Chapter 160 The Child Problem Solved
If you ignore the issue of mobile games, life in Xuanying Palace is perfect.
——Things like washing machines, vacuum cleaners, and flush toilets will hardly have any impact given the large amount of manpower available to the privileged class.
So apart from occasionally being dazed and then suddenly feeling a little bored when she came back to her senses, Suzuki Sonoko actually didn't have much difficulty adapting.
If she hadn't remembered her last name, she might have forgotten about going back.
Of course, if this kind of life goes on for too long, people will easily become useless.
So she still has to go out and play.
Hunting, sightseeing, listening to music, shopping.
——Why do you feel less and less like going back the more you talk about it?
Perhaps because she had been living a decadent life, when she woke up early in the morning, she squatted on the bed for a long time before she came to her senses.
The breakfast was delicious, but after she calmed down from the excitement, although her stomach was full, she always felt like something was missing when she bit her chopsticks.
This morning was relatively free, so Prince Yan set up his posture again, ready to continue his previous painting work.
Suzuki Sonoko wore a bright red robe and enthusiastically served as a model for him.
The painting location was a pavilion. A light mist was rising from the water surface, and the nose was filled with the light fragrance of lotus flowers. Suzuki Sonoko leaned against a pillar in a daze. When one foot hung down, it was just touching the water surface. In a few seconds, he kicked off his shoe and fell into the water.
It's still very strange...
There's no stiffness or pain anywhere in the garden, but I just can't help but want to move around. I haven't done this kind of work for a long time, and my body feels unfamiliar.
——It’s not that I’m unfamiliar with being painted, but that I’m unfamiliar with being looked at in that way.
In the end, she felt like she was going to be sick. She had this strange panic feeling where she didn't know where to put her hands or where to look.
At this moment, Naotaka Komatsu seemed to be equipped with the template of a class teacher. His field of vision covered an unusually large range. Wherever he looked, that sense of substance would shift there.
In the cool season, Suzuki Sonoko showed him the symptoms of heat stroke.
I felt dizzy, weak in my limbs, and had some sweats.
I feel like everyone is being looked down upon...
With a light "click" sound, as if something was thrown to the ground, hazy footsteps slowly approached.
Yuanzi felt a shadow falling and breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally finished the painting...
As the sound of clothes rubbing against each other disappeared, a warm palm slowly touched her cheek. As her skin rubbed, the shadow covering her head slowly leaned down, and a soft touch fell on her earlobe.
She naturally tilted her head, rubbed her forehead against the man's head, and asked in a soft voice:
"Are you finished?"
Shanglong said not yet.
The man's voice was right beside his ear, and his breath was warm and moist: "But I always feel that given the situation just now, it would be a waste if I didn't kiss you first."
What does blushing and heartbeating mean?
At this moment, Suzuki Sonoko could say without any guilt that she was blushing and her heart was beating fast.
——Although I still have doubts about my reproductive system, judging from her current reaction, there is definitely no problem with her sexual ability.
The girl raised her hands to hold the man's head in her arms, and combed his hair naturally. She only felt that the weather was sunny and the years were peaceful.
But she seemed to have forgotten something...
Lunch is better than breakfast.
Suzuki Sonoko was not full this time, but she couldn't help but bite her chopsticks.
What on earth did she forget?
She held this doubt until dinner, when she remembered it.
——Where's Akashi-kun!?
=====
Akashi-kun didn't go to jail.
In the Twelve Kingdoms, prisons are a very serious matter. When suspects whose immortal status has not yet been revoked are being held, the prison scene is extremely fantastical.
Although Akashi was a seafarer, he knew the languages of twelve countries from the very beginning, and his first suspicion was Taiguo.
Fetal fruits are not common, and most of them have royal aura, and it is easy for them to go down in history after becoming kings - so from the beginning, although Akashi was "caught", he was treated quite friendly in all aspects.
But the inspection results don’t match.
Akashi Seijuro is someone who [will never struggle to the death in a situation that has already become a foregone conclusion] - rather than looking ugly and losing his composure, he chooses to maintain his self-esteem to the greatest extent possible.
He would answer whatever was asked, and if he encountered something he didn't want to talk about, he would just remain silent.
Apart from the blood curse that concealed his family lineage and concealed the fact of the field, the only miraculous thing before he arrived in this world was that he was carried by the sick Suzuki Sonoko and flew for several thousand meters.
Oh, one more thing.
——He once bit her and inevitably swallowed her blood.
"As to whether this is the reason, I don't know myself."
