ex husband always trying to get me pregnant

Su Lan'er was crying and left surrounded by the maids. Xia Yan pushed Cheng Xi away and rushed to the side, raised her feet and kicked the wall hard for a while, then rushed to the courtyard again, clutching a handkerchief and holding her neck, huffing and panting, as if breathing into her heart and lungs Flesh and blood, as if being deprived of something more important than life.

Cheng Xi stood in astonishment, with a slight movement of his sleeves, Xiao Fang held out a note in his hand.He took it inexplicably, opened it, and was suddenly shocked——

"The towel is the only relic of His Highness's mother. His Highness cherishes it very much. It is kept in a sandalwood box on the case. He looks at it every day and thinks about it all the time."

Cheng Xi folded his palms and crumbled the note, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

After a stick of incense, wash the clothes room.

There was a water basin in front of Xia Yan, and he was about to throw in the towel, but his hand was stopped.

"The ink stains are thick, and this handkerchief is weak, and it will be more easily damaged by rubbing." Cheng Xi observed Xia Yan's expression, "The clothes washing bureau in the palace has a special ointment, which is easy to decontaminate and gentle. If you don't want to wash it in the palace, then I will wash it in the palace." I will take you to the folk garment workshop. The outstanding folk craftsmen are not inferior to Ouchi... In short, I promise, it will be restored to its original state."

There was a light and elegant fragrance of a gentleman on Cheng Xi's body, and Xia Yan's mood calmed down a little, and his fingers moved slightly.Cheng Xi stretched out his hand to try to put on the handkerchief, and said, "Relax, and be careful not to make any creases."

Xia Yan finally let go, and looked down to see Cheng Xi's hand, as Xiao Fang said, it was pale, swollen and wrinkled, and when he looked up again, Cheng Xi's face was gloomy, and his eyes were black and blue.He said in a daze, "You didn't sleep last night? What's wrong with your hands? You took a bath all night? You can't just wash your clothes all night, right?"

A casual question hit the heart, Cheng Xi's eyes flashed, he turned sideways and folded the handkerchief, and said, "No, the hand is... a man insane from practicing kung fu."

Xia Yan: "..."

Xia Yan lowered his head again, Cheng Xi stared at him for a while, then said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

If it weren't for him, Su Lan'er would not have come; if Su Lan'er hadn't come, Xia Yanniang's belongings would not have been broken.

Cheng Xi stopped going out during lunch, and stayed in Rugui Nuange to accompany Xia Yan. Xia Yan had no appetite, didn't speak, and looked gloomy, as if the peony had been broken by the wind.

Before the meal was finished, the chief eunuch, Eunuch Liu Xi, came, and Xuan Xiayan went to Wensi Hall for questioning.Accompanied by Cheng Xi, when they arrived at the place, they could only see the hall full of dignity and brilliance——

Emperor Jianping sat in the middle of the head, and the empress and concubine Li sat on the left and right sides. Standing beside the empress were Prince Xia Zhao and the third prince Xia Huan. Behind Concubine Li were the domineering second prince Xia Ji and the aggrieved Su Lan. Son.

It was drizzling and cold today, Xia Yan was wearing a pine green princely robe and a short white silk cape, and saluted Cheng Xi who was dressed in white brocade.

Emperor Jianping's tiger eyes were deep, he picked up the teacup and glanced at Xia Yan, and said, "Lan'er told me that you bullied her, is there such a thing?"

Xia Yan pulled her face and said: "She entered the Rugui Nuan Pavilion without notification, and used the items in the pavilion without asking."

"What is it that has been used up?" Emperor Jianping lightly shook the floating leaves in the cup.

Xia Yan said: "A towel."

Su Lan'er immediately added: "Just put it there, how do I know it can't be used?!"

"It's not yours, even if it's in front of your hand, you shouldn't touch it." Xia Yan didn't look sideways, and his tone was colder than Qiu Yu's, "Niece and concubine, have you learned the etiquette from dogs?!"

"Presumptuous!" Concubine Li Gui yelled loudly, glanced at Emperor Jianping, and seeing that Emperor Jianping was still drinking tea calmly, she gained the courage to say, "Lan'er was careless for a while, it's not wrong if you don't know, you can stop her from talking about it. That's all, but why did you insult her and push her down? Courtesy?!" sneered, "The Fourth Highness, who is delicious, lazy and ignorant, is talking about etiquette today, it's really funny."

"I didn't push her down." Xia Yan whispered, "I just pulled her out and let her go."

