Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

"Hmm?" He Lan Ting's face flushed, his waist and abdomen slightly bent, it was obvious that he was ready to go. But after hearing what Lin Xi said, he stopped what he was doing, panting slightly, and looked at Lin Xi with a pair of eyes full of lust in confusion.

Lin Xi's body softened when she saw him like that, and she almost surrendered. But when she thought of the little baby in her belly, and recalled the meaningful advice given by the old doctor before he left, that she should not make any big movements before the fetus was three months old, her face couldn't help but turn red, and she gently pulled He Lanting's big hand to her lower abdomen, and whispered.

"This baby in my belly is so delicate. The palace doctor said that it won't be able to survive these days..."

He Lanting was trying to pull himself out of the tide of emotions. He didn't understand the meaning of Lin Xi's words for a while. Seeing Lin Xi pulling his hand and hearing the word "house doctor", he quickly held his breath and asked with concern: "Do you feel uncomfortable in your stomach? What did the house doctor say?"

Seeing his concerned look, Lin Xi was somewhat touched and amused. She didn't want to beat around the bush and said simply, "What did the court doctor say? The court doctor said you were going to be a father."

"Ah?!" He Lanting finally heard it clearly, but the news came too suddenly. He couldn't believe it for a moment. He only uttered a short syllable, and then he finally reacted and said in disbelief, "Really?"

"What's there to fake about this? Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, just forget it." This was Lin Xi's first pregnancy. She was already worried about the system pretending to be dead, and the man in front of her looked stupid. She immediately got angry and turned away, not wanting to look at him anymore.

"Good Xixi, it's all your husband's fault. Don't get angry with yourself. I was just too happy and a little silly for a moment." He Lanting saw Lin Xi with her back to him, so he climbed onto the bed quietly and carefully held her in his arms. His warm hands gently stroked Lin Xi's belly, and he kissed Lin Xi on the forehead before asking, "Are you feeling unwell now? I heard that pregnancy is the hardest for women. What does the palace doctor say?"

Lin Xi wasn't really angry, and after being coaxed by his gentle words, she naturally wouldn't deliberately make trouble. She leaned in He Lanting's arms and said softly, "I'm not feeling unwell. The palace doctor said that the baby is still young, and we can't tell anything now, but it should be very healthy."

"That's good. How big is it?" Hearing that she was fine, He Lanting felt relieved and started to care about the little baby in her belly.

"It's been more than two months."

Now that the Lantern Festival has just passed, He Lanting secretly calculated that she might have gotten pregnant at the end of last year. Thinking of the nights when they were together, his ears couldn't help but turn red again. But he immediately realized that if she got pregnant at that time, then Lin Xi would have been pregnant and in such a dangerous situation on the day of the palace coup. If he hadn't arrived in time that day, wouldn't Lin Xi be...

Lin Xi felt He Lanting tighten his arms around her. She looked up in confusion, but saw a look of shame and annoyance on his face. She couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong?"

He Lanting lowered his eyelashes, his eyes full of pity and guilt, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's all my fault that I'm useless. I put you in danger that day."

Lin Xi finally understood what this always arrogant man was feeling guilty about. She reached out to smooth his frowning brows with a bit of heartache and a bit of amusement, and said softly, "Who said you are useless? The prince's stunning arrow that day was magnificent and extraordinary. Thinking about it now makes my heart surge, and I wish I could give myself to him."

He Lanting was distracted by her witty words, and the depression on his face was swept away. He hugged her in his arms and kissed her again and again, and also cooperated with her acting: "Don't hate her, the prince was fascinated by the lady's stunning beauty and has already offered himself to her."

The two chatted and laughed for a while before falling asleep in each other's arms.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Lin Xi was about to give birth. At that time, He Lanting was teaching the new emperor how to play chess in Taiji Palace. In just a few months, he had been promoted from the lowest position of attendant secretary to the second-in-command position of Palace Affairs. Of course, this was due to his family background, but more importantly, he was really loved by the new emperor.

When the new emperor was a prince, he was not liked by Emperor Hui at all. Therefore, although he was smart and clever, he had a cowardly character. After the palace coup, he was appointed to take charge of the situation and suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention from obscurity. Now he is still young, and most of the affairs of state are discussed by Princess Hexin and several ministers who were entrusted with the care of the young emperor. They have not been handed over to him, but he must pick up the lessons and kingly tactics that he fell behind when he was unpopular in the past.

However, most of the old tutors were disappointed with the new emperor and wanted to teach him everything at once. Therefore, they were particularly strict and made the new emperor hate studying. Later, Duke Anguo could not stand it anymore and recommended his son Helan Ting to the young emperor. Helan Ting was handsome and knowledgeable in astronomy and geography. He did not treat the new emperor harshly like the old tutors did. Instead, he was patient and persuasive, and soon turned the new emperor into his own little fan. The new emperor not only invited him to lecture from time to time, but also promoted him to his current position despite the opposition of ministers.

