ease if he takes your pulse. I heard you've met Divine Doctor Du before."

Yun Xirou thought for a moment and said, she fed him the fish soup in her hand and watched him drink it up before putting down the bowl and spoon.

I heard from the eldest princess that Doctor Du had treated Xu Yimo and he was said to have come up with some new methods a few days ago and wanted to go to Beijing to try them out.

She had also heard of this Doctor Du. It was said that he was a peerless medical genius who lived in seclusion on Huludao Island. He could bring the dead back to life and revive rotten wood. He seldom left the island.

Of course, these are just rumors and the scripts told by storytellers. Even an ordinary person can make something out of it. What's more, he is indeed a doctor, and there really are people who accidentally entered the place and were saved by him.

To be honest, Yun Xirou was not very surprised that the eldest princess knew such a person. Who in the world didn't know that the eldest princess sought out famous doctors to save her elder brother and younger brother?

Before Xu Zhaolin was seriously ill, there were many doctors who diagnosed him. Not to mention Xu Yimo, the number of doctors he had ever seen was almost more than the number of civil and military officials in the court.

"Arou, I'm going to tell you something. Don't be surprised. The Doctor Du who is going to Beijing is actually... my brother-in-law."

Xu Yimo put his arm around her shoulders, looking at her surprised expression as if he had predicted it, and then said, "My elder sister put a lot of effort into getting to the island, and you know her violent temper, so it goes without saying that she must be furious."

"So, sister just kidnapped the owner of the island?! To be her husband?! This... I really didn't expect this. Sister, you are so awesome!!"

Hearing this, Yun Xirou was so shocked that her mouth could contain a duck egg. She didn't expect that she could actually do this. She was worthy of being her.

"Arou really understood immediately. After a while, the two of them played around and the elder sister just snatched him away. Moreover, they have a son named Little Watermelon (nickname), and he will be five years old in two months this year."

Yun Xirou gasped in surprise, took a sip of tea from the cup, and couldn't believe that Xu Shuyao had a five-year-old baby at such a young age.

Five years ago, wouldn't she have been married and had children at the age of seventeen or eighteen? The key point is that there was no rumor about this outside, so I was quite surprised when I suddenly found out about it.

"Little Watermelon? Five years old?! I need to calm down, he... No, then what gift should I bring when I see the little guy?! What does he like?! No, no, doesn't my sister live with the child?!"

Yun Xirou had too many questions in her mind. She broke away from his arms, muttering to herself, and walked back and forth in the room.

"Arou, pfft... don't be so nervous. Little Watermelon rarely comes to the palace. I have only seen him three times. He was still young at that time and probably doesn't remember much. Little Watermelon may not remember me much either. If my brother-in-law is in the palace, he will not bring Little Watermelon with him in most cases."

Thinking of Little Watermelon's appearance, he had only seen him a few times, not very often, and each time he was veiled. His sister and brother-in-law also deliberately concealed his identity, so it was not easy for him to appear in the palace.

After all, there are many people around and little watermelon looks too much like his sister, so naturally he also looks a lot like Xu Yimo. If this happens too often, people will be suspicious, which is not good for the child himself and will easily lead to rumors.

"My sister doesn't like life in the imperial city, so she doesn't want her child to grow up here, so she lets Little Watermelon live with her brother-in-law in Huludao."

Xu Yimo looked at Yun Xirou walking back and forth, and found it very interesting. He continued to chatter in her ear: "Every year, my brother-in-law would secretly bring Little Watermelon with him. The father and son would go to the capital together and stay in the princess's mansion for a few months. Every time, he would act like a staff member in her mansion."

Everyone knew that the eldest princess had put a lot of thought into her brother's illness. The most common things in the mansion were doctors and herbs, so it was nothing for a doctor with a child to sneak in.

"Tomorrow, they will go to the princess's residence first, and will enter the palace the day after tomorrow. You will know when you see them. As for whether Little Watermelon will enter the palace, it is hard to say. You can go to the princess's residence to see him!"

Speaking of this, Yun Xirou clearly felt that he was in a low mood, with his eyes lowered as if he was thinking about something. It was no wonder that he was in a low mood, as he had only seen his nephew a few times until he was five years old.

Naturally, he would feel a little regretful, thinking about Xu Yimo and the eldest princess, who were twin siblings. The eldest princess already had a five-year-old son. If he was in good health, she might already have a baby of three or four years old.

Moreover, every time his nephew came to the capital, Xu Yimo could not see him. Little Xigua was not like his niece Lanzhi, who could see him at any time. Little Lanzhi took after her sister-in-law Hua Yuelian, and was more like the uncles of the Hua family.

It was also the first time that Xu Yimo met a child who looked like him, so it naturally gave him a different feeling. This was a completely new scene for him.

"Amo, don't be sad. I'll go check on Little Watermelon for you. If there's a way to sneak him in, I'll let you see him. At worst, I can just bring him in covertly."

Yun Xirou thought that if all else failed, she could just sneak it in under her own name, so she carefully closed the door of the hall.

"It's not a long stay anyway, so a short stay is fine. Just stay in my Fengyi Palace. I'll be there to protect you and prevent others from barging in."

In the past, he had no queen or concubines, so there was no one who could take care of such a child at all times. If he asked his sister-in-law to take care of him and visit him too often, it would be against etiquette and easy to be criticized.

It might not be a good idea for my sister and brother-in-law to stay with me. If they were to gather together, they would attract too much attention. They knew how many people in the court were watching the princess's mansion. After all, Xu Shuyao was a princess who had always been involved in politics.

If she moved back to the palace by herself, she would be reported to the emperor, not to mention bringing a quack doctor with her. Some old and pedantic people in the court were always worried that she would usurp the throne.

What must be said, it's not in accordance with etiquette, the princess has violated the etiquette. Xu Shuyao's participation in politics was not recognized in the first place, so she can't be suspected because of this.

The Queen Mother is also old and is unable to do anything. All of the above things are too troublesome and cannot last long. Now that he has me by his side, things are different.

Yun Xirou was secretly delighted that she could also contribute a little. Her goal was to fulfill his every wish.

……

Outside the window, the sound of rain hitting the stone steps gradually fades away. As summer turns to autumn and the seasons change, it is difficult to control the change, and it is also the time when one is most likely to get sick.

Xu Yimo looked out the window and knew that she was going to Bishui Temple today. The sky was getting brighter and the clouds were dispersing, so he thought the rain would soon stop.

"Hmm?! It's daybreak. Has the rain stopped? A-Mo."
