Heir
I slept on the inside of the bed with my arms on my pillows, and there was something in my mind that kept me awake, and there was a small night lamp at the head of the bed, and the wick was gently swayed by the wind.
The faint light entered the bed curtain, drifting to and fro, shaking people even more sleepy. I simply opened my eyes and turned my head to look at Changji. I stared at his face intently, listening to the sound of his gentle breathing ringing in my ears.
Changji slept very well, with his pillow hands on his abdomen, lying straight and straight, not moving like me. His thick eyelashes fluttered in the dim light, like fluttering butterfly wings, and when he looked down, you could see the bridge of his nose and his moderately thick lips. Changji's facial features are really too exquisite.
"You're so pretty."
I whispered, and couldn't help but reach out and gently scratch his nose, just like he usually scratches my nose.
I touched his eyebrows, slowly leaned over and dropped a kiss on his lips, afraid of waking him, so I quickly retracted the quilt and waited. I peeked at him, and he was still asleep and didn't mean to wake up. It was like I was doing a great prank, tense and exciting, with a little bit of excitement after I succeeded.
I patted my stomach with satisfaction, looked at the curtain above my head pleasantly, and suddenly the face of Tao Fu'er appeared in front of me, and I was startled and sat up suddenly. Tomorrow is Nandi's birthday, and it is also the date for me to make an appointment with Tao Xuer, the time is really fast, and the half moon will be over so soon.
Am I really going to risk sending her out of the palace?
What if the matter is revealed and it affects Changji. But I have already agreed, how can I go back? Besides, I do wonder what she is going to tell me about Changji.
For the past half a month, I have been restless, and every time I think about it, I am very depressed.
What secrets would she reveal to me, and who the woman in navy blue was behind her that day. Thinking about it, there have been a lot of major events in Jiankang City in recent years, and these things are connected one by one, all of them are strange, and listening to the meaning of Tao Yuer's words, it seems to be related to Changji. Really?
I closed my eyes and sighed uneasily.
Changji seemed to be woken up by my sighs, and moved slightly, and I looked up at him, but I didn't see him open. Shaoyan, as soon as he stretched out his long arms, he took me into his arms.
"Changji, are you awake?"
Still with his eyes closed, he hooked his lips and chuckled, "Well, you're too noisy." What are you thinking, you haven't slept so late. ”
Sure enough, he woke up.
I stretched out my index finger and bent it into a semicircle and scratched his nose again, and he was amused by me, hugged me tighter, rested his chin on the top of my head, and muttered, "Don't make a fuss......"
I withdrew my hand, pursed my lips and called, "Changji, are you sleepy?" If you're not sleepy, we'll talk for a while. ”
"What do you want to say?"
"The ......"
I really wanted to tell him that I had seen Tao Xu'er and that I had to help her out of the palace, but I couldn't open my mouth because I didn't know where to start. And then there is, what Tao Xu'er told me, can you tell him now?
Seeing that I wanted to speak and stopped, and there was no movement for a long time, Changji opened his eyes and looked at me, and asked softly, "Don't you have something to say to me, then say it, I'll listen."
I grinned, shook my head and said, "Forget it, it's not a big deal, it's just that I'm too bored and want to pull you to talk to relieve my boredom."
I reached out to pick up a strand of hair from the bridge of his nose, and before I raised my hand, I taught him to hold it in the palm of my hand.
The smile on Changji's lips deepened, and Zhengse said, "Don't hide it from me, I know you must have something to say." At this point, I hesitated.
After a pause, I said, "Changji, I want to ask you, is there anything you want to tell me, but you haven't had time to say it?"
Recently, he always goes out early and returns late, I don't know what he's busy with, and he hasn't revealed a word to me. I tried to ask him several times, but I taught him to divert the subject. Obviously, he also hid something from me.
He didn't say anything, so I had to try again: "You seem to be tired lately, and you always frown, is something wrong with you?" Don't be alone, you can tell me, I promise to listen carefully and never leak it. ”
Changji smiled, kissed my hand, and said gently: "You are too careful, I have nothing to do." You see I'm tired, because I've been busy preparing for His Majesty's birthday lately, and I've been annoyed by some odd things and hurt my nerves. If it is not in the way, you can be relieved. ”
I said, "Is it really for this?" Is it so tiring to organize a birthday party? Besides, isn't the Majesty's birthday ceremony handed over to the little emperor uncle to plan it all, and you still need to go out before dawn every day, day and night? I'm so busy that my feet don't touch the ground, I really don't know what you're busy with. ”
Changji smiled, pinched my face, and said seriously: "Of course it's for this, otherwise what else can it be." Okay, let's not talk about me, let's talk about you, what troubles are you encountering, annoying you so much that you can't sleep at night. You name it and see if I can help you out. ”
"It's—"
I opened my mouth slightly, hesitating. withdrew his hand from his palm, wrapped his arms around his waist again, and whispered, "I don't have many things to worry about, but there is one thing that is related to us." ”
I deliberately diverted the conversation, but after thinking about it again and again, I decided to wait and see, and it was not too late to ask him tomorrow after listening to Tao Xu'er's words.
