"Prince?"
When An Lianxi heard what Xue Shiye said, he couldn't help but repeat it, his voice rising slightly.
Xue Shiye didn't seem to think there was anything wrong.
He and Xiaoguai's child is naturally the prince.
An Lianxi blinked his eyelashes. He was still a little lackluster and his head was dizzy.
Because Xue Shiye took good care of her during her pregnancy and the miracle doctor Duan was there to take care of her, An Lianxi's health has improved a lot. The process of giving birth to Xiaotuanzi this time was also very smooth, and it did not hurt the body too much, but fatigue was inevitable.
Xue Shiye brushed the wet hair from his cheek to one side and said softly: "Go to sleep."
With Xue Shiye around, An Lianxi always felt very safe.
On every sleepless night, it was all because of his company. On those days when the months were getting older, An Lianxi would often be unable to sleep, and Xue Shiye would get up and hold him to slowly coax him, waiting for him to fall asleep.
At this moment, Xue Shiye's big palm was gently stroking him. An Lianxi finally glanced at Xiaotuanzi and finally fell asleep tiredly.
Xue Shiye lowered his head and caressed his slightly frowning eyebrows. His heart ached and his eyes were full of love, but he never looked away.
until--
"His Majesty."
Over there, Duan Xu, who was holding his child, finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted twice more.
Xue Shiye then turned his head.
Duan Xu was silent for a moment: "Aren't you going to hug the prince?"
On the other side, after saying that, he turned and looked at the nanny An Lianxi who came in to bathe the prince after giving birth, and the two of them thought of going together.
His Majesty patronizes the royal husband, but the prince ignores him.
Xue Shiye was silent and said, "Well, come here."
Until Duan Xu came closer, Xue Shiye's eyes lingered on Xiaotuanzi's slightly wrinkled face for a moment.
Ugly, but if you look closely you can see the shadow of Xiaoguai, and Xue Shinye's eyes softened just now.
Duan Xu said: "Newborn children are like this, and they will be fine in a few days."
Xue Shinye responded, raised his hand, and carefully picked it up, "Is that so?"
Duan Xu taught him how to hold a baby, because it was not his first time delivering a baby, so Duan Xu had quite a lot of experience with it.
When he hugged Xiaotuanzi completely, Xue Shiye lowered his eyes and looked at Xiaotuanzi, with an unreal feeling in a trance.
Xiaotuanzi couldn't open his eyes yet, just nuzzling in his arms. Xue Shiye looked at the little boy on the couch, and his heart became tender.
This was given to him by Xiaoguai.
It's his and Xiaoguai's bloodline.
At this time, there was a voice outside. It was Emperor Mingkang who hurried here after learning that the child was born.
Xue Shiye handed the child to Duan Xu, who carried it out to Emperor Mingkang, while he stayed by the bed, waiting for An Lianxi to wake up.
Emperor Mingkang almost burst into tears when he saw the child, and said "Okay" repeatedly. Now the hair on his head is much whiter, and his fingers were trembling when he saw the little dumpling, "My good grandson."
Facing Xiaotuanzi, he abandoned the self-proclaimed "I". Emperor Mingkang's eyes were full of doting and he teased him in a low voice, "Good grandson."
Xiaotuanzi closed his eyes, listening to his grandfather's teasing, and turned his face slightly toward him. Emperor Mingkang became even more cheerful when he saw this, and he held the child happily. Because he was worried about disturbing An Lianxi, he even took his children and sat in the side hall, without any airs of the Supreme Emperor.
An Lianxi didn't sleep deeply, maybe because he had something to worry about, he woke up soon, and when he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of Xue Shiye beside the couch.
"Little boy, are you awake?" Xue Shinye's voice was a little dry. He was always paying attention to his condition, and his fingertips brushed his forehead to test the temperature.
An Lianxi took a nap for a while and gained some strength. He slowly raised his hand and squeezed his hand, "Where is Xiaotuanzi?"
Xue Shine said: "Father is holding him."
An Lianxi nodded, raised his eyes to look at him, and asked knowingly: "Then you have been staying with me..."
Xue Shiye stood up and half-crouched to the edge of the couch to be at eye level with him, "Only by guarding you can I rest assured."
An Lianxi's lips curled up and he closed his eyes. Xue Shiye seemed to feel something, leaned forward slightly, and touched his lips lightly.
An Lianxi opened his eyes and Xue Shiye looked at him.
At such a short distance, their breaths intertwined.
Soon, Xue Shiye stood up.
