When Liu Mingzhi woke up the next day, the sky outside the room was already about three degrees above sea level.
Liu Mingzhi yawned and shook his groggy head. He first stretched out his hand to rub the aching back of his head, and then took stock of the surrounding environment.
Looking at the familiar layout in Chen Jie's boudoir, Liu Mingzhi finally remembered why he appeared here.
His eyes finally settled on He Shu, who was sleeping undressed and breathing evenly on the back side of the bed. Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and gently pushed the beauty's shoulder.
"Shu'er, wake up?"
He Shu opened his sleepy eyes and looked at Liu Mingzhi in confusion, who was leaning over to look at him. Then he realized that he sat up straight with his hands on the pillow and looked at Young Master Liu happily.
"Husband, you finally woke up? How do you feel now? Do you have a headache? Is there anything uncomfortable?"
As soon as He Shu woke up, he asked Liu Mingzhi several questions one after another, and the worry in his words was clear.
Young Master Liu looked at He Shu staring at his nervous pretty face, and smiled slightly as he turned his sore neck a few times.
"Shu'er, don't worry, except for a few minor problems that anyone would have after a hangover, there are no other problems with my husband.
Just put your heart in your belly and you will be fine as a husband after today."
He Shu stood up and knelt down in front of Liu Mingzhi in disbelief. He raised his hands and pulled Mr. Liu's body and inspected it carefully before letting out a breath of relief.
"It's okay to know that you have a headache and feel uncomfortable. Do you dare to drink so much again in the future?
You were so drunk yesterday that I and my sister were so worried that they barely managed to fall asleep until late at night.
I'm still half asleep serving you, not daring to leave."
"Really? Then did your sister Jie'er take advantage of her husband being drunk and unable to resist, and did something bad to him that he liked better?"
He Shu looked at Young Master Liu's playful eyes and his face turned red, and he glared angrily at his sweetheart who had been talking so much since he woke up.
"Shameless, can't you be more serious? You drink like a dead pig, what bad things can my sister do to you?
Besides, don’t you know if that bad thing is still useful when you’re drunk? You just know it’s nonsense!”
Young Master Liu looked at the angry He Shu and licked his ears angrily. He smiled sarcastically and leaned towards He Shu's abdomen.
"My husband is wrong, my husband is wrong. My husband is so happy when he knows that you are pregnant, Shu'er, so he drinks too much for a while!"
I promise, husband, that I will never be so greedy again. Come on, let’s hear how our little baby is doing.”
"De Xing, I've only been pregnant for a little over a month. What can you tell if there's something wrong with you?"
Although He Shu was speaking with fierce words, his phoenix eyes gently held Liu Mingzhi's head and pressed it towards his lower abdomen.
"How's it going? What did you hear? Is the baby in my belly scolding you?
I scold you as a father who has no integrity at all and is just like a local gangster."
Young Master Liu raised his head and glanced at He Shu and said excitedly: "I heard it, I really heard it."
He Shu's pretty face was startled, and she lowered her head in astonishment and looked at Young Master Liu who looked excited.
"Really...really heard it? What did you hear? I have only been pregnant for more than a month. Don't scare me!"
"I heard your stomach growling. After my husband got drunk yesterday, you two sisters probably didn't have time to eat properly, right?"
When He Shu heard that his answer was wrong, he glared at Young Master Liu who had a playful look on his face. He grabbed Young Master Liu's ears with his slender jade fingers and twisted them hard.
"Smelly scoundrel, are you trying to scare me to death?"
"Hey hey hey, don't get excited, don't get excited, my husband is just playing a joke on you, it's just a joke."
"Are you joking like this? With your serious look, I really thought there was something wrong with my stomach!
If you scare me like this again, I will ignore you."
He Shu said complaining words in his mouth, but he held Liu Mingzhi's head with his hands and pressed it on his round and strong legs. He pressed his hands on Liu Mingzhi's temples and kneaded them gently.
"Stop moving, I'm going to massage your acupuncture points."
Liu Mingzhi smiled silently, turned over and changed into a comfortable position, nestled in He Shu's arms, and let the beauty's fingers rub his forehead.
"By the way, where is Jie'er?"
