Xu Chen'an's arrival surprised Situ Yao a little. Xu Chen'an was not a fool. At first, he thought that Su Mengyan wanted to tell Situ Yao the news of her pregnancy in person, but later he learned some things and changed his mind.
He thought that if he didn't tell Situ Yao about this, he didn't know when Su Mengyan would reveal the secret. If he told her, perhaps the emperor would consider Su Mengyan's pregnancy and change their current situation.
"Your Majesty, do you remember the Seventh Prince's wife?" After all, Xu Chen'an had promised Su Mengyan, so it was not appropriate to tell her directly that Su Mengyan was pregnant.
Cui Mixue? It had been a long time since he had heard from this person. Situ Yao was curious why Xu Chen'an suddenly mentioned this person.
"I remember, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just don't know what the emperor thinks about being a father." Xu Chen'an said in confusion.
Situ Yao always felt that Xu Chen'an's words were not clear, but it seemed that he wanted to tell him something. He looked up at Xu Chen'an's expression, only to see that he was looking at him with an expression as if to say, "Do you understand?"
Got it? Got it? What did you get? Why couldn't you just tell me straight out loud instead of beating around the bush?
Just as he was about to scold and tell Xu Chen'an to just say whatever he wanted to say, he suddenly remembered that Cui Mixue was let go by him precisely because she was pregnant, and besides, he had talked about what it felt like to be a father.
Could it be that? Situ Yao's eyes lit up and he stared at Xu Chen'an, his face showing uncontrollable excitement: "You mean..."
"Your Majesty, I have no intention of leaving. I am sorry for disturbing you today. I will take my leave." Seeing that Situ Yao had understood what he wanted to express, Xu Chen'an did not want to stay here for long, so he made an excuse to leave.
Yan'er is pregnant, I'm going to be a father, I have a child, these are the thoughts in Situ Yao's mind.
He had even forgotten that he had just promised the Prime Minister to take a concubine.
And this news has already been known to many people.
In the palace, Su Mengyan was resting in her room. After she knew she was pregnant, she didn't dare to act like before. Thinking about how she fainted without knowing she was pregnant, she felt scared.
"Have you heard that the Prime Minister has entered the palace again?"
"He's here again to persuade the Emperor to take a concubine? The Emperor has refused so many times, why is he still here?"
"I can tell you're out of touch with the news. The Emperor has agreed this time, and there will soon be a new member in the palace."
"Shh, keep your voice down, the Queen is still in the room!"
The discussion outside the window stopped abruptly. Su Mengyan's face turned pale as she listened to the palace maids' discussion outside. Situ Yao was going to take a concubine. Finally, he was going to take a concubine.
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He should have known it a long time ago, right?
Kexin, why are you feeling so uncomfortable?
"Come here." The maid came in and said, "Go and get me some wine."
What? The palace maid suddenly looked up at Su Mengyan. You know, the queen is pregnant and cannot drink any alcohol, but now she actually wants wine.
"What? Do you think there's going to be a new person in the palace, so you think the Queen's words are useless?" Su Mengyan's tone was filled with anger.
Seeing this, the palace maid had no choice but to agree.
On the way back from the imperial kitchen, the palace maid who was carrying wine met a young sister she knew, and the two of them walked together.
"Why did you take the wine?" the younger sister asked her. You know, few people in the harem drink alcohol.
The little maid sighed, "It was the Empress who asked for it. You don't know, the Empress is pregnant. For some reason, she suddenly wanted to drink. I didn't want to take it, and she scolded me very fiercely."
The little sister exclaimed, "What? The Queen is pregnant, how come no one knows this news? And how can she drink alcohol when she's pregnant? Why don't you try to persuade her?"
A person suddenly appeared: "The Queen is pregnant?" This person was none other than Chu Meng who was passing by.
The young palace maid took one look and said hurriedly, "Yes, Miss Chu, you see, the Queen asked me to bring her some wine, and I didn't dare to persuade her."
Although Chu Meng was young, she knew that she couldn't drink alcohol when she was pregnant: "Sister Yan'er must have had some problems. No, I have to go see her."
Chu Meng came to Su Mengyan angrily. When she saw Su Mengyan, she said, "Sister Yan'er, how can you drink alcohol when you are pregnant?"
Su Mengyan was a little surprised. She didn't expect Chu Meng to know about this. Before she could explain, Chu Meng said, "Did something happen to Sister Yan'er? Are you trying to drown your sorrows in alcohol?"
Unexpectedly, the little girl who used to be timid and afraid to interact with others has now grown up and knows how to care about the people around her.
However, at this moment, Su Mengyan didn't think so much at all. She was just thinking about Situ Yao's plan to take a concubine. She said uncomfortably: "Mengmeng, do you know, Situ Yao is going to take a concubine."
Chu Meng fell silent for a moment. So that was how it was. Was it because Situ Yao wanted to take a concubine that Sister Yan'er ignored the baby in her belly and wanted to drown her sorrows in alcohol?
Heartache spread across Chu Meng's heart in an instant, Sister Yan'er...
Chu Meng couldn't help but hug Su Mengyan. She felt that no matter what she said now, it would be so pale and powerless.
However, she still said: "Sister Yan'er, no matter what, you can't be like this, you still have a baby in your belly!"
Child, yes, I still have a child in my belly! When I first heard that Situ Yao was going to take a concubine, I was impulsive and wanted to drink. But now, Chu Meng is right, I can't ignore the child.
"Mengmeng is right. It's Sister Yan'er who got it wrong."
Seeing that Su Mengyan listened to her words, Chu Meng was naturally very happy and advised: "Sister Yan'er has only heard about it. You still have to ask the emperor whether it is true or not."
Su Mengyan then realized that she had only heard the palace maids' discussions and did not know the truth of the matter. How could she be so impulsive?
Just at this moment, a palace maid came in and said that Chu Meng's guards came to see Chu Meng.
Chu Meng's face flushed immediately: "Something must have happened, let him in!"
The guard strode in and saluted Su Mengyan. He held a food box in his hand and said to Chu Meng, "You wanted to eat the cakes from a few days ago, didn't you? I got them for you. I heard you were here, so I came over. Eat them while they're hot. They won't taste good if they're cold."
Su Mengyan didn't expect that it was just for this. Looking at the guard, Su Mengyan finally confirmed something.
Looking at Su Mengyan who was staring at her, Chu Meng's face turned even redder. She had never thought that the guard would take her casual remark to heart that day.
However, the guard did not think too much about it and directly placed the contents of the food box on the table.