An Lianxi knew that Xiaotuanzi was with Emperor Mingkang, so he was not in a hurry to see him. He asked Xiaotuanzi to spend more time with his grandfather, so that he could be refreshed.
Maybe it was because he suddenly felt worried again. Emperor Mingkang, who originally wanted to go to the late empress with peace of mind, seemed to be getting healthier day by day and remained in a relatively stable state. He came to see Xiaotuanzi every day.
As the days go by, Xiaotuanzi basically looks the same every day, looking like a smaller version of An Lianxi. It's just that the eyebrows and eyes are more similar to Xue Shiye's. The father and son have exactly the same phoenix eyes.
Xue Shiye looked at Xiaotuanzi and felt quite fond of it, as if he had seen the little boy from his childhood.
It turns out that Xiaoguai looked like this when he was a child...
Xiaotuanzi, whose name is Xue Yan.
It was decided by Xue Shiye and An Lianxi together.
However, An Lianxi didn't call him by his given name very often. Sometimes he would call him 'Xiao Tuanzi', and sometimes he would call him 'Yan Yan'.
Yan Yan's character is very good, just like when she was in An Lian Xi's womb.
She hasn't made much noise since she was born. She lives in a side hall of Qifeng Palace and is sometimes picked up by Emperor Mingkang, but she doesn't make any noise. Every time I was taken there, Qifeng Palace would be extremely noisy.
Xue Shiye held it in for almost eight months. After An Lianxi recovered, Xue Shiye basically got close to him whenever he had the chance. And An Lianxi didn't refuse, but he would kick the opponent if he was pushed too hard, but most of the time, Xue Shiye would grab his ankle and kiss him.
In the end, An Lianxi had no choice but to give up resistance, and always chose to settle accounts after autumn, and drove him to the imperial study room the next day.
Xue Shiye took this opportunity to handle government affairs.
I don't know if it was intentional or not, but I arranged my time clearly.
After several attempts, An Lianxi figured out his plan, and in the end he was unable to do anything to Xue Shiye, because most of the time he would forget to care.
Just because as soon as Xue Shiye left, An Lianxi went to find his son and completely forgot about Xue Shiye.
In response to this, Xue Shizhi felt a little annoyed and felt a lot of jealousy.
In the fourth year of Shunping, Emperor Kang of the Ming Dynasty abdicated and became the crown prince in Zen.
The prince succeeded to the throne as Emperor Qian'an. In June of the same year, the emperor's husband gave birth to a prince and was crowned prince.
The following year, the country's name was changed to Yong'an.
In the second year of Yong'an, Prince Xue Yan was two and a half years old. He could already run and jump, but his speech was still a bit unclear and had a childish milky voice.
Today, his father left him to his grandfather again. Xue Yan felt that he hadn't seen his father for a while. He had two small knots on his head and was counting his fingers.
Emperor Mingkang had just finished drinking the medicine and saw him clasping his fingers seriously in the corridor. He couldn't help but walked over and asked softly: "What is Yan Yan doing?"
Xue Yan raised his head and slurred every word: "Zuzu, please, daddy."
Emperor Mingkang said: "Miss you daddy?"
Xue Yan nodded: "Yeah!"
Emperor Mingkang glanced at Eunuch Gao.
Eunuch Gao smiled and said, "Your Majesty should go to the imperial study at this moment."
"Then Zuzu, please take Yan Yan to find daddy, okay?"
Xue Yan agreed and was soon taken back to Qifeng Palace by Emperor Mingkang.
An Lianxi was also counting, guessing that Emperor Mingkang should have brought Xiaotuanzi back. Not long after, he heard the sound of Xiaotuanzi coming from outside the palace, and he quickly got up and went out.
Outside the hall, Xue Yan was waving goodbye to Emperor Mingkang, with a sweet smile on his face, but his expression was serious and rigorous, "Bye bye."
This is the way his father taught him to say goodbye.
Yuxue is a cute little dumpling, with jingling ornaments hanging all over her body, and a somewhat solemn expression, like a little adult.
At first glance, you can tell that his personality has taken after his father's.
"Yan Yan!" An Lianxi trotted out, "Father, please go back, I will just watch."
It was now time for Emperor Mingkang to take his lunch break. An Lianxi had previously thought that it was a bit late today, so he should go and pick him up.
Emperor Mingkang nodded and looked over. Although he had Yan Yan, Xi'er still had a young heart. He hugged Yan Yan, kissed her, and then left her behind, which made Xue Yan unable to hold back the serious expression on her face and burst into laughter. got up.
