The Crown Princess is pregnant, a sentence lingering in the minds of everyone in the palace.
Recently, there are rumors in Beijing that men can have children, but no one has any doubts at the moment.
In the end, Queen Xiao was the first to react, "Is it true? This is such a great joy."
What she said was somewhat sincere.
If the Crown Princess is really pregnant, then...
Her son can also give up.
Thinking of this, Queen Xiao glanced aside and looked at Xue Yunqin.
The latter's expression was slightly restrained, his eyes moved, and he turned towards An Lianxi, his eyes were indescribably complicated and difficult to distinguish.
Queen Xiao was shocked.
There was a deeply hidden possessiveness in that gaze, as if...
Even if this person does not belong to him, even if there is another person's child in this person's belly, he wants to take it from his hands.
For a moment, Queen Xiao had a headache.
She didn't expect that her son would be so persistent in An Lianxi, which was far beyond her imagination. It seemed that this was not just a simple interest, but...
Really got into my heart.
Moved.
Thinking of that consequence, a trace of complicated emotions appeared in Queen Xiao's eyes, and she looked over there.
An Lianxi was stared at by everyone in the hall. He lowered his eyes slightly, saw the hand holding his, and felt convinced, then raised his eyes and swept towards the hall.
Seeing this, the others withdrew their gaze.
When all eyes on his body disappeared, An Lian Xi raised the corners of his lips and turned his face to look at the person beside him.
Xue Shiye was also looking at him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes full of encouragement for him.
The two looked at each other and smiled. Emperor Mingkang, who was the leader, said happily, "Okay, let's have a banquet."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of dancers walked into the hall, and the sound of dance music began to sound in the hall.
Everyone began to enjoy the singing and dancing, but some people still glanced at An Lianxi from time to time.
An Lianxi was calm and composed.
Xue Shinye leaned slightly closer and whispered in his ear, "Does it taste good?" If you don't like it, you can use some more when you go home.
An Lianxi nodded, "It's okay."
I didn't feel like vomiting either.
But as soon as he took a bite, he felt something was wrong and his face wrinkled. Xue Shiye quickly took the slag bucket and took it over. An Lianxi shook his head and swallowed it reluctantly.
This is a banquet, we can't be so rude, An Lianxi endured it.
Xue Shiye frowned, "It doesn't have to be like this."
An Lianxi said: "No, I just felt a little bit. I swallowed it."
As he spoke, he opened his mouth towards Xue Shiye to show him that there was nothing in his mouth.
Xue Shiye glanced over and glanced at the tip of his red tongue. His eyes moved and he said, "Okay."
In the past, Xue Shiye would have taken the people out of the banquet and returned home, but today he was still sitting in the banquet, put his arm around An Lianxi's waist, and coaxed: "Feel free to use some cushions to cushion your stomach. Come back." The government will prepare something you like to eat."
An Lianxi nodded obediently, blinked at him and said, "Is there anything else?"
He still knew Xue Shiye very well.
Why haven't you gone home yet?
Xue Shiye chuckled, "Wait a little longer."
An Lianxi: "What are you waiting for?"
Xue Shinye twirled his fingertips and said, "Go back after watching the show."
An Lianxi: "We also invited a theater troupe."
After saying that, he looked into Xue Shiye's dark eyes and instantly understood that this play was not that play. The base of his ears felt warm, "Oh."
Xue Shinye tilted the tips of his reddish ears and couldn't help but raise his hand to rub them.
An Lianxi immediately patted his hand and warned in a low voice: "Be careful." In full view of everyone here, this prince was too indiscreet!
Xue Shiye also whispered, "I touch my own princess, what should I be careful about?"
An Lianxi glared at him and stopped talking.
Xue Shiye took a cup and poured some. He never let An Lianxi drink more of this. "Would you like to drink it?"
Knowing that he was trying to coax him, An Lianxi shrugged, "Huh."
Xue Shinye raised his eyebrows and moved his fingertips slightly, but was stopped before he could move the cup away. An Lianxi moved his cup towards him and looked at Xue Shiye.
"The Crown Princess is willing to accept my flattery?"
An Lianxi went to drink the fruit drink, and after only one sip, he said, "It's too little, I won't accept it."
Xue Shiye suppressed a smile, "Then what should we do?"
