ex husband always trying to get me pregnant

The first day of September in the 27th year of Jianping of the Great Qi State.

On the [-]th birthday of the Prime Minister of the Right, the Prince Taifu, and the young master Jing Lan, today I will give you a day's rest, a royal banquet, and a firework to show your favor.In the inner garden of the imperial city, the servants and maids were busy coming and going in twos and threes. When they passed by the warm pavilion covered by flowers and plants in the corner, they glanced out of the corner of their eyes and began to discuss in a low voice——

"I heard that the fourth prince also gave Jing Xiang a birthday gift, but he was not kicked out. Jing Que is really kind."

"Isn't it? Two years ago, in order to borrow the power of the Prime Minister's House, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, who was living among the people, returned to the court. He disguised himself as a woman and married to be his daughter-in-law. Everyone remembers this shocking incident clearly!"

A maid was puzzled and said, "Why do you have to disguise yourself as a woman?"

A servant said: "You're new here, I'm afraid you don't know, the eldest son of Jing Xiang and his husband Cheng Shilang, who is also the double number one in the last imperial examination and martial arts examination, and the handsome Cheng Xi Cheng who is famous all over the capital. I don't like young people, I like girls from well-known families. Hey, it's a pity that Mr. Cheng is newly married and Yan Er is just about to be sweet, but when he lifts the bed curtain, he finds..."

"Mr. Cheng is very angry," said another maid, "I will give up my official career immediately, and I will be transferred to Qingzhou after Heli, but after all, he is a gentleman. He didn't say a bad word about the fourth prince, and he did his best to prove it to the emperor. If the identity of the fourth prince is not like this, how can the fourth prince enjoy the blessings in the palace now?!"

The attendant sighed again and again, "The fourth prince is too bad."

The maid at the front looked puzzled, and said: "I think the fourth prince is very good. He looks good, like the white peony in the imperial garden! The new clothes that will be produced by him are also the most luxurious and eye-catching! And he has a heart. Well, I ran into him on the road, and I saluted him, and he not only said 'Excuse me', but also smiled at me, and waved when he left! You look like a good boy!"

"Appearances are all appearances." The attendant said, "What's the use of being good-looking and well-dressed? Our Prince Daqi is full of energy, both civil and military. Only this Fourth Highness usually sleeps late and wakes up late, eats food, is lazy, and does not think about making progress. The emperor is so angry!"

The maid wanted to argue again, but the other maid cut it off first: "That's right, it's Jingxiang's birthday this time, and Mr. Cheng is back. If we meet on a grand occasion, the Fourth Highness should be ashamed to death!"

The few people walked away, the discussion faded away, and the Nuan Pavilion was left behind by them, bathed in verdant flowers and aloes.

The fourth prince Xia Yan, who has been talked about for no reason, is lying on the golden silk-patterned phoenix couch in the pavilion, wearing an indigo robe with a silver border, his face is covered with books, and his bare white feet are crossed and crossed The table next to the couch held a silver plate under his left arm, and his right hand took out grapes from the plate every now and then, and put them into his mouth through the gap under the book.

The book squirmed for a moment, and there was a sneezing sound.

"Who misses me..." Xia Yan sniffed, threw away the book and sat up, put the grape plate on her lap, put her feet into the silver boots with cocked heads, and shook the messy ponytail and the broken hair on the forehead , stunned for a while, then slapped his face, inhaled, cheered up and stood up——

He is of medium height and thin, with a fair and delicate face, and his eyes are full of clear youthful brilliance.

He opened his arms and jumped up and down the hem of his clothes and trouser legs. He pulled his boots and sat down behind the desk. He took ink and opened the inkstone.

"Xiao Fang, come and plan."

Xiao Fang is a loyal and loyal bodyguard in black. Hearing this, he came from the corner of the room, stood by the desk, bowed his head, and saw Xia Yan wrote the seven characters "Route Map to Avoid Cheng Xi" on the paper, and then roughly wrote the words "Route Map to Avoid Cheng Xi" on the side. I drew a little person——

The top of the head is square and tall, the crown is high, the long drooping line is intended to be the hair, the three straight lines are the eyes and mouth, the two oblique lines are crossed in front of the chest to be the arms, and a vertical strip is drawn between the two arms, which is the sword. Then draw two longer vertical lines, which are the legs, and a Cheng Xi will appear on the paper, with both spirit and form.

Xia Yan sat up straight, looked at his children's painting with satisfaction, then drew the roads in the palace crookedly, marking the important halls and pavilions, then changed the brush and dipped in red paint, and traced the travel route, saying: "Today, we will see each other. Mu, Cheng Xi will accompany you at home, so you don't have to worry about it today. But tomorrow, the royal father will award Cheng Xi a new official position at the Great Court Meeting. In the afternoon, the princes will practice literature and martial arts. Fireworks festival..." Rolling his eyes, he said firmly, "I must not go to any of these."