After saying this, it seemed that no one came to him anymore: the blame was put on the queen, and these people couldn't suck Suzuki Sonoko's blood, so the matter was left unresolved, right?
But in any case, the building where he was imprisoned (probably part of a palace) had much better infrastructure than the shack. It was difficult for him to eat a pigeon before, but now, although he was physically restricted - in fact, living in the shack area was almost the same as being physically restricted - his nutrition was surprisingly very balanced!
Besides being a bit annoying being watched.
Akashi Seijuro once thought that these people looked at the sea visitors in the same way as they looked at monkeys in a zoo. Later, after learning that many of the technologies here were brought by mountain visitors and sea visitors, he thought that they might be treating the sea visitors as saints and prophets.
As a result, the eyes of the onlookers were stuck between the two.
They treated him like a magical creature.
The specific mental journey can be roughly divided into the following three types:
[This is the man that could be favored by Shengshi Daji! ]
[This is the man who almost (and probably already has) cheated on their king!]
【What kind of man is this! 】
Akashi felt that if he hadn't been so imposing since childhood and hadn't put on a cold face, those palace maids squatting in the corner and peeking in (to be honest, they were quite pretty) would even put the microphone in his mouth like professional paparazzi, with sparkling eyes, and ask questions:
What kind of life experience is it to have been in love with a woman like that?
——Shut up, no, I don’t know.
Apart from that, I'm just too bored.
During his free time, Akashi even dug out the exact full name of "Nakajima Yoko" from the depths of his mind.
The king and his ministers of Yan State probably don't like him very much.
——I just don’t know whether their dislike for him means they want to [throw him back to the modern era as soon as possible, away from his queen], or [simply throw him aside and drag him to suffer for the rest of his life without being able to return home]
So Akashi-kun seriously planned to run away from home (not
He thought about digging a hole at the foot of the wall and finding a way to find Yoko Nakajima.
Judging from his appearance, he seems to be a gentle person by nature. Based on the relationship between us, I probably wouldn't mind helping him out.
Just as Akashi was calculating the angle of the tunnel, Suzuki Sonoko arrived.
She was wearing a soft and gorgeous royal blue robe, with tiny gold ornaments on her head hanging down to her waist like a curtain, and she had a very guilty look on her face:
【I’m so sorry, I actually forgot about you for several days】
"Someone", that is, Akashi-kun, clearly read these words from Miss Suzuki's face.
——How come it’s easier to understand now than when I first saw it?
He thought about it again and realized that it was true.
People are trained. Once they are pampered without any worries, they will probably become like this soon.
What's more, Suzuki Sonoko...
Akashi glanced coldly at the girl in front of him and said, "You are not a -" He paused and changed the word: not a good thing.
Then he looked away calmly.
Over there, Miss Suzuki, who had no idea how awkward Akashi-kun had been, tentatively cleared her throat and asked, "Akashi-kun, are you... okay?"
Akashi sneered.
"Thanks to you, I'm fine."
This is actually the truth, but that sneer is really creepy.
Sonoko immediately denied it and argued, "You made up that elopement story from beginning to end—didn't you just shoot yourself in the foot?"
Akashi's face darkened instantly.
"That really wronged you."
As soon as the voice came out, the hairs on Liang Yuanzi's back stood up, and he quickly said no, no.
"Thank you for carrying me with you. It was all my fault in the first place. I'm making up for it now!"
She made a ridiculous "dangdangdang" sound effect, stepped aside, revealing the blond boy behind her, and spread her hands: "Remember what I said, Akashi-kun, you can go back!"
Akashi let out a small "tsk".
Rokuta's face was even uglier than his, with impatience mixed with lingering sleepiness.
Suzuki Sonoko felt bad and poked him in the ribs, her movements ranging from covert to blatant.
It's still different...
Akashi was not sure whether his mental state was slowly recovering because he had come into contact with enough humans, or was deteriorating due to the further alienation of the environment. Even though everyone around him had returned to color, Suzuki Sonoko was still the most eye-catching one.
The saturation was so strong that it made him feel like vomiting.
——Should we say it’s a change in attitude or something else, she might have a death buff like retribution, she might be annoying and unreliable, or she might be filled with fear but want to protect him.
But now the woman in front of him.
This woman, who could still be identified at a glance as Suzuki Sonoko, had not undergone any fundamental changes in appearance or personality. In his eyes, she had never been so clear before, like a flower.
What is decorated is simply beautiful.
The Lord's—
--flower.
It is elegant and luxurious, and completely an eyesore.
Akashi Seijuro calmly suppressed his disgust.
After all, if you look closely, there is no difference at all.
