Chapter 33
Yu Zhi was talking to Doctor Zhang about his fathers, and for a moment, he thought they had arrived.
On second thought, that's impossible.
The people coming couldn't be them. If they were them, why would they need to send someone to inform him? They would definitely go straight to the backyard to see him.
Who could that be?
Yu Zhi went to the front hall and saw two figures, one large and one small, appear before him. He immediately smiled and asked, "Brother Li, how did you find time to come to my place? I haven't seen you for a few months, and Huanhuan seems to have grown a lot taller."
Li Daniu smiled innocently, "I came to the city today to sell some mountain products. Huanhuan insisted on coming along, saying she wanted to visit you and Xiaomao."
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhi immediately ordered his servant to go to the backyard and bring the kitten over.
Li Huanhuan looked around curiously, her big dark eyes full of envy: "Brother, your house is so big."
Li Daniu gripped the straw rope tightly, his eyes sweeping over the young man's luxurious brocade robe. The last time they met, they were wearing ordinary cotton clothes; he hadn't expected them to be so wealthy. A hint of embarrassment crossed Li Daniu's dark face, and he subconsciously hid the mountain food and a few fish in his hands behind him.
His movements caught Yu Zhi's attention, and he asked with a smile, "What is that, Brother Li?"
Li Huanhuan answered first, "It's pheasant and fish for my brother to nourish his body. My mother is pregnant, and Daddy goes hunting in the mountains and fishing in the river every day to nourish her."
"Your wife is pregnant? That's really a happy event." Yu Zhi's eyes curved and he smiled. "I can't travel far now, so I can't go to congratulate you. I've asked someone to prepare some gifts, so you can take them when you go back."
"How can this be possible!" Li Daniu waved his hands repeatedly, "We are not here to take advantage of you."
Yu Zhi frowned and said, "I'm giving it to my sister-in-law, not to you. Don't refuse it."
Li Daniu rubbed the corner of his clothes with his rough fingers and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a loud laugh.
"It turns out that this is an old friend visiting, and I am sorry for not welcoming him."
Then, a tall man carrying a cat walked into the hall. He glanced around and stopped at the young man in the main seat. He said with a hint of complaint, "Brother Li is here, why didn't you call me?"
The young man snorted coldly: "Even if I didn't call you, you're here too, aren't you?"
Li Daniu's gaze secretly lingered on the two men's faces for a moment, and a look of worry appeared on his dark face.
"Oh! Is this the kitten?" When Li Huanhuan saw the little white cat in Luo Tingshi's arms, she immediately jumped off the chair excitedly and ran to Luo Tingshi with curiosity in her eyes.
Luo Tingshi leaned over and handed the kitten to Li Huanhuan. Li Huanhuan quickly raised her hands, supporting her head with one hand and her butt with the other, carefully held the kitten in her arms, and happily ran to Yu Zhi.
"This kitten is so beautiful!"
Yu Zhi smiled and touched Huanhuan's head, and the two of them teased the kitten in his arms.
Seeing this, Li Daniu stood up and pulled Luo Tingshi aside, whispering to him, "Little brother, why did you make your wife angry again?"
Luo Tingshi sighed: "I was wrong."
Li Daniu: "You should admit your mistakes. Even if your wife punishes you, you should accept it. They say 'a man's knees are made of gold', but if it's your wife, kneeling down is nothing."
Luo Tingshi: "I knelt before, but it was useless."
Li Daniu: "...How big of a mistake have you made?"
Luo Tingshi: "It's hard to put it into words!"
He turned his head to look at Yu Zhi, and Yu Zhi happened to be looking at him. Their eyes met, and Yu Zhi glared at him, then lowered his head and stopped looking at him.
It was almost 3 p.m., and Li Daniu said goodbye to Yu Zhi. Yu Zhi stopped the father and daughter and asked them to stay for dinner.
"It's so delicious. I've never eaten such delicious food before." Li Huanhuan put down his bowl and chopsticks, patted his full belly, and licked his lips.
Yu Zhi looked at Li Huanhuan with a serious expression: "I will do my best to let you all eat such meals as soon as possible."
Li Huanhuan didn't understand: "What are you talking about, brother?"
