Delicious wine and delicacies, piano music, singing and dancing were prepared on the boat, and Xia Yan and Cheng Xi had a good time in the cabin first. After eating and drinking enough audio-visual pleasure, they went outside the cabin hand in hand to enjoy the lake view in the evening breeze.

The gate at the back gate of the garden is opened, the lake water flows into the Linjiang River, and the painted boat sails in. The water rushes forward for a while, and the vision is wide, and people's hearts are also happy.

"Jingji Zhujiang, Qingzhou Lanjiang, and Huzhou Linjiang are the three major water veins in my dynasty. Now I have seen them all, and they are indeed extraordinary." Cheng Xi took Xia Yan and helped him put on the cloak and hood.

"I haven't been to Lanjiang yet!" Xia Yan raised his head from his hood and said regretfully, "Zhujiang only went to the Qingxi River, so it's not really seen."

"Let's go see it together when we get back to the capital." Cheng Xi stroked his hood, "Lanjiang is easy to say, my father's ancestral home is Qingzhou, and he will definitely go back to worship his ancestors in the future."

"Yeah." Xia Yan nodded seriously, a question flashed in his mind, and said, "Cheng Xi, do you want a son or a daughter?" Without waiting for an answer, he said "uh", "It must be a daughter, right?"

Cheng Xi laughed at himself helplessly: "I really don't know how I left such an impression on you."

Xia Yan squinted her eyes to feel the fresh air on the river, and shook her head happily, "Just say so."

Cheng Xi said, "I haven't thought about it."

"Huh?" Xia Yan looked at him blankly.

Cheng Xi looked at Xia Yan with a smile, "To be honest, from the moment I knew you were pregnant, I was in the midst of great joy, as if I was dizzy, besides wishing you and the baby healthy and safe every day, I didn't have time to think about anything."

"No way." Xia Yan reached out and touched his face unexpectedly, "How did you become so stupid?"

"This should be the foolishness that every husband who marries his beloved as his wife, and every father who is about to have a child must go through." Cheng Xi said proudly.

"What nonsense?" Xia Yan patted Cheng Xi's shoulder seriously, "Think about it now."

Cheng Xi stretched out his hand and hugged Xia Yan into his arms, saying: "Both son and daughter are well."

"Perfunctory!" Xia Yan raised his head and curled his lips.

Cheng Xi said with an innocent face: "Speak the truth."

Xia Yan looked at his face carefully, and really couldn't see any flaws, so he said: "Okay, then I will assign you a task, to name our little baby, first think of a few male and female names! It will take a long time. The kind that sounds good and is very knowledgeable!"

Cheng Xidao: "According to your status, after the child is born, the Ministry of Rites should propose a name, and the Holy Majesty will choose..."

"No matter!" Xia Yan waved his hand, "I want to name my little baby myself, and no one can stop me!"

"Hey." Cheng Xi sighed intentionally, "No wonder His Majesty treats you so hard."

Xia Yan snorted and threatened, "Will you take it or not?"

"Take it." Cheng Xi said firmly, "I will obey Madam's order, and I must take it carefully, earnestly, and desperately."

Xia Yan's complexion improved a little, and he patted his chest and said, "It's not too bad."

Cheng Xi looked at him with a serious expression, and after hesitating for a moment, he said: "Yan'er, you may not like to hear some words, but it happens to be here, so I want to talk to you."

"What?" Xia Yan narrowed his eyes in a daze.

"Your relationship with the Holy One."

When Xia Yan heard this, his face immediately wrinkled.

Cheng Xi said, "Don't want to talk?"

Xia Yan lowered his head, moved his feet back and forth, and finally said, "Speak."

Cheng Xi hugged him from behind, let him relax and lean into his arms, then held his hands, and put them on the already round belly, and said in a gentle voice: "After all, the Holy Majesty is the Holy Majesty, he is destined to be unable to Don't you think it's pitiful to show love directly to your children like other fathers, and not be able to receive the most direct care from your children like other fathers?"

Xia Yan was startled.

"The Holy Majesty's heart is also fleshy, but everyone often ignores this." Cheng Xi said.

Xia Yan stretched out his foot and kicked the side of the boat, curled his lips and said aggrievedly: "Then my heart is also fleshy."

"But the Holy One is a venerable and an elder, and he needs someone to show weakness and get close first. You are no longer a child, do you want him to hold you in his arms?" Cheng Xi smiled next to Xia Yan's ear, "Heaven and earth, only I will do this to you."

Xia Yan opened his eyes slightly, his heart trembling slightly.

"I've always felt that the Holy Majesty actually loves you very much. That kind of love is completely different from the way he treats His Royal Highness and others. It's just because he used his own way, which made it hard for you to notice." Cheng Xi said, "Thinking about the past, the Holy Majesty, look. He pretends to be extremely harsh on you, but in fact it’s all thunder and rain, isn’t it like playing house and teasing you?”

"Playing house to tease me?" Xia Yan raised her eyebrows and kicked the side of the boat continuously with her toes, "Cut down my food and clothing expenses, let me face the wall in the rain, and throw me to your house when I'm sick and injured. Don't bother me, don't even ask me a word during the Chinese New Year, these are just playing tricks to tease me?!"

"But he left Xiao Fang by your side, even though Xiao Fang has no official position, nor is he a palace guard; I will accompany you in the rain and face the wall; also, why did you come to my house instead of someone else's when you were sick and injured for the Chinese New Year? Cheng Xi paused, "Think about it again, if you don't go to school and be lazy all day long, why would His Majesty prefer to wait two years for me to come back, instead of directly finding a strict teacher to discipline you? They both came to Huzhou, why did the two It is well known that the prince was demoted, but you used a false name as the county magistrate?"

Xia Yan stopped kicking the boat.

