Chu Lang

Ever since she found out that she was pregnant, Chu Yue became very careful. In his words, "It's the first time crossing the river by feeling for the stones, so you must be more cautious."Because his body was weak and he was the first child, Tang Zhong also felt that it was better to be careful until the fetal image was stable.Gulzhen and the others didn't dare to get angry when they found out, for fear that they would hurt Chu Yue by playing around.

However, since he found out that Chu Yue was pregnant, Gu Erzhen's thinking obviously went to another dimension.

"Azhong, why can Chu Yue have children, but you can't?" Gulzhen has asked Tang Zhong this question more than once.

Tang Zhong rolled his eyes at him and said, "Ah Zhen, why can Chu Yue have children but you can't."

Gulzhen thought about this question carefully, and then explained to Tang Zhong: "We Huns have never had a man who can give birth to children."

"Not every man in our Central Plains can have children." Tang Zhong said, "If you want children so much, you can either transform yourself into one, or find a woman to have children. In short, don't bother me."

Gul really hummed, and Tang Zhong couldn't get out of bed for three days.

The feeling of being pregnant is not very comfortable. After all, there is an extra thing in the body that will keep growing, but fortunately, Chu Yue's reaction is not very obvious. In the first three months, there is basically no nausea and vomiting, but occasionally feel no What appetite can't eat anything.

The child grew up day by day, and before she knew it, a small hill had bulged in Chu Yue's belly. It wasn't too big, it looked a little small, but it was very cute.However, although Chu Yue was wearing loose clothes, the robe was indeed not enough to cover it up.

But Chu Yue wasn't bothered by her out-of-shape figure, instead she became more and more looking forward to the child in her womb.

One afternoon, when he was sitting in his room reading a book as usual, he suddenly felt his stomach move, as if the stomach of someone who had been hungry for a long time made a "gurgling" sound, but it was not exactly the same.Although they were all movements from the stomach, the feeling of fetal movement was very strange, which he had never felt in his nearly 20 years of life.

He quickly put his hand on his stomach, and the child moved slightly as if feeling his father's expectation.

This was the first time the life in his belly had interacted with him since it existed. He was so excited that he wanted to cry, but after thinking about it, he felt that this was too embarrassing, so he forcibly held back his tears.

--------

Xie Changge originally thought that he would be able to return to Chang'an soon, but because it took more time to inspect various places than expected, he was forced to delay his return to the court until the end of summer.

"Shixuan, tell the people at Honglu Temple that you only want to meet Nanzhao's Fifth Prince."

Xie Changge almost stepped into the East Palace with his front foot, and then gave orders on his back foot.He had thought a lot in the past few months, and felt that no matter what he had to give Ziyu an explanation, no matter how many wives and concubines he would have in the future, the position of crown princess must be reserved for Ziyu.But before marrying Zi Yu, he had to officially push back this fictitious marriage, and tell the fifth prince not to have any wishful thinking about marrying into the palace.Of course, if the fifth prince does not want to marry the king, it is not impossible to be a vase-like concubine in the East Palace - the premise is that he will not embarrass Ziyu.

Chu Yue was having dinner with a group of people in the lobby, and was caught off guard by the news that she was going to meet the prince tomorrow, her hands shook, and a pair of chopsticks fell to the ground.

"Don't panic, it's okay." Tang Zhong comforted him.

Chu Yue rubbed her belly, fortunately it wasn't too big, and it would probably be possible to hide it when the time came, but she suddenly remembered what her uncle said, and couldn't help but worry again: "What if the crown prince can't think about it and wants to be with you?" What if I get married?"

"It's a big deal and run away. Gurzhen is here. What are we afraid of?" Tang Zhong poked Gurzhen with his elbow.

Gul really nodded, reassuring him: "I'm here, at worst, I'll take you back to the grassland when the time comes."

"Then... so what should I do?" Chu Yue asked again.

Tang Zhong supported his forehead and said: "If he dares to admit that the child is his, it's no big deal. Anyway, it's their Xie family's own business, so let them make trouble. If they don't admit it, we will go back with Gulzhen. Why would a heartless man want him? Ziyu, you usually see things very clearly, why do you become confused when it comes to yourself? The authorities are obsessed?"

Gu Erzhen interjected: "It may also be one pregnancy and three years."

It was only then that Chu Yue realized that she had led herself into a dead end, and this matter was actually not difficult to solve.

Even though he said the same thing, Tang Zhong still felt uneasy that Chu Yue was really going to enter the palace.Qingsong was too young, so he panicked whenever something happened, and Mo Zhu was a rough guy who didn't know how to take care of others. After much deliberation, he finally decided to accompany Chu Yue to the palace by himself.

Facts proved that Tang Zhong's decision was correct. The prince was not a thing, and he called them to the Qingxin Hall in the East Palace, but the guards at the gate of the palace stopped them outside: "His Royal Highness is playing chess with His Royal Highness King An, Order that no one is allowed to come and disturb."

Why are you back?Thinking of meeting Guzhi soon, Chu Yue was a little unspeakably excited, but he didn't know how to explain to Guzhi why he suddenly became the prince of Zhao Kingdom.

Chu Yue suppressed her excitement and apprehension, quietly covered her sleeves on her belly, and said to the guards neither humble nor overbearing: "It was His Royal Highness who personally ordered me to come, why did he suddenly say that no one else was there? I'd better trouble you Go in and pass it on."

