His husband's deep love both shocked Xia Xi and made him feel at ease, but he was still a little guilty about Cai Huan. So every time Chu Lan sent something good, he would share it with Cai Huan. His belly was getting bigger and bigger, and big robes couldn't cover it any longer. The imperial doctor advised him to take walks appropriately, so Xia Xi would walk in the Palace during the day when the sun was mild and not so hot.
The Palace had been renovated and a new garden was built. Although it wasn't as broad as the back garden of the Xia Palace, after planting much flowers and plants, it indeed became a suitable place for walking. Xia Xi had been walking when he ran into Cai Huan who was also there for a walk, so they became walking companions for their everyday walks. Cai Huan still had the same lively temper as before. She had been with Xia Xi for several years, and she was most equipped on how to make him laugh. She worked hard, so Xia Xi who was walking with her was always in a good mood.
The plants and trees in the garden were all from other places, many of them were varieties that the Barbarians didn't originally have. The blooming flowers were also colorful, which attracted not only the two masters, but also many Palace servants. Xia Xi wasn't a harsh person, seeing them come there to frolick, he didn't stop them, he just told them not to pick the flowers or step on the grass.
That day, the two of them were still walking in the garden, with only Lan Duo'er following behind them. Cai ahuan supported Xia Xi's arm and suddenly asked, "Where's the son adopted by Your Highness? Why isn't he present for his filial piety?"
Xia Xi smiled and said: "He's gone to study. He's good at martial arts, horseback riding, and archery. I asked the King to find a master for him, he has a tight schedule full of daily courses, so he doesn't have much free time."
Cai Huan curled her lips and said, "His Highness spoils him too much, he's still dumb in the end. By the way, Your Highness, since when did he become dumb? Was he dumb from birth?"
Xia Xi said: "I don't know. When I saw him, he couldn't speak, but he was smart and learned everything quickly. He was much better than me when I was a kid, my King also said that he was a malleable talent. In the future, he can be someone with qualifications for being a general."
Cai Huan couldn't help but mock: "I've never heard of any general who's dumb." Xia Xi frowned slightly when he heard her excessiveness. "Cai Huan..." Cai Huan stuck her tongue out at him, revealing a mischievous smile, "I know, that kid is now the flesh and blood of His Royal Highness, I can't say anything, I can't say anything." Xia Xi wanted to explain with a few more words, but he suddenly heard a small noise from a bush not far away. The voices seemed to be two Palace men conversing, Xia Xi stopped talking and couldn't help but listen, his expression changed after hearing what they said.
A Palace servant whispered: "The Queen is so strange. She lived in the temple, but the King had never visited her there, even if he had, he cannot go every day. Who knows if this child is really the King's heir?"
Another person also agreed: "Yes, everyone's spreading rumours, saying that the Queen might've had an affair with other men..."
"The Queen's very beautiful, any man that won't be moved by her isn't a true man. I also heard that she's very licentious. It was still daytime, but she was copulating inside the Palace with the King... her moans almost overturned the Palace roof."
"..."
When Xia Xi heard the gossip, he didn't feel very strongly about the doubts of his child's father, but when he heard the latter sentence, he felt even the roots of his ears burn. His face was fully flushed with shame. He hadn't reacted yet when Cai Huan besides him marched over, she straightened her waist and said fiercely: "What kind of absurdity do you think you're saying? Do you think you can just talk about His Highness? Don't you want your tongue anymore?"
The two Palace servants were startled and quickly knelt down, shaking all over. Xia Xi didn't want to confront them, he just wanted to walk away quietly. But when Cai Huan came over, he had to show his presence. When he heard the two Palace servants scream for mercy, he said, "It's alright, let's go now."
The two Palace servants didn't expect him to be so generous, he didn't even punish them for their words. Xia Xi hesitantly said: "You guys wait." He opened his mouth after a long time, he asked: "Where did the rumours you discussed come from?"
The two Palace servants looked at each other in panic, one of them was a little bolder and said: "Right, where I heard... it's been spreading in the Palace..."
Cai Huan said angrily: "Who made you so bold?" Xia Xi quickly said: "Forget it, you can go."
After this, Xia Xi wasn't in the mood to continue his walk and listened to Cai Huan's counsel absent-mindedly. After he had finished listening, he hurried back to his bedroom. Along the way, he always felt that other Palace servants looked at him differently. He was embarrassed and his pace quickened, he made a bee line for it.
It was a relief when he saw that there were no outsiders in the bedroom. Xia Xi felt like his whole body was hot, especially his cheeks and ears, as if smoke was about to come out of it. After pouring himself two cups of tea, the heat decreased only ever so slightly. Lan Duo'er wasn't fond of talking, when she saw that he was uncomfortable, she didn't say much, she just left to stand in the outer hall quietly.
There was no one left in the inner hall, Xia Xi couldn't help covering his face, but he still seemed be able to hear their words.
"Copulating in the Palace with the King in broad daylight... moans almost overturning the Palace roof."
