Chương 444: Sweet Plum's Second Night

Liu Ce smiled and pulled her into his arms, lowering his head to kiss her forehead, comforting her:

"Silly girl, don't be nervous, relax, I'm here."

Ganmei nestled in his arms, listening to his gentle voice and feeling the warmth of his embrace, and her tension instantly dissipated by more than half.

She nodded obediently and responded softly:

"good......"

Then everything was ready.

Liu Ce looked down at her and suddenly froze.

Ganmei's nightgown was slightly open, revealing a patch of white snow.

Liu Ce glanced down and then froze.

He blinked, then blinked again, to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

Then he looked up, his face filled with shock, as if to say, "You've been hiding this well!" His voice even rose slightly involuntarily.

"Mei'er, you actually have... white skin?"

Gan Mei followed his gaze and looked down. Her face flushed red from her ears to her forehead, even the tips of her ears turned pink.

She quickly buried her face in Liu Ce's chest, her voice barely audible, muttering shyly and embarrassedly:

"Husband... this... this is a family heirloom!"

Liu Ce paused for two seconds, then burst into laughter, his shoulders shaking with laughter.

(Liu Ce (ಡωಡ): +Attack Speed) He held Ganmei even tighter and whispered in her ear:

"Silly girl, this is a good thing, why are you shy? It's a family heirloom, it's very good."

Ganmei was so ashamed that she didn't dare to look up, and simply buried her face even deeper.

The flickering red candle cast their shadows on the curtains, creating an incredibly tender scene.

Liu Ce's movements were gentler than the night before, soothing her tension little by little.

Gan Mei was even more shy than Mi Zhen, her face was red the whole time, and she didn't even dare to open her eyes.

But she didn't resist at all; on the contrary, she was very obedient.

He told her to relax, and she tried to adjust her breathing; he kissed her, and she closed her eyes, responding awkwardly.

When the two fell onto the bed in each other's arms, Gan Mei stretched out her arms and hugged Liu Ce tightly, as if she wanted to melt into his body and completely surrender herself to the man in front of her.

Even though she was blushing with shyness and breathing very softly, she cooperated with him the whole time, her eyes and heart filled with his image.

The curtains fell, blocking out the warm light that filled the room, and also concealing the tender affection within.

Soft moans mingled with gentle whispers, echoing in the quiet bedroom.

A night of passionate lovemaking, a truly exhilarating experience, and finally... Ganmei visited Gaohu...

Once everything calmed down, Gan Mei nestled in Liu Ce's arms, her little hands tightly gripping his clothes. Listening to his strong heartbeat, her nose tingled, and she almost burst into tears.

She had never felt such peace and tenderness before, and now she had finally found her own home.

She looked up and gently kissed Liu Ce's chin, her voice soft and full of dependence as she said:

"My husband, from now on, Mei'er will depend entirely on you."

Liu Ce smiled and tightened his arms around her, holding her even closer. He lowered his head and kissed the top of her head, whispering:

"Silly girl, this is your home from now on, and I'll be your support. No one will dare to bully you anymore."

......

For the next three months, Liu Ce lived a life of "pain and pleasure".

During the day, he occasionally handles some administrative affairs, inspects military camps, and meets with officials.

But most of his time was "divided up" by the ladies, one would call him to admire the flowers, another to have tea, and yet another to go shopping.

The evenings are quite busy.

In the evenings, they would take turns visiting the rooms of Cai Yan, Zhang Ning, Ren Hongchang, Du Xiuniang, Zou Yu, Zhen Jiang, Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, Zhen Rong, Zhen Mi, He Lian, Mi Zhen, Gan Mei, Yin Ying, Feng Yu, and Cai Wanfu, and take good care of them.

During their intimate moments, Liu Ce did not take any precautions for his wife, who wanted a child.

He also respects the choices of those who do not want the product or service at the moment.

Although Liu Ce's "golden kidney" was powerful, it couldn't withstand the large number of people.

Every evening, he would wander through the ladies' courtyards, as if he were rushing from one market to another.

Fortunately, he was full of energy. Instead of being completely drained, he became more and more energetic and radiant.

While in the front yard, even Guo Jia couldn't help but tease:

"My lord, you look even better than if you had won a battle."

Liu Ce laughed and scolded, "Get lost, what business is it of yours whether I look well or not?"

...

Cai Yan couldn't help but ask him one day, "Husband, you're so busy every night, how come you seem to be getting more and more energetic?"

Liu Ce replied in a serious tone, "That's called innate talent; you can't envy that."

Zhang Ning rolled her eyes: "My husband is so shameless."

Liu Ce laughed heartily and said, "Being thick-skinned is also a talent."

The ladies gradually got used to this kind of life.

During the day, the sisters would get together to play cards and chat, and at night they would wait for their husbands to come.

If it was Liu Ce's turn to go to his courtyard, he would start preparing during the day and dress up beautifully at night to wait for him.

The atmosphere in the backyard was incredibly harmonious.

As the principal wife, Cai Yan arranged everything perfectly.

She knows who is on duty on which day, who is unwell and needs to rest, and who wants to have another child.

The ladies were also considerate of each other and never quarreled or got jealous.

Zhang Ning sometimes joked, "Husband, rushing around to so many events every night, it must be more tiring than fighting in the war back then, right?"

Liu Ce laughed heartily and said, "Fighting a war is fighting others, this is loving your own wife, how can they be the same?"

Upon hearing this, all the ladies burst into laughter.

......

Three months later.

AD 191, October.

In the backyard of the Prince of Yan's mansion in Luoyang, the two legendary physicians, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, were invited into the mansion.

They took the pulses of each of the ladies one by one, keeping them busy for the entire morning.

After taking the last pulse, Hua Tuo stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to Liu Ce, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations! All sixteen of your wives are pregnant!"

Zhang Zhongjing nodded in agreement, saying, "The pulse is stable, and the baby is in the correct position. Your Highness, please rest assured, the lady and the children are both well."

After hearing this, Liu Ce was stunned for two seconds.

Then, he slapped his thigh and burst into laughter: "Great! Great! They're all pregnant! That's wonderful!"

He looked at the ladies one by one: Cai Yan, Zhang Ning, Ren Hongchang, Du Xiuniang, Zou Yu, Zhen Jiang, Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, Zhen Rong, Zhen Mi, He Lian, Mi Zhen, Gan Mei, Yin Ying, Feng Yu, and Cai Wan. Sixteen faces, sixteen smiles, sixteen pairs of eyes, some calm, some excited, and some with tears in their eyes.

Cai Yan, Zhang Ning, Ren Hongchang, Du Xiuniang, Zou Yu, Zhen Jiang, Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, Zhen Rong, and Zhen Mi, these ten women who already had children, were relatively calm.

They looked at each other, smiled and nodded, their eyes full of relief.

He Lian, Mi Zhen, Gan Mei, Yin Ying, Feng Yu, and Cai Wan, who had never had children before, were so moved that tears streamed down their faces.

He Lian covered her mouth, her eyes red-rimmed.

She had never imagined that she could have another child.

Now, she finally has Liu Ce's child, and her heart is filled with mixed emotions.

He Lian's eyes reddened as she touched her belly and murmured, "My baby... I'm finally pregnant again..."