The guard thought about it, if the prince of Nanzhao really married into the East Palace, he really couldn't afford to offend him, so he opened the door and entered the palace.

Xie Changge and Xie Zimo were playing chess in the Xipian Hall. When Xie Zimo heard that Xie Changge wanted to meet Prince Nan Zhao, he couldn't hide his curiosity immediately, and insisted on coming over to see what the legendary Chu Lang looked like.Xie Changge didn't mind the arrival of King An at all. In a sense, King An also did him a big favor, giving him a reason to show off Prince Nanzhao.

"Your Highness, Prince Zhaoguo is asking to see you."

Xie Changge glanced at the guard and said, "Tell him to wait outside. Gu will announce him in after playing chess with King An."

Xie Zimo dropped the white piece on the chessboard with a "slap", and asked, "Why do you keep him waiting?"

Xie Changge said with a smile: "After all, he is from Nanzhao, so it's okay to ask him to wait. If you don't show them the power to see, they really think we are afraid of them."

Because the South Show and the North Li are both located in the Central Plains, and the citizens are all Han Chinese, the two countries have always wanted to unify.But helplessly, the strengths of the two countries are equal, and there is a natural moat between them, so before they are completely sure, they have to maintain the superficial peace while secretly competing with each other.It is not a day or two that the people of Nanzhao and Beili are at odds with each other, let alone the royal family.

The two countries have had the custom of exchanging royal marriages for many years. In fact, it is also to maintain this superficial peace and gain more time to recuperate and grow a strong national power.

Although it is the end of summer now, the temperature is no cooler than that in midsummer.When entering the palace to meet the prince, it was of course impossible for Chu Yue to wear a thin shirt. Although there was a long corridor outside the palace that blocked most of the sunlight, it was already scorching hot.

Ever since she was pregnant, Tang Zhong had forbidden Chu Yue to maintain the same posture for a long time, but now that they were under the roof of a foreign country, even if they were princes, Chu Yue had to stand on the porch in an orderly manner.

After standing for about half an hour, Chu Yue's lower abdomen began to feel uncomfortable. He was afraid that Tang Zhong would conflict with the guards because of him, so he didn't dare to tell Tang Zhong, so he could only secretly press his hand on his stomach, Forcibly endured.

After enduring it for another half an hour, Chu Yue realized that the strangeness in her belly became more and more obvious, and she couldn't support herself anymore, so she staggered to the pillar in the corridor and leaned against it.

"Ziyu, what's the matter?" Tang Zhong anxiously walked to his side and rubbed his waist.

Chu Yue shook her head and smiled at him: "It's okay, I'm tired from standing, just let me rest."

While the two were talking, the eunuch on duty in Qingxin Palace came over and said, "Your Highness told you to go in."

Chu Yue thanked the eunuch, and whispered to Tang Zhong: "You wait outside, I will come as soon as I go."

Chu Yue's appearance made Tang Zhong feel at ease, but Tang Zhong really couldn't justify following him in, so he could only tell him: "If you still feel uncomfortable, don't hold on and ask someone to come out and call me. Mr. Xie is also there Inside, if something goes wrong, he will take care of it, so don't be afraid."

Chu Yue nodded towards him, still put his wide sleeves on his waist, and walked towards the west side hall step by step.

There was a scent of sandalwood in the hall, which made Chu Yue feel a little uncomfortable.He walked into the side hall, and saw Xie Guzhi and Xie Zimo sitting opposite each other, Xie Guzhi was holding black pieces in his hand, frowned slightly thinking about the next chess game, and did not notice his arrival.Xie Zimo, on the other hand, saw Chu Yue, smiled at him, and blinked his frivolous eyes.

"Zhaoguo Chuyue, I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King An." Chu Yue folded her hands and lowered her sleeves, and leaned forward slightly as a salute.

After the voice fell behind, the atmosphere became quiet, and no one responded.

After a long while, Xie Changge sunspot fell down, and then he said without raising his head: "Oh, Chu Yue, right. Come here, give me a seat."

Hearing what Xie Changge said, even if Chu Yue was a fool, he should have realized that something was wrong.

Therefore, it is not King An.

If he is really a prince, it is impossible to speak before the prince.

The eunuch brought a chair, but Chu Yue didn't sit down. He suddenly felt a severe pain in his abdomen, and he even had a faint tendency to fall.

"The two of you... which one is the crown prince? Which one is King An?" He gritted his teeth and asked word by word.

The author has something to say:

The conflict of ideas between Chu Yue and Xie Changge can basically be seen in this chapter.Chu Yue felt that if two people love each other, they want to be a couple for the rest of their lives, and if you are weak, Xie Changge can only take one scoop.But Xie Changge thinks it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. I just need to love you in my heart and treat you as the main palace. No matter how many people I have outside, my heart is always with you.The two of them fell in love too quickly, and they hardly had a heart-to-heart relationship, so it is normal to have many disagreements on the way forward.

Of course, after experiencing more, Xie Changge gradually understood Chu Yue's thoughts.However, because Xie Changge was pampered since he was a child, he had no responsibility and had no experience of setbacks, so before they could be completely happy, he would gradually go through some tempering until he finally became a person worthy of Chu Yue.
