Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 494 The General's Daughter vs. the Deposed Crown Prince with No Heir (31)

Zhao Heng returned in the evening to have dinner with Shen Shuyi. After dinner, Shen Shuyi felt like going for a stroll, so she took Zhao Heng's hand and said, "Your Highness, it's been a long time since I've enjoyed such a leisurely and peaceful day. The moonlight is also quite nice tonight. Shall we take a walk in the garden?"

"Hmm." Zhao Heng picked up the cloak and gently tied it around her neck. He accidentally touched the curve of her body, and his eyes darkened.

"It seems to have grown quite a bit."

Shen Shuyi blushed and raised her almond-shaped eyes to give him a reproachful look.

"Let's go quickly, otherwise you'll end up on the bed again!"

Zhao Heng smiled slightly, took her hand and led her out. They sat under the swing and flower trellis in the Prince's Garden to admire the moon.

After sitting for a while, Shen Shuyi saw Zhao Heng make a gesture towards He Ya, who was guarding not far away.

He Ya accepted the order and withdrew, also instructing the nearby servants to disperse.

Shen Shuyi looked at him questioningly, "His Highness has dismissed everyone."

She deliberately moved to the side, wrapped her arms around his neck, and whispered in his ear.

"What is Your Highness trying to do?"

Her warm breath brushed against the man's ear and neck, sending a tingling sensation through his heart. His intentions weren't originally there, but she had stirred his thoughts.

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the courtyard.

The next instant, streaks of dazzling fire shot into the sky, illuminating the entire palace.

Shen Shuyi looked up and saw dazzling fireworks blooming in the sky. She looked at Zhao Heng happily and asked, "Did you set them off?"

"Mmm." Zhao Heng pulled her into his arms and sat her down. "I just wanted to give you a surprise."

Shen Shuyi noticed that Zhao Heng's gaze was more dazzling than the stars in the sky or the fireworks in the air.

“I really like it, Yanzhi. I’ll give you a surprise tomorrow too.”

"What surprise?"

Shen Shuyi chuckled, "Wait until tomorrow."

Zhao Heng cupped her face in his hands, "Then I'll ask you again after tonight."

"Time to sleep!"

"You can go to sleep after midnight."

"But there are still a long time until midnight."

"Then we can do something else with the book."

The man had barely finished speaking when he lowered his head and captured her lips with his. His lips were warm, and Shen Shuyi closed her eyes, her gaze lingering on his. She instinctively opened her mouth...
When Zhao Heng noticed her initiative, his breath hitched and his body tensed.

He had to separate the person from his lap slightly because they were still being held together.

But his little princess still had her rosy lips parted, looking at him with her almond-shaped eyes that seemed to ask why he had to stop.
At this moment, Zhao Heng was in no mood to admire the moon; he only wanted to hold her soft body and return to the canopy bed.

The man, panting heavily, pressed down on her. He was so eager; the two of them had been busy with matters in Qingzhou Prefecture for so long, and now that they were home, he could finally enjoy a passionate embrace with his beloved wife.
Shen Shuyi didn't expect him to be in such a hurry. She haphazardly loosened his belt, without even taking off his outer robe.
The curtains fell, and soon the sounds of two people breathing heavily together could be heard, their voices trembling with the strains of their breathing.
……

……

The following day, the emperor invited his court officials to the palace to attend Prince Su's victory celebration banquet. The banquet was supposed to be hosted by the empress, but because of what happened to Zhao Qiyu, the emperor changed the host to the imperial concubine, which seemed to be a way of neglecting the empress.

The Empress couldn't even worry about her son's affairs. She originally wanted to take advantage of the wedding banquet to get the Emperor to let his son attend the banquet, but she was slapped by the Emperor as soon as she finished speaking.

In addition, she was warned to behave herself.

At the banquet, the Empress glared angrily at Zhao Heng and Shen Shuyi, her eyes filled with venom. Only when her gaze swept over Shen Shuyi's flat stomach did her ferocity lessen slightly.

So be it. Even if we can't get rid of Zhao Heng, it doesn't matter. Anyway, he has no children, so no matter how many merits he makes, he can never become the crown prince again!

