glory [rebirth]

In August 394, Jiang Yao and Mu Qingtong welcomed their second child.

Liangliang is already three years old, and he is thriving in kindergarten.Jiang Yao specially greeted the kindergarten when he entered school, and he did not disclose Liangliang's identity, and the daily pick-up and drop-off were also in charge of the guards, so his life in school was no different from other children.

When Mu Qingtong was pregnant for the first time, Jiang Yao spent most of his time on the front line commanding operations, and then only stayed with him for three weeks before the two separated again.For this, Jiang Yao has always been very regretful, and at the same time very guilty.

So this time Jiang Yao was fully prepared. Less than ten days after stopping the contraceptive measures, Mu Qingtong was found to be pregnant with her second child.

Even if he didn't show it on the face, Mu Qingtong could feel Jiang Yao's ecstatic mood, and he must touch his belly every day before going to bed.

Mu Qingtong told him dumbfounded that it would take at least ten weeks to find out, Jiang Yao muttered why it took so long, and then ordered Mu Qingtong not to hold his son.Mu Qingtong had nothing to say about how cautious he was, and explained several times that holding the baby would have no effect. Jiang Yao directly called the doctor to turn on the speakerphone, and only after hearing the doctor said that holding a baby is heavy physical labor give up.

"Jiang Yao." Mu Qingtong returned to the master bedroom after telling Liangliang a bedtime story, saw Jiang Yao changing clothes, and called him.

Jiang Yao turned to look at him.

"I told Liangliang."

"Huh?" Jiang Yao was stunned for a while, then nodded to understand.

"He was a little upset just now. He was acting like a baby. He asked me to hug him and asked me if I didn't like him anymore." Mu Qingtong said with a smile.

Jiang Yao: "This kid..."

"Then I explained to him that he will have a younger brother or younger sister in seven months, and now he is very happy, and almost did not fall asleep after jumping around for a long time." Mu Qingtong said, "Don't be cruel to him in the future, he It's obedient enough, and smart enough."

"Of course, my son." Jiang Yao said as a matter of course.

Mu Qingtong: "..."

Mu Qingtong continued: "So don't be aggressive with him, reason with him, and he will listen."

Jiang Yao: "Isn't there you?"

Mu Qingtong: "...Okay."

after awhile.

"Your communicator is ringing." Jiang Yao reminded him.

"Is it information?" Mu Qingtong asked, "Help me see it."

"It's from Damian." Jiang Yao clicked on the message, his expression was a little surprised, and he paused for a while before saying, "Schwartz is also pregnant."

"Really?" Mu Qingtong walked over and took a look at the communicator. The message Damian sent was very brief, saying that Schwartz suddenly fainted at work today, found out that he had low blood pressure, and was nine weeks pregnant. I'm going to be a dad too.

"That's great..." Mu Qingtong said, "This way Damian doesn't have to go through the adoption procedures."

"He's going to adopt?" Jiang Yao was a little surprised.

"Well." Mu Qingtong flipped through the previous information to him, "Damian said that because of the child, Xiao Hei has been in a bad mood, so he plans to adopt a younger child...he is worried about Xiao Hei's psychological state in the future. There is a lot of pressure to divorce him, but he himself doesn’t really care about this issue, he even made it clear to his parents.”

Jiang Yao pulled up the information and saw a message about Mrs. Ferguson.

[Damian: My mother said that she and my father don't mind this issue, let me enlighten the rabbit, treat him better, and don't let him care about it. 】【Damian: Actually, I care more about him than the child. 】

Jiang Yao flipped through it casually, and returned the communicator to Mu Qingtong.

"Hasn't Schwartz been recuperating his body?" Jiang Yao said, "He has a good foundation, and he has stopped those medicines for so many years. He will definitely recover. It's only a matter of time."

Seeing that he didn't answer, Mu Qingtong was silent for a while and asked, "When will the office make an announcement?"

"Wait three weeks later." Jiang Yao said, "It's too early now."

"Well, go to sleep." Mu Qingtong stood on tiptoe and kissed Jiang Yao, who hugged his waist and kissed back.

