The Rich And Honorable ChangAn Chapter 75

Chapter 75   

When returned to the capital, Xu ChangAn's stomach was too big to ride anymore, so Xiao QingYan kept him in a carriage, and even himself stayed in the carriage with him almost all the time.

When they left before, it was not summer yet, but now they came back with a sense of coolness. After several months, Xiao QingYan thought maybe his Imperial Father had already accepted the situation.

After thinking about it, Xiao QingYan said something about his Imperial Father to Xu ChangAn on their way back to the capital.

“You don't have to worry about Imperial Father, but I hope you don't hate him in your heart. I'll arrange all these things. Don't be concerned about anything else.” Xiao QingYan was really annoyed by his Imperial Father's actions. Now he knew that Imperial Father had been scheming on him since the day he chose ChangAn as his Wangfei.

ChangAn was helpless and in despair at that time. He could not resist the Emperor's decree in any case. Moreover, when things came to this point, ChangAn had no one he could rely on, which was possible for Imperial Father to make arrangements. Xiao QingYan knew that Imperial Father's deeds were unpleasant, but he had no right to criticize them, because everything Imperial Father did was for him. But no matter how much Imperial Father expected of him, he was afraid that he would fail Imperial Father's expectations.

What the Emperor thought of, Xu ChangAn had guessed a seventy to eighty point. He did not resent the Emperor. The Emperor did not give him a choice, nor did he have a chance to choose. On that day, who said that QingYue stopped him in time? The Emperor looked forward to his words so much that if he insisted on saying, he would not have any relationship with Xiao QingYan now.

“Your Highness, may I ask you a question?” There was no doubt about Xiao QingYan's intention, but ChangAn still wanted to know what Xiao QingYan wanted the most, whether it was to spend his life with him or to ascend the throne as the monarch who dominates the world.

“Say it.”

“Your Highness, that's… If QingZhan or QingYu were the crown prince, would you really not care?” This was not the first time that they have said such a thing. Xiao QingYan had already expressed his attitude. But this was the first time that Xu ChangAn seriously and carefully asked Xiao QingYan this question. Naturally, his heart was tense and his face exposed a few changes.

Looking at his Wangfei's nervous appearance, Xiao QingYan was ready to tease him. Suddenly, he frowned, reached out and touched Xu ChangAn's stomach, and said with a serious face, “I care or not, you already knew it long ago. But our son has grown big; do you think he will resent me when he grows up in the future? Let him live from being a little Prince to a little Wang.”

“Your highness! Don't tease me. I'm worried!” Speaking about this, Xu ChangAn was angry! He felt that the people in South Xinjiang were terrible! How could they make such a terrible thing? This thing in his stomach had been following him for several months, and had been growing slowly. Many times, he could even feel it moving around. If he didn't know what it was, Xu ChangAn almost thought he had a child in his stomach.

“He's getting bigger and bigger. Will he grows forever? As I had feared before, he would grow and grow until he burst my stomach.” Although sitting in the carriage, Xu ChangAn had a place to lean on, but he still leaned on Xiao QingYan's shoulder to nest. Recently, he had become more and more accustomed to relying on Xiao QingYan for everything. Such a habit was really not necessary.

Although Xu ChangAn had been so worried in his heart, he never mentioned it with Xiao QingYan through his mouth. Now that he carelessly spoke it out, when Xiao QingYan listened to the unintentional words, his heart became very complicated.

These days, both of them stay together day by day. Although they both knew that in the stomach was not their child, but they still unconsciously looked at the little thing. Xiao QingYan could feel that ChangAn was more and more careful about his body these days. Now it was almost due; his heart should be very sad. If there was a real child in his stomach, well, they would soon be fathers. Although reluctant, Xiao QingYan did not want to go on like this.

“Once home… Let the imperial physician prescribe a medicine that does not hurt the body as much as possible to get rid of him.” Since it was like a child from the very beginning, would a medicine that could kill a real child be useful to him?

“Wait! ChangAn, I think of a way! Didn't Imperial Father always want you to leave? We can do like this. Now that you are like this, perhaps Imperial Father will force to believe it! Just say you already have my child in your stomach. You are my legal Wangfei, now that we have children, why should Imperial Father abolish you?” Xiao QingYan suddenly felt that he was ridiculously dim-witted. If he had thought about it earlier to secretly prepare people to bring in a child about the same age when the due came, then he would not have to explain it to Imperial Father. His and ChangAn's days would also be clear.

“Sigh, Your Highness, even if we can think clearly, will Imperial Father not know?” Xu ChangAn did not at all understand the monarch of Great Xiao, but he knew that man was a terrible man; his mind was deep and everything was well thought out and what ChangAn and Xiao QingYan did was only a joke in his eyes.

“Of course I know that. But what I want is not to persuade Imperial Father, but to persuade the courtiers and even the people of the world! I want you to stay with me without being criticized and ridiculed. Now I think that's the only way to do it!”

