Chapter 68 One Month Pregnancy
After returning to the Beast King Palace, Duotu always used the excuse of being busy with official business and didn't even come to Taoyuanwu many times. Even if he came, he had no intention of touching her.
Sang Luo was really confused. He didn't give it to her but she asked for it. Then he asked for it but she didn't give it to him. Could this bastard be more straightforward?
She even suspected that he had taken too many drugs and was no longer able to perform!
Sang Luo had been in the palace for over half a month. The more dull the days became, the more upset she became. She couldn't wait any longer! She had to cut the Gordian knot quickly. Time couldn't be wasted any longer. She had to finish her mission and leave quickly!
She had been planning to proactively look for more pictures, but her physical condition became somewhat abnormal.
Sang Luo, who had given birth to two children before, knew her body very well. Thinking that her period had not come this month, she went to the imperial physician's palace halfway.
After the witch doctor finished the examination, his face changed suddenly, and Sang Luo thought he had some terminal illness.
"Congratulations, Her Majesty, you are pregnant! You are already one month pregnant!"
“…”
Sang Luo's heart rippled slightly, but then calmed down again. He took an apple from the fruit bowl, peeled it, and took a couple of bites. It seemed he had done his best to sow seeds that month. It would be good if she got pregnant sooner rather than later.
More pictures had been her goal.
The hybrid natural king beast Angel Lion is a rare sight to behold.
Sang Luo had planned before that after becoming a partner with him, they would have another litter of offspring.
Although these unpleasant things happened later, she had promised him early in the morning, so it could be considered that the grudge had come to an end...
Forget it, don't think too much about it. Sang Luo gently touched her still flat belly. After giving birth to this child, she would leave the Alans Empire and the Western Continent.
The witch doctor asked, "Your Majesty, should we tell the Beast King this good news now?"
Sang Luo pondered for a moment and nodded, "Tell him."
study.
Duotu was handling official business, and his expression was unusually cool and handsome.
An orc came hurriedly to report. The moment he heard the news, he stood up instantly, and the document in his hand fell to the ground. His head buzzed, and he could hardly hear anything else. "Luoluo..."
It took him a long time to react, his handsome face was full of joy, and the next second he teleported to the Imperial Hospital. Sang Luo took some pregnancy-preserving medicine, but before he could leave, he was hugged by someone.
Her body stiffened, and she subconsciously wanted to push him away. Her hand paused, but she slowly placed it on the man's strong arm and chuckled, "Your Majesty, why are you so out of control today?"
"Luoluo, you are pregnant. Is this true?" Duotu was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly.
Sang Luo smiled and took out the test results, showing them to him carefully. "The witch doctor said it himself, how could it be false?"
Duotu picked her up horizontally and strode out the door, saying to the witch doctors, "Reward, there will be a huge reward!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Sang Luo buried her head deep in his chest. From an angle that no one could see, her smile gradually faded, as if she was relieved, but not happy.
Duotu carried her back to the bedroom in Taoyuanwu, holding her hand for a long time.
Sang Luo took the initiative to ask, "Your Majesty, is there anything else you would like to order?"
"You, is there anything missing in your palace? Is there anything you need to add?"
"No, His Majesty has made all the arrangements properly, and I live very well in the palace."
"How did those two witch doctors serve you during your last delivery? If suitable, I can transfer them over, or you can go to the Imperial Hospital and pick out a few experienced witch doctors to serve you, to avoid any accidents." His tone was obviously nervous and helpless.
Sang Luo smiled comfortingly, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I'm fine. This isn't my first time giving birth."
Duotu's palms were sweating, and he hesitated to speak. Sang Luo joked, "There are some things that Your Majesty may not have time to say if you don't say them sooner rather than later."
"Luoluo, let's... let's do the couple's ceremony. Otherwise, it won't look good if we wait until the baby is born..."
"OK."
Duotu was stunned for a moment before he realized what she had said. He stood up excitedly and said, "I'll get ready right away!"
"Then I'll leave everything to Your Majesty. I won't worry about it." Sang Luo yawned, obviously sleepy.
Duotu covered her with the quilt, gently touched her face, stayed by the bed for a while, and then left.
Sang Luo opened her eyes again and looked out the window with a calm look.
She would choose an appropriate time to leave, but she didn't want her child to stay and be criticized.