"Sister is going to prepare hangover soup for you. According to the time, it should be ready soon.
I’ll give you a massage first, and you should feel much better after drinking the hangover soup prepared by my sister.”
"Thank you sisters for your hard work. My husband just drank too much. There is no need for you two to be so nervous."
"Who are you worried about, you bastard? Aren't I afraid that the child in your belly will have no father after birth? If it hadn't been like this, I would have ordered my servants to throw you on the street and ignore you."
"real or fake?"
"Of course it's true. Let's see if you dare to bully me in the future."
Liu Mingzhi sat up and kissed He Shuying lightly on the lips before lying down again: "Well, Shu'er, do you like your husband to bully you?"
"Be honest, I just woke up and haven't washed up yet, so you're not afraid of getting smoked."
"Don't be afraid! The sweetness tastes great."
"Virtue, the older you get, the less upright you become. Do you still think that you are the same as an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy?"
You are thirty-nine years old this year, and you have reached the age where you should call yourself an old man when you meet young people outside. You can't be so unstable in the future.
You are the king of a country, and your behavior represents the face of the country. If the people see you like this, I wonder what kind of rumors will spread!"
"I know, I know, a husband is just like this in front of you. Being a husband in front of outsiders is more serious than anyone else."
"I heard the two of you talking all the way away. From the sound of your angry voice, husband, it seems that there won't be much of a problem after the hangover."
While Young Master Liu and He Shu were talking, Chen Jie's teasing words came from outside the door.
As soon as Chen Jie finished speaking, her figure happened to appear in the boudoir. She placed the tray on the table. Chen Jie slowly walked behind the screen and shook her head helplessly as she looked at the two people who were so intimately together.
"It's already sunny outside, so you two can't afford to stay in bed."
He Shu listened to his sister's teasing words and gently hit Liu Mingzhi on the shoulder. He turned towards the edge of the bed, put on his embroidered shoes, walked to the changing rack and started to wash up.
"The fact that my sister wakes up so late is not the fault of this big bad guy like her husband. If it weren't for her, why would my sister not go to bed until late at night?"
Liu Mingzhi immediately got out of bed and stretched himself to the main room. He didn't care that he hadn't washed up yet and just picked up the hangover soup sent by Chen Jie and drank it in big gulps.
"The maid will bring the food soon. You two will fill your stomachs later."
"Jie'er is so considerate!"
"Sorry to trouble you, sister."
The three of them, Liu Mingzhi, chatted and laughed as they ate the breakfast brought by the maid, and then chatted about interesting things for a long time.
"Jie'er, Shu'er, it's getting late. My husband must go back first."
"Okay, husband, you haven't returned home all night, please go back early to report that your sisters are safe."
"Be careful on the road."
"I understand. You didn't get a good rest last night while taking care of me. You should go get some sleep. My husband is leaving first."
As soon as Young Master Liu returned to Liu Mansion, he informed Qi Yun and the other sisters that He Shu was pregnant.
After Qi Yun and others found out about this, they all expressed their intention to ask Liu Mingzhi to take He Shu to live in his house, so that it would be easier to take care of her daily life.
Liu Mingzhi thought for a moment and handed the matter to Qi Yun to handle. It was more appropriate for her, the eldest wife, to come forward than to do it herself.
Three days later, Qi Yun and the three princesses and sisters told Young Master Liu with helpless expressions that He Shu had refused to move to Liu Mansion.
Liu Mingzhi, who knew the result, was not surprised, because he had mentioned to Chen Jie and the others more than once that they should move to the Liu Mansion.
They were rejected by He Shu and the others every time.
He Shu's refusal this time was also within his expectations.
After some discussion, Liu Mingzhi followed Qi Yun's suggestion and privately spent a lot of money to arrange for three famous doctors to stay in Li Jingyao's Princess Mansion Branch Hospital in case of emergency.
From then on, Liu Dashao changed his habit of going to the Gua stall after he went to court. He went to Princess Yunchang's Mansion to visit He Shu every three days.
These busy and leisurely days lasted until early August.
After the beginning of August, not only the Liu Mansion became busy, but also the entire imperial court became busy.
The source of the busyness is that the wedding of Liu Chengzhi and Li Jingyao is approaching.
