Quick Transmigration: The Pregnant Little Fairy is Pampered by the Heirless Boss

Chapter 426 The Little Doctor Girl Knows How to Pamper and Flirt (Part 21)

On their wedding night, the military camp was as lively as ever.

The soldiers took turns offering toasts, and the Emperor accepted them all, drinking cup after cup until he was completely drunk, but his eyes never left Ji Xiaosong, who was sitting on the wedding bed.

"General, you'd better take it easy tonight!" The lieutenant drunkenly patted Si Di on the shoulder and winked, "Madam is pregnant now!"

Si Di's eyes darkened, and the wine glass in his hand cracked with a "crack".

The lieutenant sobered up considerably immediately, and with an embarrassed laugh, he backed away, saying, "This humble general misspoke, this humble general will leave now..."

After the last soldier who had been making a ruckus in the bridal chamber was escorted out by the guards, the tent finally returned to quiet.

The red candles burned brightly, illuminating Ji Xiaosong's beautiful face.

Si Di stood in front of the bed, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, his gaze so intense it almost melted her.

“General…” Ji Xiaosong’s cheeks flushed as he looked at her, and her fingers unconsciously tightened around the hem of her wedding dress.

Si Di suddenly knelt on one knee in front of the bed, took her hand and kissed it lightly: "Still call me General?"

His voice was deep and hoarse, carrying a hint of alcohol, which made Ji Xiaosong's heart tremble.

"Husband...husband..." she whispered, her voice barely audible.

Si Di's eyes darkened suddenly, and he leaned forward abruptly, but stopped abruptly halfway.

He took a deep breath and gently pecked her lips: "The army doctor said we need to be extra careful during the first three months."

Ji Xiaosong looked at his taut jawline and couldn't help but chuckle: "Can my husband hold back?"

Si Di narrowed his eyes dangerously, suddenly picked her up and strode towards the bed: "Little thing, are you provoking me?"

He gently placed her on the wedding bed, while he lay on his side beside her, supporting his head with one hand and carefully stroking her still flat stomach with the other.

"I have plenty of patience." His fingertips lingered on her waist, but he dared not move downwards. "After you give birth safely..."

The unspoken words culminated in a deep kiss, tender and passionate yet utterly restrained.

Ji Xiaosong could feel the tension in his body and the suppressed desire.

"My lord, you don't need to hold back..." she whispered, blushing. "The army doctor said... it's okay to be gentle..."

Si Di's breath hitched, then he gave her a light bite on the side of her neck as punishment: "Don't tempt me."

His voice was hoarse and barely audible. "I'm afraid I won't be able to control my strength."

After saying that, he suddenly stood up, strode to the bathtub, and immersed himself directly in the cold water.

Ji Xiaosong looked at his retreating figure, feeling both heartache and sweetness.

After a long while, Si Di returned, covered in sweat, wearing only a single garment that revealed his muscular chest.

He lifted the quilt and lay down, carefully pulling Ji Xiaosong into his arms.

"Sleep now." He gently kissed the top of her head. "Tonight, holding you like this is enough."

Ji Xiaosong leaned against his strong chest, listening to his still-beating heart, and whispered, "Husband, I am very happy."

Si Di tightened his arms around her and whispered in her ear, "This is just the beginning. After you give birth, I will show you what a real wedding night is like."

Outside the tent, the soldiers were still celebrating, and the sounds of clinking cups could be faintly heard.

Inside the tent, red candles burned quietly, illuminating the newlyweds as they slept in each other's arms.

Si Di's large hand remained protectively on Ji Xiaosong's lower abdomen, as if guarding the entire world.

That night, though there was no passionate lovemaking, it was more moving than any other tender moment.

Beneath the restraint lies a deeper love;

Beneath the surface of restraint lies the most fervent anticipation.

On the third day after their marriage, Ji Xiaosong couldn't contain herself and wanted to go to the field to check on the growth of the dryland wheat.

Emperor Si initially disagreed, but he couldn't resist her persistent pleading. In the end, he coldly draped the cloak over her and personally accompanied her to the nearest Li Family Village.

The dryland wheat in the North typically takes four months from sowing to harvest.

However, the improved variety that Ji Xiaosong took out from the spiritual field in the space grew much faster than ordinary wheat varieties.

