Chapter 1551: Chapter 1558: Marriage Alliance (2)
Xiao Zhi Fu lowered her head and said, “Reporting to the Emperor, the Empress is sleeping on the couch inside!”
Nangong Yi heard this and entered the Eastern Room’s bedroom. He instructed the attendants inside, “All of you, leave now. Without my command, no one is to co in.”
ng Huaian and the others quietly retreated, while Nangong Yi stepped into the tent. Inside the tent, it was completely empty—not even a shadow of a person. He softly called out, “Madam, co out!”
In Space, Cai Wei, who was soaking in the bath, heard the man’s voice and muttered, “Troubleso!”
At that mont, she was stark naked and soggy, entirely unprepared to step out. So she called back, “Collect!” and brought her man into Space.
Nangong Yi was already very familiar with Space—not just familiar, but reliant on it.
Nowadays, he took daily baths, practiced martial arts, and reviewed morials in Space; even the food and water he consud ca entirely from Space. Unfortunately, Space did not produce cotton or silk fabric; otherwise, even his clothes would be sourced from there.
He found the hot spring, shed his clothes, and stepped into the warm waters, sitting on the heated jade stone steps. Then, he pulled Cai Wei into his lap. Though the hot spring was small, it was more than enough to accommodate the two of them.
“What’s wrong?”
Noticing the man’s troubled expression, Cai Wei raised her hand and tenderly traced his handso brows and eyes, silently soothing him.
Nangong Yi spoke plainly, “It’s about Zhao Yue. She took it upon herself to write a letter to Helan Qi, expressing her willingness to marry him. Now the letter has already reached Helan Qi’s hands, aning I have no choice but to grant the marriage!”
Cai Wei laughed and said, “Why make such a big deal out of a re letter? If you don’t want Zhao Yue to marry him, that’s easy to fix. I’ll send Brother Ying and Chang i; they’ll have that letter back within seven days!”
Hearing her words, the man showed no trace of joy; instead, he said heavily, “Forget it. Since she insists on marrying, let her marry. There’s a saying: ‘You can’t hold onto a grown daughter; keep her too long, and it turns to resentnt.’ I don’t want the day she cuts her hair to be the day she hates and Imperial Mother for a lifeti. She’s not a child anymore; it’s ti she bears responsibility for her own life and decisions.”
Nangong Yu’s matters were rarely addressed by Cai Wei. Since Nangong Yi chose to let go this ti, Cai Wei was not inclined to intervene either. As Nangong Yi had said, she was no longer a child. She should take responsibility for her choices in life. If marrying Helan Qi was her decision, then no matter what happened in the future, she should bear the consequences of that decision.
Knowing that he was feeling down, Cai Wei deliberately tried to cheer him up. She lowered her head, gently caressing her rounded stomach, and said, “Babies, when you grow up, you must listen to your Imperial Father. Don’t make him upset, okay?”
As if the little ones inside her belly heard her, no sooner had Cai Wei finished speaking than two small bumps appeared on her stomach.
Cai Wei exclaid in astonishnt, “Yi, look! The children heard —they’re responding, they’re moving!”
Nangong Yi quickly turned his gaze to Cai Wei’s round and protruding belly, where he indeed saw tiny handprints from their children. The peculiar sensation imdiately dispelled his earlier gloom. His focus shifted entirely to Cai Wei’s belly.
“Sons, I am your imperial father!”
Nangong Yi gently pressed the two small handprints, entirely oblivious to how tender his voice had beco—as if it could drip with water.
Seeing the man love children so deeply, Cai Wei couldn’t help but feel delighted. She had never imagined Nangong Yi would be so fond of children. In her impression, the n of this world weren’t very fond of children. Perhaps her man was an exception…
