Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

"The Shaoyin pulse is very strong and smooth under the fingers, like beads rolling on a plate. It is a happy pulse. Madam, you are very happy. You have been pregnant for more than two months." In Cangfeng Courtyard, the gray-haired old doctor had a happy expression on his face and excitedly congratulated Lin Xi who was lying on the couch.

Before Lin Xi could react, Xue Yun, who was standing at the side, cried out in surprise, "Doctor Li, are you serious?"

The old doctor was used to such scenes, and he did not feel offended by being questioned about his medical skills. His wrinkled face was full of a kind smile, and he said to Xueyun, "Although I cannot be called a master in the medical field, I am still somewhat sure that this woman is pregnant. The pulse of the young lady is like a round bead, flowing smoothly, which is a sign of a stable pregnancy. However, the pregnancy is still young. If you do not believe me, you can ask other doctors in the mansion to come and diagnose her pulse after three months."

Xueyun also knew that she had spoken rashly, and hurriedly apologized with a smile, "I spoke out of turn! Everyone knows that among all the doctors in the mansion, you are the most respected and skilled in medicine. I was just too happy for a moment, so I yelled. I hope you won't hold it against me."

Lin Xi, who finally came back to her senses from her trance, also chimed in, "Please don't blame me, Doctor Li. This girl is always concerned about my health, and today she was in a hurry. I apologize to you on her behalf."

Doctor Li was not angry at first, but now seeing the master and servant being so polite, he felt embarrassed. He hurriedly said "no, no", and gave detailed instructions on how to walk, sit and lie down, and eat according to the diet during pregnancy. Then he stood up and said goodbye. Lin Xi hurriedly signaled Xue Yun to see him out. Xue Yun took out a thick purse and came back to talk to Lin Xi with an excited look on her face.

"Girl, we are going to have a little girl or a little boy!" Xueyun's face was full of joy and her tone was excited.

Lin Xi was a little stunned. She touched her belly gently, unable to believe that there was already a little life inside. In many small worlds in the past, although she had had sexual intercourse with the second male lead of those worlds, most of the time she did not wait until she became pregnant because her mission was already completed.

The moment the task is completed, the system will forcibly extract her consciousness, and then leave a copy with her own memories to continue to maintain the small world from collapsing. Regardless of whether Lin Xi is attached to that world or not, the strong feelings will gradually fade away after her consciousness is extracted. Therefore, Lin Xi became numb later, and when she heard that the system deviation value of the second male lead reached 100%, she would take the initiative to choose to leave immediately.

But no one knew what was going on this time. He Lanting's fate had obviously been completely changed after the palace coup, but the fate deviation value had been stuck at 99% and there had been no movement. Moreover, she had called the system many times but had received no response. Now she was pregnant. Could it be that the system had finally been kind enough to let her die of old age and live out her life?

But based on her experience of having been with the system in so many worlds, although this system is like an artificial idiot most of the time, it is unusually dedicated in squeezing time to complete tasks as quickly as possible, just like a capitalist. This time, she didn't know if there was any malfunction, and she had been in this world for half a month without any movement.

"What's wrong with the girl? She doesn't look very happy." Xue Yun was very excited. She began to imagine what kind of clothes she would sew for the little girl or boy after he was born. However, she saw that her girl looked worried and was in a daze.

"How could I not be happy? I was just too surprised and couldn't come to my senses for a moment." Lin Xi pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled.

But Xueyun had grown up with her since she was a child, so she could tell that her smile was forced. The smile on her face faded, and she sat next to Lin Xi and put her head on her shoulder. "Although I don't know what the young lady is worried about, I will always be with her."

Lin Xi felt a little warm in her heart, and she relaxed her body and let herself lean on Xue Yun's shoulder. Although her emotions would fade after being pulled out of each small world, she would still be deeply moved every time she met someone who gave her warmth and care unconditionally.

……

It was late at night when Helan Ting was relieved from his duties at the Palace Administration Office. On that day, there was a palace coup and Emperor Hui was poisoned by an incurable poison. On his deathbed, he ordered the crown prince and the empress to commit suicide and not allow them to enter the imperial mausoleum. He then made Prince Yue, who was only seven years old, the new emperor and appointed Duke Anguo and several old ministers to assist him before he spat out a mouthful of black blood and died suddenly.

When Prince Yue ascended the throne, he generously rewarded the Duke of Anguo and his son, and General Huan Chen, who had escorted the emperor to the throne. He Lanting entered the Palace Administration Department. Although he could only start as a low-ranking attendant secretary in order to avoid suspicion with the Duke of Anguo, at least he got rid of the situation of having only the empty title of Crown Prince but no real power. In the later period of Emperor Hui's reign, he favored the Cen family and was obsessed with Taoism, so he indulged in state affairs, which accumulated many problems for the new dynasty. Now is a critical period for reconstruction, so during this period of time, the He father and son often left in the dew and returned under the moonlight.

After quickly finishing his meal and washing up, He Lanting dried off the moisture on his body in front of the charcoal fire, then entered the inner room. He saw Lin Xi, who was wearing a light crimson silk nightgown. She was lying lazily on the bed, seemingly in a trance, and did not notice He Lanting coming in at all.

He Lanting shook his head in amusement, tiptoed to the bed, and blocked the candlelight on Lin Xi's eyelids with his hands. Lin Xi then raised her head in surprise and saw He Lanting's handsome face with a smile on his face.

"What are you thinking about? You were so absent-minded that you probably didn't even notice a thief came in." He Lanting smiled and scratched her nose.

"Which thief is so handsome? I am so happy to see him. My husband hasn't been home for a long time. Why don't you just obey me, and we can be a pair of lovebirds." Lin Xi was startled by him. Then she saw that he was wearing a moon-white nightgown hanging loosely on his shoulders, revealing his well-proportioned and delicate chest like jade. What a seductive man. The silly words in the script she read a few days ago came out of her mouth.

He Lanting originally wanted to tease Lin Xi, but he never expected that Lin Xi would outwit him. Hearing the teasing tone in her words, his face immediately turned red. He then remembered that he had been busy with government affairs recently and the two of them had not been close for a long time. He immediately reached out his big hands, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her deeply.

Lin Xi has been distracted since she learned the news of her pregnancy today. Sometimes she feels lucky that she can stay in this world for a few more days, and sometimes she is afraid that the system that pretends to be dead will suddenly jump out and take her away by force. She always has an unrealistic feeling of worrying about gains and losses. Now that He Lanting's warm kiss falls on her, she finally has a sense of security that she is indeed a real person. She also hugged He Lanting's neck tightly and responded to him emotionally.

Feeling the unusual initiative and enthusiasm of the person in his arms, He Lanting felt his heart surge. The hand that was originally around Lin Xi gradually became restless and moved slowly downwards. Just as he let go of the red lips that made him unable to stop and was about to untie the belt of the person under him, Lin Xi, who was so confused by his kiss, suddenly shook her head and gently held his hand.

"Not tonight."