Yu Zhi looked at her deeply and did not answer.
Shen Zheng, Yu Zhi and Luo Tingshi saw the two men out. The attendants filed out and filled Li Daniu's donkey cart.
Li Daniu was horrified: "This is too much, I can't do this!"
Yu Zhi smiled and said, "It's nothing special, just a quilt, some winter clothes and some food. It's cold this year, don't let your wife get cold."
"This..." Li Daniu hesitated for a moment, then a look of gratitude appeared on his resolute face. He bowed deeply to the two of them and said, "Thank you very much!"
Before leaving, he whispered to Yu Zhi, "Although it's not our place to interfere in your affairs, I see your man truly treats you well. You're pregnant, and if he makes you angry, punish him more and don't get angry yourself."
Yu Zhi chuckled: "I thought you were trying to persuade me to forgive him."
Li Daniu scratched his head: "He made his wife angry, he must have done something wrong. A man who loves his wife shouldn't make her angry."
Yu Zhi gave a thumbs up: "Brother Li, well said."
It was getting late, and the father and daughter had to leave the city quickly. Yu Zhi watched them leave, raised his eyes slightly, and glanced at Luo Tingshi who was standing aside and watching him quietly.
Luo Tingshi immediately stepped forward and helped Yu Zhi into the yard.
After passing through the front yard and walking along the corridor, Luo Tingshi glanced at Yu Zhi's calm face and asked with a smile, "What did Li Daniu just say to you?"
Yu Zhi turned his head and glanced at him: "He asked me to punish you more, saying that if you really love me, you shouldn't make me angry."
Luo Tingshi chuckled softly, "That makes sense. I did something wrong today. How does Your Majesty intend to punish me?"
Yu Zhi raised his finger and poked his bulging arm, dissatisfied: "You have thick skin and flesh, no matter how I punish you, it's like tickling you."
The two walked down the corridor, walked around the white stone bridge and went up the stream. The stream was gurgling, and they walked slowly forward accompanied by the clear sound.
Luo Tingshi gave Yu Zhi an idea: "Next time, I won't go inside and will just use my hands and lips to serve you."
Yu Zhi looked at him with disdain: "Is this a punishment for you, or for me?"
Luo Tingshi's heart moved slightly, and he looked at him sideways: "Your Majesty, are you satisfied with my skills in bed?"
Yu Zhi: "It's okay."
Luo Tingshi's eyes darkened, and he couldn't help but ask, "How does it compare to others? Do they make you feel better, or do I make you feel better?"
Yu Zhi raised his eyebrows and said subconsciously: "What others? You are my only man..."
When Yu Zhi saw the smile on Luo Ting's face, his heart skipped a beat.
Oops!
How to tell the truth.
Luo Tingshi couldn't stop smiling. He turned around suddenly, stretched out his long arms and hugged Yu Zhi tightly in his arms. His palms excitedly rubbed the man's shoulders and he said incoherently: "Your Majesty, you belong to me and only me. That's great. You are mine from beginning to end."
He was so excited, but Yu Zhi was unhappy.
He suppressed his anger.
…Forget it, I can’t bear it anymore.
Yu Zhi asked coldly, "Why do you care so much about this? If I really did it with someone else, what would you do? Do you think I'm not clean?"
Luo Tingshi quickly replied, "Pure and turbid are merely vulgar terms. How can we simply judge based on appearance? Even if Your Majesty has seen countless things, in my heart, she will remain as pure as ever."
"What I care about is not whether you have done it with others, but whether there is only each other between you and me." Luo Tingshi let go of Yu Zhi slightly, held Yu Zhi's wrist, his eyes burning.
"Fortunately, you only have me, and I only have you. No one else has come between us."
Yu Zhi narrowed his eyes, looked at Luo Tingshi for a while, then waved his sleeves and left.
Luo Tingshi hurriedly caught up with her: "Xiaoyu, slow down, you're pregnant, don't walk so fast..."
-
Back in the bedroom, Yu Zhi picked up a book and leaned on the couch to read, while Luo Tingshi massaged his legs to activate his meridians.
Doctor Zhang said that when the baby is six or seven months old, the mother's body will be compressed, and the legs will easily swell and feel very uncomfortable.