This time Mu Qingtong's pregnancy reaction was much lighter than the last time, and she almost never vomited. It's just that her taste in food has changed, and her appetite has also been affected.

Jiang Yao took the trouble to ask him every day how he was feeling and if there was any discomfort. He was even more nervous than when he became a father for the first time, which made Mu Qingtong very embarrassed.

And Liangliang was no less excited than his own father. Immediately after school, he ran to Mu Qingtong's side, threw the schoolbag away, hugged his thigh and rubbed it twice, and shouted: "Daddy, Daddy!"

Mu Qingtong leaned over and hugged him, and asked softly: "What's the matter, why are you so happy today?"

"I want to touch Dad's belly!" The bright eyebrows look like a miniature version of Jiang Yao, but his personality is completely different from Jiang Yao. He has been alive and kicking since he was a child, and Mu Qingtong is turned over by this kid every day.

"Baby, I can't feel it now." Mu Qingtong said helplessly as he stroked his head, "You can't feel it until your brother or sister grows up."

Liangliang pouted.

Mu Qingtong scratched his nose, took his little hand and walked into the palace.

Liangliang suddenly called him: "Father."

"What's wrong?"

"Can I not have younger siblings?" Liangliang muttered.

Mu Qingtong groaned in his heart, stopped immediately, glanced around, found that there were no servants around, heaved a sigh of relief, squatted down, and asked cautiously: "Liangliang, tell Dad, why don't you suddenly want to Do you want younger siblings? We discussed it before, you said you like younger siblings very much, why did you change your mind?"

"Because, because..." Liangliang hesitated to answer.

Mu Qingtong touched his chubby face and said, "Tell Dad quietly, okay? Dad will never tell Father Wang."

"Really?" Liangliang blinked a few times.

Mu Qingtong stretched out her little finger to hook him up: "Of course, this is our little secret."

Liangliang also stretched out his hand to hook his father, shook it twice with a smile, and said, "Because I want a turtle!"

Mu Qingtong: "???"

"A very big tortoise came to the kindergarten today. We fed it vegetables, but it carried me on its back! I like it so much!" Liangliang made a circle gesture and said with an exaggerated expression, "Daddy can give birth to a tortoise ?"

Mu Qingtong: "..."

Mu Qingtong couldn't help laughing, and looked at him solemnly, not knowing what he was laughing at.

Mu Qingtong stood up and pulled him to continue walking. She couldn't catch her breath for a long time, and laughed again as she walked.

"Father..." Liangliang was displeased by his reaction, aggrieved and confused at the same time.

"Hahaha..." Mu Qingtong rubbed his stiff face and said, "Father can only give birth to younger brothers and sisters, not tortoises."

"Why?" Liangliang looked a little disappointed.

"Because only tortoises can give birth to tortoises." Mu Qingtong explained, "Just like dogs give birth to puppies, don't you think cats can only give birth to kittens?"

"Oh..." Liangliang's mood was visibly depressed.

"But you really like tortoises, so dad will buy you one?" Mu Qingtong said, "After you buy it, you have to take good care of it, you know?"

After hearing this sentence, Liangliang's expression instantly bloomed: "Really? Dad, you are so kind!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his mouth up, bouncing up and down to kiss his father's face. Mu Qingtong had no choice but to lean over to let him kiss him, and asked, "Do you want to eat some steamed buns today?" ?”

"Yes, yes!" Liangliang said quickly, "I want to eat three!"

After ten weeks, the development of the fetus has obviously accelerated, and a raised round ball can be touched with the hand. Jiang Yao feels very happy every day before going to bed.

Although Mu Qingtong didn't have too many adverse reactions this time, she sometimes felt chest tightness and had to go outside frequently, so she sometimes went to play with Schwartz.

For Damian and his wife, this child is not easy to come by. In order to avoid accidents, Schwartz has already taken leave to raise the baby at home, and the computer has not been turned on for a long time.

When Mrs. Ferguson heard the news that Schwartz was pregnant, she called Damian and said that she would come to Yar to take care of him, but she gave up under Schwartz's strong opposition, saying that it would not be too late to come after the child was born.

