Ji Yunhuan repeatedly assured herself that she would be fine before she broke away from the clingy Xiao Yan and went to the small kitchen.
Baizhi was also in the small kitchen. She was putting the braised pork on a plate. There were a few small pieces of braised pork on the smooth plate, decorated with flowers and plants, which looked quite delicate.
The little palace maid watching the fire saw Ji Yunhuan coming and twirled her fingers nervously, "I said this was done by Sister Xiaoyun and no one else is allowed to touch it, but Sister Baizhi said she wanted to help you."
Ji Yunhuan casually handed the little palace maid a plate of cakes and chuckled, "It's okay. Sister Bai Zhi means well. Go out and play."
The little palace maid's eyes lit up, she took the cake with a smile and went out.
Bai Zhi felt a little guilty. She actually came here to learn from Xiaoyun. His Highness's taste had changed, and she wanted to learn Xiaoyun's cooking skills. Only after Xiaoyun was driven away could she serve His Highness closely.
Ji Yunhuan saw the food box that had been prepared nearby. The braised pork was the last dish and should be placed on top.
"Your Highness has woken up, it's time for dinner. Since my sister has prepared it, I will send it to Your Highness."
Bai Zhi took a step back, a gentle smile on her face. "You are the one who serves His Highness personally, so of course you should deliver it. Or are you, Xiaoyun, trying to be lazy and deliberately pushing the work onto me? I won't tolerate that."
Ji Yunhuan scooped up the braised pork from the pot, filled a large bowl, and put it into the food box.
"This little bit of meat won't fill your Highness's stomach. Thank you for your help, sister. I'll be leaving now."
Ji Yunhuan carried two large food boxes and went straight back to Xiao Yan's bedroom.
She could actually sense Bai Zhi's little thoughts, but Xiao Yan didn't seem to have any intention of taking Bai Zhi into his room, so she didn't want to point it out.
After all, she was just a favored palace maid, not Xiao Yan's legal wife. She had no name or status, so how could she have the qualifications to interfere in Xiao Yan's bedroom affairs?
The matter passed by in a vague manner. As for what would happen in the future, she was too lazy to care about it. After he ascended the throne, there would be more and more women around Xiao Yan, so it didn't matter if there was one more Bai Zhi.
When Ji Yunhuan returned, Ye Jueming had already left, and only Xiao Yan was lying on the bed.
She skillfully arranged the lunch, and Xiao Yan's first chopsticks were indeed for the braised pork.
After finishing his meal, Xiao Yan took a sip of tea to help digest his food, then smacked his lips and sighed, "Why do I feel like today's braised pork isn't quite right? It's different from last time. Xiaoyun, did you really make this yourself?"
Ji Yunhuan didn't expect Xiao Yan's tongue to be so sensitive. Even though she didn't do the final step, Xiao Yan was able to taste it.
"Maybe I didn't control the heat well enough. It was you who suddenly fainted that made me so flustered that I couldn't think about braised pork."
Xiao Yan smiled contentedly, reaching out to hold Xiao Yun in his arms, "I know that Xiao Yun cares about me the most. You are pregnant now, so don't go into the kitchen in the future. It's okay if I don't eat this."
********
Only half a month after being diagnosed with pregnancy, Ji Yunhuan was already feeling a little overwhelmed. It wasn't because the pregnancy was uncomfortable, but because Xiao Yan was just too clingy.
"Xiaoyun, are you in pain? I heard that breasts can be swollen and painful during pregnancy. Do you want me to massage it for you?"
"If it hurts, be sure to tell me. Don't bear it. I've learned massage and I can really help you."
"Xiao Yun, do you need to pee? Let me carry you over. It's difficult to move during pregnancy, so don't move, let me do it!"
"Xiao Yun, what are you doing with your back to me? Are you crying? I heard that pregnant women are sensitive and thoughtful. If you are unhappy, you must tell me."
"Xiaoyun, are you hungry? Can I feed you?"
Ji Yunhuan was extremely annoyed and just hoped that someone would come and call Xiao Yan away quickly so that she could have some peace and quiet.
The news of her pregnancy was kept secret very well. Apart from Ye Jueming, only Xia Yang knew about it.
Xia Yang was in charge of the small kitchen and always found different ways to prepare nourishing food for her. She could clearly feel that her waist had become rounder.
Ye Jueming came every day, saying that he was taking Xiao Yan's pulse, but actually he was taking her pulse.
On this day, Xiao Yan was going to the study. He heard that there was a change in the previous dynasty. He stared at Ji Yunhuan worriedly and persuaded him again: "Come with me to the study. I must let my subordinates see you."
Ji Yunhuan, of course, was unwilling to let go of this rare opportunity for peace and quiet, and decisively refused, "Your Highness is going to discuss important matters, what am I going to do? Your Highness, please go quickly. With Divine Doctor Ye here, are you still worried?"
"
The sound of knocking tiles was heard on the roof again, as if urging him to leave. Xiao Yan knew that he could not delay any longer, so he could only leave the bedroom, looking back every few steps.
Ji Yunhuan couldn't wait to get off the bed, twisted his stiff neck, and complained, "Doctor Ye, it's not me who needs treatment, but His Highness!"
"I'm the one who's pregnant, but he's even more nervous than I am. He wants to stay with me all day and all night long. I'm afraid he'll actually faint."
Ye Jueming dutifully checked Ji Yunhuan's pulse and sighed helplessly, "You're in good health. You don't need me to come here every day to check your pulse. Why do you think I come here every day? It's just for Xiao Yan to see."
"My grandfather said that Xiao Yan was not like this before. He had a gentle personality but was sharp. The previous dynasty praised him highly and thought he was the hope for the future of the Xiao Kingdom. Empress Qi raised him well, but she died before him, so he was afraid, afraid that he would lose the person he loved."
"Heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. I can't cure his disease. Even my grandfather couldn't cure it. You should bear it more. It's better than looking for another woman while you are pregnant. You chose the person yourself, so you should comfort her more."
