Chapter Text
"Lan Zhan, i will vow to stay by your side and love you until the end. I will be always your other half, your soulmate, your protector."
"Wei Ying, i will vow to stay by your side and love you until the end. I will be always your other half, your soulmate, your protector."
.........
"My Emperor, let's eat together?"
"Not now, My Empress. I need to finish these papers. After, i will join you and let's retrieve for the night."
"Hm.. Alright."
Wei Ying exited his husband's office. His personal server, Li Hong, walked away by his side.
"My dear Empress, are you alright?" Li Hong asked, after they got inside in Wei Ying's room.
"Yes, A-Hong. It's just, Lan Zhan changed. Ahhh.. I may be only reacting. Lan Zhan is just busy. I mean, he is an Emperor after all.."
"My dear Empress, why don't we let you eat first and have a nice warm bath after?"
"That would be lovely."
.........
Wei Ying nervously looked at his Uncle in law, who was talking to his husband. The man never like him in the first place.
Lan Qiren had never like his bold and mischievous personality. He is trying to change for the best.
Wei Ying gripped on his robes as he listen to the two as they talked about heirs.
"Wangji, it is clear that Wei Wuxian is infertile. We need a heir! And my conclusion is we will get you a concubine!"
Wei Ying knew about this. He grew under his Uncle's Empire. Was thought about everything. It's normal for an Emperor to have a concubine or more than that. But, by just thinking about it hurts his chest.
"Starting tomorrow, i will be introducing you to the best concubines that will be present here!"
Li Hong looked at Wei Ying in worry. "My dear Empress..."
"It's fine, A-Hong. An Emperor having a concubine or more is normal. Right?"
Li Hong just stayed silent.
"And, Lan Zhan vowed to be on my side until the end. He always keep those."
Wei Ying said before he went to his office to do paper works.
.........
Just what Lan Qiren said, he started to introduced many concubines to Lan Wangji. All of them were women..
But, Lan Wangji didn't even took interest on any of them.
Lately, he has been acting just as he was before he took the throne. Wei Ying was happy about it. 'I knew i was just being dramatic..'
"Lan Zhan, do you wanna go to the garden tonight? I want to spend time in there with you alone."
"Anything for Wei Ying."
Wei Ying giggled as Lan Wangji pecked on his forehead.
Night came, Wei Ying smiled when Lan Wangji finally arrived and sat beside him.
"Do you remember what happened to us here, Lan Zhan?"
"Mn. This is the place where we confessed."
Wei Ying chuckled at the memory. He thought about it when they shouted it in sync that they love each other and blushed madly because of shyness.
"It was pretty accurate."
"Mn."
Wei Ying laid his head on his husband's shoulder and sighed. Lan Wangji took his hand and kiss it.
"What's wrong, bunny?"
"Nothing.."
Lan Zhan sighed silently. "Worried about Uncle's doing?"
"I can't help it, A-Zhan.. I know i am infertile, but i didn't know your Uncle would..."
Lan Zhan pulled him closer. "I vowed to stay and love you forever. I will keep it until the end. I will love Wei Ying always."
"I love Lan Zhan too.."
Lan Zhan kissed him and he kissed back. They pulled from each other after a minute. Lan Zhan pecked on his cheek.
Wei Ying closed his eyes. 'You are a great husband, A-Zhan...'
.........
'Love me always?... Then, why did you kiss her?...'
.........
"Wangji, this is Ming Yue. She is the daughter of a dear friend of mine. She is well educated, talented, and beautiful. And an Omega."
"Greetings, your Highness."
"See? She is also well mannered. Unlike someone."
Wei Ying gripped the cup holder of his tea. Li Hong is holding back from glaring the Grandmaster. 'How dare he say that?!'
"Uncle."
Lan Qiren huffed.
Lan Qiren let the Omega girl joined their lunch. She was positioned right beside Lan Wangji, which is the place where the Empress was supposed to be.
Wei Ying controlled his almost frowned and sat on the opposite direction.
.........
"Ugh! What is wrong with Grandmaster Lan?! DOES HE THINK MY DEAR EMPRESS IS JUST SOMEONE?!"
Wei Ying nervously chuckled, with Wen Ning sitting by his side.
"A-Hong, calm down-"
Li Hong huffed and stamp his feet towards Wei Ying's side and aggressively sat while crossing his arm.
"Ying-ge, you can stay with me and Jiejie for the night."
"Ah, no need A-Ning. Lan Zhan might worry if i won't be back before dark."
