Chapter 294: Beautiful Killer VS Undefeated War God Prince 37
As soon as Xuanyuan Cheng finished speaking, the banquet hall suddenly became lively, with laughter and joy rising one after another.
Under the bright lights, the concubines were like flowers blooming in spring.
Each of them swayed gracefully in their seats, raised their glasses to toast Xuanyuan Cheng from afar, their eyes full of tenderness and expectation.
Li Youyan was wearing a pink silk dress, with a graceful figure and a beautiful face. She opened her red lips and said, "Your Majesty, I dare to offer you a toast. I wish your majesty will walk like a dragon and a tiger, make great achievements for thousands of years, and have a great reputation forever."
Her eyes were fixed on Xuanyuan Cheng, hoping that the prince would remember her and summon her to sleep with him tonight.
She did not dare to ask for too much favor, but only hoped that the prince would give her a child so that she would have someone to rely on in the future and would not end up living alone in the palace.
Xuanyuan Cheng sat in the main seat and looked at Li Youyan with an indifferent expression. Thinking that it was a family dinner tonight, he shouldn't be too cold, so he drank the wine that Li Youyan offered him.
Li Youyan was delighted to see the prince drink the wine he offered her, but he tactfully said no more and sat down gracefully.
Seeing this, the other concubines followed suit and raised their glasses to toast.
A hint of impatience flashed in Xuanyuan Cheng's eyes, and he suddenly felt that there were too many women in the mansion.
In the past, I thought that raising it was just a matter of spending some money.
But now, I find these women annoying and bothersome.
I thought I could send her to the farm at any time, and she could get married or go back to her parents' home as she pleased.
In short, don't stay in the palace.
These concubines were completely unaware of Xuanyuan Cheng's thoughts.
They still looked at him expectantly, hoping that the prince would drink the wine they offered him, then remember them and summon them to sleep with him.
Xuanyuan Cheng suppressed his impatience and drank all the wine offered by his concubines, but his face gradually became gloomy.
Yu Yao saw all of this and suddenly felt that these women were not very smart.
Xuanyuan Cheng, who was the first to toast, might remember it, but there were so many women who toasted one after another.
This would be annoying for anyone.
If Xuanyuan Cheng couldn't hold his alcohol tolerance, he would probably get drunk.
Yu Yao shook her head, her eyes fell on the delicious food in front of her. She ate happily and couldn't stop at all.
It is easy to get hungry in the late stages of pregnancy, and she got hungrier even faster with three children in her belly.
Basically, you have to eat after a while.
An aide saw that the atmosphere was not right and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, although this great victory is gratifying, the follow-up affairs are complicated and require long-term planning."
Xuanyuan Cheng looked at the aide and nodded slightly, "I understand, we will discuss it in detail tomorrow."
When the concubines saw Xuanyuan Cheng discussing serious matters with his staff, they were all silent and dared not utter a word.
Li Youyan bit her lip unwillingly, thinking that the prince had been fighting for months and Concubine Yu was pregnant. The prince was a normal man, and any man would have that need.
If I behave well, maybe I can climb into the prince's bed tonight.
Her face flushed slightly, and she stood up again, looking at Xuanyuan Cheng with seductive eyes, and said delicately, "Your Highness, I have learned a new piece of music recently, and I am willing to play it for you."
Xuanyuan Cheng raised his eyes to look at Li Youyan and said coldly: "Let's talk about it another day."
Li Youyan hit a snag, his face turned pale instantly, tears welling up in his eyes.
When the other concubines saw this, they were secretly glad that they did not act rashly.
Xuanyuan Cheng's gaze turned and fell on Yu Yao who was sitting there quietly, seeing that she was eating happily.
The corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a bit of pampering and helplessness in his eyes, and his thin lips slightly opened: "Yu Shufei, you look so greedy, it seems that I have treated you unfairly."
Yu Yao raised her head, her cheeks puffed up like a little squirrel, and replied incoherently: "Your Majesty, please don't tease me. The three little guys in my belly are making a lot of noise, and I'm very hungry."
Xuanyuan Cheng laughed loudly, "Then you should eat more and make my son plump and white."
Yu Yao rolled her eyes at him, swallowed the food in her mouth, and muttered, "How did the prince know that it was a young master? What if it was a young princess?"
Xuanyuan Cheng's face froze. He didn't have any idea of favoring boys over girls, but since the Qin Palace didn't have an heir yet, he would definitely prefer her to give birth to a son.
His complexion quickly returned to normal, and he looked at Yu Yao and said seriously, "Whether it's a young master or a young princess, I will treat them as treasures. As long as it's a child you gave birth to for me, I will be happy."
Yu Yao thought to herself: I would never believe you. You hesitated for so long just now, it was obvious that you wanted a son.