Compared to Mu Qingtong, Schwartz had a very hard time during pregnancy. The dna test showed that he was carrying a male baby with xy chromosome, and his activity level was even higher than that of Liangliang. fidgeting.Her mental state was much worse than before she was pregnant, she lost a lot of hair, and her complexion was extremely ugly.

Damian was in a state of anxiety, but there was nothing he could do. The joy of becoming a father for the first time had long been diluted by worries. Fortunately, his work was relatively easy, and he spent a lot of time with his wife every day.

He specially bought a video camera to record Schwartz's daily changes, and planned to save it on a CD after his son was born, and show it to him when he grew up.

Mu Qingtong thought Damian's idea was good, and discussed it with Jiang Yao when he was going to go back, but he forgot after returning to the palace to play with Liangliang for a while.

By the time Mu Qingtong was 18 weeks pregnant and her belly was obvious, Schwartz had already been admitted to the hospital to wait for delivery. Damian asked his parents to come to Yar City to take care of him, and he would start to take a vacation after the expected date of delivery.

The dna test of the prenatal checkup showed that this time the baby was also a boy, but the chromosome was xy, so Jiang Yao was very much looking forward to the baby's appearance, and he had been imagining the shrunken version of Mu Qingtong who had been dreaming for a long time.

On the night when Schwartz entered the hospital, Jiang Yao put his arm around Mu Qingtong's waist, wrapped him in his arms, and said in his ear, "Why don't we just have these two? Don't have any more in the future."

"Why did you say that suddenly?" Mu Qingtong wanted to turn over, but was held tightly by Jiang Yao and couldn't move.

Jiang Yao kissed his ear, whispered: "Don't move..."

"Are you scared by Xiao Hei?" Mu Qingtong said with a little amused smile.

Jiang Yao didn't answer.

Mu Qingtong put his hand on the back of his hand and said, "Don't scare yourself, I'm different from him. I was uncomfortable at first when I was pregnant with Liangliang, but it gradually got better later. And this time you Isn't he always by my side, this child is much quieter than Liangliang, and he hasn't moved much until now."

"Hmm..." Jiang Yao said sullenly.

"By the way, Jiang Yao, this kid loves to sleep so much, why don't he just call him Zhuzhu?" Mu Qingtong suggested.

Jiang Yao: "..."

Jiang Yao couldn't bear the way he named him, and said speechlessly, "Can't you think of something nice?"

"Tsk." Mu Qingtong turned over, glared at Jiang Yao, and questioned, "I let you choose the first name, and both children have your last name. This is my son. You are not allowed to have a nickname. I'll take it for him, I didn't realize you were so overbearing before?"

"...Okay, okay, listen to you, listen to you, I will be called Zhuzhu." Jiang Yao hurriedly said, "You can choose your nickname."

"Piggy is so cute, it's white and fat, what's wrong with it?" Mu Qingtong asked back, "You discriminate against this name? If you don't like it, don't eat meat."

Jiang Yao: "..."

Jiang Yao: "Okay, okay, listen to you, I told you to listen to you."

After listening to Jiang Yao's answer, Mu Qingtong lowered his head and laughed muffledly, shaking his shoulders, covering his stomach and burying his head in Jiang Yao's chest.

Jiang Yao: "???"

Jiang Yao frowned and stared at his smooth back neck for a while before reacting, reached out and pinched his wife's chin to make him look up at him, and said in a deep voice, "Did you do it on purpose?"

Mu Qingtong didn't answer, but smiled with the corners of his eyes crooked, hugged Jiang Yao's neck, leaned over and kissed him.

Jiang Yao kissed back fiercely, and Mu Qingtong wrapped his legs around his waist, and then the pajama pants were ripped off, and the half-hard lower bodies of the two rubbed against each other.

Mu Qingtong said intermittently: "I forgot... I asked, I asked you, have you thought about your son's name?"

Jiang Yao gnawed on his collarbone, and kept walking on his back with his hands, panting heavily: "Call Jiang Jing..."

"What..." Mu Qingtong asked in confusion.

