Chapter 005: A Room Filled with Subtle Fragrance

I am very thirsty! The New Year's greeting carries a double meaning. Seeing my esteemed sister change back into her usual attire, my mind keeps replaying the image of her just now wearing the breastplate. I feel parched, and after downing a cup of tea in one go, I place the cup on the table. Noticing the dragon and phoenix twins sleeping soundly, and with the maid not present, I cannot hold back any longer. I pull my esteemed sister over and passionately kiss her at the edge of the bed.

Everyone was saying: "With one hand holding the official seal and the other holding a small hoe. This is ..." Before finishing, they saw Xiao Ganlan and He Yuan causing a commotion together, and couldn't help but shout: "Oh, fighting! The girl is still trying to snatch the official seal from the boy, does she want to become an official when she grows up? It's a pity that our dynasty does not have positions for female officials." As they spoke, they all laughed.

As He Nian turned his head after drinking tea, he nearly had a nosebleed. Under the soft candlelight, the noble lady revealed her two snow-white arms. A transparent light gauze wrapped around her chest, casually tied in a knot at her back, subtly hinting at the armor she wore underneath, which was the same one from last night. Noticing He Nian's gaze, the noble lady reclined sideways on the bed, propping her chin up with one snow-white arm. Beneath the gauze, her curves were exquisite, her skin like congealed fat, and her eyes sparkled with a captivating brilliance. Seeing He Nian looking over, the noble lady reclined sideways on the bed, propping her chin up with one snow-white arm. Beneath the gauze, her curves were exquisite, her skin like congealed fat, and her eyes sparkled with a captivating brilliance.

Is it referring to this fragrance or to me

Where could one resist the New Year festivities? Taking a few steps forward, I leaped onto the bed in a flash, breathless, and exclaimed: "Little enchantress, I have arrived!"

Indeed, people from different eras have vastly different aesthetic sensibilities. The noble lady slightly shook her head, changed back into her original attire, and tossed the breastplate onto the bed. Suddenly, she heard a "creak" from outside the window, and she couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Who is it?" The spring oriole and autumn swallow had already opened the door to come out and check. Then, they heard He Nian's voice saying, "It is I!"

Your sister smiled and said, "Time flies so quickly, they are already one year old. Tomorrow we need to have another small bed made to separate them for sleeping!"

What should I grab? He Yuan touched the official seal nearby, quietly pushing it a little towards the small olive. Just as he was about to reach for a book, he caught a glimpse of the small olive staring at the dazzling rouge box, and couldn't help but exclaim inwardly that it was not good. If the young gentleman grabs this, it would be easy for his grandmother and father to categorize him as someone like Bao Er Ye, which would lead to preconceived notions. Then he heard Chun Ying and Qiu Yan anxiously say: "Brother, grab the official seal! Sister, grab the money!" The rest of the crowd smiled and cheered: "Grab it, grab it!"

He Yuan saw that Xiao Ganlan was about to take a bite of the official seal, so he raised a poetry collection to draw Xiao Ganlan's attention. When Xiao Ganlan noticed that the small hoe she had originally set her sights on had been pushed aside by He Yuan, she wrapped the official seal around her arm while quickly reaching out with her other hand to grab the small hoe. He Yuan, fearing that Xiao Ganlan would drop the official seal, bent his arm to indicate that he wanted to snatch the official seal. Seeing that He Yuan wanted to take something from her again, Xiao Ganlan hurriedly hugged the official seal tightly to her chest with one hand, while raising the small hoe with the other to strike at the rouge box in He Yuan's hand.

During the Zhua Zhou ceremony, the dragon and phoenix twins were brought onto the stage. Upon seeing a table full of items, little Olive became excited, touching this and that. He Yuan also excitedly followed suit, exploring various objects. There was no way to explain it; some unknown factor within their bodies was at play, causing their reactions to be just like those of a real infant, little Olive. At that moment, seeing the items on the table, not only were there the usual poetry collections and official copper coins, but there were also brightly colored and eye-catching rouge boxes and amusing little shovels. Unable to contain themselves, they danced with joy, loving each item they encountered.

"No need to boast, I am watching you while..." The usually melodious and gentle voice now carries a slight huskiness, imbued with an irresistible sensuality.

Haha, the young man is feeling jealous! You always act affectionately in front of us children, showing no regard for propriety. He Yuan decided to lend a hand to Xiao Ganlan, who also climbed up at this moment, supporting herself against the bed railing to stand up, reaching out to tug at He Nian's head resting on Gui Jie'er's shoulder, while babbling and making noises.

Seeing this, the elder sister couldn't help but laugh, and turned to He Nian saying, "You go ahead and sleep, I will lull them to sleep before going to bed myself"

On the evening of the second day, as night fell, He Nian remained in the room, unwilling to go out, claiming it was to help the noble sister soothe the twins to sleep

Wow... the twins were sleeping soundly when suddenly they were shaken awake, and they both started crying.