Xia Xi couldn't remember how many times he had sex with Chu Lan during the day. Sometimes Chu Lan would come back to dine with him at noon and said that he would accompany him to take a nap. The two of them then couldn't help but touch each other in bed. They would react, swarmed with heat, and then start to get out of control. Chu Lan's sexual ability was strong, and he always seemed to deliberately be unable to take care of his desires by himself. There were times where he did become uncontrollably loud in bed, but Xia Xi hadn't expected to not only to be heard by others, but also for a rumour to spread out.
Thinking of the foul things he had said, the coquettish words that he uttered so that Chu Lan would fuck him, Xia Xi couldn't wait to stay in this room forever and not go out to meet anyone for the rest of his life.
The more he thought about it, the more ashamed he was, his heart beat faster than usual. He didn't know how long he stayed like that, after a while he heard a series of swift footsteps, and soon enough Chu Lan appeared in front of him.
There was a bit anxiety on the tall man's face. Xia Xi guessed that Lan Duo'er must've sent someone to tell the King of what he had just experienced. There wasn't much ripples in his heart, but when he caught his sight, the words he had heard echoed in his mind again. Xia Xi was ashamed and quickly turned his face away, he subconsciously wanted to avoid Chu Lan so he hurried to the bed.
Before he could go to the bed, the man behind chased him. He hugged him with ease and stared at him with furrowed brows, "What's the matter? Running as soon as you see me?"
Xia Xi was embarrassed, he gently pushed his chest and whispered: "D-Don't do this... it isn't dark yet..."
Chu Lan ignored him and picked him up. He sat them on the bed first, then put him on his lap. He pinched his chin to force him to look at himself and asked, "What's the matter? Did those rumours make you mad? Don't worry, I'll teach them for you, I'll find out the source and won't wrong you." He only thought that Xia Xi was mad for having his faithfulness suspected, because that was all that Lan Duo'er had said. The person in his arms didn't say a word. Chu Lan caressed his belly, he kissed his lips and said softly: "Other people don't know how your belly got big, but don't I know? Why are you still embarrassed in front of me? Your belly was filled full by me, I'm Xi'er's only man! Otherwise, I'll have the Palace head spread the truth and pass a punishment tomorrow to see who still dares gossip."
Xia Xi was taken aback and looked at him blankly, "What truth?"
The corners of Chu Lan's mouth rose and he said happily, "It's of course, about how your belly got big because of me."
Xia Xi was stunned, after a while, he covered his mouth in shame, "No, no, how can this be done? Besides, it's not because of that..." Chu Lan grabbed his hand and kissed him, he asked leisurely: "What's the reason then?"
Perceiving the changes beneath his buttocks, Xia Xi's breathing was messed up, and he shyly moved his hips uncomfortably. Chu Lan seemed to have gotten some hint, he dipped his hand into his trousers and wanted to touch him. Xia Xi quickly clamped his legs to stop his movements and gasped: "Don't be like this... it's still day, don't do such a thing... we'll be heard..."
Chu Lan immediately understood what was really bothering Xia Xi. He smirked and leaned forward, saying in a low voice, "Oh, it turns out that my Xi'er cares about this. What did the others say?"
Xia Xi was so embarrassed that he couldn't look at him at all, he whispered: "T-That we do it in broad daylight... and do it so loudly too..." The smirk on Chu Lan's face almost rose up to his ears. His heart trembled and he couldn't bear it any longer, Xia Xi whispered: "It's all my King's..." But he didn't say anything more.
It was Chu Lan's first time seeing him like this. He found it very interesting and liked his ruffled appearance very much. He kissed his cheek and ears and said: "Yes, blame me, I can't help but kiss my Xi'er, hug my Xier, and lick my Xier's tender cunt, so that my Xi'er can't help but beg me to feed him with my big cock. I was wrong, alright?"
Xia Xi was both ashamed and angered by his description, the images of them engaged in love making immediately appeared in his mind. The ends of his eyes were red and he shamefully said, "S-stop talking..."
Chu Lan laughed happily, he then stared at him with an aggrieved look, "But Xi'er can't completely blame me, who made Xi'er so beautiful? His beauty touches my heart, with his beautiful lips and beautiful neck. His newly grown breasts are also beautiful, and his cunt and asshole that could suck and pinch are so tender and soft. I just want to insert myself in them fiercely and fill you up..."
Hearing his words become more and more adulterous, Xia Xi covered his ears and almost ascended to heaven in shame¹, "Don't say that... ohhh..."
After bullying him like this, Chu Lan felt satisfied and skillfully unbuttoned his pants and spread his legs. When he saw the scene between his thighs, he became even more pleased and whispered: "Xi'er obviously likes it very much, so much water is flowing out, can I help you lick it clean? Xier's small cunt also likes eating my tongue, right?"
"Wuuu... it's still day... how can..." Xia Xi was ashamed to death, but couldn't restrain his body's desire. In the end he was crushed by the tall man, licked and eaten, and then fed with a meat stick. Only then did the craze subside.