She doesn't like to look at too many pictures anymore.
But this future little prince, the next crown prince of the Alans Empire, should be born happily under the love of the Beast King and the Queen.
Before she left, she had to at least leave behind the last thing she could give.
Everything about the couple-tying ceremony was handled by Duotu.
With the experience from last time, he made all the arrangements this time and the process was much faster than last time.
After all, the couple's wedding ceremony was held one month later.
On the eve of the event, the servants had taken care of her makeup and hair. Sang Luo held her delicate cheek with one hand, looked out the window at the dawn gradually breaking, and yawned boredly.
It wasn't until she saw a tall and slender figure hurriedly approaching that she finally regained her spirits. From a distance, she smiled and flirted, "Your Majesty~"
"You guys should step back first."
After Duotu entered the room, he dismissed the servants who were serving him, walked up to her and took out the brocade box.
He also specially ordered a dress, which was as exquisite and gorgeous as the previous one.
Sang Luo changed into the dress in front of him. It fit her well and the fabric was very comfortable.
Duotu must have been specifically instructed to remove the waist corset so that it wouldn't squeeze the stomach.
My two-month-old belly is a little round, and a corset can cover it a little. Although this is more comfortable, it also makes my pregnancy look a little obvious.
"Will this... be laughed at by others?" Sang Luo frowned.
Throughout the dynasties, has there ever been a partnership ceremony held only after a woman is pregnant?
"Let's see who dares to laugh? Forget about your head!" Duotu half-knelt on the ground and gently put on her shoes.
According to the ceremonies of previous years, Sang Luo should have worn elegant high-heeled shoes with gold-threaded hollow beads, dressing herself up like a gift that was dressed up for an event. It was beautiful, but too harsh.
Duotu was worried that the shoes she wore were uncomfortable and could easily cause her to sprain her ankle, so he specifically instructed the Ministry of Rites to replace her with a pair of more comfortable flat-soled brocade shoes with totem patterns outlined in gold thread, which looked noble and elegant.
She swung her feet, looked down and smiled, "Your Majesty acts like an unreasonable tyrant."
Duotu stood up, looked at her smiling face, and reached out to gently touch her fair and rosy face, saying in a trance, "Luoluo, you are so beautiful today!"
She dropped her veil and placed her hand in his broad, slender palm. "Your Majesty, let's go."
The wedding ceremony was grand.
It was more grand than Sang Luo had imagined.
Witnessed by countless orcs, petals fell from the sky. Duotu lifted the veil from her face and put on the crown. His hands trembled uncontrollably.
Sang Luo took the initiative to hug him and tiptoed to give him a kiss.
The excited revelry in the auditorium was deafening, with one wave after another. After a long time, the night gradually fell.
As the queen, Sang Luo naturally had to drink and socialize with the nobles who came to the banquet. She was tired after a day of work, so she took off her gorgeous clothes in the middle of the night and lay on the bed, not wanting to move at all.
Not long after, Duotu also came back.
He changed out of his noble and gorgeous clothes during the day, put on a soft casual dress made of silk, and walked to the bed.
Sang Luo was half asleep when someone hugged her waist from behind.
The man's breath enveloped and engulfed her entire body.
Duotu's hot and broad chest almost melted her.
Sang Luo woke up and whispered softly, "Your Majesty..."
Duotu buried his head in her neck and shoulders, greedily sniffing her body fragrance. From the first time he met her, he liked her smell very much. Now she had a faint milky fragrance on her body, which made him instinctively feel safe, dependent, and excited.
His breath fell on her neck and behind her ears, causing waves of shivers.
He nuzzled her face and lowered his head for a kiss.
She tilted her head slightly to avoid it. "Um... child, the witch doctor said it's still early. Don't overwork yourself during this period."
"I haven't been close to you for a long time... Soothe it." His voice was hoarse, and he pulled her hand and went down.
Her fingertips shuddered suddenly, her face flushed slightly, and she said tiredly, "Your Majesty, I'm tired. Let's rest first."
Duotu didn't dare to have any other thoughts anymore. He just hugged her and didn't touch her anymore.
Sang Luo was still asleep, but he fell asleep quickly.
She tilted her head to look at the man who was sleeping in the same bed with her.
He held her in one hand and gently embraced her belly with the other, sleeping peacefully, as if he had let down all his defenses.
He wants a happy family of his own.
