Chapter 108 Pregnancy Daily Life (Part 2): Fine, he'll take care of everything anyway.

"It's my fault, don't hurt yourself."

Xiao Chuan wasn't afraid of Mi Yao's punches and kicks, but he was worried that she was still in her early pregnancy and might not be able to sit up straight, so he held down her thrashing limbs and forcefully pulled her into his arms.

He looked down and touched her still flat stomach. Even though he knew that a woman's belly could carry life, he still felt it was amazing that he and his wife were going to have a child.

This child will have their bloodline, will look like him and his wife, and will have a closer relationship with them than Xiao Shan and the others.

He might be smart, or he might be a troublesome idiot.

Everything that will happen in the future is new and interesting, and he and his wife will experience it together.

"It seems we are destined to have a child."

Excitement and joy quickly overwhelmed his apprehension, and Xiao Chuan's lips curled up. Unsurprisingly, he was punched by Mi Yao again.

"That was so sudden."

Mi Yao couldn't explain her feelings. If she didn't want the child at all, she wouldn't have made Xiao Chuan stop taking the medicine, nor would she have asked Zhen Jing and Yan Yun about their pregnancy experiences. She even consulted with the imperial physician, who was skilled in gynecology, for a long time about pregnancy care and childbirth.

The fact that she makes these preparations in advance proves that she is looking forward to the birth of a new life.

But now that the seed has actually been planted, she can't help but feel that everything has happened too fast.

They should have gone through countless hardships, drinking various herbal soups and undergoing acupuncture to improve their health. How could Xiao Chuan have gotten pregnant on his first try after just drinking some health-preserving soups and abstaining from sex for two months?

"We'll adapt together."

Knowing that Mi Yao was just panicking, Xiao Chuan kissed the top of her head reassuringly, "We don't have to be the best parents in the world."

After speaking, Xiao Chuan paused, "We are already the most powerful couple in the world. Even if we are not perfect in raising our adopted child, we can still give her enough financial power so that she can live a carefree life."

"You've thought this through quite clearly."

Hearing Xiao Chuan's words, Mi Yao felt much less nervous. She had given birth entirely out of personal desire.

Now that the situation is stable and her relationship with Xiao Chuan is good, she also has the idea of ​​wanting to have children who resemble their parents when she sees other people with one or more children.

Children are not toys; once you bring them into the world, you have to take responsibility for them.

But just as Xiao Chuan said, she and he were already the most powerful couple in the world. Even if they were clueless and clumsy as parents and couldn't do everything that good parents should do, at least she could enjoy a superior life after the child was born.

"If the children do anything wrong in the future, you can discipline them. I want to be a loving mother."

Glancing at the belly that was still just a seed, Mi Yao gave Xiao Chuan some instructions beforehand.

"good."

"You can't spoil her just because she's your own flesh and blood. If she's arrogant and doesn't know her manners, and bullies Shan'er and the others, you have to teach her a lesson."

This was also what she was worried about. She didn't think her child was any different from Xiao Shan's, but there were too many ill-intentioned people, and there would always be someone who would cause trouble and sow discord.

"good."

“You can’t just talk about disciplining someone; you have to actually do it.”

"good."

"What kind of father are you? You even hit your child."

Mi Yao glared at Xiao Chuan, their eyes met, and after a moment, Xiao Chuan laughed first. Mi Yao looked away, leaned against Xiao Chuan's chest, and couldn't help but laugh along.

The couple laughed for a while before Mi Yao started speaking again: "Actually, it's okay to hit them. I'm not the kind of person who thinks children shouldn't be hit. If you don't discipline them when they make mistakes, they won't learn their lesson. Whether it's a boy or a girl, you can't spoil them."

Because of the dream she had during her pregnancy, both she and Xiao Chuan assumed that she would give birth to a girl.

She favors girls, but doesn't believe that girls are necessarily well-behaved and easy to raise. On the contrary, she thinks that because of her favoritism, her children will be more mischievous than other children.

"What should I do? She's not even born yet, and I'm already planning how to spoil her so much that she'll become disobedient."