Xiao Fang's honest and honest face immediately wrinkled, "Your Highness, the Holy Majesty is already dissatisfied with you. If you deliberately miss those important occasions tomorrow, I don't know how the Holy Majesty will punish you."

"Punish it." Xia Yan spread his hands.

"Do you have to hide from Mr. Cheng?"

Xia Yan held his chin seriously and said seriously: "Yes, I have hurt him so badly, and when he comes back this time, maybe he will seek revenge from me."

Xiao Fang picked up the road map to look at it, put it down again, and said: "This subordinate thinks that Mr. Cheng is not that kind of person. Besides, it has been more than two years. Since Mr. Cheng is willing to come back, I think it's time to take it easy."

Xia Yan frowned and thought for a while, then said, "That's right, but just in case."

Xiao Fang: "You can't hide forever."

Xia Yan: "It's only a moment to be able to hide for a while."

"The rumors spread like that outside, all of them are half-knowledged and distorted the facts, and His Highness is not worried about clarifying, but now he is very worried about hiding people." Xiao Fang muttered in a low voice, "If people find out, don't they want to say that His Highness is guilty again? "

"Guilty! I'm really guilty! Thinking of Cheng Xi's return, I'm so nervous!" Xia Yan's beautiful face curled into a ball, she got up and walked around the desk, jumping around for a while, "Although the rumors are not the truth , What happened back then is indeed full of inside information, but how can I casually say that it has nothing to do with me and let it go? I ignore the rumors because I don't care about those people, but Cheng Xi is different. I'm a very good person, on such an important day as Jingxiang's fiftieth birthday, I can't show up, and I can't make trouble for them!"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Xiao Fang, he had no choice but to say: "Then it's better to stay in the room?"

Xia Yan said seriously: "You can hide from Cheng Xi by staying in the house, but you can't hide from the guards sent by the emperor to catch me. So I drew a different route for the two of us, I run, you cover, you must be careful." Remember." Seriously, he pressed the road map into Xiao Fang's hands, his eyes were earnest.

Thinking of tomorrow, thinking of that person, Xia Yan suddenly felt as if he was facing a big enemy. He became anxious and had nowhere to vent his anxiety. happy.

In the early morning of the next day, Cheng Xi was awarded the title of doctor of the Ministry of Rites, and he took office a month later.In the afternoon, the crown prince and all the princes gathered in Wensi Hall to discuss literature and martial arts. Today, Emperor Jianping and Prime Minister Jinglan went to watch, accompanied by Cheng Xi.At the same time, Xia Yan and Xiao Fang were like two chrysanthemum mice, fleeing cautiously in the corners of the palace, avoiding the patrolling guards, and did not stop until it was time to light the lamps.

In late autumn, the moon is bright, and the palace willows are blowing in the wind.

In the secluded part of the palace, on the wooden corridor by the lake, Xia Yan sat alone to rest.He was wearing a brocade robe embroidered with silver leaves on a navy blue background, and a short white velvet cape with a collar. His ponytail was tied on the top of his head with a small jade hairpin. Beautiful picture scroll.

The fireworks festival is being prepared in the distance, and the vague bustle and bustle made Xia Yan feel a little depressed. He exhausted all his energy, leaned on the pillar of the porch, put his hands down, bent one leg to push on the seat, and the other drooped. Looking out of the corridor, the toe of the boot seems to be touching the water surface, swaying from time to time, causing ripples.

Feeling a little hungry, he took out from his bosom the pancakes that he took from the imperial dining room at noon, and chewed them regardless of whether they were hard or not. His eyes moved around cleverly, and when he turned upwards, he had a plan—if he climbed up to the roof of the porch, Can't you watch the fireworks?It is said that the fireworks team is very powerful, and they specially arranged many new tricks to celebrate Jing Lan's birthday.

Just do it.

After eating a few mouthfuls, he patted the cake crumbs, leaned on the pillars and stood on the seat, shook his cloak and stepped on his boots, hugged the pillars with his arms, wrapped his legs left and right, took a sharp breath, and climbed up firmly with his eyes!

He doesn't know martial arts, and it is very difficult to climb the pillar. Every time he holds his breath and goes up an inch, he immediately slides down another two inches.After huffing and puffing for a while, the white peony turned into red peony, and my whole body was sweating like a cramp, and finally I wriggled nearly halfway.

"It's just nonsense."

A majestic criticism came through the air, and Xia Yan, who was shrunk on the pillar, shuddered suddenly. He turned his head and saw that the flowers and plants on the other side of the lake opened up, and a large group of people stood there. That is his father, the founding emperor of Daqi, Jianping Emperor Xia Qi!

