The servants of the Prince Su Mansion were extremely efficient. By the time He Yan finished his lunch, the carriage was already prepared and ready to depart on the other side.
This carriage was specially made by Prince Su after he climbed through He Yan's window that night, considering He Yan's usual delicate style. Not only was it more spacious than the previous one in the prince's mansion, but the comfort level was also greatly improved. There was a wide soft couch in the back, even if two grown men were lying on it, they would not feel crowded at all.
Compared to the technologically advanced worlds he had been to, the life of the ancients was still a bit monotonous. Since entering Prince Su Mansion, apart from handling the affairs of the mansion, He Yan had nothing else to do. With too much free time, in order to pass the time, He Yan slowly developed the habit of taking afternoon naps.
Setting off right after lunch, He Yan inevitably felt sleepy on the way to the countryside villa in the capital, and finally fell asleep on the soft couch covered with thick quilts.
Prince Su also lay down with him, but did not fall asleep.
He lay on the outer side of the soft couch, holding He Yan in his arms, quietly gazing at the sleeping face of the person in his arms, which looked exceptionally obedient compared to when he was awake, to prevent this person from rolling off the soft couch in his sleep.
In order to take care of the two nobles in the carriage, the coachman carefully controlled the speed. And because they were taking the official road this time, the road was very flat, so the carriage did not bump much along the way, and He Yan slept very soundly in Prince Su's arms.
Of course, the downside of going slowly was that by the time the group arrived at the suburban villa in the capital, the sun had already moved to the west.
At this hour, there was naturally no time to take a good stroll in the villa today. So as soon as the two got off the carriage, they had the servants arrange the clothes and other things they had brought into the bedroom, and went directly to the side room for dinner.
Because he had already eaten a lot at noon and had been sleeping in the carriage all afternoon without moving much, He Yan actually didn't have much of an appetite now. After casually eating a few bites, he felt full and put down his chopsticks.
Seeing this, Prince Su picked up some of his favorite dishes and put them in his bowl, persuading in a low voice, "Eat some more."
He Yan picked up two chopsticks and poked at them, lacking interest, "No, I've already gained so much weight these days because of you. Last time I saw Yuanwen, he even teased me for gaining two sizes."
A flash of fierceness flashed in Prince Su's eyes, and he silently made a mental note of Mu Yuanwen.
Their family's Ah Ming was too thin before, all bones, even a bit bony to hold.
The first time he saw Ah Ming, he felt that this person was a bit too thin. After getting together, he pondered every day on how to fatten him up. Now that he was just starting to see results, someone was already rushing to ruin it!
He Yan could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his face, so he snorted lightly, "Don't go holding grudges against people for no reason. It's something I can see for myself in the mirror, so I can't blame others for pointing it out. Do you think if you forbid the servants from speaking, I won't be able to feel it myself?"
Prince Su was silent for a while before saying, "Ah Ming is not fat."
His Ah Ming needed to grow some more meat to feel better in his arms.
He Yan rolled his eyes, "Yes, yes, I'm not fat now, but at the rate you're feeding me, I'm afraid I won't be able to see people in three months."
Although he didn't expect to be able to develop eight-pack abs with this pampered young master's body in the future, he couldn't let himself go and allow himself to expand horizontally.
Prince Su had always been unable to win against his beloved in verbal arguments, and this time was no exception. After being lectured for a while, he didn't refute and just ate He Yan's portion of the meal clean.
After the meal, the two met with the servants in the main hall of the villa and finally left the steward with a few words.
The steward of this villa was a middle-aged man who was originally a home-born son in Emperor Wen Xiao's mansion when he was still the crown prince. After Emperor Wen Xiao allocated this villa to Prince Su, he was selected to come here to take care of it. The deeds of his entire family were held in Prince Su Mansion, so he was very loyal.
Because this villa was specifically used for the master to enjoy the scenery and have fun in autumn and winter, there was no income. The servants' entire job was to take care of the flowers, trees, and maintain the basic cleanliness of the courtyard. There were not many daily affairs, and the account books were simple. He Yan flipped through them and did not find any errors or omissions.
After the steward finished reporting the affairs of the villa to He Yan, he hesitated for a while and said, "Consort, this servant has another matter to report."
He Yan raised his eyes slightly, "Speak."
"Thank you, Consort," the steward said, "The hot spring in the back mountain was originally scheduled to be completed at the end of the month, but it was completed ahead of schedule a few days ago and is now ready for use. It's just that there was no time to report it to the capital before the masters arrived. If Your Highnesses wish to soak in the hot spring, you can instruct this servant to prepare it at any time."
He Yan was aware of the fact that there was a hot spring under renovation in this villa.
This renovation was a routine pre-winter overhaul to prepare for the masters to come and soak in the hot spring in winter.
According to previous years, this hot spring should have started being repaired in early autumn, but two or three months ago, the entire Prince Su Mansion was busy preparing for the wedding, so it was inevitably neglected a bit, and the renovation of the hot spring was delayed for some time.
However, he came here on a whim just yesterday, for the purpose of stretching his limbs and not being lazy to death in Prince Su Mansion. It just so happened that among Prince Su's villas, only this one had a decent autumn scenery, so he decided on this place. He didn't originally come for the hot spring.
If the hot spring wasn't repaired, he wouldn't soak in it this time. If he wanted to soak, he could come again in winter, since it wasn't far anyway.
