Chapter 73



Not long after the empress gave the gift, Su Yi heard that Sun Shuli had received a poor grade in the annual official performance evaluation and would be transferred out of the capital to the south after the year.

The people in that area were tough and uncivilized, which was very different from the capital. Not to mention whether Sun Shuli, who had been a playboy since childhood, was qualified, the long journey alone was enough to make his small body drink a bottle of wine.

Sun Shuli was a descendant of Prince An and had always followed his lead. Because of this big tree, he had been like a fish in water in the officialdom in recent years. Now he was suddenly demoted, which was tantamount to a great loss of face for Prince An.

This was the emperor's compensation to Prince Rui. Although he was reluctant to take action directly against his own son, he would never be soft-hearted towards some insignificant little people.

The emperor and empress have expressed their opinions, and the matter is over. If Prince Rui still wants to cause trouble for Prince An, it will be seen as too petty by outsiders.

Prince Rui is now in no mood to pay attention to outsiders.

The servants in the entire palace know that their prince now holds the princess in his heart. He can't leave her for a moment, twelve hours a day, and cherishes her like the apple of his eye.

If it were a few months ago, who would have thought that the martial arts-crazy Prince Rui would have an object that he is more obsessed with than martial arts? Around

the New Year, people from other palaces came to pay New Year's greetings and saw how considerate Prince Rui was to Princess Rui. Even a sip of tea had to be cooled before it was passed to the other person's mouth, not to mention the constant focused eyes and the companionship that never left her side. I'm afraid there is no other man who is so attentive and considerate to his wife.

Now, when people in the capital mention the King of Rui, they say less about the 'King of Yan' and more about the love between the King and the Princess. Wu Chi has become a wife- obsessed man.

Many people are envious and jealous of Su Yi. She has unique beauty, the honorable position of the Princess, and all the favors of the King. She has all the good things in the world, so how can she not feel jealous when people mention her?

Others are envious, and Su Yi herself is distressed.

One or two days would be fine, but the fact that Prince Rui was always sticking to her like this made her annoyed. She finally managed to lure him to the martial arts arena for a fight, and finally kicked the loser out of the palace. She went out to do official business and stole half a day of leisure.

Qinglian looked at her leisurely and free look and couldn't help laughing: "Others envy the love between the prince and the princess, but they don't know that the princess is worried about the spring water in the pond."

"Don't mention him." Su Yi leaned against the window, looking at the snow dripping under the eaves, and said unhappily.

Spring is coming. Although melting snow is colder than snowing, after the snow melts, tender green buds emerge on the exposed ground.

Su Yi counted on her fingers and found that when she came to this world, the peach blossoms were about to bloom. It has been exactly one year now. The wish she made at that time has basically been fulfilled, except for the addition of a sticky follower.

Qinglian seemed to remember the past, looking out the window and sighing: "A year ago, I didn't dare to think about the good life I have now. Miss really became a princess, and the prince is so good to you. It feels like a dream."

Su Yi smiled and said, "What is there to be afraid of? It's still early now. I can't bear to let you go, but in the future, if you have children, whether male or female, let them go and let them be free. If they are promising and willing to study, I will support them. One day, when your children become officials, I will ask for an imperial decree for you. That will be your good life."

Qinglian's eyes were filled with tears. She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say to express her gratitude.

Su Yi tilted her head and said to her teasingly with a smile: "I wonder if you are pregnant now?"

It was just a joke, but Qinglian subconsciously touched her belly and her face gradually turned red.

"Did I guess it right?" Su Yi blinked, looking surprised. "Why didn't you tell me when it happened?"

Qinglian blushed and stammered, "It's not confirmed yet, but my period hasn't come for more than 20 days this month, and I was afraid it would be a false alarm..."

"Why are you afraid of false alarms? You must be pregnant!" Su Yi said firmly, and immediately asked someone to call the doctor, and taught Qinglian, "You need to be most careful in the first few months, but you come to serve me and run around with me. What if you get bumped? The doctor will come to see you later, and you can go back and rest. There's nothing to worry about with me, Qingxing is enough."

"How can the young lady say that so seriously? Besides, Qingxing is not experienced enough to handle the big occasion. Let me follow you."

Su Yi waved her hand and made the decision on the spot, "I have experience in giving birth to children. Just do as I say."

After that, Qinglian looked at her strangely, and asked: You have never given birth to a child, where do you get the experience?

Su Yi did not really give birth, but she was treated as a pregnant woman. No matter who has experienced it, it is impressive enough.

When Prince Rui returned to the mansion, the doctor had just left. The maids in the mansion surrounded Qinglian to congratulate him. When he came in, everyone was as quiet as quails.

