"I'm pregnant."
Simultaneously, the men in the room choked on their meal including the announcer's husband of three months. Ashina Sun turned to his wife bewildered as her mother smiling knowingly while Li Shimin sat there stiff as stone at the news.
Chang Ge with child. Chang Ge with child. Chang Ge with child. Chang Ge with child. Chang Ge with child. Chang Ge with child. Chang Ge with child. ChangGewithchild. ChangGewithchild.Chang Ge with child. ChangGewithchild.
The thought repeated over and over in the emperor's head like a mantra. A crazy delusional mantra.
That meant...
The Tang emperor then stood up glaring at Sun who in turn glared back before standing up and leaving the room with the Tang emperor. Both knew what the other wanted.
A fight.
Battle was a man's forte after all.
As was their irrationality

regrets

There weren't many things Ashina Sun regretted, but this was one of them.
The blood on the cough made him feel like a dao was lodging his body cutting deeper and deeper into his flesh.
Her calming expression was somewhat irritating.
How could she be so calm if she's so ill?
A part of Ashina Sun had to admit that that was one of the things he found reassuring about her. Yet a part of him was infuriated by the fact that she did not tell him of this illness.
Weren't they friends after all?

out of boundaries

Extravagant parties weren't the couple's cup of tea, but the Empress of Tang in all her blonde glory insisted that it was the way to celebrate their union as husband and wife.
Ashina Sun's nose crunched up at the heavy palpable fragrances that the court ladies were exhibiting as he sat next to Chang Ge, who would much rather prefer to be back in her study reading up on the Khitan's customs, because it was the least she could do after dragged her husband into the palace like a young boy squirming to get out of a flagging or three, and on the up side they were forced to dance in front of everyone.
She had seen Ashina Sun dance before, albeit he was drunk at the time.
But still a horrible dancer no matter if he was drunk or not.
Sipping another cup of rice wine hastily, Ashina Sun glanced to her wife conveying his desperate need to get out lest he chuck his cup at the Emperor. With a small nod Chang Ge leaned towards her mother sitting on the opposite side of her. "Mother, Sun and I would..."
"Like some alone time?" Ah-Jin wiggled her eye brows suggestively as Chang Ge ignored the implication, though it would pop up in her mind later that evening incurring a pretty red blush dusting her cheeks, "Just a breath of fresh air. It's getting a little too stuffy."
Ah-Jin nodded in understanding, after all it was like that for her when she first came to court. "Of course, dear. Take all the time you need."
Chang Ge and Ashina Sun stood up and hastily went to the doors, not before the Empress of Tang shouted out for all to hear, "Don't forget to consumate your marriage while you're out there!"
With red faces and ears the couple sought out temporary relief outside the party.
