"You're so boring, you've set up an spy." He snorted coldly.
Xuanyuan Qingyang didn't feel uneasy about being exposed at all, and laughed softly.
"The eyeliner is just placed beside you."
"Are you trying to tell me that you are interested in me?" She raised her eyebrows.
"Yeah, I won't tell you because I'm afraid you won't know." He shrugged happily.
"My famous lady has an owner. Besides, even if I know, I will pretend not to know."
"Are you pregnant with Nangong Mo's child?" It's not a question.
"Ah." She leaned against the tub weakly, "Yes."
"Then I will give you the other half of Soochow's territory as a dowry." His beautiful eyebrows sparkled in the moonlight.
Xia Bingyan sighed, "I'm not interested."
"Don't get me wrong, it's not for you, it's for the child in your belly. If it's a girl, I will give a bigger betrothal gift in the future."
Xia Bingyan was dumbfounded. Could she say that this man was so boring?
"What if it's a boy?"
"Boy?" Xuanyuan Qingyang chuckled, "No, I believe in Buddha, and my obsession with you is so deep. If you can't meet this small request of mine, I will no longer believe that there is a Buddha in the world."
"If I remember correctly, you and I have only met a few times, right? Where did the obsession come from?" Aren't people in ancient times supposed to be reserved? Why didn't it work for this man?
"Don't you know? You fell in love with it at first sight." Xuanyuan Qingyang jumped off the window lattice, closed the folding fan, and raised her small chin.
There was a slight sound of the door opening outside, which must have been the catkins coming back.
When Xia Bingyan wasn't paying attention, Xuanyuan Qingyang bent down slightly, stole a scent from her lips, and left in a flash.
Xia Bingyan was still thinking about how Xuanyuan Qingyang's words sounded so familiar, like an advertisement slogan.
"No." Now is not the time to think about this.
What that damn man just said was that since he couldn't marry her, he would marry her daughter. Is that what he meant?
It's really shameless to the extreme.
"Your Majesty, you want the plums." Willow Catkin held up the gold plate and brought it to Xia Bingyan.
She stood up from the bathtub and took the plate from Liuxu's hand. Liuxu picked up a silk nightgown from the screen and put it on her.
Nangong Mo was in another room, talking to the accompanying ministers. When he returned to the room, Xia Bingyan was leaning on the bedpost, eating plums.
Before he could speak, Xia Bingyan stared at her and said extremely seriously: "I have decided not to give Xuanyuan Qingyang the other half of the Soochow territory."
Nangong Mo was stunned, "What's wrong?"
This is no joke. They have already sent troops, and you suddenly say you won’t give them. Isn’t this just a joke?
"I have decided that if there is a girl in my belly, I will let her be the queen of Soochow."
Nangong Mo staggered, what did she just say? Queen?
"Queen?" Don't blame him for being surprised, it is indeed unprecedented.
"Yes, Queen, and then let her win over all the beautiful men in the world and be free for the rest of her life."
After hearing this, Nangong Mo's face turned completely dark, he stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
"Actually, that's what you think, right? It's because of me that you put your disappointment on my daughter?"
"Hehe, I'm just kidding." She smiled cutely, "But Soochow will be left to my daughter."
"What about South Vietnam?" He thought about it all the time, and he simply couldn't keep up with this woman's thoughts.
"It doesn't matter, he will definitely agree." She was full of confidence.
"How can you wait until your daughter is willing to be the king of a country?" So overbearing.
"Have it cultivated since childhood. Interest is cultivated."
Nangong Mo was speechless, is this okay?
"Your Majesty." Outside the Netherworld Cave, Tu Su knelt on one knee.
"Come in." The ethereal fairy voice reached my ears.
"Tu Su, what happened?" Yun Xiao asked softly without opening his eyes.
Tu Su's expression remained cold, "Back to my lord, Queen Yulong is pregnant."
Yunxiao stiffened, was she pregnant...?
That means time is running out.
"Tu Su, tell the three elders that within five months, the next clan leader must be chosen without any mistakes."
"My subordinate understands."
In a certain room, Nangong Mo hugged Xia Bingyan and kept coaxing her.
"Eat more. Now that you are twins, how can you not eat?"
"If I don't eat, I will vomit if I eat too much and feel uncomfortable."
Murong Tao stood aside and lowered his eyes and advised, "Queen, you'd better eat more, otherwise there will be nothing in your stomach due to morning sickness, which will hurt your body."
"Look, Murong has said so, drink up this bowl of porridge."
Really, every time I eat, I feel as tired as going to war. This woman doesn't have a big appetite to begin with, and now that she's pregnant, it's even more of a headache.
"I want to sleep." Xia Bingyan looked at Nangong Mo with misty eyes.
Nangong Mo smiled fondly, picked her up and walked to the bed, and everyone else quietly retreated.
She now spends seven or eight hours a day on the water. He was worried at first, but Murong said that this was a normal reaction of pregnancy, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway, we are outside now. Let’s not take care of the court affairs for now. We can talk about it after we return to the palace.
So Nangong Mo's current task is to accompany his woman to sleep, eat and go shopping.
Looking at the sleepy little woman in his arms, smelling the faint fragrance emanating from her body, he quickly fell asleep.
Thousands of miles away in Yulong Palace, the atmosphere in Jiuhua Palace was particularly deserted.
Concubine Wan sat blankly on the brocade couch, her eyes looking somewhere without focus.
What is he doing now? I don't know since when, he has stopped setting foot in Jiuhua Palace. It seems that all he cares about is that woman and nothing else.
Even state affairs, I heard, were left to the Grand Master.
It stands to reason that she should be favored by Sheng Zhengnong, after all, her father is so important.
He was taught by his father since he was a child to be a model of the three obediences and the four virtues. When he first entered the palace, he was envied by everyone.
That man must have treated her very well. He would always have meals at Jiuhua Palace or talk to her about trivial matters when he had nothing to do. The two of them were obviously in love with each other, so why did everything change?
She was alone in the huge Jiuhua Palace, and there was no one else to talk to her, listen to her playing music, or watch her dance.
"Yuanyang, am I not as good as that woman?" She murmured.
It seemed like he was asking the female officer standing next to him, but it didn't seem like he was asking.
"Your Majesty." Yuanyang looked at Concubine Wan uneasily.
"Forget it, there's no need to ask. She is prettier than me and has better skills. It's not surprising that the emperor likes her."
She understands, she understands everything, but it is precisely because she understands that she is unwilling to give in.
