Chapter 334 Extra 6 (Life outside the palace, peaceful years)
Yue Er frowned, "Does giving birth hurt, Mother? If it hurts, Yue Er won't want a brother."
"Yuer only wants mother and father to be well, and doesn't want mother to suffer."
As she spoke, Xiyue hugged Liu Yuetang.
Liu Yuetang sat down, took Xiyue into her arms, and said earnestly, "Yuer, giving birth will hurt."
"But your father is worth the suffering that mother suffers for him."
This time, she was not giving birth to a child for herself.
Instead, give birth to a child for both of them.
It is voluntary and due to emotion.
As she spoke, Liu Yuetang smiled gently and held Xiyue's soft little hand in her palm: "Yuer, whether it's you or your brothers and sisters in the future, as long as you are safe and happy, my sins are not worth mentioning at all."
"Mother's pain only lasts a short while, but her happiness will last a lifetime."
Xiyue pondered for a moment and nodded gently, "Actually... Yue'er wants a brother or sister because she hopes he can always be with Mother and Father."
Although she was only eight years old, she understood that she could not stay with her parents forever.
She had had two mothers for as long as she could remember.
Both her mother and the queen mother treated her very well.
Although she is related to her mother by blood, she prefers to live a free and easy life with her mother.
But he felt very sorry for his mother in the palace. Whenever he left, he would be worried about her and miss her terribly.
Moreover, she was the princess of Jingyuan, and it was impossible for her to stay outside the palace forever.
When she grows up, she will have to get married, and she will have even less time to be filial to her mother and father.
Therefore, she also wanted a younger brother or sister who could always accompany her mother and father and let them have a child to enjoy the company of.
Liu Yuetang saw through her daughter's thoughts at a glance.
Her daughter seems spoiled and unruly, but she is actually mature and thoughtful.
This also made Liu Yuetang very distressed.
"Yuer, you are still young, just be happy and follow your heart. Don't worry about Mom and Dad. For Dad and Mom, the happiest thing is to love each other and stay together, and for you to be happy."
She raised her hand to tidy up Xiyue's hair, and the tenderness in her eyes almost overflowed.
Xiyue smiled sweetly, revealing two small front teeth that had just grown in. "Yuer is so happy."
"Brother Emperor said that I am the most favored princess of Jingyuan, and many people love Yue'er."
She raised her hands and counted them while saying, "Father, Mother, Queen Mother, Emperor Brother, Grandmother, Concubine Rong and Aunt Duanrou! Yue'er is very happy every day."
Thinking of these people, Xiyue's eyes seemed to be dotted with stars, and they were particularly bright.
Seeing her daughter so happy, Liu Yuetang was filled with joy. She stroked her head and said, "Yuer is loved by so many people. She is naturally the happiest princess."
Xiyue chuckled, and finally her eyes fell on Liu Yuetang's belly, and asked curiously: "Then mother, are you pregnant with a brother or sister?"
Liu Yuetang was startled, raised her hand and gently covered her lower abdomen, "Mother doesn't know either."
"Let it be..."
*****
At the beginning of July, Liu Yuetang and Xiao Heng sent Xiyue to the palace gate.
There were people waiting to meet them at the palace gate, so the two of them never showed up.
As the carriage slowly drove away, Xiao Heng held Liu Yuetang's hand and lowered the curtain. "Don't look anymore. We'll come back to pick up Yue'er next spring."
Liu Yuetang nodded and was about to speak when she suddenly felt nauseous in her chest and acid rushed into her throat. She quickly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and vomited several mouthfuls of acid.
Xiao Heng's face tensed up, and he patted Liu Yuetang's back in panic, his eyes full of worry, "Why did you vomit?"
"Is it too bumpy all the way? I'll ask the sedan bearers to go slower."
Just as he was about to speak, Liu Yuetang held his hand.
She was in a daze, her brows sometimes relaxed and sometimes frowned, her expression became more and more complicated, which made Xiao Heng feel depressed.
"Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
"Then let's go to the clinic now."
"No..." Liu Yuetang's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked up at Xiao Heng with a worried look on his face.
"I'm not sick, I'm probably..."
She must be pregnant.
Her period was delayed for a full ten days.
Over the years, she has maintained a good health and her periods have always been regular.
And just now, I guess it was morning sickness.
"What should it be?" Xiao Heng said hurriedly, but the next moment he saw Liu Yuetang raising her hand to cover her lower abdomen.
This all-too-familiar action made his heart tremble suddenly, and his expression changed instantly.
Suddenly, he remembered that Liu Yuetang's period had been delayed for about ten days.
He slowly raised his eyes, his gaze locked on hers, with a hint of disbelief and suspicion. His Adam's apple rolled twice before he spoke with difficulty, "You're not going to tell me that you're pregnant, are you?"
Liu Yuetang had anticipated his surprised look. She clenched her hands and nodded slightly, "Hmm..."
"How is that possible?" Xiao Heng was in a knot.
"I've been taking birth control pills, how could I be pregnant?"
Liu Yuetang pursed her lips tightly, and after a moment she slowly spoke: "Maybe..."
The words came to his lips, but he suddenly stopped.
She turned away Xiao Heng's inquiring gaze, ultimately unwilling to cover it up with lies.
Whether he longed for the child or hated it, she should tell him the truth.
When she looked up again, she looked at Xiao Heng. There was a clear honesty in her eyes, but also a little bit of subtle uneasiness: "I'm sorry, husband, I replaced your contraceptive medicine with a tonic."
The moment the words fell, the air seemed to freeze.
The astonishment on Xiao Heng's face faded away layer by layer, leaving only a frosty look.
In the past three years, he had never been cold to Liu Yuetang. Seeing this, Liu Yuetang panicked and grabbed Xiao Heng's wrist and said, "Husband, I know I shouldn't have done this without telling you, but I really want to have another child with us."
Xiao Heng's brows tightened more and more. He did not answer Liu Yuetang's words, but called out loudly: "Stop the sedan!"
After saying this, he pulled out the hand that Liu Yuetang was holding without hesitation, stood up, lifted the curtain and was about to get out of the sedan chair.
"Husband..." Liu Yuetang raised her hand to hold him, but missed.
She became anxious and stood up and got out of the sedan chair.
Xiao Heng walked forward angrily with big steps, and soon Liu Yuetang could no longer find him.
