Nagato has such a slim waist

Chapter 574 Golden Wind and Jade Dew
To celebrate the capital's relocation, a grand banquet was held in the imperial city. Civil and military officials gathered together. The lights were bright, music was melodious, and the place was bustling with people toasting each other and drinking.

Before the banquet began, Pei Cong patiently sent someone to Changmen to invite Feng Yun.

The emperor has become shorter.

Unexpectedly, the palace maid who came back reported:

"My wife has caught a cold, and I am afraid that the disease will spread to Your Majesty, so it is inconvenient for her to enter the palace..."

It was inconvenient to enter the palace, but gifts were sent.

A cold bronze beast incense burner, grinning, was placed on the imperial desk.

It was as if mocking the emperor's self-conceit.

This Feng Shier Niang is too bold.

The court officials concealed their expressions and held their breath, fearing that the emperor would vent his anger on them.

However, the emperor ordered the bronze animal incense burner to be put away without any criticism.

"Then let her have a good rest."

The court officials looked at each other and exchanged glances.

There was a sadness in their eyes, as if a country had been destroyed.

The country and the beauty, Your Majesty, are there only beauties in your eyes, not the country?
-
It was a grand dinner, and the emperor and his ministers enjoyed themselves to the fullest.

When the party ended, it was already late at night.

Pei Cong left the palace quietly with a small group of people and headed for Huaxi...

The streets of Huaxi are brightly lit and bustling with people. Looking around, you can see steaming food everywhere and people going out of their homes for a midnight snack.

This kind of worldly life is completely different from the country path that Pei Jue rode on many years ago.

Huaxi is still awake.

Nagato's lamp went out early.

Looking from the outside, except for a lantern under the porch, the whole house was immersed in the dark night, like a crawling giant beast.

Qian Sanniu sighed softly.

He even began to sympathize with the emperor.

It’s fine that your lady didn’t come to welcome you and refused to attend the banquet, but she didn’t even leave a lamp for Your Majesty?

If an ordinary family’s wife behaved like this, she would probably be scolded, let alone the emperor’s wife?

The carriage stopped.

Qian Sanniu opened the curtain carefully, his hands trembling, and made an excuse for Feng Yun.

"My lady may not know that His Majesty will come..."

"She knows." Pei Jue slowly gathered his cloak and looked at the dark house with his dark eyes. "She is waiting for me."

Questions popped up in Qian Sanniu's head.

He didn't see any warmth in this dark house.

Where does His Majesty get the confidence to be so sure that the lady is waiting for him?

Qian Sanniu said: "I will go and knock on the door..."

"No need." Pei Jue stopped him, put the cloak in his hand, walked straight through the gate, walked around the wall and went towards the backyard.

Qian Sanniu was stunned for a moment in confusion, and just as he was about to follow, Ji You reached out to stop him.

"do not go."

Qian Sanniu said "Oh" and was a little puzzled.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing? You don't want to go through the main gate. Are you trying to climb over the wall?"

Jiyou raised his eyebrows and looked at him sympathetically.

"Hurry up and find a wife. When you have one, you will understand everything."

Qian Sanniu was an honest man, and he felt even more surprised when he heard the sound.

"Isn't Guard Ji also not married? No, what does this have to do with whether he gets married or not?"

Ji You turned his head to look at him and hooked his finger.

When he got closer, she asked mysteriously:
"Guess why the lady turned off the lights?"

"Why?" Qian Sanniu was puzzled.

"Stupid." Ji You knocked him on the head, glanced at him, and then put his arm around his shoulder and said, "What is your Majesty's current status? If he enters openly through the main gate, how many eyes will he attract, and how much trouble will he cause?"

Qian Sanniu's eyes lit up.

Jiyou chuckled when he saw that he understood.

"Your Majesty and his wife haven't seen each other for a long time and don't want to be disturbed. What do you think is more interesting, a group of people kowtow to greet each other, or quietly go to the young wife's room and close the door to talk privately?"
-
There was no light in Feng Yun's room.

But today was August 15th, and the weather was fine. At night, the full moon hung brightly in the sky, like a silver lantern. The soft light of the cold moon sprinkled on Pei Jue's body, illuminating his well-defined face, making him look extraordinarily handsome.

The door was tightly closed, with no latch.

He pushed gently and walked in.

There was no maid to keep watch, and even Aozai was not there.

The curtains in the room fluttered lightly. He opened them, letting in the bright white moonlight, which reflected warmly on the wooden couch...

"Yun Niang, I'm back."

Feng Yun did not answer. She seemed to be asleep. She lay there curled up quietly, her eyebrows and eyes were the same as yesterday. She looked lonely. The quilt covered her shoulders. She looked a little...

Pei Jue subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

Her originally thin figure seemed to have become a lot fatter, and her thin little face had also become rounder.

Feng Yun woke up when Pei Jue lit the candle.

She yawned, smiled, and slowly sat up, hugging the quilt.

"I waited and waited until I fell asleep. What time is it?"