Suzuki Sonoko's willfulness was instilled by her family. The ones who spoiled her into this kind of evil behavior were Suzuki Shiro, Suzuki Tomoko and Suzuki Jirokichi.
Obviously her personality remained the same as before, but after knowing that the person helping her maintain this grace had become a man, this evil behavior that she should have been accustomed to became like a layer of pungent rose-red fuel, becoming a visual pollution.
"Aren't you going back to get married?"
I don't know what was going on in his mind, but when he came to his senses, he asked this question naturally.
They could have gone back already, and it would have been fine without saying anything. In any case, leaving was the most important thing. Akashi thought, King Shanglong had people "arrest" him even for a scandal, so what would be the consequences now that such a thing was exposed?
There are no consequences.
Suzuki Sonoko replied calmly, "Maybe we'll have to wait a while."
She thought for a moment and added, "But please, when Akashi-kun gets back, please make a phone call for me."
After that, she handed over a piece of paper with a number written on it.
"Once the call is connected, there's no need to give your name or give an excuse. Just tell the person on the other end that you're busy—I mean, say, 'Suzuki Sonoko is busy lately'—and they'll naturally understand."
Not only do they understand, but after ensuring her safety, people like Yuzhuta will also help create a perfect illusion to prevent her family from continuing to worry about her.
"Thank you so much!"
After putting the pick into someone else's hand without permission, he belatedly thanked me.
Akashi made an almost inaudible "tsk" sound, stared at the note for a long time, then raised his eyes and stared at her for even longer.
Just when Suzuki Sonoko felt that her face was about to freeze and she could no longer maintain her smile, the red-haired boy calmly curled his lips.
"You're welcome."
He heard himself say this.
The tone is flat and the pronunciation of words is clear.
——It was as if he didn’t feel anything strange in his heart.
It seems that erosion must rely on water. The place where Liu Tai created the erosion is a large lake that looks vast at first glance, but upon closer examination, you can find traces of human activity.
It is part of the palace building, and the three pavilions in the center form a circle.
The road is not far but you still have to walk for a while. There are not many people along the way.
As a result, within five minutes of walking, the first person who accidentally ran into him immediately ran back to spread the gossip, so that the crowd who heard the news and came to watch the excitement instantly formed a vast ocean.
Even the whispers became deafening due to the sheer number of people (…).
Akashi Seijuro was actually feeling curious at this moment.
——Given the degree of distortion in the rumors about Suzuki Sonoko, what kind of image will he appear in folk tales in the future of this world?
Not to mention the future, what kind of image does he have in the eyes of these people now?
After all, he was the one who was rumored to have cheated on the king.
These people... probably thought he was going to be thrown into the lake and drowned?
Prince Yan was not a tyrannical monarch, but when it came to that famous witch, it was normal for the king, who was famous in history for his love affair, to do anything out of jealousy, right?
It wasn't that Akashi thought so on his own - he saw such a worried expression on the face of a little palace maid behind the pillar.
Fortunately, Yan Qi had been waiting by the lake for a long time, and the surrounding area was also controlled, so the onlookers could not follow directly.
He walked to the water's edge and without hesitation, jumped into the black hole.
——There’s no one to even say goodbye to.
The "subject" himself was staring at a big tree at this moment.
Suzuki Sonoko was completely amazed. "I know that children are born from li trees, but this tree doesn't look like an ordinary li tree..."
"Of course."
"This is called Lu Mu," Komatsu explained. "It's a sacred tree that only the king can use to give birth to offspring."
Suzuki Sonoko was really amazed. In fact, she had a strong desire to study the tree that could give birth to children. Coupled with the attribute of "exclusive to the king", which was full of privileges, although it looked only a little taller than Riki, its height seemed very unique!
But: "Why did you suddenly bring me to see this?"
——The weather has turned cold recently. Although she is not afraid of the cold, this is her biological habit. When the weather gets cold, she wants to squat in the quilt and not come out.
Komatsu Naotaka was taking out his sleeves at the moment. He only raised his head when he heard her words. After a long time, he finally sorted out the fabric of the cuffs, pulled out a ribbon, and handed it to Suzuki Sonoko.
"Um?"
Shang Long was amused by her bewildered face and asked, "Why don't you answer it? Doesn't Yuanzi know how babies are born?"
Yuanzi held the ribbon in her hand and said blankly, "I know." "Husband and wife tie ribbons on tree branches and pray together. Ten months and ten days later, they cut open the fruit growing on the branches..."
The further she spoke, the softer her voice became, and the brighter her eyes became.