"My dear Empress, you think? No offense but, he has been talking and spending time with that concubine..."
"Maybe they are just getting along. Since she is the daughter of Grandmaster Lan's friend. Anyways, let's go A-Hong."
'Oh my dear Empress, none of the Lans deserved your kindness..' Li Hong thought.
.........
Wei Ying sat on the chair infront of his husband's desk.
"Lan Zhan."
"Mn?"
"There is a new restaurant in the town. Wanna go there later for lunch?"
"I am busy later. I will be with Ming Yue."
"Oh- Oh okay.."
.........
"Lan Zhan! Should we go to the garden again later?"
"Not today. Ming Yue needs my help."
.........
"Lan Zhan, read with me?"
"I'll be with Ming Yue later."
.........
"Lan Zhan-"
"Not now."
.........
'Lan Zhan seems like has been avoiding me... He also spend his free time with Ming Yue... Ah stop being over dramatic Wei Wuxian!'
He grabbed the tray of teas and snacks and made his way to Lan Zhan's room. He knocked three times but no answer. He frowned. He knocked again but no. He sighed and slowly opened the door.
"Sorry for disturbing Lan Zhan. I know you are busy, so i brou-"
The tray in his hand, shattered to the floor.
He stood frozen as he saw what is infront of him. Ming Yue was in Lan Wangji's lap. Their lips were swollen, clearly the evidence that they made out.
Ming Yue immediately jump away from Lan Wangji, who stood up from the bed.
"Wei Ying, i-"
Wei Ying hands trembled. "Y-You..."
"Wei Ying, please let me explain.."
Just then, Lan Qiren came in with Li Hong, who was clearly concerned.
"In the Main Hall, now."
.........
In the Main Hall, Wei Ying stood in the middle. His head hang low, as Li Hong was furious.
"Wei Wuxian, did you know what you just did? You interrupted my nephew and my future niece in law! This is why i don't accept you! I don't even know what Wangji sees in you! Whe you are there, there is always trouble! YOU HAVE DONE ENOUGH!"
'Betrayal...'
"Grabdmaster Lan! You have no right to yell at my dear Empress!"
"Li Hong! Know your place! And him?! An Empress?! Ming Yue is the future Empress! She will be marrying Wangji in 1 week!"
The servants and guards gasped.
Even Ming Yue was shocked.
"What?..."
Wei Ying looked at Lan Wangji.
"It's true."
"Lan Zhan, you vowed me!"
"I made a mistake marrying you. I thought you will changed. But you never did."
Now this broke Wei Ying's heart. Lan Zhan only love him because he thought he will change. So much betrayal...
"From now on! Wei Ying will be removed from his positioned and will be send back to the Song Empire!"
.........
The other servants watched with worry. They watched as Wei Ying took off his robes for Empress and left the under garments and putted his usual black and red robes.
He didn't even let Li Hong helped him.
After he putted his hair in a half ponytail, he started to pack his things.
He putted the gifts from Lan Wangji in a bag. He took it with him as he exited the Empire. He went to the garden and throw the bag, full with the gifts, in the middle of the garden.
He then took out a fire talisman before throwing it to the bag, burning it.
'I redesign this garden. He does not deserve this anymore.' he thought, as he watched the fire spread to the grass.
He walked away with Li Hong, leaving the Lan Empire.
.........
When he arrived at his friend's Empire, he only went straight to his room.
Li Hong explained everything to Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen. It was then passed to Xue Yang and Mo Xuanyu.
"That liar... I'll make him pay!"
Xiao Xingchen checked on Wei Ying, who was crying silently beside his bed.
.........
After 5 months, Wei Ying spend his time in the waterfalls on the grounds of Song Empire. He usually just sit there for hours. He had remembered the wedding invitation. Lan Qiren was really provoking him. Based on the paintings, Lan Zhan looked happier with her.
He burried his head on his arms as he pulled his knees closer to his chest.
Minutes later, he heard footsteps. He doesn't care.
"Young master?"
He didn't answer. The man, as he guessed judging from the voice, sighed. He sat beside Wei Ying.
"Beautiful place, isn't it?"
Wei Ying stayed silent. The Man also stayed silent for a while. Wei Ying finally asked.
"Who are you?..."
"Me? I am the owner of this place."
"What?"
"I know it's in here in the Song Empire but, yeah. It's mine."
Wei Ying lifted his head a little.
"I have been given a report that there was someone who has been staying here for hours and hours for 5 months. I came here to check."