"The guards of the imperial army have been looking for you for a whole day and haven't found you. You are very capable. Fortunately, Xiao Cheng Aiqing is clever and has figured out your escape route. You are not afraid of losing face, so I will bring everyone to see if the dignified prince can do it. How bad is it?"

Emperor Jianping was heartbroken, and Xia Yan sounded like thunder beating his heart: What Xiaocheng Aiqing?What's smart?What counts as a route?

What's the meaning? !

His sight drifted, and in the shadows of the night lights, there was only one tall man in a white robe, with a handsome figure, full of gentlemanly gentleness, exuding a particularly outstanding, moonlight-like beauty among the messy people, and with a pair of handsome and deep eyes. Eyes looked at him without any emotion.

The moment their eyes met, Xia Yan's brain suddenly burned, his chest vibrated, his heart beat wildly, blood rushed back from his limbs to his head and face, his cheeks and neck were red and hot, his eyes were stinging, and his mouth was dry and tongue dry.

That, that person...

It's... Cheng Xi.

Cheng Cheng Cheng Cheng Cheng... Cheng Xi.

Xia Yan tightened his limbs, and buried his face in his arms in shame. At this moment, what he thought of was not that the plan to avoid Cheng Xi failed so quickly, or how embarrassing it would be to appear in front of everyone with this posture, and that he would be punished. What a punishment, but Cheng Xi...compared to two years ago...seemed to be more stable, more mature, and more handsome.

I really want to see him more...

But can't!Absolutely not!

Xia Yan desperately insisted on hanging on the porch pillar, his whole body was stiff and sore, his breathing was extremely difficult, his beating heart was beating like a drum, his head was beating dizzily and buzzing, but it was replaying very clearly that he broke up with Cheng Xi two years ago. The last words spoken at the time of parting——

At that time, he stood in the hall of their wedding house, looked at Cheng Xi and said, "I just want the Prime Minister to help me clarify my identity, there is nothing else."

The hall is spacious and bright, and the cold echo is deafening.

Cheng Xi was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, and after a while, he always responded with kindness: "I... I have known it for a long time, and I have nothing else in my mind except for the matter of welcoming His Highness back to court. To be blunt, it is inevitable to play a show and offend His Highness, I hope His Highness will forgive me."

He felt that Cheng Xi's tone and expression seemed a little unnatural, as if he was restraining something, but he didn't think too much about it, because his heart was also full of confusion and confusion.

Then, he turned around and left, walked into this magnificent imperial city, and never saw Cheng Xi again until now.

At this moment, Cheng Xi stood there, just like back then, but completely different, the crowds, the moonlight of early autumn, the shadows of the palace lights and the faint fragrance surrounded him heavily, he was still outstanding, he was still outstanding, and he was as good as ever. Xia Yan was dizzy and sweating, and couldn't figure out anything, couldn't see through anything.

"Xiao Cheng Aiqing." Emperor Jianping said.

Cheng Xi bowed gracefully in the crowd, "My minister is here."

"There is still a month before you go to the Ministry of Rites, and you are still idle. Why don't you go to the fourth emperor's womb first, teach him, set an example for him, and find a way to reverse his ignorant appearance." Jianping Didun After a pause, "Yes, for the sake of the fourth prince, I promise you to do things cheaply."

Cheng Xi took a step back with his long legs, flung the hem of his clothes, and gracefully knelt down on one knee, "I obey the order."

Emperor Jianping nodded, and said again: "Jing Qing, Cheng Qing, I will borrow Qing's son for a period of time, is it okay?"

Jing Lan and Cheng You bowed immediately, and Jing Lan said: "The ministers are terrified. Cheng Xi is the son of a humble minister, and even the emperor's minister. It is his honor to serve the emperor. He must never dare to bear the word 'borrow', let alone Dare to ask the emperor specifically."

"Okay." Emperor Jianping smiled, "Let's go, celebrate Jingqing's birthday, and go watch the fireworks."

Emperor Jianping drove, and the harem Junxiu, the prince and the ministers left, leaving Xia Yan alone, trembling and hugging on the porch pillar, in a trance and suffering in his heart: What do you mean?What does it mean to twist him back?Is he a melon on the vine? !

Emperor Jianping was walking all the way, and suddenly there was a loud thumping sound in the distance behind him, and he asked inexplicably, "What's the sound?"

Everyone was silent, Cheng Xi came out and said: "Reporting to the emperor, I think it should be His Highness Fourth... who fell into the water."

Emperor Jianping: "..."

The tiger's eyes narrowed helplessly, and Emperor Jianping sighed: "Go and have a look, Qing, take him to change clothes, the water is cold in autumn, it's so pitiful."

"Of order." Cheng Xi clasped his fists, and bowed to the two fathers again, suppressing a hint of eagerness between his handsome brows, he lifted his clothes and swung his body away.
