Chapter 334 Extra 5 (Life outside the palace, peaceful years)
As Liu Yuetang spoke, she had already put the sliced Ganoderma lucidum into the pot.
Xiao Heng stepped forward, hugged her from behind, and said softly, "Madam is a great cook, how can you be called a waste?"
"But my husband can't even make soup."
"I thought since your back has been sore these past few days, I'd let you rest and I'd personally make some medicinal food for you, but in the end, I still have to let you do it yourself."
Liu Yuetang turned her hand and rolled her eyes at him, "My back aches because of you~"
"No matter how much medicinal food you drink, it's useless for you to do that."
Xiao Heng's hand under his wide sleeves grasped her waist, and Liu Yuetang leaned close to his arms, their hair touching, their clothes entangled, and even their breaths seemed to be entangled.
"Madam, you are wrong."
"It's clearly you who's been pestering me night and night these days, making me lose control. How can you say it's my fault?"
Liu Yuetang raised her hand and hooked it around his neck, her eyes flickering with allure, "Why, doesn't my husband like it?"
Xiao Heng's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and the tip of his nose gently rubbed her hot earlobe. His voice was low and hoarse, "I like it... How could I not like it?"
"I'm just afraid that our bodies can't handle it."
Liu Yuetang snorted softly: "When you were the emperor, you could moan four times a night, but now you can't stand it even twice?"
Xiao Heng was choked by her blunt words, then said, "How can the past compare to today? I am thirty-five now, and you are twenty-seven. It is time for us to restrain our lust and live a stable life."
In the past, he only regarded women as tools for entertainment.
And now that Liu Yuetang is his wife, he naturally has to cherish himself and love her.
Naturally different.
"Control your lust?" Liu Yuetang narrowed her watery eyes, and gently twisted her waist against his body, with a naked teasing look.
Xiao Heng frowned, unable to control the part covered by his clothes.
Liu Yuetang's eyes flickered, "You say you should restrain yourself, but your body doesn't even have the slightest intention of restraining itself."
Xiao Heng's Adam's apple rolled fiercely, and he released his hands from her waist. "Madam, you have become more and more domineering in the past three years."
Liu Yuetang raised her chin slightly: "This is not overbearing!"
"I don't agree with what you just said."
"So what if you're thirty-five? So what if you're twenty-seven? At this age, do we have to hide even the tenderness between husband and wife?"
She pursed her red lips and said, "I won't give in. Even if I'm seventy or eighty, I'll still be with you, and I won't give up even a little bit."
Xiao Heng was startled for a moment, then a smile spread across his eyebrows and eyes, revealing an unwavering indulgence. "Alright...it's up to you."
"It's up to you."
After he finished speaking, the fire that had been stirred up grew even stronger. Xiao Heng lowered his head, and just as his lips were about to touch, he heard a childish voice interrupt him: "Daddy, Mommy~"
As soon as the voice came out, it instantly disrupted the atmosphere in the room.
Xiao Heng froze in his tracks, and Liu Yuetang took advantage of the situation to turn her head, only to see Xiyue running in with two fruits in her hands, smiling.
"Dad, Mom, look at the peaches I picked."
She held up the peaches in her hand. "There are quite a few ripe peaches on the peach tree in the backyard. These two are the reddest and the biggest! Yue'er picked them specially for Daddy and Mommy."
Liu Yuetang took the peach from her hand with a smile, "Yuer is still reliable. Mother is starving."
Xiyue's bright eyes flicked around the stove, then she pouted and looked at Xiao Heng angrily, "Daddy! Where's the food you cooked? Are you going to leave my mother and I to die on an empty stomach again?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Heng quickly straightened his expression, "You can't blame me. I originally planned to make your favorite braised fish, but your mother went to the pond to fish for half a day and didn't catch a single fish, so this fish dish didn't get made."
Liu Yuetang turned around in surprise when she heard this. Just as she was about to yell at him, Xiao Heng leaned close to her ear and whispered in a low voice with a hint of coquettishness, "Madam, please save face for me in front of my daughter."
"Mother, is that so?" Xiyue looked at Liu Yuetang, as if she didn't believe what Xiao Heng said at all.
Liu Yuetang smiled slowly, "Yes, it was my bad luck that I didn't catch any fish."
Xiao Heng breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes filled with smiles. He thought his daughter would stop blaming him, but the next moment she said, "Daddy! It's all your fault! Fishing is for boys, how could you let me do it?"
Xiao Heng's smile froze, and he was silent for a moment, "Dad isn't going to make soup for your mother?"
"Making soup doesn't interfere with fishing. Dad always has so many excuses."
"Mother is a girl, and girls are responsible for being beautiful. These rough jobs should be done by Daddy, but he is always lazy."
Xiao Heng was left speechless by his daughter's clever words.
Liu Yuetang was laughing secretly on the side.
Finally, Xiao Heng shook his head helplessly: "Yes, yes, you and your daughter are of the same mind. Even if I have ten mouths, I can't convince you."
"They say a daughter is her father's little cotton-padded jacket, but you've become your mother's little bodyguard."
When Xiyue heard this, she raised her chin and said, "Of course, I'm a girl, so naturally I'm closer to my mother."
She grasped Liu Yuetang's sleeve, leaned against her affectionately, and said with her little face tilted upwards, "If Daddy wants to find a helper, why not let Mother give birth to a little brother? That way, Mother and I won't be able to bully Daddy."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Heng's expression changed slightly, and then he smiled faintly, "Forget about my little brother, it's enough for Daddy to have you as his only daughter."
After saying that, he raised his hand and pinched Xiyue's cheek, "Okay, Daddy is going fishing."
Looking at Xiao Heng's hurried back as he walked out as if he was trying to avoid something, the smile on Liu Yuetang's face slowly faded.
Xiyue also sighed and raised her head with a worried look, "Mother... Daddy doesn't seem to want a younger brother."
"Daddy doesn't want it, but he's afraid that Mom will suffer." Liu Yuetang looked dazed and whispered softly.
When she gave birth to Yue'er, she almost had a heavy hemorrhage. Xiao Heng watched as the midwife drained the blood clots for her.
The pain was worse than the pain in her ten fingers. Liu Yuetang has now forgotten how painful it was.
I only remember that Xiao Heng's eyes were already red when he was beside me.
He kept saying, "It's okay...it's okay...we won't have any more children."
During these three years, she mentioned once that she wanted to give him another child.
One reason was that he had given up the throne and his sons and daughters for her, so she wanted to give him another child to make up for the debt she felt.
The second reason is that she knew that Xiao Heng liked children very much.
In recent years, whenever he sees a cute child, he can't help but take a few more glances, and his love for them is beyond words.
Liu Yuetang saw it all, and her desire to have another child became even stronger this year.
So, she secretly replaced Xiao Heng's contraceptive medicine with tonic medicine.