"Daddy, daddy."
An Lianxi only tossed it twice and then stopped, "Yan Yan is heavy again, like a pig." He would never admit that he had neglected to exercise recently.
Because of his physical strength, Xue Shiye had to pull An Lianxi to exercise from time to time after he gave birth to Xue Yan.
At first, An Lianxi only thought that Xue Shiye was doing it for his health, so that he could exercise less and get less sick. However, he underestimated Xue Shiye.
At night at the end of last month, he was pinned down on the couch by Xue Shiye and made love to each other. The two of them had been married for so long that they had used all the possible positions. Unexpectedly, Xue Shiye suppressed me that night and said with a smile in his hoarse voice: "My little boy's physical strength has improved."
Xue Shiye was probably really carried away and finished his sentence in one go.
"Last time, Xiaoguai got tired after only a few moments, but today he lasted for a quarter of an hour," Xue Shiye said, taking An Lianxi's lips and kissing her, "Xiaoguai is so amazing."
An Lianxi, who was doing the splits and letting him press him, suddenly stopped doing it.
Xue Shiye actually hid his selfish motives!
This also resulted in An Lianxi not exercising for a long time. In addition, Xue Yan's weight was really slowly increasing, and An Lianxi could not hold her for long.
At this moment, he carried Xue Yan back to the palace and sat on the small couch, with Xue Yan sitting on his lap.
"Yan Yan, are you hungry? Do you want to eat some cake?" An Lianxi asked softly.
Seeing that the little prince was back, Wen Mu also brought in cakes.
Xue Yan can't answer too profound questions yet, and his speech won't be too long either. He just jumps out with a few words, "I want to eat."
An Lianxi felt so sweet about his baby that he cuddled up to him again, picked up a small piece of soft cake and fed it to him bit by bit.
Both father and son enjoyed it very much. One enjoyed feeding the cub and took a few sips from time to time.
The other one is enjoying the satisfaction of being fed by his father and is very happy.
An Lianxi was getting excited about feeding. Suddenly, Xiaotuanzi took the soft cake from his hand and began to eat it himself.
Seeing this, An Lianxi suddenly looked outside, and sure enough he caught a glimpse of Xue Shiye entering the palace.
"Why are you sitting on daddy's lap again?" Xue Shiye strode over and picked up Xue Yan from An Lianxi's lap.
Xue Shiye and An Lianxi looked at each other and explained: "He is too heavy."
An Lianxi didn't answer.
Xue Shiye never said that.
"Still angry?"
An Lianxi glared at him, "You still said that!"
Xue Shiye lowered his head, his eyes falling on his son's hair, and he could still see Xue Yan's slightly pouty face. After hiding the smile in his eyes, he raised his head and turned to Xue Yan in his arms, "Yan Yan is really heavier again."
An Lianxi looked at him silently for a long time, and finally answered: "Children grow up fast."
Xue Shiye nodded, sat next to him in a good mood, kissed his cheek, and called him in a gentle and caring tone, "Little boy..."
This meant he had made a mistake. The tips of An Lianxi's ears felt hot and he stopped looking at him.
Xue Shiye glanced at his reddish earlobes, his heart heaving. Then, he kissed Xue Yan's cheek again, "Okay, uncle is here to play with Yan Yan, do you want to go?"
Xue Yan nodded, "Go!"
Hearing this, Xue Shiye put Xue Yan on the ground with satisfaction. At the entrance of the palace, Manager Zhang looked lovingly at the little prince who was being 'driven out', "Your Highness, our family will take you to play in the Imperial Garden."
"Uncle, uncle?" Xue Yan raised his face, with confusion in his eyes.
Manager Zhang chuckled twice and said truthfully: "I will have a rest today, Duke Shen has not entered the palace."
It seemed that His Majesty was using Duke Shen as an excuse today. Thinking of this, Manager Zhang felt quite emotional.
I wonder if any emperor in the history of Dacheng has been so clingy. Even a few generations ago, there should be no emperor like their majesty, who could not wait to be by the royal husband's side all the time.
In Qifeng Palace, An Lian asked sarcastically: "Is Shen Jue so busy these days?"
He comes to the palace every now and then.
Xue Shiye had just poured a cup of tea and was about to drink it. After listening for a while, he said, "Well, he is very free."
An Lianxi couldn't help but show doubt, but only for a moment. He knew that Shen Jue had an unstable temperament. He used to say that he wanted to be Yan Yan's master, but recently he was obsessed with traveling at sea.
