The Empress Dowager knew that the two of them were inseparable and fooling around every day after their marriage.

It was all good news before, and now they're expecting a child so soon?

But that won't work now.

Young people, don't know your limits, what if you hurt the child?

Ji Wangshu's face stiffened upon hearing this. "Mother, Yaoyao is already my wife. How can we not sleep in the same bed?"

The reason why the Empress Dowager had them sleep in separate beds before was because Yao Yao had grown up, and they were not yet married.

now……

"Now that Yao Yao is pregnant, she needs to sleep quietly by herself." The Empress Dowager glanced at him. "You're too crowded in bed."

"..."

Xi Yao almost burst out laughing, but stopped Ji Wangshu from retorting with a look.

After the Empress Dowager left, Ji Wangshu sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her with a deep gaze. "Yaoyao, do you also want to sleep in a separate bed from me? I won't allow it."

Is he the kind of person who can't control himself?

He's endured all these years, how could he do something that would hurt the child?

"I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself." Xi Yao looked back at him with a mournful expression. "Brother, you're so alluring that I often lose control."

"!"

Ji Wangshu was startled, her ears began to turn red, gradually spreading to her fair cheeks, and she was speechless for a long time.

This...this...

So Yao Yao is also so attracted to his body?

"cough."

Ji Wangshu coughed lightly, her clenched fist near her mouth, her long eyelashes trembling.

"Yao, Yao Yao, if you... if you want to, I... I'll secretly ask the imperial physician when you can..."

"Hahaha!"

Seeing him so shy that he stammered, Xi Yao couldn't help but laugh. She slapped her thighs with both hands, almost laughing until tears streamed down her face.

"Brother, haha, don't worry, hahaha, I can hold it in too." She wiped her eyes and continued, "No need to ask the imperial physician, it will be fine in three months."

Actually, with the pregnancy-preserving pills in hand, it won't affect anything at any time.

Ji Wangshu: "..."

He silently turned and left.

Just when Xi Yao thought he was shy and emo, he came back.

He was carrying food prepared by the imperial kitchen, as well as plums that Lanxiang had brought in from outside the palace using her light-footed skills.

"Yaoyao, eat two plums to calm your stomach first, then eat something else. We should rest now."

Xi Yao took the plum and put it in her mouth; it was a little sour.

Her gaze remained fixed on the person in front of her.

This man was so gentle with her, she loved him so much.

By the time I was finally ready to go to sleep, it was already very late.

Ji Wangshu took off the outer garment he had hastily put on earlier, and before he even got into bed, Qingzhu's voice came from the doorway:

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager requests that you rest in a side hall so as not to disturb the Empress."

As Qingzhu said this, her heart pounded, fearing that the Emperor might kill her if he got angry.

Don't be fooled by His Majesty's usual mild temper with the Empress; he's actually cold and aloof to everyone else, and no one dares to disobey him.

Ji Wangshu, who was lifting the blanket, paused, her face quickly darkening.

He never expected that his mother would have someone watching over him, and that he hadn't left even at this late hour.

"His Majesty?"

Seeing that no one came out, Qingzhu mustered her courage and called out again.

"roll!"

A voice filled with suppressed anger came from behind him. Qingzhu's legs trembled, and she knelt down with a thud, not daring to speak, but also not daring to leave.

"Yao Yao." Ji Wangshu pursed her lips, her eyebrows drooping, her disappointment clearly visible.

How could he possibly sleep alone?

Seeing his aggrieved look, Xi Yao felt a surge of pity.

She knelt up, hugged Ji Wangshu, and touched his lips to his mouth. "It's alright, it's alright. You go out and pretend to go next door. I'll leave the window open for you."

She used to climb through the window all the time, but now someone else is doing it.

Ji Wangshu took the opportunity to kiss him a couple more times, but she was very restrained.

"Okay, Yao Yao, wait for me."

After saying that, he helped the person lie down to sleep before turning around and leaving.

Qingzhu, kneeling at the door, was covered in cold sweat. Just when she thought she was going to die here tonight, the door opened.

Ji Wangshu glanced coldly at the person on the ground, left the words "You can leave now," and went to the side hall next door.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qingzhu's body went limp. She raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead before getting up and leaving.

After a while, when Ji Wangshu returned to the bedchamber, Xi Yao was already asleep.

He simply smiled slightly, then tiptoed onto the bed.

As soon as I lay down, the person next to me automatically rolled into my arms.

Ji Wangshu smiled and, holding the person in her arms, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

╭ (╯ ^ ╰) ╮

When Xi Yao was five months pregnant, Li Shumo successfully entered the top three in the imperial examination.

Then came the engagement banquet between the Ye and Li families.

This is the third time that Xi Yao has served as a witness for the Ye and Li families, but this time her role is different.

"elder sister."

Li Shumo greeted him happily.

The sixteen-year-old boy's smile shone with a bright light that made the surrounding scenery seem three parts dimmer.

"You're engaged today, and you're a grown man now." Xi Yao patted his shoulder and handed him the congratulatory gift. "You must treat Mingyi well and be a responsible and dependable man."

"I will, sister."

Li Shumo carried the sandalwood box in one hand and helped Xi Yao walk towards the door with the other.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress."

The two families waiting at the entrance of the Ye residence knelt down to welcome him.

"Get up, everyone."

A group of people accompanied Xi Yao into the Duke's mansion.

It was the same familiar process, but everyone's smiles were more genuine than they were eleven years ago.

After the ceremony, under Zhou Qianya's worried and disapproving gaze, Ye Mingyi took Xiyao back to his courtyard, wanting to have a private conversation.

Now that their status is different, the Duke's mansion is clearly much more cautious.

Of course, Ye Mingyi hasn't changed; she's still just as lively and carefree.

"Your Majesty, your belly looks very big."

She noticed that other women who were five months pregnant didn't have such big bellies.

Could it be that the child has gained weight?

Ye Mingyi looked worried when she heard that it would be difficult to give birth when the child was too big.

"It's okay, I'm having twins." Xi Yao rested her chin on her hand, her dignified expression from outside fading as she became more relaxed.

"twin?!"

Ye Mingyi sat up straight, her eyes wide open.

"Um."

In the royal family of the Great Wei Dynasty, there was no such thing as twins being unlucky.

Moreover, since Xi Yao chose fraternal twins, the children will not look exactly alike, and it will not affect who will inherit the throne in the future.

Over the course of so many worlds, she discovered that her children all had a very good relationship, as good as if they were one person.

Even if there were a legitimate succession to the throne, they never fought over it.

Xi Yao attributes this to the good genes she and her husband have, which is why their children are also well-behaved.

"Twins! My God, Your Majesty, you are amazing!"

Ye Mingyi stared in surprise at her stomach, looking in different directions.

"This is the first time I've ever seen someone pregnant with twins, it's amazing."

Xi Yao patted her belly. "Nothing magical about it. Tell me, you got engaged today, how does it feel?"
