Chapter 538 Extra: Lu Qionghua and He Lianji (VII)
Lu Qionghua raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't you want to marry me? Are you forced by my mother to agree to marry me?"
"No. Of course I really want to marry you. I promised Concubine Shu that I would never take a concubine. Doesn't this prove my sincerity?" Helian Ji was a little depressed.
Never take a concubine?
Lu Qionghua didn't expect that he would agree to this condition.
Seeing his mood suddenly drop, Lu Qionghua realized that he seemed to have gone too far and snorted coldly: "Who said I don't want to get married."
After hearing this, Helian Ji's depressed mood improved slightly.
If the Sixth Princess is willing, at least they won't become a pair of resentful lovers.
The two did not continue discussing this topic, and Helian Ji accompanied her to feed the fish.
Lu Qionghua asked him casually about his life in Lian City.
When talking about his hometown, Helian Ji's eyebrows beamed with joy.
As Lu Qionghua listened, he let go of his prejudice against him.
Unexpectedly, this guy is not so useless.
Although Lu Qionghua had never left the capital, she had read a lot of books and knew something about Li'an City, so she could also join in a few sentences of what Helian Ji said.
Helian Ji was very surprised to find that when Lu Qionghua was not finding fault with him, she was still a very lovely girl.
The two of them chatted for a long time without realizing it.
It was almost time for the palace gates to close when Helian Ji left.
The concubine Shu, who was observing secretly, was very satisfied with this.
The two children were at loggerheads at first, but after spending some time together, they naturally developed feelings for each other.
This way she doesn't have to worry about their future relationship.
Under Concubine Shu's deliberate guidance, although the two still quarreled, their feelings were gradually deepening.
Helian Ji gradually realized that the Sixth Princess was well-read and talented, and if she took part in the imperial examination, she would be able to become the top scorer.
He has been a poor student since childhood, so he always has an inexplicable admiration for people who can read.
Once his prejudice was removed, he saw only the advantages of Lu Qionghua.
Lu Qionghua initially thought that Helian Ji was a bad-tempered man with a sharp tongue, but after getting to know him for a long time, he found that he was actually a chivalrous man, similar to the heroes in the storybooks who saw injustice and drew their swords to help.
She also had a better impression of him.
The two stayed together like this until their wedding a year later.
After the marriage, in order to make it easier for Lu Qionghua to see her mother and sister, Helian Ji chose to stay with her in the capital and obey her instructions in everything.
At this time, the pregnant Lu Qionghua was eating sour plums while looking at him with raised eyebrows: "Didn't you say that the husband is the wife's rule, so I should listen to you, the prince, in everything?"
"Madam, you are joking. What do you mean by 'husband is the guide for wife'? It is the wife that is the guide for husband. Only by listening to you, madam, can you achieve success." Helian Ji had long been conquered by Lu Qionghua, and coaxed her tenderly and caringly.
"That's better." Lu Qionghua chuckled, and when he spit out the plum pit, Helian Ji subconsciously reached out to take it.
This scene was seen by Lu Qiongying who came rushing over and she was a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, this unruly and stubborn brother-in-law actually became controlled by his wife.
The Sixth Princess is really good at keeping her husband away.
Seeing Lu Qiongying, Helian Ji's expression changed immediately. He waved his fan, hid the plum pit, and then pretended to be arrogant and said, "Princess, why are you standing there? Hurry up and feed this plum to this prince to taste."
While Lu Qiongying was not paying attention, he tried his best to wink at Lu Qionghua.
We agreed at the beginning that we should give him face outside.
Lu Qionghua saw her sister and understood what he meant. She held back her laughter, put on a pretentious look, put a plum to his lips, and said softly, "Please, my Lord."
Helian Ji ate the plum in one bite, but he never expected that it was so sour that his facial features wrinkled.
"Pah, so sour."
Seeing this scene, Lu Qiongying and Lu Qionghua both laughed out loud.
Lu Qiongying said speechlessly: "Helian Ji, we are all family, so stop pretending."
Helian Ji drank several sips of tea before he came to his senses.
He looked at Lu Qionghua with a frown on his face: "This plum is so sour, how can you eat it? How about I ask someone to buy you something sweet?"
"No. I like sour food." Lu Qionghua refused immediately.
After she became pregnant, she particularly liked to eat sour food.
"Sour boy, spicy girl. Is this baby a boy?" Lu Qiongying sat down beside her with a smile on her face.
"It's all right. I like both sons and daughters." Lu Qionghua replied with a smile.
Helian Ji murmured quietly: "Then my son is better."
These words drew angry glares from the two men.
"What do you mean, you favor boys over girls?"
"How is that possible?" Helian Ji quickly denied.
"I just think that sons look like their mothers. It would be better to have a son like you than a daughter like me."
After hearing this, both of them were speechless.
Among the princes-in-law, Helian Ji had the most ordinary appearance, so he was under a lot of pressure.
The others are too handsome. Although he is also handsome, he cannot compare to them. He feels inferior! !
He judged others by himself, thinking that if he gave birth to a daughter, she would look like him and not as pretty as his cousins, wouldn't his daughter feel inferior?
After hearing his reasons, they were speechless.
"We Lu family members are all good-looking. Maybe if we give birth to a daughter, she will look like me." Lu Qionghua snorted.
Helian Ji nodded repeatedly: "It's best to be like you."
Lu Qiongying looked at her sister's belly with amusement and said, "Why does your belly look a little strange to me?"
After hearing this, Helian Ji and Lu Qionghua became nervous.
"Fifth sister, don't scare me." Lu Qionghua was a little nervous.
"Silly girl, I just think your belly is a little big. Are you carrying twins?" Lu Qiongying realized that her words were ambiguous and hurried to comfort her sister.
"Twins are good. If it's a boy and a girl, there won't be any more trouble." Helian Ji was overjoyed.
But on the day Lu Qionghua gave birth, he regretted saying this.
There was no other reason, it was because Lu Qionghua had a difficult birth.
Fortunately, Tian Nanxing and Lu Heng were there and worked together to save her life.
Helian Ji was so frightened that he burst into tears and didn't even bother to see the child. He held Lu Qionghua's hand and said that he would never let her have a child again.
What twins? He only wants his wife.
Concubine Shu came to see her daughter give birth, and she couldn't help wiping away tears when she heard this.
Fortunately, she did not make a mistake and chose a good husband for her daughter.
Lu Qionghua felt both sour and sweet in her heart.
She didn't expect that Helian Ji was so deeply in love with her. After wiping his tears, she fell into a deep sleep.
Helian Ji finally had time to look after the two children.
Lu Qionghua gave birth to a son and a daughter, and Helian Ji breathed a sigh of relief.
He asked his father to name the two children.
The son's name is Helian Jing and the daughter's name is Helian Xi.
It was not until Lu Qionghua finished her confinement that she found out that Helian Ji had asked her fifth brother-in-law for male contraceptive pills.
He kept his word that he would not have any other children in his life.
"Silly boy, more children means more blessings, doesn't it?" Lu Qionghua looked at him tenderly.
"I am blessed to have you. I don't want to lose you." Helian Ji couldn't help but tear up when he thought of the scene when she was on the verge of death during childbirth that day.
He buried his head in Lu Qionghua's neck and tears fell.
"Qiong Hua, don't leave me."
"Okay, I will stay with you until we grow old." Lu Qionghua's heart was completely captured by him.
The couple never had any more children after that, and their son and daughter grew up successfully.
In the end, Lu Qionghua fulfilled her promise and stayed with Helian Ji until the end of their lives.
