Chapter 59 "She really is pregnant."
Chapter 59: The Dimness ==
The dim environment heightened some of his senses. Xiao Yu held his wife tightly in his arms, his long tongue slowly penetrating deeper, dancing with her delicate tongue. Su Wanyue was breathless from his kisses and tried to dodge, but he held her shoulders firmly. His calloused fingers caressed her fair skin inch by inch, bringing waves of tingling sensation. Gradually, his hands began to wander, parting her legs.
Su Wanyue let out a soft moan, her voice gentle and melodious, as she struggled to break free. But the more she tried to escape, the stronger the man's advances became, as if he wanted to devour her whole. Her body was covered in the scent of ambergris, her almond eyes were hazy, and at this moment, her watery eyes were filled with him. This made Xiao Yu's heart flutter, and he was very happy.
When he released his wife from his arms, Xiao Yu's long, slender, fair fingertips were damp with water. He calmly wiped the water off his fingertips with a handkerchief. Looking at his wife in the boudoir, her cheeks were flushed, as shy as peach blossoms, and her snow-white skin was tinged with pink. She finally looked a bit more alive.
Xiao Yu first straightened his robes, then went over and picked up his wife. She naturally hugged his neck and buried her head in his chest with a hint of dependence. Xiao Yu paused and carried her to the bath like a child.
After all this commotion, it was completely dark inside the palace. The room was warm and cozy. Servants filed in and brought out the food. Xiao Yu and Su Wanyue sat opposite each other. Su Wanyue ate a bowl of soup and two pieces of pastry before putting down her chopsticks. Xiao Yu frowned when he saw this, waved for the servants to leave, and went over to lift her onto his lap again. He picked up a piece of tender, boneless fish and fed it to his wife, saying, "Eat a little more with me."
Under his "coercion and enticement," Su Wanyue ate some more food until she really couldn't eat anymore, at which point Xiao Yu released her.
Su Wanyue slept for half the day, and Xiao Yu thought his wife wouldn't be able to sleep at night, so he prepared to tell her a story. But his wife fell asleep as soon as she touched the gold-threaded pillow. Xiao Yu's eyes deepened, and he pulled his wife into his arms from behind, closing his eyes as he smelled her fragrance.
The next day, when Xiao Yu returned from court, a guard hurriedly entered the hall and said to him, "Your Highness, Master Yunyang has already entered the capital."
Master Yunyang is Xiao Yu's master. Since Master Yunyang is coming to the capital, Xiao Yu will definitely go with him. Su Wanyue raised her eyes upon hearing this, and Xiao Yu touched her fair and smooth cheek. "Wanwan, would you like to accompany me?"
At this moment, on the high mountain of Guimin Temple, there was not only the white-robed Master Yunyang, but also another Master Huiyuan, who was blowing his beard and looked angry. Master Huiyuan was Su Wanyue's master.
Master Yunyang was highly respected and always appeared dignified and solemn in public. However, he seemed to become childlike in front of his close friend, taking every opportunity to tease him, "You old codger, you're always holed up on that towering mountain peak, or you're always traveling around the world. Why did you decide to come to Beili now?"
"What do you mean by that? Does this mean only you can come to Beili, but I can't? Besides, I didn't come here for Zilu. I didn't expect that although you, old man, are not very capable, your disciple is still extremely powerful and has a great reputation throughout the world."
"What do you mean I'm incompetent? That old man is renowned throughout the land, okay? Otherwise, how could I have trained such an outstanding disciple as His Highness the Crown Prince?" Master Yunyang retorted, his face red and neck thick.
When Su Wanyue and Xiao Yu arrived, they saw this scene and walked over, saying, "Master."
Master Yunyang and Master Huiyuan immediately looked up and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince and Your Highness the Crown Princess."
Xiao Yu supported his wife's waist and said with a smile, "Master, Master Huiyuan."
