Mu Lige looked at his young wife, and a look of helplessness appeared on his handsome face.
"Qingqing, we can talk about these things in private, but you must not say a word in front of the Queen Mother..." Mu Lige stretched out his fingers and gently pinched Hua Qingcheng's pink cheek, his eyes full of worry, and he repeatedly warned.
Mu Lige had also heard about Nalan Yunzhi's relentless pursuit of the Feng family's second son. If the Second Elder hadn't personally stated that Nalan Yunzhi had sustained severe internal injuries, he would have suspected that this was all just a "torture scheme" orchestrated by the Emperor, aimed solely at gaining Feng Lingyan's sympathy.
From this perspective, their emperor still has feelings for Feng Lingyan.
However, to this day, Feng Lingyan, who goes by the alias "Feng Lingqian", is not only deeply cared for by the emperor, but also silently protected by a devoted woman like Duan Yunfei. The noble ladies of the capital have sent matchmakers to propose marriage to her, and even the emperor of Lengyue Kingdom has sent an envoy to Laifeng Kingdom, just to ask for the hand of the second son of the Feng family...
As the saying goes, "A man is innocent unless he possesses a treasure." Feng Lingyan himself has done nothing wrong, but his talent and peerless beauty, like the brightest star in the night sky, may attract the covetousness of those with ulterior motives and even provoke a war between the two countries.
Thinking of this, Mu Lige couldn't help but start to worry about Feng Lingyan's future and fate, fearing that if he was not careful, he would be labeled as "a disaster to the country and the people" and "a disaster to the blue-faced man" by those with ulterior motives.
The ill-fated Young Master Feng was trapped at the bottom of the Cliff of Forgetfulness for more than sixteen years. He finally escaped from the sea of suffering and recognized his biological daughter. He really shouldn't have to endure any more unprovoked disaster.
Mu Lige secretly made up his mind to protect Feng Lingyan no matter what, to protect his young wife's biological father, and never let this talented and beautiful man come to any harm...
"Brother Li, do you think I'm such a brainless person?" Hua Qingcheng hugged Mu Lige who was in reverie, curled her lips and snorted.
Mu Lige was brought back to reality by Hua Qingcheng's voice and smiled gently: "Qingqing, don't worry. I will definitely protect Dad and will never let anyone hurt him."
Hearing the man's sincere words, Hua Qingcheng was slightly startled at first, but she quickly reacted. She leaned close to Mu Lige, quickly pecked his lips, and smiled slightly, saying, "Su Mu Lige, you really are... really the best lover in the world!"
Hua Qingcheng's words were like honey, and the sweetness melted into Mu Lige's heart, nourishing his heart like a gentle breeze and drizzle.
However, the arrogant Mu Lige suppressed the upward curve of his lips, not wanting to reveal his inner joy. He pretended to be serious and asked, "Nalan Qingcheng, who are those 'bad brothers' of yours?"
As soon as he said that, Mu Lige regretted it immensely. He cursed himself inwardly, "Pregnancy really makes you stupid for three years." He was terrified of what his young wife might say next. Even if it didn't anger him to death, it might still make him depressed for a while...
"Well..." Hua Qingcheng raised the corners of her lips slightly, and looked at Mu Lige with a smile, a hint of cunning flashed quickly in her beautiful eyes.
She opened her red lips slightly and spoke slowly, "That guy Situ Leng always calls himself my 'Second Brother', while Han Yaonie always likes to call himself 'Third Brother'. Besides that, there's that Flower Monk, Old Six, who keeps saying 'Brother, Brother,' all the time. Lately, he's even been arguing with Situ Leng over who is the real 'Second Brother'..."
When Mu Lige heard that the people Hua Qingcheng mentioned were the guys in the backyard of the East Palace, he felt a little relieved.
However, when he heard Hua Qingcheng's unique nicknames for them, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. He immediately stared at Hua Qingcheng with a suspicious look and asked nervously, "Qingqing, since you have given nicknames to them all, then I guess there should be a special nickname for me as well. So...so what is my nickname?"
Mu Lige's voice trembled slightly, as if he was full of anxiety and anticipation about the answer he was about to hear.
Upon hearing this, Hua Qingcheng couldn't help but sigh, "Oh no!" She had lost herself in thought and had actually mentioned all the nicknames Han Yichen had given her and the other men. However, how could she possibly say the name "Mu Dagua" to Mu Lige?
Hua Qingcheng rolled her eyes and said in a serious tone, "Of course I do, but this is a secret between us, so I can only tell you secretly..."
Seeing this, Mu Lige hurriedly put his ear close to Hua Qingcheng.
Hua Qingcheng curled the corners of her lips slightly, first blew gently in Mu Lige's ear, and then said softly: "You are my dear husband~" After that, a meaningful smirk appeared on her face.
Kiss... Kiss my dear husband? !
After hearing this, Mu Lige's heart finally settled down, and a barely noticeable blush appeared on her face.
"I knew that Qingqing would definitely call me a different name..." Mu Lige couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth as he spoke softly.
Hua Qingcheng looked at Mu Lige and smiled even more happily. She knew that this man really cared about her.
To prevent Mu Lige from questioning her further, Hua Qingcheng decisively changed the subject, "Brother Li, Longlong and Fengfeng will be one month old at the end of the month. Have you decided on names for them?"
Although Mu Lige inexplicably felt that Hua Qingcheng was hiding something from him, when he heard this woman mention the child's name, Mu Lige didn't have the time to verify whether she was lying.
