That night, the sky was full of stars and a woman was seen sitting pensively with eyes staring deep into space.
He took a deep breath and stood shut the window. Walk calmly to his bed.
"I've told you before. I don't have time to take care of many wives. Besides I've had enough of you."
The words were simple, but the man's gaze was very honest when saying them. It gives him a sense of security and trust.
Yuan pulled the blanket and began to sleep.
Days change, weeks change. There was no significant change, only the relationship between husband and wife improved.
Yuan had just opened the door and someone immediately ran into his room.
"Eh? Hua'er, kamu—"
"Sst." Youhua cut off Yuan's conversation by putting his index finger on his lips. His eyes were combing the room like they were looking for something.
Yuan only watched his sister-in-law in confusion.
After a few minutes, the girl ran to the back of the bulkhead and did not appear again.
Yuan was just about to call out to him again, but a voice made him turn towards the door.
"Xiao Li, have you seen your sister?"
Yuan looked down respectfully as he looked at the woman who had just walked into his room.
"Did you see it?" repeat the Queen Mother while looking around the room.
Yuan looks depressed. "Is there a problem, Mother?"
Lian Chun let out a rough breath and replied, "Yes, what else can the boy do?" The woman looked at Yuan sharply. "You know where he is, right?"
Yuan laughed awkwardly and shook his head slowly. "Not looking" he said slowly.
Lian Chun narrowed her eyes. "really?" He stared at every corner of the room and stopped at one point. The woman walked past Yuan and in one fell swoop a hand out of it.
"Ah, Mom, Mom. Don't be like this. I don't want to!" yuhua exclaimed as she tried to let go of her mother's hand.
"Sister! Brother! Help me!" He pulled Yuan's hand as it passed him making the woman almost fall down.
"What are you doing! Your brother-in-law almost fell because of you!"
Seeing an opportunity, Youhua released her mother's hand and took cover behind Yuan's back.
"You're here!"
"No way!"
Yuan sneered softly and interrupted, "What's the matter?"
"Sister, I don't want to get married!"
Yuan raised his eyebrows confused and looked at his mother-in-law.
Lian Chun simply nodded her head in resignation as she said, "As a mother, I certainly want the best for my child especially for girls. Xiao Li, do you know the prince of the Yong Kingdom? Prince Xian Le? Its territory is close to the territory of the Zhou Kingdom."
Yuan shook his head innocently. "I don't remember."
"Anyway he fits perfectly with our Youhua. A talented and humble young man. At least meet him first!"
Youhua shook her head firmly. "No way!"
"You!" Lian Chun moved forward and Youhua held onto Yuan's shoulder as a shield.
Yuan could only helplessly stand in the middle of the mother and child.
"Mother, calm down. Hua'er, it's okay to meet first."
"Who would believe it? Once I comply to meet, they will definitely set the wedding date! Brother, you must be careful of mother!"
Lian Chun glared at hearing that. "What's? What did you just say? Where is your ethics when you talk to me! Comehere!" said angry.
"Mother! Mama! I was wrong." Perhaps due to unintentionally, Youhua pushed Yuan to make the woman fall down.
"Xiao Li's! Xiao Li, are you okay? How are you doing?" lian Chun asked on her knees and helped her to get up slowly.
"Is it okay?" ask her again with worry.
Yuan shook his head slowly. "It's okay." A second after saying so, he suddenly froze.
"Sister?"
"Xiao Li's? What was? Is anyone sick?"
The one being asked was only speechless while biting his lower lip. Cold sweat started to appear on his forehead.
"Mother—my stomach hurts," she said weakly.
Lian Chun raised her face to look at Youhua and immediately spoke, "Quick call the palace tabin!"
Youhua nodded quickly and ran out while Lian Chun helped Yuan to sit on his bed.
"It hurts?" tanyanya gently.
Yuan nodded slowly with teary eyes.
"Wait a minute!" Lian Chun stood up and disappeared from behind the door. Before long, he returned with a small basin with a cloth in his hand.
It was seen that Yunniang and Jingli were also following him behind.
"You two just go out. I'll take care of it myself. Also, tell Your Majesty."
The two bowed and carried out the orders given by the Queen Mother.
Lian Chun dipped the folded cloth in warm water, leaving it submerged, helping Yuan to untie his clothes.
"Put it on the sick part" he said, giving Yuan the warm cloth.
Yuan didn't say much, just obeyed Lian Chun. His strength had already been greatly drained to endure the pain he felt.
"Are you coming to the moon?"
Yuan just shook his head weakly.
"I'll punish him when the boy comes back!" lian Chun said.
"No—no need, Mom. Hua'er was unintentionally. Don't— too hard on her."
"Alright, Alright. Don't force me to talk if it's hard."
The footsteps came from outside and the door opened.
ZiXuan entered Yuan's room with quick steps. "What's going on, Queen Mother?"
"It's my fault. I intend to take Hua'er away from here and she refuses. She hid in her brother-in-law but accidentally pushed Xiao Li down, "sadly Lian Chun said.
ZiXuan sat on the other side of Yuan and stared at the deathly pale face of the woman. His raised hand covered the back of Yuan's hand that was compressing his stomach.
Not knowing why, as there was a warm feeling enveloping his body, even the pain in Yuan's stomach started to slowly dissipate.
Yuan felt his eyes were so heavy to open, he leaned his head on the chest of ZiXuan realm comfortably.
"Xiao Li?"
"It's okay. I put him to sleep. I don't have to worry."
Shortly after, the court physician came along with Youhua.
After being ordered by Lian Chun to immediately check on Yuan, the healer immediately walked over, and touched the empress' wrist.
His old face looked serious for a while. He let go of Yuan's hand gently and retreated then knelt down while saying, "Congratulations, Your Majesty the Emperor. Empress Qin is pregnant with a future successor to the kingdom."
Lian Chun stood up with sparkling eyes, "Is this true?"
"Right, Your Majesty the Queen Mother. Congratulations to the imperial family."
Lian Chun laughed happily, she took off the gelamg she was wearing and gave it to the palace healer. "Take this as a gift from me."
The female physician accepted it with trembling hands and went back to kneeling.
"Your Majesty, because the gestational age is still young, so the content of the empress must be strengthened. Slave will make a recipe content maker. Servant permission to leave." The doctor went from there.
"Good! This is great news! Kid, congratulations!"