Xiao Chuan smoothed Mi Yao's furrowed brows with his fingertips. His voice was low and soft, but the words he spoke were anything but gentle.

"And me too. Regardless of gender, I can't stand how much you spoil other people. Even if you're looking forward to this child, she's just a small part of our lives as a couple. The most important person in your life is me."

Mi Yao: ...

Okay, he'll take care of everything anyway.

*

Having accepted her pregnancy, Mi Yao began a relaxed pregnancy lifestyle.

One year after Xiao Chuan ascended the throne, the new policies had been set in Youzhou, but it was still a difficult task to spread them throughout the country.

Before she got pregnant, she spent most of her time working with Xiao Chuan, mainly managing the finances.

The main problem is that she took it for granted that she managed this area. She was in charge of promoting new grain varieties and agricultural tools, as well as papermaking and mirror making. So she earned most of the money in the national treasury.

Xiao Chuan has many talented people under his command. She doesn't need to coordinate these matters, as there are suitable people to handle them. However, Xiao Chuan enjoys working with her. In his words, he likes to see her go to great lengths for him.

Hearing this, she thought to herself that he was clearly thinking of the people, but she didn't refute him. Since he was good at self-deception, why should she pour cold water on him?

Because she was busy, she only slept in occasionally before she got pregnant. After she got pregnant, her work was almost on track and she could step down to a supervisory position. So she simply let go and returned to sleeping until she naturally woke up every day, and then working for two hours after waking up.

Therefore, those court officials who feared she would seize power were completely overthinking things.

She will hold power and not allow herself to be in a passive position. As for other things, she is afraid of being tired, troublesome, and has no ambition, so she will not touch them at all.

With more free time, she started wandering around instead of sleeping.

When I have free time, I get together with my friends or go on a spring outing to enjoy the flowers with Xiao Shan and the others.

"If I have more free time, you should be even busier. Why do you come and drag me out to eat?"

That day, Mi Yao was listening to Yu Xiu gossip about her in-laws when, before she could finish, a group of people knelt down inside and outside the room. Xiao Chuan, dressed in an ochre-yellow robe embroidered with dragon patterns, stared expressionlessly at the Empress, who had left the palace three hours earlier and had no intention of returning by dinner time.

"May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings."

Because of her past mistakes, even though Yu Xiu is now married, she still subconsciously trembles and lowers her head when she sees Xiao Chuan, not daring to look at him.

Xiao Chuan ignored her and stepped forward to take Mi Yao's hand: "The busier I am, the more I miss you. I look forward to having dinner with you tonight."

"You really are something."

Mi Yao gave Yu Xiu some instructions, then let Xiao Chuan half-embrace her as they walked away.

"I even told you I'd give you a break so you could eat what you like, but you insisted on waiting for me."

Back in the palace, Mi Yao looked at the dishes served on the table and couldn't help but say to Xiao Chuan.

When she was five months pregnant, her morning sickness had subsided, but her tastes had changed considerably, becoming the opposite of what she used to like. She craved both sour and bitter foods.

Previously, her tastes were similar to Xiao Chuan's, and they enjoyed their meals together. Now, her tastes have changed. When Xiao Shan and Xiao Liang occasionally dine with her, the imperial chef has to prepare additional dishes. Only he eats whatever she eats, as if his sense of taste has changed along with hers.

There are only two kinds of tastes: one is when I eat with you, and the other is when I eat alone.

Xiao Chuan wasn't deliberately trying to please Mi Yao or make her happy; he genuinely felt that way.

He has always had a very weak appetite. Before Mi Yao married him, he would eat anything given to him. After all, eating was just to fill his stomach. As long as he didn't starve, it didn't matter to him whether the food tasted good or not.

After marrying her, seeing that she was eating and drinking well, he hinted to her that he wanted to treat her the same way.

Looking back now, it wasn't because he was greedy; it was simply because he saw her happy and satisfied when she ate what she liked, and he enjoyed watching her eat, so he wanted to eat the same food as her.

"Alright, alright, anyway, you won't taste anything without me. I, Yu Miyao, am the most delicious seasoning for you, Xiao Chua, your favorite flavor."

