Chapter 68 One Month Pregnancy
After returning to the Beast King Palace, Duotu always used the excuse of being busy with official business and didn't even come to Taoyuanwu a few times. Even if he came, he had no intention of touching her.
Sang Luo was really confused. He didn't give it to her but she asked for it. Then he asked for it but she didn't give it to him. Could this bastard be more straightforward?
She even suspected that he had taken too many drugs and was no longer able to have sex!
Sang Luo has been in the palace for more than half a month. The more dull the days are, the more upset she becomes. She can't wait any longer! She must quickly cut the Gordian knot. Time can't be wasted any longer. She must complete the task and leave quickly!
She had been planning to take the initiative to find Duotu, but her physical condition was a little abnormal.
Sang Luo, who had given birth to two children, knew her body very well. Thinking that her period had not come this month, she went to the imperial physician's palace halfway.
After the witch doctor finished the examination, his face changed suddenly, and Sang Luo thought he had some terminal illness.
"Congratulations, Her Majesty, you are pregnant with a child and are already one month pregnant!"
"..."
Sang Luo's heart was slightly moved, but then he calmed down again. He took an apple from the fruit bowl, peeled it, and took two bites. It seemed that he had tried his best to sow seeds that month. It would be good if she got pregnant. The sooner she got pregnant, the sooner she could get out of this situation.
Multi-picture was her goal.
The mixed-blooded natural king beast angel lion is hard to come by.
Sang Luo had planned before that after becoming a partner with him, they would have another litter of offspring.
Although these unpleasant things happened later, she had promised him early in the morning, so it can be considered that the grudge has a result...
Forget it, don't think too much about it. Sang Luo gently touched her still flat belly. After giving birth to this child, she would leave the Alans Empire and the Western Continent.
The witch doctor asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to tell the Beast King this good news now?"
Sang Luo hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Tell him."
study.
Duotu was handling official business, and his expression was unusually cool and handsome.
An orc came to report in a hurry. The moment he heard the news, he stood up instantly, and the document in his hand fell to the ground. His head buzzed, and he could hardly hear any sound, "Luoluo..."
It took him a long time to react, his handsome face was full of joy, and he teleported to the Imperial Hospital in the next second. Sang Luo took some pregnancy-preserving medicine, but before he could leave, he was hugged by someone.
Her body stiffened, and she subconsciously wanted to push him away. Her hand paused, but she slowly placed it on the man's strong arm and chuckled, "Your Majesty, why are you so out of control today?"
"Luoluo, you are pregnant. Is this true?" Duotu was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly.
Sang Luo smiled and took out the test report and showed it to him carefully. "The witch doctor said it himself, how could it be false?"
Duotu picked her up horizontally and strode out the door, saying to the witch doctors, "Reward, a huge reward!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Sang Luo buried her head deeply in his chest. From an angle that no one could see, her smile gradually faded. She seemed relieved and no longer happy.
Duotu carried her back to the bedroom in Taoyuanwu, holding her hand for a long time.
Sang Luo took the initiative to ask, "Your Majesty, do you have anything else to tell me?"
"You, is there anything missing in your palace? Is there anything you need to buy?"
"No, His Majesty has arranged everything properly, and I live very well in the palace."
"How did the two witch doctors serve you during the last delivery? If they are suitable, I can transfer them over, or you can go to the Imperial Hospital and pick out a few experienced witch doctors to serve you, to avoid any accidents." His tone was obviously nervous and helpless.
Sang Luo smiled comfortingly, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I'm fine. This is not my first time giving birth."
Duotu's palms were sweating, and he hesitated to speak. Sang Luo joked, "If Your Majesty doesn't say something sooner, you may not have time to say it later."
"Luoluo, let's...let's do the couple-binding ceremony. Otherwise, it won't look good if we wait until the baby is born to do it again..."
"Okay."
Duotu was stunned for a moment before he realized what she had said. He stood up excitedly and said, "I'll get ready right away!"
"Then I'll leave everything to Your Majesty. I won't worry about it." Sang Luo yawned, obviously sleepy.
Duotu covered her with a blanket, touched her face gently, and stayed by the bed for a while before leaving.
Sang Luo opened her eyes again and looked out the window with a calm look.
She would choose an appropriate time to leave, but she didn't want her child to stay and be criticized.
