nChapter 36: Let Him Be Your Legitimate Son

nLong Xiaoyuan directly left the Yushui Palace for the Qiankun Palace…

nHe hadn’t had breakfast, so he was very hungry…

n

n

nBack at the Qiankun Palace, he asked if Shi Qingzhou had breakfast and got a reply “no”, so he planned to wait for Shi Qingzhou and eat breakfast together with Shi.

nAfter one hour, when he almost lost his patience, Shi Qingzhou came back.

n“Qingzhou!” He immediately came over and held Shi’s hands, neglecting that Shi’s hands were colder than before and that Shi Qingzhou paused for a while when he wanted to hold Shi’s hands.

n“You back? You must be hungry?”

n

n

nShi Qingzhou winked and said, “Your Majesty, haven’t you had breakfast?”

n“Of course, I haven’t. I’m waiting for you,” said Long Xiaoyuan naturally and then asked breakfast to be served.

nSubsequently, Long Xiaoyuan pulled Shi Qingzhou and sat on the chairs.

n“How about the Yushui Palace, Qingzhou?” asked Long Xiaoyuan.

n

n

nShi Qingzhou fixed his eyes on Long Xiaoyuan and said, “It remains to be seen whether you’re the father until the baby is born and taken a blood test…I’ve locked the palace maid up, but Your Majesty, you can rest assured that she is caged in the side room of Yushui Palace. She will be treated well before giving birth to the baby.”

nNot until now did Long Xiaoyuan find that though Shi Qingzhou didn’t kneel, Shi Qingzhou talked to him in an estranged manner.

n“Qingzhou…are you angry?” Long Xiaoyuan was at a loss.

nShi Qingzhou said with a smile, “How is that possible? If it’s your kid, I’ll congratulate you, so why would I get mad…”

nLong Xiaoyuan pursed his lips and said while holding Shi’s hands, “Is the unborn baby seven months old?”

n“Yes, it is.”

n

n

n“We’ve been together for three months,” said Long Xiaoyuan firmly.

nShi Qingzhou was frozen for a moment and seemed to understand Long Xiaoyuan.

nThe latter said with his voice down, “Qingzhou, don’t be mad. It happened before, and I’m reluctant to see this. But, do you know it’ll be a good thing if the baby is a boy?”

nShi Qingzhou was stunned.

nLong Xiaoyuan continued, “Qingzhou, I want to be with you my whole life. But, you also know it’ll be troublesome if I don’t have a prince. If she gives birth to a boy who proves to be my son, I’ll let him be your legitimate son. How about this?”

nShi Qingzhou abruptly looked at Long Xiaoyuan with his expression slightly changed. “Your Majesty, do you know what you’re saying?”

n“Yes. He’ll be the only kid of us, the crown prince, and the future emperor of this country.”

nShi Qingzhou gasped with terror. “Your Majesty, you should take it seriously.”

n

n

nLong Xiaoyuan said, “How do you know I haven’t taken it seriously?”

nShi Qingzhou didn’t know what to say.

nLong Xiaoyuan added with a smile, “Qingzhou, you’ve said you trust me.”

nLooking at him, Shi Qingzhou slowly uttered in the end, “Yes.”

nLong Xiaoyuan said with a happy smile, “So I mean what I’ve said…but let’s wait until the baby is born.”

nShi Qingzhou slowly said while looking at his serious eyes, “…okay…”