Jiang Yao sucked his nipple in one mouthful, and Mu Qingtong raised her head and panted, "Ah... take it easy, you take it easy..."

"It's called Jiang Jing..." Jiang Yao repeated, holding Mu Qingtong's lower abdomen and said, "Don't move around, I'll come..."

……

Mu Qingtong's belly was getting bigger day by day, and when he couldn't cover it with a coat, the office released a photo of him and Jiang Yao.

Liangliang was on winter vacation and pestered Mu Qingtong to play with him in the palace all day long, asking Mu Qingtong to tell him stories and learn Chinese characters.

Mu Qingtong's own memory has been affected, and he doesn't remember many fairy tales, and basically reads to him according to the books.However, Liangliang has a superb memory, and he remembers clearly the stories he heard once, and expresses that he does not want to hear them again.

So Mu Qingtong had to tell him some historical stories that he knew in his previous life. Liangliang was obviously more interested in these themes than fairy tales, listened to them with great interest, and asked some questions from time to time.

"dad……"

Mu Qingtong yawned and stroked his son's hairy head: "Huh?"

"Are you wanting to sleep again?" Liangliang dragged her chin and asked.

Mu Qingtong nodded and said tiredly, "Dad needs to sleep for a while before he can tell you a story. Are you sleepy?"

"Then dad...I want to touch my brother." Liangliang climbed up to Mu Qingtong's side, put his little hand on his stomach, and said to himself, "My brother is not coming out yet, I want to play with him..."

"Can't wait?" Mu Qingtong said with a smile.

"Yeah!" Liang Liang nodded and said, "I want to feed the turtle with him!"

"He'll be born when you start school." Mu Qingtong yawned again, "Will you take a nap with Dad? Or by yourself?"

"I want to sleep with Dad!" Liangliang said immediately.

"Then take off your clothes, fold them and put them next to the bed." Mu Qingtong patted his buttocks.

After the two lay down, Liangliang was still full of energy and fiddled with Mu Qingtong's nose with his hand.

Mu Qingtong grabbed his hand and said patiently, "Honey, can you sleep for a while?"

"dad……"

"Huh?" Mu Qingtong had already closed her eyes.

"Why do you and the kindergarten teacher want me to take a nap?"

"Because I'm tired after working all morning, taking a nap can keep my energy up."

"What is energy?"

"It's about having the strength to do things... Look at Daddy's current state, if you don't sleep, you can't do anything."

"The father's strength is so great, is he secretly taking a nap?" Liangliang asked tirelessly.

Mu Qingtong: "..."

Mu Qingtong: "Your father is the emperor. There are too many things to do, so there is no time to take a nap. Sometimes he will come back to sleep when he is not busy."

"dad……"

"Um?"

"Then father won't have time to sleep at night?"

"That's not true. Why do you ask that?" Mu Qingtong felt a little strange. When he opened his eyes, he saw his son's enlarged face in front of him.

"Because, because..." Liangliang hesitated for a while before sticking out a little finger, "Dad, let's pull the hook."

"What's the hook for?"

"I'll tell you quietly, don't tell your father..."

Mu Qingtong laughed and said, "Okay, Lagou, I won't tell him..."

Only then did Liangliang whisper: "Because I don't want him to come back to sleep at night."

"why?"

"I want to sleep with daddy...as soon as my father came back, he drove me to a small room. I like to sleep with my father." Liangliang pouted aggrievedly, "my father hates me the most..."

Mu Qingtong smiled and said, "Acting like a baby again?"

Liangliang snorted and stopped talking.

"Father and Dad slept alone when they were young. You are a man, you have to be independent since you were a child, you know?" Mu Qingtong yawned again, "Go to sleep, Dad is really sleepy..."

"Good afternoon, Dad." Liangliang kissed Mu Qingtong on the face, "I'm going to play football this afternoon!"

"it is good……"

Jiang Yao is busy with various state affairs every day, and the family of three rarely get together during the day.After dinner in the afternoon, if Jiang Yao is not busy, he will guide his son on the lawn to train his body strength.

