He took a deep breath, suppressed his inner tension, and smiled gently at Zhu Wuhuan, "The third-day bathing ceremony is almost over. Queen, you are still in confinement after childbirth. You need to go back and rest."
He tentatively reached out to pull her wrist, "I'll carry you back, okay?"
Zhu Wuhuan glanced at the hand he extended, smiled at him, and thought to herself, "You don't want your claws anymore, huh? Try touching me!"
"..." Feng Changye silently retracted his "claws" and turned to pick up the teacup on the small table next to him, drinking tea silently, trying to make himself appear less embarrassed.
He looked into the distance, feeling panic-stricken.
What should he do? He couldn't coax his queen anymore. Was he going to be abandoned? Was he going to become a lonely man...
The civil and military officials had no idea what was happening between the emperor and the empress.
They watched the little prince and princess's third-day baptism ceremony with satisfaction, and then happily came forward to congratulate them.
Each person spoke a word, and no word of praise was repeated.
It was nothing more than praising the little prince for his lovely appearance, intelligence and wisdom, and his determination to achieve great things.
The little princess is born with exquisite features and looks like a noble lady. In the future, she will definitely be the most graceful and luxurious princess and the most eye-catching pearl of the Daning Dynasty.
They took turns to come forward and praise, and Feng Changye and Zhu Wuhuan, the two parents, listened with a smile, and asked Xiao Yuanzi and Suqiu behind them to distribute the baby laundering money to the ministers.
The money given by the emperor and empress for child washing was naturally not copper coins, but beautiful jade beads made of transparent jade.
The officials who received the jade pendant were all beaming with joy, holding it tightly in their palms, intending to enshrine it and keep it as a family heirloom!
This is the baby bath money given by the current emperor and the current empress. It is the return gift for the next generation emperor’s third birthday when he is a child. How commemorative!
Afterwards, all the officials were taken to a banquet by Suqiu, accompanied by the Zhu family and the royal princesses and their husbands, who smiled and accompanied them.
The two children were taken back to the warm room by their wet nurse. The empress dowager wanted to follow her "Long'er" closely, so Feng Changye had no choice but to ask Xiao Yuanzi to accompany the empress dowager.
As for Feng Changye and Zhu Wuhuan...
The two are now sitting in the delivery room.
In the past, one of them would lie on the bed while the other would sit on the edge, and they were very close. Now, Zhu Wuhuan was still lying on the bed, but Feng Changye no longer had the right to sit on the edge of her bed.
He sat silently at the table ten feet away, looking at Zhu Wuhuan silently.
"The Queen..."
He had just shouted when he was interrupted by Zhu Wuhuan with a sneer.
Zhu Wuhuan fiddled with his hair and said lazily, "What's the point of calling me Queen? Who is your Queen? Don't make the mistake. The wife you married is not me. I came from a thousand years ago. I don't know you well. The only thing I'm familiar with is your skull—"
She looked at him coldly from the side, "With your mind-reading ability, shouldn't you have known all this long ago?"
Feng Changye looked at his queen silently and shut his mouth timidly.
Alas, probably all men who make their wives angry look cowardly, and the emperor is no exception.
His heart felt numb.
He was now afraid when he saw the queen's ambiguous and neither cold nor indifferent look.
He picked up the teacup on the table and poured half a cup of water into it. Then, holding the cup, he slowly walked to the bedside and carefully handed it to Zhu Wuhuan, "Have a drink of water?"
Zhu Wuhuan glanced at him and said, "No, how could I dare drink the water you personally brought me? You've listened to me cursing the tyrant in my heart every day. Tsk, you've been wanting to kill me for a long time now. Now that the truth has been revealed, I'm so scared that you'll poison me. If I drink the water you brought me, am I courting death?"
Feng Changye looked at her secretly.
He didn't know why, but looking at the queen's weird look, he actually found her so cute.
He might really be beyond saving.
He fell for this woman named Zhu Wuhuan.
Since he has already admitted his mistake, there is nothing wrong with him temporarily putting aside his imperial dignity and making a sincere apology to please others, right?
So he slowly squatted down beside the bed and put the cup of water on his head, as if he was punishing himself.
"Queen, I apologize to you. I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept it from you for so long."
"I know you're very angry now. You suddenly realized that all your inner thoughts were exposed to someone else every day without your knowledge. You suddenly realized that you have been like a transparent person with no privacy for such a long time. Anyone would feel embarrassed, awkward and irritable if they were in this situation—"
"I understand why you're so annoyed by me right now, and you want to kick me to the ground. I guess you even feel like I've been playing you around like a fool for the past nine months, that I don't love you at all, I just want to use you..."
He raised his eyes to look at Zhu Wuhuan, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
"But I can swear to heaven that my feelings for you are real. I truly love you. Zhu Wuhuan, please believe me, okay?"
"I admit, when you first traveled here, I knew you came from a thousand years later, was familiar with Daning's history, and knew you had a powerful system. I did think about using you."
"But, at that time, I didn't know that I would fall in love with you."
"If I had known from the beginning that I would be attracted to you, I would never have had any intention of using you, and I would not have hidden anything from you."
"By the time I realized I was in love with you, I had already used my mind-reading skills to get a lot of information out of you. I even knew you wanted to kill me and become the queen. Tell me, in this situation, how can I tell you? I know your identity, and I know you want to kill me?"
"Especially, when I fell in love with you, you didn't love me at all. If I confessed to you that I could read minds, are you sure you wouldn't just kill me with a knife?"
"So I tried so hard to make you fall in love with me. I thought that when you fell in love with me and couldn't leave me, I would be able to confess to you..."
"But when you fell in love with me, I found out I was wrong."
"After enjoying the happiness of being in love with you, I no longer dare to confess to you at the risk of losing you."
"When I think about you leaving me with the child in a rage after I confess to you, I'm terrified. I can't bear the pain of losing you. You've made me happy and sweet, and now I'm alone again, returning to the loneliness I was at the beginning. How can I bear it?"
As he said this, tears welled up in his eyes.
He looked up at Zhu Wuhuan.
Zhu Wuhuan lowered his eyes with an indifferent expression.
He tried to grab Zhu Wuhuan's hand, but Zhu Wuhuan raised his hand and dodged him.
He grabbed nothing, and his slender fingers could only silently clutch the mattress, and he looked even more sad.
