Hua Qingcheng and her group left the General's Mansion and headed east after exiting the east gate of the city.
On the surface, Hua Qingcheng and Wu Chen were the only ones riding in a carriage, escorted by royal guards, heading to Zhaoyang State. But in fact, her other men, including her two children, were all in the space villa.
Because, Feng Lingyan, who was about to give birth, had an accident when Nalan Yunzhi left the capital to fight. Hua Qingcheng felt that she couldn't let these men of hers take the same risk, so she would feel more at ease if she kept them under her own supervision...
"Good sister, my legs are a little sore..." In the carriage, Wu Chen straightened his increasingly round belly and looked at Hua Qingcheng with a sad face.
Hua Qingcheng frowned slightly when she heard this, and she muttered to herself, "Could it be that I'm calcium deficient?"
Although Hua Qingcheng had never given birth, Mu Lige had, and she knew that during the second trimester, the fetus's rapid growth necessitated a high nutritional requirement. If the mother's intake of nutrients was insufficient, the fetus would directly exploit the father's body to meet its own developmental needs. If the father's calcium intake was insufficient, the mother would suffer from leg soreness, loose teeth, and cramps.
Thinking of this, Hua Qingcheng looked at Wu Chen worriedly, and gently massaged and beat his legs.
After a moment, Hua Qingcheng asked with concern, "How is it? Lao Liu, are you feeling better?"
Wu Chen, who was as strong as an ox but pretended to be weak, glanced at the woman beside him leisurely, and then said with a look of gratitude: "My dear sister, thanks to you for massaging my legs, I feel much better now."
Hua Qingcheng waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "Sixth Brother, you originally have a masculine constitution, yet you willingly changed your constitution to endure the pain of pregnancy and childbirth for me. I am both your wife and the mother of your unborn child, so doing this little thing is nothing."
Hua Qingcheng had witnessed Mu Lige's struggles from the early stages of her pregnancy to her birth, and she understood the hardships of being a pregnant husband. Therefore, even though she knew Wuchen was probably just using her as an opportunity to manipulate her, Hua Qingcheng didn't care about this harmless prank. Furthermore, even though she couldn't empathize, it was understandable that she was doing something for her pregnant man.
Wu Chen didn't expect Hua Qingcheng to be so easy to talk to. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, pulled Hua Qingcheng's sleeve and said coquettishly: "My dear sister, my legs are not sore anymore, but my arms are suddenly very sore!"
So, Hua Qingcheng helped Wu Chen rub his arms again.
Hua Qingcheng glanced at Wuchen helplessly, muttering to herself, how could this usually strong and healthy guy become so delicate? It seemed that pregnancy was really more difficult than imagined... However, even though Hua Qingcheng's mind was full of thoughts, her hands did not stop moving, and she continued to gently massage Wuchen's arm.
"Master, there is a tea stall ahead. Do you want to take a break?" Suddenly, Shan Zuo's voice floated over.
Upon hearing this, Hua Qingcheng lifted the curtain from the car window and said to Shan Zuo, "Alright, stop the car. Let's have everyone gather themselves and have some tea before we continue our journey."
After saying that, Hua Qingcheng stopped what she was doing and said to Wu Chen, "It's a good opportunity for you, Old Six, to move around a bit."
Wu Chen nodded, fearing that Hua Qingcheng would be tired, and with the help of Hua Qingcheng, he stepped on the stepping stool and got off the carriage.
Hua Qingcheng also took the opportunity to stretch her stiff body.
The two sat down at the tea stall and drank some hot tea.
At this time, Wu Chen noticed a vendor selling candied haws next to him, so he smiled and said to Hua Qingcheng, "My dear sister, I suddenly want to eat candied haws..."
Hua Qingcheng glanced at him and knew that pregnant men were picky eaters, so she smiled and said, "You greedy cat, okay, I'll ask Shan Zuo to buy it for you right away." After saying that, she gave Shan Zuo a look.
Shan Zuo quickly bought nine strings of candied haws, but he used a silver needle to test the poison on each string one by one. Only after ensuring its safety did he present the candied haws to Hua Qingcheng.
"You can't do it better, Shan Zuo." Hua Qingcheng nodded to Shan Zuo with appreciation. After taking the candied haws, she casually placed the six strings of candied haws on the coffee table in the living room of the space villa, and then gave one string to her and Wu Chen, and handed the last string to Shan Zuo.
"Master..." Shan Zuo looked at the candied haws in his hand, then looked at Hua Qingcheng, his eyes slightly red.
After his mother and father died, the young Shan Zuo took on the responsibility of supporting the family and taking care of his younger brother. For someone like him, how could he have a childhood?
What Hua Qingcheng handed him was more than just a string of candied haws. It was a ray of sunshine that shone into his life, a star that lit up the sky of his gloomy life.
Seeing tears glistening in Shan Zuo's eyes, Hua Qingcheng rubbed his head and said softly, "Eat. Our Shan Zuo is only ten years old after the Chinese New Year. In the final analysis, he is just a child who has not grown up yet. What's wrong with eating a string of candied haws? Do you think someone dares to laugh at you? You are kidding, Shan Zuo, you are the current princess's close bodyguard. Who is impatient with life?"
Dan Zuo's cold and handsome face cracked slightly because of Hua Qingcheng's words. The woman in front of him was indifferent to outsiders, but very kind to those she approved of. She seemed ruthless, but in fact she valued friendship and loyalty. This was why Dan Zuo was willing to risk his life for her...
Hua Qingcheng and Wu Chen rested in the teahouse for about a quarter of an hour, then got back on the carriage and told everyone to set off.
At the same time, Mu Lige and others were sitting in the living room of the space villa, drinking tea and watching TV.
"Brother, why do the layout of this house and the furniture inside look so much like our home in Huaqiao Village?" Yu Xiaotian touched the leather sofa he was sitting on, then touched the coffee table, his clear peach blossom eyes looking around curiously.
