Chapter 120 Grand Tutor forced to suffer!
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Xia Mingyuan, seeing his wife fall when hitting him, was shocked. He carried his wife and called for the doctor. The doctor hurriedly rushed into the mansion, took her pulse and found that the consort had been pregnant for more than a month. This was shocking, but Xia Mingyuan was incredibly happy. With a wave of his hand, he said politely: “The prince’s consort is pregnant and is not suitable to travel.” Then, he especially ordered her to raise her baby in the mansion, and the matter of visiting the prince was to be discussed later.
Of course, Xia Mingyuan was kicked out of the room by Liu Yixiang as soon as he said this. However, Liu Yixiang also knew that there was no other way. It was really not suitable to travel while she was pregnant, so she wrote a letter expressing her congratulations to Xia Yuqing and Feng Tingye.
It was ten days later when Xia Yuqing got the letter. She was drinking soup at the time, and she almost choked to death when she saw the content of the letter: “Cough cough cough… has a baby? Xiang Er is pregnant?! Shoot, eldest royal brother, you beast, how long has it been… unexpectedly… No, I’m going to Xia Country to see Xiang Er!”
“Um, Niang Niang, Niang Niang, you are still in confinement, you can’t run outside. Whom do you want to find? Nu Bi will find them for you, don’t move.”
“Oh, Lu Rui, go and call the emperor and tell him I have something important to discuss with him. Also, tell someone to go to CiNing Palace and tell royal mother that Xiang Er is pregnant.” Xia Yuqing exclaimed while holding Lu Rui’s hand.
Lu Rui was startled, and nodded hurriedly: “Nu Bi knows, Niang Niang wait here. Nu Bi will go and come back soon.”
“En.”
Liu Yixiang’s pregnancy may be well known in Xia State, but the news has not travelled to Ye Kingdom yet. Therefore, it was also the first time that Zhang Sunshi heard about this and was immediately surprised. After the surprise, she was delighted. Liu Yixiang was sent to Xia Country to develop a more intimate relationship. Now that she has children, even if Xia Mingyuan has a few more concubines, Liu Yixiang will have children by her side. Thus, Zhang Sunshi would not fear her suffering too much from Xia Mingyuan.
As for Feng Tingye, when he learned of this, he was chatting with a few people about the empress crowning ceremony in the Imperial Study Room. Hearing that Xia Yuqing was looking for him, he immediately left his group of friends and went straight to Xiefang Hall.
“Someone’s problem of paying more attention to their lover than friends is getting more and more serious.” Yan Ran looked on haggardly with his handsome face facing the wind.
The two people on the side gave him a blank look. Leng Ruofeng frowned but was a little puzzled: “I feel that this is not so simple.”
Xia Yuqing rarely takes the initiative to find Feng Tingye, if it was not important, at this time when Feng Tingye was obviously discussing matters with his courtiers, she would not come to Feng Tingye.
“Do you know why Niang Niang is looking for the emperor?” Shao Zitong turned his head and glanced at Xiao Shunzi, who had been silent in the background behind him.
When Xiao Shunzi heard Shao Zitong’s question, his eyes lit up suddenly. He stepped forward and said, “Reporting to Shangshu Daren, as far as Nu Bi knows, it is because Niang Niang has just received a letter from Xia Country.”
“A letter from Xia Country? Could it be news from Xiang Er?” The three looked at each other.
Xiao Shunzi quickly replied and said with a faint smile: “Yes, Nu Cai heard that Miss Liu is pregnant.”
“Oh, it turns out that Xiang Er is pregnant, no wonder…” Yan Ran suddenly realized something halfway through the conversation. His eyes widened suddenly.
“…”
There was a moment of silence in the royal study room. Several Da Rens suddenly asked in unison: “What did you say?!”
On the other hand, Feng Tingye’s surprise was no less than that of the three, except that there was another problem for him to deal with at this moment.
