Chapter 666: The Reunion
Two hours later, the beginning of the hour of Hai.
The night was cold and damp.
It was now late at night and Liangzhou City looked pitch dark with only a few houses having their lights on.
However, when Wei Changtian's carriage stopped outside the gate of the small house, several small lanterns emitting soft light were lit outside the carriage.
"Brother Changtian."
"Sir."
Liang Qin and Yang Liushi had already been waiting at the door with a few maids, each of them wearing a thick cloak.
Although Wei Changtian went out in the morning and came back in the evening, the two girls still felt that today was particularly long. They were afraid that something might go wrong in the peace talks and were restless the whole day.
Fortunately, everything seems to be fine now.
"Brother Changtian, is the deal settled?"
Liang Qin walked closer quickly and asked nervously in a low voice: "Will Yan Huaiqing withdraw his troops?"
"Well, I'll personally take action. What kind of waves can a mere Yan Huaiqing cause?"
Wei Changtian was in a very relaxed mood now. He took the lantern from Liang Qin with a smile and said, "The two countries of Jue and Ji have already started fighting each other over in Tianshan. They will all go back in two days."
"Really?"
There was a flash of surprise in Liang Qin's eyes, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew, that's good, it's good that we don't fight anymore"
"Hahaha, of course it's better not to fight."
After laughing twice, Wei Changtian turned his head and looked at Yang Liushi.
Their eyes met in mid-air, and there was a long-lost sense of intimacy.
Ever since returning from Bailing Mountain, there has been a vague sense of estrangement between Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi.
And at this moment, the membrane seemed to finally loosen, and everything seemed to have returned to its original state.
"Liu Shi."
"Young Master."
They both smiled and opened their mouths at the same time, ready to say something to each other.
Now that the peace talks have finally come to a successful conclusion, Wei Changtian should want to have a good talk with Yang Liushi and make his attitude towards the issue of having children clear.
And Yang Liushi may have figured out some things today, and felt that there should be no grudges between the two of them, and that as long as they could be together it was good no matter what.
The clear moonlight came in and fell on their shoulders, spreading a soft glow.
The two words to clear up the misunderstanding were already on their lips. Given the relationship between Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi, as long as they talked it out, there would be nothing that could not be overcome.
However, at this moment, Liang Qin, who had not noticed all this, suddenly blushed and lowered her head, and said shyly in a low voice with some joy:
"Brother Changtian, Sister Liushi."
"I, I'm pregnant."
“.”
There was a full moon in the sky with a small corner missing, like a slightly flawed white jade plate.
When the moon is bright, the stars are sparse, so there are very few stars in the night sky.
In the bedroom, Wei Changtian looked at Liang Qin, who had a happy face, and asked in a low voice: "Are you really pregnant? When did it happen?"
“I just discovered it last night.”
Liang Qin replied embarrassedly: "Yesterday I found that my period did not come, which was a bit strange, so I asked a doctor to check my pulse today."
“Then I found out that I was indeed pregnant.”
"Is this what you were talking about this morning?"
Wei Changtian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why are you hiding such a good thing?"
"I didn't know whether it was true or not in the morning."
Liang Qin glared at Wei Changtian and said, "Besides, you are going to negotiate with Yan Huaiqing today. I am afraid that you will be distracted, so I thought I would talk to you later."
"What? Are you blaming me for not telling you right away?"
"What a talker! How can I blame you!"
Wei Changtian smiled awkwardly and apologized, bending down to carefully look at Liang Qin's belly, with the corners of his mouth rising more and more exaggeratedly.
Before, he always felt that he was not ready to be a father, and always felt that he had to wait a few more years until he was more mature before it would be appropriate to have a child.
But now that Liang Qin is pregnant and becoming a father is just around the corner, Wei Changtian realizes that the uneasiness in his heart has disappeared at some point, and has been replaced by anticipation and hope for a new life.
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
"The doctor said it will only take half a month at most. What can you tell now?"
On the other side, Liang Qin reached out and pushed Wei Changtian, her tone was reproachful, but her face was filled with joy that could not be hidden.
She looked down at her belly and quickly forgot what she had just said. She murmured happily:
"Brother Changtian, do you think it's a boy or a girl?"
"It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl! It would be best if it's twins!"
Wei Changtian straightened up with a smile: "Besides, we will have more than one child anyway, sooner or later we will have a boy and a girl!"
"Oh, what are you talking about!"
Liang Qin became even more embarrassed when she heard this, and whispered, "I also think that boys and girls are good, but if it's a boy, I think my mother-in-law and father-in-law will be happier."
"Hey, don't worry, they are all happy, regardless of whether they are men or women!"
"Is that so? Brother Changtian, there is no war in Liangzhou now. After Dajue's army withdraws in a few days, we can return to Shuzhou City, okay?"
"Okay! I'll do as you say! Just take good care of your pregnancy, I'll always be with you!"
"Then you better be nicer to me next time!"
"What are you talking about? When have I ever been bad to you?"
"Well I don't care, it has to be better than before!"
"Hahaha, okay, I'll agree to whatever you say!"
"That's what you said. By the way, Brother Changtian, do you think I can still practice swordplay while I'm pregnant? I haven't practiced the Guichen Sword to perfection yet."
"Well, how about we stop practicing for now?"
"But it shouldn't be a big deal."
"Then I'll find a good doctor tomorrow to ask. If the doctor says it's okay, then it's fine."
"Yeah! Oh, and there's more! I came up with a few names for the kids, would you like to hear them?"
"No, Qin'er, it's a bit early to name it now."
"Hey! Can you listen first?"
"Okay, okay, go ahead."
“.”
The two of them were talking to each other, and the candlelight was swaying gently beside them. The orange-red flame looked bright and warm.
At this moment, Yang Liushi was standing in the darkness not far outside the house, staring blankly at the bright window, the corner of her skirt swaying slightly in the cold wind.
She had been standing here for a long time, but she didn't understand why she came.
Gongzi and Qin'er should be very happy now. It's a pity that this kind of happiness will never belong to me. I held back the tears from my eyes and clutched the corner of my clothes tightly.
Yang Liushi didn't know what mood she was in, or what mood she should be in.
She wanted to be happy for Liang Qin, but she couldn't feel happy in her heart.
So she just stood there silently until the window went from bright to dark and the surroundings became completely quiet.
Are you asleep? Slowly taking a step back, Yang Liushi lowered her head somewhat dejectedly, and turned around to leave.
However, at this moment, there was a very slight sound of a door opening and closing behind him.
“.”
Turning back suddenly, Yang Liushi saw Wei Changtian sneaking out of the house.
However, Wei Changtian did not see her. After coming out, he jumped over the courtyard wall and headed north.
To the north, that is... Yang Liushi's eyes suddenly widened, then she lifted her skirt and ran across the bluestone path in the night, ran through the rustling bamboo forest, ran through the corridor with lanterns hung on it, until she stopped outside the courtyard where she lived.
She stood blankly in the moonlight, looking at the man not far away who was knocking on her door again and again. Finally, she could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes and ran towards the figure desperately.
“Plop!”
In the moonlight, two figures embraced each other.
At this moment, silence is better than words, and this hug is better than a thousand words.
The floating light is golden, and the still shadow is like a jade.
A nine-tenths crescent moon can still shine upon a round person.
