Back at the Sakura Temple,
Xia Lu looked at the expression on her face,
I'm not happy with the words Jia Zhen,
She asked, "What's wrong with you? Today is Master's birthday. Why are you pulling a long face? "
"No, nothing." Jia Zhen avoided Xia Lu's question. He also felt a little ashamed in his heart. He was angry because his wife was pregnant,
It was very embarrassing to say it out loud. This woman knew,
She still didn't know how to laugh at him.
"Your expression doesn't look like it's nothing. Why are you angry? Today is Master's birthday, and Madam is pregnant.
Did someone offend you? "Xia Lu said,
Then he realized that something was wrong. Madam was pregnant,
Xia Lu looked at Jia Zhen and asked, "Could it be that because Madam is pregnant, you feel that half of Madam's love has been given to the child in her belly,
"That's why you feel awkward, right?"
Xia Lu was blessed with good fortune and suddenly said.
"I, I'm not." Jia Zhen flew into a rage out of humiliation,
His face immediately turned red.
Xia Lu saw that Jia Zhen was so awkward,
She understood,
She had guessed correctly. Thinking about it, after the second child was released in modern times, there were also tragedies. She remembered a report that said that after the second child was born, the parents' thoughts were all on the younger son, so the eldest son killed the second child. Jia Zhen was a little emperor who had been in power for twenty years. Suddenly, one day, he found that another child who shared his parents' love had appeared. His heart was filled with a sense of crisis.
Xia Lu sat beside Jia Zhen, let his head lean on her lap, and patted his head, "Actually, you don't have to be so resistant. Just treat it as if Master and Madam gave birth to a daughter or a son for you. You're already twenty years old, you can be a father. No one asked you to be friends with him."
"But... But do you know? If Madam gave birth to a son, my position as the heir might be given to him, just like the old lady of Xi Province. After so many years of planning, she wanted Second Grandfather to leave the title of Duke to Uncle Zheng. Also, when we split the family property, I still wanted to give it to him. Madam's private treasury used to be mine, but now it will be his too. "Jia Zhen buried his head in Xia Lu's stomach, his entire body trembling slightly. Most importantly, in the future, Madam and Master would definitely dote on that little one even more.
Xia Lu patted Jia Zhen's head and felt a warm and moist feeling coming from her stomach. Xia Lu could feel that Jia Zhen was actually crying. She suddenly understood why Xichun was raised in Rongguo Province.
"Okay, okay, don't feel wronged. Don't you still have me? I'll dote on you. Zheng'er's wife, be good." Xia Lu stroked Jia Zhen's hair as if she was petting a dog. Alright, this person was a big dog and especially needed to be doted on.
"I'm the Husband." Jia Zhen buried his entire face in Xia Lu's stomach, so his voice was muffled.
"Okay, you're the Husband. You're mighty and majestic, okay?" Xia Lu rolled her eyes. She was speechless. How could this little wife be a Husband when she looked so wronged? She was clearly the bottom. Ah, she was full of energy today because of a certain little weakling who had been wronged.
"Okay." Jia Zhen reached out and hugged Xia Lu's waist. He needed comfort right now, so he allowed himself to indulge for a little while.
As he indulged, he didn't know when he fell asleep. Fortunately, he fell asleep sitting on the edge of the bed. Although she had a lot of strength, it was still very difficult for her to carry a sleeping man. Xia Lu placed Jia Zhen's head on the bed, then took off his shoes and placed his legs on the bed. Jia Zhen automatically rolled on the bed to his usual sleeping position.
Xia Lu went out and asked Xiao Cui to bring a basin of hot water. She wiped Jia Zhen's face and ignored Jia Zhen. Then she began to exercise in the room. After sweating a lot, she asked the maid to fetch water for her in the bathroom. She took a shower every time before going to bed to rest.
The first time, when Jia Zhen woke up, Xia Lu was still asleep. It was still dark outside. Jia Zhen turned sideways and looked at Xia Lu's sleeping face. His heart was full. In fact, this violent woman was quite good. Although she was sometimes very fierce and only knew how to threaten him, she was very considerate. Jia Zhen remembered what happened yesterday. He actually hugged this violent woman and cried. His face was a little hot.
When Xia Lu moved, Jia Zhen quickly closed his eyes.
Xia Lu opened her eyes and turned to look at Jia Zhen. She found that he was still sleeping soundly. Xia Lu pursed her lips and whispered, "You're like a pig. You sleep so much." After saying that, she got up and walked out.
After Xia Lu opened the door and left, Jia Zhen opened his eyes and muttered softly, "I'm not like a pig." After saying that, he hugged the quilt and went back to sleep. The corners of his mouth were upturned. Obviously, he was in a very good mood.