After Mi Yao finished speaking with a smile, Xiao Chuan, in order to agree with her, did not rush to pick up his chopsticks. Instead, he moved closer to her face and gently touched her lips to taste his favorite flavor.

The light, almost imperceptible caresses of her lips sent a ticklish sensation through Mi Yao's body, like tiny ants crawling all over her skin.

Knowing that Xiao Chuan must be feeling bad because of her impatience, she endured it and started to tease him, her nose occasionally touching his skin and her fingers touching his Adam's apple.

The muffled sound of swallowing was so loud that neither of them could ignore it. Mi Yao couldn't help but laugh. Her eyes had just curved into a smile when the long-awaited kiss suddenly became fierce. The owner of the tongue seemed to have swallowed too many times and was parched, so he tried his best to suck the moisture from her mouth and plunder everything from her.

Fearing things might escalate, the two have even reduced their deep kisses considerably in the past few months.

Feeling Xiao Chua's possessiveness for a long time, Mi Yao felt hot all over, and after only a few kisses, she couldn't help but pant softly.

Her seductive and sticky moans kept coming, and Xiao Chuan's mind was about to explode.

"Hmm...aren't you hungry? Aren't you going to eat?"

The head that was rubbing and nibbling at her neck, Mi Yao's first words were a vulgar sound.

She ate at Yu Xiu's place and wasn't hungry, but Xiao Chuan had been waiting for her. She was just keeping him company while he ate, but when the food was served, he didn't touch his chopsticks and instead started eating her.

"The imperial physician said that everything will be fine this month."

He had been able to control himself, but when he heard Mi Yao's unrestrained moans, he knew she was really holding back.

The kisses traveled downwards, and Mi Yao's hand pressed against Xiao Chuan's hair. She wanted to gently stroke him, but she couldn't help but press harder.

When she reached her peak, all she wanted to do was sleep in bed, her hands feeling weak and limp, with no desire to exert any strength.

Xiao Chuan was sweating profusely from her lack of cooperation. Mi Yao squinted at him, touching her belly with a look of satisfaction and smugness: "Your Majesty, are you in so much pain? Why don't you beg me and see if I can help you?"

"I beg Your Majesty for mercy."

Because Mi Yao was lying down, Xiao Chuan could only kneel on the soft couch beside her. Hearing her teasing, he was flexible and adaptable. When their eyes met, his deep brown eyes showed undisguised desire.

Her posture and tone were quite pitiful, as if she were begging for help. Mi Yao leaned forward and rested her head on Xiao Chuan's lap, showing him pity according to his words, and then used her delicate hands to ease his fatigue.

Couples who haven't been intimate for a long time find it hard to stop once they start.

After Mi Yao washed her hands and finished eating with Xiao Chuan, the two said they would go for a walk. Somehow, they ended up kissing again. When Mi Yao came to her senses, she lay back down on the couch. Because she was afraid of hurting the baby, she kept it gentle and quiet, so she didn't even know when she fell asleep.

When Xiao Chuan woke up, he had already gone to court, and there were several sheets of paper beside his bed.

Mi Yao looked over and saw that the paper contained the whole story of her uncle's cuckoldry that Yu Xiu had told her yesterday, from when he allowed the servants to have sex with his wives and concubines, to when he coveted the servants, and later when he claimed the children born to the servants and concubines as his own.

The information in the written investigation was far more detailed than what Yu Xiu knew.

She only mentioned it casually to Xiao Chuan yesterday, saying she found it interesting and that she was going to find Yu Xiu to gossip about it today.

Who would have thought that Xiao Chuan would send people to strip the melon owner completely naked.

Knowing that Xiao Chuan didn't want her attention to be on someone else and wanted her to spend more of her free time with him, Mi Yao chuckled and shook her hand, which was still sore from sleeping.

After getting off the bed, she changed into gorgeous clothes and went to greet him after court.

He ruined her enjoyment of gossiping, so she naturally had to retaliate, making him both pleased with her efforts and jealous that other courtiers besides him could see her special attire.

She felt that he had to suppress his burning desire because of her pregnancy, which was more interesting than her going to eat any gossip.
