Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 187 Demon Lord × Flower Fairy 25

For some reason, Peony, who is pregnant this time, has been feeling listless lately and occasionally can't control her temper.

Even when serving the crabapple and peach blossoms, they were somewhat afraid of offending her.

Peony didn't want to be annoying, but she couldn't control her emotions and often lost her temper over the smallest things.

Mo Yuan also noticed this, so he stayed by Mudan's side as much as possible, sometimes even bringing matters that needed to be dealt with back to the Phantom Palace.

As the weather in the Demon Realm turned cooler, Mo Yuan quietly got out of bed in the morning and carefully wrapped Mudan in a blanket.

Peony was a light sleeper; she would wake up as soon as no one was around, her voice thick with a nasal tone: "Husband..."

Mo Yuan gently tucked the blanket in and coaxed softly, "I'll be back in a little while, be a good boy and wait for me."

Peony, being sensitive, reached out and took Mo Yuan's arm: "Husband, what would you like to eat for breakfast? I'll prepare it."

Hearing the subtle confirmation in her words about how long he would be gone, Mo Yuan had no complaints. He only felt more sorry for her pregnancy and agreed with her every word: "Just prepare what you like. I'll feed you when I get back."

Peony then released her hand and nodded obediently: "Okay...wait for my husband to come back."

Mo Yuan nodded good-naturedly and repeated, "It's still early. I'll be back soon after I get up."

Peony gave a soft "hmm" and buried her face in the blanket, closing her eyes.

Before leaving, he was still worried and instructed Begonia and Peach Blossom to stay by her side at all times, so that she wouldn't overthink things if she woke up alone.

Soon, there was a slight movement from the bed, and Haitang and Taohua immediately moved to the bedside: "Princess, you're awake?"

Their princess has been acting strangely lately, and has lost her temper several times when she gets up.

The Prince of Yuan ordered that everything be done according to her wishes. This morning, seeing that the peony seemed a little listless, Peach Blossom hesitated and said, "Princess, shall we get up?"

"Um……"

Peony nodded listlessly.

She knew that her temper had become worse than before recently, and she often felt inexplicably wronged. Sometimes, if Mo Yuan didn't hold her while she slept at night, she would overthink things for a long time.

Begonia and Peach Blossom were still relieved that the princess hadn't been in a bad mood today, until breakfast was ready. Peony asked listlessly, "Has Prince Yuan returned?"

Haitang's heart skipped a beat. She shouldn't have been so happy so soon. She awkwardly moved towards Mudan and hesitated, "Prince Yuan... he may be delayed by something, but he will be here soon."

Peony's face visibly fell, and her eyes darkened, filled with resentment.

"Princess, please...please don't think such things. Prince Yuan will be back soon," Haitang anxiously advised, then urged Taohua, "Go ahead and see if Prince Yuan has arrived yet?"

Peach Blossom rushed out. If the princess was in a bad mood and it affected the child, what would happen to their lives if they didn't take good care of the child?

Peony didn't want to think too much about it, but she remembered that he had promised her he would be back soon and have breakfast with her when he left that morning. How long had it been? Why did he lie to her?

Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. The more Peony thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and the more outrageous it seemed. She even wondered if it was because she was pregnant that the Prince of Yuan couldn't touch her body, which was why he was unwilling to come back to be with her.

Haitang felt as if the sky had collapsed in an instant. She hurriedly comforted Mudan, "Princess, don't cry... don't be like this..."

Oh my god, someone save her! The princess is crying, and it's them who are suffering!

Peony sobbed uncontrollably, clutching her slightly protruding belly, tears streaming down her face until her eyelids became red and swollen.

Begonia stood by helplessly, sweating profusely with anxiety.

Mo Yuan rushed over and, upon hearing Mu Dan's sobbing outside, realized something was wrong.

He ran into the hall, panting, and squatted down in front of Peony. He said urgently, "Peony, don't cry. I had something to do and couldn't get away, so I came back a little late. Don't cry."

Peony looked at him with a wronged expression, and Mo Yuan felt heartbroken: "Alright, alright, don't cry, I'm back, don't cry."

After saying that, he picked her up and placed her on his lap, kissed away her tears, and gently coaxed her with tenderness and affection: "Don't cry, don't cry, I'm back, I'm back to be with you, be good."

Peony sobbed for a while before stopping, then nestled against him, looking aggrieved.

Mo Yuan felt sweat on his back. She had become more sensitive and clingy lately. He had asked the demon doctor, and he was told that these were normal reactions after becoming pregnant.

"Okay, it's alright now. I'm fine today and have been staying with you."

"It's a soft voice," Mo Yuan said.

Peony trembled her swollen eyelids, opened them to look at him, and spoke with a slight sob in her voice: "Husband... I didn't mean to... I didn't..."

"I know it's my fault. You're working so hard right now, it's all your fault."

Mo Yuan hugged and coaxed her, which made Mudan lose her temper.

"My husband, I'm hungry..."

Mo Yuan then had breakfast with her, holding her tightly the whole time and feeding her her favorite foods.

Peony's mood improved, and feeling somewhat ashamed, she whispered, "Husband, please put me down, you..."

"It's alright," Mo Yuan said hastily, taking a few bites before putting down his chopsticks.

At this hour, he would take Peony out for a walk, put a cloak on her, and help her walk outside.

Peony was in a good mood all day, which relieved Begonia and Peach Blossom. It was only after Prince Yuan intervened that the princess stopped being angry.

evening

Mo Yuan bathed Mudan early and settled her on the bed before taking his own bath.

After becoming pregnant, Mudan felt easily tired, but when she got to bed, she couldn't fall asleep.

She closed her eyes gently, waiting for Mo Yuan to return.

After quickly taking a bath, Mo Yuan got into bed, pulled the covers off, and hugged Mudan in his arms, his large hands gently stroking Mudan's slightly protruding belly: "Go to sleep."

Peony didn't speak, but nestled in his arms, clutching his thin undergarment. After a long while, she whispered, "Husband..."

Mo Yuan squinted and softly hummed in agreement: "I'm here. Go to sleep."

The man's hot body pressed tightly against hers. Peony leaned against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, her face slightly flushed. She bit her lip, her soft, boneless hands slowly slipping inside his clothes, gradually moving downwards...

Ok?

Mo Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Mudan.

Peony's cheeks flushed even more. She calmed her racing heart and awkwardly comforted him.

A long time passed, and the man still didn't move. Peony raised her beautiful, watery eyes and looked at him accusingly.

Mo Yuan, slightly out of breath, lowered his head and kissed her lips. In the quiet space, the occasional gasps made those who heard them blush.

"Husband... my hand hurts..." Peony said aggrievedly.

Mo Yuan chuckled, embraced her with one arm, and reached down with the other to grasp her soft but gradually weakening little hand. Their hands clasped together, his expression unchanged, while Mudan's earlobes were flushed red.

After a long while, suppressed breathing was heard. Mo Yuan's temples were throbbing with veins. Mu Dan's soft palms suddenly became sticky, and she shyly hid in Mo Yuan's chest.

"Ha ha……"

Mo Yuan was in a good mood and chuckled, which earned him a punch to the chest from Mu Dan, who softly hummed, "Wash...wash your hands..."

"Okay, okay, don't be angry." Mo Yuan carefully wiped her clean before hugging her again: "What's there to be shy about? I'm very happy."

Peony hummed and refused to speak again.

Mo Yuan hugged the person and kissed them affectionately: "Can you sleep now?"

"Um……"