Chang Ji was suspicious: "We? What can we do that is worth worrying about? ”
"Absolutely."
I let go of his waist, sat up straight, held my face and said melancholy: "This matter is serious, so serious that I don't think about tea and dinner, and I lose my appetite." Changji, you said, we have been married for almost three years, why is my stomach still not moving! ”
He sat up straight with me, touched the top of my head and smiled, "What do you want to do?"
I frowned and displeased, dusted his hand away, and said hatefully, "You asked knowingly."
Then he turned his back and meditated cross-legged at him, worrying on his cheeks.
"Okay, okay, I just don't tease you."
He turned me over and sat upright, and then leaned over with a handsome face with a smile.
I touched my stomach and said, "This matter is really serious, okay, how can you ignore the inheritance of the heirs and the inheritance of the bloodline." Look at Wen Er and Uncle Xiaohuang, they got married a year earlier than us, and now the children are 100 days old, and Zhao Qingyu, she got married later than us, and she also has children. Look at me again, we've been married for so long, why haven't I been. ”
"Oh, it turns out that I want to be a mother."
After speaking, Changji smiled happily, and seemed to not pay attention to what I had just said. How could he treat such a serious question as a joke. I pouted and glared at him, motioning for him to stop laughing. But he did not allow him to pay attention, and he was still happy to be self-reliant.
I was so angry that I was about to growl, but he immediately pinched my chin, kissed me on the mouth, and then let go, and whispered my name in a serious and soft voice.
My annoyance was gone, and when I thought he was finally going to say something serious, he laughed again.
I froze in my chest, rolled my eyes widely, smashed my fist on his chest, and said solemnly: "Don't laugh at me, I'm worried." As a child of the royal family, but you have no heirs for a long time, aren't you in a hurry at all? ”
Changji Waner said: "Don't be in a hurry, the coming day will be long, the child will have it sooner or later, this matter can't be panicked." You're still young, so it's not too late to have a baby in a few years. After a few years, you won't be able to give me a life if you want to. ”
I was so angry that my liver hurt, and I really wanted to give him two more punches, so I gritted my teeth and said angrily: "Phew! You're lying, I'm eighteen years old and still young, and I'm eighteen and I'm not in a hurry to be a mother? You're angry with me, right? Say, don't you want me to give you a baby? ”
Changji couldn't cry or laugh, and said with his forehead: "What nonsense are you talking about, how could I not want you to give birth to me." Isn't it that you can't conceive now, what can you do if you can't conceive? ”
"No way? Hmph—"
I pursed my lips, turned my head, and said, "I know, you did it on purpose."
Changji looked stunned and said, "Why did I do it on purpose, what are you thinking nonsense about?"
I said eloquently: "I'm not wrong, you did it on purpose, this is your premeditation, right?" You don't let me have a child, you want to have an excuse to take a concubine, right? I know the custom of your Nanzhan people, there is a cloud in the seven rules of women, and if a woman is infertile for three years, her husband may take a concubine and divorce his wife. Don't lie it to me, I know it all. You just look at me and have nothing to do, you are a concubine. ”
"Lacking, you can really think about it."
Chang Da laughed a lot, held my face and rubbed it, vowing to rub me round and flatten before he was willing. When he had laughed enough, he hugged me into his arms again, patted me on the back and said, "I don't accept concubines, I won't accept them in this life." It's tiring enough to have you. ”
That's a good thing to say, and it's quite touching, but it always sounds weird. I stopped thinking for a moment, suddenly reacted, looked up and asked expressionlessly, "What do you mean that having me alone is enough to be tired?" You are so disgusted with me! ”
Changji frowned, pinched my cheeks hard, and said angrily and helplessly: "Who did you learn from this nonsense little character, am I too used to you on weekdays, huh?"
I pursed my lips and said proudly: "It's what you're used to, who can you rely on."
Changji but smiled silently.
I hugged his waist tightly and pressed my face to his chest to listen to his heartbeat. After a long silence, the silence in the house was silent, which made me very uncomfortable.
I rubbed restlessly into his arms, trying to get his attention.
"Changji, I'm a little cold, you hold it tight."
He didn't give me a response.
I tilted my head to look up at him, and saw that he was staring at the candlelight outside the curtain, his eyes slightly squinted, as if he was thinking about something. A hint of color flashed in his eyes, and he looked back lonely, and a sense of amazement suddenly appeared.
I tugged at his cuffs and called, "Changji, what's wrong with you?"
He looked down at me, smiled reluctantly, and said with relief, "It's okay, just thinking about something."
"Can you tell me what you want?"
He didn't speak, he hugged me tighter.
I closed my mouth very interestingly and didn't ask any more questions. Shao Yan, a very dark and low voice came from above his head: "I'm thinking, something new will happen tomorrow."
