After a brief gathering and bidding farewell to Alina and Liu Qiongyue, Wen Hemian, still concerned about the Emperor who was constantly thinking about her in the palace, decided against further wandering and returned home.
When I passed by the pastry shop, I bought some of Xie Lang's favorite sweet cakes.
His Majesty, who holds great power, still loves sweets, probably to make up for the hardships he suffered as a child. In short, the unexpected contrast is quite endearing, and Wen Hemian finds it rather cute.
As expected, Xie Lang was indeed delighted with the surprise. He kept a straight face, but the joy in his words betrayed his true feelings: "Hanshuang, are you still treating me like a child?"
Wen Hemian nodded perfunctorily: "Mm."
Xie Lang stuffed a piece of sweet cake into his mouth while eagerly circling around her: "Will Han Shuang coax our child like this in the future?"
Well, the child hasn't even been born yet, and the Emperor has already set his sights on him.
Wen Hemian had his own set of tricks for coaxing people: "I coax His Majesty, and His Majesty coaxes our children."
It sounds strange, but Xie Lang insisted on taking the blame for himself, so Wen Hemian didn't sympathize with him.
Xie Lang made the final decision: "Then it's settled."
He couldn't let anyone take away his special treatment.
Wen Heming shook his head, feeling both amused and exasperated.
...
No matter what, he was still a royal heir, so the Imperial Medical Academy paid special attention to him, and the pulse diagnosis was changed to once a day. Fortunately, everything went smoothly in the middle of the journey, and there were no problems as winter turned to spring.
The extra classes that were originally planned could only be kept as they were due to Wen Hemian's pregnancy. Lu Zishen from the cabinet took the lead in not wanting her to be overworked at this time, so he took on some of the work, which made things much easier for her.
As the months went by, no matter how well-behaved the baby was, she didn't make a fuss, and her body became heavier. Xie Lang became anxious again, afraid that she would be uncomfortable, so she learned a lot of new massage techniques.
Every evening after dinner, I would give her a thorough massage before taking her to bed.
As the weather warms up, Xie Lang's presence is enough. The floor heating in the palace has been turned off, and at night only one or two candles flicker dimly, barely providing any light.
Xie Lang carefully reached out and touched her stomach, his eyebrows drooping, his voice sounding somewhat dejected: "...If only I could take your place."
Wen Hemian had just gotten enough sleep and was about to fall asleep when she heard his voice and woke up groggily: "What nonsense are you talking about so late at night?"
Xie Lang raised his hand and touched her cheek again, feeling extremely distressed: "There are still a few months left."
"I know my little emperor cares about me." Wen Hemian half-closed her eyes, looked up and kissed his chin, her voice gentle and tender, "...But now, let's go to sleep, okay?"
I feel hot during pregnancy, and even before summer arrives, I'm already showing signs of it. I don't feel it when I'm asleep, but when we're cuddling and chatting, I suddenly feel uncomfortable.
As she spoke, Wen Hemian casually pulled the blanket down a little.
Xie Lang forced a smile and pulled him back to his original position.
Wen Hemian had no choice but to open his eyes and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, are you going to refuse to sleep tonight and insist on going against me?"
Xie Lang said seriously, "You'll catch a cold."
"I don't know if I'll catch a cold, but I do know that I'm a little hot right now."
After confirming the pregnancy, the two stopped having sex. Firstly, the risks were high in the early stages of pregnancy, and secondly, Xie Lang was afraid of hurting her. Wen Hemian was naturally abstinent and could not have sex if she didn't want to. However, sometimes when she saw that Xie Lang was aroused, she would kindly help him with her hands.
However, for some inexplicable reason, looking at the handsome Emperor tonight, I suddenly felt a few unbearable thoughts arise in my heart.
But... I can't bring myself to say it.
However, she did not anticipate one thing: she underestimated Xie Lang's observational skills.
The two had long been in sync, and were also compatible in bed. With just one glance, Xie Lang knew what Wen Hemian wanted. His eyes suddenly darkened, and he leaned closer to her intimately: "I heard from the imperial physician that after things stabilize, it's appropriate to..."
The sounds that followed were drowned out by the kiss; this time, it was Wen Hemian who took the initiative.
She would much rather see Xie Lang's concrete actions than hear him say shameless things.
Xie Lang had always been unable to resist her initiative, and now it was even more so. He immediately stopped talking and devoted himself to the act, but he moved very gently and dared not make too much of a fuss.
Only after making the person comfortable and taking them to wash up did he finally feel satisfied and fall asleep in their arms.
Aside from these insignificant little incidents, everything went relatively smoothly afterward.
As the belly gradually becomes more prominent, the baby inside can slowly begin to respond to the outside world.
As Wen Hemian sensed, this was indeed a very obedient child. She hardly made a fuss throughout the whole process and was quite considerate when responding to outsiders.
I still remember the first time His Majesty the Emperor felt the movement coming from her belly. He was so shocked that his eyes widened, as if he had encountered something incredibly incredible.
So it's not that he doesn't love children, he just doesn't know how to love them. Now that he's being guided and is slowly understanding the process, he'll probably have a different feeling.
This is, after all, a child who shares blood with both of them.
Wen Hemian did not experience any more pregnancy symptoms after that. As the summer heat intensified, she inevitably lost her appetite. Xie Lang watched anxiously from the side, unable to eat himself. Before even reaching his due date, he had already lost weight.
Wen Hemian felt a little melancholy, but at the same time, she couldn't help but laugh and cry: "Why is it that we both suffer because I'm pregnant?"
Xie Lang pursed his lips and remained silent, half-kneeling on the ground, silently massaging her calves to prevent the swelling from causing discomfort.
Seeing that he didn't reply for a long time, Wen Hemian kicked his arm lightly, saying casually, "I finally saw you change, how come you've turned into a gloomy little mushroom again?"
In modern terms, this is called prenatal depression. It's not just women who can experience it; men can also experience it if they worry too much. Xie Lang's current situation seems somewhat similar.
Xie Lang grabbed her foot that was kicking him, looking up at her from below, his imperial aura undiminished: "I don't want the Grand Tutor to suffer. Fortunately, the Imperial Hospital reported this morning that the medicine I requested has been made, so there shouldn't be any more trouble like this in the future."
He looked down at the snow-white, delicate ankle in his palm, feeling a strong urge to kiss it, but he was afraid that Wen Heming would kick him out of bed that night, so he had to give up with regret.
Wen Hemian didn't expect that he would still remember this matter after so long. After listening, he smiled and said, "If it can put your mind at ease, then do whatever you want."
After the massage was almost over, she tried to pull her foot back, but Xie Lang grabbed it and wouldn't let go.
Those eyes looked anything but kind.
"Hey!" Wen Hemian narrowed her eyes, gave him a warning look, and said in a cold tone, "Your Majesty, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I won't allow it. Let go."
Wolf cubs have a certain perverse nature.
Xie Lang, mindful not to upset her, let out a deep breath and finally let go, lowering his voice to beg for forgiveness: "It was my fault, Han Shuang, don't be angry."
Wen Heming scoffed coldly, turned her head away to read her book, and ignored him.