She doesn't like to take pictures anymore.
But this future little prince, the next crown prince of the Alans Empire who is highly anticipated, should be born happily under the love of the Beast King and the Queen.
Before she left, she had to at least leave behind the last thing she could give.
Everything about the couple-tying ceremony was handed over to Duotu.
With the experience from last time, he made all the arrangements this time and the process was much faster than last time.
After all, the couple's marriage ceremony was held one month later.
On the eve of the event, the servants had taken care of her makeup and hair. Sang Luo held up her delicate cheek with one hand, staring boredly at the dawn gradually breaking outside the window, and yawned.
It was not until she saw a tall and slender figure rushing towards her that she regained her spirits. From a distance, she smiled and winked at him, "Your Majesty~"
"You guys should step back first."
After Duotu entered the room, he dismissed the servants who were serving her, walked up to her and took out the brocade box.
He also specially ordered a dress, which was just as exquisite and gorgeous as the previous one.
Sang Luo changed into the dress in front of him. It fit her well and the fabric was very comfortable.
Duotu must have specifically instructed to remove the waist corset so that it won't squeeze the belly.
My two-month-old belly is a little round, and a corset can cover it a little. Although this is more comfortable, it also makes my pregnancy more obvious.
"Will this... cause others to laugh at you?" Sang Luo frowned.
Throughout the dynasties, has it ever been said that a partner ceremony was held only after a woman was pregnant?
"Let's see who dares to laugh. Forget about your head!" Duotu half-knelt on the ground and gently put on her shoes.
According to the ceremonies in previous years, Sang Luo should have worn elegant high-heeled shoes with gold-thread hollow beads, making herself look like a gift for a formal ceremony. It was beautiful, but also too harsh.
Duotu was afraid that the shoes she wore were uncomfortable and could easily cause her to sprain her ankle, so he specifically asked the Ministry of Rites to replace them with a pair of more comfortable flat-soled brocade shoes with totem patterns outlined in gold thread, which looked noble and elegant.
She swung her feet, looked down and smiled, "Your Majesty is like an unreasonable tyrant."
Duotu stood up, looked at her smiling face, reached out and gently stroked her fair and rosy face, and said absentmindedly, "Luoluo, you are so beautiful today!"
She dropped her veil and placed her hand in his broad, slender palm, "Your Majesty, let's go." The wedding ceremony was grand.
It was more grand than Sang Luo had imagined.
With countless orcs as witnesses, petals flew from the sky, Duotu lifted the veil on her face and put on the crown. His hands were shaking uncontrollably.
Sang Luo took the initiative to hug him and stood on tiptoe to give him a kiss.
The excited revelry in the auditorium was deafening, one wave after another, and it was only after a long time that the night gradually fell.
As the queen, Sang Luo naturally had to drink and chat with the nobles who came to the banquet. She was tired after a day of work, so she took off her gorgeous clothes in the middle of the night and lay on the bed, not wanting to move at all.
Not long after, Duotu also came back.
He changed out of the noble and gorgeous clothes he wore during the day, put on a soft silk casual dress, and walked to the bed.
Sang Luo was half asleep when someone hugged her waist from behind.
The man's aura enveloped and engulfed her entire body.
Dotu's hot and broad chest almost melted her.
Sang Luo woke up and whispered softly, "Your Majesty..."
Duotu buried his head in her neck and shoulders, greedily sniffing her body fragrance. From the first time he met her, he liked her smell very much. Now there was a faint milky fragrance on her body, which made him instinctively feel at ease, dependent, and excited.
His breath fell on her neck and behind her ears, causing waves of shivers.
He nuzzled her face and lowered his head for a kiss.
She tilted her head slightly to avoid it. "That...child, the witch doctor said it's still early. Don't overwork yourself during this period."
"I haven't been close to you for a long time... Soothe it." He said in a hoarse voice, took her hand and went down.
Her fingertips suddenly shrank, her face flushed slightly, and she said tiredly, "Your Majesty, I'm tired. Let's rest first."
Duotu didn't dare to have any other thoughts anymore. He just hugged her and didn't do anything else.
Sang Luo was not asleep yet, but he fell asleep quickly.
She tilted her head to look at the man who was sleeping in the same bed with her.
He held her in one hand and gently embraced her belly with the other hand. He slept peacefully, as if he had let down all his defenses.
