Chapter 453: Where Did These Children Come From?
Fortunately, Sang Luo hadn't been drinking water, or she would have spat it out.
Seeing the Crown Prince's handsome face turn even colder, she quickly suppressed her laughter and said with a straight face, "Yes! I certainly believe that Your Highness's body is… very healthy!"
It was rather like saying the opposite of what she meant.
Yun Hua turned his head away from her, and Sang Luo also sensibly stood aside to help him grind ink. The two of them didn't say another word, and the atmosphere was quiet and harmonious, leaving only the rustling sound of grinding ink, the sound of the brush falling, and the sound of their breathing…
It was very late, and Sang Luo yawned, clearly feeling sleepy.
Crown Prince Yun Hua put down his brush and looked at her, saying, "Worry-Free Palace has been cleaned up. You can move there tonight, or you can stay here with me."
Sang Luo became alert and shook her head with an embarrassed smile, "How can that be! I'm just a dancer Your Highness brought back from outside. If I move into the Crown Prince's bedroom and stay overnight on the very first night, rumors will spread and damage Your Highness's reputation. Your Highness can just give me a side room to rest in."
"Since I have bestowed Worry-Free Palace upon you, you are the master of Worry-Free Palace, and no one else will move in."
Yun Hua didn't intend to retract his decree, and Sang Luo couldn't say anything else.
The Crown Prince added, "Tomorrow, you can choose a few servants who please your eye to serve your daily life."
Sang Luo shook her head, "Thank you for Your Highness's kindness, but there's no need. I prefer peace and quiet and can take care of myself."
The Crown Prince nodded and didn't say much, "Then so be it."
After drafting the edict, Sang Luo bowed and was about to leave when he slowly opened his mouth again,
"The capping ceremony will be in three months."
Sang Luo was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered what the expert had said when the Crown Prince was born, that he could only engage in carnal matters after he turned twenty at the capping ceremony… Why did he deliberately say this to her? Could it be that he really had designs on her?
She liked Yan, that was true, but she didn't want to leave a fleeting romantic relationship with his split soul's mortal body in this world.
Sang Luo blinked her eyes innocently, pretending to be stupid, "The beauties in the East Palace have been lonely for so long and are probably as fierce as wolves and tigers. Your Highness should spread your favor evenly, but also don't indulge in pleasure and ruin your health."
Her words were extremely sincere, but they made the man's turbid air stagnate in his heart, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he said word by word, "I redeemed you from the brothel and brought you back to the East Palace. You are also my woman."
Sang Luo smiled noncommittally, "It's true that Your Highness brought me back to the East Palace, but from beginning to end, you haven't asked for my opinion, have you? I didn't agree."
Seeing the man's face getting darker, she swallowed and added fuel to the fire, unafraid of death,
"If Your Highness feels that the transaction is a loss, you can just send me back. Anyway, my life in the brothel was also…"
He hurriedly interrupted her, fearing that he would be angered to the point of liver pain, "It's just one more pair of chopsticks in the palace, it's not like I can't afford to raise you!"
Hearing this, Sang Luo subconsciously gently stroked her flat abdomen,
"It's not just one pair of chopsticks…"
"What?" Yun Hua didn't hear her murmur clearly and was confused.
Sang Luo smiled brightly, "It's nothing. If Your Highness doesn't have anything else, I'll go back and rest first."
"… Well, if there's anything you need to add to the courtyard, you can tell me directly."
"Thank you for Your Highness's favor."
Sang Luo bowed and took her leave.
After the door closed, Crown Prince Yun Hua still stared blankly in the direction Sang Luo left, lost in thought. He could feel that the woman seemed to be deliberately keeping her distance from him.
Why?
A courtesan who could gain the Crown Prince's favor should use all her skills to win the other party's love, but other than that one time in the carriage when she seduced him and made his heart race, she hadn't taken any other excessive actions, and didn't seem to care about this identity.
…
Since the assassination during the hunt, Crown Prince Yun Hua had rarely gone out recently, and even when he did, he would come back at night.