An Lianxi didn't answer and let him go on his own.
Just at this moment, there was a commotion in the palace. One of the dancers stumbled and something fell out of her arms.
Emperor Mingkang took a closer look. Isn't that the little statue that Xi'er gave him?
When the dancer saw what had happened, she quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Your Majesty, please have mercy on me."
When the guards saw that something was wrong, they all gathered around. All the dancers knelt on the ground and shivered, and kept trying to stay away from the dancer just now.
Emperor Mingkang stood up and stepped down from his seat. Eunuch Gao quickly stepped in front of His Majesty and stepped forward to pick up the small statue and inspect it.
An Lianxi was also surprised when Xue Shiye patted the back of his hand.
"What's going on?" An Lianxi asked, and after asking, he thought of what the other party said just now.
It turns out that the 'drama' has already begun.
Eunuch Gao picked up the little statue and twisted it slightly, and the neck of the little clay man was loosened.
Then, there was a flash of silver light, and everyone looked down and saw that the belly of the clay figure was empty, with many silver needles placed inside.
'hiss--'
There was a sound of gasping in the hall.
Nowadays, no one in the entire palace knows that the Crown Princess gave His Majesty two villains. I heard that they were made by the other party himself, so His Majesty liked them very much. One was placed in the Imperial Study Room, and the other was placed in the Chaoyang Palace.
And what Eunuch Gao is holding now is the one in Chaoyang Palace.
"What's going on?" Emperor Mingkang looked directly at the dancer.
The dancer said "Ah", trembling her lips and said: "Return to your majesty, slave... I just saw that this little man is exquisitely made, and I want to take a look at it. It's really..."
Before she could finish her words, she suddenly heard a cold snort, and the dancer immediately fell silent.
Eunuch Gao understood what the emperor meant, "If someone comes, slap him."
What do you want to take a look at? This is something that a slave can see, and when you open it, it is actually filled with silver needles.
Emperor Mingkang stared at the little clay figure with silver needles in his belly with a gloomy expression.
At this moment, a guard came outside and presented an identical one.
Concubine Li, who was sitting at the table, suddenly changed her expression and looked towards Xue Shiye.
Her plan...
Has it been exposed?
Queen Xiao's expression was indifferent, "Your Majesty, someone is trying to harm you."
Emperor Mingkang glanced at Empress Xiao coldly but said nothing. He took the little man sent by the guard and looked at it. He opened the head and found that it was also filled with silver needles.
He slammed things to the ground.
Li Fei's pupils narrowed.
How could it be... there are two identical villains stuffed with silver needles.
The guard said: "Back to Your Majesty, this was found from Concubine Li's palace."
Emperor Mingkang looked coldly and said, "Concubine Li, please explain to me."
Concubine Li stood up and said, "Who allowed you to search my palace? Your Majesty, this is definitely not the work of a concubine."
At this time, Emperor Mingkang took out another clay figure from his sleeve. There were three of the same figure.
Li Fei's eyes widened immediately.
An Lianxi also opened his eyes wide. He couldn't see clearly from a distance, but An Lianxi remembered that the villain he made was clearly solid.
But what was thrown on the ground... was hollow and filled with silver needles.
An Lianxi turned to look at Xue Shiye.
Xue Shiye stood up slowly and said, "Father, I will take the crown princess to retreat first."
Emperor Mingkang waved his hands to the two of them, "Go down."
Just as the two of them were walking out of the palace.
Concubine Li said: "Your Majesty, since this villain was presented to Your Majesty by the Crown Princess, it is the Crown Princess who should explain it, right?"
Xue Shiye half-smiled but said, "Concubine Li, do you really want the lonely crown princess to explain?" After saying that, he led An Lianxi outside.
Concubine Li looked stern, "Your Highness, what do you mean?"
Anger appeared on Emperor Mingkang's face: "That's enough."
Concubine Li raised her eyes and looked at Emperor Mingkang.
Emperor Mingkang waved his hand, and a guard dragged two people through the door.
When Concubine Li saw it, she immediately became exhausted.
These two were the chamberlains of Chaoyang Palace whom she bribed.
However, aren't their families firmly under his control?
Concubine Li shook her head repeatedly, "Your Majesty, please listen to my concubine's explanation."
