Chapter 63 Learning to Be Jealous
Xiao Chenglan had said during the day that he would come to accompany her at night, and Jiang Yingli had been looking forward to it all afternoon.
Hearing Fu Wanquan shouting that His Majesty has arrived, Jiang Yingli happily went out to greet him.
When she saw Xiao Chenglan, the smile on her lips became even sweeter, and she saluted while smiling.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Seeing her happy, Xiao Chenglan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips. He walked up to Jiang Yingli, naturally held her hand, and said softly:
"I have brought Doctor Zhang here to tell you something. Please listen carefully."
Jiang Yingli then noticed Doctor Zhang waiting at the door of the outer hall, and she nodded.
"Okay, please ask Doctor Zhang to come in."
Xiao Chenglan and Jiang Yingli sat down, while Imperial Physician Zhang stood respectfully in the hall and said slowly:
"It was my fault for concealing Your Majesty's health condition earlier. However, I was also following His Majesty's orders. Since Your Majesty has ordered me to stop concealing it, I will explain it to Your Majesty in detail. It is indeed difficult for Your Majesty to conceive right now, and even if you could conceive, it would probably damage the mother's body."
Hearing this, Jiang Yingli subconsciously clenched her hands. Xiao Chenglan stroked the back of her hand with his fingertips, intending to comfort her.
Jiang Yingli pursed her lips and continued listening.
"However, Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. Your condition is not congenital. It is simply due to the effects of physical weakness in early life. As long as you patiently take care of yourself, you will be no different from an ordinary person, and the fetus will be healthy."
Jiang Yingli's frown finally relaxed. "Then, Doctor Zhang, how long will it take to recuperate?"
"The Empress is generally in good health now. It could take as little as six months or as long as three years. There's no exact timeframe."
Jiang Yingli breathed a sigh of relief. Half a year to three years was not a very long time, which meant that her condition was indeed not serious.
A hand came over her head and rubbed her.
"Are you completely relieved now? It's not a difficult illness to treat. It will heal slowly. Don't be sad about it anymore."
Jiang Yingli raised her eyes and met Xiao Chenglan's calm and soothing gaze. Her heart softened, and the last bit of worry disappeared. She nodded obediently.
"Okay, I understand. I won't be sad about this anymore."
Xiao Chenglan smiled and said, "Be good."
Looking at the emperor and his empress who were so deeply in love, Imperial Physician Zhang couldn't help but lower his eyes.
His late wife had passed away five years ago, and the worldly affairs had nothing to do with him anymore. However, he never expected that there were such touching emotions in the deep palace.
Since His Majesty was able to produce the medical records of the past four years for him to review, he knew that His Majesty treated Zhao Chongyi differently from others.
It's not ordinary pampering, but caring for her as if she were his first wife.
"I will do my best to help your majesty achieve her wish as soon as possible."
Jiang Yingli looked at Doctor Zhang with gratitude in her eyes, "Then I would like to thank Doctor Zhang very much."
In order to thank Doctor Zhang for making the trip so late at night, Jiang Yingli asked Qiuxia to give Doctor Zhang a reward.
Just as Doctor Zhang was about to decline, he heard His Majesty say calmly, "This is a reward from Empress Chongyi, so take it."
Doctor Zhang accepted it without hesitation.
"Thank you very much for your reward, Your Majesty. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave now."
After staring at Doctor Zhang all the way out of the hall, Jiang Yingli finally threw herself into Xiao Chenglan's arms and acted coquettishly without any scruples.
"Your Majesty, I miss you so much~"
Xiao Chenglan gently scratched her face with his knuckles and asked slowly, "How much do you miss me?"
Jiang Yingli didn't know how to describe it. "I miss you so much that I can't even eat or drink."
Although Xiao Chenglan was very happy after hearing this, he still couldn't help but remind her: "Eat well."
"I know." Jiang Yingli huddled in his arms, rubbing against him.
The smile on Xiao Chenglan's lips deepened. After she had rubbed him enough, he slowly said, "Okay, it's time to get up. I need to change clothes."
Jiang Yingli's hair was disheveled, and she looked like a kitten with its fur standing on end. She came out of Xiao Chenglan's arms, bit her lip, smiled, and held his hand.
Xiao Chenglan's eyes dimmed instantly.
Jiang Yingli is so clingy today.
I like it very much.
But she hasn't been like this for a long time.
Ever since entering the palace, she has been well-behaved and cautious. Even if she didn't deliberately distance herself from him, she made him feel that he was being neglected.
She felt sad when she saw him walking with Concubine Shen today, and so did he.
