Legend of Concubine's Daughter Minglan-Part Two

C226. Cannon Folder (2)

With wind blowing into the room, the curtain was lifted. Gu Tingye strode into the room. Cuiwei gave her obeisance to him and dismissed herself. Minglan wanted to stand up, but was pressed back by Gu Tingye. Seeing her pale face, he said softly, "Just rest here, don't stand up."

Minglan didn't insist then and only called Xiazhu over to help Gu Tingye get changed. As Minglan leaned on the bedside, she saw the cheerful look on the man's face. Clearly he was in a good mood. Then she asked with a smile, "Master, why are you so joyful today, is it because...?"

Gu Tingye stood there straightly. The dark red gem on his purple golden official hat looked dazzling and the embroidered robe and the jade belt made him look ever more handsome and graceful. He turned around and saw the expectant look in Minglan's bright eyes.

Then he laughed and taunted, "I wasn't promoted, nor did I make a fortune!"

Minglan who had been seen through laughed bashfully and leaned on the bed listlessly again. After Gu Tingye had changed into a set of green leisure wear embroidered with silver threads, he waved his hand to dismiss Xiazhu. Having sat beside Minglan, he touched the warm bag on Minglan's belly and asked, "Still hurt?"

Minglan shook her head softly, saying, "I just have no strength right now."

Gu Tingye rubbed Minglan's cheek while approaching to Minglan. She could feel his face still a bit hot due to the sunlight outside and his stubble quite rough while he used his face to rub her smooth and tender cheek. After a long while, they both sighed and spoke at the same time with completely different contents,

"We should have babies later."

"We should have babies sooner."

After that, they both looked at each other in shock, with surprised and amused expressions in their eyes. Gu Tingye said first, "Stupid girl. You should nurse your body first. There's no hurry to have babies right now. We have plenty of time."

Hearing that, Minglan blushed right away, her fair cheek now super rosy. Then she said, "That's not right. I've heard from the experienced women that once a woman gives birth to a baby, she wouldn't feel so uncomfortable during her period."

"Is that so?" Gu Tingye seemed to doubt her words, "I thought having a baby at a young age was bad for women."

"Who told you that?" Minglan couldn't help laughing, "The elders always say that as long as a woman's condition is well, giving birth to children won't cause any harm."

It had to be admitted that although Gu Tingye was wild on bed, he was very thoughtful in some aspects. Ever since Minglan started to nurse her body according to Old Madam He's prescription, she had requested implicitly that they should stop having sex for a few days every month. She wanted to get pregnant after two courses of drug treatment. When Minglan had made that request, she had felt a bit uneasy. After all, in this ancient time, everyone said it was better and a blessing to have a baby early. Little had she known that Gu Tingye would agree with her without any hesitation and even told Minglan to take care of her own body repeatedly.

"I only want to be a widower for once. You have to stay with me for several decades." Gu Tingye had joked that at that time.

As a result, except for the few non-sex days, Gu Tingye got extremely passionate every night and they had crazy sex till every midnight.

Having heard Minglan said that, Gu stopped frowning and massaged Minglan's little hands while comforting her, "You still should be careful, during my wandering days..." He paused and said with pleasure, "I heard that some of the wives of the farmers could even give birth to children when they were fifty."
