The capital was bustling with activity due to the new emperor's accession to the throne, and Su Daocheng and Pei Huan naturally did not miss any of the chaotic news.
They were not surprised by most of the news, but there was one piece of news that shocked them.
"What did you say? Can't give birth to a child humanely? How is that possible? Doctor Jiang never said he had such a problem. Which bastard said this? Capture him here!
"How dare you ruin my son's reputation? I must tear you into pieces! Hurry up, Su Daocheng, do you hear me? Capture him!"
Pei Huan supported her waist with one hand and gently placed the other hand on her slightly protruding belly. Her delicate cheeks turned red because of anger.
"Did you hear me? Hurry up and bring them back to me. Aren't you angry at how they've corrupted your son?"
Su Daocheng looked at her helplessly as she stamped her feet in anxiety, then raised his hand and held her down.
"Don't get too excited. Be careful of a miscarriage. You're expecting twins! Why are you so worried? Don't worry, everything is fine! It was your son who spread the news.
Who else in the capital would dare to mess around at this time? Only your son would dare to do that. If you want to scold him, how about I go back with you and scold him together? "
Pei Huan was dumbfounded. "How is this possible? How could Sheng'er have said that? This reputation is unacceptable. If everyone believed it, would he still have happiness for the rest of his life?"
As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. Su Daocheng was very calm and had already understood his son's thoughts early on.
"I'm telling you, you don't understand your son at all. Don't you know that he likes that little girl from the Wu family?"
Pei Huan's reaction was obviously a little slow. "Uh, ah, like him? What does that have to do with this? If his reputation were to become true, not only would Miss Wu be unwilling to marry him, even a beggar wouldn't want to."
Pei Huan was really angry. How could his own son be gossiped about behind his back like this?
Su Daocheng was helpless. Seeing her like this, he could only say it frankly.
"You should know your son's temperament best. He has been studying and traveling with Divine Doctor Jiang since he was a child. He is different from the young masters of the aristocratic families in the capital and the princes who grew up in the palace.
He is like you, a child who is loyal and affectionate. The little girl of the Wu family still needs several years to reach the age of marriage and talk about marriage.
But now, the three brothers are all very popular figures in the capital. Without such a reputation in front of them, with so many people staring at him, even if he had three heads and six arms, he would not be able to stop them.
If he accidentally gets into trouble and has to marry someone else, then he will have no happiness for the rest of his life.
So, he had deliberately spread the news so that those people would give up their thoughts.
As for the little girl from the Wu family, there is no need to worry. With our little Lingling around, she naturally won’t believe the rumors outside.
Now it all depends on whether your son can seize the opportunity and make the girl fall in love with him.
You, don't worry about it, take good care of yourself, and give birth to the baby safely. That's the most important thing."
As he spoke, Su Daocheng raised his hand and touched her belly, his movements gentle and warm.
Pei Huan finally calmed down now, understood the situation, and could only curl his lips.
"Alright, this brat has always been a bit clueless, so we need to find someone to help him out. Have someone keep an eye on him and report back on their movements."
If there are any problems then, maybe I can help.”
Su Daocheng's original intention was not to let her worry so much, but unfortunately, what he said had no say, so he had to let people do things according to her instructions, just as a way to entertain her.
So King-sang: Very good, I just have fun...
Regardless of what the people in the capital thought, Su Daocheng and Pei Huan spent several months traveling south along the waterway and witnessed the beautiful scenery along the way.
They don't go very fast, and even if they see beautiful scenery, they will stay for a while.
During this period, Pei Huan's pregnancy was very stable. Except for her belly getting bigger and her movements becoming more and more inconvenient, everything else went smoothly.
Only occasionally, they would send messages to the capital to reassure each other.
Winter has arrived in the blink of an eye, but fortunately it is not too cold in the south.
Because Pei Huan was pregnant with twins, her belly was already bigger than that of an ordinary full-term baby even though it was only seven months pregnant.
For safety reasons, we can only settle down temporarily.
They all brought a royal physician and a midwife with them, and even brought delivery supplies and a wet nurse with them.
The yard was not small. Pei Huan, wrapped in fox fur, sat under the porch admiring the red plum blossoms in the yard, with a smile always on his lips.
She was so engrossed in watching that she heard footsteps behind her. She knew who it was without even turning around.
Soon, a warm hand warmer was stuffed into her hand.
"It's cold outside, you don't have to worry about freezing, just grab a hand warmer and warm yourself up."
Pei Huan turned to look at him, "Daocheng, do you remember the first time I danced for you?"
Su Daocheng looked at the plum blossoms in the yard and knew what she was thinking. He sat down beside her and held her in his arms with his big hands.
"Of course I remember. You were only eleven at the time, and because you sneaked out to buy snacks, your mother-in-law punished you by making you dance the dance you learned ten times.
I remember it was early winter, with the first snow having just fallen. You ran out to the yard in a thick cotton coat, looking angry.
I remember very clearly that you were wearing a red dress, which reflected the red plum blossoms in the snow, and your rosy cheeks, which was simply beautiful.
I was visiting my father-in-law at the time and accidentally saw this scene. After that, I could never forget it. "
Hearing this, Pei Huan couldn't help but blushing. Thinking of his childish behavior back then, he just found it funny.
Looking at the red plum in front of me, everything seems like yesterday, but now, she is no longer the naive girl.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Naturally, Su Daocheng also felt the same way.
He gently placed a kiss on Pei Huan's head, "Huan'er, I've really wronged you over the years. You were someone who loved to laugh, play, and have fun, but since you married me, you've become bound by rules every day.
For many years afterwards, I never saw such an innocent and brilliant smile again. I wanted to do something, but I didn't know where to start.
However, it's good like this now. I can finally put down those heavy shackles and accompany you to see the beautiful scenery of this world.
I'll make up for everything I owe you little by little, okay?"
Su Daocheng was so moved that his eyes turned red along with Pei Huan's.
Pei Huan choked up, "Okay. Actually, I've never regretted marrying you for so many years. Even if I could go back and choose again, I would still choose to marry you."