Emperor Mingkang sneered coldly: "You want to explain now? Humph, it's already too late."
Empress Xiao frowned, how could this concubine Li's methods be so inferior? No wonder she couldn't achieve anything big.
Concubine Li glanced towards the queen and was about to say something when she saw Queen Xiao take out a jade pendant from her sleeve.
It was the jade pendant that Xue Muchen carried with him.
Li Fei's pupils trembled.
At this time, Xue Yunqin also stood up, "Father, my sons and ministers also took their leave first."
Emperor Mingkang waved his hand.
Xue Yunqin left Mingyu Hall and looked forward, his expression disappearing in the gradually dimmed corridor.
After walking far away from Mingyu Palace, An Lian asked Xi, "What's going on?"
Xue Shine said: "Some people are trying to be smart."
An Lianxi: "Why did Concubine Li want to harm me?"
Xue Shiye was silent and carried the person into the carriage. "It was me she wanted to harm. Xiaoguai was implicated."
Precisely because she couldn't find any flaws in him, Li Fei started from An Lianxi's side. This was originally a seamless plan. It's a pity that the Shadow Guard Camp is very good at detecting information, and the situation inside and outside the palace is in Xue Shiye's hands.
Next......
It's Xue Yunqin.
An Lianxi was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "He wants to harm you?"
Xue Shinye responded, "Well, it's all my fault."
"Why is it your fault?" An Lianxi frowned further, "It has nothing to do with you, it's them who are at fault."
Xue Shiye said softly: "Aren't you afraid, little darling?"
An Lianxi shook his head, "There is nothing to be afraid of."
After speaking, he pursed his lower lip and continued.
"Anyway... you will always protect me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was captured by the impatient Xue Shine on the lips and kissed him deeply.
An Lianxi raised his head and stretched out his hand to hug him back.
After a long time, Xue Shiye let him go and said, "Before today, I sent someone to talk to my father."
Although Emperor Mingkang would definitely choose to stand on his side without reservation, Xue Shiye had already been prepared.
even......
As early as he discovered Li Fei's little behavior, he had already informed Emperor Mingkang.
The families of the two chamberlains today were actually in the hands of Emperor Mingkang, who had already been rescued from Concubine Li.
Therefore, today's episode is just a joke and a farce from beginning to end.
But in this farce, Queen Xiao remained alone.
Because Li Fei was the only one who planned all this from beginning to end.
Empress Xiao didn't lose anything in this regard. She even made preparations in advance. If Concubine Li bit her back, she could use Xue Muchen as a hostage.
After all, Queen Xiao was very scheming to be able to take over the position of queen among so many concubines in the harem.
But she didn't take action in the end, and Xue Shiye finally cared about the little affection he had here, but this little affection ended here.
Xue Shiye hugged the person in his arms tightly.
An Lianxi said: "It turns out that the emperor also knows about it."
Xue Shiye did not say clearly whether Emperor Mingkang was the Emperor of Dacheng, but he later found out a lot of things.
For example, rumors spread throughout the court that Xue Shiye was neglecting government affairs. Xue Shiye's reputation obviously increased after the disaster relief work in the southern border, but why did so many ministers become incited and have objections to him overnight?
The source behind this happened to point to Concubine Li, and most of the ministers who had objections were from the second prince Xue Muchen.
Why would Li Fei do this?
One is because of the Queen's instruction, and the other is also to deal with Xue Shiye.
Who would have expected that Xue Shiye, with Emperor Mingkang's full trust, would securely take the position of crown prince.
Li Fei gritted her teeth and then made arrangements.
But she was exposed after all.
Concubine Li was deposed. As for the final disposition, Emperor Mingkang just said that she would be detained in the cold palace and would not interfere.
It is not known whether the people who finally stayed in the cold palace are healthy.
An Lianxi didn't know anything about it, "Fortunately, you noticed it in advance." Otherwise, it would have been a disaster.
Xue Shiye rubbed his hair and said, "Don't worry."
An Lianxi nodded, "Yeah."
Xue Shiye asked him: "Are you hungry?"
During the dinner just now, An Lianxi felt a little unwell, so he didn't eat a few mouthfuls. He even drank only a small glass of fruit drink. He was indeed a little hungry now.
