His Majesty had deep affection for this eldest son. Back then, when Imperial Consort Zhuang gave birth to the Eldest Prince, His Majesty was still just an insignificant Wangye. In those years, the momentum of the deposed Crown Prince and the Liu family was so strong that they crushed several princes who were not in their camp.
His Majesty's prince’s residence at that time didn’t even have a wet nurse, and the Eldest Prince had no milk to feed on, so His Majesty went to milk a sheep in person for him.
His Majesty had raised this son with great care, so even if he was at odds with the Zhuang Family and had a cold relationship with Imperial Consort Zhuang, he would never neglect his eldest son.
Empress Xiao suddenly regretted arranging so many errands for the Crown Princess. Her biggest task should be to give birth to her grandchildren quickly.
After Imperial Consort Zhuang left, Empress Xiao earnestly told the Crown Princess that she must give birth to her eldest grandson for the imperial family, and gave the Crown Princess a tonic soup that might help her in this area.
After all that, Empress Xiao thought it still wasn’t enough and also had the Crown Prince called over. She asked him to reduce the official duties he was handling, and hand over what he could to his men, so as to make more time to have a dragon grandson with the Crown Princess.
Thus, the Crown Prince, a dutiful son, left his official duties that night and returned to the East Palace early.
The Crown Princess sat quietly in the room, and on the table was a bowl of medical soup that was about to get cold. free webnov el.com
"Linlang." The Crown Prince marched in.
The Crown Princess stood up, turned around and saluted him, "Your Highness."
The Crown Prince stepped forward to hold her hand, his eyes filled with tenderness, "I told you that you and I are husband and wife, and there is no need for you to be so formal and polite with me like this when no one else is around."
The Crown Princess smilingly said, "Why did Your Highness come back so early today? Have you taken care of all the affairs in the Ministry of Appointments?”
The Crown Prince replied, "Why are those things so important to you?" As he spoke, he noticed the medicine on the table. "Is this the medicine imperial mother gave you? Why haven't you drunk it yet? It's getting cold."
"It was too hot just now." The Crown Princess put down the book in her hands and reached for the medicine bowl.
Just then, the Crown Prince asked out of nowhere, "Linlang, you… haven't you forgotten my cousin yet?"
The Crown Princess smiled and looked up at him gently, "How can that be? Now I am Your Highness, the Crown Prince’s person, and I have only Your Highness in my heart."
"Don't think about my cousin any more. My cousin can't make you the Empress, only I can." The Crown Prince put his arms around her soft waist, "Linlang, give birth to a baby for me."
On a dark and windy night, the candle light swayed gently.
……
The Imperial Academy finally finished its classes for today, and Xiao Liulang headed back to Bishui Alley on a crutch.
The gate was left unlocked and there was a light coming from the main room.
Xiao Liulang entered the courtyard, closed the gate and bolted it.
When he entered the main room, he found that Gu Jiao was waiting for him. It was just that she waited so long that she fell asleep at the table.
Her head was turned to the left, resting on her arm; her little face was squashed, and the red birthmark on her left face was looming in the flickering candlelight.
The night breeze during the third month was very cold.
Xiao Liulang turned and closed the door of the main room.
He moved lightly, but Gu Jiao was still awoken.
Rubbing her eyes, she sat up in a daze. Seeing Xiao Liulang, she woke up from her doze and her eyes were shining, "You’re back? Are you hungry? I'll prepare you something hot to eat."
Her eyes were so bright that it seemed to be sending off some warmth.
Xiao Liulang’s eyes moved without her noticing and he said, "No, I've eaten." He paused, and then stressed, "I really have."
Gu Jiao's eyes then fell on his stomach, her serious little appearance seemed to be judging whether or not his stomach was bulging.
That strange feeling welled up in Xiao Liulang's heart again.
Fortunately, she ultimately believed it, otherwise if she had said she wouldn't believe it unless he let her give his stomach a feel, then Xiao Liulang would really be at a loss as to what to do.
Gu Jiao yawned a little, "Then rest early, you still have class tomorrow."
Xiao Liulang let out a sigh, turned and walked to the west room. Suddenly, he thought of something, turned around and asked her, "What if... I don’t become successful in the imperial exam? What if I fall behind, and become depressed since then, never recovering, losing my bright future for the rest of my life.”
"I will raise you." She answered without hesitation.
"Why?"
"You’re my husband, we are husband and wife."
Xiao Liulang's heart felt like being caressed again.
This girl, how could she casually speak out words that poked at people’s heart every time?
"Hiss——"
Gu Jiao suddenly frowned and gasped.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Liulang hurried over, then realized that he had overreacted. He cleared his throat and regained his cold expression.
Gu Jiao didn't notice the small change in someone's mood. Her two unconscious little arms dangled like a soulless puppet, "My arms are numb."
Xiao Liulang hesitated before saying to her, "Do you want to..."
"Yes." Gu Jiao reacted quickly, "Please massage them."
Xiao Liulang silently took a deep breath and sat down beside Gu Jiao. contemporary romance
Gu Jiao, whose arms were numb, turned straight to face him.
Xiao Liulang picked up one of her arms and gave it a careful massage.
His movements were gentle and well-regulated. At most, he only massaged her forearm.
"Are they still numb?" Xiao Liulang asked.
"Still numb." Gu Jiao lied with her eyes open.
Xiao Liulang massaged her arms again for a while, and it was so comfortable that Gu Jiao almost fell asleep.
Xiao Liulang looked at her, took a deep breath, and gently put her hand back on her lap, "Okay, it's getting late, you go back to your room."
Gu Jiao: "Oh."
Xiao Liulang stood up.
"Why don’t I give you a massage as well?" Gu Jiao tilted her head sideways and looked at him. "I know a good technique. You've been tired all day. Aren’t you dizzy and fatigued?"
With those serious eyes, it seemed that Xiao Liulang would be a jerk if he said no.
Xiao Liulang had no choice but to take a seat.
"Don't sit so far away!" Gu Jiao moved her chair to his side and gave him a massage.
At first, she was well-behaved, but the longer she massaged, the more something felt wrong.
Xiao Liulang looked puzzled. What did dizziness and fatigue had to do with his chest muscles?
"Are you aching here?"
"How about here?"
"Here."
"Here."
"Here!"
Xiao Liulang tensed all over, and he took a deep breath again.
"My shoulders aren't aching."
"My stomach is not aching either."
He heard about having a sore back from sitting for a whole day, but never a sore stomach.
Gu Jiao: "Oh."
Her little hand tried to massage another place.
Who knew massaging could be so interesting!
Xiao Liulang didn't know how many deep breaths he took tonight. He closed his eyes and said, "...my back is also not aching."
"Neither do my legs."
"My waist… not my waist too!"
Gu Jiao raised an eyebrow, "Oh."
His waist was really good, strong and without a trace of fat.
Gu Jiao smacked her lips and withdrew her hand.
Her hands were withdrawn, but her eyes were still glued to him.
Xiao Liulang gave her a look, "What are you doing?"
Gu Jiao shook her head, "No, no, I'm not drooling!"
Xiao Liulang:“…”
