Duan Changchuan and Yun Xie walked outside for a while, breathing some fresh air, and finally felt much better.
Yun Xie was afraid that he would be lonely in the carriage, so he said something to Feng Yan and followed Duan Changchuan into the carriage.
Piles of lotus pods and lotus flowers were stuffed into the carriage, along with a number of freshly picked lotus leaves. Suddenly the carriage was filled with a refreshing fragrance with a hint of water vapor.
The young man peeled a lotus seed and threw it into his mouth, saying to him, "When we get to the temple, how about using the lotus leaf to make a lotus leaf chicken?"
Duan Changchuan: …
Go to the temple to make lotus leaf chicken... he actually came up with this idea.
I rolled my eyes at him and said, "Even if I am the emperor, I cannot eat chicken in the temple."
Yun Xie choked: "That's right... Then I will be the same as you tonight."
Duan Changchuan: "What are you like?"
"I'm alone in an empty room. My aunt is probably going to worship Buddha. She definitely won't sleep with me."
Duan Changchuan: …
This person originally couldn't stop talking about his aunt every three sentences. After he started talking about dirty things, he started talking about dirty jokes related to his aunt every three sentences.
"Hey, let me ask you a question."
This person suddenly leaned close to his ear again...
Duan Changchuan's alarm bells rang: "What... problem?"
Yun Xie: "Have you touched her?"
Duan Changchuan:
No response: "What did I touch her?"
As a result, a certain slut just thrust out his chest and said, "Here it is."
Duan Changchuan: …!!
In hindsight, it seems like he never thought about it
He has always regarded himself as a gentleman in this world. Ever since he inherited the throne at a young age, he has always focused on political affairs. He later "married" because of the humiliation of the regent, so of course he never thought about this aspect.
In another world, he has always been an Omega, born to be submissive to Alphas. Even when he is naked, he wants to be touched, and of course he would never think of touching the other person.
The boy widened his eyes...
It's obvious that he has never thought about this.
Yun Xie sighed helplessly: "You have never thought about it... Hey, I really want to touch it... But she won't let me touch it. She won't let me touch the key parts. Is your girl like this too? Why? I gave her that... Can't she let me touch it? I am a man after all..."
Duan Changchuan: "It has nothing to do with men, you are just lustful."
Yun Xie: "… What's wrong with being lustful? Men are lustful by nature. I don't believe that you are not lustful for your queen at all."
Duan Changchuan froze when he heard this.
He is an Omega, and although he has some lustful thoughts towards Alpha, he mostly wants to be lusted after.
Of course, none of this can be said.
So the boy coughed twice to cover up, then looked away embarrassedly.
"Of course I won't lust after her."
…
-
At night, they stayed in a temple as they wished, which was nearly halfway to the villa.
The vegetarian dinner tasted good, but it was still vegetarian. Duan Changchuan was pregnant and started to feel hungry soon after nightfall.
I don’t know why, but all I could think about in my head was the lotus leaf chicken that Yun Xie had talked about during the day.
In particular, the lotus leaves picked during the day were placed in the room, and the fragrance wafted out, making him even more greedy.
Just as he was tossing and turning and unable to sleep, Changle's voice suddenly rang out from outside, whispering, "Lord Yun, why are you here?"
"Where's His Majesty? I'll take him to eat something delicious."
"What delicious food... But His Majesty has already fallen asleep. We have to wake His Majesty up. His Majesty has been sleeping very restlessly recently, and it took a lot of effort for him to fall asleep."
"Oh, I see... My aunt said she was worried that His Majesty might eat too much vegetarian food tonight, so she asked me to take him out to eat something."
"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I will tell His Majesty tomorrow."
Duan Changchuan got up from the bed halfway through listening and stood outside the door to listen quietly.
When he heard Yun Xie say that he was leaving, he immediately pushed open the door.
"I haven't fallen asleep yet..."
He said.
After he finished speaking, he realized that he seemed a little too anxious, so he quickly made up for it: "I was hungry just now, and was about to ask Changle if he had anything to eat, when I heard you talking."
Yun Xie didn't have any doubts, and immediately came over with a smile and held his hand: "It's just right that you haven't slept yet, come here quickly! Your husband is very thoughtful. When he heard that we were going to stay in the temple, he specially asked his aunt to prepare some delicious food for you."
Hearing that it was Bai Su who gave the instruction, the young man stopped being shy and followed him out of the yard.
"Bai Su... well, what did aunt prepare for me?"
