Chapter 251 Warmth
As the sun sets, smoke rises up, and the white walls and green tiles are dyed golden.
Snow-white pear blossoms are everywhere on the wall, and pink peach blossoms are falling on the bluestone slabs.
Pretty forsythia flowers and red azalea clusters.
Spring makes people happy just by looking at it, and the gradually warming temperature dispels the gloom of winter.
Having just finished a shower, Gu Huan's body was still emitting mist, and her hair was not yet completely dry. Her long black hair was scattered and fluttering slowly in the spring breeze.
Seeing the peach trees in the yard in full bloom, I couldn't help but lift up my skirt, stand on tiptoe, and reach out to pick the branch with the most blossoming peach flowers.
Her skirt is slightly lifted and her smile is as bright as the rising sun.
Mu Junyan saw this scene when he appeared at the door.
His heart moved slightly, and he quietly approached her from behind.
Gu Huan suddenly felt someone behind her. She turned around in surprise, and her steps overlapped in panic. Before she fell, she fell into a warm and solid embrace.
He put his long arms around her shoulders and wrapped the delicate girl in his arms with a warm cloak.
Kissing the ear, whispering: "Be careful of the spring cold."
Gu Huan turned her head.
His hot lips slid from the ear to the delicate cheek, and when their lips touched, it was like a burst of flames.
After a long time, they reluctantly parted.
Mu Junyan's eyes were as bright as stars as he stared into those pearl-like eyes.
"You want to pick peach blossoms?"
Gu Huan smiled sweetly: "Well, husband, help me?"
"That's natural."
Mu Junyan took off his cloak and put it on her, holding her hand and asking, "Which one do you like?"
Gu Huan raised her hand and pointed: "This one is so beautiful."
"Okay." Mu Junyan carefully picked down the peach blossom branch.
The girl next to him smiled brightly: "You are so amazing, not a single peach blossom fell."
"Of course, since the lady wants one, naturally not a single flower can be lost. Let's go inside and put it in."
Mu Junyan's big hand held Gu Huan's soft and boneless little hand, warmth flowed between their skin, and the two smiled at each other.
The two of them entered the house together. Gu Huan placed the peach blossom branch into the white jade vase on the dressing table, then turned around and looked at his face which was covered with beard again.
Chuckling: "I'll arrange a bath for you?"
"Please sit down." Mu Junyan stepped forward, held her hand and pulled her to the bedside, "I will go take a shower. Madam, wait for me."
He turned his head and shouted outside: "Dong Mo, prepare water for bathing."
The door is not closed.
Dong Mo answered loudly, "Yes."
Mu Junyan turned around and raised his hand to touch her chin.
Gu Huan was slightly stunned, then blushed and said coquettishly, "Where did you learn this?"
Mu Junyan rubbed her red and bleeding ear tips: "I learned it from you. You used to be very good at coaxing me, and you coaxed me into a trance. If I didn't know how to coax you, wouldn't those handsome young men have coaxed you away?"
Gu Huan blinked her eyes and gently tugged at his sleeve with her slender fingertips: "Hey, that doesn't make sense."
Mu Junyan put on a serious face instead: "What's wrong?"
Gu Huan tilted her head and looked at him: "Are you jealous of Chu Huai? Really?"
"Who said that? Would I be jealous? Why would I be jealous?" Mu Junyan stretched out his long arms, pulled her into his arms, and lifted her chin.
"Will you make your husband jealous?"
Gu Huan raised her eyebrows: "That's hard to say. I am naturally loyal to my husband, but everyone in the world knows that I am a widow. I am beautiful, and there may be people who secretly love me."
"Let's see who dares!" Mu Junyan kissed the soft lips of the person who was talking fiercely as if punishing her.
He kissed Gu Huan until she gasped and begged for mercy: "I was just teasing you, let go quickly, be careful of the child."
Mu Junyan then gently let her go.
He looked down at her bulging fetus and gently stroked it with his big hand: "Come out quickly, you are blocking your father and your mother's good deeds."
Gu Huan's eyes widened and she slapped him: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Mu Junyan laughed, but suddenly his whole body froze, and he stared at his belly nervously: "It's moving, the baby is moving!"
Gu Hua chuckled: "How can you move when you are still so young?"
