Perhaps due to the nourishment from the spiritual spring water in the space, the child was well-behaved, and Han Luoxue didn't experience much morning sickness.
Aside from still feeling tired.
"Haha, eat more, it's good to eat more, it brings good fortune! By the way, I heard your barbecue is especially delicious, how about we have barbecue today?"
Her family went to celebrate her birthday today, but she's too old to go.
As people get older, they should be more self-aware and stop going out to cause trouble for the younger ones.
"Great, I haven't had this in ages."
Zhou Jie, this little foodie, couldn't help but drool when she heard that they were going to eat barbecue.
"Okay, I'll prepare the meat now."
The best roast meat is naturally lamb, and Han Luoxue took out a lamb from her spatial storage, which had already been prepared.
She wanted to cut the meat herself, but the old lady was unwilling and said she would do it.
Zhou Jie was also helping out, so Han Luoxue just needed to give instructions.
Han Luoxue also made a lamb offal soup and grilled potato and cabbage skewers. She remembered seeing people grill fruit in her previous life, so she also made some skewers.
The most crucial part of grilling meat is marinating, and Han Luoxue's seasoning is something that no one outside can imitate.
The aroma of the barbecue soon filled the air. Zhou Jie reached out to try some, but Han Luoxue slapped her hand away, muttering a disapproving remark:
"It's not ripe yet? Aren't you afraid of getting sick if you eat it?"
"It just smells so good."
"Sister Xue'er, give me some seasonings so I can grill them myself from now on."
Oh my, it's so delicious! I want to eat it every day.
"Eating too much of this isn't good either. Let's eat it together when we want to. I'll make you hot pot another day, then we can have that."
What to do? She wanted to eat right now, Zhou Jie thought to herself.
...
The Wang family's banquets were rarely lively.
With the Empress Dowager present, quite a few people came to give the Wang family face.
Prince Zhen... oh no, he should be the Crown Prince now. He's here representing the Emperor, and everyone around him is trying to curry favor with him.
Unfortunately, he remained indifferent, neither warm nor cold. Even so, quite a few people still tried to curry favor with him.
"Your Highness, this old minister has heard that you already have a wife?"
Prime Minister Du was a cunning old fox. Seeing that the Crown Prince wasn't interested in flattery, he simply changed the subject.
Sure enough, the Crown Prince turned his head and looked over: "It's the Crown Princess."
Prime Minister Du was inwardly cursing. What Crown Princess?
The wife you married back then didn't even get the emperor's approval, and there was no ceremony. What kind of crown princess was she?
Besides, if they really cared, how could they not have brought the person out by now?
I bet he's ugly.
Although he was complaining in his heart, he didn't show it on his face at all.
"She's the Crown Princess; she must be a gentle and generous woman, right?"
"Um."
"When does Your Highness plan to bring her out?"
The Prime Minister's family also has women of marriageable age, so he might as well try to find out if the Crown Prince could become his son-in-law.
"Let's wait a few days."
"She's pregnant, so it's not convenient for her..."
Everyone was envious that the Prime Minister could speak with the Crown Prince. Those who were talking unconsciously lowered their voices, straining to hear the conversation. And what they heard...
At first, they thought that King Zhen's claim of having a wife was just an excuse, but what did they just hear?
Could it be true? The Crown Prince really has a wife? And his wife is even pregnant?
"Your Highness, are you telling the truth?" Prime Minister Du couldn't believe it either.
"Is the emperor joking?" The crown prince looked coldly at Prime Minister Du, who was so frightened that he quickly shook his head.
"Your Highness, that's wonderful news."
That was all Prime Minister Du could say.
While the two were talking, a young maid came over to pour wine.
Han Yuchen didn't care. It was too boring here. He might as well go back and deal with important matters. He could go and keep Xue'er company early in the evening.
It's a pity he can't leave early for today's banquet.
If only Xue'er's identity had been revealed sooner, I could have had her keep me company today, and I wouldn't be so bored.
Looking at the wine on the table, Han Yuchen picked it up and drank it all in one gulp.
Having gotten used to the wine made by Han Luoxue herself, these tasted awful.
Han Yuchen frowned, and Du Xiang, who was standing beside him, didn't know what to say for a moment.
Seeing that the prince's wine cup was empty, the maid hurriedly came over and filled it. She was probably too nervous, because her hand slipped and most of the wine spilled onto the prince.
The little girl was so frightened that she knelt down with a thud, begging Han Yuchen to spare her life.
Han Yuchen frowned in annoyance and waved his hand:
"Go down."
"Oh dear, Your Highness, this servant was reckless just now. I will punish him severely later."
When Wang Si, the eldest son of the Wang family, saw that the Crown Prince's clothes were all wet, he hurriedly called over a servant and asked him to take the Crown Prince to change his clothes.
The clothes were sticking to his body and it was uncomfortable, so the prince got up and left.
...
"Heh, I knew it! Who was so bold? It's you again."
Upon entering the room, Han Yuchen saw Mengyao, her clothes half-undone and her snow-white skin partially exposed, and his gaze turned cold.
He hadn't expected that even after he had made himself so clear, this woman would still not give up.
"Your Highness, as you know, I have liked you since I was a child."
"Hehe, there are plenty of people who like me. If they were all like you, wouldn't my Zhenwang Mansion be overflowing with people long ago?"
"Mengyao, this isn't the first time I've known you're shameless, but today you've truly shattered my expectations. Tell me, where do you, a former Crown Princess, get the confidence to think you can cling to me? Hmm?"
Han Yuchen stepped forward and tightly gripped Mengyao's neck.
Mengyao felt like she couldn't breathe. She wondered to herself why the medicine wasn't working.
"Your Highness, I am not Mengyao..."
Mengyao's face flushed red from holding back her laughter. Han Yuchen sneered, "Oh, not Mengyao? Then who are you?"
Seeing that she was about to be strangled to death, Han Yuchen finally let go.
He suddenly felt a warmth in his lower abdomen, a familiar sensation washing over him. Han Yuchen clenched his fists.
"How dare you drug me?"
This woman is really bold.
"Your Highness, I just like you, I love you."
Mengyao was just feeling uneasy, thinking the medicine had failed and was quite frightened. But now, seeing that the Crown Prince's breathing had become heavier after taking the medicine, her eyes lit up.
She remembered asking about the medicine's effects when she bought it. Only women could counteract its effects, and she had made arrangements to ensure no outsiders would come near the area.
“Your Highness, I really love you. When I was very young, I knew that I would be your woman when I grew up.”
Mengyao stepped forward, wanting to hug Han Yuchen.
Han Yuchen turned his head, looked at her blushing face and shy expression, and sneered:
"You knew you wanted to be my woman when you were little, but after I got into trouble, you couldn't wait to follow the Crown Prince."
"I... Your Highness, I wasn't willing at the time either, but my family..."
That's a really clean way of absolving himself.
