The couple had almost thought that the child would be fine. It was only recently that they realized that the other child had already begun to speak at such a young age.
Only her own son, whose lips had been tightly pursed until now, had never spat out a single word. Luo Qingqi could already guess the hidden sentence that Qingluo had just said.
It was probably because he wanted to say that he didn't know whether his son was really healthy or not. He was truly worried that Luo Qingqi would get into trouble again.
So, Qingluo said, 'I hope you can take care of your son and come back well.' These words made Luo Qingqi's heart sour to the point that it couldn't stop.
Luo Qingqi also knew that it wasn't because of his son that Qingluo didn't want to part with him. It was precisely because she couldn't bear to part with him that she took her son out to make him be more careful.
"Qingluo, don't worry. Really, I will love myself like I love you, and treat myself like my son. So, I will definitely come back alive and well. You just have to raise my son at home, and when my son calls me father, I will come back."
Qing Luo suddenly longed for her son to open his mouth and speak. Perhaps, after her son called her father, the prince would stay behind, "If only your son can call you father now, then you can stay at home and not go to the border."
Of course, this was in the words of a child, but Luo Qingqi could understand how Qingluo was feeling right now. Ever since the two of them got married, they had never truly separated.
Even when Qingluo was in the early stages of her pregnancy, she was busy with matters of rebellion in the palace and did not often return home. However, both of them knew that the distance between the two of them was very small.
If he thought about Qingluo, he could at least spare some time to return home and pay a visit. However, this time, going to the Fringe was different. Even if he thought about it, he couldn't see his wife and children once.
"Qingluo, don't be like this. If you are going to act like this, I won't even be able to move a step." Luo Qingqi got up from the stool and walked in front of Qingluo. He held both of her hands, then bent down and rubbed her lips.
Luo Qingqi's kisses became even hotter. Although the maidservants had already left, since it was not time for dinner yet, Qingluo did not dare do such a shameful thing. She quickly used his hands to push his groin, telling him to let his go.
This time, Luo Qingqi did not listen to Qingluo's words. Instead, he half knelt down, one hand holding Qingluo's waist and the other holding the back of her neck, pressing this kiss even closer.
Qingluo even felt a sense of invasion, as if her stomach was about to be swallowed. However, because of this feeling, she relaxed her struggle.
She wanted so much to swallow herself up and take her away to that place in her imagination that was beyond her reach.
"Qingluo, I can't bear to part with you. I can't bear to part with your son." Luo Qingqi let go of Qingluo's lips. Because the kiss was too intense, Qingluo's lips slightly swelled up.
There was a silver thread at the corner of his lips that was connected to his lips. Because his lips had been separated, the silver thread had slowly lengthened, thinned, and then broken.
In that moment, Luo Qingqi felt as if his heart was about to split apart. He never knew that separation was like this, a type of heartache that he couldn't touch or rub, yet he was in so much pain that he was about to break into pieces.
"Qingluo, what should we do? I really won't be able to move a single step." Luo Qingqi simply kneeled on the ground and buried his face in Qingluo's chest, using his hands to hug her tightly.
"Foolish prince, how is this something that we can decide? You just have to remember, you have to protect yourself and safely return to the capital. This is our greatest wish, we won't ask for your help, we just want you to be safe and sound."
She wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know how. She could only use her body to give him warmth.
"Qingluo, give it to me, I want to be closer to you." Luo Qingqi replied softly, making Qingluo's heart soften to the point that it was like a spring rain in the third month. What a cruel heart that must be.
Without hearing a reply, Luo Qingqi stood up and wrapped Qingluo's arms around his neck. Then, he hugged Qingluo and walked to the bedside.
"Qingluo, you will miss me, right?" He put Qingluo on the bed and stretched out his hand to pick at the belt on her skirt. Then, he let out a long sigh.
"I'll miss you, I'll miss you a lot. I miss you so much that you're like my heart, which can carry you anywhere, but you're clearly my heart, and because you're not here, I'll lose my breath. And yet, I can't take you away, I can't make you move along with my breathing."