Master Yunyang glanced at his disciple, his eyes brimming with undisguised pride. His main reason for returning this time was the current situation between Bei Li and Nan Qiong. He looked at his disciple and the graceful young woman beside him and smiled, "I already know what's happening in the capital. Your Highness, would you mind playing a game of chess with me?"
Huiyuan, that old rascal, isn't very good himself, but the girl he taught is outstanding, poised and elegant.
Xiao Yu went to see Su Wanyue, who smiled at him and said, "I'm going to the main hall to offer incense."
"Take good care of the Crown Princess." Xiao Yu released her waist and instructed Qin'er.
Qin'er curtsied and helped Su Wanyue to the main hall to offer incense. Su Wanyue devoutly lit three sticks of incense and made a wish. When Su Wanyue returned from offering incense, Master Huiyuan called out to her, "Ziluo."
To Su Wanyue, Master Huiyuan was like a second father, because he was always kind to the younger generation, especially to girls. Su Wanyue smiled and replied, "Master."
Master Huiyuan turned slightly to show her the divination results on the table. "I've cast a divination for you. Come and take a look."
Master Huiyuan did not consult the oracle lightly. He consulted the oracle five times in his life. Twice it was for the situation in Nanqiong, and three times it was for his disciple Su Wanyue. Master Huiyuan devoted his entire life to Su Wanyue and Lu Qingchen.
Upon hearing this, Su Wanyue walked over. Master Huiyuan and Abbess Jinghui were from the same clan and were both skilled in divination. In divination, Bai Shuang had inherited Abbess Jinghui's true teachings, while Su Wanyue was not very proficient in divination.
She couldn't quite understand it, so she humbly asked Master Huiyuan for guidance. Master Huiyuan said his first words of the day, "Zi Luo, I remember telling you a long time ago that you and Qing Chen are not destined to be husband and wife."
The woman paused for a moment, thinking back to the twelfth month of the eleventh year of Chengqian's reign. Su Wanyue and Lu Qingchen were returning to the capital. She had forgotten something and needed to go back to get it, while Lu Qingchen had to return to the capital to report on his duties. So they had to part ways halfway.
When Master Huiyuan saw her return, he asked if she had left something behind. The girl nodded quickly and hurriedly went inside to get it. After she got the item and was about to say goodbye to Master Huiyuan, he stopped her and asked her to look at a divination, asking her what she meant by Lu Qingchen. The girl thought about it carefully for a moment and said sweetly, "My second brother is very good to me, and I will definitely marry him in the future."
However, Master Huiyuan said, "Ziluo, I have divined the future of you and Qingchen. You two are not destined to be husband and wife."
With the destiny of a phoenix, how could she become the second young mistress of a prime minister's mansion? The crown prince of Nanqiong is the young girl's cousin, so she certainly wouldn't marry him. There's only one possibility: her true love might be in Beili. For this reason, Master Huiyuan decided to travel the world. Later, Nanqiong and Beili decided to get married. After many twists and turns, the divination from back then finally came true.
Su Wanyue remembered that she was clearly at a loss when she heard these words that day. After returning home, she told Lu Qingchen about it. Lu Qingchen saw that the little girl's eyes were red and she looked like a little rabbit. He found it a little funny. "It's not that time yet. Besides, things are up to people. This divination may not be true. If it is true, as long as that person treats you better than your second brother, your second brother will accept it."
Lu Qingchen was gentle and refined, with a broad mind and a more open-minded perspective than anyone else. From beginning to end, all he cared about was whether Su Wanyue would be doing well.
Su Wanyue's breath was slightly damp; the series of events had gradually made her understand her own heart.
Master Huiyuan: "Ziluo, youth is fleeting. I told you before that you can't always think about considering and arranging everything perfectly. When you were forced by His Majesty and the Empress to marry Prince Cheng of Beili, did you ever think about getting back together with Qingchen?"