When the palace maid came to report, He Lanting was about to place a chess piece, but he was so shocked by the news that his hand trembled, and the chess piece slipped from his fingertips. It was rare for the new emperor to see this usually calm and upright teacher lose his composure like this. When he heard that his wife, whom he always talked about, was about to give birth, he waved his hand and acted like an adult, asking He Lanting to go back quickly.

Helan Ting thanked him and hurried out of the palace. Without waiting for Heng Zhi who was following him breathlessly, he jumped on his horse and rushed home quickly.

When he arrived at Cangfeng Courtyard, a group of people had already gathered outside the delivery room. He hurriedly bowed to the Xie family and the others, then strode towards the delivery room. The maids and old women wanted to stop him, but he waved them away and let them rush in.

"This..." Yu was a little surprised. She looked at Xie beside her and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Forget it, these men should at least see how we women risk our lives to give birth to their children, so that they will cherish the people beside them more." Xie was very calm. She never believed those words that it was unlucky for a man to enter the delivery room. If it was really unlucky, then wouldn't all the men born in the delivery room be unlucky? It would be better for such unlucky people to kill themselves early to avoid involving their families.

In the delivery room, He Lanting rushed into the inner room. He didn't hear Lin Xi's voice, but he smelled a strong smell of blood. His feet went weak and he hurriedly walked towards the bed, saying in a trembling voice, "Xixi!"

The maids and midwives who were busy were startled by his shout. They turned around and looked at the pale and shaky He Lanting. They were about to salute, but He Lanting waved his hand to stop them: "How is the young lady?"

The midwife hurriedly said, "The young lady is giving birth, and there is nothing serious. The blood in the delivery room is heavy, so the prince should stay away for a while."

Lin Xi's voice also came from behind the curtain, "Lan Ting."

He Lanting took two steps forward, and the maids and old women made room for him. Only then could he see Lin Xi's appearance clearly. Her clothes were disheveled, her hair was slightly wet, and although her face was a little pale, there was light in her eyes, and she seemed to be in good spirits.

He was relieved and was about to take two steps forward, but was stopped by the midwife, "My Lord, you have come back exhausted from all the travel, and you must be a little dirty. Women should be clean during childbirth, you should go out.

He Lanting was successfully persuaded by her words and quickly stepped back a few steps, standing in a corner where he would not get in the way. "Thank you for your concern, Madam. I will stay here to accompany Xixi. Please continue."

The midwife had no choice but to turn around and continue delivering Lin Xi's baby. Fortunately, Lin Xi had always been in good health and there was no problem with the fetus. However, half an hour later, the loud cry of a baby resounded throughout the Cangfeng Courtyard.

"Congratulations, my prince, on the birth of your baby boy!" The midwife joyfully handed the cleaned and wrapped baby to He Lanting. He Lanting only took a quick glance at the baby, then moved his stiff legs and rushed to Lin Xi's bed. Seeing that she looked peaceful and her breathing was steady, he finally felt relieved.

……

At the full moon banquet, Lin Xi held Xuetuanzi in her arms and looked at the nervous man beside her. She couldn't help but laugh, "Who are you showing off to by being so cautious? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

He Lanting said as if it was a matter of course, "What's so funny about this? It's only natural for me to protect my wife and children."

Lin Xi smiled secretly. After this month, she finally figured it out. No matter if the system would suddenly go crazy and take her away, she just needed to live her present life well. After all, as a sickly person who was going to die early, every extra day she lived was a hard-earned gift.

But Lin Xi didn't expect that this day would come so late. It was not until she was old and gray, with many children and grandchildren, that the system, which had not appeared for a long time, suddenly popped up and told her that the reason she could stay in this world for so long was because this time in the process of changing the fate of the second male lead, she also saved countless lives. In the original plot, the story ends with the reborn heroine supporting Concubine Cen's child to sit on the throne, and she traveled around the world with Huan Chen.

But after Concubine Cen's son ascended the throne, the Cen family became even more outrageous because they had a support and committed countless crimes. Concubine Cen was not a person who knew how to educate children, which led to the prince doing nothing after ascending the throne except eating, drinking, having fun, and abusing palace maids. The entire Jin Dynasty fell into a precarious situation because of such an emperor, and was eventually opened by foreign races. The entire country was littered with corpses and nine out of ten houses were empty.

And now, because of Lin Xi's intervention, it was King Yue who finally ascended the throne. King Yue became a wise ruler under the training of many old ministers and Helan Ting. Today, the world is at peace, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, and millions of people have avoided the fate of the country being destroyed and themselves dying. Therefore, as a reward, Lin Xi can live a stable life in this peaceful and prosperous era.

"Host, are you ready? I am about to start extracting your consciousness."

Lin Xi turned her head with difficulty to look at He Lanting, who was also gray-haired and lying beside her, and slowly closed her eyes and said, "Yeah."
