When an Changqing was a child, for a long time, he did not understand why he was the son of his father, but only he suffered coldness. Whether it's a new year's family dinner or going to another family dinner, he is the one ignored and forgotten. But there were always servants who used to satirize him with the beautiful days that Aunt Yu had been favored. The more he listened to those beautiful days that he didn't remember, the more he felt aggrieved. It's not that he didn't envy the two brothers, but he learned not to look forward to them when he was disappointed.

However, this doubt is always deep in my heart. He did not dare to ask Yu for fear of hurting his mother's heart. The only time to express resentment is to stop fighting against Xiao. Later, under Xiao Zhige's persuasion, he learned to put down the so-called father son relationship and no longer had any expectations for an Zhike.

However, when he decided to put it down, the question he often buried in his heart when he was young suddenly had an answer.

This absurd and ridiculous answer is really in line with an Zhike's selfishness.

An Changqing once left in the bottom of my heart that unwilling, so vanished.

Looking at Yu's worried look, he took her hand and gently comforted her: "Hongwen is just a small matter. In fact, I wrote to my mother for another thing..."

At this point, an Changqing hesitated, some difficult to say, he subconsciously looked back at Xiao Zhige, touched the man's tolerance and encouragement. He slowly vomited out a mouthful of turbid gas, looked at Yu and continued: "I'm sorry Do you remember the chimpanzees in my letter? The chimpanzees are male and female, and those with red stripes are fertile... "

"I probably have the blood of the chimpanzees, and It's fertile, too. " Nervously gazing at Yu's expression, an Changqing subconsciously touches his flat abdomen and finally tells them their secret: "I'm nearly four months pregnant now, mother I'm going to be a grandmother. "

Yu seemed to understand, but he didn't. He looked at him blankly.

An Changqing was afraid of scaring her. After a long time, he heard Yu's deep breath: "is it true? Will it do harm to your health? "

Then he took an Changqing to look up and down, and finally his eyes fell on his belly. He hesitated again: "it's almost four months, how come he didn't show his mind at all? Is the doctor wrong? Where is the blood of the chimpanzee in our family... "

In the middle of it, I suddenly remembered that my parents were unknown. I'm not sure about blood. She looked slightly dark, and finally sighed deeply, with a look of guilt on her face: "it's my mother who has implicated you." Because she was born in Qinglou, her children were criticized when they were young. Now because of her parents' unknown blood, her eldest son is clearly a man, but he is pregnant again.

"How can I be without a mother? What's the connection between mother and son? " Seeing that she felt guilty instead, an Changqing quickly took her hand and comforted her: "although she felt strange at first, it's good to have a child after a long time."

"The Lord is happy, isn't he?" An Changqing hit Xiao Zhige with her elbow and winked at him.

Xiao Zhige immediately agreed: "here, you are right. This is my common blood with Nuo. We are all looking forward to this child. It's just that it's rare for a man to have a child. Just in case, he wants to ask his mother-in-law if she knows. "

Yu recalled it seriously, but she didn't know anything about her parents. From the beginning, she grew up in Qinglou. When she was young, her mother and husband taught her poetry, calligraphy, propriety, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. When you get older and your reputation spreads, you start to go out to entertain the guests who are attracted to you, and then He fell in love with an Zhike and was carried into an's house by a small sedan chair.

"I really don't know that there is only one jade pendant of Pisces left in the swaddling clothes by relatives. Because the jade pendant is engraved with the word "Yu", I just took the surname "Yu."

Originally thought that Yu Shi would know something, but unexpectedly even she did not know. An Changqing and Xiao Zhige looked at each other and sighed secretly, but they didn't say much on their faces, so that Yu would not blame himself again: "if you don't know your mother, just forget it. The Lord will send someone to check it again. Today, I've asked Anfu to clean up the yard. Why don't we go and have a rest first. "

Yu sighed and had to follow them to the backyard.

When they arrived in Yanzhou, it was already afternoon. After the banquet, they went to the study to discuss for a long time. When they came out, it was dark. An Changqing accompanied Yu to the new yard. The servant girls have put all the utensils in the cage neatly. These servant girls were originally selected from Chuang Tzu's farm women. After being taught, they came to Yu's family and an Xianyu to serve them. Now, the people who bring Yanzhou are even more smart and efficient. Without the owner's explanation, everything has been arranged properly.

Seeing that the courtyard was in good order and couldn't help, an Changqing sat down for a while and went back to the main room with Xiao Zhige.

He is sleepy these days and has to rest early every day. Xiao Zhige already knew his habits. When he finished washing, he brought a small wooden basin with warm water at the right temperature to let an Changqing soak his feet.

In August, when the weather was hot, an Changqing was wearing a cut short tunic, with a thin white leg exposed outside. There was a pair of soft soled shoes on his feet. Xiao Zhige doesn't care whether the work should be done by his servants. When an Changqing sits down by the bed, he takes off his shoes and lets him soak his feet.The first few protests of an Changqing failed, and he no longer struggled senselessly. He kneaded them with his fingers. It is said that this is a method learned from Hu Shifei. It can activate blood vessels, make the fetus grow better, and prevent leg edema.

The man kneels on one knee at the edge of the basin, puts his foot on his knee, and kneads the soles of his feet with his head down and eyebrows down. The usual cold and hard face will soften only when facing an Changqing. It is a gentle look that no one can see.

