Chapter 221 I’m here

As soon as Xia Chunyu returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he was called away by Youshi.

After talking for a long time, Xia Chunyu came out with a gloomy face. He walked to the gate of the courtyard and stood there in a daze for a long time. A drizzle started to fall from the sky, and the cold rain fell on his face, but he was completely unaware.

Until now, he still couldn't believe what his mother said, that it was difficult to conceive with a cold constitution, and even if he did, it would be difficult to keep the baby... What did that mean? It literally means that it is not easy, but that doesn't mean there is no hope, right? A slim hope is still hope!

Ever since he made up his mind, he wanted to marry her. After marrying her, he wanted to have children with her. He didn't dare let her suffer too much. A son and a daughter would be enough. They would be their children, the continuation of their lives and the sublimation of their feelings. He would pamper them, love them, and teach them carefully. Then, he would let her know that even if he had children, she would still be the treasure in his heart.

He thought of many happy family scenes. She loved small animals so much, and she liked Niu Niu and Chun Guo so much. She must love children very much. If she could not be a mother in this life, she would definitely be very sad.

His Yaoyao is so good, why is God so unfair to her?

He couldn't help but wonder, was it because his intention was not sincere enough when he released the lotus lanterns that day, and he was just having fun, and then the river god caught him in his insincerity and punished him?

Xia Chunyu sighed to the sky, rubbed his stiff face, and forced a smile. He couldn't let Yaoyao know about this, and he shouldn't be so pessimistic. Maybe, he would get better slowly.

In fact, he should have thought of it earlier. It was his negligence.

Ye Jiayao lay there listlessly, her mind seemed to be very active, she was thinking about this and that, but her thoughts were a mess. She heard Qiao Xi say, "My Lord, you're back!"

"Is the Second Young Madam feeling better today?" Chunyu's voice was low but as gentle as water.

Every day when he came back, the first thing he asked was her, where she was, and if she was okay...

She turned around and looked at the clock on the table in the corner. It seemed that she came back particularly late today.

Xia Chunyu did not go into the bedroom immediately, but went to change her clothes first. Her body was wet, so she would not be frozen by the cold.

After changing his clothes, Xia Chunyu walked into the bedroom with a hot water bottle in his hand, and said with a smile, "Let me warm my hands first, and then I'll give you a massage."

Ye Jiayao looked at the gentle look in his eyes, and felt as if a spring stream flowed through her heart, warm and gentle, "I'm back late today."

Xia Chunyu showed his signature mysterious smile: "Your husband got a promotion today."

Ye Jiayao was slightly surprised: "What position did you get promoted to?"

Xia Chunyu stretched out his hand and made the number two.

Ye Jiayao was delighted: "Second-class guard?"

"Well, maybe it will go up again in the near future." Xia Chunyu said confidently.

Today was supposed to be a happy day, and he wanted her to share his joy, but he never expected to hear such news when he came back.

"Your Majesty, is this fun? One moment he's promoted, the next moment he's demoted, promoted and demoted, demoted and promoted again." Ye Jiayao complained. If it weren't for marrying her, Chunyu would have been the youngest first-class guard in the history of Huai Song.

Xia Chunyu sneered: "You don't understand this. Sometimes demotion is actually for the sake of protection."

Ye Jiayao certainly understood that the emperor had demoted Chunyu to a third-class guard as a punishment. Who dared to disobey the emperor's orders? But it was mostly done for the queen mother to see, to appease her anger.

Anyway, she doesn't care about his identity. Whether he is a first-class guard, a prince, or a commoner, she likes him.

"Have you told your parents?"

"I'll go over and pay my respects later." Xia Chunyu didn't dare to say that he had already met his mother.

His hands were already warm, and he moved closer, reaching into the quilt and placing his hands on her belly, hoping that doing so would evaporate and dispel the coldness in her body.

His palms were thick and warm, rubbing gently, and the unbearable discomfort gradually faded away. Ye Jiayao leaned in his arms, hesitated for a long time, and said softly: "The eldest princess came today, and seeing that I was not feeling well, she insisted on calling the imperial physician Li to treat me."

"Well...what did Imperial Physician Li say?" Xia Chunyu paused, then continued rubbing and asked.

"I don't know either. They went to mother's room to talk and didn't let me hear..." Ye Jiayao's low voice was filled with deep worry.

"Chun Yu, what if I am not in good health and cannot give birth to a son for you?" She did not want to ask such a question, but she could not help asking. In modern times, there are many infertile people, but modern technology is advanced and IVF can be done, but it was not possible in ancient times. If the medicine cannot be adjusted, then you can only accept your fate. What does this mean? Ye Jiayao knows very well that the three unfilial acts are not having descendants, and the worst one is to have children. Continuing the family line is the most fundamental task of a woman, not to mention the wealthy and noble families like the Hou Mansion. Will they want a woman who cannot give birth to children? Even if Chun Yu likes her and will not divorce her, I am afraid that he will take a concubine due to the pressure from his elders!