Liangliang looked completely different in front of Jiang Yao, his cold face was exactly the same as his own father's when he was a child, Mu Qingtong was inconvenient to move around, and took a lot of photos of the father and son playing together with the camera, completely paralyzed A little facial paralysis.

Probably because he vaguely realized that his family was different from other children since he was a child. Liangliang felt more in awe of his father than ordinary children, so that he seldom communicated with Jiang Yao, and would go to Mu Qingtong if he had any questions. There.

At the beginning, Mu Qingtong was worried that the relationship between father and son would become unfamiliar, so he asked his son on the sidelines what he thought of his father, and after being shy for a while, he whispered that he would become a follower when he grew up An emperor like his father.Only then did Mu Qingtong feel relieved, and then changed the topic.

Jiang Yao likes to hug Mu Qingtong from behind, put his face on the top of his head, and wrap him in his arms. Mu Qingtong himself also enjoys such a very secure standing posture.

Jiang Yao watched him grow up in Mu Qingtong's stomach little by little. The feeling was very strange. It was different from the first time he touched the light through the belly. This emotion was more delicate and long-lasting.He couldn't describe his feelings, it was like a small piece that was missing in his heart was slowly being filled until it overflowed, illuminating his entire atrium.

On the day of giving birth to his second son, Mu Qingtong's back suddenly became sore in the middle of the night, and Jiang Yao was always by his side to accompany him, so he quickly called the doctor and nurse.

After a while Mu Qingtong started to have labor pains, Jiang Yao was frightened by his pale face, but Mu Qingtong comforted him and said nothing was wrong between the pains.

As time went by, Mu Qingtong's pain became more and more frequent, and the pain became more and more intense, and finally he couldn't hold back his cry.

Then Mu Qingtong was pushed into the operating room, Jiang Yao stood in the corridor with weak legs, and finally had to sit and wait for the baby to be born.

After waking up, Liangliang was sent to the hospital by the housekeeper, and almost cried when she saw Jiang Yao.The father and son sat together, and Liangliang kept asking nervously when his younger brother would be born and if his father was okay.Jiang Yao himself was in a panic, and it was even worse when his son made such a fuss, but he still had to pretend to be calm.

The father and son stared at each other, Jiang Yao said to his son, "When your mother gave birth to you, he was the only one in the hospital."

"Hmm..." Liangliang sniffed, tears welling in her eyes.

"At that time, the regime was unstable, and Herman wanted to rebel, so I had to separate from your mother." Jiang Yao continued: "Without him, I would not be emperor, let alone you, do you know?"

Liang Liang nodded, wiped his eyes and said in a crying voice, "I will listen to my father's words..."

With the first experience, the delivery this time was actually much smoother than the last time. It took less than five hours from the first signs to the birth of the baby, and Mu Qingtong did not fall into a coma due to weakness.

The size of the second son was smaller than that of the elder son when he was born, weighing 1160g. Jiang Yao looked at his son and went directly to Mu Qingtong's ward.

Liangliang looked at his brother curiously on tiptoe through the glass, and Henry picked him up when he saw this.

"Mr. Henry, my younger brother doesn't look like me..." Liangliang said.

"Your Highness, His Highness the Second Prince will look like you in a while, he is still too young."

"Brother is so small...then I was born like him too?"

"Yes, Your Highness." In fact, Henry didn't know exactly what kind of question he was asking, but just answered it accordingly.

"Will my brother come out later?"

"Yes, Your Highness. If the second prince's body functions are normal, he will be sent to the Queen's ward later." Henry replied, "Do you want to go there, Your Highness?"

Liangliang thought for a while, but still shook his head, and refused: "Father is not here, I want to accompany my younger brother, I will go with him later."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Mu Qingtong fell asleep lightly, and her stomach didn't go away immediately like last time. Jiang Yao didn't understand why, and she was relieved after asking the doctor.

The staff of the royal office sent the press release of the second prince's birth to Jiang Yao, who signed it before releasing it.

"Jiang Yao..." Mu Qingtong called him softly.

Jiang Yao returned the signed manuscript, and immediately walked to the bed and said, "What's wrong?"

