Chapter 379 Don’t Reject Me
After hearing what Yao Jia said, Xiao Fengyi seemed to feel particularly relaxed and sat back down at the table.
He picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and lightly touched the rice paper with the tip of the brush, but he did not write immediately. Instead, he looked at Yao Jia deeply, as if he wanted to read more from her eyes.
"My dear Nangong, you know that once this marriage decree is issued, you will be disturbed by rumors and gossips, and you may even offend Emperor Xuanyuan. Have you thought about it?"
Yao Jia was calm and raised her head slightly, looking directly at Xiao Fengyi.
"Your Majesty, I am fully aware of the possible consequences of this action. I have my own way to deal with it and will never let this matter become a burden to Daxia."
A hint of appreciation flashed across Xiao Fengyi's eyes. He nodded gently, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, Yaoyao, I won't let anyone bully you."
After saying this, he picked up the brush and wrote freely on the rice paper. Soon, a decree of marriage appeared on the paper.
Before the ink was dry, he looked up at Yao Jia and said, "Come here."
Yao Jia followed instructions and stepped forward, standing beside the desk.
"Come here more."
Yao Jia: “…………”
Then you should stand in front of the dragon throne.
Xiao Fengyi sighed, raised his hand, pulled her sleeve, and pulled her to his side.
"Take a look up there, is there anything missing?"
Yao Jia looked at it carefully and said with a smile, "There is no wedding date yet."
"Then I'll trouble you, Lord Nangong, to make some calculations."
Yao Jia was stunned for a moment, then chuckled. When An He arranged the marriage between her and Wu You, he asked Lin Ruyi to help calculate the wedding date, and the date was so far in the future.
It was really a matter of time. He gently picked up his fingers for a moment and said with a smile, "On the 18th of April next year, the heavenly official will bless you with good things. How about choosing this day?"
"Very good."
Xiao Fengyi looked at her, his narrow and long phoenix eyes full of doting. He handed her a wolf-hair brush and asked her to write it herself.
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate."
"What's wrong with that? It's just you and me, so it's fine."
Yao Jia hesitated for a moment, but finally took the pen and lowered his head to write.
Xiao Fengyi tilted his head and looked at her pretty face, his heart filled with indescribable tenderness.
The afterglow of the setting sun outside the window sprinkled on the tips of her hair, giving her a soft golden edge, adding a touch of gentleness and holiness.
At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and he just wanted to engrave this beauty in his heart forever.
"Your Majesty, I have finished writing it."
Yao Jia handed the pen back respectfully.
He didn't answer.
When I raised my eyes, our eyes met, and I was actually burned by his gaze.
She turned her head to avoid it, her heart was filled with panic, and her body unconsciously moved backwards, but her stomach accidentally rubbed against the corner of the table. She cried out in pain and immediately covered her abdomen with both hands.
"Yaoyao!" Xiao Fengyi's face suddenly changed. He quickly walked around the desk and came to her side in two steps. He carefully supported her, his tone full of anxiety and self-blame, "Are you hurt?"
Yao Jia held her stomach, shook her head, and forced a smile: "It's okay, just a slight bump."
Xiao Fengyi was worried, so he held her waist with one hand and gently stroked her abdomen with the other hand, his eyes full of distress: "Is the child okay?"
Yao Jia felt the warmth of his palm, and her heart warmed. She tried to break free from his hand awkwardly: "Your Majesty, I am fine, you..."
Before she could finish her words, the baby in her belly kicked her, and her brows frowned instantly.
Seeing this, Xiao Fengyi did not dare to be negligent. He directly picked her up and carried her sideways, striding towards the soft couch in the side hall.
"Come here, send the imperial doctor!"
There was unquestionable authority in his voice, which frightened the guards outside the palace and they immediately responded and left.
Xiao Fengyi gently placed Yao Jia on the couch, his movements as gentle as if he was treating a rare treasure, and carefully covered her with a quilt.
Sitting beside the bed, he gently held her hand, trying to bring her some comfort with his body temperature.
Yao Jia wasn't in any serious condition, but the baby in her belly was punching in her uterus as if in protest because of the collision just now, which made her a little worried.
