After giving birth, Qing Wu seemed to have gone through a life-and-death ordeal and was utterly exhausted. She glanced hurriedly at the child before falling into a deep sleep. When she woke up, it was already the morning of the Second.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she realized her whole body felt weak and sore. She moved slightly, feeling uncomfortable, and gasped in cold air, quickly stopping her movements.
However, even this slight sound startled the person guarding by the bedside.
Huo Yun'ai had been resting against the bed's canopy when he suddenly woke up at the noise. He looked up and asked, "Are you alright?" In an instant, his drowsy eyes were fully awake.
He tucked the blanket around Qing Wu and gently stroked her temple, softly saying, "It's still early; sleep a little longer."
The faint morning light filtered through the window, illuminating the room with a tranquil and peaceful ambiance.
Qing Wu reached out to hold his hand and smiled, saying, "It's not early anymore." Looking into his eyes and noticing the red veins forming in them, she softly asked, "Have you been watching over me all this time?"
Huo Yun'ai did not answer her. Noticing her voice was a bit hoarse, he got up to pour her a glass of water and helped her sit up halfway so she could drink it all.
The sounds inside the room alerted those keeping watch outside.
Azalea did not hear clearly what was happening inside but hurriedly lifted the curtain to come in. Upon seeing the scene before her, she stepped forward to take over Huo Yun'ai's task of assisting Qing Wu with drinking water.
Huo Yun'ai glanced back at her indifferently.
Azalea paused for a moment upon seeing this, straightened herself to bow respectfully, lowered her head, and withdrew from the room.
Before long, the nurse brought in the child. Huo Yun'ai personally took him over and placed him by Qing Wu's bedside before asking everyone else to leave.
Fellow was falling asleep, looking adorable and chubby.
Qing Wu gazed softly at Fellow for a long time, gently kissing his forehead before turning to look at her husband beside her. However, she noticed Huo Yun'ai's expression...
Quite conflicted?
Seeing his expression so rarely vivid, Qing Wu wanted to laugh, but after some thought, she deliberately put on a serious face. Not wanting to wake Fellow, she lowered her voice and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"
"I do. I like it very much," Huo Yun'ai replied with a light chuckle.
Even if he loved his daughter dearly, this was their first child together. The bond of blood between father and son was something that could never be severed. This Fellow was his eldest son and the future emperor. As a father, he had to personally teach him well.
However, despite feeling relieved, there was still a knot in his heart.
After a while, Huo Yun'ai couldn't help but softly utter, "It would be even better if we had another daughter."
Qing Wu shot him an annoyed glance and turned away, ignoring him.
Having just given birth to a son, he was already asking her for a daughter. Was it really that easy?
No matter how much Huo Yun'ai loved his son or daughter, he cared most about his wife.
Seeing that Qing Wu seemed unhappy, he set aside his many conflicting feelings. He immediately leaned over and lay down beside Qing Wu, pressing against her back and pulling both her and Fellow into his embrace.
Qing Wu, having just given birth, felt very weak; even turning over had nearly exhausted her strength. At that moment, she had no energy left to resist.
The familiar embrace surrounded her, bringing her a sense of peace to the utmost. She no longer cared to argue with him, her eyelids slowly closed, and before long, she fell into a deep sleep.
Huo Yun'ai watched as his wife fell into a deep slumber, intending to turn over and get up. Unexpectedly, at that moment, Fellow suddenly yawned widely. His tiny mouth opened slightly in a smile, then he pursed his lips and finally closed them again. He had fallen asleep once more.
As Huo Yun'ai looked at him, his gaze softened to the extreme. He reached out to poke his mouth and then caressed his delicate wife's lips. He chuckled softly, tucked both of his precious treasures under the covers, and then got out of bed. He called for Uncle Yu and instructed him to bring all the memorials and books to this room.
With Fellow around, the entire palace became lively. As he gradually grew up, his laughter echoed throughout the palace.
Since he turned three months old, someone could no longer hold back and had been clingy to Qing Wu since the afternoon, insisting that she hand their son over to the wet nurse and maidservants after dinner. She stayed behind to accompany him.
As for how to accompany him...
When Qing Wu saw Huo Yun'ai's dark and profound gaze, she felt a chill run down her spine. She knew that since the child had grown and her body had recovered, this moment would inevitably come. However, thinking about how hungry he had been for so long made her anxious about how he might act tonight during this first time after recovery. She couldn't help but want to retreat and planned to discuss it with him properly.
"Since the child is still here, why don't I stay with him? I'll come back later tonight?"
"What do you mean by coming back later?" Huo Yun'ai smiled lightly as he caressed her lips. "Are you thinking of sneaking over while I'm half-asleep? Even if I wanted to do something, I wouldn't have the energy for it, would I?"
