The maid at the door was confused after hearing this. She turned back mechanically and opened her mouth: "The father of the child...?"
"Shu Wang, I'm back."
The next moment, Bai Song saw the haggard Li Shuwang.
The two hugged each other and cried, and Bai Song couldn't control himself.
Among these women who couldn't let go, only Shu Wang was the one who went through life and death with him and supported each other.
Bai Song fought hard to get this woman back. Regardless of the effort he put in or the emotion he put into her, she had an irreplaceable place in Bai Song's heart.
With Xiang'er, with the princess, or with Qing'er...
Bai Song's feelings were logical and followed the trend.
Shu Wang was the only one in his heart that he wanted to possess the most and couldn't let go of. Bai Song didn't know whether he loved Shu Wang more, but he was definitely the one in his heart that couldn't let go.
From the moment he risked his life on the grassland to rescue Shu Wang, he regarded this woman as his personal property.
The selfishness in Bai Song's bones would never allow him to do risky things for the sake of others.
Shu Wang was the first exception, so much so that Bai Song himself was moved by his greatness.
Therefore, this woman must be his own.
Bai Song did not shed tears when he saw Xiang'er and Sang Sang, but was surrounded by deep warmth. Although he knew that they had suffered a lot and felt sad, Bai Song held it back.
When he saw Shu Wang, saw her haggard and pale face, and saw her walking quickly toward him with her bulging belly, Bai Song couldn't hold back anymore.
A man who has lived two lives is worthless and sheds tears for a woman.
The little maid on the side knew it. She hadn't seen the young lady so excited in half a year.
Seeing the two hugging each other, the little maid's eyes became wet, and she pursed her lips and tried not to make any sound.
Bai Song knew that pregnant women generally gain weight.
But Shu Wang lost weight, very obviously.
Bai Song felt inexplicably heartbroken. Thinking of everything Shu Wang might have encountered in the past six months, he felt even more guilty: "I'm sorry for making you suffer."
"Not for you, but also for my children, I am willing to do it."
With tears streaming down his face, Shu Wang looked at Bai Song, with some hatred in his eyes, but more of love.
After saying that, he bit Bai Song's lower lip passionately.
Shu Wang didn't care about anything, even if there was a little maid watching.
After having a child, any restrictions of etiquette and laws no longer matter. If she wants to have a child, is she still afraid of others' criticism?
A few minutes later, Bai Song occupied Shu Wang's bed like a child, resting his head on Shu Wang's legs and his bulging belly, listening carefully to every move inside.
Shu Wang wanted to caress his own child, so he touched Bai Song's face gently. Seeing the blood on his mouth, he felt a little regretful.
"Does it hurt?"
Bai Song didn't hear it and narrowed his eyes in enjoyment, as if he was going to sleep.
"Asking you!"
"ah?"
Seeing this man's heartless look, Shu Wang helplessly shook his head, a little annoyed, but his heart was already filled with love.
The two of them sat on the bed and talked for a long time.
Bai Song told Shu Wang that their marriage was decided by the emperor, and her grandfather had already relented. He came to the house from the main entrance and got Li Jing's permission to see her.
Bai Song also expressed his worries. There is a prerequisite for their marriage, which is that they must pass the top three exams.
In this regard, Bai Song has been uneasy, feeling that things may change.
But Shu Wang had confidence in Bai Song. She recited Bai Song's poems one by one like a family treasure, and her loving eyes gradually turned into admiration.
"The poetry of the Tang Dynasty shines brightly because of you, and you will always be my number one scholar."
Bai Song felt a little guilty, those were not his achievements: "Then which one do you like best?"
"Why fear the East China Sea for ginger soup?"
Bai Song became energetic and immediately sat up, holding Shu Wang's hand: "Do you like this song?"
"Um."
"Why?"
"It's most like you."
Shu Wang's words greatly stimulated Bai Song.
For a moment, he was full of strength, because in Shu Wang's heart, the real Bai Song Dynasty had surpassed the illusory Su Shi.
"Shu Wang, just wait for me! Don't talk about being in the top three, I will definitely get the top score and come back to marry you!"
Shu Wang smiled sweetly and touched his belly: "I can wait, but he can't wait anymore."
Upon hearing this, Bai Song took a deep breath.
Yes, the baby will be born in two months.
At that time, the Spring Festival had just ended. It took a month for the Spring Examination to be released, and three months after the announcement was the Palace Examination.
There are still more than four months until the end of the imperial examination, not to mention the time it takes to plan a wedding.
Before the formal marriage, the child must be born first.
In modern times, this is not a big problem.
After all, there will be too many examples of marriages involving sons and daughters in the future.
But it was different in the Tang Dynasty. Having children before marriage was an absolute taboo.
Shu Wang was able to survive until now because of Shu Wang's determination and the doting of everyone in the Li family, otherwise Bai Song would never have seen such a peaceful scene.
The child in Shu Wang's belly was a fire that could ignite at any time, and everyone around him used a thin layer of window paper to make a film.
How long can a fire be contained?
No one knows.
It can be wrapped now, but what about after the child is born?
Shu Wang saw Bai Song's worries. Compared with Bai Song, Shu Wang thought relatively simply. She said: "I can stay at home for half a year or a year. When our child is born, I will
Take good care of it, you don’t have to worry about it.”
"Paper cannot contain fire."
"What better way is there?"
"After the child is born, you cannot leave the child with you."
"How is that possible?" Shu Wang's expression changed and he frowned.
"Listen to me, just be cautious in everything. Your belly can be hidden in the house from outsiders. But after the birth of the child, people outside will more or less feel some changes in the house, such as the child's
Crying and the like. In my opinion, when the child is born, I will take it home first, with Xiang'er and the princess taking care of it. Even if someone discovers it, it can be said to be..."
At this point, Bai Song realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly shut up.
Sure enough, Shu Wang's face turned cold, he pushed Bai Song away, and said in a low voice: "Just listen to me, I don't care. If the world can't tolerate my mother and son, at worst, I will live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and never care about worldly affairs."
"I...I didn't mean that..."
"Stop talking, no one can take the child away from me, not even the child's father!"
Seeing Shu Wang's eyes, Bai Song knew that nothing he could say would be of any use.
What was supposed to be a warm atmosphere became unhappy because of the child's problems.
Bai Song thought for a moment, then shamelessly went to hold Shu Wang's hand again: "Okay, okay, don't talk about this, the child is yours, you can do whatever you want."
Shu Wang said nothing, feeling aggrieved and wanting to cry.
He then heard Bai Song say: "I'll take your pulse. From tomorrow on, my husband will take care of all my wife's food and drink. I'll see how thin you are..."
"If I don't have anything in my family, who would want you to take care of it?"
"It's different. Don't forget your husband-in-law's profession. Now is a critical period. Not only do you need to replenish your wife's health, but you also need to replenish your children. Even for the sake of your children, you must follow my requirements.
