Chapter 169 Congratulations! Unexpected meeting

For fear that Princess Huachang would notice something, Ji Qingwu lowered his eyes in a hurry.

It turns out that Emperor Wu Su was also troubled by this matter.

Does it mean that the position I hold in his heart can barely compare with the military power in Wei Ting's hands, making it difficult for him to choose between the two? That's why he feels depressed.

But she has to refuse this marriage herself.

It's good for both him and myself.

Ji Qingwu asked, "Did the princess come here because Wei Ting asked to marry me in the court?"

Princess Huachang heard her speak so calmly, and it seemed that unlike the rumors outside, the fifth daughter of the Ji family was not deeply in love with Wei Ting.

She shook her head and said bluntly: "Love is the most difficult word to understand. Even I can't see through it, so how can I care about your affairs."

Princess Huachang stared at her and spoke more slowly: "I came here for something else."

Ji Qingwu had been touched by the first half of her words and could not help nodding. However, when he heard that Princess Huachang came to find him specifically for other matters,

She asked doubtfully, "What can I do for the Princess?"

I saw a white bowl extending in front of me, and the dark green blood vessels were like branches growing on snow-white jade.

Princess Huachang said casually, "Please check if there is anything wrong with my body."

When Ji Qingwu entered the room, he first looked at the eldest princess's face and found that her facial skin was rosier and brighter than usual.

She called the maid at the door to bring a handkerchief, and then gently placed her hand on it. She looked at it carefully for a while, and the emotions in her eyes changed several times, first puzzled, and then turned to surprise.

Ji Qingwu had taken the eldest princess' pulse many times before and was very familiar with her pulse.

In the past, her pulse was neither floating nor sinking, neither fast nor slow.

But now, the feeling of the beating under my fingers is smooth, powerful and swirling.

The sea of ​​blood is abundant, and there is a feeling that the fetus is gradually becoming fuller.

Princess Huachang's breathing became much lighter.

Ji Qingwu raised his eyes, met her eyes as bright as glass, and pursed his lips slightly.

If she remembered correctly, the prince consort had been using contraceptive medicine. The princess went after him in anger and didn't know when the prince came back.

Therefore, Ji Qingwu did not dare to show a happy expression, and pretended to be calm and said: "Your Highness is pregnant."

Upon hearing this diagnosis, Princess Huachang moved as usual, gracefully withdrew her hand, and said calmly, "Really?"

Ji Qingwu had treated hundreds of women who were seeking children, if not thousands. Their reactions after learning they were pregnant were either ecstasy or tears of joy. Some were also at a loss, just like her elder sister Ji Qingrong.

The above are normal reactions, but Princess Huachang was so calm, as if she was not looking forward to the arrival of the child, which made Ji Qingwu feel uneasy.

So, she asked tentatively: "Then I'll prescribe some medicine for your Highness to calm the nerves and nourish the fetus, okay?"

Princess Huachang looked away and looked at the plum vase with pomegranate pattern on the shelf opposite.

Nodding: "Okay."

Although Ji Qingwu was 90% sure about this weak pulse of pregnancy, the pregnancy period was too short after all.

"Your Highness has only been pregnant for a short time. Even I dare not say anything final. I will go and check Your Highness' pulse in a few days."

Princess Huachang nodded quietly and spoke less and less.

Ji Qingwu quickly ordered the maid outside to bring paper and pen, and wrote the prescription on the paper.

As she was writing furiously, Princess Huachang seemed to finally feel the reality. She raised the corners of her lips slightly stiffly, and her hand couldn't help but touch her lower abdomen.

Ji Qingwu was thinking about one of the medicinal herbs, with the brush resting on his chin. He raised his head slightly and met the eldest princess' eyes.

The two of them recalled the scenes of taking pulses every time before, and now, it has finally borne fruit.

The corners of the other person's mouth curled up at the same time, and there was a gleam in his eyes.

Ji Qingwu was now certain of the princess's intentions, so she opened her voice and said happily, "Congratulations, Your Highness!"

Then he smiled and blinked: "Congratulations to the Prince Consort too!"

Seeing her cute, innocent and lively expression, Princess Huachang couldn't help but laughed.

Not long after, Ji Qingwu personally escorted Princess Huachang to the carriage, then leaned over the window of the carriage, raised his face and seriously explained many precautions.

Ji Qingwu's instructions were very detailed.

"Your Highness, it's still early in the month, so you shouldn't have any signs of morning sickness yet. You can eat whatever you want now, as long as it's not cold."

Princess Huachang couldn't help but laugh and said, "I understand. You can go back soon."

She suddenly felt that it was a good feeling to have a connection with someone.

No matter if it was the blood relative in her belly or the one standing at the gate of Ji's house, looking at her sincerely. After seeing off Princess Huachang, Ji Qingwu went to Anjuyuan first, but did not find Qiao.

After asking the maid Chunhua, I found out that Qiao had gone to the old lady's courtyard to wait on her for meal.

Ji Qingwu returned to Wutong Garden first, planning to go there later.

The willows are swaying, and the woman's figure is as slender as a willow. She walks on the gravel road under the shade of the trees with a light step.

Recently, Madam Ji's health has improved, and it is inseparable from Qiao's dedicated care.

Ji Qingwu found that she had previously thought that marriage was too simple. She couldn't wait to escape from a cage and didn't want to be restricted by Madam Ji and the Queen Mother.

But she forgot that a woman's life after marriage is not easy at all. After getting married, she has to serve her parents-in-law and elders and take care of the whole family. She thought she did not have the efficient means and abilities of Mrs. Qiao.

Thinking of this, Ji Qingwu became more determined. She would make good use of the ideas given to her by Qiao.

She pushed open the gate of Wutong Garden and walked into the house along the main road.

After walking a few steps, her body paused, and she seemed to see someone standing under the sycamore tree at the door out of the corner of her eye.

She fell back again.

Ji Qingwu turned his head quickly.

A man in a light blue brocade robe with silver threads stood under the phoenix tree, his narrow eyes sparkling.

"Fifth Doctor." was her old name.

Ji Qingwu stood not far away, looked at him and said: "...General Wei."

Who else could the man standing under the tree, scanning her whole body with his eyes, be but Wei Ting?

When she saw him at the gate of Qinzheng Hall yesterday, she was still able to remain calm. But after a day, Ji Qingwu had to become a little alert.

No matter how noble and upright Wei Ting had been in the past, he did something strange like proposing to her in public during the morning court session and then acknowledging her child.

It means that he is no longer the person he used to be.

Ji Qingwu looked around.

Wei Ting suddenly appeared at the Ji family and was able to enter the inner courtyard of the mansion. It was obvious that he came uninvited.

Fortunately, it was broad daylight now, and her yard was quiet and not many people came.

However, Lanzhi and several little maids were nowhere to be seen.

Ji Qingwu spoke first, trying to keep his tone normal and asked, "General Wei, may I ask where the maids in my house are?"

Wei Ting had a smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"Fifth Doctor, you don't care why I came here, but you care about your maids first?"
