Chapter 98.1

After a month Zhan Zhen understood that the little thing in his stomach was not tossing Xian Sheng, but tossing him.

As long as he cooks, Xian Sheng eats well and comfortably and if he doesn’t cook a meal, Xian Sheng vomits whatever he eats.

In the past two days, there has been another rumor in the capital. The result of offering sacrifices to the heavens and praying for blessings came and it rained in the northerly area. Now, this is big news for the entire Jin Kingdom.

Because of the remoteness, it took some days to come to the capital.

Because of this sudden surprise and the fact that the kid was a picky eater even before he was born, Emperor Jin felt more and more happy in his heart and even felt more sure that Xian Sheng was a little immortal in his belly. He was eager and couldn’t wait for the day of his birth and take a good look.

The Crown princess became the proof that the immortals descended to the world and even some people secretly hung the portrait of Xian Sheng at home, which was later taken away by Zhan Zhen’s subordinates.

“Is there such a thing?” When she met the emperor of Jin, she asked him and the emperor of Jin was also very surprised. He knocked on the table and said thoughtfully, “Do you think this Xian Sheng is a miracle?”

The queen knocked the melon seeds and said, “It doesn’t look like a disaster, but it looks like a blessing.”

“You can see that too?”

  “That’s not true.” The Empress said: “God gave birth to her with such good looks, is not to remind people to spoil her a little more?”

“It also makes sense.” Emperor Jin thought for a while, then rubbed his hands together:” My little grandson, I don’t know when I will be able to hug him. I can’t wait.”

    “I want to hug him too and after he is born the child will definitely have to live in the Crown Prince’s Mansion. It’s not good for you, Your Majesty, to run there every day.”

“It’s easy to handle, just bring the child here.”

“So you want to steal your grandson?” The queen looked at him and said, “Is it suitable? The child belongs to the young couple, you are His Majesty and you have to stand aside. The child must be raised by the parents.”

“Then…then I’ll often announce him to come in and play.” When Emperor Jin was talking, Chao momo approached and said, “You said that Xian Sheng is a man, and….”

Emperor Jin’s face became tense: “What are you doing?”

“I spit.” The Empress said: “The skin in this melon seed is thin and it sticks to my lips. If you don’t slap it hard, you can’t spit it out, bah, bah!”

    Due to Xian Sheng’s physical reasons, Zhan Zhen also paid more attention to the progress of how to deliver the baby but Qi Sile said that he didn’t make any progress.

Xian Sheng unexpectedly does not look very pregnant. Except for the fact that he eats a lot and sleeps alot more, he is not obviously fat. 

It soon turned into June and after learning that Xian Sheng is really pregnant, South Liang, after a lot of psychological struggles, the royal family sent people to bring in a lot of fruits and vegetables, all of which were chilled with ice cubes. They were still very fresh when they arrived at the mansion. By then Xian Sheng’s reaction during pregnancy had faded a lot. Xian Sheng said: “These are all my favorite foods, and they must have been prepared by my mother.”

He couldn’t wait to take it out of the ice box and eat it but was stopped by Zhan Zhen: “Wait until it becomes warm. You shouldn’t eat cold food.”

Xian Sheng is very greedy and wants to eat when he sees it, but for his own body, he has to hold back. Zhan Zhen couldn’t help laughing when he saw it and said: “Qi Sile has no clue. I’m going to send someone to find Lingqiu. He has read your fortune before, there must be a way.”

“It doesn’t matter, he will appear when he should appear.” Xian Sheng’s eyes are still fixed on the lychees taken out of the ice box. Zhan Zhen reaches out and warms them in his hands, saying: “There are still a few in the palace. The lychee tree is not fully ripe yet. When it is ripe, I will pick it all up for you to eat.”

“This lychee is very sweet. I used to be able to eat a lot of it by myself but after coming here I never got to taste it again.”

“We also have a lot of fruit varieties in the north, watermelon, apples and peaches. It’s not enough for you?”

“What do you know, I like to eat lychees.”

“Qi Sile said that this thing is too high in sugar, you can’t eat too much now.” Zhan Zhen poured hot water into the lychees then put the skin in it to burn it and then remembered the main topic: “Why don’t you care about your body at all? You are pregnant and we can’t really cut you open right?”

Xian Sheng frowned and said anxiously: “Don’t burn yourself.”

Zhan Zhen took it out unhappily, peeled it off and stuffed it in his mouth: “Cold or not?”

“Not cold.” Xian Sheng lied, spit out the seed and said, “I still need more.”

“Do you know how to contact Lingqiu?”

“What are you going to do with him? After my eighteen-year-old fate is over, I be full of descendants.”

Zhan Zhen suddenly became vigilant: “Did he also say that you will have children and grandchildren?” 

He said that Xian Sheng could not eat lychees, so he reluctantly took an apple to eat and said: “I’m sure there will be nothing wrong with me anyway.”

“There will be many children and grandchildren… That means this is our first child?” Zhan Zhen’s face darkened: “It means you can give birth to more children ah.”

Xian Sheng looked at him inexplicably: “Isn’t it up to you? How can I have a baby if you didn’t mess with me?”

“How can the husband and wife not do those things?”

“Then what are you excited about?”

“I dare to say, either I do nothing and if I do, you may get pregnant again, won’t that be troublesome?”

Xian Sheng pressed his lips to the apple, took a slow bite, his expression suddenly became obedient and said, “Then, when the child comes, ask Qi Sile to make some medicine and see if we can avoid it.”

Only then was Zhen satisfied and he said, “Let’s see if he has any medicine that I can take, your health is bad enough, so it’s not good for you to take more.”

“Thank you, Husband.”

Xian Sheng felt another surge of sweetness in his heart.

Xian Sheng is over eighteen now, so he is sure that he is safe from disaster, so raised himself safely. One fine day, suddenly a guest came to the Crown Prince’s mansion and Zhan Zhen was not there, so Xian Sheng went to see him in person.  When he arrived at the living room, the first thing he saw was a straight and tall figure, wearing a white robe but with a light crown unique to a Taoist priest on his head. He suddenly stopped and was slightly stunned.

Hearing the movement, the man turned around and smiled slightly: “Xiao Sheng’er?”

Xian Sheng has only met Lingqiu several times but every time they meet, Xian Sheng has a deep memory because he saved him many times. It would not be too much to say that he was like a second parent to Xian Sheng.

He can see the shadow of his relatives on Lingqiu. The other party appeared too suddenly and Xian Sheng suddenly moved to take a few steps forward, his eyes were red: “Ma.. Master.”

“After not seeing you for many years, you still stutter when you speak?”

Xian Sheng laughed and wiped his tears: “I am so excited to see you.”

Lingqiu has a childish face and he is full of immortal spirit. He picks up his hands and whisks the dust away. He put it on his arm and then helped Xian Sheng to sit down at the table and said, “You are still so good at talking.”

“Was it you who spread the news in the capital last time?” Xian Sheng adjusted his mood and didn’t bother to be polite to him. He couldn’t wait to ask questions. He knew that Lingqiu travels a lot, so if he didn’t ask today, he could not be sure if he will leave again tomorrow. Xian Sheng has always been a person who cherishes time like gold.

Lingqiu laughed when he heard it: “As usual, you never greet your Master when you meet him.”
