Chapter 286 You Should Call Me Grandpa
Ao Chengji touched his hurt head and smiled foolishly.

"Hey hey hey..."

The master and the disciple were talking as they walked out of the palace. Unexpectedly, when they turned a corner, they ran into Emperor Tianwu.

Doctor Meng and Ao Chengji were both shocked and quickly knelt down to greet him.

Emperor Tianwu was particularly kind. He first affirmed Doctor Meng's medical skills and rewarded him with two unique handwritten copies of medical books from the Imperial Medical Bureau in the palace.

After Doctor Meng and Ao Chengji stood up, Emperor Tianwu looked at Ao Chengji and said, "This is the study companion chosen by the Crown Prince, right?"

Ao Chengji was about to kneel down again, but was stopped by Emperor Tianwu: "Alright, alright, why are you kneeling?"

"I already know what happened just now. You may look young, but you are actually very thoughtful..."

Ao Chengji also realized the fear belatedly at this moment, and pursed his lips and dared not respond.

Fortunately, Emperor Tianwu finished his praises quickly and pulled a jade pendant from his waist: "This is a reward for you, take it!"

Ao Chengji felt something was wrong: the jade pendant was too valuable!

How could the emperor reward himself with such a precious thing? !
I just found out that Sister Xiao was pregnant by accident...

Ao Chengji wanted to refuse and knelt down again: "Chengji has no achievements, I am unworthy of it..."

Emperor Tianwu pulled Ao Chengji up again and said, "How can you be so pedantic at such a young age..."

"Your grandfather and I used to hang out together all the time, and we had a very special relationship."

"The night before your grandfather and your father went to war, he came to me for a drink. At that time, you were still in your mother's belly..."

The past cannot be mentioned. Fu Zhonghai felt a little sad when he mentioned it.

He looked at Ao Chengji seriously: "Based on your age, you can be my grandson! From now on, you should call me grandpa!"

Ao Chengji: ...

He dare not.

Emperor Tianwu said with a fierce look on his face: "Hmm? Don't you know what it means that the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed?"

Ao Chengji struggled internally for a while before he compromised: "Grandpa Emperor..."

"Hey!" Fu Zhonghai agreed loudly, and happily handed over the ring on his hand, "Good boy..."

Ao Chengji returned home and saw his mother and grandparents were all there. He was stunned for a moment: "Grandpa, grandma, mother..."

Why are grandpa and grandma here at this time?
And the corners of my mother's eyes are slightly red, as if she has been crying?

what's going on?
When Lady Cui saw her son coming back, she waved her hand and said, "My stepson is back... What is this?"

After Ao Chengji paid his respects, he stuffed all the things into his mother's hands and explained everything that had happened today, hiding the fact that Xiao Yingchun was pregnant.

"Mother, why did His Majesty the Emperor give me the jade pendant and the ring?"

Princess Cui and her biological father looked at each other: Of course it was because Ao Chengji was his grandson.

But I can’t say that; the child is still too young.

If I knew it now and said something wrong, it would be a disaster.

Cui Junjun forced a smile and said, "It must be because my stepson behaved well today and His Majesty likes my stepson..."

After asking the servant to take Ao Chengji back to his own courtyard to change clothes, Cui Chaoyong glanced at his wife.

"Madam, please go outside the door and watch. I have something to say to Yan Yun."

Mrs. Cui Chaoyong obediently got up and went out.

Yes, Madam Cui Chaoyong came with her master just as a cover.

After all, my daughter has been a widow for many years, and it is not appropriate for her father to come here alone.

Cui Chaoyong was very worried about the immense wealth of the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion, so naturally he wanted to ask about it in private.

The newly crowned Princess Cui did not hide anything from her biological father.

Upon learning the truth, Cui Chaoyong's face turned pale!

This is really...

After making sure that his wife was guarding outside the door, Cui Chaoyong sighed, "This way, you don't have to worry anymore."

