Chapter 54 Liu Dong looked timidly: "Do you like children...?"
The snow had been falling all night and had stopped completely. Not only was there no sound of the wind, but even the chirping of birds was gone.
He Jiuyue knocked on the table with a clear "knock knock" sound. She stopped only when Wen Zheliu came back to his senses. Finally, she attracted his attention. She stopped knocking and waited for his reply.
Wen Zheliu shook his head, his voice as light as a feather.
"I am not angry, nor do I dare to be."
He lowered his head and looked very obedient.
But only He Jiuyue knew that hidden inside that frail and sickly body was such a strong heart.
Two months ago, she cruelly abandoned him. He was left alone in Changle Palace with a fetus in his belly. Despite the targeting of Emperor Jingming, he managed to hold on. However, it was visibly that he had lost a lot of weight.
Her heart felt like it was being pricked by needles, and it was so painful. He Jiuyue reached out and rubbed Wen Zheliu's soft black hair.
"If you don't dare, just take good care of yourself."
Wen Zheliu nodded blankly: "...Yes."
The man in front of her had a dull expression, which was very cute. He Jiuyue touched his round earlobe and pinched it gently. It felt good, and she couldn't help but pinch it again and again.
"I told you earlier that I wanted to hang a jade earring on you. Do you remember?"
Of course I remember.
From the moment she proposed it, he kept it in mind.
But he couldn't tell whether He Jiuyue gave him the earrings on a whim or there was something else going on, so she didn't mention it and he didn't ask again.
As time passed, she brought it up again, which must have taken it to heart.
"Remember."
Wen Zheliu first responded softly, then carefully found a reasonable excuse for He Jiuyue, who had not mentioned this matter for a long time: "It's not a big deal. The princess is busy with official duties. If it's inconvenient, it doesn't matter if you don't buy it for me."
"What's the inconvenience? I took the jade material to the craftsman more than half a month ago and ordered it. By now, the craftsman should have finished it."
I was surprised to hear the willows being cut.
He Jiuyue had been so sure before, and he thought she had bought it ready-made, but did he actually ask a craftsman to make it specially?
"Thank you, Princess. You're so troubled."
"Don't worry, as long as you like it, I'll put it on for you the day after tomorrow and take a walk outside, okay?"
He Jiuyue moved from the side of the couch to the side of Wen Zheliu, buried her head in his shoulder, and her nose twitched intentionally or unintentionally, taking in the fragrance from his body.
"Originally it was just a pure jade earring. I looked at the style and added a bell. When you wear it, it swings back and forth, jingling, jingling, and the sound is very loud. No matter where you are, as long as you have this pendant, I can find you..."
Her voice grew softer and softer, and the weight on his shoulders grew heavier.
Finally, the sound stopped and the breathing became lighter.
Wen Zheliu glanced sideways and found that He Jiuyue had fallen asleep on his shoulder.
The two people were too close, their breaths mixing.
The abdominal pain was relieved by some unexpected means.
Wen Zheliu silently pulled the quilt over He Jiuyue's back and tightened it around him.
He Jiuyue has been running back and forth. He has to fight in Southeast County and has no time to rest. When he returns to the capital, he has to deal with intrigues and cannot relax for a moment. I took care of him all night last night and I am afraid she must be tired.
In the past, whenever his adoptive mother Wen Xiang came back from official duties, his father Chen Yi would always light incense and pour tea, let his adoptive mother rest her head on his lap, and press her solar plexus to relieve her discomfort.
Then should he also...?
Wen Zheliu's fingertips found He Jiyue's solar plexus and pressed it twice gently.
He Jiuyue was motionless, as if she was fast asleep.
How could she be so defenseless? But only at such times did he dare to get close to her. At other times, he could only hope for her mercy.
Wen Zheliu left no trace and pressed closer and closer to He Jiuyue's strong arms.
She had taken care of him so many times, it was time for him to take care of her.