"Go home for dinner."
An Lianxi: "Okay."
After the two returned to the Prince's Mansion, they had another dinner. The cook in the Prince's Mansion always cooked what An Lianxi liked to eat, so An Lianxi still ate a lot.
Xue Shiye still had some things to do, so he went to the study first.
An Lianxi stayed alone in the room.
First, he walked around the room twice to eat.
It was too cold outside. An Lianxi held a small heater in his hand, which Xue Shiye had given to him when he went out just now, in case his hands would get cold.
If Xue Shiye was there, An Lianxi would usually not be cold. As long as he leaned against him, his hand would be grabbed.
An Lianxi said to Wen Mu, who was still waiting, "Wen Mu, go down and rest first."
Wen Mu said: "When His Highness the Crown Prince comes back, I can go down again."
An Lianxi waved his hand, "It's okay, I won't go out in the room. You can go and rest."
Seeing his persistence, Wenmu knew that he could not compete with his young master, so he obediently left the room.
After he left, An Lianxi glanced at the door that had been closed, and walked around a few more times, feeling full.
He walked to the inner room, walked around behind the screen, and looked down at himself.
The last time Divine Doctor Duan came over to check his pulse, he estimated the time. It was already almost two months when he was found to be pregnant. Now that so much time has passed, he is almost four months old.
An Lianxi lowered his head and looked, feeling that his belly was a little bulging...
It may be that he is relatively full.
However, Divine Doctor Duan also said it.
It usually takes four months for pregnancy to show up, or it may really be...
An Lianxi lifted his clothes and looked carefully.
There are slight fluctuations, but it is not very obvious and cannot be seen without looking carefully.
"I haven't dreamed about you for a long time. Do you miss daddy?" An Lianxi lowered his head and said with a focused expression.
He had discussed it with Xue Shiye a long time ago, because they are both men, and there should be a distinction between them when the baby calls them in the future.
Therefore, when the baby is born, he will call Xue Shiye father, and he will be called daddy. An Lianxi is very satisfied.
Since he first dreamed about the small ball of light last time, An Lianxi also dreamed about it once or twice.
The small, round ball rubbed against his fingertips, it was so cute.
That was his baby, An Lianxi could feel it.
Also because of the baby, he is no longer afraid of headaches.
An Lianxi thought, a slight smile appeared on his lips unconsciously, "Baby, little ball of light."
He thought for a moment, "From now on, your nickname might be Xiaotuanzi."
"Xiaotuanzi, would you like to come to Daddy's dream today?"
As he was talking, he heard another voice in the room, "What are you doing?"
Xue Shiye didn't know when he came back.
An Lianxi looked up and paused.
Xue Shiye was also stunned when he saw him.
An Lianxi's fingers were still hooked on his clothes, and the bit of belly exposed was dazzlingly white.
Noticing his gaze, An Lian Xi shook his fingertips and put the clothes back.
Xue Shiye walked over, his eyes still glancing down as if there was no trace of anything, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Are you looking at the baby?"
An Lianxi said "Yeah" Pausing, "I'm looking at Xiaotuanzi."
Xue Shiye followed his words and murmured: "Xiao Tuanzi?"
An Lianxi's attention was diverted. When he heard him ask, he said what he had just been thinking about, "The nickname I gave him."
After saying that, he raised his eyes and asked, "Isn't it cute?"
The little dumpling is cute, and so is the nickname.
Xue Shiye: "Yeah."
His voice was rather careless. Now he was approaching An Lianxi. He was tall and tall. As he got so close, An Lianxi felt as if he was being caged by him.
"Just now, were you looking at Xiaotuanzi?" Xue Shiye asked him.
An Lianxi nodded.
Xue Shiye continued: "How is it?"
An Lianxi: "How about what?"
Xue Shiye asked patiently: "Is there any change?"
Variety......
An Lianxi thought of what he had just seen.
He was silent for a moment, then whispered: "It seems... a little big."
Xue Shiye's throat/head moved, "Huh?"
An Lianxi pointed to his abdomen.
Xue Shiye looked at him with dark eyes.
"let me see."
Sure enough, after hearing this, An Lianxi turned away and said, "Just take a look."
Xue Shiye is Xiaotuanzi's father, and An Lianxi always has to be watched.