To put it bluntly, the girl in front of him was only a sixteen-year-old girl. According to Grand Tutor Nanqiong, she had the sense of loyalty that comes with being a member of the martial arts world. Because Lu Qingchen was still unable to let go of this relationship, if she were to give her whole heart to the Crown Prince of Beili, she would feel sorry for Lu Qingchen. But matters of the heart cannot be measured by right or wrong. Therefore, she needed someone to guide her and help her clear away the fog.
Su Wanyue gently shook her head, her almond-shaped eyes shimmering like water, crystal clear.
"If that's the case, then why do you worry about what will happen to Qingchen after you open your heart to the Crown Prince of Beili? Because from the beginning, it was impossible for you and Qingchen to be together. Qingchen is still trapped in the past, constantly struggling, because he knows you were forced into this marriage. He's afraid you won't be happy, afraid you'll suffer in Beili, so he doesn't dare to be happy. If you and the Crown Prince of Beili are truly happy and fulfilled, I believe Qingchen will gradually let go. As for resentment, if you resented Qingchen because you thought he wasn't as powerful and influential as the Prince of Beili, then..." "You resolutely abandoned him, and he might resent you, but that's not the case. How could he possibly resent you?" After a pause, Master Huiyuan continued, "As for Zilu yourself, life is long. You and the Crown Prince of Beili are already husband and wife. There's nothing wrong with you and him being of one mind. Other things shouldn't be shackles binding you. This marriage has created a prosperous and peaceful era for Nanqiong and Beili. If we were to find a culprit for this, we wouldn't find a young girl like you. Zilu, do you understand what I mean?"
In truth, Master Huiyuan knew that Lu Qingchen would probably never marry anyone else in his life, but both of them were disciples he had watched grow up, and one of them had to be happy.
Zilu has already shouldered many burdens that she shouldn't have to bear at her age. She deserves to live well. Her relationship with the Crown Prince of Beili was a natural one.
Su Wanyue pondered Master Huiyuan's words carefully, and her shimmering eyes gradually cleared. Master Huiyuan's gaze was compassionate, and his tone was filled with pity, "Ziluo, there is no right or wrong in matters of the heart, nor is there a why. You must understand."
Several swallows flew over from the distant sky and perched on the sycamore tree. They chirped and circled around the treetops incessantly. Su Wanyue looked at these swallows and couldn't help but think of herself. The dark clouds that had been weighing on her heart gradually dissipated, and a familiar smile appeared on her face, like the first rays of warm sunshine. "Thank you, Master. I understand."
Su Wanyue made a move to get up, but seeing that she was still the same as before, running away like a swallow at the drop of a hat, Master Huiyuan smiled and said, "I have come all this way, and Zilu is not even willing to play a game of chess with me?"
"Master, please go first." Su Wanyue sat down properly again. Her chess skills were taught by her tutor and Master Huiyuan, and she had never lost in front of others, and today was no exception.
As the game progressed, Su Wanyue's white pieces gained a favorable position on the board. Master Huiyuan's eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction, and he suddenly asked, "I heard you are pregnant."
Su Wanyue was taken aback and told Master Huiyuan that all of this was just a man's scheme to solve the immediate crisis.
Master Huiyuan, however, seemed to have a deeper meaning in mind. Thinking of the divination he had just received, he smiled and asked, "Is it possible that you are indeed pregnant?"
Xiao Yu played a game of chess with Master Yunyang before heading to pick up his wife. On the way, he nearly bumped into her. Seeing her strange expression and seemingly anxious demeanor, Xiao Yu asked, "What's wrong? What did Master Huiyuan say to you?"
“Master just said…” Su Wanyue stared blankly at the man in front of her, suddenly unable to speak.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu looked at her patiently, his gaze gentle and tender. "What did he say?"
Su Wanyue lowered her head and looked at the pearls on her pink embroidered shoes. "My master just cast a divination for me, and he said I might really be pregnant."
Xiao Yu's body trembled, and he looked down at her.
