Chapter 318 The Road to Beloved Queen 54
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
Just as the princes and princesses were admiring the triplets, the eunuch's voice was heard outside the door.
After just a few breaths, a man in a bright yellow dragon robe walked in from outside, looking dignified and imposing.
"Your Highness, may your Highness live long and happily."
The princes and princesses knelt down to pay their respects, and the palace maids followed suit.
Before Sheng Huan finished her gesture of standing up, the man's strong arm reached out to her, gently pushed her to sit down, and then sat down beside her. His movements were so natural, as if he had done it many times before.
"Get up." His voice sounded, calm as always, yet with a hint of dignity.
"Thank you, Father Emperor."
The princes and princesses stood up.
"Little Ten is still energetic now, and more lively than your ninth brother and fifth sister." When Kangxi spoke, he had already taken the Tenth Prince's swaddling clothes and held him.
"Ah!" The Tenth Prince responded vigorously and even looked like he was laughing.
Sheng Huan also smiled, leaning against Kangxi, and hooked the Tenth Prince's hand with his fingertips: "Does our Tenth Prince also know that your Royal Father is here?"
"Hmm." The Tenth Prince had an innocent and confused look on his face.
"Our Xiao Shi is so cute." Sheng Huan raised the corners of his lips.
"Yes." Kangxi lowered his head and whispered to his wife, "She is as cute as our Panshu."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Huan gently pushed his arm. When she noticed that the princes and princesses around her were looking at her, she twisted the soft flesh on the man's waist.
The voice was very low, almost like a breath: "What are you talking about, Third Brother? The children are here."
"Okay, I won't say anymore." Kangxi nodded. The usually noble man actually looked like he was begging for mercy. He rubbed the woman lightly with his arm: "I was wrong." But he would dare to do it again next time.
Knowing that she was shy, the man cast his sharp eyes over all the princes and princesses around him.
Is he the boss or are they the boss? Don't you know how to bow your head? How dare you look!
When Kangxi looked at them, all the princes and princesses lowered their heads.
But all of them couldn't help but feel the turmoil in their hearts. This was the first time they had directly seen the Emperor and Empress interacting with each other. So, was this how the Emperor and Empress interacted?
They had never seen such ease and comfort before.
Moreover, would the Emperor also bow his head? With such a noble status and such inviolable majesty, why did he only show tenderness to the Empress Dowager?
Just like an ordinary husband, an ordinary father.
The prince was very close, and when he lowered his head, his peripheral vision unconsciously fell on the emperor and empress sitting above him.
When the Empress Dowager leaned against the Emperor, her movements were very natural, and the Emperor's father was obviously very used to it, or he really enjoyed the Empress Dowager's closeness.
When the Empress Dowager approached the Emperor, she was not cautious and was very casual.
At this moment, the prince understood clearly that the Empress Dowager was indeed more than just the Queen, she was also in the heart of the Emperor.
"Hahaha!"
When the prince was distracted, he didn't know what happened at the top, but he heard Kangxi's hearty laughter and the woman's smile.
"The banquet is about to begin, let's go."
When the group stood up, the prince noticed with his sharp eyes that the emperor and empress in front of him, under their loose yellow clothes, were holding hands... together.
The prince was in a trance and shocked, so much so that at the banquet, he kept looking vaguely towards the emperor and empress sitting above him. He felt a little complicated as he saw their actions which were obviously very ordinary, but with a certain sweetness in them.
Here, Kangxi didn't know that the prince was watching him.
He poured a pot of hot milk and approached his wife: "You just came out of confinement, so you shouldn't drink alcohol yet. Drink some milk first to warm your stomach, otherwise you will have a stomachache and it will be uncomfortable."
As he spoke, the man used his other big hand to gently rub her lower abdomen, massaging it in a very proper manner.
Sheng Huan accepted his kindness, picked up a piece of chicken with chopsticks and put it on his plate, then smiled at him: "Third brother, this is delicious."
As she spoke, her other hand pressed on the man's big hand on her lower abdomen.
She approached the man and whispered, "Third brother, the prince and the others are watching us."
When Kangxi heard this, he looked down. As soon as he looked down, everyone became obedient.
He turned back to her and said, “No one is watching.”
She whispered back: "Then eat quickly, Third Brother, don't starve. You only had a few snacks this morning."
"Okay, I'll eat it right away." Kangxi laughed, enjoying his wife's care. He withdrew his hand and tasted the meat she picked for him.
As soon as he took a bite, he said to her: "Panshu has good taste, it is indeed delicious."
"If it tastes good, eat more." She tried to hold it in, but couldn't help her smile at his funny look, and a smile appeared in her serious eyes.
When Kangxi looked at her like this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the meat in his mouth suddenly lost its taste. Pan Shu was pregnant, and he had been a vegetarian for so long. The soup and water he usually had with Pan Shu was not as exciting as the real sex.
Tonight, he should be able to eat real meat.
Thinking of that, his smile seemed to change, becoming a little aggressive, and his eyes became dangerous. He was clearly eating the piece of meat at the moment, looking elegant, but that look, that smile, when he looked at her, seemed as if he was eating her, with inexplicable lust.
"Be serious." They have been married for almost a year, so she could understand his expression. Her eyes flashed with lust and turned red in an instant. Her slender white hands immediately pinched his arm.
However, she tried her best to look inviolable, showing the queen's majesty.
The man looked at her with amusement, and didn't seem to feel any pain. The corners of his lips curved upwards: "Pan Shu, do you think I'm being indecent right now?"
"Hmm?" Just a "hmm" in a coquettish way.
There is no sign of seriousness written on his body. It's obvious that he is full of the word "not serious".
Sheng Huan increased the strength in his hands and smiled: "Well, Third Brother is the most serious, isn't he?"
The pain came from his arm. The woman's threat was obvious, but the man smiled more and more. Pan Shu was so cute. He nodded and said, "Yes."
Not far away, the Empress Dowager, who was relatively close, was aroused by the affection, but she said nothing. After all, today was the triplets' wedding day, and she also wanted to see if the Emperor and the Empress could continue to be so affectionate. One or two years should be the maximum.
Although she thought so, she felt a little disappointed in her heart. She seemed to have only seen the emperor's vivid appearance a few times when he was a child, and never saw it again after that.
Kangxi had no idea what the Empress Dowager was thinking. That night, he undoubtedly stayed in Jingren Palace again and called for water several times.
Whether it is serious or not can only be clearly seen in bed.
-
Time flies like a white horse, and in a blink of an eye, four years have passed.
It was June of the 27th year of Kangxi's reign. There was a huge argument in the court over Kangxi's plan to personally lead an expedition against Galdan. Although the argument lasted for several days, the final result was beyond doubt as no one could defeat Kangxi.
Jingren Palace.
Sheng Huan was not surprised when he heard the news. Even if Kangxi went to war two years earlier, he was reborn after all, and he was very sensitive to those things and more confident.
"Empress Dowager, is the Emperor really going to go on a personal expedition?"
The fifth princess Jing Lin nestled in Sheng Huan's arms, her little hands pulling at the tassels hanging from her mother's bun.
The Ninth and Tenth Princes were originally sitting on the couch playing, but upon hearing this, they paused for a moment and ran over pretending to be curious and worried.
"Empress Dowager, is the Emperor really going to go?"
Seeing their worried faces, Sheng Huan directly hugged them in his arms and comforted them without any emotion: "Your Royal Father must have thought carefully about the decision."
"As a family, we just need to support him."
