Seeing Xie Jingyan's expression, as if he wanted to pull her into his arms and beat her up, Shen Wan knew she had said the wrong thing. She bit her chopsticks and looked at Xie Jingyan with an innocent face, which made Xie Jingyan both angry and helpless.

For some reason, the corners of his mouth curled up again. Shen Wan looked at him suspiciously, "What are you laughing at?"

Xie Jingyan said, "I'll tell you tonight."

Is there something you can't tell her now, and have to wait until tonight?

Seeing Xie Jingyan eating with a slight frown, it was clear he didn't like it. This man was exceptionally picky about food, yet he also liked to read military books. Did he know how bad the food was at the border? With his pickiness, he would starve to death on the frontier battlefield.

Well, don't ask her how she knows so much; her dad is a master at curing picky eaters.

She used to be a picky eater, refusing to eat this or that. Her father couldn't bear to scold her, so he used her older brother as an example to cure her picky eating habit.

Although Shen Wan did not approve of Xie Jingyan being a picky eater, she did not want him to eat poorly. "I'll have the kitchen prepare two more of your favorite dishes and send them over."

Haitang immediately went down to give instructions.

Xie Jingyan said, "Just eat it as is."

Among a table full of dishes he didn't like, Xie Jingyan picked two that were passable and barely managed to eat half a meal.

After dinner, Xie Jingyan went to his study. Haitang cleared the dishes, and Shen Wan instructed, "Tell the kitchen to prepare a few more of the dishes the prince likes tonight, and also make some snacks, and take them to the study."

Xie Jingyan took her place during her morning sickness, and for almost two months she ate dishes she used to dislike. Just thinking about it made Shen Wan's heart feel as sweet as honey.

Now that his taste buds have finally returned to normal, I definitely need to make him lots of the dishes he likes.

Shen Wan had a good plan, and the small kitchen had been busy all afternoon. However, things didn't go as planned. To express his gratitude to Xie Jingyan and Yun Qi for saving him, and to Tang Ze and Lu Cheng for visiting him in prison and bringing him meals every day, the Prince of Yanping hosted a dinner at Deyue Tower. As a result, Xie Jingyan didn't have dinner at the mansion.

The small kitchen prepared nine dishes and a soup, which was far too much for Shen Wan to eat by herself. She shared most of it with Yinshuang Haitang and Dong'er, and they all ate with great relish.

Shen Wan slept for almost an hour in the afternoon. Fearing she wouldn't be able to sleep at night, she decided to go for a stroll in the garden after dinner, since it was still early.

Just as she was about to leave, Dong'er came in and said, "Your Highness, Doctor Tao has come to take your pulse."

Shen Wan, “…???”

At this hour, Doctor Tao is not having dinner, so how can he take her pulse?

And I just took her pulse a few days ago.

Although Doctor Tao is in the mansion and it's convenient for him to take pulses, is it really necessary to do it so frequently?

However, since Doctor Tao was coming, Shen Wan would certainly not refuse. Haitang invited Doctor Tao into the house, and Shen Wan sat on the small couch. Doctor Tao took out a small medicine pillow, and Shen Wan placed her wrist on the medicine pillow, letting Doctor Tao take her pulse.

After examining the baby for a while, Doctor Tao said, "The pulse is steady and the fetus is fine. Your Highness can rest assured."

Shen Wan touched her flat, unprotruding belly. Honestly, if it weren't for Dr. Tao's frequent assurances that the fetus was fine, Shen Wan wouldn't have been able to sense the baby's presence at all.

Even if you tell her now that the pregnancy is fake and there was a mistake, she won't doubt it.

As Shen Wan thought this, Doctor Tao spoke up again, "Although the pregnancy is very stable, it is still not advisable to overexert yourself."

Shen Wan, “…???”

She lived a life of ease, with everything done for her. At most, she would take a stroll in the garden once a day. Her life was neither easy nor tiring. Why did Dr. Tao give her such advice?

Doctor Tao didn't say much, and left after taking Ping An's pulse.

Shen Wan wanted to go to the garden, but Yin Shuang and Hai Tang persuaded her to stop, "Your Highness has already spent half the morning in the garden, so it's better not to go. What if you get tired?"

Shen Wan raised her hand and tapped Yin Shuang's forehead, "I'm only three months pregnant. How could walking such a short distance tire me out? I'll need to walk more in the later stages to make delivery easier."

The fourth wife and the second wife, Yun, had both taught Shen Wan. Yin Shuang and Hai Tang were present at the time and heard everything clearly.

Yinshuang said, "Doctor Tao specifically instructed that the Princess must be a little tired, so she shouldn't go to the garden today. She can go tomorrow. Besides, it's getting late."

Shen Wan glanced out the window; the sunset was magnificent, captivating all who looked at it.

Shen Wan didn't go to the garden, but instead enjoyed the sunset in the yard. Yin Shuang said, "It would be nice if there was a swing in the yard. Sitting on the swing and enjoying the sunset would be so pleasant."

This suggestion struck a chord with Shen Wan: "Have Steward Zhou bring people to build a swing tomorrow."

Silver Frost nodded vigorously.

Shen Wan admired the sunset in the courtyard for a while before returning to her room as it got dark.

After reading for a while, Yinshuang and Haitang brought hot water, and Shenwan got up to take a bath. Just then, a familiar sound of footsteps came from behind her.

Xie Jingyan is back.

He walked in, and before he even got close, a strong smell of alcohol hit the nose.

Shen Wan looked at him and asked, "How much did you drink?"

Xie Jingyan put his arm around Shen Wan's waist and said, "She didn't drink much, just half a jar."

For someone who can get quite drunk after just one cup, half a jar of wine is an unthinkable amount. However, Xie Jingyan's taste has returned to normal, so his alcohol tolerance should have returned as well. For him, half a jar of wine is really not much.

Yinshuang and Haitang were still behind the screen, being held like this. Shen Wan, who was shy, couldn't stand it and said in a low voice, "Let me go, I want to take a bath."

Xie Jingyan breathed into her ear, "Together?"

The hot breath sprayed onto my neck, making it tingle and itch.

That bastard.

He drank half a jar of wine and then started flirting with her when he got back.
