In the blink of an eye, it has been more than two months since Hua Qiancheng's head was beheaded, and Yan Shi was five months pregnant. Although the morning sickness had stopped, her stomach was already showing signs of pregnancy. Cover your stomach with your sleeves, and you can't see anything unless you look carefully.
Yan Shi and Hua Ling had already moved into the new palace, and the plaque in front of the door had already been replaced with the three characters "Prince Rui's Mansion".
On this day, Yan Shi rested from his bath and sat with Hua Ling in the gazebo in the mansion to enjoy the cool. The dumb mother brought a plate of washed grapes and put them on the table. Hua Ling picked up a grape, peeled the skin carefully and stuffed it into Yan Shi's mouth.
Speaking of which, Yan Shi didn't have anything he didn't want to eat after he became pregnant. After the morning sickness, his appetite increased, and he ate a lot more than before. Hua Ling was very happy in her heart, and she pretended to cook food for Yan Shi while in the mansion.
"The grapes are quite sweet." Yan Shi said, "You can eat them too."
Hua Ling lowered her head slightly, pointed her lips accurately on the red lips, and ate to her heart's content.
Because of Yan Shi's pregnancy, she couldn't do that indescribable thing in the first three months. After three months, although it could be done, Hua Ling cared about Yan Shi's body, and only occasionally pulled him around when he couldn't hold back anymore.
Now that Yan Shi's stomach is growing, Hua Ling is even more cautious, only daring to taste the meat residue.
After the kiss, Yan Shi's cheeks flushed slightly. Strange to say, since he didn't have morning sickness, his body felt more sensitive than before, sometimes he would think, but the little princess restrained herself at this time.
Hua Ling licked her lips, and seeing Yan Shi's slightly flushed cheeks, she couldn't let it go and pecked lightly on it: "It's so sweet, sweet everywhere."
Yan Shi glared at him. At some point, he suddenly realized that the naive little princess who was pulling his sleeves to ask for sweets had gradually changed. She seemed a little domineering and cheeky. He can't say well about this feeling, it's a bit like a kitten raised since childhood suddenly turned into a tiger one day.
Yan Shi shook his head, throwing out this weird thought.
Hua Ling fed Yan Shi a few more grapes, and after Yan Shi stopped eating, he wrapped his arms around his waist and let him sit on his shoulder.
Yan Shi closed his eyes slightly, Hua Ling gently rubbed his back with one hand, and read to him softly with the book in the other hand.
Suddenly, Yan Shi frowned and groaned.
The hairs all over Hua Ling's nervous body stood up: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Yan Shi put his hands on his stomach, and instead of showing a distressed expression, his face was filled with surprise: "Ming Ting, he moved! He just moved!" Feel the presence of this child keenly.
Only then did Hua Ling feel relieved, and slowly squatted down in front of Yan Shi, and put his hand on his lower abdomen devoutly, but after touching for a long time, he didn't feel anything, and curled his lips in disappointment: "Brother, I touched it Him, he stopped moving."
"Then you can touch it a little longer." Yan Shi's gaze was as tender as water, full of love.
Hua Ling touched for a while, but still couldn't find anything, and sat back beside Yan Shi.
"Brother, how is your health? Is there any discomfort?" Hua Ling was very worried, watching Yan Shi's expression carefully, for fear that he would deceive him.
Yan Shi gently stroked his stomach with his hands, the feeling just now was too strange, which made him overjoyed and delighted.
Seeing that he was fine, Hua Ling felt relieved a little, and called another servant: "Bring Doctor Qu here."
Not long after, Qu Liushang came over: "What's wrong, my lord?"
Hua Ling recounted what happened just now, Qu Liushang examined Yan Shi's pulse carefully, and said, "My lord's body is very healthy, and the fetus is also very healthy. It was just a normal fetal movement, and the fetal movement will become more severe in the later stage." It's getting more obvious."
Hua Ling was completely relieved, but suddenly thought of something: "Brother, you can still cover up your belly now, but it will grow completely in two months, what will you do then?" Ling said anxiously,
He grabbed Yan Shi's hand.
"The third prince hasn't left yet." Yan Shi said so abruptly.
Originally, Hua Qiancheng's case was closed, and it stands to reason that the third prince should go back, but he insisted on finding an excuse to let Emperor Chongjin stay with him for a while longer.
"What?" Hua Ling didn't know why, "What does this have to do with the third prince?"
"Presumably in a few days, there will be news from southern Xinjiang that the Wuman Kingdom has launched a war against our Dayuan." Yan Shi explained, "At that time, the third prince will borrow troops from his father, and then I will let other Someone suggested to the emperor, saying that it is best to have a prince personally go to the front line to sit in charge."
According to the original plan, the news that the third prince was killed in Dayuan had already spread to Wuman Kingdom. Presumably, King Nan had already ascended the position of the ruler of Wuman Kingdom, and now he should have attacked Dayuan under the banner of avenging the third prince.
And the news of the war must have come back in eight hundred miles in a hurry, and it must have arrived in the next few days. As for the reason why the Southern King attacked Da Yuan, Marshal Wei would help Yan Shi hide, but he would only say that the Southern King was warlike by nature and had coveted the land of Da Yuan for a long time.