She couldn't help but think pessimistically like this. She had gotten stuck in a dead end and it would be difficult to get out of it.

"Silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about? They don't let you listen because they're afraid that you'll worry. There will be no problem. If there was a problem, why didn't your mother tell me? How can I still be here now?" Xia Chunyu comforted her with a relaxed look.

Ye Jiayao fiddled with the tassel jade pendant hanging on his belt from time to time. Her heart seemed to be floating in the void, with no sky above and no bottom below. She had never been so frightened before. It was no use comforting herself. She had no sense of security at all.

"I'm just asking, if it's true, I want to know what you would do?" She stubbornly wanted to get an answer, or rather, she wanted to get comfort from Chunyu, and she was very eager to calm herself down.

Xia Chunyu felt a sharp pain in his heart. He hugged her tightly and said in a gentle voice, "I like you as a person, with all your strengths and weaknesses. If it's really like what you said, then it doesn't matter. I'll marry you for a lifetime. At worst, I won't be the crown prince anymore and let my elder brother inherit. Well! I think it's good for the two of us to live together for the rest of our lives."

Ye Jiayao's nose felt sore and she wanted to cry. If it was really that unfortunate, even if he would change his mind in the future, at this moment, she would be content that he could say such words.

"Okay, when people are not feeling well, they like to think about random things. The more they think, the more twisted they become. This is not good for the body. So, don't worry. No matter what happens, I'm here for you!" Xia Chunyu smiled, but his heart ached. He hoped that God would not be so cruel. Since he had given them happiness, why should he leave such a small regret. Whatever happened, let him bear it. Don't let Yaoyao be so sad.

Ye Jiayao nodded obediently, feeling touched. Only then did she deeply realize that the most beautiful love words in the world are not "I love you" but "I am here!"

I am here for you when the sky collapses and the earth collapses, and I am here for you when there is wind, frost and rain. She believes that he will use his strong arms to hold up the sky for her, and she will be the most beautiful cloud in the sky, blooming only for him.

Liuli couldn't help laughing in the room at this moment. She couldn't stop laughing. It was so interesting. The man named Ye had always suppressed her and surpassed her, but she didn't expect that he would fall into this trap.

Under her instruction, Imperial Physician Li exaggerated the condition of the surname Ye, but it was true that the surname Ye was not easy to get pregnant. Xia Chunyu must be very sad at this moment! He did not expect that he would marry a hen that was not very good at laying eggs. If the surname Ye knew about this, would she cry to death? It was really happy just thinking about it.

"Princess, shouldn't you be more low-key?" Xiaoya reminded carefully.

As he was talking, Xia Chunfeng walked in: "What are you talking about? You look so happy."

Liuli motioned Xiaoya to go out and held out her hand for Chunfeng to hold. Chunfeng walked over, held her hand and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her softly: "You look much better today."

Liuli smiled gently: "Well, the antiemetic medicine prescribed by Imperial Doctor Li is very effective, and with mother's meticulous care, I am much better now."

When she smiled, her eyebrows were curved, her dimples were deep, and she looked so cute and lovely that Chunfeng couldn't help but lose his mind.

Such a savage and evil woman who was feared by everyone could actually turn into a gentle and docile wife. If outsiders knew this, they would definitely be shocked.

It turns out that what my mother said was right. Once a woman gets married, her heart is with the man. As long as you treat her well, she will change.

Chunfeng was somewhat glad that he did this. Seeing her change little by little, his heart was filled with joy.

"Mother has always loved you. Now, I have less and less status, and I don't know how long I will have to sleep in the study." Xia Chunfeng felt depressed when he thought of this.

It is really painful and hard to make a young boy who is just beginning to fall in love to abstain from desire for such a long time.

Liuli blushed and whispered a few words in his ear shyly.

Xia Chunfeng's eyes lit up: "Really? Just three months will do?"

Liuli nodded shyly: "That's what Imperial Physician Li said."

Xia Chunfeng quickly calculated: "You are less than two months pregnant now, which means you only need to hold on for another month or so?"

Liuli punched him with her pink fist, which was as weak as a tickle, and said coquettishly, "Can you stop thinking about this?"

Xia Chunfeng laughed: "I only care about you because I like you. If I don't care about you anymore, that would be really troublesome..."

The two of them were sweet for a while, Chunfeng hugged her and said, "I heard that my second sister-in-law is not feeling well. These days, you should ask the imperial chef to make whatever you want to eat! Wait until my second sister-in-law is better."

Liuli was a little unhappy. Why did he always speak for the surname Ye? But she said aggrievedly, "I don't want to trouble my second sister-in-law. It's just that after I got pregnant, I always want to eat those things for no reason. But others can't make them. I'm so ashamed! Chunfeng, what do you say we should do?"

Chunfeng was amused by her delicate appearance: "It seems that you are pregnant with a little greedy cat!"