"Jun..." Chen Jin's figure appeared behind the window.
"Shh!" Wen Zheliu shouted to stop quickly. Chen Jin was stunned for a moment and lowered his voice.
"Lord Zhong is in poor condition. His Majesty has ordered the court envoy to return to the palace."
The Imperial Hospital's Imperial Hospital's Imperial Hospital had only one official, Wu Yang. Hadn't she been taking care of He Jiyue's father, Lord Zhong, in the palace? Why did Chen Jin go to He Jiyue to ask for Wu Yang's help?
Wen Zheliu was completely confused. The person in his arms moved and stood up.
"She is in the ear room, just let her go back."
Wu Yang had been on standby in the ear room since last night. When he finally heard the order to come out, he hurried out of the ear room and expressed his gratitude slowly.
"Wu Yang, leave. I'm going to rest in the study. I won't disturb you while you recover."
Just as He Jiyue was about to leave, Wen Zheliu grabbed the corner of her clothes and said, "I'm going to ask you, why don't you go to the side hall to rest?"
Go to the side hall and stare at He Liuyun?
"...Men and women should not touch each other."
Wen Zheliu's thin eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and no word came out of his thin lips, but his beautiful round eyes expressed his confusion.
He Jiuyue was also puzzled.
Is it weird not to sleep in the same room with your biological brother?
She reached out and touched Wen Zheliu's forehead, confirming that it was only slightly hot. Wen Zheliu was conscious and there was no confusion in his mind caused by the high fever, so she withdrew her hand.
"What's the confusion? Ask."
"I don't understand why the princess said 'men and women shouldn't touch each other'?" Wen Zheliu's eyes were clear, like a spring that could be seen through at a glance. "He is not the princess's new husband, so he should bear the responsibility of having children."
"Pfft!" Chen Jin was the first to laugh out loud.
He Jiuyue looked serious and waved her hand to stop her from laughing as she was just watching the fun.
"Why do you think he is my new husband?"
"You don't usually keep men around you." Chen Jin just laughed really loudly. Wen Zheliu blinked and began to doubt the accuracy of his own thoughts. "Am I wrong?"
"Do you remember when I was little, I told you that I had a little brother?"
If He Liuyun, who was in a growth period and could stay in bed for a while, had not been pulled over early in the morning, it would not be good for his physical development. He Jiuyue wanted to bring him over and let Wen Zheliu personally compare how similar the two siblings looked.
"That's my younger brother He Liuyun, our biological brother. We share the same mother and father. It's just that you haven't met before, so it's not surprising that you don't recognize him."
Wen Zheliu felt his face getting hot immediately.
It's so embarrassing.
He actually mistook He Jiyue's younger brother for her new husband...
He was so embarrassed that his ears turned red, but He Jiuyue was still explaining seriously.
"He and I are just brother and sister, nothing more. That Xiaoqing who was always hanging around you is now imprisoned in the Dali Temple. In the entire Princess's Mansion, you are my only husband."
"He is my only husband"?
Is she going to give him the position of head of the family?
Looking at He Jiuyue's serious eyes, Wen Zheliu subconsciously became arrogant.
"What about the entire Central Plains?"
He Jiuyue's answer remained the same: "You are the only one."
"...You are so good at pleasing people." Wen Zheliu blushed.
He Jiuyue was confused.
What do you mean by coaxing a man? She didn't coax him?
If she were to say something sweet, would she distance herself from Wen Zheliu and speak clearly and articulately?
"I'm not kidding you, I'm telling you the truth."
During pregnancy, thoughts related to the partner will not calm down, but will become more and more agitated. Wen Zheliu clutched the quilt with her fingertips, her face flushed like a rosy cloud.
"If you keep talking like that, you won't be able to rest."
Can't she rest? In the face of something like this, does she need to rest?
She is still young and has plenty of strength and means.
You won’t have no energy to treat a man after staying up all night.
