Under the warm candlelight, the familiar and beautiful face was also cast with a faint halo. The bright and clear eyes contained a hint of gentleness.
That's what Xie Mingxi never said out loud.
That is the love that Xie Mingxi has never admitted.
She never said it, but she always had him in her heart.
A strong sweetness hit Sheng Hong's heart. Perhaps he was too excited and happy, and his nose suddenly felt sour. His eyes also felt a little warm.
Xie Mingxi: "..."
I'm smiling at you, why do you look like you're about to cry?
Sheng Hong took a deep breath, and when his emotions calmed down, he whispered in a hoarse voice: "Mingxi, I have been alone since I can remember."
"I have no family, no wife, and no children. The word family love is too foreign to me."
"Now that I have you, I have a wife who will stay with me for the rest of my life. And with the blood that belongs to both of us, my life is complete."
Xie Mingxi stared at Sheng Hong's emotional handsome face and responded softly: "Sheng Hong, I am the same way."
She had had children before. In her previous life, she stood out in the harem and became the final winner by giving birth to a son. She also loved her son. But that love was mixed with too much utilitarianism. Mother and child
The love is mixed with imperial power and struggle.
Her son died young, and her love for her eldest grandson became even weaker.
He pretends to be kind on his face, but his heart is cold.
She once thought that she was born to be so cold and heartless, and did not have much pity or love for her own blood. Only then did she know that being pregnant with the child of her beloved would make her so happy and so looking forward to it.
This child, who is fused with her flesh and blood, is still in the womb, and may be as small as a grain of rice. But it is already the most precious treasure in her and Sheng Hong's hearts.
Sheng Hong stretched out his hand, hugged her, touched her forehead, their eyes met, and their breaths met.
"Mingxi, I'm so happy."
"Me too."
"Mingxi, what would be a good name for our daughter?"
"...It's too early to think about this now!"
"It's not too early at all! How important the name is. We must pick out more and pick the best one. The eldest daughter of the second emperor's brother has a single name with the character Rong, and the daughter of the third emperor's brother has a single name with the character fu. We must choose the character grass.
Get up and let me think about it."
"It's useless no matter how much you think about it. Children are given names by their father."
"...I want to name my daughter by myself." There was a little grievance in his tone.
"Choose a nickname for you!"
…
That night, Xie Mingxi fell asleep with a smile on her face.
Sheng Hong refused to go to the study and insisted on staying by Xie Mingxi's side. He was so excited and excited that he never fell asleep. He was afraid of disturbing Xie Mingxi's sleep, so he maintained the same position and never moved.
It wasn't until midnight that Sheng Hong fell asleep.
He had a dream.
In the dream, Xie Mingxi held a beautiful and adorable baby girl in his arms. He was overjoyed and held the baby girl in his arms like a treasure. At this moment, the baby girl opened her eyes and looked at him with a pair of small black eyes.
, the red little mouth shouted crisply and loudly: "Dad!"
Hey! Dad is here!
He grinned and laughed.
A familiar voice rang in my ears: "What sweet dream did you have? Why are you giggling all the time?"
It was Xie Mingxi's voice.
Sheng Hong woke up, recalled the sweet dream just now, and said happily: "I just dreamed about our daughter. She was born with an unparalleled beauty, her eyes were black and bright, and she called me daddy when she opened her mouth."
That's why he kept giggling in his sleep.
Xie Mingxi couldn't stop laughing, and teased: "I haven't asked the doctor to check my pulse yet. Maybe I just came a little late with the sunflower water. I'm just happy for nothing."
"Impossible!" Sheng Hong answered without hesitation, his tone full of determination: "My daughter is already anxious to meet me as her biological father. You must be pregnant!"
Xie Mingxi: "..."
Forget it, just be happy!
…
The time is too short, and the diagnosis has not yet been confirmed, so it is not appropriate to announce the pregnancy.
However, Sheng Hong was really reluctant to let Xie Mingxi go to the palace and work hard, so he insisted that Xie Mingxi should be sick for a few days and rest in the palace.
Xie Mingxi didn't take it seriously and laughed casually: "When the three emperors' wives and the five emperors' wives were pregnant, they all came to the palace to pay their respects as usual. I am so delicate, I will be teased by them in the future."
Sheng Hong puffed up his chest and said, "If they want to laugh, just come and laugh at me. In short, don't go anywhere these days. Stay at home Ansheng. I'll be back after the court."
"I will take care of my mother's side. You don't have to worry about anything."
Sheng Hong had always been obedient to Xie Mingxi, but today it was rare that he had a tough attitude.
Xie Mingxi had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
Before going to court, Sheng Hong warned in every possible way: "If you have anything to do, just ask Xianghui and the others to do it. Don't worry about hard work. Be more careful when walking. Also, be careful when eating and don't choke. Drink tea slowly."
Don’t burn it…”
Xie Mingxi couldn't bear to interrupt Sheng Hong: "If you don't leave, it will be too late to go to court!"
Sheng Hong: "..."
Sheng Hong turned back three times and walked away. His reluctant attitude made Xianghui Congyu and others laugh secretly in their hearts.
Xie Mingxi was never a shy person. After seeing off Sheng Hong, he slowly returned to the inner room to rest.
An hour later, an unexpected person appeared in front of me.
"Master," Xie Mingxi was surprised and happy: "Why are you here suddenly? Why didn't anyone send me a letter before you came?"
Gu Shanchang smiled and said: "The Seventh Prince sent me a message, saying that you are not feeling well and cannot enter the palace these days. Please ask me to come and accompany you when I have some free time. It just so happens that I have nothing to do today, so I am here."
This Sheng Hong! It’s too much to make a fuss about!
Xie Mingxi was funny and angry: "I'm not feeling well somewhere. It's just that Kui Shui came seven or eight days late, maybe he's pregnant. He's so nervous in every possible way, it makes people laugh and cry."
Gu Shanchang: "..."
Gu Shanchang was stunned for a moment, and then his face lit up with joy: "Your Highness acts carefully and properly. I will send someone to send a letter back to the academy. From today on, I will live in the mansion and take care of your food, clothing and daily life."
Xie Mingxi: "..."
Xie Mingxi felt both heartbroken and funny: "I have hands and feet, and a bunch of people around me to take care of me. My food, clothing, housing, and transportation are all fine. Why should I bother Master like this?"
"Furthermore, there are a lot of trivial matters in Lianchi Academy, and they all have to be decided by Master. Of course I am happy that Master stays with me. However, the academy cannot live without Master."
Gu Shanchang thought for a while and then said: "You are right. I really want to go back to the academy and arrange everything before I come back."
Xie Mingxi: "..."
Come on!
The master made up his mind and it was useless whatever her disciple said.
