Chapter 246: Swagger
Because it was certain that Chen Wan would never get pregnant in this lifetime, no one rushed to ask a doctor to confirm it for her. They waited until the news spread more widely, making everyone happy, and then poured a basin of cold water on her. That was the feeling.
The prince had given them this feeling before, and they also wanted him to have it.
Shen Wan stayed in Wing Chun Court for only a short while before going to Liuli Court.
Seeing Chen Wan, the princess was all smiles. She patted Chen Wan's hand and said, "How could you, child, arrange for Yu'er to take a concubine just after you got pregnant?"
Mother Xu did not hide anything from the princess and even told her about taking a concubine.
Chen Wan was really worried that she was not pregnant, and was thinking about how to make up for it. It's better to be safe than sorry. At this time, a familiar sound of footsteps was heard outside.
Xie Jingyu walked in, looking quite impatient, because he had been congratulated all the way here.
Everyone who saw him congratulated him.
Needless to say, his mother must have called him here for this matter.
But the first thing the princess saw was the bruise on his forehead, and she asked, "What's wrong with your forehead?"
"I bumped into it accidentally."
The princess thought it was just a minor injury, but for someone who practiced martial arts, it was a minor one, so she didn't say anything.
The princess warned, "The Crown Princess is pregnant. You can't have sex with her until she's three months pregnant. You should move to the study."
Xie Jingyu, “…”
It was just a few words spoken in anger, but everyone took it seriously.
He wanted to see how this woman was going to end it.
"I see."
The princess added, "You are not allowed to take concubines."
Xie Jingyu was very tired, "I won't take a concubine."
The princess patted Chen Wan's hand and said, "Take good care of the baby. If you need anything, just tell your mother."
Shen Wan nodded obediently and said weakly, “I haven’t asked the doctor to take my pulse yet. What if the doctor makes a mistake and I’m not pregnant?”
The princess was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "It doesn't matter. If I don't get pregnant this time, it won't matter if I get pregnant again in the future."
Shen Wan was relieved.
However, as soon as she and Xie Jingyu returned to Zhaolanxuan, the princess sent someone to deliver supplements and silk jewelry, treating her as if she was pregnant.
Not only the princess, but the prince also sent a lot of things over after hearing the news, plus ten thousand taels of silver notes.
Looking at the things piled up like a small mountain, Shanhu Yinchuan's heart was trembling. She kept praying in her heart that the Crown Prince's wife must be pregnant. If this was a mistake, she would be laughed at to death.
In addition to the prince and princess, the fourth lady also sent gifts. The old lady and the second and third wives did not say anything. They knew that it was impossible for her to be pregnant. Wouldn't it be a waste of money if they sent the gifts?
They were all counting the days to see the joke.
When the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion received the good news, the first person to come was Chen Li, who patted Xie Jingyu on the shoulder and said, "Brother-in-law, well done!"
Xie Jingyu held his forehead with his hand, "Does everyone in Kyoto know about this?"
Chen Li said, "There's no need to be so ostentatious, right?"
Xie Jingyu, “…”
They are indeed brother and sister.
Can't you hear the difference between what is meant and what is not?
Chen Li rushed here after hearing the news that he was about to become an uncle. Yun came in the afternoon. Chen Li could come empty-handed, but she couldn't.
Yun prepared a bunch of things and brought Ye Caiwei to see Shen Wan, smiling, "Now that you two sisters are married and both are pregnant, mother is relieved."
Chen Yu had been married for two years without any news, so it goes without saying that Yun was worried.
Chen Wan has been sick since she was a child. Although she has recovered over the years, Yun Shi was still afraid. Now that she knows she is pregnant, she can finally put her mind at ease.
Yun saw Shen Wan and then went to see the princess before leaving.
Xie Jingyu was reading in the study, waiting for Chen Wan to go find him to consummate the marriage, but he waited for an entire afternoon and no one came.
During dinner, no one mentioned the matter. However, later that night, Shanhu came to the study and said, "Master, the princess sent me to ask you, are you sleeping in the study tonight?"
Xie Jingyu laughed angrily, "Why didn't she just send my bedding and pillows to the study?!"
Shanhu conveyed these words to Chen Wan truthfully.
Shen Wan has thought about this before, isn't this just not daring?
Chen Wan was almost traumatized by the unpleasantness she had experienced several times before because of letting Xie Jingyu sleep in the study.
Coral asked, "Do you want to move there?"
Can you be a little more thoughtful? It's obvious that Xie Jingyu is angry when he said this.
Shen Wan said, "Wait for his orders."
Xie Jingyu promised the princess that he would sleep in the study, so she'd better not rush him.
Chen Wan was so tired that he went to bed.
As soon as he lay down, Xie Jingyu came back, undressed, got into bed, and lay down in the outer room. He didn't hug him as usual, but as long as he followed the rules, there was nothing wrong with sleeping together.
Xie Jingyu lay on the bed, waiting for Shen Wan to take the initiative. The pregnancy matter had caused such a big fuss that she had to get pregnant quickly to end it.
Just as I thought of this, Shen Wan came over and hugged me. She still liked to sleep in Xie Jingyu's arms.
He himself did not go to the study to sleep, so he could not blame her for being tortured. Besides, she was pregnant, so he should be more accommodating to her.
Shen Wan was very confident and turned over and over in his arms, trying to sleep more comfortably.
A certain man was already thinking of forcing himself on him, and he didn't know whether he should resist or not.
Forget it, give her face and don't resist.
Just as I made up my mind, I heard the sound of regular breathing.
Xie Jingyu, “…”
I don’t know how many times I get angry in a day.
How could he fall in love with such a heartless woman?
He wanted to see how long she could endure.
A good night's sleep.
When he woke up in the morning, Chen Wan felt refreshed and no different from usual.
It's time to go and greet her good morning. Good morning. No one in Wing Chun Court, except the Fourth Madam, thought she was really pregnant. But the Princess said, "Since you're pregnant, there's no need to greet your mother every day."
Shen Wan said, “I went to pay my respects to the old lady and came here by the way.”
The princess said, "You don't have to go to the old lady every day. Once every three to five days will be enough."
The old lady and the others didn't believe that she was pregnant at all. She probably had no choice but to go now. She would wait until the doctor took her pulse and confirmed it, and then she would go and say good morning depending on her mood.
After leaving Liuliyuan, he took a walk in the garden before returning to Zhaolanxuan.
Tomorrow is the day when the palace will hold a farewell party for the envoys from Dongliang and Beiyue.
However, plans cannot keep up with changes. There were strong winds and dark clouds in the afternoon, and heavy rain fell in the evening.
Xiahou Yi did not cause any trouble to delay his return, and God kept him for two more days.
As a result, the farewell banquet and the old lady's beheading were held on the same day.
Chen Wan had originally planned to go to the city gate to see the old lady off, but was worried about how to convince Xie Jingyu to let her go. Now she was forced to give up the idea.
The sky after the rain is as clean as if it had been washed by water.
However, Shen Wan still met the old lady. On the way to the palace for the banquet with Xie Jingyu, they happened to meet the Ministry of Justice escorting the prisoner car to the city gate.
The old lady was locked in a prison van, looking disheveled and dirty. Many people threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at her along the way.
It's very satisfying.
The prison van drove away amid shouting and cursing and disappeared from sight.
Shen Wan lowered the curtain, and the servant continued to drive the carriage into the palace.