Afterwards, the third prince borrowed troops from Emperor Chongjin, and of course he would promise Emperor Chongjin some conditions. Yan Shi knew Emperor Chongjin best, even if his third prince didn't borrow troops from him, he would still order to fight Wuman Kingdom.
After he arrived in southern Xinjiang and entered Marshal Wei's barracks, he had no scruples.
Hua Ling naturally knew Yan Shi's idea, but she couldn't help worrying: "Brother, if the emperor doesn't allow you to go, what should I do if I send King Zhao or King Mu?"
Yan Shi said firmly: "Father will definitely not send King Mu there."
"Why?" Hua Ling didn't understand.
"Although the case of the father-in-law did not involve King Zhao too much, King Zhao is still stained with some dirty water." Yan Shi rubbed his belly while explaining to Hua Ling, "King Zhao was imprisoned in the mansion by his father for a month of self-reflection. , When the third prince borrowed troops, he hadn't lifted the ban at that time. As for King Mu, he will definitely find a way to solve it at that time. Don't think so much, just read to me for a while."
Qu Liushang saw that the two were getting tired of being together again, and that he was an eyesore here, so he left.
Qu Liushang didn't go back to his own courtyard but went to Jiang Qingyue's courtyard. Now he and Jiang Qingyue's courtyard are next to each other, and he can see Jiang Qingyue when he lies on the wall of his own courtyard.
Qu Liushang thinks this is the most beautiful thing Hua Ling has done.
Jiang Qingyue was sitting in the pavilion reading a book, with a cup of tea on the table in front of her.
"Master Qingyue!" Qu Liushang shouted at him from a long distance away.
Jiang Qingyue looked up at him, then turned her gaze back to the book.
"Master Qingyue is reading a book?" Qu Liushang sat down opposite Jiang Qingyue unceremoniously.
Jiang Qingyue hummed and did not speak again.
"Oh, why am I a little thirsty." Qu Liushang picked up the cup of tea on the table, "Do you mind if I drink it?"
That tea belonged to Jiang Qingyue, he had already taken a sip, he hurriedly stopped him: "Don't drink it, I'll ask someone to bring another cup."
But Qu Liushang's hand was faster than his words, almost at the same time, he had already drank the whole cup of tea.
"This tea is a bit sweet." Qu Liushang said intentionally, "Did Mr. Qingyue add honey to it?"
Jiang Qingyue only read the book and didn't answer him.
Qu Liushang suddenly took out the book in Jiang Qingyue's hand: "Young Master Qingyue, my eyes are tired from reading carefully all the time. Let me read to you." Yan Shi read and listened.
Qu Liushang picked up the book and started to read. His voice was very pleasant when he said it, and he had a special taste when reading.
But Jiang Qingyue didn't care to listen, she frowned slightly, stood up and walked into the house.
Qu Liushang was used to it a long time ago, so he couldn't stop thinking about it. Seeing Jiang Qingyue leave, he put the book on the table and followed closely behind.
Jiang Qingyue was about to close the door after entering the room, but Qu Liushang squeezed in before he closed the door.
"You!" Jiang Qingyue's eyebrows were almost twisted into a pimple.
"I'll come and sit, too, come and sit." Qu Liushang said with a playful smile, "There's nothing to do now, it's boring to stay alone in the mansion, let's chat."
Jiang Qingyue sighed lightly: "Young Master Qu, I have told you many times."
"I know, I remember." Qu Liushang still had a smile on his face, "But Mr. Qingyue is not married and has no one he likes, so don't I still have a chance?"
Jiang Qingyue felt a little helpless, and turned away from him.
Qu Liushang didn't care about it and said: "Young Master Qingyue, have you used the incense I gave you before? Have you slept soundly recently?"
Jiang Qingyue is naturally useless, he doesn't want to get too entangled with Qu Liushang.
Qu Liushang knew it well, but he pretended to know nothing.
"I'm afraid you'll get tired of the previous flavor after using it for a long time. I've developed several more flavors that you will definitely like." Qu Liushang said in a babbling voice, "It's just that it's not ready yet. Wait until we make it." Well, I'll bring it to you again."
Jiang Qingyue just kept her mouth shut and did not speak.
"Young Master Qingyue, Young Master Qingyue, Young Master Qingyue..." Qu Liushang tirelessly called out one after another.
Jiang Qingyue finally couldn't help turning her head to look at him, and Qu Liushang chuckled: "Young Master Qingyue, are you finally willing to look at me?"
Jiang Qingyue wanted to turn her head away after hearing this, and Qu Liushang accepted it when she saw a good deal: "Young Master Qingyue, I'm just joking with you. Let's talk for a while to pass the time, or else we'll just sit around."
Jiang Qingyue's usual cold voice finally sounded: "I don't know how to chat with people. If Mr. Qu wants to chat with someone, you might as well go to someone else."
Qu Liushang hurriedly said: "Then let's not talk, let's sit for a while. As long as I am with you, even if I sit dryly, I will feel happy."
There was a ripple in Jiang Qingyue's heart. He knew that he was the most boring person, but why did he always push forward.
"Why don't we go shopping in the street?" Qu Liushang suggested.