"Can you?"
He Jiuyue put her hand on Wen Zheliu's chest and slid it to his slightly bulging belly, hinting at something.
Wen Zheliu was startled.
Wu Yang came last night and took his pulse.
I'm just afraid that the baby in her belly will no longer be a secret that he keeps alone.
"...If the princess is interested, I will be waiting for you at any time." He smiled faintly.
Chen Jin knew when to leave and even helped them close the door.
"When did you find out you were pregnant?" He Jiuyue suddenly asked.
Wen Zheliu did not answer immediately, but just thought quietly.
Wu Yang just found out that he was pregnant last night.
He had no access to other doctors before and probably had no way of knowing that she was pregnant.
The best way to prevaricate was to put his arms around He Jiuyue's neck and said with a look of surprise: "I have the princess's child?"
But he couldn't lie to He Jiuyue.
"...When I started vomiting, I was suspicious, but Changle Palace was locked and no doctor could get in, so I didn't do anything."
He Jiyue frowned: "When did you start vomiting?"
Wen Zheliu blinked and said, "Half a month ago."
He endured this kind of pain for half a month.
He Jiuyue took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
"Didn't Wu Yang prescribe you any medicine to help with the pregnancy?"
"No," Wen Zheliu shook his head, "She didn't say I was pregnant."
He Jiuyue felt a pang of pain in her heart.
If she had known at that time that Wen Zheliu was pregnant with her child, she would at least have sent someone to Changle Palace to personally guard his safety.
But she didn't know it at the time.
He Jiuyue lowered her head and nibbled Zheliu's shoulder, only to find it was all hard bones, and her heart ached again.
How can he not lose weight if he can’t eat?
He Jiuyue didn't dare to hug Wen Zheliu too tightly.
I'm afraid if I use too much force, I'll break him in half.
Wen Zheliu was still stiff and dared not move.
It seemed that any movement he made would anger her and make her stop.
With mixed feelings in her heart, she could only put a thousand words into a sentence.
"Zheliu, you have suffered."
"No, it's not bitter." Wen Zheliu stuttered anxiously.
While staying in Changle Palace, Wen Zheliu stared at the palace walls that were so high that he couldn't see the top, and couldn't help feeling resentful. But after the welcoming banquet, when he followed He Jiuyue out of the palace, most of his anger subsided.
At that time, he mistakenly took He Jiuyue's younger brother He Liuyun as her new husband. He was a little furious in his heart, but accepted it with grievance. Now that the misunderstanding was cleared up, he was no longer angry at all.
"My lady, if you would accept me, I cannot thank you enough."
He said this, but he was still confused.
He Jiuyue already knew about the existence of the child, but her attitude towards him was different from what he expected. What exactly did she mean to the child?
"But, I have something to ask."
"Ask." He Jiuyue answered briefly, and was distracted by Wen Zheliu's belly, which was vaguely covered under the quilt.
His lower abdomen was slightly bulging, rising and falling like waves with his breathing.
It's like a pearl in the deep sea, shining with crystal luster.
He Jiuyue couldn't help but stretch out her hand and hold the pearl with great care.
When he heard Zheliu, he trembled and the tips of his ears turned red.
"Don't you have something to ask?" He Jiuyue blew into his ear.
"Hmm!" Wen Zheliu closed his eyes.
How could he speak like this? When he opened his mouth, all he could say was...
But He Jiuyue was still urging him.
"Ask." Her voice was hoarse, and her eyes reflected the blushing beauty.
"County, princess."
The words of the willow-breaking are like the wind, and the bright moon is like the willow.
The wind blows, the willows sway, and the willows with pale cheeks dyed red also sway, and the air leaks as soon as they open their mouths.
He really didn't want to make such an unspeakable sound in broad daylight. Wen Zheliu tried hard to hold back the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes, and bit the back of his hand, leaving several marks of varying depths.
He looked timidly: "Do you like children?"