But Shen Jue also really likes Yan Yan. Every time he enters the palace, he brings a lot of interesting gadgets from different places. Xue Yan was always pestering him before.
Xue Shiye's nerves were tense. When he saw the doubt in An Lian Xi's eyes gone, he felt relieved, but also a little worried.
It seems that this excuse will not work next time.
However, Xue Shiye was only worried for a short time. Soon he came closer, held the person on his lap, and raised his head slightly to look at An Lianxi.
An Lianxi had become accustomed to Xue Shiye's movements, and now he looked down at him very naturally.
Xue Shine said: "How many times did you kiss Yan Yan today?"
An Lianxi was amused for a moment, wondering why he was here again. Xue Shiye often asked this question recently. After asking, he kissed him twice as many times, and his jealousy reached a new level.
An Lianxi answered obediently two days ago. Now he was staring at Xue Shiye's focused eyes. An Lianxi said deliberately: "Too many times, I forgot."
Xue Shiye narrowed his eyes slightly.
An Lianxi knew not to make the person anxious, so he kissed him quickly and coaxed, "Okay, okay, I'll give you another one."
This time, because of An Lianxi's deliberate movements, a crisp sound of 'pop' was heard in the hall.
At this moment, there were only two of them in the palace. The palace people had all left after the emperor entered the palace, and An Lianxi was not shy.
After the kiss, he also said: "I just didn't kiss Yan Yan as loudly as I did."
This sentence means that Xue Shiye has made money both inside and outside.
But Xue Shiye didn't think so. He asked again: "Did Xiaoguai really forget?"
An Lianxi paused when asked.
Actually I haven't forgotten.
It must be because Xue Shiye kept asking questions recently, he even deliberately counted them during the kiss, but he must not tell Xue Shiye about this.
It was okay to just say it directly, but now he absolutely cannot change his words. He also wants to save face.
For a moment, An Lianxi said firmly and decisively, "Forgot!"
The next second, he was hugged by Xue Shiye, his legs unconsciously hooked around the other person's waist.
But soon, An Lianxi blushed and wanted to put it down, but Xue Shiye grabbed his thigh.
"what you do."
An Lianxi saw Xue Shiye leading him towards the inner hall, and quickly patted him, "Wait, wait, don't do this..."
Xue Shiye spoke slowly: "Little boy, I forgot."
An Lianxi looked at him with lowered eyes, "If you forget, forget it. Didn't I supply you with supplies?"
Xue Shinye laughed, "Xiao Guai, do you think that's enough?"
An Lianxi pursed his lips and kissed her several more times, "That's enough."
As he spoke, he looked into Xue Shiye's increasingly deep eyes and couldn't help but glance sideways for a moment.
Xue Shiye couldn't let him do what he did when he kissed him before.
Every time, I have to kiss him until he can't breathe before giving up.
While thinking, An Lianxi fell into the soft mattress, and Xue Shiye's figure pressed down: "Not enough."
Finally, An Lianxi was still listening to Xue Shiye ask: "Did Xiaoguai really forget?"
"N-I haven't forgotten."
Xue Shiye asked him: "How many times was that?"
An Lianxi: "...Three times."
Xue Shiye seemed to be satisfied with this answer, but his movements did not stop.
An Lianxi was about to curse, "Get off."
Xue Shiye said slowly and leisurely: "Only three times, there are two more times, little boy, you have to work hard."
An Lianxi: "..."
Work hard, no matter how hard he works.
"You...bastard."
Xue Shiye chuckled: "Well, I'm a bastard."
An Lianxi covered his face.
Sure enough, this man's jealousy He can't understand the heart. In short, he is always the one who gets hurt.
When it was almost evening, Xue Shiye stopped, while An Lianxi was exhausted and just wanted to have a good sleep.
At this time, Manager Zhang came back with Xue Yan.
Xue Shiye walked out with moisture still on his body and carried the person into the inner hall.
"Dad, go to bed." Xue Yan said.
Xue Shinye responded, "Well, so we have to keep our voices down so as not to wake dad up."
Xue Yan seemed to understand, but collapsed in his father's arms. He was tired and sleepy.
The Royal Garden is not fun at all. He has played it countless times and it is not new at all.
Xue Shiye looked at Zai'er, who was sleeping on his shoulder, and made several cuts on the skin a few inches next to his face. Thinking about how this mouth came about, Xue Shiye was in a good mood and kept raising the corners of his mouth.
He carried Xue Yan to the couch and placed him next to An Lian Xi, who had fallen asleep.
