Chapter 123 – Temporary Imperial Residence, Part 3
After Lin Da Zhuang’s family had settled down, Wu Qiao Lan and Lin Jin Er took their children to rest. It was time for them to take a nap, and the three little ones were already dozing off.
Lin Jia Bao was talking to his parents in their room, “Mom. Dad… Have you been in good health these years?”
“We are all in good health. How about you, Jia Bao? How have you been in the palace these years? His Royal Highness… is he good to you?” Zhang Hui Jiang looked at Jia Bao and saw that his complexion was quite good.
“His Royal Highness, he is very, very good to me! I live a very good life in the palace.” When Lin Jia Bao spoke about Xuan Yuan Han Cheng, his face glowed.

Zhang Hui Niang and Lin Da Zhuang looked at each other, both feeling helpless and exasperated. After all these years, Jia Bao still had such a naive temper. They really didn’t know how he survived in the palace these past few years. But now it seemed that the crown prince was indeed quite good to Jia Bao, otherwise he would not have sent people to escort them here so that they could be reunited as a family.
At the reception banquet in the evening, everyone enjoyed the exquisite dishes in the palace, and everyone was full of praise.
Lin Jia Bao commanded Yuan Qing very naturally, “Today’s dishes are very delicious. You can go and reward tonight’s cooks later.”
“Understood.” Yuan Qing responded after hearing this.
“Jia Bao-gege, why don’t we see His Royal Highness?” Lin Xia Er saw how respectful the palace people were to Lin Jia Bao and she also saw that he had changed into more exquisite clothes for the evening. She was very jealous and envious of him.
“His Royal Highness the crown prince is busy with government affairs, and everyone is restrained by his presence, so he will not dine with us.” Lin Jia Bao replied.
“So it’s like that.” Lin Xia Er felt a little disappointed as she missed an opportunity to see His Highness the crown prince.
Lin Jia Bao didn’t think much of her inquiry and continued to tell his brothers and sisters entertaining anecdotes from his time in the palace.
After the banquet, Lin Jia Bao continued talking with his family, as if he had endless things to say. Some of the things they talked about were actually things that they had already mentioned in the letters that they regularly sent to each other, but Lin Jia Bao still listened to them with interest.
The sky gradually darkened, and Xuan Yuan Han Cheng’s face became increasingly gloomy.
When Yuan Fu saw this, he said to the crown prince, “It’s getting late. How about I ask Lin-cejun to come back?”
Xuan Yuan Han Cheng thought for a while and then waved his hand. His darling has been missing his family for a long time. Today was the first day of their reunion. They must have endless things to say.
This was when he heard Shu Qin say from outside, “Lin-cejun, you’re back.”
Xuan Yuan Han Cheng’s gloomy face suddenly cleared up.

“Darling… are you happy today? Do you like Husband’s surprise?” Xuan Yuan Han Cheng hugged Jia Bao and kissed him. He was very happy that Jia Bao came back early.
The palace people wisely retreated.
Lin Jia Bao hugged Xuan Yuan Han Cheng’s waist, “I’m very happy. Thank you for the surprise.”
“Then tonight, my dear, you have to properly thank your husband.” Xuan Yuan Han Cheng specially emphasized the pronunciation of “thank,” and the body wrapped around Jia Bao was already heating up.
“Yes.” Lin Jia Bao nodded with a blushing face.
Xuan Yuan Han Cheng hugged Jia Bao and said, “Let’s go to the Li Reservoir.”
The Li Reservoir was located inside the palace hall behind the bedroom in the main palace hall. Inside was a natural hot spring pool. There were several hot springs in the temporary imperial palace, and this pool was the largest. When the temporary imperial palace was being built, the craftsmen specially built the structure on top of the hot spring. The usable pools were interlinked with the main palace hall bedroom.

Xuan Yuan Han Cheng has taken Jia Bao to soak in the hot spring several times already. The temperature of the hot spring was just right and the body would feel very relaxed and comfortable after soaking in it. Jia Bao also liked the hot spring very much. The only fly in the ointment was that he has not been able to pamper his darling properly in this pool yet, but he should be able to get what he wanted tonight.
The inside and outside of the hot spring pool were titled with white jade. Xuan Yuan Han Cheng and Lin Jia Bao took off their clothes and walked down the white jade stairs into the pool.
The warm spring water made Lin Jia Bao sigh comfortably. Every time he soaked in this hot spring, he felt very comfortable, and his skin was smooth after soaking.
Xuan Yuan Han Cheng saw Jia Bao like this and his hands began to roam around his darling’s body.

Afterwards, Xuan Yuan Han Cheng rinsed Jia Bao and himself off, wiped Jia Bao dry, and changed him into the bed clothes prepared ahead of time by the palace maids. Then he carried Jia Bao back to the bedroom. At this time, Jia Bao was extremely tired and his body was too weak to exert any strength.
Xuan Yuan Han Cheng lied down on the bed with Jia Bao in his arms. Seeing how tired Jia Bao looked, he gave up on the idea of doing it again and kissed Jia Bao on the cheek. “Sleep, my dear.”
Xuan Yuan Han Cheng tucked Jia Bao against his chest and the two soon fell into a sweet dream…