"The dignified prince's words are so vulgar and his actions are so reckless!" Concubine Li raised her eyebrows, "According to your words, did Lan'er fall down on purpose and frame you?!"

Xia Yan said neither arrogant nor humble: "How do I know what's on her mind?"

Concubine Li was taken aback, and looked at Emperor Jianping with an aggrieved expression, "Your Majesty, look..."

Emperor Jianping didn't look at Concubine Li, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

The Queen is a deep man with a peaceful face. He thought for a while and said, "I'm very curious, what kind of scarf did Miss Lan'er wear out? What kind of scarf did Miss Lan'er wear out? How did it make the Fourth Highness so angry? Why don't you take it out and have a look."

Xia Yan's downcast gaze flashed, and Cheng Xi caught it, knowing that he didn't want to show weakness and gain sympathy, he bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the towel is so dirty that I have already thrown it away for Your Highness."

"Oh? Throw it away?" The queen said quietly, "I thought it was something cherished by His Royal Highness."

Su Lan'er interjected: "It's the big palm, square, white thick silk, with a plum blossom on the corner, the very ordinary one." She tried her best to explain that it was Xia Yan who made trouble out of no reason and made a big fuss out of a molehill.However, as soon as the words fell, the Queen's eyes narrowed slightly, and Concubine Li's expression also paused.Xia Yan and Cheng Xi are junior courtiers, they are not allowed to look directly at the elders, and they did not see this slight change.

Then, the Empress bowed sideways to Emperor Jianping and said, "Your Majesty, according to my opinion, both His Highness and Miss Lan'er are wrong."

Concubine Li and the empress have been fighting tit for tat for many years, and she immediately sneered: "Each hit [-] big boards, and the empress is really fair."

The Queen smiled slightly, "It's still difficult for an upright official to break up housework, what does Concubine Li Gui think should be done?"

Concubine Li Gui turned to Emperor Jianping, "Your Majesty, this concubine thinks that the Fourth Highness should make an apology to Lan'er in public."

Xia Yan pursed her lips and clenched her fists. Cheng Xi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have been studying with His Royal Highness in Rugui Nuange recently. Miss Su also came to look for me. Because I am here, I am also ineffective in persuading you. The one who deserves the most punishment for this matter is the minister. Both His Highness and Miss Su are young and energetic, and it was originally just a misunderstanding..."

Speaking of this, the second prince Xia Jiyang interjected: "Young? Are you still young at 20 years old? It's true that you are full of vigor. Under the guidance of the father, the queen, and the concubine, which of us princes would dare to have his temper."

The crown prince Xia Zhao scoffed, "In front of the father, the second brother dare not lose his temper. He usually holds it back and spreads it elsewhere."

"Brother Prince!" Xia Ji glared.

Xia Zhao put his hands behind his back and looked aside leisurely.

"Have you said enough?" Emperor Jianping asked lightly, put down the teacup, and the hall suddenly became tense.

Emperor Jianping said: "Lan'er is wrong, but considering that she is a guest from afar, and she is a first-time offender, and she is a little girl, forget it this time. Concubine Li Gui will take her back and teach her well, as for you." Xia Yan raised his voice a little louder, "You figure it out yourself, how many times have you done it? When will you stop causing trouble for me?!"

Xia Yan lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Emperor Jianping sat on the chair with a stern face, and pointed outward casually, "Stand outside at the base of the wall, facing the wall until sunrise tomorrow."

Cheng Xi immediately knelt down on one knee, "Your Majesty, it's raining today, Your Highness Fourth is weak..."

"You're full of energy, where's your weakness?" Emperor Jianping narrowed his eyes, and leaned forward to look at Xia Yan, "It's a kindness not to punish you to kneel, but today is the knife, so you should stand still!" Look again Cheng Xi said, "Since Xiaocheng Aiqing admits she was at fault, she will be punished with the Fourth Prince!" He stood up and strode out the door.

Everyone followed and left, Su Lan'er looked at Cheng Xi while walking, grabbed Concubine Li's sleeve, leaned into her ear and whispered anxiously: "I'm not going to punish Brother Wuyang..."

Everyone left, and the crown prince Xia Zhao was the last one. He raised his eyebrows at Xia Yan and said, "Don't think that I forgive you by speaking for you today. I don't like the second prince." Cheng Xi grew up together since they were young, and they have a very good friendship, so they don't like this younger brother who came out halfway, deceived and failed his friends.

Xia Yan didn't look at Xia Zhao, and muttered, "I didn't think so."

Xia Zhao: "..."