Young man, do you still want to fight with me? Come on, who’s afraid of whom! He Yuan also broke free from He Nian's hand, firmly holding onto the poetry collection and the rouge box. She struck a pose as if to say, if you dare to come over, we will engage in a fierce battle of three hundred rounds. At this, everyone couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sister's expression is just amusing!"

Xiao Ganlan was unable to compete with He Yuan for two consecutive items, which ignited a spark of anger within her. She broke free from Gui Jie’s grasp, slightly spread her arms, holding the official seal in one hand and a small hoe in the other, steadily advancing towards the small round ball with a fierce aura.

Due to the loud noise in the room, He Yuan was awakened. In a daze, he recited several lines of Ami Doufu, turning over to warn the two people caught in their passion. As expected, their noise diminished significantly. Thus, our dear He Yuan, with a racing heart, silently muttered a few phrases of "Oh, heavens," and fell back into a deep sleep.

It is truly excruciating!

I went to the study! Hearing the cries of the twins, He Nian could only let go of Guijie, feeling dejected as he headed to the study.

Well, the undergarment I am wearing was previously scented, and now, under the heat of the candle flame, the fragrance has dispersed.

"In a while, we won't be able to sleep in the same room anymore. They will have to move to the front guest room to sleep," He Nian said as he gently walked over, wrapped his arms around Guijie'er’s waist from behind, rested his head on her shoulder, and looked at the dragon and phoenix twins on the bed, saying: "You two, hurry up and go to sleep; if you keep playing, it will be dawn soon."

"Why did you only come back at this time? Are you not going to send my grandmother home? Everyone is waiting for you to drink, aren't they? I remember that at this time in previous years, my family would have already started brewing rice wine." The noble lady casually tucked away her breastplate and, noticing He Nian entering the room in a hurry with a flushed face, quickly instructed Ying and Qiu Yan to tidy up the study in preparation for He Nian's rest. She then poured a cup of tea and placed it in He Nian's hand, saying, "You must be thirsty, right? My grandmother, seeing that we are not far from home, refuses to take any sedan chair or carriage and insists on walking, which made you accompany her back and forth."

Upon hearing your sister's suggestive words, He Nian was already filled with springtime feelings, and with a beaming smile, he said: "I will go to bed and wait for you"

It looks too unsightly! The spring oriole and autumn swallow could not bear to see the noble lady wearing this breastplate, and hurriedly handed her the clothes, saying: "Miss, please change your clothes quickly. It would be better not to wear this in the future. If the young master sees it, he might think a demon has descended upon the world"

As the dragon and phoenix twins were fast asleep, He Nian closed the door to the room, embraced the noble sister, and without rushing into intimacy, quietly said: "Last night when I came in, did I not see an unfamiliar piece of undergarment by the pillow? Let me see you wear it!"

"Well, you go ahead and dress! I will have a cup of tea!" He Nian wanted to tell the esteemed lady that he had seen her charming figure last night, dressed in that outfit and draped in a light veil, while peeking from outside the window. However, the words were on the tip of his tongue but he could not bring himself to say them, and for a moment, he turned his head to drink tea

Sister Gui felt that He Nian's body was burning hot, and she was somewhat moved. However, recalling Mrs. He’s instructions, she could not allow He Nian to stay in the room at this moment, so she had to resolutely push him away and say: "Good husband, let’s wait until tomorrow night..." Before she could finish her sentence, her lips were blocked again, and she heard He Nian murmur: "Just one more kiss!" In the midst of their pushing and pulling, they both rolled to the ground and accidentally bumped into the foot of the small bed where the twins were sleeping, causing the bed to shake suddenly.

Days passed by one after another, and in the blink of an eye, a year has gone by. The heat of summer has returned, and the twins have turned one year old.

Dad, it's still early, why are you in such a hurry? He Yuan was held in He Nian's arms, and he could only hear He Nian softly coaxing, "Little Yuanqiu, hurry up and sleep! The more you sleep, the easier it is to grow up!" Dad, calling me like that makes it really hard for me to fall asleep. At least let our mother feed us well, give us a warm embrace, and pat us a few times before we can sleep! Dad, you really have no experience in soothing children! He Yuan sighed while expressing his dissatisfaction with a few "wah wah" cries in protest. Calling me like that makes it really hard for me to fall asleep. At least let our mother feed us well, give us a warm embrace, and pat us a few times before we can sleep! Dad, you really have no experience in soothing children! He Yuan sighed while expressing his dissatisfaction with a few "wah wah" cries in protest.

The little olive saw the red rouge box being taken away, and couldn't help but feel angry. Just as she was about to snatch it back, she noticed He Yuan turning around to look at other things. For a moment, she couldn't reach her and had to turn her attention to the little hoe, which was small and looked amusing.

New Year lament: "I can't sleep either, why don't you come and comfort me?"

By the time they returned to the room, Xiao Ganlan still held a grudge and lay on the small bed poking He Yuan, who also widened his eyes and poked back at him, and the two continued to playfully tease each other

The dragon and phoenix twins are learning to walk for the first time, and after taking just a few steps, they stop, too afraid to continue. The adults each hold them and smile, saying: "It's quite rare for them to walk at just one year old! Soon they will be walking, and after a while, they will start talking!"