"Auntie specially had someone set up a tent outside the temple so our cook can cook inside. Didn't we pass by a farmer's house on the way here? I went in and saw that they were killing rabbits. I bought a few and asked the cook to roast them for you. They should be roasted by now! We picked a lot of lotus leaves, and they even made a lotus leaf rabbit. It smells so good! Let's go, I guarantee you'll like it."
When he heard that there was meat to eat, Duan Changchuan's mouth immediately began to water.
If he said that in the past, what was not available in the imperial kitchen? He had never really been greedy for anything, but he didn't expect that after getting pregnant, he would be so... concerned about food.
So, the Omega, who was more than four months old, walked up the stone steps on the mountain, no slower than Yun Xie.
The tent that Feng Xian had people set up was not far from the temple, and they arrived there while they were talking.
The aroma of barbecue wafted out from inside.
When we entered the tent, we saw a roasted rabbit on a wooden stick. The skin was roasted to a golden brown and the outside was sizzling with oil.
Because Duan Changchuan's figure was a little prominent, there were not many people assigned to the camp, only two cooks.
Seeing the young man in bright yellow, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I bow to you. May your Majesty be well."
"Everyone, get up."
Duan Changchuan said this and slowly walked to the roasted rabbit.
Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly smelled a faint scent of peony amid the fragrant meat aroma.
Suddenly, the whole person was stunned.
This is... the smell of pheromones.
He immediately turned around, opened the tent, and hurried out.
She is coming...
Is she here
[elder sister…]
Yun Xie didn't know what was going on, so he quickly chased after him and ran out: "Hey! Your Majesty, where are you going? Why don't you want to eat meat!"
Following the smell of pheromones, they walked down the mountain. At first, Yun Xie was still calling him, but then he suddenly understood and was stunned for a while before hurriedly following him, holding his wrist all the time to prevent him from accidentally falling.
The young man stopped only when he was about ten steps away from the main road.
The moonlight was clear at this time. Duan Changchuan stood in a place shaded by branches, quietly looking at the stone road a few steps away.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer.
Not long after, I saw a familiar bright red figure slowly walking along the roadside.
The woman sat on a tall horse, her face covered with a long scarf that hid her mouth and nose. She looked dignified yet also had a sense of mystery that was hard to touch.
In a flash, he disappeared at the fork in the road where the two of them were.
The boy was still standing there quietly, his eyes looking straight in the direction where the man disappeared.
The eyelashes trembled slightly, and sparkling little tears were stuck on them.
Yun Xie said that she had asked her aunt to prepare food for him, fearing that he and the baby in her belly would be hungry...
[Look, she is quietly accompanying you... ]
[Duan Changchuan, don't be so useless. ]
But I heard the sound of horse hooves fading away and then coming back.
In a moment, Yanhong's figure returned to the intersection where the two people intersected.
The wind blew, and the woman's veil fluttered, revealing the helpless corners of her lips.
I asked him, “Why are you standing here?”
Seeing the half rabbit leg in Yun Xie's hand, he laughed again: "Are you eating barbecue? Why did you come out without eating properly? Are you hungry?"
The boy put his hands on his lower abdomen and said softly: "I'm a little hungry..."
"Why don't you eat properly when you're hungry... Feng Qian said you had morning sickness again today? Eat more while you feel like eating, ok?"
"Well... I know."
"Remember to wash your hands thoroughly before eating, and pay attention to hygiene when you are outside. Your stomach is in good condition now, so you must avoid getting sick from what you eat."
"Okay... I'll pay attention."
"good… "
Alpha gave gentle instructions in a soft voice, and every word sounded soft and pleasant.
Peony's pheromones disappeared without a trace the moment she came back. Perhaps she sensed him coming and concealed her pheromones.
Duan Changchuan sniffed the air gently and lowered his eyes in disappointment.
The Alpha apparently noticed his action, smiled softly, and said, "I don't have pheromones. I can't give it to you now."
The boy's ears turned red and he said "Oh" embarrassedly.
"I'll give it to you later. I'm in a susceptible period, baby."
!!!
She is also in the susceptible period
Suddenly, he felt even more embarrassed and whispered, "I... I also want that..."
"That's a coincidence."
"Yes...yes..."
The two chatted in a riddle for a long time, and when they were on the way back, Yun Xie was still confused.
"We weren't close to the main road when we came out. How did you know she was coming? And the location was so accurate? Did you hear it with your ears? You couldn't have seen it with your eyes!"
"We didn't make any noise at the time. She didn't even glance over here when she passed by. How did she find us?"
"Is there really telepathy?"
Duan Changchuan was so annoyed by him that he could only choose to explain in a way that he could understand: "… I smelled her pheromones. Pheromones can float very far, and she was in her susceptible period. Her pheromones were a little out of control, and I smelled it."