Shang Long then laughed: "Have you figured it out?"
Suzuki Sonoko nodded frantically!
The handsome man held a ribbon between his fingers, took her hand and walked towards the tree. "Now that you've figured it out, come quickly. Aren't you the one who's worried about having offspring?"
I was so worried that I even stopped eating one bite at a time for dinner.
Before he finished speaking, the ribbon was already flying on the branch.
——After all, it’s just tying a slipknot, five seconds is already long.
So after I finished tying the fruit in the garden, I didn't feel any sense of reality at all. When I imagined what the fruit looked like, I felt like I was walking on cotton.
I have a child...
"I'm going to have a child?"
Shang Long: "What else?"
"ah."
Suzuki Sonoko only uttered this meaningless cry.
The next second, Miss Suzuki, who had suddenly let go of the burden in her heart, finally regained her sense of reality. A magical expression slowly appeared on her face, from [generally happy.jpg] to [extremely excited.jpg], and then she began to jump on the spot.
"Very good!"
Her voice was so happy that it twisted to the sky: "Now I just have to wait for the wedding to be over and Emiya Kiritsugu to start work, and then all my troubles will be dealt with!"
Naotaka Komatsu:......
Komatsu Naotaka: "What wedding? Who is Emiya Kiritsugu?"
Suzuki Sonoko: ...
Suzuki Sonoko: "Listen to my explanation."
Shang Long tilted his head and smiled: "You talk, I'm listening."
Yuanzi explained.
From her infertile father to her family in urgent need of inheritance, in order to verify the authenticity, she listed all the ex-fiancés she had interviewed in detail.
Finally, he demonstrated Emiya Kiritsugu's superiority in the world of marrying into the wife's family from three aspects, and told the other party the approximate date of the wedding.
Shang Long: "Are you done?"
Sonoko: "It's over."
Miss Suzuki, who still didn't know what happened while she was unconscious, didn't know that according to the routine that Akashi-kun had experienced before, the next step would be for the king to call someone to arrest her!
However, the objects are different after all.
So Shang Long sighed curiously for a long time - seeing that she seemed very nervous and was about to get scared - he finally relaxed after repeating meaningfully, "Just a legal worker?"
"That's understandable, I guess."
Actually, everyone is not very clean. In order to recruit talents, he often went to the red-light district...
So, after thinking about something, he actually asked quite seriously, "Can I be a best man?"
"Did Sonoko say we need a best man for the wedding?"
Sonoko: ...Stop it.
Even if it was in name only, the scale of her wedding must be worthy of the Suzuki family name. Even if the wedding itself would be smaller in scale because of the groom's identity as a wanted criminal - that was just a relaxation for the oath-taking ceremony, and not so many people would be invited to watch the ceremony. After that, there would definitely be another dinner party.
That is a proper social occasion, and everyone who should be invited should be invited. In other words, since everyone is in the same class, the appearance of the "ex-fiancé table" at the wedding banquet has become inevitable.
But the fact that my ex-fiancé was able to put together a banquet was already embarrassing enough, and I even asked my ex-husband to be my best man...
She was unable to accept this kind of behavior.
——But it’s really nice not to have to worry about having children!
After that, Ai Seiko could stop working completely, marry Emiya Kiritsugu, and her job at the chaebol was taken over by legal workers. Suddenly, her life became smooth sailing!
Thinking about it this way, getting married is like the last difficult hurdle in life, or a not-so-difficult one...
"Ah," Miss Suzuki said sincerely, "I can't wait to get married..."
Shang Long said, “That’s right.”
He didn't think anything was wrong.
If it were him, and if there was still a Komatsu Castle in Japan that needed him to inherit, his mentality and pressure would probably be not much different from Sonoko's.
It’s better to get married early, because someone will take care of the work and you can rest assured about the family business.
As for what happens next...
Prince Yan looked at the treetops that had not changed at all: When this guy grows up to an age where he can take responsibility, the garden can be completely relieved.
What's the point of talking about inheriting the throne? The succession of the thrones of the Twelve Kingdoms is only related to the royal aura. Rather than inheriting his title of a wise king who will enjoy freedom for who knows how many years, it would be better for him to inherit his mother's throne.
Then, we can be together forever.
He yawned, rubbed the side of the girl's neck who was still excited, and thought: Please let me live a normal married life.
The author has something to say: Ah, Shang Long's role is completed, and Sonoko will have a child in ten months.
It’s okay that giving birth to a child is so painful in real life, but I’d rather write a Su Wen story and let the heroine avoid it.
Next, go back and get married, the end of blind dates!