Wei Ying finally look at him. The man looked muscular. He has a wavy black hair, tilting to the left side. He has thick eyebrows and he had soft green orbs. He was wearing fancy dark blue robes, and he has a small black cape.
"You're gorgeous, what's your name?"
"......"
"You can trust me. I know your Uncle."
"You do?"
"Mhm, Xiao Xingchen right?"
"Hm.."
"We have known each other for 4 years. His husband gave me this place as a payback."
"....."
"So, can i get your name?"
"Wei Ying..."
"The Ex-Empress?.."
"....."
"Hah... What was the Lans thinking? Replacing you with a concubine? Glad my father is not an ally with them."
"Y-Your-"
"Xiao Guang, Emperor of Xiao Empire."
Wei Ying quickly stood up, almost out balancing if it weren't for Xiao Guang to help him.
"Woah, slow down.. Are you hurt?"
"No, just a cramp.."
"Careful.."
Xiao Guang helped him sit on a rock. "How long have you been here?"
"6 hours.."
"Oh my- We should head back. Wanna go back with me? I am planning to pay a visit on my friend."
"....."
"Just come!"
Xiao Guang used a whistle language and a horse rushed, but gracefully.
Wei Ying was mesmerized by the beauty.
Xiao Guang climbed on to the horse's back and took his hand out for Wei Ying. He was hesitant for a while before he finally took Xiao Guang's hand and climbed up.
"Hold tight."
Wei Ying hesitantly wrapped his arms around the mans waist. But he held on it tightly as the horse started to run fast towards back to the Empire Palace.
.........
"I see you have met my A-Ying, Emperor Xiao."
"Mhm. Empress Song, may i ask a permission?"
"You may."
"May i court your friend?"
.........
"You met Emperor Xiao?!"
"Yes.."
"And he is a friend of Empress Song? Don't they have the same surname? Well, past surname for Empress Song (Xiao Xingchen)"
"Forget it. I am tired."
"Then, rest well, A-Ying."
............
"Court me?!"
"Yes."
"What do you even see in me?!"
"Energetic, sweet, kind, talented, brave, pretty-"
"Okay okay! We just met like, 2 weeks ago!"
"We don't always have to rush things. Maybe get to know each other more before i can finally court you."
Wei Ying thought for a while before he sighed. "Fine.."
Xiao Guang smiled. "Then, wanna go on a date?"
"Why are you so straight forward?!"
In the end, they did go on a date. Xiao Guang was starting to spoil Wei Ying. He brought him snacks, small furnitures, toys, etc.
"Your Highness."
"I told you to call me, Xiao Guang."
"Fine... Xiao Guang, do you like bunnies?"
"Indeed. They are so cute, right?"
"Mhm!
"But you're cuter."
Wei Ying slightly turned red. Xiao Guang chuckled and patted his head.
.........
Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan watched Xiao Guang and Wei Ying. The two were on Wei Ying's garden in Song Empire while they laugh and joke around with bunnies around them.
"I am glad he is starting to move on, A-Lan.."
"Hm.."
They heard Wei Ying's laugh again, as Xiao Guang told him about another funny story.
"I hope Wei Ying will answer him soon. It's almost been a year-"
.........
"What do you mean there still none?"
"I am sorry, Uncle. I am not pregnant." Ming Yue said.
"Impossible. It's almost been a year since the wedding!"
"Uncle, please calm down." Lan Xichen. He had come for visit again after they removed Wei Ying from the positioned.
"In a month! I will expecting you to be pregnant! Got it?!"
.........
"A-Guang."
"Yes, A-Ying?"
"Can i ask you something?"
"Sure!"
"Can you repeat what you asked months ago?"
"......."
Wei Ying looked at him. Xiao Guang was still in shock before he finally got back to his senses.
"That, right?"
Wei Ying nodded.
Xiao Guang exhaled and took Wei Ying's hand. "Heir Wei Ying, Wei Wuxian, would you let this Emperor from Xiao Empire to court you?"
"Yes." Wei Ying smiled.
Xiao Guang pulled him in to a hug, literally picking him up from the ground.
"Whoa! A-Guang!" Wei Ying laughed.
"Thank you thank you!"
"Come on, put me down! I am heavy!" Wei Ying said with a chuckled.
"No you're not."
"Still, now put me down dummy."
"I won't."
"A-Guang.."
"No."
Wei Ying just chuckled.
.........
"His Highness Xiao is currently courting our Heir Wei Ying?!"
"Yes!"
"I must say that they look cute together!"
"Right?! And Emperor Xiao is a strong and good man. He is kind to his people!"