“Ai Fei, you mean you want to go back to Xia Country to see Xiang Er?”
“What do you mean go back to Xia Country? It’s just a visit. I don’t live there anymore, how can it count as going back?”
Feng Tingye breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. With a faint smile, “You really want to go?”
“Mhmm, Chen Qie hasn’t seen Xiang Er for a long time and misses her a lot. I thought that after the two children were born, Xiang Er would come back to take a look.…But since she can’t come back, it’s better to let Chen Qie go and visit her.”
Feng Tingye nodded: “Okay, but Zhen has to go with you and we have to go secretly. If others discover our identity, it will be very troublesome.”
Xia Yuqing was stunned. Thinking of her and Feng Tingye’s identity, if it was found out, there would be a real possibility of trouble. Thus, she nodded obediently, “Chen Qie understands, then let’s go now.”
Xia Yuqing couldn’t wait to pull Feng Tingye to leave, but was held back by Feng Tingye: “Hold on.”
“…what’s the matter?” Is it possible that after only a while, the Ultra Seme Lord changed his mind?
“We can go, but not now. Ai Fei is still in confinement, it is not suitable to go out and be exposed to the harsh conditions outside. We also need to prepare for the long journey. If we go now, we won’t even be halfway to Xia and we will encounter trouble.”
Xia Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief that he was not changing his mind: “Your Majesty, then when can we leave?”
“Don’t be in a rush. We will wait until the children are over one month and after you are crowned empress to leave.”
Ten days later, it was the first little prince and little princess of the Ye Kingdom’s one month celebration. It was also the day after Xia Yuqing’s crowning, the day that Xia Yuqing had eagerly anticipated.
On this day, the capital of Ye Kingdom was very lively. With lights and festoons, it was no less inferior to festive celebrations. Although not many people in Ye Kingdom have seen Xia Yuqing, they were no strangers at all to this Consort Qing who has been an active topic amongst the people since she arrived in Ye Kingdom.
There was the banquet where her zither sounds had made Prince Rui not dare to go out for a few days. Later, she was able to partake in state relations and successfully develop a relationship between Xia Guo and Ye Guo. Furthermore, their wise and talented emperor was willing to not increase the number in the harem for her. For his life, he would only treasure her. All these rumors had allowed Xia Yuqing’s image to deeply root itself into the hearts of the people. It was this woman who quickly had the emperor’s child and gave birth to a dragon and phoenix in one fell swoop. Not everyone can have such a blessing to give birth to a pair of children.
Many people were already wondering what kind of a delicate, dignified, beautiful, gentle and virtuous lady she was, that can be loved by the emperor and even God. She was someone who was given all the good things in life. However, the fact is…
Inside the imperial palace, in the hall where monarchs and ministers discuss daily affairs, a woman in red slowly walked in. A luxurious gold and silver luan bird embroidered silk dress fluttered towards the ground and wrapped around the girl’s waist and voluptuous parts. Long black hair that was as black as ink was rolled up into a high bun. In addition to the phoenix crown at the front, it was also dotted with various gold, silver and pearls.
On the high platform, a man wearing a dragon robe with similar textures smiled when he saw this. His eyes, glazed, stared at the girl who slowly walked towards him. His eyes were full of pampering. It seems that as long as this person was there, there was no room for others in his eyes.
Facing the inquiring, curious, suspicious and blessing gazes of the civil and military officials, Xia Yuqing stepped on the road paved by the big red carpet. Step by step, she headed towards the man at the highest point.
When she was on the last step, the man who was watching her stretched out his hand towards her.
Xia Yuqing was stunned. She slowly stretched her hand into Feng Tingye’s hand. Then with the help of the other party, she walked to Feng Tingye’s side. The two stood side by side, like a talented and beautiful couple who can only appear in paintings. Who would have thought that these two heroic and glamorous young people were actually the most noble man and woman in Ye Kingdom today?
“Long live the emperor, long live the empress!”
