Chapter 399 So Stupid
Xuanyuan Ling's heart skipped a beat: "What did you say?"
Shen Qing did not say it again. Her heart beat a little faster. It was irrational to say this, or it was the product of a brain twitch, but she didn't want to take it back after she said it.
She has been using contraception over the years. Firstly, she really doesn't want to have children anymore. She has always put herself first. When she gave birth to Xiaoliu, she realized that with the level of medical care in this world, if there was an accident during childbirth, she would really die. Secondly, if she gave birth to another child, she would be too safe.
In this world, as a concubine, the more children you have, the better. Two princes are better than one. Even if it's a princess, it's always good to have more children. At least Shen Qing's position will be more stable. But if she gets pregnant, the probability of being targeted will increase, and the risk index will increase. Also, who knows if Xuanyuan Ling will be on guard against her in the end? She thought that Xuanyuan Ling might be afraid of the child when he grows up. This is unavoidable for most emperors, so having children also has risks. After weighing the pros and cons, Shen Qing chose not to have a child.
One is also good. Although she attracts attention, she can just focus on one. Shen Qing still feels that if one cannot be raised well, then there is no need to talk about two. It is not like having many children means there will be a chance. In this regard, she still believes in eugenics.
But now, Shen Qing was also feeling emotional. In fact, it was not to the point where she had to have a child for him. She felt that the expression of love did not require her to have a child for a man, but she wanted to let nature take its course. After all, she had been taking birth control pills for so many years. Although the imperial physician had tried to make the effect of the medicine as mild as possible, she had been taking the medicine for so many years, and it was hard to say whether she could have a child or not. But she didn't want to deliberately use contraception every time she was with him.
It seemed as if she was deliberately avoiding him...
Xuanyuan Ling certainly heard it clearly, but he was probably in disbelief because of what Shen Qing said just now. When he heard her say to stop taking the medicine, he felt that he must have heard it wrong. He had thought about Shen Qing stopping taking the medicine many times.
When she took the medicine, he wanted her not to take it, but Shen Qing said she was afraid of the pain, so he acquiesced. She has not had a child for so many years, and when he looks at Xiaoliu, he will think that it would be nice to have another child with her, but he has concerns in his heart, so naturally he won't say these things. Over the years, he has avoided thinking about these things.
But after all, he heard it, and he couldn't help but say, "I didn't hear it clearly. Say it again."
Shen Qing said that it was already a day ago, and he didn't mind saying it a second time. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. Would he be happy?
Humph, how dare he be unhappy?
Shen Qing said unhappily: “I have been taking bitter medicine for several years and I don’t want to take it anymore, but the emperor is not restrained.”
She was serious. Xuanyuan Ling looked at her arrogant little appearance, and his heart ached for a moment. He hugged her tightly and said, "Let's have another child. With two princes, you will be more stable, and Xiaoliu will have a brother. We can help each other in the court in the future. But I also want a princess like you..."
"Stop." Shen Qing listened to his long string of words: "Not yet, what are you thinking about."
They are brothers and princesses, so what? Does it mean that if she relaxes this time, she will have to keep giving birth in the future?
Are you kidding?
"If we are destined to have another child, let's have another one." Chen Qing said, "I'm really afraid of the pain."
Xuanyuan Ling's excitement subsided a little. At this moment, he could still think of how Shen Qing looked when she gave birth to Xiaoliu. In fact, the reason why he tacitly allowed her to use contraception over the years might not be because the situation on that day made him distressed. She was in so much pain when she gave birth to Xiaoliu.
But I feel sweet in my heart. If the first one gave birth to a prince for her own security, then can we say that the second one was given just to have a child with him?
At first, he thought Shen Qing treated him as her husband, but later he silently denied it in his heart. Now he has picked up this feeling again. Now she really feels like she wants to give birth to a child for her husband.
Xuanyuan Ling smiled with joy in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows: "Okay, let's have one."
Shen Qing looked at his happy expression and said, "How silly."
He is so happy, but he is not yet happy. How happy will he be if he really gets it?
Xuanyuan Ling asked her to poke: "What nonsense."
He is an emperor after all, isn't it embarrassing to be called stupid? But he is not angry when being called stupid, he is in a very good mood at the moment.
Chen Qing smiled when she saw his expression. Xuanyuan Ling looked at her without smiling. She was too happy and had no other thoughts. She just wanted to hug him tightly, but she still had to take a bath. He had just said that he would give Chen Qing a bath, and he did not forget it. He really helped Chen Qing take a bath.
After washing, he was reluctant to let go, as if he had just won this beauty today and was unwilling to let go.
The atmosphere between the two of them changed a lot all of a sudden, and the servants could feel it. Chunhua and Zhao Hai couldn't understand why, in the eyes of the servants, the emperor and the queen had been in love for so many years, and now it suddenly seemed like... a newlywed couple? No, that's not quite accurate. It was like a pair of lovers who had been in love for many years finally got married.
Chunhua and Zhao Hai all thought that it was unbelievable that the Emperor doted on the Empress so much, but now it has been more than ten years, not to mention that their feelings have faded, the two of them can actually take a step closer, which is really unbelievable and makes people sigh from the bottom of their hearts. Let alone the royal family, even among the common people, it is not easy for a couple to remain as close as before for ten years.
Thinking about it now, I feel that Xuanyuan Ling and Shen Qing are a proper couple. The queen is really more like a monarch and a subject, not a couple. But the rules are still there. The emperor is still the emperor after all. I just sighed in my heart and dared not say it out loud.
The night passed slowly, and Xuanyuan Ling woke up at the same time the next day. His biological clock was very accurate. After all, he had to attend the morning court, so he woke up at the time. When he turned around, Chen Qing was still beside him.
He has been looking at her sleeping face for many years, mostly when he was staying in Zhaohua Palace. When he got up in the morning, Chen Qing didn't get up to help him get dressed, and he didn't want to see her helping him get up while she was still sleepy. It's not like he didn't have servants, so why should he work so hard? But looking at her now, he didn't know if it was because last night she had dispelled the thoughts that had been weighing on his heart for all these years, but now he always felt that he didn't want to leave when looking at her.
ps: The familiar Xuanyuan Ling, who is good at imaginative and love-brained, is back.