Shen Shuyi and Zhao Heng took their seats and, unsurprisingly, noticed the Empress's resentful gaze. However, she calmly sat down without being affected in the slightest.

The singing and dancing began, creating a lively atmosphere, but the more lively it was, the more uncomfortable the Empress felt. Zhao Heng personally served Shen Shuyi a bowl of fish soup to soothe her stomach and dispel cold, but she felt nauseous after just one sip and almost vomited.

"Shuyi, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Zhao Heng nervously supported her, and at the same time looked up, "Quickly summon the imperial physician!"

He was so concerned that he lost his mind. Shen Shuyi was already skilled in medicine, so why would she need to call a doctor?

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the hall focused their attention on Prince Su and his wife.

The imperial physician rushed over to take Shen Shuyi's pulse and inquired in detail about her recent physical condition.

At first, everyone thought that Shen Shuyi had developed an illness while providing disaster relief in Qingzhou Prefecture, but no one expected it!
"Congratulations, Your Highness, the Princess is pregnant!"

Zhao Heng met Shen Shuyi's eyes in shock, and suddenly realized that this was the surprise Shuyi had given him!

No wonder she wouldn't tell me before going to bed last night.
"Is the princess pregnant?" Zhao Heng's voice trembled.

The imperial physician said solemnly, "Your Highness, the Princess Consort is three months pregnant!"

Upon hearing this, the emperor raised his hand to signal the singing and dancing to stop, and the entire banquet fell silent.

He had nothing left to reward his eldest son, and now that he has offspring, what else does he need to worry about!
The emperor wasn't the most excited; it was Zhao Heng who was the most excited. He grasped Shen Shuyi's hands and exclaimed, "Shuyi, we're having a child!"

Shen Shuyi already knew she was pregnant, and with twins no less, but seeing Zhao Heng so agitated and out of control at this moment deeply moved her.

She squeezed his hand back, "Yes, Your Highness is going to be a father."

Just then, the emperor clapped his hands and laughed.

"Okay."

"But I want to add to the joy."

Upon hearing this, everyone focused their attention, and many already had their own guesses.

The fourth prince was imprisoned, the third prince was dull-witted and incapable of shouldering heavy responsibilities, and the seventh prince could be a general, but he had no outstanding abilities in court affairs.

At present, only Prince Su is both a scholar and a warrior, and he made many achievements in the position of Crown Prince, but he has no children, which is a major drawback.

The fact that the princess is now pregnant indicates that Prince Su's poison has been cured, and that they will have more children in the future.

"Prince Su has rendered meritorious service in disaster relief in Qingzhou Prefecture. He is hereby conferred the title of Crown Prince and will move into the Eastern Palace on an auspicious day!"

The Empress clenched her handkerchief tightly, her eyes wide with resentment, her gaze like a sharp sword that wanted to pierce through Shen Shuyi and Zhao Heng!
Prince!
Zhao Heng has actually been reinstated as crown prince!
She'd been planning this for so long, how could she possibly be willing to give up!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhao Heng walked into the hall and calmly knelt down to express his gratitude.

"Your subject obeys the order and kowtows to thank Your Majesty."

The Emperor then looked at Shen Shuyi, "Princess Shen Shuyi has rendered meritorious service in the fight against the epidemic, and is virtuous and talented. She is hereby conferred the title of Crown Princess and granted a golden seal and imperial edict!"

"Double happiness today! Let the music continue, let the dancing continue! We won't leave until we're drunk!"

The music resumed, and some in the room were happy while others were sad.

Back at Prince Su's residence.

Zhao Heng carried Shen Shuyi down from the carriage and carried her all the way back to the bedroom. Even after arriving at the bedroom, he did not let go of her and sat down in front of the low couch, holding her tightly.

Shen Shuyi wrapped her arms around his neck and saw him looking down at his lower abdomen, so she gently stroked it.

He said in a low voice, "Shuyi, were you pregnant when you were in Qingzhou Prefecture? Why didn't you tell me?"

Shen Shuyi: "If I tell you, are you going to send me back to Chang'an immediately?"

Before he could answer, she continued.

But I want to stay by your side.