Xia Lu went for a walk every day except when it rained. After she finished, she went to greet Jia Zhen. Because of Jia Zhen's behavior yesterday, she felt that she should greet her mother-in-law. She didn't want to neglect Jia Zhen just because she had a second child. Although Jia Zhen was already 20 years old, he had always been the only child. He had always been doted on by his mother-in-law and father-in-law. He couldn't bear to suddenly have another child.
"Madam, you look good today." Xia Lu looked at her mother-in-law. Her complexion was indeed good today. Because she was pregnant, her temperament gave people a sense of gentleness. It made people feel very comfortable.
"You monkey, why are you so sweet? I don't have anything else to reward you." Jia Zhen smiled.
"There's no need for Madam to reward me. I'm just telling the truth." Xia Lu also smiled.
"By the way, it's already autumn. Yesterday, I heard from your mother-in-law that Xia family will return to the border in a few days. You should take some time tomorrow to go back and take a look. I don't know when we'll meet again in the future." Jia Zhen sighed. Because of her pregnancy, she was a little sensitive. She couldn't bear to see this kind of parting.
"Thank you, Madam." Xia Lu thanked her. Because Xia family was leaving, Xia Lu also felt a little disappointed. The transportation in ancient times was too inconvenient. He didn't know when they would meet again.
"Yes, let Zheng'er accompany you when the time comes," Jia Zhen said.
"Yes. Speaking of Husband, I have something to tell you." Xia Lu remembered Jia Zhen's disappointed look yesterday and said.
"What's wrong? Did Zheng'er do something wrong? "Jia Zhen was a little worried.
"That's not it." Xia Lu smiled. She thought to herself, Jia Zhen, that fellow, was usually not honest. Now that her own mother heard that she was going to talk to her about Jia Zhen, her first reaction was that Jia Zhen had caused some trouble. "It's like this. When Husband and I returned to the courtyard yesterday, he was a little disappointed."
"Huh?" Jia Zhen didn't quite understand Xia Lu's meaning.
"Then I asked Husband. I finally understood that Husband was afraid," Xia Lu said.
"What was he afraid of? Did something happen? " Jia Zhen was a little worried. Although she was pregnant with another child, they hadn't seen each other yet. She and Jia Zhen had more than 20 years of relationship, and their relationship was still deeper than her relationship with the child in her belly. However, when the child in her belly was born, things would be different. People would love the weak more. The child had just been born and could not speak. Jia Zhen was already 20 years old, so naturally, he would love the child more.
However, everyone forgot that Jia Zhen had been doted on for 20 years. Once the doting was separated, even though he was already an adult, he couldn't bear the disappointment in his heart. Therefore, in the book, he sent Xichun to Xi Province. Out of sight, out of mind. In the end, Jia Zhen and Xichun were both injured.
"Isn't it because Madam is pregnant with his younger brother? He's afraid that Madam will no longer love him. He's afraid that Madam will only have eyes for his younger brother. Our Master's personality is still a little childish. Although he's already an adult, he still needs more love from Madam." Xia Lu chose his words carefully.
"He's already so old. He's already at the age of being a father. Why is he still jealous of his younger brother?" Jia Zhen found it unbelievable.
"But for the first twenty years of his life, he was doted on by his wife alone. Don't they say that no matter how old a child is, in his mother's heart, he will always be that child who hasn't grown up yet?" Xia Lu's eyes were smiling.
"Your words are quite fresh. No matter how old Zheng'er is, in my eyes, he will always be the child who didn't know how to walk or speak." Jia Zhen smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding me. I will pay attention and not neglect Zheng'er."
"Yes, in fact, even if I don't say it, Madam knows. It's just that I'm worried about Master, so I boldly told Madam," Xia Lu said.
Jia Zhen smiled and thought to herself, Sure enough, the daughter-in-law I found for Zheng'er is good. She really cares about Zheng'er.
After Xia Lu served her breakfast, she let Xia Lu go back and asked her to prepare more things for the Xia family. The Xia family was going back to the northwest. That place was not like the capital. They lacked everything they wanted. However, the Xia family was unwilling to stay in the capital. She could only prepare more things for them to bring back.
Xia Lu was naturally grateful for Jia Zhen's arrangement. Although she was not the kind of person who supported her younger brother, sending some things to the Xia family represented her filial piety.
As soon as Xia Lu went back, Jia Jing came back. Her expression was not particularly good.
"What's wrong?" Jia Zhen asked when she saw that Jia Jing's expression was not good.
"It's nothing. It's all about the court. You're a woman. Don't worry so much. Just focus on taking care of the baby," Jia Jing said.