Sighing deeply, he patted Cheng Xi on the shoulder, signaling him to take care of himself.

Under the outer courtyard wall of Wensi Hall, Xia Yan and Cheng Xi stood side by side.

The autumn rain is pattering, the wind blows at dusk, the raindrops turn into rainlines, the branches sway, and the leaves flutter down.

Xia Yan got a headache from being hit by the rain, so he simply closed his eyes, and Cheng Xi turned his head slightly to look at him.

At night, the rain turns into a rain curtain, the sky is heavy, and the patrolling guards come and go with faint yellow palace lanterns.

Xia Yan was frozen all over, his vision began to blur, and his body began to sway.He gritted his teeth and insisted, suddenly his left hand clenched, and the warm force rushed from the palm into the arm, and penetrated into the heart little by little.

This is... internal force?

Turning her head in panic, she saw Cheng Xi standing upright, with a handsome and resolute face, water droplets on the eyelashes, passing through the cheeks, sliding down the perfect chin.

Xia Yan understood, and said sadly, "Don't do this."

Cheng Xi didn't look at him, but squeezed his hand even more tightly and said, "Be obedient."

The sound of wind and rain weakened the unquestionable persistence in Cheng Xi's words, and added a bit of haziness and tenderness. Xia Yan's heart was knocked suddenly, and then it was blocked tightly.

In the Wensi Hall, the copper pot dripping is beating quietly.

After a while, the wind blows, the rain is raging, and the dark clouds are dark.

Xia Yan was dizzy, with his mouth half open, his eyelids flapping with difficulty, and he staggered several times. The moment he was about to fall to the ground, his entire back, chest, and whole body suddenly became hot, and even his fingertips and toes protruded. Mellow and warm.

Powerful arms passed by his ears, his palms were firmly pressed against the wall in front of him, and his broad and strong chest enveloped him, like a mountain, a net, wrapping and protecting him with light and heat, allowing him to It's like being in a furnace, trapped in a hotbed.

"Cheng Xi..." Xia Yan's heart froze, and his tone was extremely sad.

"Persevere." Cheng Xi's cheek covered with rain was close to Xia Yan's ear, and his whole body continuously released his inner strength, "I know you don't want to bow your head, and you don't want to admit defeat."

Xia Yan turned her head and was taken aback for a moment. Cheng Xi had a complex expression and deep eyes, as if... angry?

"You, what's wrong with you?"

Cheng Xi didn't answer. After a long time, in the middle of the night at an unknown time, when Xia Yan thought it was an auditory hallucination, he suddenly said: "Xiao Fang."

Xia Yan was taken aback.

"He knows everything about you." Cheng Xi said forcefully, "Everything."

Xia Yan didn't know why he said this, and before he could figure it out, Cheng Xi panted again and said, "Before you went to Wensi Hall today, you had already planned to end this matter with a punishment, right? You have already thought about it." Well, 'it's just punished, it's just hurt', isn't it? Why would you treat yourself to…"

Eagerly questioning, the fingers pressed against the wall were clenched regretfully. After the slender knuckles were white and swollen, they experienced continuous rainwater and became even more miserable.And Xia Yan was completely at a loss: Cheng Xi...what happened?

At dawn, the rain finally stopped, and a tinge of light red emerged from the bone-piercing coolness, sprinkled on Cheng Xi's body, like a signal of victory.

Cheng Xi was relieved, he stayed up for two nights, and his body sank down after being exposed to the rain all night and recklessly channeled his internal energy, pressing hard on Xia Yan's shoulder.

Xia Yan supported the wall with both hands, his legs trembled and tried to straighten, he gritted his teeth to bear the weight on his shoulders, and when he turned his head and saw the peaceful sleeping face, showing a little pitiful grievance like lying on the desk that night, his heart finally went crazy Sour, wet eye sockets disappointingly.

He grasped the arms hanging in front of him tightly, his white peony-like face wrinkled into a ball, desperately broke out with all his strength, lowered his head and rubbed his eyes hard on the back of his hands, and said with a sob: "I'm sorry, I'm the one who's sorry for you..."

Cheng Xi's eyes were closed, his consciousness was blurred, and his lips moved slightly, as if responding to Xia Yan's apology, and vaguely spoke words that were extremely unconscious but from the bottom of his heart——

"My master and my wife... the first time we met, the master also treated my wife...to keep out the cold..."

"The crown prince's side concubine also knelt in the rain for His Royal Highness..."

"I'm not sorry, you... girl... I should have..."