In an instant, the courtiers all knelt down in the court. The voices of blessings for their emperor echoed throughout the palace for a long time.
Feng Tingye glanced at the courtiers below. Slightly tightening the hand holding Xia Yuqing’s hand, he turned to look at Xia Yuqing’s unhappy expression, he couldn’t help but feel a little suspicious: “What’s the matter? Unhappy?”
“Head… “Xia Yuqing listened to Feng Tingye’s question, and looked up at him a little aggrieved.
“Huh? What’s wrong with your head?” Could it be that the ministers below frightened her?
“My head is heavy!” Xia Yuqing bitterly complained, finally being able to voice her concern.
“…”
“With so many things on my head, its making my head dizzy! Also, the clothes are too heavy. Every step is so difficult, I can’t move!” Xia Yuqing wanted to burst into tears. She looked at Feng Tingye pitifully. She seemed to be saying that if she were to walk back like this later, she would cry for him!
“…” Feng Tingye was silent for a while. He couldn’t cry or laugh. The person in front of him could always say surprising but helpless words at these critical moments.
Because of Xia Yuqing’s few words, Feng Tingye felt the solemn atmosphere in the hall suddenly run away and was replaced with a bit of joy, which made people laugh. But… forget it. If the person in front of him wasn’t like that, maybe he wouldn’t have been attracted to her at first.
“Hey, bear with Zhen for a while. Zhen will carry you back to change your clothes later.”
“Oh.” Xia Yuqing reluctantly agreed, secretly planning to never wear such cumbersome clothes again. If she were to encounter a vicious dog chasing her, she really couldn’t even run!
On the evening of the crowning ceremony, it was a special show for the two little babies. Within a month, the two buns had faded away from the ugly little monkeys they were at the beginning. Now, they have become two hot, pink and tender little buns. Their plump little cheeks had the cutest dimple, especially the second baby. In a month’s time, compared to when she was born, she has become a lot closer to her nickname. This made Xia Yuqing suspicious of the fact of whether she could hold her second bun or not when she returned from Xia Country.
Big bun was still avoiding Xia Yuqing as always, but both buns seem to have brought out a deep sibling relationship from their mother’s womb. Big bun was only a month old but he always held on to second bun and would not let go. He would only feel wronged when he gives in under the claws of Xia Yuqing. But nothing can be done, who made his younger sister like his foolishly cute mother? He could only reluctantly yield ……
Tut tut, so small and was already a siscon. What will he do when he grows up? Hehehe, she should really nurture her second baby. When her second baby can speak, then she won’t be afraid that her big baby will not change from straight to curved, oh ho ho ho…
Lu Rui, who was helping to look after the little princess and the little prince who had rolled into a ball, saw Xia Yuqing’s ill-intentioned smile and suddenly knew what weird idea her master was thinking of. Sure enough, they should still isolate the little prince and little princess from the empress, otherwise… the future of Ye Kingdom was really worrying! ! !
“Wifey, look, aren’t those two little dolls in my junior sister’s house so cute? How about… us too…” Su Wuduan, who has resurrected from the accidental injury, has returned to his old habits again, stubbornly following his own ideas and stalking. As the saying goes, fierce women are afraid of stalkers. But, he didn’t believe it. With his suave, gentle, jade-like outer beauty, and gentle, introverted considerate nature for beauties, he doubted he couldn’t capture the fierce woman in front of him. It’s a pity that…he met someone who was known for being calm and collected, widely known as the final boss.
Faced with the endless entanglement of Su Wuduan, Cui Er only rewarded him: “You like children? Then you give birth to some.”
“…” Lu Rui and the other palace ladies who served Xia Yuqing on the day of giving birth were all aroused. In their hearts they were thinking, Cui Er Jiejie is really getting better and better these days. She can say these kinds of things without changing her face. She is worthy of being the number one Ya Tou in the Xiefang Palace. We must learn from Cui Er Jiejie. In the future, they’ll let those men take a good look at their greatness, hmph…
“Me give birth? Oh, I understand, I understand. I will work hard, don’t worry about this wife.” Su Wuduan obviously misunderstood Cui Er’s words and revealed a shameless smile with a profound meaning.