"Pheromone is what you mentioned before, the smell of peony, right? What is the susceptible period? You just said that you are also in the susceptible period? Are you releasing pheromones now?"
"The susceptible period is... a condition that Alphas experience every few months, and they need comfort from their Omegas. Married Alphas who don't get comfort from their Omegas for a long time will go into a frenzy, and may even suffer from mate-deficit syndrome and die."
Yun Xie:
"If you don't want her anymore, won't she be miserable? No wonder she treats you so well..."
Duan Changchuan: "She really can't live without me, but an Omega without an Alpha to comfort her will be in a worse condition. An Alpha can only hold on for three to five years, but a married Omega may become mentally ill within a year. For a pregnant Omega like me, if the Alpha is not around, she may become mentally ill within a few months, and end up with two dead bodies."
Yun Xie:!!!
I was so scared that I couldn't even chew the rabbit leg.
"Hey, you, don't scare me... You two haven't seen each other for a month! Are you okay now?"
He quickly grabbed Duan Changchuan's sleeve and looked at it carefully.
The young man sighed softly: "I don't have anything to do at the moment... Isn't she back already?"
"You two... In this situation, she still wants to go to Huainan? You still let her go? This is a gamble with her life! Not to mention how dangerous Huainan is, she may die there at any time. What if Huainan is not over for a month and she can't come back? Can't you think about yourself? She is the same... In these aspects, she doesn't consider you?"
The young man spoke angrily, and Duan Changchuan listened silently...
Until Yun Xie said: She doesn't even consider you.
Duan Changchuan suddenly realized that Bai Su had done a lot for him all along, but she seemed to have never told anyone about it.
He suddenly realized: No matter how much he depended on Bai Su, or how carefully and tenderly she took care of him, in the eyes of his most trusted friend, she was ultimately an outsider... an outsider whom he had only met after the wedding.
Because Duan Changchuan himself was too introverted and shy, he had not told Yun Xie and the others about those intimate and even life-threatening sacrifices.
He quickly retorted, "No, she has already considered me very much. Bai Su has always been very good to me."
Yun Xie stroked his chin thoughtfully, "Hmm... How should I put it? If I say I treat you well, then it is indeed very good... Even my aunt is not so attentive to me. But you are a delicate person to begin with, and you are the emperor, so of course I have to be more attentive."
“No… I’m not talking about that…” The young man’s eyes turned red with anxiety: “What I mean is that when she went to Huainan, she was very considerate of me… She… She knew that I couldn’t leave her because I was pregnant, so before she left, she secretly found Senior Huang and took three bowls of blood, divided it into a month’s worth and put it in my medicine… So I’ve been living very comfortably for the past month, and the severe morning sickness I’ve had recently is also because her blood has run out…”
"She is really good to me, especially good..."
Duan Changchuan spoke one sentence at a time.
Those words that had been suppressed in my heart for a long time seemed to have finally found an outlet and flowed out continuously.
"After she had her blood drawn, Master Huang held her down and wouldn't let her leave, so she stayed in the palace for a few more days to recuperate... She wasn't feeling well until she was about to return to Huainan."
"She didn't ignore me. She has always been very good to me... I was the one who was not good to her. On the day she took her blood, I was still arguing with her, but she was always coaxing me..."
By the end of his speech, his eyes were red.
Everyone who heard Yun Xie was dumbfounded.
After a long while, he stammered, "She... well... she probably didn't tell you because she was afraid you'd worry. Besides, when you were arguing with her, you didn't know she'd lost so much blood..."
Duan Changchuan sniffed: "Well, I know... I just feel very guilty... She has done a lot for me, and I have always misunderstood her. When we first got married, I was suspicious of her for a long time, and I feel... very regretful."
Yun Xie quickly handed him a handkerchief: "Alas, there is nothing we can do about what has already happened... Besides, when you first got married, you didn't even look at the situation. She had an old lover who cut her wrists for him, and you were forced to get a queen... Well, to be honest, it's not easy for you to get to this point."
After that, he tore off another piece of rabbit meat for him and said, "Eat quickly! Your sister asked you to eat well. If you really think you didn't do well before, then do it well from now on. You are only eighteen years old, and you two have only known each other for more than four months. When you live to be eighty, ninety, or a hundred years old, you will definitely think that these four months are nothing. It was just a blink of an eye."
The young man nodded in relief: "Well, I want to live with her until I am eighty... or a hundred years old."
Live to be a hundred years old and spend eighty years together.
The mountains and rivers remain unchanged, the wind and moon remain unchanged... the stars remain unchanged.
They, too, remain unchanged.