"And our Heir Wei Ying is sweet and has a good heart. He is educated by Emperor Song and Empress Song themselves!"
"I wonder why did Emperor Lan divorced him. He was not the same when he came back after that.."
"Grandmaster Lan hates Omega males as they are rank the weakest pack. How could Grandmaster Lan do that to our Heir Wei Ying?!"
"Well, Grandmaster Lan has also believe that every male omega are infertile."
"What?!"
"Nevermind the Lan Empire, we have to get ready in advance for a futurr wedding."
"Aish! Emperor Xiao has only started courting Heir Wei yesterday!"
.........
The courting turned to weeks to months to a year.
Xiao Guang hugged his fiancé tighter and Wei Ying snuggled closer. Xiao Guang had proposed a week ago, in front of Wei Ying's whole family.
"A-Guang.."
"Yes, bunny?"
"I love you."
Xiao Guang softly smiled. "I love you too."
.........
Lan Qiren slammed his hand on the dining table. Ming Yue and Lan Wangji flinched.
"You are infertile?"
Ming Yue hesitantly nodded. Lan Wangji gripped on his robes below.
"After all of this, you are infertile?! Then how are we gonna get a heir?!"
Ming Yue only looked down.
Before Lan Qiren exclaimed again, a messenger arrived.
"Grandmaster, an invitation from Xiao Empire arrived."
Lan Qiren and Lan Wangji were surprised. This was the first time their Empire enemy sent an invitation.
Lan Qiren took and read it. He froze after.
Lan Wangji and Ming Yue looked at him, worried.
Lan Qiren slowly gave it to Lan Wangji. The man took it and Ming Yue stood up to read it with him.
They both froze.
.........
Emperor Xiao Guang
&
Heir Wei Ying
We invite you to witness the wedding day of Emperor Xiao and Heir Wei on September ##, #### on Xiao Empire.
Signed by the groom and bride.
.........
Karma.
Lan Qiren remembered when he purposely sent the wedding invitation to the Song Empire.
Lan Wangji's hands turn cold.
Ming Yue was happy for Wei Ying. 'I am glad you found the one for you, Your Majesty.' She thought.
.........
Before the day of the wedding, they went to hang out with their friends on Xiao Empire before they will be not seeing each other.
They took Li Hong and Xiao Feng, the right hand man of Xiao Guang.
"I'll get the foods!" Li Hong said as he stood up.
"I'll be right back." Xiao Guang said. He left the restaurant after he pecked Wei Ying's lips.
"Ying-ge."
"Yes A-Feng?"
"Will you give me a nephew or a niece after your wedding night?" Xiao Feng teased.
Wei Ying blushed and slapped the back of Xiao Feng's head. "Shameless!"
"Oh come on!"
"The wedding is still in a week!"
"I know!"
"Now now you two. What's going on here?" Xiao Guang asked as he finally came back. "And, this are for you my bunny!"
He gave the bouquet to Wei Ying.
"Thank you, A-Guang." Wei Ying smiled.
"Foods here!"
"Finally, took you so long!"
"Shut up!"
.........
Li Hong puts the final touch for Wei Ying's hair. He then took a backward step and looked at the mirror.
"I remember doing this before.."
Wei Ying stood up and faced his best friend. Li Hong smiled.
"But this time, he will be the one you are marrying." Li Hong said.
"A-Hong, thank you.."
"Always, my dear future Empress. Now, let's not keep the others wait."
Li Hong took the red veil and placed it on Wei Ying. He then guides him to the main hall of Xiao Empire.
Meanwhile with Xiao Guang, he was standing in front of the audience as they wait for Wei Ying. He may not look like it but he was nervous.
"Emperor Xiao, calm down."
"I am trying.."
The invited guests were all of there, including the Lans. Xiao Guang didn't why they really attended.
The doors opened, revealing Wei Ying. He was in an expensive red robes with the veil covering his face. Li Hong was now wearing dark blue robes.
Li Hong guided Wei Ying until they reach where Xiao Guang and Xiao Feng are.
Ming Yue, sitting beside Lan Wangji, admitted that they do look cute together as the rumors said.
"Are you okay A-Ying? You're trembling dear..."
"I know, i-"
"I promised, i won't do the same thing as he did."
Wei Ying sighed and held Xiao Guang's hand.
.........
The two then started their three bows.
The first bow was to Heaven and Earth. The second was to show respect to the elderly in front of their relatives. The third bow was to each other.
Li Hong wiped his tear while Xiao Feng smiled.
