Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant

Side Story: Formulation with Child

Pregnant women worked very hard. Ye Mu’s belly this time was especially big. Later, the physician said there could be two babies this time. This made Ye Mu shocked because pigeon pairs generally were hereditary.

But it’s fine, maybe it was a good thing for the male protagonist.

Finally, it was the day of childbirth. Mo Linyuan was outside, anxious; the physician said, because the fetuses were too big, it might be difficult for Ye Mu.

Ye Mu had been inside for a long time and had not moved. Mo Linyuan was torn with anxiety as he watched a tub of watery blood carried out. He then rushed inside without a second thought.

Ye Mu was feeling uncomfortable. And the midwife in this era actually was only to help calm one down.

The person delivering the child told Ye Mu over and over to exert strength. Ye Mu’s face was pale. She didn’t give any reaction when she saw Mo Linyuan come in.

The others seeing that His Majesty the emperor had come in, were all shocked because it had always been considered an unlucky thing when a woman was giving birth, but they had no way to restrain the emperor. When Mo Linyuan came in, he didn’t let them kneel as he sat by Ye Mu’s side.

Seeing Ye Mu sweating all over her body, he thought of an idea. He said unhesitatingly, “We won’t have children anymore.”

Ye Mu was beyond amused hearing this but was hurting too much, she couldn’t laugh.

Mo Linyuan was concerned. He pondered, and then put his hand on Ye Mu’s stomach. He transmitted his internal energy to her.

He didn’t know if it was useful, but he was desperate anyway.

Miraculously, once he did that, Ye Mu relaxed a lot.

Mo Linyuan let out a long relieved sigh. Among the busy servants, he held Ye Mu’s hand and fiercely said to her stomach, “Come out quietly, or you’ll get a good beating after you’re out!”

His tone of scaring the child made Ye Mu burst into a fit of amusement, but whether the two children understood or not, Ye Mu suddenly felt at ease. Before long, the two children were born and were indeed a pigeon pair.

The servants around them grinned from ear to ear, but Mo Linyaun ached for Ye Mu.

Ye Mu’s face was pale, too fatigued. The face that was filled with vigor now looked sickly.

Birthing the crown prince was easy last time and he wasn’t very troubled. This time, however, Ye Mu was in much agony and a lot of blood streamed out, so when the two little children arrived, rather than excited, Mo Linyuan was angry.

But what should be rewarded should be rewarded. Mo Linyuan gave amnesty to the world, letting people know he had another pair of children.

A month later, the little crown prince looked at his white and tender younger brother and sister. He was bewildered.

“Mother, why do they look exactly the same?”

But it was right that the two little babies were cute, it was that kind of cute that made people want to kiss them the moment they caught sight of them.

Ye Mu who was just out of her postpartum confinement smiled as she said, “Because they’re born of the same parents. They will look very similar later.”

The little crown prince nodded in understanding. Because he really liked younger siblings, he told Ye Mu to give him two more.

At this moment, Mo Linyuan came in. Hearing these words, he placed the nutritious soup on one side to cool and told his son, “Childbirth is an arduous task. You can’t let your mother take the trouble because you want younger siblings, understand?”

The crown prince didn’t respond, so Mo Linyuan continued, “Besides, as an elder brother, you have to take care of your younger siblings. This way, mother can relax a little, understand?”

Without realizing it, the crown prince had dug himself into a hole by his father.

He nodded. “You don’t have to worry father! I will take good care of them.”

Mo Linyuan was very satisfied. He waved his big hand. “Good, then these two children will be in your care.”

The little crown prince that was only 11 years old still had not understood what his unscrupulous father meant.

When he turned 18 and finally understood, it was too late.

Every time he was surrounded by his six- or seven-year-old younger siblings asking questions, the crown prince just wanted to hide and cry.

He had to handle his younger siblings’ fights, had to handle his younger siblings’ education, he had to handle all his younger siblings’ basic needs!

Having an unscrupulous father was indeed too painful. Did he think his formidable crown prince could be reduced to a stay-at-home dad? He was still unmarried, this was too much!

Mo Linyuan paid no heed to his son’s wailing. When the time arrived, he brought Ye Mu to start their late honeymoon trip.

Ye Mu would occasionally dream of the modern world. She dreamed of her father, and only when she saw her father’s health and life were great did she feel at ease.

The first stop they went to after leaving the palace was a drizzling Jiangnan.