He wants a happy family of his own.
……
Since this incident, the relationship between the two seemed to have eased a lot silently. Duotu would always bring Sang Luo with him when attending important ceremonies. The two were basically inseparable and inseparable these days. When outsiders saw them, they all praised the harmony between the emperor and the empress.
Sang Luo also followed Duotu and got to know several ministers. He had a very good relationship with the noble wives of the ministers. They would have a leisurely afternoon tea together on weekdays and he also heard a lot of interesting stories from them.
I heard that Duotu has been rooting out traitors these days.
After the old Beast King's unexpected death, power in the court changed secretly. His position was not stable after he ascended the throne, and he was eager to take back the power of the noble princes bit by bit and stabilize politics.
But what we remove are just the small fish and shrimp on the surface. The real big guys are still hiding in the dark, and no one knows when they will rush up and bite us back.
Sang Luo is quite confident in Duotu's methods and style. His strategy and talent are better than his father, Egali Alans.
If he really can't keep this position, then he can forget about raising children.
Sang Luo no longer paid attention to the affairs of the previous dynasty, but was more concerned about the situation of her own child.
She had thought that with the experience of the first two pregnancies, this pregnancy would be much easier, but in fact, this pregnancy was no easier than before. She even suspected that she was going to eat up the treasury of the Alans family.
Duotu looked at her growing belly and couldn't stop feeling happy.
Sang Luo said, "Your Majesty, this baby's talent will probably be a pleasant surprise. You must prepare food and don't let my mother and I go hungry."
"Okay, those guys from the previous dynasty hid a lot of good stuff, just wait, I'll get them all for you."
"Confiscation of property? The ministers and nobles will be chilled to hear you say." She winked playfully.
"Those people are not honest either, but don't worry, Luoluo. I will clean them all up."
Duotu looked at her affectionately and said, "I will give you and the child the best that I can give."
"..." An uncontrollable ripple arose in Sang Luo's heart, but it was quickly suppressed.
She stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, opened it, and a cool breeze poured in.
He looked up at the overcast sky, stretched out his hand, and a tiny piece of snow fell into his palm and quickly melted.
Sang Luo said excitedly, "Your Majesty, it's snowing."
"Is this your first time seeing the snowy season in the Western Continent?" Duotu came over and put a ferret cloak on her, wrapping her up tightly. "Don't get caught in the wind or you'll catch a cold."
"I guess so. I used to live in a border tribe. It snowed a lot in the cold season. The snow was half a meter thick. I couldn't go out. I could only stay in the house and wait for others to come back from hunting and bring me food."
"You were in the previous tribe..." Duotu spoke quickly, obviously wanting to ask something, but the words reached his throat and he swallowed the second half of the sentence, rubbing her head, "You suffered."
"I have been in the tribe for more than ten years. Your Majesty, don't you want to know what my life was like before? Don't you want to know if there were other people around me?"
Duotu knew that she came from an unknown small tribe in the border Rubel Forest, but he never asked her about her past. He probably knew the answer in his heart, so he chose to keep silent.
"I don't care about your past. As long as you are willing to be with me now, that's enough."
The Alans Empire entered a cold season lasting several months.
Quan Xiu left the Western Continent overnight.
Duotu watched her more closely these days. Except for going to court, he kept her by his side almost every moment, never leaving!
Sang Luo said to him, "Your Majesty, do you remember what I said last time? Caesar is not my first male. He may not be as important to me as you think. Now that he is dead, there is no need for you to be on guard against him like a thief."
"...Your first mate wasn't him? Then who was it? Did you have other mates in that tribe before?"
"Yeah." Sang Luo stared at him closely.
A hint of jealousy flashed across Duotu's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He said gently, "Luoluo, I don't care. Do you want to take him over? He's still in the Koldo tribe, right? I'll send someone..."
"The Koldo tribe was invaded by a tide of beasts and has long been reduced to ruins. Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about anything else. Now, I really only have you." Her smile faded.
Duotu hugged her, kissed her on the face, and whispered, "...I, that's not what I meant. If you take him over, you won't worry about him anymore. I just want you to worry about me alone."
"That won't work."
"Luoluo!" He looked nervous.
Sang Luo touched her belly and smiled, "There is also our child. Your Majesty has to worry about someone else besides me."