The celebration comes after the ceremony. People were drinking, laughing, and talking.
The two newly weds stood at the middle as they give their thanks to the visitors who congratulate them.
After, Wei Ying's close friends congratulate them.
"Emperor Xiao, my dear son is now on your hands. Do take care of him."
"Xingchen-ge, i am not your son."
"Oh shut up."
Xiao Guang chuckled. "I will."
(Xiao Xingchen and Xiao Guang are not relatives here, if you are wondering.)
"Xingchen-ge, thank you." Wei Ying said.
"Ah, you're making me cry A-Ying.."
Wei Ying chuckled.
.........
The celebration continue but Wei Ying and Xiao Guang had move for their night.
"Li Hong is indeed great at make ups."
Wei Ying smiled and pulled Xiao Guang for a kiss.
"I have always wanted to do this.." Xiao Guang groaned as he burried his face on Wei Ying's neck.
"Then, don't hold back~"
.........
"What are you doing, Li Hong?" Asked Xiao Feng.
"Praying for Emperor Xiao to show mercy for my Empress Xiao."
.........
2 weeks later
Xiao Guang listened to the elders and Xiao Feng as they talked about the improving new lands of Xiao Empire.
Just then, a server came in rushed.
"Your Highness! I am sorry for intruding!"
"What happened?" asked by an elder.
"His Majesty collapsed in the training the knights!"
"What?!"
Xiao Guang left the hall with the server and Xiao Feng following him. "Where is he?!"
"We brought him to the healing chamber sir!"
They rushed there.
Xiao Guang slammed the door opened.
"Your Highness!"
"How is he?! What's wrong with him?!"
"Rest assured, Your Highness. He is okay."
Xiao Guang and Xiao Feng sighed in relief.
"I will be going to give some medicines to help his condition. Please excuse me."
Xiao Guang sat on the bed, beside Wei Ying, now Xiao Ying.
In an hour, Xiao Ying woke up.
"Dear, are you okay?"
"What happened, A-Guang?.."
"You collapsed while you trained the knights. Tell me where does it hurts."
"I am fine. I'm thirsty.."
Xiao Guang stood up to get a water. He came back and gave it to Xiao Ying. The healer also came back with things.
"You're awake, your Majesty!"
"What's wrong with him, Aunty? You didn't tell me earlier." Xiao Guang said.
"It is actually a good news, Your Highness. His Majesty fainted because of exhaustion. And.."
"What is it Aunty?.."
"His Majesty is expecting!"
Xiao Guang froze and Xiao Ying almost drop the cup.
"Aunty, for real?.."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Xiao Ying gently held his belly.
.........
"AH YOUR HIGHNESS!"
"A-GUANG!"
"SOMEONE CALL ANOTHER HEALER PLEASE!"
.........
Xiao Ying laughed as Xiao Guang pouted. Xiao Ying had teased him over and over.
"Yingying!!"
"What?" Xiao Ying chuckled.
Xiao Guang placed his hand on his husband's belly. Xiao Ying hummed as he ate his strawberries. Xiao Guang hugged him from the waist, not tight to out pressure on Xiao Ying's belly.
"A-Ying..."
"I know, A-Guang. We are going to be parents soon."
.........
The news had spread like a wildfire.
It reaches to the Nies, Jiangs, Jins, Songs, Wens, and Lans.
Some were happy for them and some were worried for Xiao Ying.
Xiao Guang was too. He knew miscarriages were common on Male omegas. But, he wouldn't let that happen to his husband.
Meanwhile with the Lans, they were shocked.
Lan Xichen looked at his brother. He had ignored Ming Yue every now and then. Lan Xichen didn't know what happened before Lan Wangji divorced Wei Ying, as he is also an Empress in Nie Empire.
Yes, he is married to Emperor Nie Mingjue.
He was also disappointed in his Uncle. Just because Omegas are the lowest rank of the pack, doesn't mean they are all weak.
Lan Xichen sighed as he watched his brother stood infront of a burnt garden.
.........
The elders and Xiao Guang had decided to celebrate the pregnancy at October 31, Xiao Ying birthday.
"Is this not too tight, bunny?" Xiao Guang asked, as he fastened the belt around Xiao Ying's waist.
"No, it's not."
Xiao Ying wore dark blue and black robes.
"Ready?"
"Yes."
.........
"Congrats A-Ying!" Luo Qingyang congratulate.
"Thank you, Mianmian."
"Sorry i couldn't attend your wedding."
"It's fine. I know you are also busy with your own family."