It’s enough that Ao Chengji can go home at night.

As a daughter-in-law that Emperor Tianwu could not acknowledge, Cui Yanyun was not even worthy of the title.

So Emperor Tianwu gave her the title of County Lady.

To outsiders, this was a great gift, but to Cui Chaoyong and Cui Yanyun, after knowing the inside story, it seemed a bit weird. But what could they do?
As an emperor, Fu Zhonghai has done his best...

In the palace's warm room, as soon as the experienced midwife finished introducing the experience and do's and don'ts of pregnancy care and left, Fu Chenan came over and held Xiao Yingchun's hand.

"Yingying, when are we getting married?"

Xiao Yingchun: “Ah?”

Fu Chenan looked at Xiao Yingchun's belly with a guilty conscience: "The child will grow up day by day, and we can't let him be nameless and without status..."

Xiao Yingchun wanted to say "I don't mind".

But when I think about the era in which Fu Chenan lived, I can't say this.

She glanced at Fu Chenan...wait!
Why did Fu Chenan seem obviously guilty when he spoke?

Xiao Yingchun thought about how she and him had been having sex for less than a month...

This can reveal the pulse, at least it is the result of the first few days!
How come it hit the spot so quickly? !

Is it just because both of them are young and in good health? !

"Fu Chenan, tell me the truth, are you hiding something from me?"

Xiao Yingchun stared at Fu Chenan and spoke harshly, as if he was going to force a confession from him.

Fu Chenan: ...

After struggling for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "My father said that as long as you get pregnant, you will be willing to marry me."

"He asked the doctor to add some tonic medicine that is beneficial to fertility to your blood and qi tonic pills..."

"The imperial physician said that it won't cause any harm to your body, but it will increase the chances of conception..."

"I'm sorry Yingying! I was wrong. I shouldn't have hidden it from you."

His fearless attitude lasted only three seconds, and then he turned aggrieved: "I want you to marry me... Yingying, I'm sorry..."

As he spoke, Fu Chenan came forward and looked at Xiao Yingchun pitifully.

Xiao Yingchun: ...it was tricked out.

I was so angry that I laughed.

"Haha! You should listen to your father!"

Who would have thought that the generous Fu Zhonghai would actually calculate his own belly? !
But thinking about it, Xiao Yingchun was so angry at herself that she laughed: How could she be so naive?
How could a man who could defy the world and rebel to claim the throne in such an era not be good at calculation? !

I was deceived by his hearty laughter and generous demeanor, and mistakenly thought that he was a generous person.

The truth is: being bold and frank is just an outward appearance; Fu Zhonghai’s heart is definitely not simple.

I am superficial.

Xiao Yingchun lowered her eyes somewhat discouraged and listened to Fu Chenan mumbling an apology.

"Yingying, I was wrong. Please don't ignore me."

"I have already made an agreement with my father. I will take care of my stepson for two years. When he is able to handle things on his own, I will slowly let him get involved in state affairs..."

"Then I can go to your place and marry into your family."

"If you want to leave the child here, then it's fine. If you want to raise him with you, then it's fine."

"I listen to you."

"I'll follow you anyway."

Fu Chenan's statement that "I only want a wife, not a father" made Xiao Yingchun so angry that she didn't know what to do.

This era is different from the 21st century. A son-in-law who lives with his wife will be looked down upon by everyone.

What’s more, Fu Chenan is the prince!
He really has a throne to inherit!

But he said these things without any psychological burden, just speaking freely.

Xiao Yingchun lowered her eyes: "Okay, I understand."

Fu Chenan was overjoyed for a moment: "Yingying, are you willing to marry me?"

Xiao Yingchun looked at him deeply and said, "Okay."

If he doesn't get married, who knows how many people will be watching Prince Fu Chenan!
She didn't want to make herself unhappy.

In order to avoid future troubles, she took this opportunity.
