Chapter 317 The Empress is three months pregnant, but the Emperor is extremely worried!

"Rouge, stop teasing the child."

"Why have you become so naughty?"

Xiao Xingyuan looked at Meng Yanzhi with a wry smile, pinched her cheek, and the two of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Haiqing was truly envious of the interaction between the two. When he was at home, the entire palace was cold and indifferent. His father and mother were always cold and distant when they met. There were very few times when they were so lively and warm.

After the meal, Xiao Xingyuan arranged for his men to secretly escort Hai Qing back.

Of course he knew that he could get a lot of benefits by keeping the person in his hands, but taking advantage of the situation would only offend the Tatars. It would be better to release the person and let them go. They would have to accept the favor later, whether they wanted to or not!

Before leaving, Haiqing was a little reluctant to part with Meng Yanzhi, and promised that he would personally take the gold to work hard in the future to properly thank Meng Yanzhi.

Watching the child's departing figure, Xiao Xingyuan said with some dissatisfaction, "I negotiated the price, and I bought the child. Why does he only know how to thank you? He didn't even say thank you to me?"

"You're going to fuss over this?" Meng Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xingyuan with a mix of amusement and exasperation. "When did you become so petty?"

"I am stingy!" Xiao Xingyuan snorted. "This kid, young but with a lot of thoughts, I noticed he kept staring at you, could it be that..."

Meng Yanzhi now understands that any man, regardless of age, who appears by her side will make her unhappy.

Left with no other choice, Meng Yanzhi could only cup his face and kiss him repeatedly: "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go back and rest. We still have a long journey ahead tomorrow!"

On the other side, Cangshui finally managed to shake off Xiao Ce and his men, and rode at full speed all the way to catch up with the couple as quickly as possible.

They thought they would never catch up, but to their surprise, it took them a full six months to even enter the capital.

This progress only fueled Cang Shui's suspicions, prompting him to consider the true purpose of these two people's visit to Canglan Kingdom.

He didn't have time to think about it alone, and rushed back to the capital overnight.

King Canglan felt a pang of heartache when he saw his son return, travel-worn and weary from his journey: "Why were you in such a hurry?"

"Father, I find it strange that the Emperor and Empress of Daqian are still at the border. Why is that?" Cangshui, without even taking a sip of water, sat down and looked at Canglan King with a worried expression.

King Canglan was old, almost seventy years old, and his spirits were failing. He waved his hand and said indifferently, "I don't know what they want to do, but since they've come, we can't just send them away, can we?"

"Alright, don't worry about it so much. Go and get some rest." King Canglan waved his hand and got up to go to sleep.

Watching Canglan King's retreating figure, Cangshui's eyes reddened with heartache. Her father was simply too old, and he could no longer keep up with the times in many ways.

But unfortunately...

Zang Shui sighed, somewhat helplessly.

King Canglan is old, but his ambition remains the same. He doesn't care about anything else and only wants to expand his territory.

Ten days later.

Xiao Xingyuan and his party finally arrived at the capital city and the post station there.

They were not in a hurry to enter the palace; they simply rested and recuperated at the post station.

Having eaten and drunk her way along the way, Meng Yanzhi felt as if she had gained quite a bit of weight. She pinched her stomach and said, "A Yuan, have I gained weight? I've been eating more and more lately!"

Have you gained weight?

Upon seeing Meng Yanzhi's waist, Xiao Xingyuan immediately summoned the imperial physician to treat her!

After carefully taking her pulse, the imperial physician knelt on the ground and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is three months pregnant."

"What did you say!"

Meng Yanzhi stared wide-eyed in disbelief. She had thought that Xiao Xingyuan and she were both struggling to have children, and that having even one child was already a great blessing. She never imagined that they would be so fortunate.

"Yes, the pulse is strong; it must be a young prince!"

Congratulations, Your Majesty!

The imperial physician also happily reported the situation.

"good!"

"A generous reward!"

Xiao Xingyuan waved his hand in satisfaction, then put his arm around Meng Yanzhi's shoulder.

"Rouge, we're going to have another baby."

"You're pregnant! That's wonderful!"

Meng Yanzhi leaned against Xiao Xingyuan with a sweet smile and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, we're about to have a son. Having both a son and a daughter is such a blessing!"

"Very good."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of you. I will take care of you personally and make sure you give birth to this child safely."

Xiao Xingyuan looked at Meng Yanzhi with excitement on his face.

Meng Yanzhi smiled gently and kissed him: "Yes, I will give birth to this child safely, and we will raise this child together!"

As he said this, Xiao Xingyuan reached out and gently touched Meng Yanzhi's lower abdomen.

"Rouge, I'm sorry, I cannot make this child the crown prince."

As the emperor, Xiao Xingyuan was naturally more politically astute than Meng Yanzhi. He was happy to have a son, but he was also quite worried.

"Yes, I don't want my child to be emperor, let alone crown prince."

"Ah Yuan, in my heart, being with family is the greatest happiness. Being an emperor is not necessarily the most satisfying thing in the world!"

Meng Yanzhi gently kissed him.

"Don't worry, my heart has never changed."

She is still the free-spirited Meng Yanzhi, only she has temporarily stopped for the sake of the person she loves.

Seeing Meng Yanzhi's adorable appearance, Xiao Xingyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He gently pinched her nose and then said softly, "Okay, it's settled then. Yanzhi, having you is truly my blessing!"

"Having you is my blessing." Meng Yanzhi felt content.

In her previous life, she was unable to have children. Now, she not only has a daughter but also a son. How could she not be happy? How could she not be blessed?

The next morning, Zangshui and his officials came to greet and invite the two of them to the palace.

The moment they saw Cangshui, the two of them quickly switched modes, becoming the most seamless emperor and empress, their previous affability gone, replaced by an imposing aura.

The two of them now represent a country, so naturally they can't afford to bring shame to their country!

Seeing the two of them so serious, Cang Shui felt a little uncomfortable. When her gaze fell on Meng Yanzhi, she felt a strong sense of disconnect.

After all, the Meng Yanzhi he had seen before was not like this at all.

"Greetings, Your Majesty and Your Highness."

"You two have come from afar, thank you for your hard work."
