Shen Ruoxi was a little surprised and raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why?"
Pei Yaozhou's eyes welled up, and after a while he slowly spoke: "I said I would not let you suffer the pain of childbirth again. Besides, Wanwan and Xiaoye are still waiting for us at home. We can't stay here forever."
Shen Ruoxi took Pei Yaozhou's hand and pulled him to sit on the couch.
“I see that you look unhappy today, but the ministers are urging you to select concubines again?” Shen Ruoxi asked softly.
Pei Yaozhou held Shen Ruoxi's hand and said, "You don't have to care about what they say. Everything is on the right track now. Even without me, the Great Yan Kingdom can maintain its prosperity for a hundred years. At worst, I can just quit being the emperor and we can just run away."
Shen Ruoxi was amused by Pei Yaozhou's willful words: "Indeed, everything is on the right track now, but if someone else becomes the emperor, can you guarantee that he will continue to implement your new policies?"
Pei Yaozhou was silent. In fact, he had thought about these things, but if he was asked to break his promise and betray his beloved for the throne, he couldn't do it!
Shen Ruoxi guided Pei Yaozhou's hand and placed it on her lower abdomen.
"Azhou, since this child has chosen us to be their parents, why don't we just let nature take its course and accept the gift that fate has given us."
Feeling the warmth in his palm, although Shen Ruoxi was not yet pregnant, Pei Yaozhou could feel that there was a little life that was beginning to want to come into this world.
"Let's do our best and pour all our love into this child within the limited time we have, okay?"
Shen Ruoxi's voice was like sunshine in winter, melting Pei Yaozhou's heart.
"Okay." Pei Yaozhou responded with red eyes.
The following spring, a beam of golden light fell on Fengluan Palace, and Shen Ruoxi successfully gave birth to a baby boy.
Pei Yaozhou was attending a court meeting. Upon hearing the news, he left all the ministers behind and rushed to Fengluan Palace.
It was obviously not their first time being a parent, but they couldn't contain their joy when looking at the baby.
Pei Yaozhou named the baby Yongrui. Rui means auspiciousness, and he hoped that his son would have a smooth life.
The baby has been quiet since birth, so well-behaved that even the nanny was amazed. Except for sleeping and eating, the little guy would look around curiously with his big black eyes whenever he was awake.
If Pei Yaozhou and Shen Ruoxi teased him, he would wave his little hands and make "ya ya ya" sounds continuously.
Pei Yaozhou snorted, "Why do I feel like Rui'er has something urgent to tell us?"
Shen Ruoxi touched the little guy's head and said, "In a few months, he should be able to speak."
Sure enough, five months later, the little guy opened his mouth, but the first word he said was not "Daddy" or "Mommy", but "Brother" and "Hehe".
What the hell are “brother” and “hehe”?
Pei Yaozhou and Shen Ruoxi looked at each other, thinking that it was the wet nurse who taught them. When the wet nurse heard it, she shook her head and said that she had definitely never taught the little prince to say such strange words.
Pei Yaozhou and Shen Ruoxi thought it was just the baby's mumbling and didn't pay much attention to it.
That night, the two people woke up from their dreams almost at the same time.
"Are you dreaming?" the couple asked in unison, and nodded at the same time in tacit understanding.
"I dreamed of my brother, and he called me daddy!" Pei Yaozhou felt ridiculous when he said it himself.
Shen Ruoxi's throat rolled over: "What a coincidence, I also dreamed of your elder brother, and he called me mother."
Pei Yaozhou: ...
Shen Ruoxi: …
The two of them hurriedly put on their clothes and immediately went to Yongrui's room. They saw that the little guy was not asleep either. When he saw them coming, he quickly stretched out his chubby little hands and called "brother" and "hehe".
The noise woke up the sleeping wet nurse, palace maids and eunuchs. Pei Yaozhou waved his hand and asked everyone to leave. Suddenly, only the three of them were left in the room.
Shen Ruoxi whispered in Pei Yaozhou's ear: "I heard that children have memories of their past lives before they are three years old..."
Pei Yaozhou nodded cautiously: "Just ask, maybe you'll know."
The two men came to the cradle, and Pei Yaozhou spoke first.
"Rui'er, do you have something to say to Daddy? Did you know Daddy in your previous life? But his last name was Pei?"
The babies became even more excited and babbled for a long time, seemingly saying a lot, but the only words they could understand were "brother" and "hehe".
Shen Ruoxi's eyes turned, and she suddenly thought of something.
"Rui'er, Mom and Dad have something to ask you. If it's yes, nod your head. If it's no, shake your head. Do you understand?"
The baby looked at them for a while, then nodded his little head vigorously.
"Mother asks you again, were you a girl in your previous life?"
The baby shook his head.
These two sentences are tests, just to prove that the baby can indeed understand what they say!
"Mother asks you again, do you have any memories of your past life?"
The baby nodded vigorously again.
"Daddy wants to ask you, in your previous life, your last name was Pei, and your name was Pei Yaori?"
The baby nodded vigorously again.
Shen Ruoxi and Pei Yaozhou both widened their eyes. It turned out that their son was really the reincarnation of Pei Yaori. No wonder she saw golden light as soon as the child was born.
This is the merit that was reincarnated into her belly!
Xi and Pei Yaozhou wanted to ask something else, but they saw the little guy close his eyes and fall into a sweet dream, with little bubbles coming out of his mouth.
Pei Yaozhou and Shen Ruoxi looked at each other, smiled helplessly and shook their heads.
Maybe this is fate. Our relationship in the previous life has not yet ended, so we have become a family again in this life.
