Chapter 199 I Love Both My Daughter and My Son
"Well, my waist aches every time I'm pregnant. The more I get into the later stages of pregnancy, the more sore it gets. My stomach also swells up, so I like to lie in bed and rest."
"Thank you for your hard work, Sang'er." Lou Xianyue gently rubbed and massaged her waist and abdomen, and took out a bottle of milky white ointment from somewhere and applied it on her belly to relieve the discomfort of bloating.
"It's been less than a month and your belly is much bigger than before," he said.
More than 20 days ago, Sang Luo's belly was about the same size as a human's during two or three months of pregnancy. Now it is almost six or seven months old. This little cub has made up for the previously stagnant development in the middle and late stages of pregnancy.
Sang Luo snuggled in Lou Xianyue's arms, her arms hooked around his neck, whispering in his ear, "Do you want another son or a daughter?"
"I like anything you give birth to."
"If I have to choose one!"
Lou Xianyue thought about it seriously and smiled warmly, "I want a daughter. Xiao'an is more like me. I also want a daughter who looks like you."
"Haha, Xiao An also kept talking about wanting a sister. I was afraid he would be sad, so I told him it was a sister."
"Maybe...it really is a sister."
"Really? Are you sure?" Sang Luo looked at him with shining eyes. She was also curious whether this baby was a girl or a boy.
Seeing her expectant expression, Lou Xianyue lowered his head and kissed her eyebrows, then nodded and smiled, "I'm the child's father, I can sense it. The longer the child develops, the stronger my feeling becomes. This baby is different from when I was pregnant with Xiao'an. It's probably a sister."
"Listen again?"
Lou Xianyue followed his instructions and put his ear to her stomach. The next second, he felt like he was gently kicked. He was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. "Sang'er, did the child move just now? It, it also sensed me, right!"
Sang Luo also gently covered her belly, smiling at his rare loss of composure, "This baby is more lively than Xiao'an."
I didn't have much fetal movement when I was pregnant with Xiao'an.
Speaking of this, Lou Xianyue felt both regretful and happy. "Last time when you were pregnant with Xiao'an, I couldn't be with you. This time I must be with you."
"That's a deal, you're not allowed to leave again."
"Well, I'm not leaving."
The two of them shared a moment of tenderness. Sang Luo thought of something and asked him, "By the way, how is the Eye of Guixu now? You don't want it anymore..."
"The Eye of Guixu has been sealed again."
"Did Fei Yuan really do it?" Sang Luo remembered what he said before leaving the Void Demon Realm.
She owed him her life.
This time I really owe you a favor, and it's hard to repay it.
Lou Xianyue nodded, but also puzzled. "I don't know how Feng Huang did it, but the price of sealing the Eye of Guixu was extremely high. I'm afraid he..."
Sang Luo's heart sank. "I'll go back to the East Continent sometime and thank him properly."
"I should personally go and express my gratitude with a generous gift."
The two of them dawdled for a long time, and after breakfast... it was time for lunch. They went to Cheng'en Hall and saw Zai Xin teaching Lan'an his lessons. Ever since Sang Luo and he agreed on three chapters, he had been studying very diligently.
Sang Luo reached out and grabbed Lou Xianyue who was about to enter the house. He shook his head. He didn't want to disturb his son's studies, but Xiao An glanced at the door and called out cheerfully, "Mom and Dad, what are you two doing sneaking around like that?"
The two had no choice but to enter the hall.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, the Queen, your Majesty." Zai Xin bowed and wanted to leave first.
Sang Luo quickly reached out to stop him, "Master Zai, don't worry about us. Aze and I just came over to take a look and will be leaving soon."
Lou Xianyue flipped through the books on the table. "Account book?"
"Yes, your Highness is very intelligent and quick to grasp things. I have taken a few old treasury ledgers and will teach you some arithmetic."
Sang Luo also took the account book and took a look. She noticed something was wrong at first glance. Just from the few pages she casually flipped through, she found that the numbers in several account books were wrong. It was obvious that some officials under her had embezzled money.
This is the account book from last year, when Lou Xianyue was still in office!
Sang Luo glanced at him and said, "Look at all the messes you made when you were in power. You left all the messes to your son."
Lou Xianyue touched his nose and said, "I, I don't really read these things."
He either slept or refined weapons, and left these boring things to his subordinates.
"You are so incompetent as the King of the Sea. The corrupt officials are going crazy with joy." Sang Luo was so angry that she wanted to kick him.
Sang Luo flipped through the first few pages of the account book again, marked up all the unreasonable accounts, and said hurriedly, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zai."
Zai Xin laughed and said, "I didn't change this, it was His Majesty who changed it."
"Son, did you change this?" Sang Luo looked at Lan An in surprise.
Xiao An blushed, "Mother, was it wrong for me to change it?"
Zai Xin, "Your Majesty is the smartest child I have ever seen in my life. Many adult beastmen cannot figure out these calculations, but Your Majesty can calculate them quickly and accurately, without making any mistakes."
Sang Luo's face was full of smiles. "My son is so smart, much better than you, a foolish father!"
Lou Xianyue was innocently caught in the crossfire and couldn't refute a single word, "That 'Zhuazhou' ritual... is quite effective."
"Hmph~ That's because my son is smart!" Sang Luo hugged Xiao An and kissed him. He was very confident about his son's homework. The two of them stayed for a while to avoid distracting him.
After going out.
Sang Luo gently grabbed Lou Xianyue's jade-white earlobe and tapped it, "Do you still want this throne? Xiao An is so young, you don't really want to be a hands-off boss and get by forever, do you?"
Before, Lou Xianyue was determined to die, so he was in a hurry to pass on the throne. It was really a helpless move. Now that he is back alive and will not die for the time being, he should take over the throne, but seeing how leisurely and relaxed he is, he has no intention of taking over the throne at all.
"Experiencing two changes of dynasties in a short period of time will easily cause unrest among the people in the South China Sea. I think we should..." Lou Xianyue's voice gradually faded.
Sang Luo was furious. "Xiao An isn't even three years old yet, and he can't even read all the words!"
She touched her belly and snorted softly, "Your father is too unreliable. I won't raise this baby for you after it's born!"
"That won't do! I'll go and redraft the edict now!" Lou Xianyue suddenly became anxious.
On the one hand, he didn't value the throne very much, but more importantly, he had important people and obsessions in his heart, and wanted to spend more time with Sang Luo and the child... But his son was indeed too young, and he had to wait until Xiao An transformed before he could abdicate the throne to him.
"That's more like it!"
Sang Luo was satisfied. Seeing the man's beautiful pink earlobes pinched and the lotus earrings a little crooked, she felt a little itchy. She went forward and kissed him, with her hands behind her back, smiling dangerously, "Hurry up!"
Lou Xianyue returned to his study, drafted a new edict, issued an order, and ascended the throne of the Sea King again.
As for the corrupt officials and orcs under his command, he had known about it for a long time and was just deliberately playing a long game to catch a bigger fish. He confiscated all their property and added a considerable amount of income to the national treasury.