An Changqing pursed her lips, with a smile on her lips: "if you let people know that the king of the Northern War had to wash her feet at home, I'm afraid it would be dignified."

"Majesty is to the outsider." Xiao Zhige didn't look up. He gently pressed the soles of his feet: "here, naturally, it's different from them."

I wanted to tease him, but I was poked to my heart by his words. An Changqing curled up his toes, pointed his toes on his chest, and suddenly said, "the Lord is not the same."

Xiao Zhige looked up at him, his eyes were full of affection.

With a smile, an Changqing told him what he had hidden in his heart for a long time: "I only give birth to my father." If it is someone else, even if he has a foreign blood, he would never agree to have a son as a man. It doesn't matter whether it's dangerous or not, it's just that he can't accept the idea of having a son as a man for another man for more than ten years.

But if this person is replaced by Xiao Zhige, all the unacceptability and uneasiness will turn into joy.

Just as he can cut off his blood for the sake of not having a concubine, he can also overcome his psychological discomfort and fear of the alien. As long as we often think that the growing "seed" in our stomach is the blood created by both of us, all our uneasiness will turn into firmness.

Xiao Zhige's words and deeds are the source of his firm belief.

Now when I think of my past life, besides regretting the cowardice and timidity of the previous life, I am more happy for this life. Secretly happy God gave him a chance to come back, secretly happy on the wedding day, he plucked up the courage to hold his hand.

So we have the company of this day. No matter ups and downs, they always walk together.

Xiao Zhige dried his feet with a cloth towel, and cherished a kiss on the instep: "here you are."

An Changqing rolled the quilt to the side of the bed, only showing half a face and a pair of eyes full of smile: "no hard work."

Xiao Zhige didn't react at first. He didn't understand until he saw his meaningful smile. He rolled his Adam's apple a few times. Xiao Zhige gave him a deep look and said, "it's not hard. I'll pour water."

With that, he picked up the basin. Although his pace was still steady, his back was in a dilemma of running away.

After pouring the water back, an Changqing is still waiting for him. When he took off his shoes and went to bed, he nestled into his arms.

Xiao Zhige has been acting normally since he was confirmed to be pregnant. When he was really upset, he went outside to practice boxing and came back. An Changqing thought of the question she had asked secretly, and got closer to him with a bad heart.

Xiao Zhige breathed heavily and restrained his shoulder to keep him from moving.

An Changqing puffed his face and muttered in a low voice: "doctor Hu said that the first three months would be ok..."

Xiao Zhige was a little excited by what he said, and then he thought that he was a man, pregnant with a woman or different. Dare not venture after all, restrained to close lips, big hand presses in his back, firm embrace a person, dumb voice command: "do not talk, sleep."

Plan failed, an Changqing shriveled mouth, face on his chest, in the end honestly sleep.

***

on the second day, an Changqing accompanied Yu and an Xianyu out. When I was in Yejing, I had a lot of rules, and women's family members of big families seldom went out on weekdays. To Yanzhou but don't worry so much, want to go out can go out at any time.

Yanzhou City is much more lively than when Chang'an first came. Without the harassment of Beidi people, the shops and stalls of different sizes were put out again, and the shouting and bargaining were heard all the time.

The original business is not so good. However, since nearly ten thousand "baiding army" were exiled to Yanzhou, the population of Yanzhou has increased dramatically. Because these foreign people have participated in the reinforcement of the city wall and the construction of the outer city, everyone has some money and rice in their hands. What they lack naturally comes to the city to buy, which makes the city more and more lively.

Yu and an had never seen such a scene. Before they came here, they only thought Yanzhou was desolate and barren, with years of war, but they didn't think it would be such a lively and prosperous scene, which was much better than they imagined.

An Changqing introduced the local conditions and customs of Yanzhou to them as she walked. An Xianyu asked a question from time to time. The mother and son were more comfortable and close than ever before. After a stroll in the street, Yu's family was a little tired. An Changqing took them to the teahouse to drink tea and listen to Mr. Yu's storytelling.

As soon as the three men and two guards sat down, they heard that Mr. Shu patted the startling wood and said in a sonorous tone: "this time, I'll tell you about the past lives of the Northern Warlord and the princess. One of them is the God of war in the heaven, and the other is the fox king in the demon world..."

The people at the bottom cheered and were in high spirits. Obviously looking forward to a new story.

“!!!” An Changqing didn't swallow a mouthful of tea, and almost burst out. Good hanging just swallow down, but choking face red.He glared at the two guards, who seemed to have known for a long time: "what's the matter?"

Yu's face is also surprised, but an Xianyu is still stretching her neck to look forward, full of enthusiasm - they come late, sitting in the corner of a table.

Unexpectedly, the two guards looked very proud and explained to an Changqing, "it seems that a lot of storybooks came from Yejing. The people in Yejing loved the prince and Princess very much, so they wrote many storybooks. We Yanzhou scholar a look, that is naturally can't fall behind. The prince has been guarding Yanzhou for many years, and the princess is dedicated to the welfare of the people in Yanzhou. How can the people in Yanzhou be inferior to Yejing? A scholar wrote a new story to praise the prince and the princess. It's said that besides the script, there are many poems. "

It's just that poetry doesn't have the popularity of storytellers and storytellers. Nowadays, the most popular story in the teahouse is the story of the past and present lives of the prince and princess. Whenever there is a venue, it is full!

Even the soldiers in the barracks are the envy of the common people. After all, they can not only protect the country, but also see the prince and Princess day by day!