But her face showed a relieved expression: "In this case, I am relieved."
No one knew better than her that she was pregnant with a son, and all three of them were sons.
Li Youyan looked at the intimate interaction between Xuanyuan Cheng and Yu Yao, and her jealousy grew even stronger.
In her heart, she secretly cursed Yu Yao to give birth to a daughter, and it would be best if all three in her belly were daughters. She didn't dare to harm others blatantly, but she was not afraid of cursing in her heart.
The other concubines had basically the same idea, and some even secretly cursed Yu Yao to have four lives, and even better, she wouldn't be able to give birth to any children.
Yu Yao didn’t know what they were thinking. If she knew that these people were cursing her behind her back.
I'm afraid he won't be so polite.
The family dinner continued in such a complicated atmosphere, but it soon ended.
Yu Yao returned to Mingxi Courtyard holding her belly, while Xiangling and Xiangju followed behind, protecting her carefully.
In the courtyard, bamboo shadows danced, flowers smelled fragrant, and even the air seemed particularly gentle because of the night.
A look of fatigue appeared on Yu Yao's brows, and she let Xiangling and Xiangju help her wash and dress.
She had just taken a shower and changed into clean pajamas when she saw Xuanyuan Cheng pushing the door in, looking slightly tipsy and smelling strongly of alcohol.
When Yu Yao smelled the alcohol coming towards her, she knew that the man had drunk a lot of alcohol, and her brows furrowed.
"Xiangling, go to the kitchen and warm up a bowl of hangover soup."
She gave instructions to Xiangling who was preparing to salute.
"No need, the king is fine."
Xuanyuan Cheng waved his hand, signaling them to leave.
Xiangling and Xiangju retreated tactfully.
Seeing that his steps were still steady, Yu Yao didn't say anything else.
Xuanyuan Cheng lifted his robe, sat on the couch, reached out and pulled her into his arms, facing her.
Looking at the bulging belly in front of me, I once again sighed that it was really big.
He couldn't even hug her properly because he was blocked by a big belly.
Yu Yao also felt very embarrassed, so she simply turned sideways to avoid facing him with her big belly.
She wanted to sit on his lap, but was afraid that this man would dislike her weight.
Although she was not swollen like other pregnant women and did not gain weight, her weight was indeed quite high.
After all, with such a big belly and triplets, it is impossible that there is no weight.
She thought about it and simply sat next to him, and the two of them talked to each other.
Xuanyuan Cheng saw her actions and laughed softly.
His big hand fell on her abdomen and he asked in a low voice: "Is the baby okay? Is he bothering you?"
Yu Yao shook her head. "The child is relatively safe. He just kicks a few times when he's naughty. I can handle it."
Xuanyuan Cheng nodded slightly. Although he didn't know much about pregnancy, he knew that multiple births are prone to premature birth.
He thought for a moment and said, "You've been pregnant for more than seven months, so you should prepare the midwife's delivery room and other things. These should have been prepared long ago, but I was always on the battlefield and didn't have time to take care of them."
Yu Yao couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. "Your Highness, you don't know that I have already arranged the delivery room, and I have also hired several experienced midwives from the public. I have also made a lot of small clothes for the three children. I was afraid that Your Highness would be fighting outside and would not be able to come back in time, so I made preparations in advance."
Xuanyuan Cheng heard this, his eyes flashed with admiration and pity, and he gently patted her hand, "It's my fault, why do I have to worry about these things?"
"Why do you say these things, my lord? I will just tell my subordinates to do it. Why do you worry about it?"
The two talked for a while, then washed up and went to bed.
Yu Yao couldn’t do much with such a big belly, so she just covered herself with the quilt and chatted.
Of course, we hugged and chatted.
To avoid the embarrassment of not being able to get close to him because of her belly, she turned sideways with her back to Xuanyuan Cheng, nestled in his arms, and slept soundly.
Xuanyuan Cheng felt the warmth in his arms, and couldn't help feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.
"Yao'er, no matter what your previous identity was or what your purpose was in coming to Jing Country, I will not care. As long as you stay by my side in the future, I will not care."
Yu Yao heard Xuanyuan Cheng's words in a daze in her sleep. Her body trembled slightly, but she did not wake up.
Xuanyuan Cheng hugged her tightly and continued to speak in a low voice, as if talking to himself.
"I know that things in this world are complicated and you may have your own difficulties. The most important thing is that I can't live without you. Without you, no matter how much wealth and glory I have, it will not be any fun for me."
"Only when you are by my side, I feel that life is full of flavor."
As the night grew deeper, Xuanyuan Cheng slowly closed his eyes, buried his head in her hair, hugged the woman tightly in his arms but avoided pressing her belly, and gradually fell asleep.