"Is anyone in the mansion sick?" Prince Rui walked straight to Su Yi and sat down. He took her teacup with one hand and drank tea, and squeezed her palm with the other hand.

Su Yi said, "It's not sick, it's Qinglian who is pregnant."

Hearing this, Prince Rui put down the teacup and looked at Qinglian's belly with a serious face.

Qinglian was so uncomfortable to stand there, and the maids were so angry that they dared not say a word.

Seeing this, Su Yi asked them to step back, then hooked King Rui's chin and asked, "What are you looking at?"

King Rui turned his head following her force, his brows still furrowed, as if he was thinking about some eternal puzzle, "How could she have a baby?"

Su Yi said speechlessly, "Qinglian and her husband have been married for five years. If they had not been separated all the time, the child would have run away long ago. Now they live together, what's so strange about having a child?"

King Rui lowered his eyelids, quickly glanced at her belly, then raised his head and nodded nonchalantly, "So that's it."

"..." Her acting skills are too poor. Do you know what it means to be deceiving?

Su Yi never beats around the bush and asked directly, "Do you want a baby too?"

The King of Rui was no longer interested in this. Su Yi had forbidden him to touch hands when someone was present, but not to hug. Now that the servants had left, he naturally reached out his hand, took the princess to his lap, and put his strong arms around her waist.

Hearing Su Yi's question, he said, "The Emperor's uncle is always nagging."

The emperor would probably be angry again after hearing what he said.

But Su Yi could imagine how much urging this guy had endured. In this era, some men in their thirties are about to have grandchildren, but he was still single not long ago. How many words had he suffered from the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the Empress in the years since he became an adult? It was rare for him to act like nothing had happened.

Not to mention him, even Su Yi, who had only been married for a few months, had received countless overt and covert hints from the Queen Mother. After all, the times were different, and the status was different. If there was no heir for the dignified Rui Wang Mansion, the future would not be stable.

The Rui Wang kissed Su Yi's cheek, and seeing that she had no reaction, and she didn't even push him with her hand as usual, she felt ignored and was not very happy, so she kissed him again.

Su Yi then slapped him on the face and said, "I'm thinking about serious matters, be serious."

The Rui Wang kissed her palm and said, "You say."

"Do you want me to have a child?" Su Yi turned her upper body and looked at him and asked.

The palm of the King of Rui gently stroked her back, "

If you want to, give birth." "How can you not give birth if you don't want to? The emperor is the first to disagree."

"If he wants, let him give birth himself."

Su Yi was amused by his serious tone, "If the emperor can give birth himself, the harem will be clean."

In fact, giving birth or not, Su Yi didn't think it was a problem. After all, she didn't have to give birth for real, and Maotuan had been her son once. Both of them had experience. If they wanted a child, wouldn't it be easy?

She just wanted to see what King Rui's attitude was on this matter. However, looking at the person who was pinching her fingers at this time, Su Yi felt that the other party's interest in children was probably not as good as her hand.

But she still decided to have a child, first to let Maotuan out to play, and second to deal with those big shots in the palace in exchange for a quiet life.

Qinglian was forced to rest by her, and the servants that night were replaced by Qingxing and another senior maid in the palace.

The two of them were young, and unlike Qinglian, they were not married. When serving dinner, they saw the prince taking good care of the princess, making soup and picking up dishes, which made them useless. They could only stand aside at a loss, blushing and not daring to look at him. The dinner time was very unbearable.

After bathing, Su Yi asked them to leave, and she combed her hair in front of the mirror with a comb.

The wooden comb was suddenly taken over by someone, and she did not even turn around, letting the person comb her hair in a strange way.

The candlelight flickered slightly, casting the shadows of the two on the window, and their intimate appearance made people envious.

Before falling asleep at night, Su Yi lay on King Rui as usual, tapping his chest with her index finger from time to time.

King Rui put one hand around her back, rested his chin on the top of her head, and lowered his head to kiss her from time to time.

Su Yi was very suspicious. If he always kissed her like this, wouldn't he kiss her hair?

She suddenly said, "Why don't we have a baby?"

King Rui didn't react, just hummed.

Su Yi listened to it and felt that this guy was very calm, not like the surprised look when he stared at Qinglian's belly in the afternoon. Did he get used to it so quickly?

She was too lazy to ask more questions, yawned, and fell asleep in a daze.

In the middle of the night, she suddenly felt some movement around her. Suyi opened her eyes and saw the King of Rui staring at her lower abdomen with his extremely clear eyes, without blinking, with a big hand on it.

Seeing that Suyi woke up, he frowned and said, "When will the baby come out?"

Suyi said nothing and slapped him in the face.

No matter when, it will not suddenly pop out in the middle of the night!

The author has something to say: Gouzi: Call daddy.

Maotuan: ...
