Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince-Chapter 633 - A Father [Bonus chapter]

633 A Father [Bonus chapter]

Huang Xi checked the new weapon supplies in the inventory and handed the report about it to his senior, General Li Tian, before heading to his home. However, he met Eunuch Sun Fuguo on his way.

“Good evening, Commander Huang Xi. Your Majesty wants to see you,” Sun Fuguo asserted. Huang Xi nodded to him and went to see the King.

Sun Fuguo stopped by the stairs of the pavilion in the King’s manor. Huang Xi ascended the stairs and walked up to Xiaoming, who was standing near the window.

“Your Majesty, I am here,” Huang Xi said and bowed.

Xiaoming turned around and smiled to see Huang Xi. “How are you doing these days?” He asked.

“I am well, Your Majesty,” Huang Xi replied and lifted his head to look at Xiaoming.

“Huang Xi, I will come straight to the point. Princess Ai Fen is of marriageable age. When we had gone to Xinjiang province you told me you were interested in Princess Ai Fen,” Xiaoming stated.

Huang Xi understood where that conversation would lead and he decided to clear Xiaoming before that happened. “Your Majesty, I do not like Princess Ai Fen anymore.”

Xiaoming was bewildered to hear him.

.....

“I had confessed my feelings to Princess Ai Fen and got rejected. I request His Majesty to look for another suitable groom for Princess Ai Fen,” Huang Xi said while keeping his tone humble.

Xiaoming was startled to hear that and apologized to Huang Xi.

“His Majesty should not apologize,” Huang Xi said with a smile. “His Majesty was not aware of this.” He sounded low after that.

Xiaoming could not speak for a few seconds.

“Huang Xi, I do not know why that happened, but I know you will get a better person in your life,” Xiaoming said.

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Huang Xi bowed to him and left.

“I should have confirmed with him first instead of directly asking him,” Xiaoming mumbled. He was confused thinking why Ai Fen refused the feelings of a man like Huang Xi.

He looked ahead and saw Jin Yu at the top of the stairs. She had a wide smile on her lips and her entire face was glowing.

Xiaoming with amusement looked in her direction and took a step forward. Jin Yu took a few steps before she ran toward him, and hugged Xiaoming, thus taking him by a surprise.

Xiaoming placed one hand on her back while the other on the back of her head. “You look happier today,” he said.

“Because it is an occasion to be happy,” Jin Yu stated.

“What do you mean?” Xiaoming inquired her.

Jin Yu leaned her head back and peered into his eyes. “Your Majesty, make a guess,” she said.

Xiaoming thought for a few seconds. “I am unable to. Why doesn’t the Queen tell me?” He asked.

Jin Yu twitched her lips. “The King cannot even make a simple guess. Does he not love me?” She arched her eyebrows.

“There can be hundreds of reasons behind your happiness, my Queen. If I guess wrong, then the Queen will say I do not love her. She should tell me,” Xiaoming asserted and moved his hand to the front. He brushed her hair back to her ear.

“What does the King want the most at this age? I gave His Majesty a hint. He should answer me,” Jin Yu stated.

“I want...” Xiaoming paused to think.

“Aish. Xiaoming, you are so dumb,” Jin Yu got angry at him. “Can you not even make a simple guess?” She muttered.

“Eh? How can I make a guess when the hint is too complex?” Xiaoming inquired.

“Is it complex? It was so simple,” Jin Yu murmured.

“Tell me. What is it? You are making me nervous now,” Mingquan said.

“Your Majesty will be a father soon,” Jin Yu replied.

“What?” Xiaoming exclaimed.

“We are going to be mother and father soon, Xiaoming,” Jin Yu said again with a wide smile on her lips.

Xiaoming started laughing and tears of happiness formed in his eyes. He cupped Jin Yu’s face and kissed her before saying, “Indeed, I am dumb that I couldn’t make a guess. Thank you, Jin Yu. You gave me the best moment to be happy. I will be a father.” Xiaoming hugged Jin Yu and then carried her in his arms.

Jin Yu, for a second, was shocked by his sudden act and he twirled in a circle. Jin Yu locked her hands tightly around his nape. He stopped and kissed her again and again.

“Will His Majesty put me down?” Jin Yu asked him.

Xiaoming immediately put her down and steadied her. “Where are your servants? Why did you come to tell me this good news by yourself? You are supposed to be accompanied by your servants at this time. Also, you won’t run around too much. Let’s have an examination from the Physician Peng,” Xiaoming asserted.

“When you were in the imperial court my examination was done. I asked everyone not to tell you since I wanted to give this news by myself,” Jin Yu said with a smile.

“I will conceive our first child soon, Your Majesty. I am so happy about it, Xiaoming. When Physician Peng told me that I am pregnant, I started crying. This is such a beautiful feeling,” she said.

Xiaoming nodded at her. “I can understand. It is the best feeling in the world,” he said and he planted a soft kiss on the middle of her forehead.

He placed his hand on her shoulder and said, “We should head to your chamber. I need to give special instructions to everyone, and you need to take a good rest too.”

“We need to think about the name too. From now on, things will change. I will give my maximum attention to my wife. Don’t worry. I won’t neglect the kingdom either,” Xiaoming asserted and asked her to be careful on the stairs. The first few months were crucial for Jin Yu and he needed to be extremely careful regarding her safety.

Sun Fuguo and the other servants followed them to the manor.
