Chapter 450 - 12.58
Yunyu was currently sitting on the chair, reading some books alone. He was already three months pregnant right now, and it started to really show. All the symptoms and even nausea felt like a daily routine now.
The perk of a Ger man was that he still retained his strength a lot more than a pregnant woman. Although, in exchange, the childbirth of a Ger man would be a lot more painful and life-threatening. That was why most Ger men could only give birth to one or two children in their entire life.
Yunyu sighed and put down his book. As a Ger man raised like a normal man by his parents before, he still couldn\'t adapt to becoming a pregnant man.
Yet, when he sent the letter to his father, his old father was proud of him and wanted to visit to check on his wellbeing. That was why Yunyu asked Huang Shu to arrange, so his father could visit him personally.
Still, him getting pregnant was outrageous for his taste. He was worried that things might go wrong.
Larva seemed to be able to catch this and tried to encourage its master.
[Larva: Master Bai, you will be alright! Do you know that you\'ve gotten pregnant so many times as a man in other worlds! There is nothing weird with it.]
[Larva: Besides, isn\'t this your fantasy? That\'s why you asked Master Han to create these worlds where you can get pregnant because you want to have a child with him!]
Yunyu smiled thin at Larva. Even though this floating orange thing had stayed with him since the day after his wedding ceremony, he still didn\'t understand what it was talking about.
[So, you mean, I have a lot of children with this Master Han?]
[Larva: Yes! You even have a son in the system realm! He is big, handsome, and powerful like Master Han, but could also be lazy and petty like Master Bai!. And he is in charge of everything when Master Bai and Master Han are busy playing around in each world! Larva is a big fan of him, Kyaaaahh!]
[… Why am I the one who gives him the bad traits…]
…
Yunyu chuckled. He somehow imagined a man called Master Han, which Larva said actually resembled Huang Shu a lot, but a hundred times more handsome.
It was probably an exaggeration because Yunyu felt that Huang Shu was already the most handsome man he ever saw in his life.
Then he imagined his child, whether it was a daughter or son, to be a great person in the future. Maybe if they wanted to pursue a hobby and such, Yunyu would let them do that.
There was a sudden knock on the door. Meilan and an old maid came to his room with snacks and warm tea for the evening, "Master Bai, we brought a moon cake and tea!"
Bai Yunyu put down his book and saw Meilan and the old maid served the snack and tea for him. He chuckled and said, "This is only early summer, and you already made a moon cake?"
"Eheh, that\'s because your favorite is a moon cake, right?" Meilan grinned happily. She then got up and excused herself because she had another task to do.
Meanwhile, the old maid served the tea carefully and excused herself.
"Wait," Yunyu\'s command halted the old maid\'s step.
"Yes, Master Bai…"
"What happened with your face?" Yunyu asked after noticing the old maid had bruises on her face.
"This old servant fell from the stair, Master Bai…" the old woman replied.
Bai Yunyu sighed and then said, "You should ask Meilan to treat you. You\'re old already. You might get a broken bone because of it. If you need to call the Imperial Physician, just tell him that I sent you. So you will be treated."
…
The old maid lowered her head, a drop of tear from her eyes fell on the floor, but was unnoticed by Yunyu, who started munching on the moon cake.
She had a choice to tell Master Bai about this, but she knew that Master Bai was far too powerless against Empress Dowager.
And she didn\'t know what\'d happen if she told Master Bai about Empress Dowager\'s plan. Maybe that crazy old lady would kill her daughter immediately.
…
"T—Thanking Master Bai\'s generous heart. This old servant will leave now…"
The old maid left and closed the door, leaving Bai Yunyu alone. He kept munching on the moon cake but hadn\'t touched the tea yet, wanting it to be cooled a bit more.
"Wife, are you here?" The door was opened. Huang Shu came with a beaming smile on his face. Even after a tiring day in the court, he would always return to Yunyu with a smile and excitement.
Because nothing was better than staying with his wife, truly.
"You\'re still in your dragon robe, Your Majesty. Emperor Xianliang," Yunyu chuckled.
"That doesn\'t matter. I can\'t wait to see you after the court. I miss you a lot," Huang Shu sat beside Yunyu and snuggled with him intimately.
"Missing me? It\'s not even five yours yet since the last time you met me after lunch. You\'re so clingy," Yunyu laughed, but the Emperor didn\'t seem to mind.
He just kissed his wife\'s lips and then patted Yunyu\'s belly. "How are you doing?"
"I\'m fine," Yunyu replied. He took a moon cake and fed Huang Shu with it.
Huang Shu opened his mouth, and they ate the moon cake together.
"Wife, what do you want as a gift?"
"A gift?"
"Yeah, some old ministers told me that pregnant women often have a ridiculous request. But you\'re a ger man, so I\'m not sure," Huang Shu said.
Yunyu seemed to think for a moment, and then he chuckled, "I\'d want you to spend less time here and more time working in the court."
"Huh? Why? You don\'t like me here?" Huang Shu asked, pouting like a little boy.
"Because you spent too much time with me, the ministers will complain," Yunyu smiled and patted his belly. "Husband, please pour me some tea, will you?"
Huang Shu obediently took the teapot and then poured some tea into a cup. Yunyu wanted to grab it, but Huang Shu said, "No, no, I will help you."
Yunyu smiled and allowed Huang Shu to slowly opened the lid a little, and tilted the cup, so Yunyu could sip it before drinking the warm tea slowly.
Yunyu kept drinking until half of the teacup was empty. "I\'m good, husband. I don\'t need to drink more."
Huang Shu and Bai Yunyu rested on the evening. With Yunyu leaning on Huang Shu\'s strong chest, they were watching the sunset from the window.
"Huang Shu, I hope things will stay like this forever. Where you are always with me, by my side."
"No, things can\'t stay like this forever. Because even when time passes, and we grew old, I will still be with you, Yunyu."
Huang Shu kissed Yunyu\'s scalp. It took an hour of them in this position until Yunyu felt something wrong.
Something really, really wrong in his stomach.
He frowned when he sensed it…
"H—Huang Shu, something feels strange."