Luo Qingyang and Xiao Ying continued to talk.
Xiao Guang was talking to a distant relative when someone called him.
"Emperor Xiao!"
He was met by Emperor Nie, Nie Mingjue and his brother, Nie Huaisang.
"Emperor Nie, thank you for coming."
"Emperor Xiao, thank you for your invitation. Please excuse me as i will go talk to my best friend." Nie Huaisang said.
"Sure, Heir Nie."
Xiao Guang had noticed the Lans. Well, Empress Lan Xichen had cane with his husband. His brother, Ming Yue, and Uncle had came with him.
He didn't like this but he didn't want to be rude in front of many people.
Xiao Guang and Nie Mingjue continued to talk.
Many people came to congratulate and gave their gifts for the couple.
Lan Wangji just stayed on where he sat. He took glances at Xiao Ying every minute.
Xiao Ying was currently talking with Luo Qingyang, Nie Huaisang, and Jiang Cheng.
The four were really good friends. They stop contacting to each other after Lan Wangji and Xiao Ying's marriage.
"Chengcheng, what do you think the baby will be? Will it be a nephew or a niece?"
"Both will be fine." Jiang Cheng answered, ignoring the 'Chengcheng'.
"Oh yeah, how is Shijie?"
"That peacock took care of her better better than i thought."
"As he should!" Xiao Ying laughed.
"A-Ying!"
"Ying-ge!"
Xiao Ying gasped at the new arrivals. "Qing-Jie! A-Ning!" He stood up and hugged the two.
"It's been a while, A-Ying. How are you?" Wen Qing asked.
"Great! A-Guang is taking extra care of me!"
"Hmpf! As he should!"
Xiao Ying laughed.
"Qing-Jie, A-Ning, welcome!" Xiao Guang welcomed as he rushed to them.
"Xiao Guang, glad you rushed here. Leaving my A-Ying behind?! Hmpf!"
"Oh come on, Qing-Jie. You know that three idiots are there!"
"Hey!"
Wen Qing lectured Xiao Guang, as the Emperor wrapped his left arm around Xiao Ying's waist, as the Empress laughed at them.
Lan Wangji saw it all. He wished he wasn't so dumb and wished he was the one who will do that to Xiao Ying.
Ming Yue saw this. She pats his shoulder.
Lan Wangji looked at her. And nodded.
The celebration ended up late at night. The next day, a few of the visitors have left home while the others stayed for 1-2 days.
.........
Xiao Ying rushed to the bathroom just as he sat up on the bed.
Xiao Guang rushed after him.
Morning sickness. Xiao Ying hates it. I mean, who wouldn't? Xiao Guang scooped all his hair hold them with left hand while he gently patted his husband's back with his right hand.
"Ugh... I hate this.."
"I can tell.." Xiao Guang awkwardly said.
After, they both cleaned up and went to eat their breakfast.
Xiao Ying can only eat soft foods because when he ate rice or anything else, he will eventually empty his stomach from those.
"Does the soup made you feel better?"
"Yes.."
Xiao Guang was worried. He knows it is part of the pregnancy but as an Alpha with a pregnant Mate, he can't help it.
"Good morning, gentleman!" Li Hong greeted loudly.
"You're so loud!"
.........
After 8 months, Xiao Ying birthed a healthy baby boy.
The whole people in Xiao Empire cheered after the first cry of the Heir.
Xiao Ying inhaled and exhaled as his body collapsed to the bed. The other servers, who helped, clean him up before they let the Emperor in.
Xiao Guang entered and was welcomed by the smell of blood and sweat, which he expected.
"A-Guang.."
Xiao Guang went to him. "You did it, my bunny."
"I did." Xiao Ying smiled, tired.
"Your Highness, here is the prince!"
When Xiao Guang held his son for the first time, he burst in to tears. Xiao Ying, despite being tired, smiled at them.
"Look at him, bunny! We have a bunny no.2!"
The healers laughed with Xiao Ying. Xiao Guang handed the bundle to Xiao Ying.
"Hello there little one.."
The baby wiggled, trying to get his arms out. Xiao Ying chuckled when the baby finally got his arms out and trying to grab something or someone. Xiao Guang held his index finger to the baby, and he grabbed it with his chubby little hands.
"What do you want to name him, A-ying?"
"Yuan, Xiao Yuan."
.........
The news of the birth of Xiao Yuan spread to every Empires.
Lan Wangji sighed as he stood on his balcony as he watched the moon.
He had heard about the news.
He messed up really bad this time and it will and never can go back.