One large and one small, they looked surprisingly similar. Xue Shiye looked at them and then sat down on the bed with satisfaction. He hugged An Lianxi into his arms, stretched out his arms to tuck Xue Yan into bed, and then fell asleep.
Xue Yan slept calmly, not knowing that he was driven to the Royal Garden because of his father's dislike. He had a dream, in which he was admiring flowers in the imperial garden and Mr. Zhang leaning on the waterside pavilion to watch the fish.
It was a very tiring and boring dream, Xue Yan thought.
It wasn't until he became more sensible that Xue Yan slowly figured it out.
My father doesn't like his father holding him all the time, as this will make his father very tired. His father didn't like him pestering his father all the time, because he wanted to pester his father even more.
But his father also liked Xue Yan and doted on him at least until he was four years old.
Because after Xue Yan was four years old, Xue Shiye arranged for him to teach as a tutor, and he suddenly had something to do.
Xue Yan had two masters. One of them taught him literature, the prince's tutor, who is now the cabinet bachelor, Wang Zengyun.
There was also a master who taught him martial arts, General Xie Jing.
Xue Yan had just finished class today. When he returned, his father and dad were sitting at the royal table. My father seemed to be being scolded, and he listened.
"Dad, I'm back."
As soon as An Lianxi saw Xue Yan, he stopped caring about Xue Shiye and stretched out his hand to his little baby, "You must be exhausted, thank you for your hard work."
Xue Yan walked over and gave him a hug. Then he looked at Xue Shiye and said, "Father, I've finished studying."
Xue Shiye touched his head symbolically, "Well, did your class work go well today? What did the tutor teach you?"
Xue Yan answered 1510 times.
Xue Shiye listened, and after the father and son finished speaking, An Lianxi spoke: "Thank you for your hard work, Yan Yan."
Because there was really a throne to be inherited, Xue Yan had to start learning a lot of knowledge and practicing martial arts at a young age. An Lianxi felt distressed when he saw it.
Not to mention that sometimes he bumped into someone while practicing martial arts. Every time he looked at it, he felt heartbroken and wanted him to stop practicing martial arts. But An Lianxi knew that in this position, it would be better to have some martial arts skills at hand.
So he could only hurt Xue Yan as much as possible.
An Lianxi took the person into his arms and rubbed him, "How many bowls of rice did you eat today?"
Xue Yan responded obediently: "Two bowls."
An Lianxi kissed his little cheek. At this time, Xue Yan still had small breasts on his face, so the kiss was particularly soft.
Xue Yan was kissed by his father. The corner of his mouth raised and he quickly pressed it back, silently looking at his father on the side.
Xue Shiye was staring at the two of them.
The next day, Master Xie didn't come.
The person who taught Xue Yan martial arts became Xue Shiye.
Xue Yan heard from his father that his father's martial arts skills were very high, even better than Master Xie's. His father had taught him before, but most of the time he had no time to guide him due to busy government affairs.
"Father." Xue Yan said calmly when he saw Xue Shiye.
Xue Shiye nodded, "Let's take a horse stance first."
Xue Yan obediently obeyed.
In the afternoon, Xue Yan went back sweating profusely with a small calculation in his mind. Xue Shiye went to the imperial study room to prepare for reviewing today's memorial.
My father is in a bad mood. He may have offended his father. It must have started yesterday.
Returning to Qifeng Palace, the moment he saw An Lian Xi, Xue Yan ran over.
An Lianxi turned his head when he heard the noise and opened his hand towards Xue Yan, "You are sweating profusely. Did you practice martial arts today?"
"Yeah!" Xue Yan stretched out her little arm and hooked it around his neck, "Daddy...can you forgive father?"
An Lianxi saw that his head was covered in sweat and was wiping it with silk cloth. After hearing this, he was stunned for a moment and asked him what was wrong.
"My father taught me today." Xue Yan looked at An Lian Xi eagerly with a frank look on his face.
My father was in a bad mood, and he was the miserable one.
An Lianxi's eyes instantly narrowed upon hearing this.
Okay, I was jealous last night and tormented him for most of the night. He kicked me out of the hall early in the morning, but in the end I went to vent my anger on my son.
An Lianxi almost lost his temper and smiled. He gently touched Yan Yan's little head and said, "Well, Daddy has forgiven me. Daddy will take Yan Yan to wash up, and then we will have dinner together."
Xue Yan thought he had convinced his father, and a smile broke out on his serious face, "Okay."
That night, the emperor stood facing the closed door of Qifeng Palace for a long time and stayed in the imperial study.