It has only been two months since the wheat was planted, and the wheat seedlings have already sprouted ears of grain. The heavy ears of wheat sway in the wind, and from a distance, they are a golden expanse.

Since the wheat began to sprout, the people of the thirteen border villages have been guarding this golden wheat field as if it were their own eyes.

As dawn broke, Old Man Wang from Lijia Village carried his hoe to the edge of the field, squinting his dim old eyes to carefully inspect each ear of wheat.

"Dad, go back and rest. We're here!" Wang Dazhu, the son, advised helplessly.

"What rest?!" Old Wang glared. "These wheat seeds were obtained by the General's wife with her life! Even if I die, I will make sure they are safely stored in the granary!"

On the ridge of a field not far away, five- or six-year-old children lined up, each holding a wooden stick with tattered strips of cloth tied to it, patrolling in a serious manner.

The leader, Tiger, was only seven years old, but he solemnly lectured, "Everyone, pay attention! Yesterday, three sparrows flew into the field at the east end, and I chased them away with my slingshot!"

This is the scene that Ji Xiaosong and Si Di saw when they rode by on horseback.

"The lady is here!" someone shouted, and the field immediately erupted in excitement.

The villagers swarmed around Ji Xiaosong, surrounding her completely.

"Madam, look!" The Li family's daughter-in-law held up a handful of heavy ears of wheat, wiping away tears of excitement. "These grains are so plump! My husband says that one mu of land can yield more than three shi!"

"Madam, try this!" Aunt Zhang pulled a melon still glistening with dew from her basket. "It's homegrown, and incredibly sweet!"

"And this!" The little girl from the Liu family timidly handed over a pair of insoles embroidered with twin lotus blossoms. "My mother embroidered them. She said that since Madam is pregnant, wearing these insoles will make walking less tiring..."

Ji Xiaosong's eyes welled up with tears, and she was about to decline when Si Di accepted it on her behalf: "We accept Madam's kind gesture."

He turned to Ji Xiaosong and whispered, "The people on the border value relationships the most; refusing their money would only hurt them."

Just then, Tiger led a group of children to the front, looked up at them, and said loudly, "Madam! When I grow up, I want to be a great general and protect you and Wheat Field!"

Ji Xiaosong squatted down and gently wiped the mud off Hu Zi's face: "Good boy, now you need to eat well and grow taller quickly."

"Yes!" Tiger nodded emphatically. "I eat two bowls of rice every day!"

The villagers burst into laughter, their voices echoing through the wheat fields.

As night deepened, the wheat fields were still dotted with twinkling torches.

Three able-bodied young men from each village take turns patrolling the field ridges, carrying lanterns.

"Everyone stay alert!" the patrol captain of Lijia Village whispered, "Those scoundrels, Liu Xiang, might cause trouble again at any time!"

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from afar.

"Who?!" the captain shouted, and more than a dozen torches immediately converged on the source of the sound.

A small, thin figure emerged from the bushes.

It turned out to be Tiger.

"You brat! What are you doing here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?" The captain glared angrily.

Hu Zi, carrying a small bundle, said confidently, "I'm bringing food to the uncles! The pancakes my mom made are still warm!"

The captain's nose tingled with emotion, and he squatted down to pat Tiger's head: "Good lad..."

Just then, the sound of horses' hooves came from the edge of the field.

"General?!"

Si Di reined in his horse, looked at the scene before him, and his cold and stern eyes softened a little: "You've worked hard."

Behind him, Ji Xiaosong, wearing a cloak, dismounted from his horse, carrying a food box: "I brought some dried meat and hot soup, everyone eat while it's hot."

The patrolling men stood there helplessly, their eyes red-rimmed.

The captain knelt down with a thud: "Madam, you're pregnant, and this is the middle of the night..."

"I'm fine." Ji Xiaosong smiled and helped him up. "But you guys, you can't even get a good night's sleep because you're protecting these wheat crops."

Si Di stood aside, watching his little wife being surrounded by a group of rough men who were showing her concern and care. He felt both bittersweet and warm inside.

He knew that these people truly loved and respected her.

Just like him.

Having learned from his previous experience, Liu Xiang tried many methods this time but failed.

Until the day the dryland wheat is harvested...