The child is now six months old. Although Yu Zhi has not yet encountered this situation, he has to prepare for the future and clear the meridians and blood vessels for Yu Zhi in advance to warm his body so that he will suffer less.
The big palm with thin calluses wrapped around Yu Zhi's slightly cool feet, and the fingertips pressed the acupoints on the soles of the feet just right. The gentle internal force flowed out from the fingertips and flowed in.
Yu Zhi felt a slight warmth in the soles of her feet, a current of warmth flowing up through her feet and slowly into her uterus. The fetus inside her belly seemed to be awakened and gently stretched its body.
"Hmm..." Yu Zhi hummed.
Luo Tingshi looked up: "Did he kick you again?"
Yu Zhi shook his head: "No, it looks like he's stretching his neck and body."
Luo Tingshi put his ear close to the ground and listened, then raised his eyes with a leisurely smile and said, "The two little guys are full of energy. You must have suffered a lot. It must have been hard for you." As he spoke, Luo Tingshi sighed.
Yu Zhi lowered his eyes and looked at Luo Tingshi through the gradually dimming light. Seeing the heartache in the man's eyes, his eyelashes trembled slightly and he raised his eyes to look at the candle beside him.
"But it's almost dark at twilight time, so go and light the lamp."
Luo Tingshi obeyed the order and turned on the light, and continued to massage Yu Zhi in the warm room.
Yu Zhi's eyes stopped at the book, but he couldn't read a single word and didn't turn a page for a long time.
The man next to him was massaging him intently, from his feet all the way down to his calves. Whenever he encountered any tightness, he would stop and place his palms between the skin and flesh, massaging that area with moderate force.
Yu Zhi felt a strange feeling in his heart.
No matter what, he could not regard the man in front of him as the same as the "tyrant" at the Shengguo Palace banquet.
As the king of a country, she was busy serving him all day long, more devoted than the slaves in the palace.
His inner strength nourished her lower abdomen, making it feel warm, as if soaked in warm water, and the aches and pains of pregnancy gradually dissipated.
Yu Zhi was feeling uneasy, so he simply put down the book and looked at Luo Tingshi quietly.
Luo Tingshi asked without even looking up, "Your Majesty, why are you looking at me?"
Yu Zhi: "I just want to see you, do I need a reason?"
Luo Tingshi: "No need, Xiaoyu doesn't need a reason for anything she does to me."
When Yu Zhi heard this, he felt mixed emotions.
-
It was already the beginning of the Xu period when Luo Tingshi cleared all the meridians in Yu Zhi's body.
The servant brought Yu Zhi fish soup. The fish was exactly what Li Daniu had sent him today, and it was particularly delicious. Yu Zhi drank a bowl and wanted more, so Luo Tingshi poured him another bowl.
While drinking the soup, a burning gaze fell on Yu Zhi's chest. It was difficult for Yu Zhi to ignore it. He glared at the man opposite him.
"What's that look in your eyes?"
Luo Tingshi pursed his lips slightly, his eyes wandering, as if he wanted to say something but forced himself to hold it back.
Yu Zhi put down the bowl and said, "Just say whatever you want to say."
Luo Tingshi raised his eyes and looked at him: "I told you not to be angry, Xiaoyu."
Yu Zhi: "... Could it be some obscene language again?"
Luo Tingshi shook his head and said helplessly, "When I was wandering around the market, I heard that... some fish soups can stimulate lactation. After giving birth, women in the countryside would drink crucian carp soup to stimulate lactation if they didn't have enough milk."
"Cough, cough, cough!" Yu Zhi took a deep breath, his breath was cut off, and he started coughing violently.
Luo Tingshi hurried forward and patted Yu Zhi on the back to help him calm down.
After a while, Yu Zhi finally calmed down.
Tears of rationality were forced out of his eyes. He looked up at the man holding him in his arms, his eyes red and his voice slightly hoarse: "What do you want to say?"
Luo Tingshi shook his head repeatedly: "I won't say anymore."
Yu Zhi: "Speak!"
Luo Tingshi hesitated for a moment and asked him, "Will you have milk after giving birth to the child?"
Yu Zhi: “…”