“But, but… Isn't that more strange? Men who can have children? Isn't that more unacceptable to others?” Xu ChangAn himself looked forward to this child very much, and naturally did not care that he as a man could conceived, but other people were different! Such a thing was contrary to proper human relationships; that there would be people who would regard him as evildoer.

“… Forget it, don't think about it first. You only need to raise your body rest assuredly. Leave the rest to me!” Because of Xu ChangAn's concerns, Xiao QingYan suddenly had a different idea.

Son of Heaven, Son of Heaven!

If he was the Son of Heaven, all he thought and said was Heaven's meaning! In this world, there were only two kinds of attitudes for strange things, and these two attitudes were the difference between Heaven and Earth.

If they were just ordinary people, the child in ChangAn's stomach would be considered as evil beings, but not if they were the masters of all the people in the world! So the child in ChangAn's stomach was the Son of God, the grace of Heaven!

At the foot of the capital, this time the Emperor led his concubines and hundreds of officials out of the city to welcome the two sons who came home with great victory. Xiao QingYan, who had made up his mind, had no scruples at all. He personally supported Xu ChangAn, who was already pregnant, and got out of the carriage and went to the Emperor himself.

Xu ChangAn could hear the voices of surprise and exhalation around him every step ahead. He knew Xiao QingYan deliberately exposed his present appearance. He also knew Xiao QingYan's purpose. So he had no fear or shame in his heart and on his face. He calmly followed Xiao QingYan and showed everyone, their family of three. –Xu ChangAn's physical condition had been reported to the Emperor for a long time. He knew that Xu ChangAn's body was strange, but the impact he saw with his own eyes today was definitely not comparable to a letter.

The Emperor took so much effort to suppress the surprise in his heart. He did not even let them return to the Wang Residence, but let them enter the Palace directly. Since Xu ChangAn stepped into the Emperor's Taiji Palace, the imperial physicians began to check his pulse and body one by one.

“Reporting to Your Majesty, Xian Wangfei… He's really pregnant! This… Such a strange thing, oh no! This is a wonder that this old minister as a physician for decades has never seen!” Dozens of imperial physicians, everyone's answer was the same. Xiao QingYan looked at Imperial Father's complex face, knelt down directly towards the people, and told what he had long thought of.

“The sudden storms of that day trapped Wang and Wangfei in the mountain. That night, Wang and Wangfei had the same dream, in which a golden light rushed into our arms. Now, thinking about it, could it be that is happy encounter for me and Wangfei? Is this where the child comes from?” Nowadays, only by attributing this matter to the will of Heaven could they make the world accept it and dare not say anything about it

Xu ChangAn was still laid in bed. He was stunned by what Xiao QingYan said as if it were true. He kept a wooden face and nodded occasionally in line with Xiao QingYan's words. When he found Xiao QingYan had sat beside him, he looked back and found nobody in the room.

“Your Highness, but… Where are we going to get a child?”

“Since this is Heaven's favor, then naturally it is different from ordinary people. The normal child in pregnancy is ten months, but he, this child will be born at the right time. As for that time… It should be when I can guarantee that no matter what happens, no one can hurt you and I can protect you.”

“Is that all right? Isn't it strange?”

“Nothing is impossible, rest assured.” Because there was nothing else that was stranger than this.

Finally returned to the Wang Residence; the familiar place, Xu ChangAn relaxed physically and mentally. He wanted to have a good rest first, but before he sat down, the servant came to report that the Fourth Prince came.

“No, take a good rest. I'll go out and greet him. You must be tired after a month of jolting on the road, have a good rest.”

“En, greet His Fourth Highness for me.” Xu ChangAn did not like Xiao QingYan's younger brother very much, and he was not close to him, so Xiao QingYan did what he said.

At first he thought Xiao Qingyan would be back after a while. After all, he just came back from the battlefield. They were blood brothers; there should be a lot of words to say. But he did not expect that Xiao QingYan come back so soon.

“Your Highness, why did you come so soon, how about QingYu? He's gone?” After becoming more and more intimate with Xiao QingYan, Xu ChangAn would follow Xiao QingYan to call his younger brothers and sister directly when he occasionally at ease. He now called QingZhan and QingYue rather than Jing Wang and Princess. –“Well, he has something to do and leave the capital for a while. I'm afraid we won't be able to see him sometime in the future.”

Xiao QingYu was leaving the capital. No wonder he looked bad.

“It's almost New Year, and he's out now and who knows when he'll be back.” Looking at Xiao QingYan's face, Xu ChangAn thought that Xiao QingYan was angry and worried, so after saying these things, he comforted him: “Don't worry, he is no longer a child, it should be really something. He should have come back on New Year.”

“Yes, he's no longer a child. I don't have to worry about him.” He was no longer a child, so if he did something wrong, he had to bear the consequences himself.
