After returning home, Emperor Wen Qing asked him to rest at home and return to court after a month, under the pretext of letting him spend more time with his wife and not overwork himself.
Qin Xuanzhi accepted this well, as it was exactly what he wanted.
He was worried that he had too little time to develop his relationship with his wife.
Tang Wan asked him, "Aren't you angry?"
"It's such a good thing to be able to accompany my wife. Why are you angry?"
Tang Wan's eyelashes trembled, and she hesitated for a long time, but in the end, she said nothing.
During this month, Qin Xuanzhi took her out to play all day long, riding horses in the woods and hunting in the mountains.
The two of them also went to the temple to hang a love knot. Her shoes and socks were wet by the rain, and Qin Xuanzhi kept nagging her about why she had to wear such non-waterproof shoes when she went out.
At the same time, I felt guilty because I didn't check the almanac before going out today. The weather was not good and we both got soaked.
At night, the two of them stayed in the Zen room. Tang Wan's feet were cold and couldn't be warmed up no matter how hard she tried, so Qin Xuanzhi placed her feet on his abdomen.
She was so frightened by the sudden chill that she said faintly, "I'll definitely ask the court doctor to give you some nourishment when I get back. You're physically weak."
Tang Wan was annoyed and slapped him in the face: "You've squeezed me dry."
The slap sounded loud, but it actually had no power. Anyway, Qin Xuanzhi enjoyed it.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault. Madam, please don't be angry with me. Put your foot back, dear."
Only then did Tang Wan reluctantly stretch her foot back.
She touched her belly and her eyes softened a little. In a few days, she would be able to tell Xuanzhi the good news.
...............
"What?!"
Qin Xuanzhi's eyes were instantly filled with joy. He stared at her belly without blinking. He wanted to reach out and touch it, but he was afraid that he would be too heavy-handed and hurt her body.
"Wanwan, I, do we really have a child?"
Tang Wan pinched his handsome face and said, "What good would it do me to lie to you? If you don't believe me, you can just find a few more doctors to check my pulse one by one."
"No need, what the lady said is of course true."
But then, Qin Xuanzhi immediately remembered the crazy things the two of them had done in the past month. He also remembered that when they were riding horses before, she was more than a month pregnant, so she should have been pregnant by then.
"Is the baby in your belly okay after all that bumpy ride?" There was a hint of anxiety in his voice.
"Of course it's okay. Our child is so lucky. After all this trouble, he should just stay in my belly."
Qin Xuanzhi looked at her gentle expression, and his heart softened a little. Then he remembered something more important: "I heard that women will experience discomfort during pregnancy. Are you feeling any discomfort?"
"If you feel uncomfortable, you must speak up. If you can relieve it, try to do so. If you can't, you can hit me to vent your anger. As long as you are happy, it's fine."
Tang Wan looked at the incoherent and stammering man in front of her. Tears welled up in her eyes for some reason. She heard herself say, "Fool."
"It's okay to be a fool, as long as it makes the lady happy."
..............
After Tang Wan became pregnant, she liked to listen to the sound of rain hitting the bamboo forest, so Qin Xuanzhi planted a small courtyard full of bamboo.
Just so that she could fall asleep listening to the sound of rain on rainy days, he transplanted a bamboo forest all by himself without any help from others.
The servants in the mansion were all amazed when they saw this and could not help but sigh at her good fortune, but Tang Wan did not comment on it.
Qin Xuanzhi was indeed too good to her, and he wanted to feed her three meals a day.
He was even reluctant to say a harsh word to her. Whenever she was annoyed or tired, she could always hear his gentle voice of comfort.
She is pregnant and can't do certain things, but that doesn't mean she doesn't want to.
He was so shameless that he used his lips and tongue to make her feel comfortable. Although her hands suffered a lot, it was still enough to shock her.
On the other hand, Princess Qinyang had been imprisoned for more than a month and had become extremely impatient.
She beat to death five or six of the concubines in the mansion. They were all tortured to death. The reason was very simple.
It's just that this one has gained some weight, that one's waist is not thin enough, and that one looks too effeminate and not masculine enough.
When it comes to people with muscles, she would say that they are as strong as bulls and it makes her feel sick to see them.
In fact, most of these people suffer from unprovoked misfortunes.
What she wants most now is Qin Xuanzhi.
So I just don't like other people.
Because in this world, no one can compare to him in terms of appearance, martial arts, morality, and character.
Moreover, he had a cold and immortal look, but there were three small moles on his face, just like an immortal fallen into the mortal world.
How could anyone not like him? Besides, although his appearance had fallen into the mortal world, he was not.
She just likes to pull down the beautiful women from the altar, and she likes the arrogant people the most, who bend their proud bones to beg her.
She wrote a letter to Emperor Wenqing for the sixteenth time.
"Royal brother, I am very grateful to you for writing to me. In recent days, Qinyang has come to realize that he has been so naughty in the past, bringing shame to the royal family and causing a lot of trouble for you."
"This month of reflection has made my sister deeply aware of the responsibilities a princess should shoulder. I will definitely not evade them from now on."
"Please give me a chance, my royal brother, so that I can reform and atone for my sins."
After thinking about it, she added another paragraph of pitiful words at the end.
"Royal brother, Qinyang knows that you have loved me sincerely since childhood. You would never bear to see me suffer. This is just a small punishment. Royal brother, Qinyang has been very uncomfortable over the past month. Please forgive me, Royal brother."
When Emperor Wen Qing saw this letter, he couldn't help feeling complicated.
He only has this one sister, who has been raised in the palm of his hand. From childhood to adulthood, let alone being grounded for a month, he has never even said a harsh word to her.
But she had made such a big mistake, and if she wasn't punished, her aunt wouldn't let it go easily. If her reputation was ruined, it would be difficult for her to find a good husband.
He thought back to those days in the past when he and his sister were not treated well. Not to mention being treated like princes and princesses, they were even worse than servants and could not even get enough to eat.
Even though his sister herself was not full, she still stubbornly gave him the last steamed bun. Even when she was so hungry that her eyes were filled with tears, she still said that she was not hungry.
Thinking of this, he felt a little soft-hearted again.
She has been lively and active since she was a child. She never wants to stop for a moment and always loves to run around and play.
I think about the past month or so, I have been really frustrated and realized my mistake.
Those letters in the past were full of angry words, but now I know I was wrong.
He was not a cold-hearted person and was extremely tolerant towards his sister. After thinking about it, he summoned her into the palace and planned to have a good talk with her.
