sound. He stood behind the two of them, listening intently to their conversation.Just as they were about to light the smoke bombs, Zong Yu grabbed one person by the collar and threw him back hard.He...Chapter 1229: He Didn't Like Her at All

Fang Jinshu pondered for a moment, "The whereabouts of the Crown Princess still need to be investigated. I must find her before I leave."

Although Zong Yu didn't say anything after learning about his own past, Fang Jinxiu knew in her heart that he must really want to see his birth mother.

After the war between Daxie and Xixia ended, Fu Shangyuan, given his personality, would certainly never allow Zongyu to step foot in Xizhou again. If Princess Qingchang was indeed imprisoned in Xixia, Zongyu would find it incredibly difficult, almost impossible, to see her.

She didn't want A-Yu to return to Xizhou with regrets.

"Okay, I will continue to send people to search for your aunt's whereabouts. Rest assured, I will inform you as soon as there is news."

Since the two had talked about Princess Ruqing's whereabouts in the carriage, Fang Jinshu started receiving information about Princess Ruqing gradually.

She had also suspected that something might have been leaked from He Sheng's side. Finding the whereabouts of the Empress Dowager was a secret, and it couldn't arouse suspicion in King Xixia, otherwise he would surely doubt her identity.

In the distance, Fang Jinshi saw Wang Xiaqin running towards her, her face flushed.

When the person got closer, Fang Jinshu reached out and handed them a handkerchief.

"My lady, what has caused you such haste"

Wang Xiaqin smiled and shook her head. "I'm not worried, I'm happy."

"Husband, do you know that our Western Xia has a princess named Princess Ruohua"

When Fang Jinshi heard Wang Xiaqin utter that name, her heart skipped a beat and her expression almost betrayed her.

"I seem to have heard of her before, but after being in the capital for so long, I've never met this princess. Has she gone on a trip far away"

Wang Xiaoqin shook her head. "It's not a trip out of town. Princess Ruoheng had entered the Buddhist temple years ago and devoted herself to Buddhism. She likes peace and quiet, so Your Majesty didn't allow anyone to disturb the princess anymore."

"For so many years, the eldest princess has been in seclusion. When I was very young, my parents mentioned her, and this eldest princess is no ordinary woman."

Fang Jinshu was rather curious about this mother-in-law she had never met.

"Oh How unusual."

"I heard my mother say that the Crown Princess acts and speaks differently from ordinary women. She is the one who dares to stand before His Majesty and scold him."

“It is said that after marrying the Emperor Daxhi, she even fought with the Empress of Daxhi!”

Uh

Fang Jinshu's eyes widened suddenly. She had never heard of this before. Was the Princess so brave

"That's truly remarkable." Remarkable courage.

"You rushed over to me, Your Highness. Does the Princess have any news"

Wang Xiaoqin nodded hurriedly, “Yes, Your Majesty is going to hold a birthday banquet for the eldest princess. The location will be in the palace, inviting dignitaries from all over Wangdu to come to the palace to celebrate the eldest princess’s birthday.”

"This is your invitation."

Fang Jinshi was beyond shocked. They had been looking for him for half a year, and he'd been hiding in the palace all along.

She had been in and out of the Xixia Palace countless times. At first, she had thought that the Princess would be hidden by the Xixia King within the palace. But on second thought, she didn't think it was very likely.

Although the palace is heavily guarded, after all, there are many people and it's bound to be gossipy. If the Princess truly lived inside, it wouldn't be possible for there to be no news about her after all these years.

So she later had Her Sheng focus his efforts on some hidden places outside the palace, doing his best to search.

Didn't she expect this Has she been played by the King of Xixia under her own nose

"My dear wife, don't worry so much. Even if it is like this, you shouldn't rush around so frantically. Wipe your sweat and have some water."

Fang Jinxiu's performance was very considerate. The two had been married for more than half a year, and every time Wang Xiaqin saw her husband's face, she couldn't help but blush and feel flustered.

She shyly approached Fang Jinshu's side and took the cup she offered.

Actually, Wang Xiaqin is very satisfied and happy with her married life with Fang Yu. Moreover, judging from Fang Yu's performance over the past six months, her grandfather has already placed all the hopes of the Wang family on him. It shows that she didn't choose the wrong person at first.

There was just one thing she never quite understood, why her husband was so reluctant to let her become pregnant and have a child.

Fang Yu's explanation was for her health, saying that a woman is best not to give birth before the age of twenty. Although she looks like an adult on the outside, many parts of her body are still developing inside.

Early pregnancy and childbirth can harm one's health, even shorten one's lifespan. He did not want his wife to be harmed in any way because of pregnancy and childbirth.

When Wang Xiaqin heard this reason, her heart was as sweet as honey. She was indeed young, only just over seventeen, and her grandfather finally agreed that she could hold off on getting pregnant for now.

So the two of them have never consummated their marriage. Aside from holding hands and hugging, there has been no further intimate contact.

But since her marriage, the noblewomen of Kyoto had come to regard her as a veteran. Sometimes at gatherings, they would discuss taboo topics with abandon, and always tease her about being a newlywed, sharing tips on marital pleasures.

Wang Xiaqin, who was simple-minded, had her eyes opened to a new world by a group of unscrupulous rich ladies. She also only recently realized that men and women are different.

Men are generally quite enthusiastic about sex, and holding back for too long can also be harmful to their health.

Unmarried men sometimes can't control their impulses and go to brothels for pleasure, let alone men in their thirties. Men in their thirties are at the peak of their physical condition and certainly have those needs.

So Wang Xiaoqin became even more puzzled. Her husband seemed to have never been particularly interested in intimate matters. Sometimes his demeanor made her afraid to even think about being disrespectful towards him.

This seems to be different from other couples. It's natural for men to be lustful, even if Fang Yujing respects and loves her, he shouldn't even disregard his wife's sexual desire.

Unless, of course, he simply doesn't like her.

But looking at this face full of love and tenderness, Wang Xiaqin wavered. Fang Yu had treated her so well; if this wasn't liking, then what was

He wouldn't even glance at other women, let alone socialize with them outside.

Besides attending court, he stayed at home. Even when he went out, his father and grandfather sent guards with him. Fang Yu had never done anything out of line.

"It's just the Long Princess's birthday banquet, why is Madam so happy" Fang Jinxiu found it a bit strange and asked.

Xiaoqin had never met the Princess, how could she be so happy at the princess's birthday banquet and run straight to him

When it comes to Wang Xiaqin, I get a little embarrassed.

"Someone from the palace said that this banquet will allow wives and concubines to attend. You've never brought me even though you're busy with other things all day. Now that there's finally a banquet we can go to together, of course I'm happy."

And Princess Long is also a legendary figure in our Xia Kingdom. It's perfectly normal to be happy about getting to meet her.

Wang Xiaqin looked away after finishing her sentence, daring not to meet Fang Jinxiu's gaze.

It's true that she wants to enter the palace with her husband for the banquet. As for what comes after, she's not entirely lying. It is indeed a happy occasion to see the Grand Princess, but what she's most excited about is having more time with her husband.tably follow them there and continue to spend money on them.Men are very attracted to novelty.
