When Si Jinyue heard someone entering the room, she looked up, but unexpectedly met his gloomy gaze!
She was slightly startled, wondering why he looked like that.
Si Jinyue concealed her thoughts, then a smile appeared on her face, and she said softly:
"Your Highness, why are you here? Have you finished your official duties?
I have nothing to do, so I packed up early and came here to wait for you to enter the palace. I hope I didn't bother you."
As she spoke, she stood up and saluted Qi Nanyue.
But she is now nearly five months pregnant, with a noticeable bulge in her belly, and she looks very clumsy.
Qi Nanyue's expression had already returned to normal by this time.
He strode into the inner room, helped Si Jinyue, who had stood up, sit down on the couch, and said:
"You are pregnant now and are getting further along. There is no need to go through all this trouble."
He glanced at the unfinished dress in Si Jinyue's hand and said:
"Why do you still do these chores yourself? Just let the servants do it. Be careful not to tire yourself out."
Si Jinyue nodded obediently, and said with a worried look:
"I am not tired, there are many maids and nannies in the house to serve me, but it is the prince.
It's already the 30th year of the lunar year, and you're still busy. You should also take care of your health."
Qi Nanyan hummed, then said, "Now that everything is ready, let's go to the palace."
As he spoke, he reached out to support Si Jinyue.
Si Jinyue was helped up by Qi Nanyan, but saw his hand heading towards her stomach!
Her fear surged, and she staggered and dodged quickly!
After Chunzhi helped her stand steadily, she found that Qi Nanyue was standing there, looking at her with a gloomy face.
Si Jinyue’s head buzzed. Did the prince just want to touch her belly?
Her face was pale and she hesitated:
"Your Highness...just now my stomach was twitching, and I felt very uncomfortable. I almost couldn't stand.
This child is really noisy!"
As she spoke, she pretended to faint, and Chunzhi quickly helped her back to sit on the couch.
Chunyu, who was waiting on the side, reminded him at the right time:
"Princess, at lunch, you said you had no appetite and couldn't eat.
My son, I’m afraid the little prince in your belly is very hungry, so he’s making trouble for you!
Once we enter the palace, the dinner will take some time. How can you do that?
Why not have some porridge to nourish yourself while it's still early?"
Qi Nanyan retracted his outstretched hand, and seeing that Si Jinyue really looked extremely uncomfortable, he said:
"Why don't you enjoy your meal? Just ask the kitchen to make you something.
Even adults can’t stand being hungry all the time.
It's still early, there's still time to eat something!"
Upon hearing this, Si Jinyue stroked her forehead, pretending to be weak, and said:
"Your Majesty, it's my fault. I'm afraid it will delay you for some time. I feel really bad about it!
Otherwise, Your Highness, please go to the palace first. I will pack up and then go on my own. I hope you won’t delay Your Highness.”
At this moment, she really wanted to be alone and calm down.
It was so thrilling just now... How could she have thought that Qi Nanyue was going to attack her belly?
Qi Nanyan waved his hand, found a chair to sit down, and said:
"It's okay. It's still early. I'll wait for you here."
As he spoke, he picked up a book on the table and started flipping through it.
Seeing this, Si Jinyue had no choice but to bite the bullet and suppress the panic in her heart.
Under Qi Nanyue's gaze, he drank a bowl of hot porridge brought by the servant!
To prevent her from feeling uncomfortable, Qi Nanyue specifically asked the coachman to drive the carriage slower to reduce the bumps.
Outside the Shunde Gate of the Imperial Palace, many female relatives had already lined up outside the gate.
There are eunuchs and maids in front who conduct routine inspections on the female relatives entering the palace.
Qi Nanyan got off the carriage, turned around and personally helped Si Jinyue off the carriage, and said:
"You are pregnant. Don't go to crowded places. Be careful with your belly."
He turned to Chunzhi and said, "Take good care of your princess."
After he finished speaking, he got back on the carriage and headed towards the Suzaku Gate where officials entered the palace!
Prince Rui's instructions and care for the princess were seen by the women from various families who were queuing outside the palace gate to enter the palace.
The women chattered and discussed:
"Wow, Prince Rui just held hands with the princess and talked to her. He looked so gentle and considerate!"
"That's right! They say Prince Rui is the most humble and gentle among the seven princes of our emperor. It's true!"
"Oh my God! What a blessing it must be to be Princess Rui!"
"Don't talk nonsense. Look at Princess Rui. She is pregnant now, but apart from her belly, her figure is in great shape!"
"I've noticed too. Princess Rui's skin has become even more rosy and smoother even though she's pregnant!"
Si Jinyue walked straight to the front from the end of the team, and heard the envious voices of the women.
She held her head high and stroked her bulging belly with her hand.
She had never been so grateful for her decision to keep the baby in her womb as she was today.
It is said that a mother is honored by her son, and it is true.
If this child had not arrived in time, she would have lost her position as princess because of the incident with Concubine Liu!
It is precisely because of this child that the prince seems to be very concerned about her recently!
Even her mother-in-law, Concubine Luo, who usually disliked her, now gave her a lot of things every three to five days.
This child is truly her blessing!