The Crown Prince was in the palace morning and night, and Sang Luo had been watching him these past few days, and everything was safe and sound. However, Fei Yuan hadn't returned yet, and there was no news, which made her feel uneasy.
After the Crown Prince took her as a concubine, he came to her room the next day for lunch, and then never came again. Before his capping ceremony, Sang Luo didn't have to worry about serving the Crown Prince in bed.
The beauties in the harem would come over from time to time to be sarcastic about her background, and subtly create obstacles for her.
Sang Luo was also an old fellow who had lived for hundreds of years and seen great storms. She didn't care about these trivial matters of vying for favor, and often laughed it off. If the other party was really too much, she would retaliate, and the people who came to provoke her often got a nose full of ash here.
Those beauties felt like they were punching cotton, not only not happy, but even more aggrieved.
After a while, they were too lazy to waste their breath here. Anyway, she was just a dancer from a brothel, difficult to ascend to the hall of elegance. No matter how beautiful her face was, there would be a day when people got tired of looking at it. When the Crown Prince was over this period of freshness, he would naturally throw her behind him. A mere dancer couldn't compete with them, the daughters of officials and nobles.
The food made in the膳房 today was good. Sang Luo released the two little snakes. Usually used to eating spirit fruits and crystal cores, the children all liked the dishes of the mortal world.
The two little snakes kept in mind their mother's teachings and transformed into human form in the mortal world.
Thus, two unbelievably beautiful little boys and girls sat side by side on Sang Luo's left and right sides, clumsily picking up vegetables with chopsticks.
"Mother, what is this crunchy thing? It's so delicious."
"Pig ears."
"Ah? Bah, bah!" Little Qi spat it out again. He didn't want to eat pig ears!
Sang Luo smiled.
Little Yuan picked up a spicy chicken wing and put it into her bowl, "Mother likes to eat this."
"Thank you, my good daughter～" Sang Luo felt extremely sweet in her heart, looking at these two children, her heart was full of satisfaction.
"The Crown Prince has arrived—"
Someone called out outside the courtyard.
Crown Prince Yun Hua had nothing to do today, and suddenly thought of the dancer he had brought back from outside the palace a few days ago. With a thought, he walked to Worry-Free Palace.
But as soon as he entered the door and saw the two children beside Sang Luo, he was stunned.
"You…"
Where did these children come from?
When did his huge East Palace have children?!
The two children were only four or five years old, with pink skin and jade-like features, and their faces still showed adorable baby fat. Their eyebrows and eyes were extremely delicate and beautiful, looking like two little immortals beside the goddess of the Nine Heavens.
"Fox… Hello, Uncle Crown Prince!" Little Qi bit his tongue, almost exposing himself.
Little Yuan patted his hand, "His Highness the Crown Prince is so young, we should call him Brother Crown Prince!"
"But Mother and His Highness the Crown Prince are together, we all call him Uncle!" Calling him brother would be a difference in generation.
If you really follow the age, this Crown Prince can call them ancestors!
Little Yuan thought it was also true, and honestly called out, "Hello, Uncle Crown Prince!"
"Mother?" Yun Hua's face changed even more when he heard the words from the two children's mouths. His gentle eyes were filled with shock as he looked at Sang Luo, his fingers trembling, "You… Where did you bring these two children from?!"
Sang Luo got up, bowed, took the hands of the two children and walked towards him, smiling, "I forgot to introduce them to Your Highness beforehand. These two are my children, the boy is called Little Qi, and the girl is called Little Yuan."
"Biological children?" Yun Hua frowned even more, his eyes fixed on the three of them, as if trying to see some clues.
Sang Luo raised her eyebrows, "Of course! My own children!"
The corners of Crown Prince Yun Hua's lips tightened, and his face turned a little pale.
She looked very young, about the same age as him, but she was actually the mother of two children?
He couldn't believe it no matter what, but these two beautiful children did look very much like her, and were undoubtedly her own children.
Sang Luo lovingly touched her belly, saying something shocking and endless, and stimulating him fiercely, "Not only two children, but there's one in my belly too～"