Cheng Xi lowered his body and gave him more strength, "I don't want you to change anything at this moment, but I just want to tell you that many things need to be thought carefully instead of just looking at one side. I know you attach great importance to family affection, So, don’t miss it just because of a momentary mood.”

"Hmm." Xia Yan looked at the boundless river, felt the warm embrace and the slight twitching in his belly, and murmured after a long time, "I see... thank you."

Cheng Xi's love for him is not only selfless dedication and passionate possession, but also the guidance and teachings of a confidant and friend.

Cheng Xi is so nice.

After taking a bath together that night, Xia Yan sat on the edge of the bed in a tunic, propped up the bed with both palms, her lower abdomen was slightly shy, looking at Cheng Xi who was kneeling in front of her, her face flushed.

"Should, really?"

"Didn't it be agreed a long time ago?" Cheng Xi smiled at him.

"But at this point, I'm, I'm a little embarrassed." Xia Yan said in a low voice.

"It's okay, you won't be embarrassed later." Cheng Xi's smile deepened, and he lowered his head.

Xia Yan's breathing was stagnant, his whole body was tense, and even his toes were clasped.

At first, he could barely maintain a trace of sobriety, but later, he was completely dizzy, and fell on the cushion, his cheeks were red and his eyes were watery, looking absently at his round belly amidst the crystal clear and shaking of the cabin, looking at it. With the smooth black hair on the top of Cheng Xi's head, he looked at the increasingly blurred decorations and candles around him.

Ever since he vomited the time they met again, Cheng Xi never asked him to, and sometimes he couldn't help begging for sex, and it was just a superficial taste.

But tonight was different. Tonight they indulged completely, as if because they changed places, they gave birth to a lot of freshness. The intense involvement was inextricably linked, and it was even more exciting than the first time.

……

Afterwards, Xia Yan hung naked on Cheng Xi's body. Cheng Xi covered the two of them with a quilt, supported Xia Yan's belly with one hand, gently kissed his forehead, and asked, "Is it hard? Are you uncomfortable?"

Xia Yan shook his head, hugged Cheng Xi tightly, and said after a long time, "I never thought I would experience this."

Cheng Xi was slightly surprised.

"Being with the person I like, having our little baby, going to play together, seeing a lot of beautiful scenery, and doing a lot of interesting things, I never thought about it." Xia Yan looked up at Cheng Xi eagerly, showing self-defeating "You're so kind, I'm so lucky, and I'm so stupid! You gave me such a big and such a good surprise, but I gave back the one I gave you last year! I also thought about preparing a different one for you. gift, but..."

In the end, I still couldn't come up with a particularly satisfactory one.

"I'm always inferior to you! I'm always being compared!" Xia Yan said depressingly.

"But you are willing to stay with me forever, this is the most precious gift to me." Cheng Xi said seriously.

"This doesn't count!" Xia Yan frowned.

"Then...you can give birth to a baby for me, but I can't, so forget it?" Cheng Xi coaxed with a smile.

Xia Yan thought to himself that this should be considered, but it was still not what he wanted, so he looked distressed.

Cheng Xi stretched out his hands to rub the top of his head, and said, "Based on my experience, surprises are not just thinking about it, but a sudden inspiration. If you really want to surpass me, then don't just focus on the present. The days are still long, and you will take this Just keep things in mind and be ready at any time.”

When Xia Yan heard that this was indeed the truth, she was a little happy, so she put her arms around Cheng Xi's neck and said, "Then you are also ready to accept it at any time!"

"Yeah." Cheng Xi nodded with a smile, "We'll wait and see."

So in the early morning of the second day, when Xia Yan woke up before Cheng Xi, he had a sudden idea of ​​a surprise.

Turning his eyes and curling his mouth, he gently lifted the quilt and shrank his body carefully.

Xia Yan understood that the short trip to Linjiang City was their last happy leisure in the near future.Big events are approaching, crises are numerous, and they must take responsibility.

After returning to Xuanwu County, life returned to normal.

Cheng Xi is in charge of formulating strategies, training troops and preparing for defense, and contacting news. He is in charge of internal management of people's livelihood, sufficient food, grass and equipment, and self-improvement—practice archery, read history books and military books, discuss opinions with Cheng Xi, and talk to the baby who grows up every day when he is really tired. , Read the annotations written by my mother in the past, or learn to draw literati paintings.

In mid-February, spring was already warm, Xia Yan stood in the courtyard with arms outstretched, raised his feet, bowed and swayed left and right, and happened to be seen by Cheng Xi who entered the door.

"What are you doing?" Cheng Xi asked in surprise.

Xia Yan bent over, stood with his feet apart and raised his arms flat, raised his head and said seriously: "I want to try to see if my ears can stick to my stomach, and I also want to listen to the baby's movements like you!"

"Beware of hurting yourself." Cheng Xi smiled and stepped forward, "I have no choice but to listen from the outside. You can clearly feel it from the inside, so why do you still envy me?"

Xia Yan thought it was reasonable, got up and stood up, saw Cheng Xi holding a scroll in his hand, and asked, "Hmm. What is this?"

Cheng Xi's expression faltered, he took a breath and said, "Words."

Xia Yan was startled, "The second prince really made a move?"

Cheng Xi said with a "hmm": "The timing is consistent with what I expected. Presumably he will besiege the city at dawn tomorrow."

Xia Yan's expression turned cold immediately, and he said, "What does the call to action say?"

"Naturally, you and I will be labeled traitors." Cheng Xi unwrapped the scroll, raised his eyes to confirm, "Want to listen?"

In an instant, Xia Yan, who was used to being happy and flirting with Cheng Xi, disappeared. An unprecedented spirit and determination surged up in his heart, and he raised his face proudly and said, "Read!"
