In the evening, after Ye Chen helped Shen Qiu take a bath, the two of them lay in the bed, with Ye Chen's hand on Shen Qiu's lower abdomen.
This was his first child in two lifetimes. He remembered that in his previous life, he heard Qiu'er and that person say that her biggest regret was that she didn't have a child of her own. At that time, he wanted to make up for her regret.
But he missed it, and when he wanted to turn back, Qiu'er had already closed her heart.
He still remembered the scene after he and Qiu'er had sex, when Qiu'er resolutely drank the contraceptive soup. He threatened with red eyes: "If you dare to drink it, I will make your father and brother die on the battlefield tomorrow!"
His Qiu'er didn't say a word, just looked at him with a smile and drank the bowl of contraceptive soup.
He lived for more than ten years afterwards, and never dared to recall Chen Qiu's smile, because that smile was too cold, too sad, and too resolute.
Now they finally have their own child. This time there is no harm, no threat, only the joy and happiness of the family.
Chen Qiu reached out and took Ye Chen's hand, saying, "Tell me, will it be a boy or a girl? Will it look like you or me? My husband, are you looking forward to it?"
Ye Chen looked at Chen Qiu, then stood up and sat next to Shen Qiu, lifted the quilt and lifted up Chen Qiu's shirt, then lowered his head and kissed Chen Qiu's lower abdomen.
Shen Qiu's lower abdomen tightened, and Ye Chen looked up and said: "Qiu'er, you don't have to doubt it. I have been looking forward to this child for a long time. It is our child, not mine or anyone else's."
Ye Chen lay down beside Chen Qiu and said, "Qiu'er, you are Chen Qiu, my wife, Ye Chen. I know very well that I am not giving in. I am sincerely grateful to God for giving me the opportunity to have you again. Thank you for allowing me to love you again."
Chen Qiu didn't quite understand what he meant by "possess her again"? But she could tell that Ye Chen really loved her now and knew who she was. That was enough, wasn't it?
In the golden month of August, the Mid-Autumn Festival is in this month, and the Autumn Examination will follow right after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor asked Ye Chen and Shen Qiu to enter the palace, saying that he had set up a family dinner in the Queen's Palace and that the family would have a meal together before tomorrow's state banquet.
Before Chen Qiu married into the Duke's Mansion, it was like this every year. Except for the three years of mourning for the eldest princess, there were fourteen family banquets and fifteen state banquets.
On August 14th, Ye Chen had already picked out a dress for Chen Qiu. Chen Qiu looked at the light yellow dress and said, "Shouldn't I wear palace clothes when entering the palace?"
Ye Chen said: "That's someone else, and today is the fourteenth. We are attending a family banquet, so we can do whatever we want. It's not too late to wear palace clothes tomorrow because there will be a state banquet."
"That thing is too heavy. The less I wear it, the better."
At the time of Shen, the two of them set off for the palace with Madam Hua and Xing'er.
The two entered the palace and went straight to the Queen's Yiku Palace.
When the two of them entered, the emperor and the empress were already waiting. Yi'er was playing on the floor with two little palace maids. The emperor and the empress were sitting on the couch next to them, one reading a book and the other embroidering.
If you didn’t know the identities of these people, you would think they were just an ordinary family of three.
The emperor did not tie his hair today. He only tied the hair on the top of his head with a ribbon, and the rest of his hair was draped over his back, looking very lazy.
The queen was not wearing palace clothes, and her hair was tied into a bun with a hairpin. It was truly a picture of an everyday family life.
Ye Chen helped Chen Qiu in. The emperor didn't even raise his head and waved, "Come here. I saw a good poem. Come and appreciate it."
After the emperor finished speaking, he did not wait for Ye Chen's reply, but heard a sentence: "This servant pays respects to the emperor and the empress!"
The queen put down her needlework and looked at the old man on the ground with a smile. The emperor paused and the book in his hand almost fell to the ground.
The emperor didn't look at Aunt Hua, but at Chen Qiu: "Madam Chen'er, are you pregnant?"
Chen Qiu was suspicious, wondering how the emperor knew about it. After all, the Ye family had not mentioned it to anyone for less than three months.
Although Chen Qiu was puzzled, he still bowed and said, "Your Majesty, yes, it has been more than two months!"
The queen smiled and stood up. She asked someone to help Aunt Hua up, walked to Chen Qiu and said, "We found out from what we saw, Aunt Hua."
"When the imperial sister left, she asked Madam Hua to take care of Chen'er. Madam Hua swore at that time that she would not leave Xi Garden until Chen'er's wife became pregnant. Now that I see her, I naturally know."
Chen Qiu suddenly realized what was going on. The Queen then said, "The matter that my sister is most concerned about has now been resolved. So the Emperor may have lost his composure for a moment. Please forgive me!"
Chen Qiu said: "The Queen is in a serious condition!"
The Queen smiled and said, "In this Yikun Palace, there is no Emperor or Empress, only your uncle and aunt. Today is a family dinner, and we are just relatives."
The emperor stood up and said, "Yes, today there are only relatives but no monarch or ministers!"
Ye Chen snorted and said, "I don't think you are a king." Then he clapped his hands towards Yi'er and shouted, "Yier, do you miss your brother?"
Yier immediately ran into Ye Chen's arms, and then Ye Chen held him and spun around.
The Queen hurriedly pulled Chen Qiu behind her and scolded him, "You're almost going to be a father, and you're still messing around with Yi'er. You almost kicked your wife."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen immediately put Yi'er down and ran to Chen Qiu's side. His hand naturally stroked Chen Qiu's lower abdomen and asked, "Did it hurt you?"
Chen Qiu laughed and said, "Have you forgotten that I am a martial artist? How could you hurt me so easily?"
The emperor put down the book and said to the queen, "Look, among all these people, he doesn't even see me as his uncle. Not only does he not treat me as his king, he doesn't even call me uncle."
Then he looked up and said, "Hey, sister, look at your son, he doesn't recognize me as his uncle, you..."
"Uncle" Before the emperor finished speaking, Ye Chen immediately called out, and then said: "I called out, don't accuse me to my mother anymore!"
Chen Qiu smiled teasingly, these two people are really a pair of funny people.
The queen looked at the two of them and shook her head with a smile, then asked someone to serve the meal. The family dinner that day was prepared in the small kitchen in the Yiku Palace and was not served from the imperial kitchen.
The dishes were simple, consisting of eight dishes, one soup, and one staple food, all made with the most common ingredients. Ye Chen looked at the food and said, "I knew it would be these again!"
"Can't you change the food? It's always the dishes my mother likes, and she can't eat them. If she knew, wouldn't she be heartbroken for you?"
The emperor said: "I just miss her. She was always with me when I was little. Now that I can be with her, she is gone. This is the only way I can feel that she is still there."
Ye Chen said: "Uncle, my mother has always been here. I am what she left for you. Don't dwell on the past anymore. My mother doesn't want you to be unhappy because of her!"
The emperor smiled and said, "Yes, I know!"
Chen Qiu said: "The deceased is gone. We can only let them feel at ease if we live well. I think my mother-in-law in heaven would not want to see you like this. She would be worried!"
"You and your husband are the most important people to your mother-in-law. She definitely wants you to be happy, healthy and safe! So please let it go!"
The emperor looked at Chen Qiu and suddenly understood why his nephew had changed so much!
