…

North City.

The cold wind was as sharp as a sword, whistling so hard that it could indeed blow through a person's skin.

Qi Yuan'an had long been accustomed to such days, but in winter he became a little lazy and always wanted to indulge in some soft and fragrant things.

When I entered Aping's room, I saw her embroidering a black round-necked robe with a lifelike tiger on it.

"Your Highness." A Ping stood up and saluted.

Qi Yu'an hugged Ah Ping into his arms and chuckled softly, "You've become a lot plumper since winter."

When Ping first came, it was during a time of famine. She was very skinny and had little flesh on her body. Later, she finally gained some weight, but after she lost her child, she lost weight again. Now she is getting plumper.

Ah Ping's face is like a silver moon, and she would look better if she were a little plumper.

Ah Ping said in Qi Yu'an's arms: "I don't know why, but lately I've been sleepy and hungry, and my stomach is also uncomfortable..."

Hearing about the love of sleep and eating, Qi Yu'an's eyes lit up, "Could it be that you are pregnant?"

Ah Ping looked at Qi Yuan in surprise. Counting the days, it seemed like her period had already passed for a few days. Ah Ping didn't know whether to be happy or sad. Qi Yuan was going to marry the princess. Could the princess tolerate his illegitimate son before the marriage?

Qi Yu'an repeatedly said to the outside: "Please ask for a doctor."

When the old doctor arrived, after checking Ah Ping's pulse, he stroked his beard and said to Qi Yu'an, "Your Highness, I am only good at treating injuries caused by falls, swords, and knives. I feel Miss Ping's pulse, and it seems to be slippery, but I can't be sure. Perhaps it's because she's been pregnant for a short time..."

When Ping heard what the old doctor said, she didn't know whether she was looking forward to the arrival of the child or not.

Qi Yu'an will marry a princess soon. When the new princess gets married, her concubine is already pregnant. Can the new princess accept this?

Qi Yuan'an was extremely happy. There were only him and his sister in the Qi family, and he had been looking forward to having a child for a long time.

Regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, at least the Qi family is no longer just him and his sister.

Qi Yu'an instructed the auntie that Ping brought with her, "Please trouble Auntie to take good care of Ping. This baby must be well protected."

When the nanny heard that Ping might be pregnant, her eyes were filled with relief. "Yes, Your Highness, I will take good care of you, Madam."

Qi Yu'an reached out and gently stroked A Ping's belly. "A Ping, do you like a daughter or a son?"

Ah Ping said softly, "Let's have a daughter. If we give birth to a bastard son, it won't be fair to the prince and his future princess. No woman can willingly endure her husband having a bastard son before marriage..."

Qi Yu'an frowned slightly, "Yes, my daughter is good. You are so spoiled, your son can't follow you. You should have a good rest. I will rest in the front yard today."

Ah Ping looked at Qi Yu'an's back and sighed, "Aunt, is the prince angry again? He said I was spoiled, but isn't he angry every day?"

Mammy sighed and said, "Pingping, you shouldn't have mentioned the future princess just now."

Ah Ping laughed at herself and said, "There will always be a princess."
