The Crown Princess is busy fishing

After several tough battles, the reputation of the Daqian Navy spread like wildfire throughout the entire southeastern sea area.

Pirates from all walks of life were terrified at the mere mention of his name.

As soon as they saw the fluttering banner of the Great Qian Dynasty, they would scatter like birds and beasts, daring not to commit the slightest offense.

That day, the fleet stopped at a small island.

Lin Yuge was captivated by the clear, azure seawater, which resembled a giant sapphire.

I've been longing to swim in the sea for so long.

She excitedly pulled Xiao Yunqing along and said:

"Yunqing, I really miss the feeling of swimming freely in the sea. Let's go for a spin in the sea."

Looking into his wife's expectant eyes, Xiao Yunqing thought about how her swimming ability had always been outstanding.

She also thought that she must be exhausted from being so busy with all the affairs of the fleet these days.

Having finally found some free time, I couldn't bear to go against her wishes, so I nodded slightly.

"Okay, I'll go with you, just don't swim too far."

As they spoke, the two walked hand in hand to a quiet, shallow beach.

Xiao Yunqing accompanied her as she stepped into the water, the seawater gently caressing her ankles, bringing a touch of coolness.

Lin Yuge seemed to be instantly ignited with energy, her eyebrows curving into smiles, her laughter clear and crisp:

"Yunqing, look underwater, there might be plenty of delicious seafood hidden there. Let me catch a big one for you."

After speaking, she moved with agility, like an elegant and nimble mermaid, gracefully darting between the blue waves.

In no time, he had several plump crabs and lively shrimp and shellfish in his hands.

Her face glowed even more with the satisfaction of her harvest.

Lin Yuge was in the middle of playing and threw his catch into Xiao Yunqing's arms before diving down again.

But when she dived back into the water, something unexpected happened.

Lin Yuge, who could usually breathe freely in the water, suddenly felt a strong sense of suffocation wash over him like a tidal wave.

It felt like a heavy stone was pressing on my chest, making me feel extremely suffocated.

Fortunately, the discomfort came and went quickly.

She calmed herself down and assumed that she had swum too fast.

Not paying much attention, they continued swimming forward.

However, just moments later, a sudden, overwhelming wave of dizziness struck.

The seawater in front of me instantly blurred into a chaotic mess, and my limbs felt weak and powerless.

Before she could even struggle, everything went black, and she completely lost consciousness.

Xiao Yunqing waited leisurely on the shallows for her to return with a full catch.

But as he waited and waited, she never showed up again, and a sense of foreboding and panic suddenly welled up in his heart.

Without thinking it through, he held his breath and swam with all his might, his eyes anxiously searching for Lin Yuge's figure.

After swimming for a while, I suddenly noticed something floating faintly on the surface of the sea not far away.

His heart tightened, and he quickly swam over with all his might.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that Lin Yuge's eyes were closed, her face was ashen, and she was floating lifelessly on the water.

Her body seemed to be enveloped in a strange, almost transparent halo.

The halo acted like a mysterious shield, eerily keeping the seawater out.

Xiao Yunqing stared in astonishment, but she had no time to investigate the cause of this bizarre phenomenon.

He quickly reached out his arm, carefully pulled her slender body into his arms, and swam with all his might toward the shore.

After getting ashore, Xiao Yunqing completely ignored the fact that she was soaking wet and in a sorry state.

Without even bothering to calm his rapid breathing, he hurriedly and gently laid Lin Yuge flat on the beach.

His hands trembled as he pressed against her chest, again and again, calling out her name repeatedly:

"Yuge, wake up! Don't scare me!"

Seeing that she had no reaction.

He quickly moved closer, pinched her nose, and breathed into her mouth. Large beads of sweat mixed with seawater rolled down her forehead.

Xiao Yunqing's eyes were filled with fear and despair, as if the whole world had collapsed at this moment.

As if an eternity had passed, Lin Yuge coughed up a mouthful of water and slowly woke up.

Xiao Yunqing breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had survived a disaster, and slumped to the side, tightly embracing her in his arms, his arms trembling slightly from the lingering fear.

After Lin Yuge recovered from her shock, Xiao Yunqing was still shaken.

Without saying a word, he quickly picked her up and strode towards the boat.

As soon as they boarded the ship, they found a military doctor.

The military doctor took the pulse for a long time.

Xiao Yunqing stood to the side, pacing anxiously back and forth.

Suddenly, the military doctor's expression changed.

His previously solemn expression instantly transformed into one of delight, and he rose, cupped his hands in greeting, and smiled:

"Congratulations, Your Highness! Your Highness's wife is pregnant!"

Perhaps she had a miscarriage while in the water, and coupled with exhaustion, she fainted.

You must be very careful from now on, and never act so rashly again.

Xiao Yunqing stood there, stunned, unable to come to her senses for a moment.

My anxiety instantly turned into immense joy and bewilderment.

He slowly knelt down, tightly grasped Lin Yuge's hand, his eyes slightly moist, and his voice trembling with emotion:

"Yuge, we're having a child..."

Lin Yuge was both surprised and delighted. She gently touched her lower abdomen with her hand, her eyes filled with tenderness and longing.

The good news was like a ray of warm light, instantly dispelling the previous gloom.

But Xiao Yunqing quickly calmed down.

Although the mission has been successfully completed, the return journey should not be underestimated.

Besides, my wife is pregnant now, so everything must be done with her and the baby's safety in mind.

He immediately summoned all his generals and envoys and solemnly announced the return voyage.

Everyone was overjoyed and agreed repeatedly, busily preparing for their return voyage.

After that, Xiao Yunqing seemed to have become a completely different person.

The heroic spirit of conquering battlefields and roaming the world has quietly given way to a touch of caution and anxiety.

The entire fleet was overjoyed by this unexpected good news.

The soldiers walked much more quietly on patrol, afraid of disturbing the Crown Princess.

The sailors wiped the ship's planks with extra care, secretly praying for a smooth voyage so that their little master could be born safely.

As the journey home began, Xiao Yunqing practically became Lin Yuge's constant companion.

During the day, whenever Lin Yuge got up to move around, he would follow her step by step.

One hand was always resting loosely on her waist, ready to help her up at any time.

If Lin Yuge wanted to lean on the railing and gaze at the sea view.

Xiao Yunqing would definitely check the railings carefully several times to make sure there was no risk of them being loose.

The nights were even more chaotic, with Lin Yuge only occasionally turning over or coughing lightly.

Xiao Yunqing woke up instantly, and only after confirming that everything was alright could she close her eyes again.

Yet they remained vigilant, tensing up at the slightest disturbance.

All the tasks to be done on Lin Yu's singing boat, except for chart corrections.

She was no longer allowed to handle anything on the merchant ship; everything was left to Xie Huaiyuan and the ship's manager.

At first, Lin Yuge felt sweet and carefree, but as time went on, she inevitably felt a little stifled.

Lin Yuge finally couldn't hold back any longer.

On a sunny afternoon, she pulled Xiao Yunqing to sit down, her expression a mixture of helplessness and coquettishness:

"Yunqing, I know you only have me and the child in your heart, but being with me every step of the way like this is really suffocating me."

Xiao Yunqing looked completely bewildered and said urgently:

"But where did I fall short?"

You absolutely mustn't get hurt or bumped; I'll be so worried.
