Princess Xiangsi - Chapter 190
Seeing Wuxia's blissful expression, Qingyun's eyes flickered, rippling with delight.
Perhaps noticing Qingyun's expression, Wuxia said softly, "Sister Qingyun, you'll feel this way too in the future. And the children that Sister Qingyun and Prince Ande have, whether boys or girls, will definitely be exceptionally handsome. Heh, Sister Qingyun, you'd better watch out for matchmakers wearing down your doorstep in the future."
For a fleeting moment, Qingyun's eyes dimmed. Her unborn child would possess the same demonic nature as her; would that be a blessing or a curse for the child?
"Sister Qingyun, what's wrong?"
Qingyun snapped out of her daze, her eyes returning to normal, a hint of a smile appearing on them. She pretended to tap Wuxia on the head, "You little brat, Wuxia, how dare you make fun of me?"
"Hehe..." Yu Wuxia laughed, her expression cheerful. But soon after, she yawned, and weariness crept back onto her brow.
"Sister Qingyun, I'm sleepy again. Haha... Pregnant women are especially sleepy. Sister Qingyun, please make yourself at home! I want to go and rest." Wuxia nodded to Qingyun to express her apology, and then she called out, "Xiaomei, help me back to my room."
Qingyun smiled helplessly, turned around and left.
On her way back to Xue Palace, Qingyun unexpectedly encountered Shuangdie, whom she hadn't seen for half a year.
The moment the two met, sparks of hatred flashed in Shuangdie's eyes. Qingyun merely glanced at her indifferently before continuing on her way.
Shuangdie had only received Situ Xingyun's permission a few days ago to have her confinement lifted. She should be happily wandering around the palace now!
Qingyun smiled, not caring much.
When Qingyun returned to the Snow Palace, the first person she saw was Li Ge. She immediately smiled and went to greet him, "Li Ge, what brings you here today? A few days ago, I went to the Prince of Ande's residence to look for you but couldn't find a trace of you."
"Woman, you really know how to hold a grudge."
Qingyun snorted and walked past Lige back to her room.
Upon seeing this, the palace maids in the Snow Palace secretly chuckled.
Li Ge shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to follow Qing Yun into the room.
"Woman, why are you so emotionally volatile today? Even the pregnant Consort Yu's emotions might not change as quickly as yours."
Upon hearing the word "pregnant," Qingyun's eyes dimmed, and she lowered her head.
"Sigh, alright, woman, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said you held a grudge." Li Ge put his arm around her waist and said softly.
Qingyun kept her head down.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Ge lifted her chin, and when he saw her eyes, his heart skipped a beat. "Woman, don't overthink things."
Upon hearing Li Ge's words, Qing Yun looked at the bronze mirror not far away, and just as she had expected, her eyes once again overflowed with silver light.
Li Ge habitually stretched out his finger, and Qing Yun habitually began to suck on it.
Anyone unaware of the situation would find the scene quite provocative; at least, that's what Qingyi and Qianghui, who happened to pass by, thought. Startled, they quickly closed the door and ran away, their faces flushed and hearts pounding.
The sound of the door closing brought Qingyun back to her senses. She quickly let go, her face turning red.
"Woman, you've done this kind of thing many times before. It's a bit slow of you to be shy now!" Li Ge said with a relaxed smile as he saw her eyes gradually turn back to pure black.
“Li Ge…” Qingyun took his ten fingers in her hands. Seeing the wounds on each finger, her heart ached terribly. “Will you die from blood loss someday?”
"Foolish woman, what joke are you talking about? This little bit of blood isn't enough to kill you!"
“But…” Qingyun looked up and noticed that Li Ge’s face had been particularly pale lately. She touched his bloodless face with her hand. “Look, your face is getting paler and paler.”
"My face has always been this pale, woman, don't overthink it." Li Ge grasped the slender hand that held his fingers tightly. "Tell me, where did you go today?"
“I haven’t visited Wuxia in a long time, so I’m going to catch up with her today.” With that, Qingyun raised an eyebrow. “Are you afraid I’ll go see a man?”
"I have complete confidence in a woman's self-awareness."
Qingyun's lips twitched, and her hand stroking his face paused involuntarily. She rolled her eyes at him. "Hmm. I am very self-aware. However, I am even more confident in the self-awareness of a certain man. Because I know that man only has the patient and a wonderful woman who is one of a kind in the world in his heart."
Seeing that her attention had been completely diverted, Li Ge's lips curled into a slight smile. "You have me completely under your thumb. Under the tutelage of some exceptionally good woman in the world, how could I dare to philander?"
Qingyun's lips curled up, her eyes brimming with laughter.
"certainly!"
"Shouldn't that woman also tell me why she's so emotional today?"
Qingyun's smile froze, her hands growing cold. She lowered her hand from Lige's face, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "Wuxia looks so happy while pregnant. Then I wondered if I would be this happy if I were pregnant in the future? But then I think about the..."
Before she could utter the word "demonic," warm fingers gently pressed against her red lips.
“You…” Qingyun looked up and saw only white clothes and felt a warm chest.
"Woman, things will work themselves out. Don't worry about the future, I'll take care of everything and solve all the problems."
“…Mmm.” Qingyun gently hugged Lige back.
The air inside the room was filled with happiness and sweetness, so much so that even the palace maids outside couldn't help but shiver.
Yuxuan.
Yu Wuxia slept peacefully on the couch. Xi'er also lay comfortably on the small couch beside her.
Strangely enough, when Situ Xingyun forcibly took Xi'er from Shuangdie's arms, Xi'er cried her heart out. But as soon as she was in Yu Wuxia's arms, she stopped crying, her round eyes fixed on Yu Wuxia, and then she giggled. From then on, Xi'er became very attached to Wuxia. If Wuxia wasn't nearby when she slept, Xi'er would burst into tears.
At that moment, the door was gently opened.
Xiaomei tiptoed in, carrying a bowl of medicine to prevent miscarriage and a piece of candy to relieve bitterness. After placing it on the table, she saw the harmonious scene in the room and couldn't help but smile slightly. Then she tiptoed out again.
Soon after, a magnificent figure slipped past numerous guards and palace maids and finally managed to enter.
