Chapter 5 Lack of love (2)
“His Majesty asked me to draw up a decree to recruit young talent people from poor family to attend Imperial College at the beginning of next year, so I came back late.” Gu Qinghong took off his heavy official clothes and revealed the white single clothes inside. The figure is very beautiful, symmetrical and elegant, like a good painting.
Nie Wushuang rushed forward to unb.u.t.ton his neck collar. He had staggered, took a towel and began to wash his face and hands. Because he came from a poor family and did everything by himself. When he was first married, he was not accustomed to her close service for a long time. He gradually acquiesced in her intimacy, but now…seemed to have alienated himself from her.
Nie Wushuang suppressed the discomfort in her heart, she joked, “It seems that His Majesty thinks highly of you. Let my father speak to the emperor in another day, don"t wear our new Prime Minister out so much.”
Gu Qinghong"s hand made a slight gesture sudden stopped and sneered, “This is a small matter, I dare not trouble my father-in-law.”
Nie Wushuang was made a joke, did not expect to provoke him to be unhappy, dare not say anything again. But in her heart was slightly twisted and painful. Recently, gentle fujun seems to be easily angered.
She didn"t know what she had done wrong, formerly they weren"t the case like this.
She held back her heart and was telling him that she was pregnant, but she saw that Gu Qinghong had already gone to bed. Nie Wushuang quietly walked over and sat down on the bed and gently pushed him.
“Xianggong, I have something to say to you.” She bit her lower lip with joy and anxious in her heart.
“Let"s talk about it tomorrow. I"m tired." He turned himself inside and soon fell asleep.
Nie Wushuang was sitting at the bedside, shed tears on her placket, it took a long time to get dressed and go to bed. He laid beside her with warm breath, but she couldn"t remember how long it had been he didn"t embrace her to sleep.
Next morning, when she got up, her side was empty as usual. Mo Xiang brought the basin in when she saw her eyes red and swollen, she was surprised: “Furen, what"s wrong with your eyes?”
“It"s all right. I didn"t sleep well last night.” Nie Wushuang sat in front of the mirror, she saw the woman in the mirror looked haggard, her eyes slightly red and swollen.
“Did Lord hear that you are pregnant, so…” Mo Xiang wanted to make fun out of her, but when she saw her gloomy face, she dared not speak.
“Furen, Furen, Lord is back!” The servant and the mistress were talking instantly the voice of butler rank from outside.
“Lord is coming back?” Nie Wushuang was slightly surprised: “How did he come back at this time?” She smiled. Wouldn"t it be better to come back earlier?
“I know. I"ll dress up and go.” Nie Wushuang urged Mo Xiang to comb her hair, put makeup on her face. It was a big surprise that he came back so early today. That means she had time to get along with him and told him that she is pregnant…Nie Wushuang blushed, a touch of bright red floating on his cheeks, as delicate as peach blossoms.
“Furen, you are so beautiful today!” Mo Xiang combed her with a floating cloud bun (7), adorned with a few beads, looked simple and generous.
“Furen, Lord brought a woman back today.” The butler at outside hesitated to speak.
Nie Wushuang trembled, the comb in her hand suddenly fell and split off into two halves, a good ivory comb could not bear the impact from falling.
