HCB Chapter 255 Pregnancy
Chapter 255 Pregnancy
Two days later, the whole country celebrated the ceremony of crowning the queen.
Ji Qi knew that Mu Yao did not like to be bothered, so apart from taking her to the Fengtian Palace to accept the four bows from all the officials, he exempted her from all the cumbersome etiquette, which made her feel relaxed.
On the wedding night, Ji Qi talked about his life experience.
His mother was from Dayun, the daughter of the bloodthirsty old master. Unfortunately, she died of illness when he was five years old.
She had no title of concubine, but she was the lifelong love of the old Emperor of Southern Xinjiang.
After she became pregnant, she returned to her family to prepare for the birth of the child.
Since birth, Ji Qi has been carefully cultivated by the old Emperor of Southern Xinjiang as the true successor.
All the princes in the Southern Xinjiang royal family were pawns, all used by the old Southern Xinjiang emperor to pave the way for his smooth succession to the throne in the future.
When Mu Yao heard this, she couldn't help but take a breath.
Was the old emperor too cruel? Even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs.
But Ji Qi told her that this was the heavenly home.
"Aqi, will you treat our children like this in the future?" Mu Yao crossed her fingers tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from being pinched.
"Absolutely not. You are the only one in my life, and our children are from the same family. Why would there be any fight?" Ji Qi laughed.
"What if you marry again in the future?" Mu Yao couldn't help but worry.
"No! Even if there are three thousand rivers, I will only take one scoop of your water. You are my only love in this life, and I am not kidding." Ji Qi stared at Mu Yao with unquestionable certainty in his eyes.
He put a gold ring with ancient hollow patterns on Mu Yao's index finger.
"This gold ring represents the identity of the leader of the Bloodthirsty Pavilion. It is much more practical to you than the identity of the Queen of Southern Frontier. Tongbao Pawnshop is my power, and you can use it to withdraw money and property at will. There is a general store in the capitals of Dayun, Beiming, Yunlan, and even here in Nanping. There is a gold vault in the basement of each store. You can go and have a look when you pass by. The treasures inside are all my private property, and now they all belong to you."
Yunqi’s largest pawnshop, Tongbao Pawnshop, belongs to the Bloodthirsty Pavilion?
Mu Yao's mind was in a mess. Did this overwhelming wealth just hit her without any warning?
If compared with the global rich list in the 23rd century, Tongbao Pawnshop would definitely be ranked first.
Although this pawn shop is named "Pawn Shop", its business scope is far more than just pawning. Putting aside other things, the fact that it operates the largest currency deposit and withdrawal business in Yunqi is enough to make her bow her head.
She has now become the wife of the owner of the largest bank in Yunqi, and all the grand ambitions in her mind are no longer attractive.
Mu Yao felt that even if she didn't eat, drink or sleep and worked non-stop for twelve hours a day until the moment of her burial, she might not be able to compete with Ji Qi's financial resources.
No wonder the dragon is so arrogant. If it were her, she would also have to look up to the sky and have unlimited magic power.
"Ah Qi, you've given me all your wealth, aren't you worried that I'll run away and leave you one day?" Mu Yao was puzzled. Ji Qi had always been suspicious, and she felt it was unreal that he revealed it to her so easily.
Ji Qi looked deep and smiled meaningfully.
"So you don't have to worry about this problem at all. We are one body, and no matter how many mountains are covered with snow or how far into the sky there are, you and I will be together through life and death. That is enough to prove it!"
What is touching?
Is it when a man makes the most beautiful vow to you? Or when he unreservedly gives you all his wealth and details?
The man in front of me has both.
Mu Yao struggled internally over whether or not to tell him her biggest secret.
At the last moment before the sound came out of the throat, it stopped abruptly.
"Hmm? What do you want to say?" Ji Qi saw her face flushed and she looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated, and he was confused.
"We are now married and drinking from the same cup, what else can't we talk about?"
Mu Yao suppressed her palpitations and forced a smile: "Ah Qi, I want to say that although I don't like celebrating birthdays, we can use today as an anniversary to celebrate. This day belongs to you and me, and it has a profound meaning. What do you think?"
Ji Qi's eyes suddenly lit up and he agreed without any hesitation.
Late at night, the bright moon is in the sky.
The clouds and rain have just stopped, and the boy has fallen asleep.
Mu Yao leaned against the railing with her bare feet, listening to the wind.
Raise your right hand and hold the moonlight in your palm.
Staring with his eyes, he seemed to see Wushang's figure.
His handsome face was showing a hint of sadness as he looked at himself absent-mindedly.
Do you miss Wushang too much?
Mu Yao covered her eyes with her hands and took a few breaths to calm down. When she opened her eyes again, Wei Wushang's figure was still there.
This is not a dream, he is really here.
The two looked at each other for a long time with different expressions, and Wei Wushang silently expressed his true feelings to her.
"You lied to me." Mu Yao murmured to herself following his mouth shape.
Could it be that he had been following me since the first day I left? A strong sense of guilt came over me.
"I'm sorry." Mu Yao said to him slowly, word by word.