He wanted to reach out to comfort her, but found his hand was held by Xiao Fengyi. He struggled twice but failed to get free.
"Your Majesty, please let go."
Xiao Fengyi was stunned for a moment, then gently loosened his hand, but the tenderness and complexity in his eyes did not disappear.
He took a step back and resumed his former regal demeanor, but those caring phoenix eyes never left her.
"Don't be afraid, the doctor will be here soon."
"Your Majesty, I am actually fine. You don't need to be so nervous."
"You are pregnant, how can you not be careful?"
Xiao Fengyi's tone was somewhat accusatory, but more of it was heartache. "If anything goes wrong, how can I explain to Huaiyu and the entire Nangong Mansion?"
There were hurried footsteps outside the door and Xu Yanlou was hurriedly brought in.
As soon as he saw Yao Jia lying on the couch, he immediately stepped forward to pay his respects, then carefully took her pulse.
After a checkup, a relieved smile appeared on his face: "Pavilion Master Nangong is in good health, and the fetus is fine. The abnormal fetal movement may be due to the uncomfortable position just now, so I just need to move my body."
Xiao Fengyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Please prescribe some prescriptions to calm the nerves and nourish the fetus. Make sure Pavilion Master Nangong and her child are safe."
Xu Yanlou took the order and withdrew.
Hearing that the child is fine, Yao Jia should leave.
He tried to sit up from the couch, but was gently pushed back by Xiao Fengyi: "Rest for a while, I will personally take you back later."
"I can..."
"Yaoyao, don't refuse me. If you have an accident here, I will naturally take full responsibility."
There was unquestionable determination in his tone and his eyes were full of seriousness and concern, which made Yao Jia unable to refuse.
Just as he was about to lie down, the heavy door was pushed open from the outside again.
The hem of his plain white robe fluttered in the wind, and Nanshan, looking exhausted, strode into the hall with big strides.
Behind him was Sihe, who looked anxious.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I cannot stop Mr. Nanshan."
Nanshan's gaze instantly locked onto Yao Jia lying on the couch, and complex emotions flashed through his eyes - worry, anxiety, and a barely perceptible hint of self-blame.
"Yao Yao, how are you?"
He took a few steps at a time and came to the couch, his eyes fixed on Yao Jia who was sitting on the couch.
Seeing Nanshan suddenly appear and ask her this question, Yao Jia naturally thought that he had just met Xu Yanlou and learned that she had a miscarriage.
She stood up directly, gently stroked her pregnant belly, and said with a smile: "I'm fine, it's just that the baby was naughty and kicked me a few times. Sir, do you have something to ask His Majesty?"
Seeing her like this, Nanshan's tense expression eased a little, but he still confirmed it again out of concern.
"Are you really okay? Let me take another look."
As he spoke, he took Yao Jia's hand, gently placed his fingers on her fair wrist, and closed his eyes to concentrate.
The warm touch quickly spread from the wrist to the heart like an electric current. Yao Jia's body stiffened slightly and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
He lowered his head and his eyes fell on those slender white fingertips.
The romantic dream in which they had been lingering with each other suddenly came to mind, and my face couldn't help but feel slightly hot. I glanced away hurriedly, not daring to look again.
Xiao Fengyi stood quietly by the side, his eyes wandering between the two of them, his brows gradually furrowed.
After a moment, Nanshan opened his eyes and his eyes became relieved: "Well, the pulse is stable and the fetus is fine, but you still need to be careful to avoid being disturbed again."
Yao Jia nodded gently, with a blush on her face, and her hands tangled together, like a little girl.
"Thank you for your concern, sir. I will pay attention to it."
"There's no need to talk about this between you and me. Don't go out alone in the future. If you want to do anything, wait until after the baby is born."
"Yes sir, I will pay attention."
Seeing Yao Jia's abnormal behavior, Xiao Fengyi couldn't stand it anymore.
"What kind of accident could happen to her here? Even if there is an accident, I will deal with it in time. You barged in like this, which makes me seem harsh to Yaoyao. I really don't know what identity you have to show such concern."
Xiao Fengyi's voice was not loud, but it was filled with a hint of jealousy that was barely perceptible. His eyes were fixed on Nanshan with a provocative look.