Qing Wu didn't expect him to guess everything correctly and could only chuckle awkwardly in response.
The Young Emperor's lips curled up as he leaned down to her ear and spoke in a voice only they could hear: "No matter how late you come back today, I will wait for you. At most, I won't attend morning court tomorrow." He then gently rubbed her waist.
Upon hearing this, Qing Wu's face instantly turned crimson with embarrassment.
At that moment, the sudden decision not to attend morning court was too suggestive for words.
How did this happen!
Irritated, Qing Wu pushed him away, but she could only resign herself to removing the hairpin and jewelry at the Dressing Table.
Unexpectedly, just as she pulled out the pin and hadn’t had time to do anything else, her feet suddenly gave way and the scenery in front of her began to spin. By the time she realized what was happening, she was already being lifted off the ground in his arms.
Qing Wu's voice trembled with anxiety, "Don't, please..."
"Don't worry. I'll be gentle."
"No, no, I mean, the time..."
"It’s fine. It was just dark; we still have several hours. There’s plenty of time."
Qing Wu wanted to struggle a bit more, but there was no opportunity left as they had already reached the bedside.
A passionate kiss suddenly came upon her, his large hand tore open her clothing and slipped inside, his heated body pressing down on her...
After that, she could only moan under his onslaught, helplessly enduring without a single thought left.
The prince was restless by nature.
As soon as he learned to crawl, he wanted to walk. As soon as he wanted to walk, he planned to run. The palace maids and matrons tried to protect him but found themselves sent back and forth by him until he disappeared in the blink of an eye. Everyone was startled and hurried to search for him. They only realized he was hiding nearby when they heard his giggles from behind the mountain.
Even though he was so mischievous, as soon as he saw Huo Yun'ai, he immediately behaved himself. His legs tensed and his back straightened, pretending to look very obedient.
Huo Yun'ai was very strict when it came to the child, demanding high standards. However, in private, he often sighed helplessly to Qing Wu, saying, "Neither of us has a carefree nature; who does this child take after?"
Later, he seemed to have realized something and said to Qing Wu, "He does resemble his third uncle a bit."
The prince's third uncle is Liu Anfeng, Qing Wu's Brother San.
Hearing Huo Yun'ai say this, Qing Wu couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. "No matter how Brother San is, it has nothing to do with the child, right?"
Although Liu Anfeng was her Brother San, he belonged to the Liu Family. Qing Wu's biological parents were from the Wen Family and had no blood relation to the Liu Residence.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yun'ai shook his head and sighed. "Perhaps after being influenced for so long at the Liu Residence, there might be some connection?"
Qing Wu strongly disagreed with his rather absurd conclusion and chose to ignore him.
Not long after, Huo Yun'ai came back to her side and wrapped his arms around her, saying, "Listen, the son resembles his mother and uncle, while the daughter resembles Father. I wonder if it's true."
After hearing this, Qing Wu paused for a moment, glanced at him sideways, and huffed, "What about it?"
"He's already over two years old. How about we have another daughter?" He planted a warm kiss on her neck and mumbled.
To their surprise, not long after that, it was confirmed that she was pregnant again.
Huo Yun'ai was extremely happy.
The fellow was also very happy, circling around Qing Wu and saying, "I'm going to have a little sister!"
Listening to this similar tone, Qing Wu was speechless and pulled his hand, asking, "Who is the younger sister's?"
"Father! Ah, no, Imperial Father." The prince's voice grew lower and lower.
Qing Wu felt frustrated.
Sure enough! It really was his!
This pregnancy was much more difficult than the last one. Her belly had grown significantly, and her waist and abdomen were under more strain.
Huo Yun'ai felt very distressed and had to help her massage her waist every night, hoping she would feel a little better.
Qing Wu often complained that this child was too big and also more troublesome than the previous one.
Huo Yun'ai just smiled and remained silent, fearing that she would become anxious, assuring her that it was normal and there was no need to worry.
Qing Wu then felt somewhat relieved.
Little did she know that just over seven months into the pregnancy, Qing Wu suddenly experienced labor pains and was about to give birth.
Huo Yun'ai had been prepared and quickly instructed others to get everything ready. In less than half an hour, everything was set.
Huo Yun'ai did not dare to leave for a moment; all matters were put aside as she waited outside the delivery room.
After a long while, a cry of a newborn echoed.
He suddenly stood up and heard the joyous exclamation: "It's a prince!"
Unlike the last time when Qing Wu gave birth, this time Huo Yun'ai held the child and still dared not take her eyes off the room for a moment.
Before long, another cry echoed.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, it's a princess!"
Huo Yun'ai quickly asked, "How is Qing Wu?"
"Your Highness is well!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yun'ai let out a sigh of relief. He looked towards the adorable girl just brought out at the door and slowly smiled.