After saying this, Wei Wushang's emotions suddenly fluctuated significantly. He emerged from the darkness with a slender figure, as if he wanted to get closer.
"What are you looking at?"
Ji Qi's voice sounded from behind. He opened his arms and held her in his arms. He buried his head in her ear and sniffed deeply, slowly moving along the way to her slender, white swan neck.
The pear blossoms in the courtyard were falling, and the moonlight was scattered, hiding the figure of the boy in the distance again. However, the pair of eyes immersed in the shadow of the tree were as cold as frost, sinister and terrifying.
Mu Yao hurriedly avoided Ji Qi's intimacy, turned around, hugged his snow-white neck and led him back to the room.
The body temperature gradually rose, and a new wave of attacks was rekindled. However, at this moment, Mu Yao's mind was infinitely clear, and she realized that it seemed that she should go back.
Ten days passed in a blink of an eye. Mu Yao's life in the Southern Xinjiang Palace was both comfortable and boring.
It was scorching hot outside, and even if you were out at night, you would still be unable to move without the ice.
But even in such hot weather, Ji Qi still dressed neatly in several layers of clothes every day, walked calmly and composedly, without a trace of restlessness, which made Mu Yao admire him very much.
Time flies, and Mu Yao misses home. This longing grows stronger day by day.
Although Southern Xinjiang is also her home, the feeling is different.
Mu Yao has eight husbands in Dayun. To put it cruelly, it is clear at a glance which one is more important.
Two days later, Mu Yao couldn't help but bring up Dayun's matter with Ji Qi.
Ji Qi's face was calm, and he showed no emotion. He didn't respond, but he didn't deny it either. He just mentioned to her that he would take her out of the palace to go boating on the river in the evening.
The water resources in southern Xinjiang are limited. Mu Yao guessed that the river that Ji Qi mentioned should be the "Nanping Grand Canal", the mother river with a history of 600 years that runs through half of southern Xinjiang.
His mind suddenly became active, and his eyes sparkled with a fiery brilliance.
"Okay." She responded without hesitation.
The "Mother River" is emerald green at night. The moonlight shines down, and the waves sparkle as if dotted with stars.
Several large ships crisscrossed the river, with green lights flickering. Suddenly, a few night egrets flew by, adding a bit of liveliness to the tranquil river.
Along the Grand Canal, you can enjoy the night view of both banks.
The breeze blew away the weariness in Mu Yao's eyes.
For some reason, I've been feeling dizzy and tired these past two days.
She leaned weakly in Ji Qi's arms, her eyelids gradually drooping, so that she had no idea what the other party said.
"Yaoyao, are you feeling unwell?" Ji Qi noticed something was wrong with her. She had been listless these past two days, as if she had lost her energy. She even fell into a deep sleep during sex, which made him doubt his own charm.
"Go back to the palace and ask Rong Xianyi to come." Ji Qi said in a deep voice.
The bedroom was brightly lit with candles. Rong Xianyi cautiously put his hand on Mu Yao's wrist, his heart pounding, fearing that the emperor would order him to die again.
Even at his age, he couldn't stand the shock, but he was still living freely in the Bloodthirsty Pavilion. Now he doesn't even dare to breathe. What a sin!
"What's wrong with the Emperor and Empress? Look carefully." Seeing that he had taken the pulse for half a cup of tea but still hadn't figured out the cause, Ji Qi lost half of his patience.
Rong Xianyi frowned, his face trembling unconsciously. Why did he feel a pregnancy pulse?
I guess it’s been three weeks.
What a joy!
He immediately prostrated himself on the ground and asked for credit: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Empress is pregnant!"
"Are you serious?" Ji Qi was so shocked that he stood up immediately, his heart beating like a drum, almost jumping out of his chest.
"I dare not deceive the emperor. The empress is indeed pregnant." Rong Xianyi vowed.
Normally, it is difficult to diagnose a small pregnancy, but he is a ghost doctor!
Not only was he certain that Mu Yao was pregnant, he also vaguely felt that the beating strength of the middle and lower pulses was almost the same, which meant she was pregnant with twins. However, the month was too early, so he did not dare to jump to conclusions too early, lest he commit the crime of deceiving the emperor.
"A reward of 1,000 taels of gold." Ji Qi was delighted, and for the first time he was overjoyed. He held Mu Yao's hand tightly, kissing it devoutly over and over again.
This time, he could finally keep the person by his side openly. God bless Southern Xinjiang.
Mu Yao was dazed and groggy, but every word Rong Xianyi said was poured into her ears and burned into her heart.
Ever since she broke Yu Heng's virginity, her hidden illness was cured.
It was just that she and Yu Heng had been intimate a few days before leaving for Southern Xinjiang.
Mu Yao vaguely felt that this long-awaited child might not be Ji Qi's.
But the child has not been born yet, how can she judge?
Even if the baby is born, there is still a high rate of deviation when blood matching is used.
She tried hard to open her eyes, but couldn't.
That big hand, wrapped around her small hand firmly, condensed with infinite power, and also made Mu Yao feel very pressured.