But he didn't expect the renovation of the hot spring to be completed ahead of schedule, which could be considered an unexpected pleasant surprise.
So He Yan thought about it for a moment and nodded, instructing the steward, "Go and arrange it, the Prince and I will go in a bit."
The steward secretly glanced at the expressionless Prince Su beside him. Seeing that he had no reaction, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "This servant will go and prepare now."
Prince Su saw his appearance and frowned with some displeasure, scaring the steward's face pale.
He Yan didn't mind, and casually called out a name. A maid beside him consciously followed the steward out to help prepare the two's personal items.
After leaving the room, the two walked halfway when the maid suddenly spoke coldly, "The housekeeper has always been at the manor and has never served the Prince and Consort. He may not know that in our prince's mansion, the Consort is always in charge."
These servants have always relied on the grace of their masters to make a living. This maid was the personal attendant of the Consort, so even though her status was only that of a maid, she could still pressure the housekeeper of this side courtyard.
Thinking of the glare Prince Su had just given him, the housekeeper couldn't help but feel apprehensive, and stammered, "This... I will go to the Consort tonight to apologize for my offense."
The maid said, "Let it go this time. The Consort is kind-hearted and won't hold it against you. But please remember, housekeeper, there will definitely not be a next time."
The housekeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and quickly said, "Thank you, Miss, for the reminder. I will remember it, remember it..."
After finishing dinner, He Yan and Prince Su strolled around the side courtyard for a while to digest their food, then changed into loose and comfortable clothes and went to the hot spring behind the side courtyard.
The hot spring in this side courtyard was cleverly surrounded by a semi-open pavilion, which had a very romantic atmosphere. The pool was not large, only able to accommodate less than ten people, but there were only two of them, so it was more than enough.
Moreover, the color of the hot spring was like jade, and the mist was like beautiful sulfur. It could be called a top-quality hot spring.
This body had a cold constitution, and now that it was only late autumn, it was already a bit unbearable. At night, without burning charcoal, his hands and feet would feel cold. Seeing the faint steam rising from the hot spring, He Yan felt a warmth rushing towards his face and couldn't wait to go down and soak in it.
Knowing that the two masters never liked to be served by servants when undressing, the maids put down the things the masters would need and consciously lowered their heads and withdrew.
Prince Su lowered his head to remove He Yan's simple clothes that were specifically worn for soaking in the hot spring. After taking off the middle garment, he hesitated for a moment, afraid that He Yan would be cold, and didn't dare to take it all off, leaving only a pair of underpants.
As soon as Prince Su let go, He Yan quickly slipped into the steaming pool, leaving Prince Su alone by the pool to undress.
Prince Su undressing himself was much more simple and crude compared to undressing He Yan. In a few moments, he stripped himself naked and also jumped into the pool with a "splash", coming straight to He Yan's side and hugging him from behind.
The air was cold, but the spring water surrounding the body was very hot, and the chest pressed tightly against his back was also scorching. Before long, He Yan was steamed by this double heat source until fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
The person behind him turned his body around to face him, supported his shoulders, and slowly licked the water traces from the corner of his forehead.
He Yan reached out and pushed him away a little, "Don't lick, it's dirty."
Prince Su looked down at the young man in front of him, whose eyes and brows were filled with comfort from soaking in the hot spring, his voice hoarse, "It's not dirty."
With that, he leaned over again and sucked on his cheek.
The young man's face was flushed from being soaked in the hot spring, and his exposed neck and a small piece of chest were also adorably pink. Even his eyes were tinged with a hint of moisture, unconsciously showing a few traces of charm. This soft, quietly reproachful appearance made Prince Su's heart swell with the desire to confine the young man in his arms and bully him fiercely.
Even if the young man couldn't take it halfway through and tugged at his arm begging for mercy with a delicate and soft voice, he would definitely not let him off easily...
However, Prince Su only thought about it... If He Yan didn't give the word, he definitely wouldn't dare to pounce.
He Yan, being stared at by the man's unabashedly lustful eyes, reached out and stirred under the water, unsurprisingly being poked, knowing that this man's thoughts were stirring again.
In fact, He Yan couldn't understand. Although Prince Su looked like a bandit and should be classified as a wolf dog no matter how you looked at him, he was exceptionally obedient in front of him, as if he was afraid of angering him. Many times, even when he was already provoked to the point of red eyes, he still had to endure and wait for He Yan to give the word before he could start doing as he pleased.
To have a person completely under control, especially a man in a high position of power, was undoubtedly a very fulfilling thing. Although he knew it was not generous of him, He Yan still often had a wicked interest in provoking the man to the brink before allowing him to make a move.
Of course, the more excessively he teased, the more intense the man's counterattack would be afterwards. In the half month after their marriage, there were several times he couldn't get out of bed because he had played too much the night before and was "reciprocated" upon again and again by Prince Su who was unleashed...
Under the increasingly scorching gaze of the man, He Yan pulled back his somewhat wandering thoughts.
Looking at the stiff Prince Su in front of him, he suddenly curled his lips and took the initiative to step forward, hooking his arms around the other's neck.
Prince Su immediately understood and reached out to embrace the young man in his arms.
He Yan leaned close to his ear, his tone containing a hint of obvious playfulness, "Your Highness, I'm hot. Please do me a favor and take off my underpants."