“…” Master Su, do you really understand what Cui Er Jiejie meant? Several court ladies unanimously moved their eyes to Cui Er’s body, wanting to see how she responds.
Cui Er gave a cold smile and disdainfully looked Su Wuduan up and down. She sighed loudly: “Unfortunately, even if you can give birth, I cannot afford it. Also, I’m not your wife.”
Then without waiting for Su Wuduan’s response, she turned and walked away leisurely. Su Wuduan froze for a while, then reacted with hindsight: “Why is it that I am giving birth and she is raising it, something is wrong here. Hey, wife, don’t run. You don’t have to worry about not being able to support it. There’s still me. Wife…”
Lu Rui and the others watched Su Wuduan who could not figure out the situation and said in their heart, Master Su, rest in peace. Catching up like this before you figure out the situation, Cui Er Jiejie will not be tolerant of you. Amen~~~ We wish you can come back alive!
The two little buns, as the first prince and princess under Feng Tingye, were naturally very noble and prestigious. Their full moon banquet was held together with the crowning ceremony, which was naturally beyond the reach of ordinary civilians.
After the banquet, Xia Yuqing’s hands were weak from receiving gifts for the two children. She also had to deal with the pregnant or not pregnant women of the official family who were aroused by the two cute little buns. It can be said to be an extraordinary hardship. It was indescribable, but the person who had it the hardest in the whole banquet was not her, but… Yan Ran.
“The little prince and the little princess are really cute. I wonder if Chen can be honored to hold them?” Yan Ran glanced at the two baby dolls who were still swaddling and he couldn’t help but exclaim in his heart: It’s really unfair. How could that unreliable girl and Feng Tingye give birth to two such cute dolls. A bamboo giving birth to good shoots, that guy really got it lucky.
The two children looked like a pair of golden children. Hugging them might get rid of his recent bad luck. Thinking like this, Yan Ran naturally asked.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this remark came out, Lu Rui and the others, who had recently classified Yan Ran as a first-level dangerous household item, immediately sounded the first-level alarm. They all blocked Yan Ran like a thief, for fear that he would hurt the cute little prince and princess.
“…” Yan Ran looked at the posture of the several people, petrified.
“Cough cough, just let him hold them.” Shao Zitong and the others looked at him pitifully. They couldn’t help but speak for him.
Lu Rui glanced at them and hesitated, “Well then, just once.”
“…” Yan Ran was not happy, but felt even more heartbroken.
First was the second baby. Yan Ran liked baby girls. He thought baby girls were usually better behaved, but it’s a pity…
The second baby, who has always been afraid of strangers and seeing that the odor was different from usual when she nestled in Yan Ran’s arms, looked up. Seeing an unfamiliar face, the second baby blinked her eyes, squashed her small mouth, and started howling.
“Waa…” While howling, she hit Yan Ran, completely treating Yan Ran as a sandbag.
“…”
“Oh, the little princess is crying, hurry and take her back.” When Lu Rui and the others heard the cry of the second baby, they immediately snatched the baby from Yan Ran’s arms and surrounded the second baby carefully. Coaxing her, it took a long while to stop the little baby. She hiccuped from her tears and turned over in Lu Rui’s arms.
Lu Rui and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the tear marks on the second baby’s face, she felt distressed. Once again Yan Ran was rewarded with a roll of their eyes.
“…” Yan Ran frustrated for a moment, cast his eyes on the other bun with outrage. He couldn’t believe he couldn’t hold a child. The one just now must be an accident, an accident!
Big bun was originally asleep, but when he heard his sister’s cry, he slowly opened his eyes. After waiting for his sister to stop crying and be returned to him, he was picked up by a stranger.