There was a faint smile on her face, with fire dancing in her eyes, as if the two of them had never been apart. She did not explain why she did not go to welcome the emperor or attend the night banquet in the palace. She just looked at him with clear eyes, revealing tenderness.

Pei Jue didn't say anything, just looked at her motionlessly.

That look was something Feng Yun had never seen before, and he didn't know how to describe it...

It was as if he had traveled through a long time to reach her side from the distant horizon. His concern and pity were as bright as the stars.

Feng Yun sighed slightly and waved at him. "Why are you so far away? Come and take a closer look."

Pei Jue approached slowly, dressed in loose casual clothes, tall and cold, like a green pine on a snowy mountain.

"Did you ask Yao Ru to come and see if you're feeling unwell? Why didn't you mention anything in the letter?"

Feng Yun smiled and looked into his eyes.

"I've seen it." Feng Yun nodded seriously.

"How to say?"

Feng Yun raised his eyes and sighed slightly.

"I'm afraid there will be some trouble. We can no longer live happily in the future..."

Pei Jue's dark eyes sank, and there seemed to be a chill in his eyes.

He sat down beside the couch, "What's wrong with you?"

"I feel uncomfortable everywhere..." Feng Yun lowered her eyes, bit her lower lip, and looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Pei Jue frowned slightly, pulled her hand over and held it tightly.

"Don't be afraid, you still have me."

"But..." Feng Yun glanced at him hesitantly, then quickly lowered his head and whispered, "Your Majesty, do you really not mind if someone comes between us and competes with you for women?"

Pei Jue's eyes narrowed.

Just as she was about to speak, Feng Yun pulled her hand over, lifted the quilt, and gently placed it on her bulging belly.

"I know you have me in your heart, but I have him in my belly. What should I do?"

"What did you say?" Pei Jue didn't move and stared at her for a long time.

It's not that he didn't hear clearly.

But, I want to hear her say it again.

Feng Yun chuckled, leaned over slightly, and whispered in his ear, "I say, Pei Gou, I'm pregnant. Yours."

"Nonsense! Of course it's mine."

Pei Jue suddenly reached out his hand and hugged her tightly, with a gleam of extreme surprise in his eyes. Just as he hugged her, he quickly let go of her hand, as if he was afraid of hurting her, and just carefully held her shoulders with his palm.

"Yun Niang...I am not dreaming, am I?"

He looked at Feng Yun's bulging belly with a deep and complex gaze. Even though he tried his best to restrain himself, he could not hide his excitement.

"You and I put aside our ties and each take what we need."

"No love, no marriage, no entering the harem, no bearing children."

"Enjoy yourself when you are together, and don't be entangled when you are apart. Be happy when you come, and don't be sad when you leave."

The promise he had nodded to himself was repeated in his ears over and over again. It stopped him from being sentimental and made him hesitate and afraid to ask for a child easily.

He knew Yunniang's past life better than anyone else...

As time goes by, I am lucky enough to have her again.

He could obey her in any barrier she didn't want him to break, or any pain she didn't want to acknowledge anymore.

Even if I have to endure the criticism of thousands of people...

He's even thought about it.

If I am not destined to have a child in this life, I will adopt Zuo later.

Ah Zuo is close to Yun Niang. He is a smart child and will never let her down in the future...

But now Yunniang is pregnant...

They are going to have children of their own.

Happiness came too suddenly, and he was so excited that his arms were tense and almost trembling.

"Yun Niang, pinch me."

Feng Yun was slightly startled, then laughed softly, stretched out two white fingers and pinched his hard arm hard, and asked with a smile: "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." His voice was hoarse.

“……” Feng Yun took a breath, turned his palm over and reached downward, then exerted force again.

"Hiss!" Pei Jue regained consciousness from the pain, "What a cruel woman."

Feng Yun raised his eyebrows and smiled smugly, "So what if I'm cruel? I'll have someone to help me in the future, and you won't be able to bully me anymore."

When has he ever bullied her?
She has been bullying him all along.

Pei Jue's emotions were in turmoil, mixed feelings, but he was a cold-blooded person. Even though there was a surging ocean in his heart, he had no outlet to vent.

He gently stroked Feng Yun's bulging belly.

"How many months?"

"More than five months."

Pei Cong stared at the arc and frowned.

He had no idea that the woman was pregnant, and it was inconvenient for him to say anything. He just watched her changes and sighed slightly.

"When I wasn't around, did they take good care of you? They kept it a secret, even my spies didn't know. Yunniang, you must have suffered a lot alone, right?"

He did not blame her for hiding it.

I just worry that she will suffer.

Feng Yun chuckled and glared at him with raised eyebrows.

"Oh wow, so there are spies planted in my Nagato?"

Pei Jue: "It's not like you've known this for the first time, right?"

It was precisely because he knew this that Feng Yun kept the secret so secretive.

Because the mouth is the most difficult thing to keep secret because it is used for eating and talking...

If one person knows, a group of people will know.

Then let everyone know.

Pei Cong lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

"I'm sorry, Yunniang, I'm too late."