…
Since this incident, the relationship between the two seems to have eased a lot silently. Duotu always brings Sang Luo with him when attending important ceremonies. The two have been basically inseparable and inseparable these days. When outsiders see them, they all praise the harmony between the emperor and the empress.
Sang Luo also followed Duotu and got to know several ministers. He had a good relationship with the noble wives of the ministers' families. They would have a leisurely afternoon tea together on weekdays, and he also heard a lot of interesting stories from them.
I heard that Duotu has been eliminating traitors recently.
After the old Beast King's accidental death, power in the court shifted secretly. His position was not stable after he ascended the throne, and he was eager to take back the power of the noble princes bit by bit and stabilize politics.
But what we removed were just the small fish and shrimp on the surface. The real big guys are still hiding in the dark, and we don’t know when they will rush up and bite us back.
Sang Luo is quite confident in Duotu's methods and style. His strategy and talent are better than his father, Egali Yalans.
If he really can't keep this position, he can forget about raising children.
Sang Luo no longer cared about the affairs of the previous dynasty, but was more concerned about the situation of her own child.
She had thought that with the experience of her previous two pregnancies, this one would be much easier, but in reality, this one was no easier than before. She even suspected that she was going to empty the Alans family's treasury.
Duotu looked at her belly growing bigger and bigger, and he couldn't help but feel happy in the corners of his eyes and brows.
Sang Luo said, "Your Majesty, this baby's talent will probably be a pleasant surprise. You must prepare food and don't let my mother and I go hungry."
"Okay, those guys from the previous dynasty hid a lot of good stuff. Just wait, I'll get them all for you."
"Confiscation of property? The ministers and nobles will be chilled to death when they hear you say that." She winked playfully.
"Those people aren't honest either, but don't worry, Luoluo. I'll clean them all up."
Duotu looked at her affectionately and said, "I will give you and the child the best I can."
“…” A ripple appeared in Sang Luo’s heart uncontrollably, but it was quickly suppressed.
She stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, opened it, and a cool breeze poured in.
He looked up at the overcast sky, stretched out his hand, and a tiny piece of snowflakes fell into his palm and quickly melted away.
Sang Luo said excitedly, "Your Majesty, it's snowing."
"Is this your first time seeing the snowy season in the Western Continent?" Duotu came over and put a ferret cloak on her, wrapping her up tightly. "Don't let the wind blow or you'll catch a cold."
"I guess so. I used to live in a border tribe. During the cold season, it snowed heavily there, up to half a meter thick. I couldn't even leave the house. I could only stay indoors, waiting for others to come back from hunting and bring me food."
"You were in the previous tribe..." Duotu spoke quickly, obviously wanting to ask more questions, but the words reached his throat and he swallowed the second half of the sentence, rubbing her head, "You suffered."
"I've been in my former tribe for over a decade. Your Majesty, don't you want to know what my life was like before? Don't you want to know if there were other people around me?"
Duotu knew that she came from an unknown small tribe in the border Rubel Forest, but he never asked her about her past. He probably knew the answer in his heart, so he chose to keep silent.
"I don't care about your past. As long as you are willing to be with me now, that's enough."
The Alans Empire ushered in a cold season lasting several months.
Quan Xiu left the Western Continent overnight.
Duotu has been watching her more closely these days. Except for attending court, he keeps her by his side almost every moment, never leaving his side!
Sang Luo said to him, "Your Majesty, do you remember what I said last time? Caesar is not my first male. He may not be as important to me as you think. Now that he is dead, there is no need for you to be on guard against him like a thief."
"...Your first mate wasn't him? Then who was it? Did you have other mates in that tribe before?"
"Yeah." Sang Luo stared at him closely.
A flash of jealousy flashed across Duotu's eyes, but it quickly faded. He said gently, "Luoluo, I don't care. Do you want to take him over? He's still in the Koldo tribe, right? I'll send someone..."
"The Koldo tribe was invaded by a tide of beasts and has long been reduced to ruins. Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about anything else. Now, you are the only one I have." Her smile faded.
Duotu hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, and whispered, "...I, I don't mean that. If you take him over, you won't worry about him anymore. I just want you to worry about me alone."
"That won't do."
"Luoluo!" He looked nervous.
Sang Luo touched her belly and smiled, "And our child. Your Majesty has another person to worry about besides me."