Luo Qingqi untied Qingluo's buckles one by one. Qingluo's eyes that were tightly closed because of shyness, had also opened because of his words. When they met with Luo Qingqi's eyes, there was a thick layer of mist that seemed to be about to drip down. In that moment, something had sprouted in Qingluo's heart.
Qingluo also raised her hand and helped Luo Qingqi undo his belt, causing Luo Qingqi to immediately stop moving. He quickly took off her clothes, and then the curtains on the bed drooped down.
Afterwards, all that was left was a room brimming with spring. The dainty voices within the tent moaned and panted rapidly, causing the room's spring to turn into a blazing summer sun, burning the entire room's spring light like fire.
Mo Liu had already brought in the food box, but she was stopped by Mo Li in the outer room. Mo Li made a slight gesture, and the girls all moved towards the door of the outer room.
Mo Fu had already heard the news that the King was going to war from Luo San. When she brought the news to these few people, everyone became silent.
Everyone understood that it was a great honor to fight for a country, but once it happened to one's own family, the honor would become less dazzling. Separations and life and death were the most important things.
Before the child's one-year celebration had even begun, Luo Qingqi had already started his journey with the five thousand soldiers from the capital. Along the way, there were still troops being transferred over from all over the place.
It was clear how serious the situation was at the border this time around. However, he did not dare to tell Qingluo the truth, and could only tell her that a small group of homeless people were invading the border.
Qingluo probably wouldn't believe it, but she couldn't ask too much. One, she wouldn't tell him the truth. The other, if she told him the truth, how would she settle her heart?
When the children were full, there were even more people in the capital than he thought. The Emperor specially sent the steward of the Internal Affairs Bureau to help the Prince Yi's Mansion receive the guests.
Although Qingluo had already prepared the items for Zhou, the Emperor still gave her many gifts, such as the crystal abacus, 100 years old ancient books, the seal of the Black Jade Sentinel, and the short blade from ancient times. In short, the Emperor had bestowed the most upon her.
But Qingluo didn't feel too proud. She only thought, if Qingxu could be good at home, then he would be able to see her grab his favorite seal and dagger, which could also be regarded as a round wish.
Actually, Qingluo hoped that her child would be able to catch that ancient book and stop using the blade to make a spear. The biggest present she got when she was a year old was the title bestowed to her son by the Emperor — — Luo Huayu followed the Emperor's son and used the name of their Head of Department, who brought the sun with him.
Qingluo also liked the word 'Yu' very much. It represented light. She hoped that her son would be bright himself, and also that he would be like the sunlight, illuminating even more people.
However, after Hua Yu was over ten days old, Qing Luo suddenly threw up, which frightened everyone in the mansion. By this time, Lin Qing had already left the residence, so Mo Li could only take the Prince Yi's Mansion King's plate to the palace to seek the imperial physician. In the end, Qing Luo was extremely happy, because she was pregnant again.
When her husband had just left the battlefield, he had already gotten the news that she was pregnant. Qingluo didn't know if she should be sad or happy. As she caressed her belly, for the first time, she felt at a loss.
Even when she was pregnant with Yu Er the first time, although she clearly knew that it was possible that Yu Er was in the wrong, she did not feel that it would be difficult for her.
Last time, although it was a bit difficult for her to carry him, Qing Yin had always been by her side. But now, not only was her husband far from her, he didn't even know that she was pregnant.
Let alone the main room, even in the entire Prince Yi's Mansion, Qingluo felt that everything was empty. She never thought that there would be a day when she would feel lonely.
In a gentle village, there was always a time when one was less resolute, less persistent, and less thinking about things. It was probably because after marrying into the Prince Yi's Mansion, his life had become too comfortable, and he could no longer bear even the slightest bit of hardship and suffering.
Qing Luo leaned on her cheeks, imagining what would happen if Luo Qingqi found out that she was pregnant. Suddenly, she understood, that person would definitely be pleasantly surprised.
If he was here, he would hug himself tightly in excitement. Then, he would regret his recklessness. Carefully, he carried himself to the bed and stared at himself in excitement, instructing him to take care of the baby.
He had raised Yu Er up, and had even given birth to him. When he came back, he would be surprised to see two healthy and healthy children, and that's right, exactly like this, and he would give Yu Er a huge surprise, to make him very happy.