She has been pregnant for more than five months, and her belly is not that big, so she doesn't feel anything unusual.
"Really. Really."
Mu Junyan quickly helped Gu Huan to sit down, then he squatted down and put his ear to his belly to listen.
"It's gurgling, like there's a lot of water. Could the child be in the water?"
Mu Junyan looked bewildered.
Gu Huan had never given birth, but her nanny had taught her, and she had also read a lot of books on how to raise a good child. She knew that a lot of water would come out when a woman gave birth, so the child might be living in the water.
Gu Huan leaned on the bed and gently stroked Mu Junyan's hair with one hand: "Well, it's like a little fish."
Her heart is now filled with happiness.
From then on, neither the father nor the son could leave her.
Mu Junyan's face was full of surprise: "Really, the little fish swam over and flicked its tail at me."
Gu Huan couldn't help but laugh: "Is the child really a fish? It even has a tail?"
"Yeah, how could it be a fish?"
Mu Junyan laughed loudly, then suddenly realized: "Feet, it must be feet. My son has strong feet, just like me."
Gu Huan rolled her eyes at him and said, "What if it's a daughter?"
"My daughter will definitely be as beautiful as her mother, but she may also be strong, because she is my child."
Gu Huan smiled and agreed softly, "That's true. If she were a daughter, she could become a female general like her mother."
Mu Junyan raised his eyebrows: "Are you willing to do that?"
Gu Huan nodded: "I'm willing to do that. All of our children will be as heroic and extraordinary as you."
Mu Junyan looked at her steadily, his eyes slightly red: "I am lucky to marry you."
Gu Huan gently stroked his eyebrows with her fingers and whispered, "Being able to marry you is the blessing I have cultivated in my past and present lives."
Mu Junyan raised his head, and Gu Huan leaned down...
"Master, bathing...ah...I didn't see it, I didn't see it."
Dong Mo was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around and ran out.
He bumped into Donghua head-on, their noses bumped hard, and their lips suddenly pressed together.
Both of them were dizzy and dazed, staring at each other and standing there for a moment.
Dong Mo suddenly woke up, stepped back in fright, and ran away in panic.
"Ah! Dong Mo! Wuwu...you damn hooligan!"
Donghua covered her bleeding nose and ran after Dongmo crying.
Dong Mo covered his bleeding nose and ran around the peach tree.
Gu Huan: “…”
Mu Junyan: "..."
The two looked at each other.
Well, it seems we can bring them together.
After Mu Junyan took a shower and changed her clothes, she returned to the bedroom. Gu Huan was already sitting on the bed, staring at her.
He lifted the quilt and got on the bed, hugging her in his arms: "You have worked hard these days."
Gu Huan snuggled in his arms: "It's not hard, but it's very distressing."
She looked up and said, "Is the emperor going to announce who the crown prince is? I really want you to come back with dignity."
Mu Junyan held up her little face and pecked it: "It will be soon. Prince Ping'an will not give up easily. Even though the military power in the capital has been removed, the Jiang family's network of relationships is intricate. If all their arms are not really cut off, making it impossible for them to turn over, they will definitely come back once they have the chance."
Mu Junyan touched her face distressedly: "You are pregnant, and I feel sorry for making you so scared."
"It's alright. You and I are one. There are things for women to do and things for men to do."
Suddenly, there was a noise outside.
They both looked at it together.
The sky in the west was red.
"The fire is breaking!" Gu Huan quickly sat up straight.
Mu Junyan quickly threw back the quilt and got out of bed: "Don't move yet, I'll go take a look."
"Don't go!" Gu Huan hurriedly wanted to get out of bed, but her stomach slowed down her movements, so she grabbed Mu Junyan's sleeve in a hurry.
"Leave quickly, it would be bad if someone tries to test you."
Mu Junyan turned around and supported her: "Don't move."
Gu Huan grabbed his arm and said anxiously, "If you don't find a chance to come back, but someone finds out you're still alive, they can charge you with deceiving the emperor. We're here at the Duke's Mansion, so this little fire won't matter. It won't burn here."
Mu Junyan frowned, stood up and observed for a moment.
His face darkened: "It's Zui Mo Xuan."
Mu An?
