Spring of the second year of Yuanfeng.
Chang'an Avenue was bustling with people and activity. Red lanterns were hung along the street and every pedestrian was smiling.
A man who had just arrived here, holding his wife and children, was lost in thought as he watched all this unfold. He grabbed a person nearby and asked, "Why are you all smiling so happily? What's the good news?"
The vendor smiled and looked at the three dusty people: "Is this your first time here?"
The man nodded, and the vendor laughed heartily, "No wonder! Two days ago, news came from the palace that His Majesty has diagnosed pregnancy. We're going to have a little prince!"
The vendor looked him up and down. "This gentleman looks quite good. Could you please tell me your name?"
The man shook his head and left with his wife and children: "A nameless person is not worth mentioning."
Away from this street, it was still bustling, with people's homes and government offices all celebrating with joy.
In just two years, the entire capital was transformed, and the people were thriving and full of hope for the future. This was a testament to the Empress's skill.
The wife couldn't help but clutched the man's sleeve: "Husband."
The man stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"
The wife bit her lower lip, frowning in confusion: "Your Majesty...will you kill me and the child?"
The eleven-year-old boy stared at his father with wide eyes in fear. Would His Majesty kill him and his mother? After all, they...
The man shook his head, a reassuring smile on his resolute face: "Don't worry, His Majesty is not an unreasonable person. He won't attack us just because of your status. You haven't done anything bad!"
The wife's tense face finally relaxed, and she took her husband's arm: "Okay, I believe my husband."
The man smiled, touched his son's head, took his wife and children and followed the instructions of the crowd to the Six Gates. He took out a token of his identity from his arms and walked forward.
The two guards at the door had already seen them and immediately asked with a smile, "Which faction are you from?"
When their Six Gates were first established, many people from all over the country came to visit them every day, and they were very familiar with this.
The man handed over the token: "Lu Chong, a disciple of Taichu Sect!"
The guard was surprised: "So you are the junior fellow apprentice of the Prime Minister! My apologies! Please come in."
Lu Chong smiled at his wife and led them inside.
Xihe didn't know the news until the evening.
Fang Qinglin hugged her carefully, afraid to touch her belly: "You are pregnant and it is inconvenient. I can go and see them tomorrow."
Although he is his close junior fellow apprentice, there is no need for His Majesty to meet him in person.
Xihe was quite curious about the legendary male protagonist: "Let them enter the palace. I want to see their son."
Fang Qinglin said helplessly: "Okay, but you are not allowed to overwork yourself, and tell me if you feel uncomfortable."
Xihe rolled his eyes at him and said, "How can I be so delicate? I am a master-level expert after all, so jumping around is not a problem, okay?"
Fang Qinglin's face instantly darkened: "No! What if she gets hurt? Let's wait for three months." He carefully touched her flat belly. Inside was his flesh and blood, and his heart softened instantly.
"You're still young, so please be patient, okay? I won't restrain you in the future."
He pleaded in such a low voice, what could Xihe say? She leaned lazily in his arms and raised her chin: "I want to eat grapes."
Fang Qinglin picked a grape for her. The flesh was crystal clear and tasted sour and sweet.
In fact, Xihe knew that he was very nervous about the child. After all, they had been married for many years and had no children.
This man has always loved her and obeyed her in everything. He accompanies her in whatever she wants to do and never stops her. He never criticizes her for not having children. When others ask her about it, he just tells her to take things as they come.
Xi He put her cheek against his neck and said, "Fang Qinglin, have you been waiting for this child for a long time?"
Fang Qinglin was startled, then noticed her emotions. He gently held her face and said seriously, "I have waited for a long time. But it doesn't matter if I don't have any. I just want you."
Xihe blinked his eyes, and his clean and open face was reflected in his pupils.
He said, "My lady, I want you most."
Xihe said proudly: "Then you can't live without me?"
Fang Qinglin smiled and said, "Of course, I can't live without my wife. Wherever my wife goes, I will go."
Xihe threw herself into his arms with an 'Aiya', smiling with her eyes curved: "Fang Qinglin, you are so nice."
Fang Qinglin smiled innocently: "I'm so nice, so will you listen to me?"
Xihe: "Listen!"
Fang Qinglin clenched his fist and coughed softly: "The imperial physician said that you can't have sex for the first three months. You have to endure it."
Xihe: ? ? !
She pushed him away with a red face, angry and embarrassed: "No, no, who cares about you, go away!" She crawled into the quilt. This guy was so hateful.
Fang Qinglin laughed grimly and came forward: "Come out quickly, don't get bored."
Xihe shook her head vigorously. She didn't want to pay any attention to him. She was so angry!
The next day, Xihe stayed obediently in the palace, and even the memorials were approved by Fang Qinglin and several ministers.
When the new dynasty was established, Xihe set up a cabinet, and Fang Qinglin is now the chief minister of the cabinet. At the beginning, the ministers were full of worries and even submitted memorials in private, asking her to be careful not to be deprived of power, especially by some people in the underworld.
After all, men have always been in charge of this world. Fang Qinglin is capable and is also the emperor's husband.
If you want to seize power, it is too easy as her bedmate.
However, these speculations had no effect on Xihe. She knew better than anyone that he would never betray her!
In the afternoon, after her lunch break, Fang Qinglin led Lu Chong and his wife and son to come. As expected, she was the male protagonist's biological mother. Xie Hongling was born with fair skin, beautiful appearance, and charming demeanor. She was definitely a demon cult witch.
The male protagonist is now eleven years old and looks like a young boy. He is very upright at such a young age.