The esteemed sister has been enchanting for quite some time, and now she is already emotionally stirred. When He Nian's warm lips approached, she still instinctively shrank back a little, but was firmly embraced by He Nian, her ears filled with sweet nothings that made her blush and her heart race

Oh dear... Little Olive saw He Nian resting his head on Sister Gui's shoulder, and he became displeased. He sat up abruptly, pointing at He Nian with one hand while holding onto the bed railing with the other, making sounds of protest without knowing what to say.

No, no, let's talk about it after we blow! The soft and gentle female voice was low, carrying a somewhat enticing plea that stirred one's blood.

What do you think

Your sister is already busy going up to hug the little olive. She placed it on the ground

A voice said: "What is this fragrance?"

Ah, young man, why haven't you grabbed the official seal yet? Regardless of whether you will become an official in the future, obtaining the official seal will surely please the officials. You should hurry up and get it! He Yuan noticed that Xiao Ganlan was entirely focused on the small hoe and showed no interest in the official seal, so he had no choice but to cover the small hoe with the poetry collection he was holding to prevent Xiao Ganlan from taking it. Xiao Ganlan touched the poetry collection and started to wrestle with He Yuan for it. Seeing that she couldn't win, she called out "Ah, ah" a couple of times and had to let go. In her helplessness, she casually picked up the official seal nearby and started to play with it.

The dragon and phoenix twins have fallen asleep. The noble lady took off her outer garment, wearing only a light dress, and turned to blow out the candlelight. A faint moonlight spilled in from the window, illuminating her figure. He Nian had been preparing for this moment for a long time; he could no longer wait for her to approach slowly. He jumped out of bed, embraced her, and spun her around, pressing her against the edge of the bed, lifting her legs high, busy and delighted. He then leaned close to her ear and whispered several lines of utterly embarrassing sweet nothings.

Feathers are scattered all over the ground! He Yuan secretly sweats, Ami Tofu, this pair is truly infatuated with each other

He Yuan heard Gui Jie encouraging, "Grab it, grab it!" Yet there was a hint of barely perceptible anxiety in her tone. It seemed she was also worried that Xiao Ganlan would snatch the rouge box. He quickly shifted his little bottom over a bit, using his left hand to grab a poetry collection first, then extending his right hand to press down on the rouge box before Xiao Ganlan could reach it, seizing it in one swift motion. He then heard Gui Jie let out a sigh of relief and laugh, "Little Yuanqiu is truly greedy, grabbing two things at once."

As the New Year approached, when he lifted the delicate veil of the esteemed lady, he heard her still saying: "After extinguishing the candlelight..."

He also busily picked up the small round ball and placed it on the other side. He smiled and said, "Alright, alright, each person can grab two items, so everyone has something to play with, no need to fight over it!"

In her sleep, He Yuan turned over again, repeatedly murmuring in her dream: Ami Tofu, Ami Tofu

Upon hearing this, the elder sister looked at He Nian with a smile that was not quite a smile and said, "After I have coaxed them, I will coax you next"

The elder sister took the little olive out to relieve itself, making everything neat and tidy, and only then did she begin to feed it. Before long, the little olive fell asleep. After placing the little olive in the crib and tucking in the blanket, the elder sister took the baby He Yuan from He Nian's hands, kissed it a few times, and said with a smile: "My dear little round ball, your father only talks about letting you sleep, but he hasn't fed you, so of course you can't sleep, can you?" Saying this, she took He Yuan out to relieve itself again, and then used a towel to clean it up once more before bringing it back to the room to feed. She smiled and repeated: "My dear little round ball, your father only talks about letting you sleep, but he hasn't fed you, so of course you can't sleep, can you?" After taking He Yuan out to relieve itself again and cleaning it up with a towel, she finally brought it back to the room to feed. After all, He Yuan was still an infant; although it wanted to watch the grand performance, it was unable to do so, and after being fed, it fell into a deep sleep.

Mrs. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Usually, when one is held, the other can't be found, and then there is crying. Now they are fighting again?"

The spring oriole and the autumn swallow remarked that the clothing there was quite peculiar, and they both found it unappealing. "Do you really want to take a look?" The noble lady felt somewhat embarrassed, her face turning red as she said, "You must not laugh at me!"

"Are the two little ones jealous of me, not allowing me to hold you!" He Nian was taken aback and released the young lady, only to see the twins with their little mouths open, revealing their tiny fangs, looking as if to say, 'If you dare to act recklessly again, I will bite you.' He couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated.

"Alright, blow it out!" He pressed down on the noble lady, preventing her from moving, and with one hand, he tore off her breastplate and threw it with all his strength towards the candle flame. The flame, which was already weak, was extinguished immediately by the gust of wind created by the breastplate. A gentle breeze wafted outside, stirring the curtains, and a fragrant aroma gradually spread throughout the room, filling it with a subtle fragrance

"The little one is going to walk, the little one is going to walk!" The crowd gasped in astonishment, yet fearing that the little olive might fall, they all assumed the posture of soccer goalkeepers, ready to rush in at any moment to catch the little olive.
