Chapter 167: Troublesome

"Be serious." Pei Jingzhou said.

Jiang Zhaoyue refused: "I won't."

"obedient."

"No."

"Let's talk about it in the bedroom." Pei Jingzhou compromised.

"Do you agree?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked with a smile.

Pei Jingzhou nodded.

Seeing the handsome and easy-going Crown Prince, Jiang Zhaoyue couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, you are so lovable."

Pei Jingzhou's handsome face turned stern: "Talking nonsense again."

Jiang Zhaoyue hugged his arms tightly: "Really, you are super cute."

Pei Jingzhou rolled his eyes at her and said, "How can a man be cute?"

"You are such a cute man. Look at your face, ears, and neck, they are all red."

"Let's talk about it in the bedroom." Pei Jingzhou said seriously.

"Oh oh oh." Jiang Zhaoyue and Pei Jingzhou returned to the East Palace bedroom in a happy mood.

The two of them sat on the couch in front of the window, and without saying anything inappropriate for children, they naturally talked about Xiao Congbei.

Jiang Zhaoyue couldn't help but sigh: "Wealth and honor dazzle the eyes, power confuses the mind."

Pei Jingzhou nodded in agreement.

Jiang Zhaoyue was curious: "How will the emperor deal with Xiao Congbei?"

Pei Jingzhou said, "We'll have an answer only after the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate, and the Dali Temple have thoroughly investigated the matter."

"Then the fate of Feng Lanxin, the twins, and the Feng family will also have to wait and see."

"Um."

"Then let's wait." Jiang Zhaoyue did everything she could. She took a sip of tea and suddenly thought of the matter at the Zhenguo Mansion. She said, "What about Yinping?"

"Yinping is Xiao Congbei's man."

"I know. What are we going to do with her?"

Pei Jingzhou thought for a moment and said, "I'll tell my father."

"How do you say that?"

"Tell the truth."

"Will the Emperor think that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has rebellious intentions?"

"Tell the truth, Father will understand."

Too.

Emperor Hong Qi was able to be emperor for so many years and manage the palace inside and outside in an orderly manner. His wisdom is unmatched by ordinary people. Instead of hiding it, it is better to be frank.

Jiang Zhaoyue nodded: "We'll deal with Yinping later."

Pei Jingzhou nodded.

"Then we have nothing to worry about."

"That's right."

"It's all because I summoned Feng Lanxin at the critical moment that everything went so smoothly." Jiang Zhaoyue folded his arms and said proudly, "Ah, I really am a rare talent."

Pei Jingzhou smiled when he saw this.

Jiang Zhaoyue looked at Pei Jingzhou and said, "It's agreed that I'll be rewarded."

"What reward do you want?"

"Give me a leg massage." Jiang Zhaoyue stretched out his legs.

"Nonsense." Pei Jingzhou refused.

"Give me a thump." Jiang Zhaoyue acted coquettishly.

"How can the Crown Prince massage the Crown Princess' legs? How would the palace maids feel?"

Jiang Zhaoyue ignored it and continued, "Just hit it."

Pei Jingzhou firmly refused: "No."

"Where's the promised reward?"

"Change it."

“…”

As they were talking, Xiang Qiao walked in and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, Crown Prince, and Crown Princess, you may have your meal."

"Let's set the table." Pei Jingzhou said.

"Yes." Xiangqiao walked out.

Jiang Zhaoyue was also hungry, so she stopped arguing with Pei Jingzhou, stood up, walked to the dining table, and slowly sat down.

Pei Jingzhou sat next to her.

Jiang Zhaoyue picked up the chopsticks and saw her favorite stir-fried lamb with green onions. She picked up a piece as usual, but before she put it in her mouth, she smelled a strong smell of mutton, and she immediately frowned.

"What's wrong?" Pei Jingzhou asked.

"The mutton is too smelly today." Jiang Zhaoyue put down the mutton slices and picked up the fish fillets instead. As soon as he put them in his mouth, he felt so fishy that he felt nauseous.

She immediately covered her mouth, ran out of the dining room, ran to the yard, and vomited while holding onto the flower bed.

Pei Jingzhou quickly followed her out and covered her shoulder: "What's wrong?"

"It smells so fishy." Jiang Zhaoyue said uncomfortably.

Pei Jingzhou was immediately displeased: "Someone come here!"

"Don't blame the chef, it must be my morning sickness." The chef of the East Palace is very responsible, it is impossible for him to make two dishes that are both smelly and fishy.

"Morning sickness?"

Jiang Zhaoyue responded and began to dry heave again.

"Red grass." Pei Jingzhou shouted immediately.

"Yes." Hongcao appeared immediately.

"Go and ask for the Imperial Physician Niu."

"yes."