Is this the person the one who made his sister cry? The eyes of Big Bun turned slightly, revealing the cunning that was indistinguishable from Feng Tingye. In the next second…
“Didadida…” The sound of water droplets on the ground made the noise on the side suddenly become silent.
Yan Ran looked at his soaked clothes and the innocent expression of the baby in his arms with a twitching face: “…”
“Ahahahaha…stop, I’m going to laugh myself to death! You evildoer, even you will have such a day. This must be the infamous Tongzi Niao* and it’s even from our prince. Why don’t you thank the Lord? Hahaha, no, Ruofeng, let me lean on you.” Shao Zitong was the first to react. He began to laugh at him unceremoniously since the baby boy pissed on Yan Ran.

“Good job, worthy of my son.” Xia Yuqing heard the movement, rushed over from the side and grabbed big bun from Yan Ran’s arms.
Yan Ran maintained the posture of holding the child, only to feel a cold wind pass by before his eyes. His heart was broken and cold.
Feng Tingye looked at big bun who was staring at Yan Ran provocatively in Xia Yuqing’s arms, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked. He was indeed his son. For the man who caused the tears of his second baby, her elder brother has taken action. If he has nothing to express as a father, it might be a bit unreasonable.
Yan Ran, who was immersed in sorrow, obviously didn’t know that he was being forced to suffer. That’s why you shouldn’t court disasters if you don’t want to die!!!
The full moon banquet was held very late. On this night, the guests enjoyed themselves and inevitably drank a lot, especially Yan Ran. Using the wine to wash away his sorrows, he was so drunk, he had to rest in the guest room of the palace.
The next morning, when Yan Ran woke up from a hangover, he heard an exclamation: “It’s not good, it’s not good. Grand Tutor, Grand Tutor….”
“What’s the matter? Why are you disturbing people’s dreams in the morning.”
“Letter, there is a letter for you.” The little eunuch broke into the door, holding a letter for Yan Ran.
Yan Ran accepted the letter in a daze. As soon as he opened it to see the content, his body quivered and woke up.
“Dear Gorgeous Tutor…” Yan Ran felt a shiver down his back. He could guarantee that Feng Tingye was grinding his teeth behind her back when Xia Yuqing wrote this.
“Ben Gong and the emperor are very happy to hear that Xiang Er is pregnant, and for peace of mind, have decided to visit the Xia palace in person. Cui Er and Xiao Yuan will be taken with Ben Gong from the palace. Hearing that the Prime Minister is very knowledgeable, it will be helpful for him to come with us, so we took him along. General He has been dispirited lately, so Ben Gong and the emperor thought that if he went out for a walk and appreciated exotic customs, he might feel a little more happy, so I also brought him with us. We have entrusted the two babies to royal mother and my master to assist Lu Rui. Gorgeous Tutor does not need to worry much. We just ask that the Gorgeous tutor take care of the rest.”
These were written by Xia Yuqing. Feng Tingye only left a sentence at the end. Strong and powerful words: “The crown prince will supervise the country. The Grand Tutor and Shang Shu will serve together in government affairs and wait for Zhen and the empress to return to the palace.”
F*** this, F**** your sister! How could that little bean prince supervise the country? And also leaving myself and that awkward and violent person to assist in government affairs… at least leave Leng Ruofeng to me! I’ve been played, I’ve been played until I’m broken!
So on the day after the crowning ceremony and the two babies’ full moon ceremony, everyone in the palace who got up early heard an earth-shattering roar: “Feng Tingye, you b**tard, come back right now!”
The b**tard who obviously could not hear his “affectionate call”, at this time was enjoying the bliss of having a beautiful woman in his arms, sightseeing, and had forgotten all his duties! Ha ha ha

Oh damn. Does that mean Xia Mingyuan and Liu Yixiang actually ended up falling in love? Now I wanna hear what happened after they went back.
