Shen Qingqiu: Congrats

Shen Qingqiu: You know, I've always wondered how you two decide who will carry the baby

Shang Qinghua: Oh, it's simple. My king and I play rock paper scissors, and whoever loses carries the baby

Shen Qingqiu: Wait, you haven't been pregnant yet. What are the odds of that?

Shang Qinghua: It has nothing to do with odds. My king isn't good at the game and always goes for rock, so I win every time

Shen Qingqiu: Don't you feel ashamed for taking advantage of your huband

Shang Qinghua: Of course not, I don't feel shame at all!

Shen Qingqiu: Figures

Meanwhile

Mobei-Jun: Qinghua and I are having another child

Luo Binghe: Neat

Luo Binghe: Come to think, I've always wondered how you two decide who carries the baby

Mobei-Jun: Qinghua introduced a game called 'rock paper scissors', I don't know the details about the game, but rock seems like the optimal choice, and every time I use it I win

Luo Binghe: And he hasn't caught on?

Luo Binghe: Shizun... I will do anything! Even if I don't like it!

Shen Qingqiu: Ok, I need our relationship to be monogamous, so no marrying others

Luo Binghe: ...

Luo Binghe: YEEESSSS!!!!

Luo Binghe, to Liu Qingge and Yue Qingyuan: SUCK IT!!!

Luo Binghe, running around the peak: THIS IS THE BEST NEWS EVER!!!

Now that I think of it, thank god SJ did not have access to the internet. He would have been a menace, more than SY ever could.

HONHONHON it be comic drop time! I did this one well over a year ago for the DLC zine, so I'm happy I finally get to share!

For those who might be interested, the edict in the cover reads as follows:

It is on this day of the 20th year of the Black Dragon¹, that your majesty Mobei Jun informs all of the most joyous news: The Northern Kingdom is to receive it's new consort, the most excellent and virtuous An Ding Peak Lord, Shang Qinghua. And decrees that on this very day, in all years to come, all shall learn to celebrate as the Day of the Midnight Sun, in honor of all the new glory brought fort to the North by this fated union.

¹.The 'Black Dragon' is the emperor title I give lbh -so every time I use it in comics, it's in reference to how long he's been in power as the emperor hehe
