While the two of them were arguing, the small kitchen had already prepared a few more dishes and served them up.

Jiang Ling was happy to have ice cubes as a guarantee in the summer, and with Zhou Jing'an teasing and coaxing her, she ate half a bowl of rice.

-

Jiang Ling lay there leisurely, and couldn't help but smile when she looked at Zhou Jing'an.

"It's only been a little over a month, it's hard to tell."

Now there is an additional part in Zhou Jing'an's evening schedule, which is to take a good look at Jiang Ling's belly.

It was still early in the pregnancy, and Jiang Ling's belly was no different from before she was pregnant.

Jiang Ling didn't know what he could see, and she enjoyed it every day. After observing him over and over again, Jiang Ling saw that he just smiled foolishly.

Zhou Jing'an touched it gently, but didn't dare to put it all on it.

His eyebrows are gentle, and his eyes seem to be filled with stars.

"Yeah, it's still small." He lowered his head again and whispered to his belly, "Grow up slowly."

Every time at this time, Jiang Ling felt that it would be nice to have a child.

She looked at Zhou Jing'an quietly, his gentle and hopeful expression, with a smile on her lips.

He would be a good father.

Jiang Ling then thought of something else. "My uncle and his family are coming to Beijing with Xingxing in a couple of days. We want Doctor Fang to see her."

Zhou Jing'an carefully put down Jiang Ling's underwear and looked up. "Well, I've already asked the emperor. The emperor said that Xingxing should be allowed to come to the palace directly. It will be convenient for her to treat the illness together with the empress dowager."

This is grace.

Jiang Ling nodded, "Then I will go to the palace to thank the emperor in person."

"I thank you on your behalf." Zhou Jing'an lay down beside her. "Just rest in the mansion and don't worry about all the formalities."

He gently hugged Jiang Ling and kissed her on the forehead.

She whispered, "Ling'er, go to sleep. Your uncle and his family are here. I will go to the city gate to greet them personally."

Jiang Ling lazily nestled in his arms and responded in a low voice: "Okay, let's go together."

On May 17th, Meng Linghan and his family arrived in the capital.

Zhou Jing'an accompanied Jiang Ling to the Jiang family for lunch. They were very grateful for the emperor's grace, but his aunt Lin Niantao was a little worried about Xingxing being alone in the palace.

It was a grace to let her enter the palace for treatment. After all, the Empress Dowager had not yet fully recovered. It was a surprise to be able to let Fang Juexia be treated and wake her up. The palace had strict rules, and others were not allowed to enter the palace to accompany her.

Jiang Ling consoled her, "Don't worry, Aunt. The Empress has specially allowed Xingxing to stay with Princess Changning in Fengyi Palace."

"With the Empress taking care of me, I think everything will be fine."