Because of what happened last time, he hadn't let Xue Shiye see it for a long time. It was very difficult for him to change something this time, and he couldn't stop it.
even......
An Lianxi also wanted Xue Shiye to see the changes in Xiaotuanzi.
Xue Shiye squatted down in front of him.
The earth dragon was burning in the room, which was very warm. Even if the clothes were slightly lifted, it was not very cold.
However, An Lianxi was still stunned when he saw Xue Shiye squatting down like this.
Xue Shine said: "It's a bit."
was recognized.
It was indeed not his illusion.
"Maybe I'm too full." An Lianxi still had to say something.
Xue Shine said: "Dr. Duan also said that she is almost pregnant."
It just so happened that Emperor Ming Kang was going to make an announcement tomorrow at the court meeting, and An Lianxi was not afraid of being seen to be pregnant.
Hearing this, he replied softly: "That should be it."
Xue Shiye also responded in a low voice, "Yes."
An Lianxi lowered his head and said, "Get up."
After reading it all, I still can't get up.
An Lianxi reached out to put his clothes back, but Xue Shiye asked him, "Is it cold?"
An Lian scoffed, "It's not very cold."
Xue Shiye chuckled, "Then take another look."
An Lianxi was stunned, "No, no."
The last time I saw it, I was still under the covers, so it was different from now.
An Lianxi was a little embarrassed by what he saw, "Don't look at it. I'm just pregnant. What's there to see?"
Xue Shiye said: "It looks good."
An Lianxi wanted to shoot him.
With this thought in mind, he actually stretched out his hand to pat him, and then his wrist was grabbed.
Xue Shiye kissed his fingertips with his eyes lowered, looking very pious.
An Lianxi was stunned for a moment and stopped patting him.
The clothes were put down, and Xue Shiye arranged them for him. An Lianxi looked at it. Inexplicably, he felt a little disappointed.
When Xue Shiye stood up, An Lianxi's eyes fell elsewhere.
"Go to bed," he said. "You have to go to morning service tomorrow."
Xue Shine said: "There's no rush."
An Lianxi turned his head back in confusion.
Xue Shiye took him to the couch.
Not in a hurry, he took him to the couch.
An Lianxi's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.
Xue Shiye said: "Let's take a look."
An Lianxi: "..."
The next day, Xue Shiye went to the morning court.
Today is the meeting of the great court, and it is also the day when Emperor Kangxi of the Ming Dynasty announces his announcement to the world. Naturally, he has to go and receive the order.
An Lianxi is still sleeping.
About an hour later, Wen Mu knocked on the door, and An Lianxi responded vaguely, "Come in."
Wen Mu was stunned for a moment, "Young master, haven't you gotten up yet?"
Usually the young master will get up around this time when the prince leaves.
"Master, please go to sleep." Wen Mu thought and closed the door again.
An Lianxi heard the sound of the door being closed and opened his eyes.
He looked at the bed curtains, looking around aimlessly.
Xue Shiye...
I really can't believe what he said.
An Lianxi sat up and took a look. There were several red marks on his stomach, "This bastard..."
After saying something in a low voice, he put the clothes back.
Finally, I remembered something again, and my ears turned red.
What do you mean a few more days...
An Lianxi recalled the last time when Divine Doctor Duan came to see him, Xue Shiye stopped him when Duan was about to walk out of the door.
At that time, he thought Xue Shiye had something important to ask, but it turned out that he was asking the other party...
When can they sleep together?
Duan Xu couldn't say anything, but he still said, "Four months will pass before you can have sex properly."
Xue Shiye wrote it down carefully.
One note to this day.
Yesterday, I was actually counting the days and helping An Lianxi recall Duan Xu's words.
An Lianxi buried himself in the quilt.
Xue Shiye himself said it didn't count, so he had to ask him, "Don't you want it, little boy?"
An Lianxi simply didn't know how to answer him.
What does he mean by not thinking about it?
When he didn't speak, Xue Shiye continued, "I think so."
An Lianxi's ears almost started to bleed when he heard it, and now he feels flushed and hot when he thinks about it.
Xue Shiye finally said something muffled into the crook of his neck.
"It suffocates me to death..."
An Lianxi couldn't remember what else he said next. He was confused by the kiss.