"When will Piggy come over?"

"After a while." Jiang Yao took his hand and said.

"Hmm..." Mu Qingtong closed her eyes for a while.

"Does it still hurt?" Jiang Yao asked.

Mu Qingtong shook his head and said, "It's much better."

"Thank you for your hard work." Jiang Yao kissed his palm, "I will never give birth again..."

Mu Qingtong nodded eagerly.

The two were talking, when a small bed was pushed in, Liangliang followed behind, and when he saw Mu Qingtong, he jumped on it, but he was too short, so he could only put his hands on the side of the bed.

"Father..." Liangliang's eyes were red, and his words were a little out of tune.

"Why didn't you go to kindergarten?" Mu Qingtong asked, touching his face.

"Father asked me to come." Liangliang sniffed and replied, "Dad, you are so great, I will definitely listen to you in the future, and I will never be mischievous again."

Mu Qingtong: "???"

Mu Qingtong glanced at Jiang Yao strangely, and Jiang Yao had already turned to look at his second son.

Mu Qingtong: "..."

Perhaps it was because Jiang Yao had talked about it too many times, Zhuzhu's outline was more like Mu Qingtong, with very soft brows and eyes, very much like a purebred Asian baby.

Jiang Yao carefully carried his son to Mu Qingtong's side, Liangliang stood on tiptoe to observe his younger brother up close, but he couldn't see him.

Zhuzhu had been falling asleep without opening his eyes. Mu Qingtong took him over and poked his mouth with his finger. The little guy was the same as when Liangliang was born, thinking it was food, and subconsciously moved his mouth and tongue.

Liangliang stood on the chair and asked, "Dad, can I touch my brother? I've washed my hands!"

"Touch him lightly, don't wake him up." Mu Qingtong said, "Look at his fingers."

"Brother is so small." Liangliang said again, he compared his small hands with Zhuzhu's, and found that he was really too small, and at the same time felt very amazing.

The newborn's skin is very soft and looks red, giving the illusion that it will be punctured at any time.Liangliang held his breath and hooked his younger brother's finger, then looked at Mu Qingtong excitedly.

After having a son, Jiang Yao was completely ignored. He stood aside and watched the interaction between his wife and children stupidly, unable to get in the conversation.

Three days later, Mu Qingtong was discharged from the hospital smoothly. The national news was reporting the birth of the new royal family members. The road outside the hospital cordon was surrounded by reporters. When Jiang Yao and Mu Qingtong appeared at the hospital gate with the child in their arms It kept ringing, and although the distance was too far, only a few blurred figures could be seen, but the reporters never tired of it.

After the full moon, Zhuzhu's facial features gradually opened up, very similar to Mu Qingtong when he was a child. Jiang Yao teased him whenever he had something to do, and the time spent in the office was significantly reduced.

The second son eats and sleeps all day, sleeps and eats, and hardly wakes up. His daily life is very apt to his nickname.

At first, Mu Qingtong was worried that there was something wrong with him that caused him to be so lethargic, but the doctor told him that it was due to individual differences in children, so he was relieved.

Liangliang talks a lot to his younger brother every day. Although he talks to himself, he still likes to lie on the side of the crib and talk endlessly.

The office released several photos of a family of three together. Considering Liangliang's kindergarten life, he did not appear in the group photo, but the private photos are almost all of a family of four.

The second son liked to sleep on Mu Qingtong just like Liangliang when he was a child, but Jiang Yao never objected, but he was afraid that Mu Qingtong would be too hard to take care of the child, so sometimes he would hug him for a while.

When Liangliang first entered the palace, he was sometimes taken care of by servants, but Zhuzhu has been with his two fathers all the time since he was born.

Probably because of heredity, even though Zhuzhu is smaller than Liangliang, his appetite is equally astonishing. Liangliang stares dumbfounded at his younger brother's gurgling and gurgling milk, and pouts as soon as the bottle is removed.

Liangliang tried to put his finger near his brother's mouth, but Zhuzhu closed his eyes and sucked his finger, which made him pull back immediately in fright, and thought that his brother was so funny.
