April 21st, early morning.
Accompanied by the loud crowing of a hen coming from the Fanyin Pavilion, Hua Qingcheng, who was sleeping in Xiaoyaojuli and Zuoan's arms, slowly woke up.
Hua Qingcheng took a look at her sleeping posture, then took her hand away from Zuo'an's waist and pushed away the guy's long legs that were resting on her.
"Am I crazy? Why can't I help myself?"
Hua Qingcheng shook her head, feeling incredibly insecure about the affectionate relationship she had with this man last night. She knew she should stay away from him, but for some reason her body wouldn't obey her. She even felt a faint sense of wanting more. If she hadn't considered that he was pregnant, she would have been able to enjoy herself even more...
Just as Hua Qingcheng was mumbling to herself, the man beside her suddenly opened his eyes and said leisurely, "Isn't Your Highness going to the Golden Palace to attend the morning court? If you keep mumbling, I'm afraid you'll keep the Emperor and all the civil and military officials waiting for a long time."
Zuo An's voice was cool and soothing, with a hint of laziness as if he had just woken up, and a hint of playfulness, as if a feather was gently tickling Hua Qingcheng's heart.
"Ahem, I have my own ideas. Why should I bother with you, a man from the backyard? Men should stay out of women's official business and take good care of your baby!"
Hua Qingcheng's output was crackling, but it sounded less majestic and more peaceful.
Then, she got up from the bed, quickly put on her clothes, casually tied her hair into a high ponytail, and left quickly.
Looking at Hua Qingcheng's slightly embarrassed back as if she was escaping quickly, Zuo An couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
After their interaction last night regarding the practice of Qinggong and their affectionate night together, he was absolutely certain that this woman was indeed Hua Qingcheng...
When Hua Qingcheng went to the morning court, a carriage was slowly driving out of the East Palace. After leaving the palace, it headed towards the General's Mansion in the east of the city.
"Mother, wouldn't it be bad if we leave without saying goodbye?" Ye Maochun asked hesitantly in the carriage.
"Oh, oh, oh..." (That's right, why do you want to leave when you are living here well?) Hua Qingguo, who was held in Ye Maochun's arms, immediately spoke.
After all, he was still a baby and couldn't walk. If he wanted to see his sister, he had to be accompanied by an adult. Now that his parents had left the palace, it wouldn't be so easy for him to see his sister again...
Thinking of this, Hua Qingguo simply opened his throat and burst into tears. After all, he was just a baby now, and he no longer had to suppress his true emotions in order to act as a spy like in his previous life.
Hua Rongsheng sighed slightly and said, "Return her father, Xiao Qingguo. Qingcheng is already a princess after all. It's not appropriate for us to live in the East Palace all the time, and it will easily give her something to talk about."
Hua Rongsheng's tone was filled with reluctance and helplessness. Of course, the main reason was that their daughter had become estranged from them, so they might as well stay away and not bother her.
After half an hour of bumpy ride, Hua Rongsheng and his party's carriage arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion.
The guards at the door let him pass without stopping him.
The housekeeper quickly arranged for people to serve tea in the front hall and went to report to the master Yu Jingyang.
After Yu Jingyang learned the news, he personally led the people to Yueting Nanshe, and the group chatted in the pavilion in the garden.
Ye Maochun, with his sharp eyes, quickly noticed that Yu Jingyang's belly was slightly bulging. "Is Mrs. Yu Gui pregnant?"
Yu Jingyang smiled slightly and said, "Brother Ye, you can call me brother-in-law or just call me by my first name. We are all family, there is no need to be so formal."
Ye Maochun said a little embarrassedly: "I will have to bother you here for a few days, I..."
Yu Jingyang smiled and shook his head. "Don't mention that Big Brother Ye is Qingcheng's adoptive father. Just because you are the adopted son of my mother-in-law and father-in-law, this General's Mansion is Big Brother Ye's home. Naturally, you can stay as long as you want. How can you say I'm disturbing you? Besides... my uncle will be very happy to know you're here."
"Jingyang is right." At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly came from the front. Ye Maochun turned his head and saw Feng Lingyan in a white brocade dress walking towards them.
After Feng Lingyan exchanged a few words with Ye Maochun's wife and husband, she carefully took Hua Qingguo from Ye Maochun's arms.
"Brother Ye, sister-in-law, Qingguo is such a handsome child! He is the perfect combination of your strengths." Feng Lingyan looked at the little guy with big black eyes lying in her arms, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, her love for him was beyond words.
"Hmm..." (My sister's father is so young and handsome. They don't look like father and daughter at all. They look more like brother and sister!)
Hua Qingguo hadn't expected to meet the world-renowned Young Master Feng in this way. He gazed infatuatedly at this handsome man, who bore a striking resemblance to Hua Qingcheng, and couldn't help but grin. His gaping, toothless jaws, with a little saliva oozing from the corners, immediately amused Feng Lingyan.
"Brother Ye, your son is not only handsome, but also smart and cute. He is really likable..." Feng Lingyan liked Hua Qingguo more and more as he looked at her. He directly wiped the saliva of the little guy with his sleeve without any disgust.
When Hua Rongsheng's wife and husband saw their son being praised so much, especially by Feng Lingyan, their hearts suddenly felt as sweet as if they had eaten honey.
Yu Jingyang also spoke at the right time: "Brother, I have an idea. Why don't you adopt this child as your adopted son? In this way, wouldn't you have both a son and a daughter?"
Feng Lingyan was enlightened upon hearing this. He excitedly said to Hua Rongsheng and Ye Maochun's wife and husband, "Lingyan thinks Jingyang's proposal is very good. I wonder if Brother Ye and Sister-in-law agree?"
