After arriving at Yueting Nanshe Garden, Mu Lige accompanied Ye Maochun to bask in the sun, sharing and exchanging experiences of pregnancy. Feng Lingyan, who was standing nearby, also chimed in from time to time, and the three of them got along very well.
They met in a hurry at Tai'an Restaurant in the city yesterday at noon, and there was no suitable opportunity at the banquet last night. Hua's mother didn't have time to say many things, but now that she saw her daughter again after many days of separation, she gave her a lot of instructions and advice.
Hua Qingcheng smiled and responded to Hua Rongsheng's earnest advice. Although her relationship with Hua Rongsheng wasn't as close as her relationship with Ye Maochun, she recognized her adoptive mother from the bottom of her heart and truly respected her as her own mother. Hua Qingcheng also accepted all of Hua Rongsheng's care and love.
Si Chengfeng had been sitting quietly beside Hua Qingcheng, smiling without saying a word. Being able to accompany Hua Qingcheng like this and seeing the happy smile on her face, Si Chengfeng felt very satisfied.
After a while, Situ Ye, Han Yichen, Yu Xiaotian and Wu Chen also arrived. After greeting Feng Lingyan, Hua's mother and father, they also joined Hua Qingcheng and others in chatting. The atmosphere was warm and peaceful.
As for the left bank of the East Palace, who was entrusted by Hua Qingcheng to be Si Chengfeng's dowry servant by Feng Mansion, he sat quietly not far away.
Zuo An, dressed in a black suit and a gold belt, always had a cold expression on his face. He didn't join in the fun with Hua Qingcheng and her husbands. He crossed his arms, his unsheathed Frost Sword tucked between them. However, from time to time, Zuo An would cast a cold glance at the woman chatting and laughing in the crowd...
The General's Mansion was no ordinary courtier's residence. The General's study, in particular, held confidential court information, including the Laifeng Kingdom's military deployments. It was a place not to be approached or set foot in lightly. Outsiders were required to remove their weapons upon entering the General's Mansion, but Zuo'an was granted an exception, demonstrating Zuo'an's uniqueness and Feng Cailan's trust in him.
The winter sun was warm and comfortable. Hua Qingcheng and her husbands, as well as Feng Lingyan and Hua's mother and father, spent a very pleasant morning in the garden of Yueting Nanshe.
The thoughtful and considerate Yu Jingyang did not disturb them until the end of the Si hour. He came with Feng Qiyan and after chatting with everyone for a while, he invited them to Qingrong Courtyard to have lunch with General Feng and Mr. Mu.
It was another feast, with both host and guests enjoying themselves. Clinking glasses, chatting and laughing, Mu Lige, fearing that Hua Qingcheng would get drunk, kept an eye on her and generally allowed her to drink tea instead of wine.
After dinner, everyone moved to Qingrong's living room to drink tea and chat. A quarter of an hour later, after bidding farewell to General Feng and Old Master Mu, Hua Qingcheng and the others left Qingrong Courtyard and returned to their rooms for lunch.
At the end of noon, in Tingyuxuan, the east wing, the room where Mu Lige and Hua Qingcheng were.
"Brother Li, why don't you get some more sleep?"
On the bed, Hua Qingcheng raised her eyebrows slightly at Mu Lige, who was lying beside her with his dark eyes wide open.
"Qingqing, you... do you want to raise me to be as fat as Ah Hua from the headman's family?" Mu Lige pinched Hua Qingcheng's face in pretended anger.
"Ahua..."
Hua Qingcheng rubbed her chin in thought and said, "Brother Li, you told me before that Sanlang's medical skills are very impressive. It was Sanlang who healed Lao Hei when he broke his leg. It was also Sanlang who helped deliver Hua Hua, the daughter of the village head, when she had eight difficult births."
"Yes, that's right, that's indeed the case." Mu Lige lowered his eyes slightly and then opened them again, without denying it.
"Brother Li, you're so mean! I only found out later that Lao Hei was the bitch from Aunt Qian Yi's family, and Ah Hua was the boar from the headman's family!"
Hua Qingcheng propped up her head with one hand, the corner of her lips slightly raised as she lay on her side facing Mu Lige. With her other hand, she gently pinched Mu Lige's ear. "You're comparing me to a dog and a pig again, making fun of me. No wonder they say scholars don't use dirty words when they curse!"
"I didn't know that at the time..." Mu Lige smiled. (I didn't know you weren't the original owner)
But seeing his starry eyes shining and moving, and the ripples of light in them were full of sweetness and tenderness, they immediately took away half of Hua Qingcheng's soul.
(Mu Lige: Fortunately, my appearance is still acceptable, otherwise my wife would probably settle the old scores...)
"Okay...I forgive you!"
Hua Qingcheng curled her lips into a smile, leaned down, and gave Mu Lige another sweet kiss on her lips.
Pregnancy and childbirth are already hard for men, and her brother Li has to endure the hardships of carrying twins for her. She cannot empathize with him, but at least she can take better care of Mu Lige.
"Brother Li, don't worry, even if you are fatter than Ah Hua, I won't dislike you."
Hua Qingcheng held Mu Lige's face in her hands, imagining him fat as a ball, how every step he took shook the ground and his flesh trembled along with it. Hua Qingcheng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and then she shook off the goose bumps that appeared all over her body.
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Her brother Li would never...
Mu Lige:......
(This little wife must be imagining something...)
"Also, I won't let you end up like Ah Hua. From now on, I'll take a walk with you when I'm free, so that you can suffer less during childbirth..." Hua Qingcheng gently stroked Mu Lige's head and spoke solemnly and seriously.
After all, this is ancient times. Although Han Yichen is a very good doctor, pregnancy and childbirth are full of dangers. Hua Qingcheng still can't help but worry about Mu Lige. No matter what, it is always better to make more preparations.
Moreover, there has always been a question that lingers in Hua Qingcheng's mind: I don't know how this man gives birth to a child...
Happy times are always short.
After getting up from lunch break, Hua Qingcheng and her husbands, together with Feng Lingyan, Hua's mother and father, spent a pleasant afternoon in the garden of Yueting Nanshe, basking in the warm afternoon sun and chatting.
Hua Qingcheng will have to go back to the Imperial College to study tomorrow, so Yu Jingyang specially arranged for someone to prepare dinner early so that she would not have to go back to the palace when it gets dark and the road becomes difficult to walk on.
After having dinner at the Feng Mansion, Hua Qingcheng and her husbands bid farewell to General Feng and Mr. Mu, as well as Feng Lingyan and Hua's mother and father, and got on the carriage back to the East Palace.
At 2:15 pm, Wuchen arrived at the city posthouse. At 4:15 pm, Hua Qingcheng and the others also returned to the East Palace.
At the hour of Hai, the princess went to her bedroom.
After taking a bath, Hua Qingcheng and Mu Lige fell asleep in each other's arms.
"Brother Li, thank you!"
Hua Qingcheng kissed Mu Lige's lips, thanking him for arranging a pleasant ten-day vacation for her.
Then she buried her head in Mu Lige's arms, quietly enjoying the warm love from Mu Lige.
