Feeling a little guilty for arranging the marriage, the emperor rewarded Chu Yuan with a bunch of things.

Pearls, agates, jewelry, ornaments, and silk fabrics filled the Song family's storerooms.

Whenever Madam Song went out, she was either congratulated by the ladies of various families, or praised by everyone with envious tones, saying that Song Tangyin was favored by the emperor and that her daughter-in-law was beautiful, noble, and good at managing the household.

As time went on, she also felt that her current life was incredibly wonderful.

Song Xiuer's occasional attempts to stir things up were no longer effective; she was now focused on the precious grandson in Chu Yuan's belly.

The three-month critical period passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Song Xiuer also secretly tried to harm Chu Yuan, but Chu Yuan avoided it. This first pregnancy was very important to her, Song Tangyin, and Song Kangshi. Whether Madam Song could secure her position depended on this pregnancy.

Therefore, Chu Yuan was unwilling to take the risk of this pregnancy.

She'll have a second child later, then she'll deal with Song Xiuer.

Three months later, Song Tangyin, whose eyes were deep and captivating, returned.

Chu Yuan was still shaken.

That evening, Song Tangyin brought Chu Yuan some lily pastries from Zhenyaolou again. Although she was pregnant, Chu Yuan did not deliberately eat too much. Of course, she did not experience morning sickness after taking the recovery pills, and everything was as good as it could be.

At most, he would occasionally put on an act in front of Song Kangshi and Song Tangyin.

As Song Tangyin watched her eat, she gently asked, "Is it good? Does it make you feel nauseous?"

Chu Yuan really likes lily pastries. They have a light and refreshing taste, not too sweet or greasy, and she can eat seven or eight pieces at a time.

But when she ate the fourth piece, Song Tangyin closed the lid of the lily pastry. "You can't have too much late-night snack, especially since you're pregnant. You should eat less sweets to prevent the baby from becoming too big and causing a difficult delivery."

Chu Yuan wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Song Tangyin was much more attentive to this pregnancy than before.

Whenever I have free time, I read books on health or parenting.

He would also ask Physician Shen about precautions, such as eating less sweets to prevent the fetus from becoming too large and causing dystocia, which was what Physician Shen told him.

Chu Yuan felt conflicted. She thought to herself, "If Song Tangyin had treated the original owner like this before, the original owner wouldn't have died so depressed and with regrets."

It's all a mess.

"Are you full? If you are, let's go for a walk in the garden to digest our food."

Chu Yuan closed her eyes speechlessly. Here we go again!

She's practically hired a special caregiver for her during pregnancy!

Holding Chu Yuan's hand, the two slowly walked along the cobblestone path towards the lotus pond. Perhaps remembering that Chu Yuan's third miscarriage had occurred at the lotus pond, Song Tangyin unconsciously gripped Chu Yuan's hand even tighter.

"You're feeling heavy right now, so don't go near the water unless it's absolutely necessary. If you want to play, wait for me to come back, and I'll go with you."

It was as if Chu Yuan had become a porcelain doll the moment she became pregnant.

Chu Yuan was both amused and exasperated.

The wind rustled through the deep bamboo forest, and the candlelight was dim, making Song Tangyin's features appear even more defined and her beauty beyond compare.

Chu Yuan, obsessed with good looks, stood on tiptoe and kissed Song Tangyin's chin.

The latter didn't want to be in such a hurry, but since Chu Yuan took the initiative, what could he say?

They pinned someone against a large tree by the roadside and kissed them passionately.

There was a somewhat uncontrollable hunger and thirst.

Of course, Song Tangyin was also mindful of Chu Yuan's belly. Even though she couldn't control herself, she always kept her hands on both sides of Chu Yuan's belly. Her lips and tongue were fierce and passionate, as if she wanted to tear Chu Yuan apart and swallow her whole.

Chu Yuan brought this trouble upon herself; her lips were even a little swollen when she returned.

Lan Yue was taken aback. "Madam, your mouth... was bitten by an insect in the grass?"

Chu Yuan wished she could dig a hole in the ground and bury herself in it.

After washing up, Chu Yuan hesitated to enter the inner room, feeling that tonight would be very difficult.

Lan Yue helped her up, "Why aren't you walking, Madam? Do you need to use the restroom again?"

It is said that pregnant women tend to have more frequent intercourse. Lan Yue, like a little housekeeper, follows Chu Yuan everywhere every day, taking care of Chu Yuan meticulously.

"No...no." Chu Yuan forced herself to go inside.

Song Tangyin had already washed up; she was beautiful and well-dressed. She exuded a fresh and pleasant scent of soap.

What will happen next is self-evident.

Chu Yuan sighed. Being Mrs. Song is not easy, and the task is not easy to complete either.

She didn't resist, but whispered a reminder to Song Tangyin, "Be careful, don't hurt the child."

After all, Song Tangyin either doesn't do things at all, or when she does, she's exceptionally crazy.

He doesn't seem like a refined scholar at all.

Song Tangyin's eyes were filled with laughter, like scattered stars, her gaze intensely enveloping Chu Yuan, "Yuan'er, I missed you..."

The man's deep, husky voice seemed to have been suppressed for over a century.

A warm, wet kiss landed on her shoulder.

Chu Yuan was both embarrassed and amused by his teasing. "Ayin, has your self-control gotten worse? Aren't you afraid the baby in your belly can hear you?"

Song Tangyin took her hand and kissed every knuckle. "Don't worry, he's so young and he's been eavesdropping. I haven't even disciplined him yet."

"Nonsense! Is this how you refute colleagues who disagree with you politically?"

"Them? Even if they had ten mouths, they couldn't out-argue your Ah Yin!"

Chu Yuan was aroused by Song Tangyin, and her body gradually warmed up. She had been abstaining for three months, and it wasn't that she didn't want to.

Ye Ye was not born after her marriage, nor was it a one-night stand. Rather, she wanted a child after achieving success in her career, but did not want to be bound by marriage and constantly dealing with men, so she went to the hospital for IVF.

The sperm they used was donated by an unknown man at the hospital.

So strictly speaking, being with Song Tangyin was her first time.

Although it wasn't her own body that was being used.

In that moment of distraction, the man's hand had already opened her clothes, revealing her fair and delicate skin.