That day when they arrived at Jiangnan, light rain was pouring from the sky. Countless gentle Jiangnan women walked past them and left a fragrant.

Ye Mu looked at the still elegant Mo Linyuan. Thinking she was already thirty-odd years old and was a mother to three children, she couldn’t help sighing.

“Those women’s eyes were all about to be glued onto your body. Looks like you’re still as elegant as before!”

Who knew Mo Linyuan was more jealous than her. He held her waist tight and resentfully said, “So many men looked at you at the boat. I’m really furious! If you didn’t hold onto me, I would’ve already beat them!”

They actually ignored his murderous look and stole glances at Ye Mu. Thinking about it made him mad!

It couldn’t be helped, not only was Mo Linyuan still attractive, but Ye Mu also became even more mature and beautiful. The childishness on her face had completely shed. She looked like a peerlessly elegant, beautiful woman!

She faintly smiled, eyes wandering about.

“We’re an old married couple, you’re overexaggerating.”

Mo Linyuan tugged Ye Mu into an inn. Still upset, he said, “I’ll let you feel the enthusiasm of an old married couple!”

With this said, he allowed no explanation as he made to bully her, draining the earlier accumulated jealousy onto her body.

Later, they went to many places because previously, there were many things to do for Mo Country. After ten-odd years of accumulation, a lot of places became prosperous. After the crown prince succeeded the throne, this prosperity thrived even more.

Naturally, a lot of vermins also appeared.

But it’s alright, Mo Linyuan’s martial arts skill was peerless. With him alive, Ye Mu could do whatever she wanted. They could always catch bad people and punish them. It would be chaotic like chickens flying and dogs jumping wherever they went, but when they walked, they could receive everyone’s sincere support. The day naturally passed!

Far away in the palace, Mo Yuanqi struggled to read over memorials. Hearing his subordinate’s report, he knew where his parents had gone frolicking. He couldn’t help feeling envious.

Just at this time, his younger brother and sister came. Each of their hands held small refreshments, and they placed them in front of their brother the emperor.

“Brother, here’s something to eat!” The cute and gentle sister soon climbed onto Mo Yuanqi’s lap. His brother Mo Shu fixed his gaze on the memorials on the desk with big eyes.

“Brother, you’re reading over memorials? Looks like a lot of fun.”

Their brother the emperor’s face was not the least bit happy. This kind of thing needed effort and was uninteresting. How was it fun? But he thought of something and looked at his younger brother, eyes gleaming!

“Xiao Shu, how’s your studies?”

Mo Shu deadpanned. “Tutor said my knowledge is not bad, but still need to work hard.”

Brother the emperor revealed a devious smile.

“Then, do you think handling these state affairs is interesting?”

Mo Shu nodded. “In this small room, one can decide the fate of the majority of the people. Brother, I like this feeling!”

“Good!”

The emperor rubbed his head. Smiling, he said, “Maintain this spirit. From tomorrow onward, after you finish classes, come find brother here, brother will teach you how to read memorials!”

“Really?” Mo Shu, who didn’t know he was sold, nodded. “Okay, I’ll come tomorrow!”

Mo Shu thought: When he saw the look of his father and brother when they read through memorials, they had a domineering air. He would soon be like them?

While the unscrupulous little emperor thought: When younger brother could do it, he could abdicate and let his brother take over. Thinking about it, it was a little exciting?

Thinking he could go out and have fun like his father and mother, Mo Yuanqi was excited!

Some years later, learning that elder brother and sister-in-law brought elder sister to play outside, Mo Shu let out a sorrowful sigh. “Not bringing this pitiful brother!”

He read over the memorial while resentfully thinking, looks like it’s time to find a wife. After giving birth to two sons, father and elder brother made him suffer. He couldn’t make them suffer, so he could only make his own children suffer.

Thinking this, he immediately laid down a decree to select talented individuals, but like his father and elder brother, he could also only choose one wife. After this, it became the tradition of Mo’s imperial family. Many people eagerly followed suit, and they noticed that there were fewer women in the concubines’ residence, fewer trouble, and the quality of life rapidly improved, until such that many years later, those noble ladies were unwilling to marry those who wanted to take an additional wife or concubine.

Monogamy then seemed to become the era’s trend.

And that pair of couple that started all of this was still frolicking in the world. They would remain like this for their whole life, happy, until death parts them.
