Sheng Hong first hugged his daughter who was full of food and drink and licked her little mouth, and kissed her lovingly: "Baby Aluo, daddy hasn't seen you all day, please let daddy kiss you."
She hadn't shaved in several days, and some stubble appeared on Sheng Hong's lips, which hurt Aluonen's snoring little face.
A Luo cried at the top of her voice.
Xie Mingxi glared at Sheng Hong, hugged A'luo into her arms again, and patted her gently. A'luo sniffed the familiar scent, her little nose twitched, and she cried pitifully.
"Don't even look at the stubble on your face," Xie Mingxi rolled her eyes at Sheng Hong and said softly, "It hurts A Luo!"
Sheng Hong looked innocent: "I deliberately moved gently, but I didn't know A Luo's skin was so delicate." A Luo's little face turned red. He also felt very distressed.
Xie Mingxi coaxed her for a while before Ah Luo calmed down.
Only then did the couple have the time to whisper.
"Don't you want to get involved in the power struggle in the palace?" Sheng Hong asked in a low voice: "Why did you suddenly say something to help the Song family today? I heard that the queen mother called you to the dormitory tonight, did I make things difficult for you?"
Xie Mingxi twitched her lips: "I did plan to stand by and watch at first. However, if the Song family really had to die in the palace, things would get messy and it would be very detrimental to the three emperors' wives."
"As far as we are concerned, the more fierce they fight, the better. In this way, no one will care about causing trouble for you and me. The Third Emperor's Wife is obviously at a disadvantage, so I stepped in to help."
"On the other hand, if the Queen Mother and the Imperial Sister are in trouble, I will help them."
"In short, let them keep fighting at an equal level until the day we safely leave the capital and go to the feudal territory."
"This can be considered as we have both sides!"
Sheng Hong: "..."
He didn’t know until today that there was such a way to get both sides of things!
Sheng Hong looked at Xie Mingxi with complicated and unspeakable eyes, and after a while he sighed: "Mingxi, I am really scared for your enemy."
Xie Mingxi chuckled silently, leaned over and kissed the corner of Sheng Hong's lips: "Don't worry. I have never used this scheme on you."
In fact, she had never been so kind to someone in her life.
No matter Sheng Hong is the "sixth princess" or the seventh prince, she is special to him.
Thinking of this, Sheng Hong's heart was filled with pride and joy. He leaned on her head and whispered: "Mingxi, I don't believe in any oaths made by mountains and seas. I have never made any oaths to you."
"In the next few decades, I will prove it to you with practical actions. I, Sheng Hong, will only love you, Xie Mingxi, in this life!"
"No matter when, where, or what situation we reach, this intention will never change."
After saying that, give him a deep kiss.
…
After a moment, Sheng Hong raised his head helplessly, his handsome face was flushed, and his eyes were astonishingly bright. He muttered dissatisfiedly: "I have endured it for half a year, and now I have to continue to endure it. If this continues, I will
I’m really going to become a monk with a pure heart.”
Xie Mingxi's breathing was a little rapid, and there was a deep blush on her cheeks.
After hearing Sheng Hong's words, Xie Mingxi couldn't help laughing: "When your father passes away, you have to observe mourning for three years..."
Sheng Hong's head was as big as a bucket after hearing this: "No way! Are you really not allowed to have sex for three years?"
How is this possible!
Even a man can’t help it!
Xie Mingxi was so amused that she chuckled again and again: "It's not that exaggerated. It's just that during the period of observing filial piety, you must not get pregnant."
Sheng Hong breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "That's pretty much it. Mingxi, I've already thought about it. I have you and A'luo, and I have no regrets in this life. Not to mention in the past three years, after these three years, I don't want anything."
We have a child. We have one A Luo, which is enough."
Xie Mingxi: "..."
This is not the first time Sheng Hong has said such things.
After she gave birth to Ah Luo that day, she was exhausted. Sheng Hong once said that she didn't want any more children. She also said this once or twice after that.
Xie Mingxi always thought that Sheng Hong was joking, until now. Looking at Sheng Hong's deep and serious eyes, she suddenly realized that what he said was true.
He doesn't want any other children.
Having a daughter, Ah Luo, is enough!
The corners of Xie Mingxi's eyes suddenly became sour and swollen, and her voice was a little unclear: "Sheng Hong, do you really not want an heir?"
How is it possible... Among men in the world, who doesn’t value sons? Who doesn’t prefer sons?
Just like Emperor Jianwen, who had a deep love for Empress Yu, but later on, concubines were brought into the palace one after another? He was not satisfied with the second and third princes, and then there were four, five, and seven princes...
…
If Sheng Hong says this now, how can he not regret it in the future?
Sheng Hong responded naturally: "A Luo has inherited my bloodline and is my heir."
"Mingxi, what I said to you today is all serious. I know you don't believe me, and it doesn't matter. One day, you will see my thoughts clearly... That's well said, why are you crying!"
As soon as Xie Mingxi cried, Sheng Hong was at a loss and awkwardly stretched out his hand to wipe away Xie Mingxi's tears: "Stop crying. If you don't want to hear it, I won't tell you."
Fortunately, Xie Mingxi always controlled herself, shed a few tears, and quickly calmed down.
Xie Mingxi stared at Sheng Hong and said slowly: "Sheng Hong, my heart is just like yours. If you don't let me down, I will never let you down."
Sheng Hong grinned, leaned over and kissed Xie Mingxi hard on the lips.
…
A moment later, Xie Mingxi quietly returned to the mourning hall.
At night, no one was kneeling anymore. Everyone was sitting or leaning, often wrapped in thick cloaks, closing their eyes and falling asleep quietly.
Xiao Yuhan stayed up until Xie Mingxi came back, and then whispered: "Seventh younger brother and sister, come closer."
Xie Mingxi hummed and sat side by side with Xiao Yuhan, their heads slightly leaning together.
It was late at night, and there was peace inside and outside the mourning hall. The slightest movement would startle everyone. Everyone seemed to be sleeping with their eyes closed, but in fact there were countless people listening with their ears open.
What do the Crown Princess and the Seventh Princess want to say?
It's a pity that no matter how long they prick their ears, they can't hear a single word.
The Crown Princess Xiao Yuhan only asked the Seventh Prince to come closer, and then she was speechless.
Maybe I was just too tired and fell asleep!
Princess Changping glanced over, snorted coldly in her heart, and closed her eyes to sleep.
Emperor Jianwen passed away suddenly, and everyone was in mourning. As a daughter, she was naturally in pain for her father's death. However, the vigil has been at the funeral for more than a month now, and no matter how many tears of grief she sheds, they will all be shed.
At this time, her thoughts were focused on fighting for power in the palace.
When Emperor Jianwen was alive, she was the most favored eldest princess, towering over everyone else.
Now, Emperor Jianwen has passed away, but his mother is still here. She is still the most noble and proud eldest princess in the world, and no one can surpass her.
Xiao Yuhan, the future queen of Daqi, is no exception!
