Chapter 301 Conditioning

"What kind of girl is so desperate to marry someone like this?"

She pouted and left angrily.

"Li Huaiyan is going to get married?"

Hearing Xiao Tian's question, the servant frowned slightly, "I haven't left the house these days, so I haven't heard about it."

Xiao Tian said nothing, turned his head and glanced at the servant calmly, and immediately bowed, "I will go and ask when we get back to the mansion."

…

In the evening, the servant's investigation yielded results.

"Ms. Zheng?"

"That's right." The servant glanced at Xiao Tian's face cautiously, thinking in his heart that the girl from the Zheng family was really blind. She gave up being the Fifth Prince's wife and would rather hang herself and marry a playboy. She must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.

"It is said that at the Duke's Mansion banquet, the two fell in love at first sight and got married."

Xiao Tian clasped his hands in front of him and did not speak for a long time.

Any man would feel angry and uncomfortable after hearing such news. The servant lowered his head, fearing that the anger would affect himself.

"You should leave now."

The servant left immediately as if he had been pardoned.

"Zheng, family." Xiao Tian uttered these two words softly, with a hint of curve on his lips.

He is a minister, but all the tricks are plotted against him. It's really good.

If the Emperor had not intended to grant the marriage, perhaps there would not have been that banquet. Without that banquet, how could my eldest brother... have died?

When the moon was above the willows, the door of the study was opened. Xiao Tian raised his head and glanced at the dark sky with a cold and dead silence in his eyes.

"Someone come."

Madam Shen found a female doctor and brought Mo Xiang back.

Shen Anan waited nervously for the female doctor to finish taking my pulse, and immediately asked, "How am I, is there anything wrong?"

"Princess, your pulse is steady and strong, you are in good health and have no pain."

The words were exactly the same as those of the imperial physician. Shen Anan didn't know whether she should be relieved or feel helpless.

Mo Xiang asked the key question for her, "If there is no problem, then why hasn't the princess gotten pregnant?"

The eldest son and the young mistress will get married a little later and they will both have little masters.

"This..." The female doctor paused, then said, "Pregnancy cannot be rushed. Some people get pregnant easily, while others need a certain amount of time. Perhaps the prince's wife is not yet destined to have children."

The doctor spoke very tactfully.

"Do you have any way to assist?" Shen Anan asked.

She couldn't explain what was going on in her mind, but now she was very anxious and desperately wanted to use pregnancy and childbirth to prove that there was really nothing wrong with her body.

"Okay, I'll prescribe a few doses of medicine for you to drink before you have sex. But if you want to get pregnant, don't worry too much. You look tired, so I think you have something on your mind, which is not conducive to pregnancy."

"Okay, I understand." Shen Anan told Mo Xiang to follow the female doctor to boil the medicine.

These days, due to her memory and physical condition, her schedule has been unstable and she feels depressed. She knows that this is not good for her health, but she cannot control it.

She slowly began to feel afraid; the booklet could no longer fill her empty head and anxious heart.

＊

It was already past dinner time when Xiao Yuan returned.

He pushed open the door, but did not see Shen Anan. He could not help but frowned slightly. Just as he was about to ask where Prince Mo Xiang's wife had gone, he heard the sound of water splashing behind the screen.

He turned and walked towards the screen.

The woman's slender figure was projected onto the screen, floating slightly, sinking and rising back and forth with the sound of water.

Xiao Yuan's throat rolled. Perhaps it was his own imagination. He felt that the figure was more and more enchanting. He had the urge to push over the screen.

He followed his heart and walked in.

Shen Anan was half lying in the bathtub. When she heard the noise, she opened her eyes and looked at him. Her clear almond eyes were a little hazy under the mist.

"You're back?"

Xiao Yuan took off his outer robe, threw it on the screen, and sank into the bathtub with her, "Madam seduced me."

Shen Anan blinked, raised her arm and hooked it around Xiao Yuan's neck, "I'm going to the bed."

“It’s the same here.”

"I won't." She insisted. Xiao Yuan had no choice but to clean them both, put on his shirt and carried her back to the bed.

Shen Anan hooked her arms around his neck and refused to let go. Xiao Yuan leaned over and kissed her warm lips. The moment their breaths blended, his eyes sank and he paused slightly.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at the medicine bowl on the table that he had not yet put away. He smiled and shook his head, "Nothing."

All medicines are poisonous. Drinking too much will always harm your body, but he didn't dare to mention it, for fear that she would feel uncomfortable.

He restrained his expression and lowered his body slightly.

"An An, don't be afraid, I'm always with you."

"Um."

＊

On the day of Li Huaiyan's wedding, Shen Anan was woken up by Mo Xiang early in the morning to dress up. She sat in front of the dressing table, dozing off with her eyes half closed.

Mo Xiang snickered and teased, "Princess, you look so tired. Did you not get enough rest last night?"

Shen Anan raised her eyelids and glanced at Mo Xiang, "You are so brave now that you dare to tease me. I will marry you tomorrow, and it will save someone from waiting so long every day."

"What someone? I don't understand what you are saying." Mo Xiang's face turned red, causing Mo Ran, who was making the bed, to chuckle. She turned around and glared at him with dissatisfaction.

"You followed the princess in bullying me."

Mo Ran looked innocent, "Weren't you the one who teased the princess first?"

“…”

"But what the princess said makes sense. Qing'an has been running to Wutong Garden every day these days. He comes here for every little thing. I think you should give him a definite answer as soon as possible, otherwise he will get sick."

"It's all nonsense." Mo Xiang stamped her feet fiercely. "You are the only one who likes to exaggerate things that don't exist."

Seeing that she was really getting angry, Mo Ran stopped laughing.

Shen Anan glanced at Mo Xiang in the bronze mirror, thinking that it was indeed time to put the matter between the two of them on the agenda.

A butterfly suddenly flew in from the window lattice, and fluttered back and forth in front of the dressing table as if it couldn't find its way. Shen Anan stared at the butterfly, and suddenly stood up and pounced on it, scaring Mo Xiang.

"Princess Princess."

Shen Anan caught the butterfly in her arms and hugged herself tightly, as if she was afraid that the butterfly would suddenly fly away. She turned around and blinked at Mo Xiang.

Mo Xiang's eyes suddenly felt sore, and he walked forward cautiously to look for the butterfly in Shen Anan's arms.

Shen Anan loosened his grip slightly, and the butterfly suddenly flew away from below, flapping its wings and flying out at an extremely fast speed. A flash of disappointment crossed Shen Anan's face.

"Princess, your husband is here to pick you up." Mo Xiang said hurriedly. Shen Anan turned around and saw Xiao Yuan standing in the yard. She smiled again and ran towards him.

"Are you leaving?"

Xiao Yuan nodded, took her hand and walked out of the mansion.