She first changed her temper and saved Zheng Baolin time and again, then became so close to Song Zhaoyi, and yet...
The more he thought about it, the ripples of emotion in Xiao Chenglan's heart were replaced by a sense of resentment.
"Hey!" Jiang Yingli exclaimed in surprise when Xiao Chenglan suddenly picked her up by the waist.
Before she could react, she was placed on the couch.
The dense and fine kisses fell all the way down, with a burning breath and eager possessiveness, and Jiang Yingli almost couldn't breathe.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
"Jiang Yingli, tell me, where were you crying today?"
Jiang Yingli was so dizzy from the kiss that she didn't react for a moment and subconsciously asked, "What?"
"Before you met me, you were with Concubine Song. In other words, you cried in front of her today, or..."
Xiao Chenglan's tone deepened again, and his eyes were fixed on Jiang Yingli's face.
"Or did you cry in her arms?"
Such harsh interrogation made Jiang Yingli couldn't help but shrink back, but she was still held between Xiao Chenglan's legs.
He grasped her slender ankles and easily pulled her back under him.
"That's true, isn't it?"
Jiang Yingli's voice trembled slightly. "...No, I wasn't in her arms. It was just that I was sad, and Concubine Song Zhaoyi patted my shoulder and said a few words of comfort..."
"Jiang Yingli, you lied to me twice today to protect Concubine Song."
This sentence is like saying that she is not obedient.
Jiang Yingli frantically grabbed his collar and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, I did cry in Concubine Song's arms..."
The gloom in Xiao Chenglan's eyes could not be dispelled. He stroked Jiang Yingli's face back and forth, his movements were gentle, but his tone was extremely paranoid.
"How can you cry in someone else's arms?"
Jiang Yingli's waist trembled. Although she knew why Xiao Chenglan did this, her tone was still a little confused.
"But Your Majesty...Song Zhaoyi, she is a woman."
"What's wrong with being a woman? There's no difference between men and women." Xiao Chenglan slowly leaned towards her, "Everyone other than you and me is just outsiders."
Jiang Yingli was slightly stunned.
Everyone except her and His Majesty is a bystander...
If Your Majesty thinks so, does it mean that others are simply insignificant in Your Majesty's eyes?
Jiang Yingli now thought of Concubine Song, Concubine Shen, and Concubine Xin, and suddenly she didn't feel sad anymore.
Moreover, His Majesty has actually become jealous...
In the past, in the palace, there were only her and His Majesty, and they only had each other, so jealousy would never arise.
This experience was very novel to Jiang Yingli, and she even felt very excited.
She huddled in the quilt, reached out and poked Xiao Chenglan's exposed chest, her eyes filled with smiles, charming and charming.
"Your Majesty is jealous, humph——wu..."
Xiao Chenglan stared at her with his dark eyes, "Are you so complacent, huh?"
Jiang Yingli couldn't control her tears, she became completely calm, took a deep breath and shook her head.
"I'm just jealous..." There was an lingering stubbornness in Xiao Chenglan's eyes. He continued to peck and kiss Jiang Yingli from her eyebrows to her eyes, and finally bit her shoulder lightly. Every movement was full of possessiveness.
"But come to think of it, how could you like them? You only like me, don't you?"
Xiao Chenglan spoke slowly, with an inexplicable charm that made Jiang Yingli unable to help but repeat himself.
"I don't like them, I only like Your Majesty." Jiang Yingli murmured.
Xiao Chenglan curled the corners of his lips and rubbed the top of her head, "I don't like them either, so don't be sad for others besides you and me in the future."
Jiang Yingli nodded, placing her palm on his face which was covered with a thin layer of sweat, her eyes clear and soft, filled with deep fascination.
"Okay, I'm not sad anymore, and I won't cry in someone else's arms anymore."
"Good baby..." Xiao Chenglan sighed.
…
That night, Jiang Yingli cried bitterly.
Xiao Chenglan looked at the pillow stained with tears and was so jealous that he wanted to pick her up and let her tears fall on his chest.
He slowly and leisurely stroked Jiang Yingli's wrist, his voice gentle, yet with a tone that left no room for argument.
"Jiang Yingli, from now on, your tears will only fall on my dragon robe."
Jiang Yingli had been unconscious for a long time. It took her a while before she remembered to reply, her voice trembling.
"But, but, Your Majesty is not wearing a dragon robe now..."
Xiao Chenglan looked up at her, amused by her cute and naive appearance and words. The paranoia in his eyes dissipated a lot, and his expression became naughty and playful.
"It would be better if it fell on my chest."