"Xiangqiao." Pei Jingzhou called again.

Xiangqiao saw that the Crown Princess had vomited and hurried over with tea.

Pei Jingzhou reached out to take it and rinsed Jiang Zhaoyue's mouth.

Jiang Zhaoyue rinsed out the fishy taste from his mouth and felt a little better.

Pei Jingzhou helped her to the dining table.

Jiang Zhaoyue didn't know what he smelled and was about to vomit again.

Pei Jingzhou quickly ordered people to remove all the food.

At this time, Imperial Physician Niu arrived and quickly took Jiang Zhaoyue's pulse, confirming that Jiang Zhaoyue was fine and just had morning sickness, so there was no need to worry.

Pei Jingzhou breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the chef to make something light.

Jiang Zhaoyue didn't think it was a big deal, but the symptoms of morning sickness started to become increasingly obvious the next day. She would feel nauseous and vomit as soon as she smelled anything that was fishy, ​​strong, greasy, or sweet.

In just ten days, the little face became thinner.

Pei Jingzhou was so distressed that he had to inform Emperor Hong Qi and Concubine Hui and seek help.

In the past year, Emperor Hong Qi lost the third prince, Concubine Shi, the queen, the second prince, etc., and his heart was extremely heavy. Finally, he heard the good news - the prince had a successor.

He was very happy and gave Jiang Zhaoyue many rewards, and asked Concubine Hui to take good care of Jiang Zhaoyue.

When Concubine Hui learned that Jiang Zhaoyue didn't like fish, meat, sweet or spicy food, she prepared plums, oranges and candied green plums for her.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhaoyue did not vomit after eating it.

Princess Duojia stood aside, her face wrinkled like a bun, and asked, "Big Sister-in-law, don't you feel sour?"

"It's not sour, it's quite sweet." Jiang Zhaoyue said.

Princess Duojia didn't believe it. She took one and took a bite. The sour taste immediately rushed to her head: "This is sweet?!"

Jiang Zhaoyue smiled.

Concubine Hui smiled and said, "Pregnant women have different tastes than ordinary people."

The mother and daughter stayed with Jiang Zhaoyue for a while.

Jiang Zhaoyue's mood also improved.

When night fell, Pei Jingzhou hurried back. As soon as he entered Muhua Courtyard, he asked solemnly, "What did the Crown Princess have for dinner?"

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess ate half a bowl of rice, three slices of tofu, and two green vegetables." Xiangqiao remembered it clearly.

"Didn't you vomit?"

"In the afternoon, Imperial Concubine Hui came over and brought some plums, oranges, and candied green plums. The Crown Princess ate them and her appetite was stimulated. She felt great all afternoon."

Pei Jingzhou's expression softened as he walked into the bedroom.

Jiang Zhaoyue was leaning against the big pillow, quietly reading a storybook. Her bright face had lost its usual boldness and arrogance due to the torture of morning sickness, and instead looked more haggard and pitiful.

Pei Jingzhou walked forward slowly.

Jiang Zhaoyue turned around when he heard the voice, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Your Highness is back!"

Pei Jingzhou suddenly laughed.

"Hug." Jiang Zhaoyue stretched out his arms.

"I'll take a shower and change clothes first." Jiang Zhaoyue is now very sensitive to smells. The last time Pei Jingzhou came back from martial arts practice, she rushed over and hugged him before he had time to take a shower and change clothes. When she smelled the sweat, she immediately retched.

He didn't want this to happen again, so he quickly went into the purification room, came out quickly, hugged Jiang Zhaoyue, and then saw that the title of the storybook she was reading was "The Substitute Bride vs. the Romantic Scholar".

OK.

Okay.

As long as she likes it.

He pretended not to see and asked her what she did in the afternoon.

Jiang Zhaoyue talked a lot, emphasizing that she walked in the sun: "I will walk every day from now on. The more I walk, the smoother the birth will be."

"Okay." Pei Jingzhou raised his hand and massaged Jiang Zhaoyue's legs.

Jiang Zhaoyue asked in surprise: "What are you doing?"

"I'll massage your legs to prevent them from being sore and painful tomorrow." Pei Jingzhou not only massaged them, but also kneaded them carefully to relax her legs.

"Last time when I asked you to massage my legs, you were concerned about your status as the Crown Prince and your dignity as a man and refused to agree. Why are you suddenly so proactive today?"

"My status as a crown prince and my dignity as a man are not as important as your safety." Pei Jingzhou answered without even looking up. After a long while, when Jiang Zhaoyue didn't respond, he looked at her in surprise: "What's wrong?"

"Your Highness, were you slept with?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.

"What was slept with?"

"You've been slept with another woman, so you feel guilty in front of me, and then you flatter me in an extremely fawning way!"
