Chapter 587 The Little Star in the Palm of Your Hand
Three days later, Dong Gui discovered that Xiao Jiuyue was pregnant.
"Your Highness knows that there are only disadvantages and no advantages." Xiao Jiuyue was not used to it at first, but now she has completely entered the days of taking care of the pregnancy.
He returned the gifts to his elder brother and sister-in-law, and also sent some bamboo shoots to his parents who were far away in Shengjing.
Dad especially likes to eat bamboo shoots stewed with bones and fried bamboo shoots with cuttlefish belly and dried cuttlefish.
I brought back a lot of dried cuttlefish from Lingnan before.
"But, Your Highness..." Donggui hesitated and didn't know what to say. The prince would definitely be happy about this and would want to know it first, but what the princess said was not wrong.
"If you want to say it, it's not too late to send a pigeon now." Xiao Jiuyue put down the taro ball milk tea in her hand and looked at Donggui with a smile.
Donggui was silent for a while before she said, "I will listen to the princess." Before the prince left, he asked them to obey the princess's orders, so it was right for her to listen to the princess, right?
"Okay, don't shout this out. Let's wait until the pregnancy is stable after three months."
Xiao Jiuyue was relieved. Since Donggui wouldn't say anything, there was no need to worry. She said, "Spring planting is almost done. Let's see if there's any shortage of rice seeds. We can get some more. This year, the yield must be even higher than last year's!"
Jun Lie left, but the spring sowing task in Hongdu Prefecture had to continue. Fortunately, Jun Lie had acted decisively before and had shocked those gentry. Although he was not in Hongdu now, everyone was farming in the fields.
Plant more grain and harvest more grain. Even if you pay a little more in taxes, there will be more grain left!
Time passed quickly and it was May. The weather gradually became hotter. Every ten days or half a month, she would receive a letter of safety from Jiashui City, which made her feel particularly comfortable during her pregnancy.
"Princess, is this dress a little tight?" When Lianxin was helping Xiao Jiuyue put on clothes, she found that the clothes that had fit her before were now a little tight.
"It's been exactly three months, maybe a little bit." Xiao Jiuyue touched her belly. It has been three months, and her belly is starting to show a little bit. When Aunt He saw her yesterday, she looked at her belly from time to time.
From that look, Xiao Jiuyue guessed that Aunt He had guessed it.
"Just in time, the clothes I prepared for you have come in handy." Lian Xin changed her clothes and she instantly felt more comfortable. She said, "Princess, I have good news to tell you. I'm pregnant too."
"Really?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at Lian Xin and then said, "It's almost done. Congratulations. We'll have company then."
"Yeah." Lianxin smiled shyly. She hoped that the child would grow up quickly so that he could serve the young master or young lady.
"Then you don't have to be on duty anymore. Just stay home and take care of your baby." As Xiao Jiuyue finished speaking, Lian Xin said, "Princess, I'll go crazy if I stay at home every day!"
"I don't have to do any heavy work. I can just accompany the princess and do some light work. No problem!" Lian Xin had been embarrassed to say it before because she was afraid that Xiao Jiuyue would not let her work because she was pregnant.
"Pfft!" Xiao Jiuyue chuckled: "Other people want to slack off when they're pregnant, but you're afraid that I won't let you work!"
"I'm happy to be with the princess and do any job she wants."
Lian Xin said happily, and then mentioned that Tang Tian had given birth to a daughter, and said: "Princess, do you want a daughter or a son?"
"All are good." Xiao Jiuyue thought, as long as the child is her blood relative, whether it is a boy or a girl, she will like them.
"Me too, but Ai Qiushi said she wanted a girl." Perhaps because they were both pregnant, the two had endless topics to talk about.
From today on, whatever Xiao Jiuyue eats or takes as supplements, a portion will also be given to Lianxin.
"Alas, after the prince left, there's no roast chicken left to eat!"
Luo Kui and Guo Sheng stole roast chicken several times. The chicken roasted by the prince tasted really good.
"How about we try it ourselves?" Guo Sheng also missed the roast chicken made by the prince. They were responsible for protecting the princess's safety, but the princess was in the village. No, she was mostly at home and seldom went out.
They are completely powerless.
Guo Sheng and Lan Ying have already started training the village patrol team. Their instructions have made the young men in the patrol team particularly excited.
"Okay, I'm not on duty tomorrow, how about we go to the back mountain to barbecue?" Luo Kui suggested.
"Then see you at the back mountain tomorrow." Guo Sheng responded.
The next morning, Guo Sheng and Luo Kui went to the mountain to roast chicken like thieves.
Xiao Jiuyue vaguely felt that Luo Kui and Guo Sheng had a different relationship, but she didn't reveal it. She specially asked Dong Gui to take a look secretly. If Luo Kui and Guo Sheng really had a chance, it would be pretty good.
Guo Sheng has become more mature and stable in recent years.
"Roast chicken?" Xiao Jiuyue was shocked when she heard Donggui say that when the two of them were roasting chicken in the back mountain!
Isn’t this way of dating a bit strange?
Soon, Xiao Jiuyue figured it out and said, "Maybe they didn't go anywhere. They're still hiding it from me, eating roast chicken together?"
At night, when it was Luo Kui's turn to be on duty, she felt uncomfortable with Xiao Jiuyue's vague gaze. She touched her face and asked, "Princess, is there something wrong with my face?"
…
Jiashui City.
"Your Highness, Xijiang's attack on Nanyue is fake, and Prince Duan's intention to harm you is real!" Guo Yang's face was gloomy. When they led the troops to Jiashui City, they found that Prince Duan was really exaggerating!
The other side has only 3,000 soldiers, and the guards of Jiashui City have 4,000. Is there any need to be afraid of the Xijiang soldiers?
"Have you found out clearly? Are those Xijiang people really cooperating with Prince Duan?" Jun Lie asked. There was no direct clue when the Xijiang people were arrested last time.
"Our people have been squatting in Prince Duan's mansion for half a month, and finally we have some news. The day before yesterday, a group of people broke into Prince Duan's mansion late at night."
Guo Yang said solemnly: "That group of people were extremely vigilant. We watched from a distance as they returned to the Xijiang military camp."
"So, he really was the one who attacked Jiuyue?" Jun Lie slammed his fist down on the table and said, "Since he wants to use the people of Xijiang to get rid of me, why not give him a taste of his own medicine?"
"Your Highness, this is Jiashui City. Don't be impatient." Guo Yang was afraid that Jun Lie would act impulsively, so he reminded him, "Our people will have to wait another half a month to arrive!"
"The princess is still in the palace waiting for the prince to return safely!" Guo Yang emphasized the pronunciation of the words "princess" and "safely", fearing that the prince would act impulsively.
"Don't worry, I won't fight an unprepared battle. I'll let the spies pass the message back today." Jun Lie whispered quietly in Guo Yang's ear.
Hongdu.
Xiao Jiuyue plays the piano every day to teach the baby in her belly. Today she played Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and said, "Baby, you are the little twinkle in your parents' hands!"
