Chapter 1014: 'Special' Food
Jiang Yuyin smiled and replied, "He hasn't been named yet. Would you like me to help him choose one?"
Jiang Xue looked at her curiously: "Do you really want me to name him?"
"Of course I hope so."
"Since he is a child of the Huangfu family, I will give him a nickname. How about Wuyou? It means that I hope he can live a happy and worry-free life."
"My eldest sister's wish is exactly what I expect. I am very satisfied with the name Wuyou."
After the two chatted for a while, Jiang Xue stood up to say goodbye. As soon as she walked out of the room, she saw Huangfu Shang standing not far away, watching her.
Jiang Xue slowly approached with a faint smile on her face: "Is the Second Prince also here to see Yuyin and her child?"
"no."
Huangfu Shang replied briefly: "Princess, I am waiting for you here."
As soon as the voice fell, Fu Dong's hand pressed on the hilt of the sword. If Huangfu showed any disrespect to the princess today, she would never sit idly by.
"oh?"
Jiang Xue raised her eyebrows slightly: "I wonder why the Second Prince is waiting here on purpose?"
"Actually, there's nothing special. I just want to chat with the princess. I have no friends in this strange place and feel very lonely. Only you can understand my feelings."
"That's unfortunate. I'm not your confidant. Besides, I'm tired now and want to go back to rest. Let's talk about it another day."
Huangfu Shang smiled and said, "The princess is always energetic and not easily tired. I see that you are not tired, but you just don't want to talk to me."
Jiang Xue looked at him half-jokingly: "Some things are better known in the heart. Speaking them out will only embarrass each other and will not benefit us."
“But it’s good for me.”
Huangfu Shang smiled slightly: "Aren't you chatting with the eldest princess now?"
Hearing this, Fu Dong couldn't help but roll his eyes, secretly sighing that Huangfu Shang was really shameless to the extreme.
Jiang Xue didn't want to continue pestering him: "Second Prince, I'm really tired. Goodbye."
She was about to leave, but Huangfu Shang blocked her way: "Princess An Ning told me that the fourth prince of Dongxiang, Yun Zhen, looks very similar to your brother?"
Finally, he got to the point. This was to test her opinion of Yun Zhen. Jiang Xue nodded in confirmation: "Yes."
"So, does the Princess think this is a coincidence or intentional?"
Jiang Xue did not answer directly, but asked: "Your Highness, what do you think?"
"I don't have much contact with Yun Zhen, so I don't know."
Jiang Xue smiled slightly: "I don't know either. But I hope this is just a coincidence, so that I can remember my brother through his appearance."
"Since the princess hopes it's a coincidence, I hope so too."
Jiang Xue showed a hint of sneer at the corner of her mouth: "I remember that we were usually opponents. When did you start to understand my thoughts and wishes?"
"We don't have to be at odds all the time, right?"
Huangfu Shang stared at her with passionate eyes: "A man like Xiao Zhan is not worthy of you at all. I am the one who suits you best. Your Highness, Princess, as long as you give me a chance..."
Before she finished speaking, Jiang Xue suddenly felt nauseous. Fu Dong hurried forward to support her: "Princess, are you feeling unwell again?"
Jiang Xue smiled slyly: "It was fine at first, but I guess the baby in my belly heard something unpleasant and felt uncomfortable, so I reacted like this."
Fu Dong was stunned for a moment, then realized that his princess was mocking Huangfu Shang for his harsh words, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
Huangfu Shang was shocked: "You are pregnant with Xiao Zhan's child?"
They were supposed to be the same kind of people, she should belong to him, how could she have someone else's child?
"I am Yun Che's official wife, so it's normal for me to be pregnant with his child."
Jiang Xue raised her eyebrows and said, "But looking at the Second Prince, he seems very surprised?"
Huangfu Shang looked at her coldly, and after a long while he said, "Your Highness, Princess, since you know my feelings, why do you trample on them like this?"
“But I don’t care about your feelings. In this life, I only want Yun Che. If there is an afterlife, I will still choose him.”
Huangfu Shang sneered: "Then I wish the princess can get what she wants."
In fact, he was thinking, even if she married someone else and had someone else's child, what would it matter? One day, he would take her back from Xiao Zhan.
After leaving the envoy's villa, Jiang Xue got on the carriage and told the guards: "It's still early, let's go to the general's mansion."
She hadn't seen Jiang Xiaowei for a long time, and today she happened to be free, so she went over to see her.
When Jiang Xiaowei learned that Jiang Xue was visiting, she immediately came out to greet her, personally took her to her yard, and handed her a bowl of ginger soup: "The weather is cold, drink some ginger soup to warm your body."
Jiang Xue drank the ginger soup with a smile and felt much warmer.
As she put the bowl down, she noticed a frame on the table filled with tiny clothes, shoes and hats for babies.
She picked up a tiger-head hat. The little tiger embroidered on it was lifelike and very cute.
"Did you do all this?"
Jiang Xiaowei nodded: "After I got pregnant, no one wanted me to worry about anything. I was really bored, so I did these."
"It's so beautiful. You have such skillful hands. I'm so happy to be your child."
Jiang Xue joked: "But my children are not so lucky, because I can't do anything."
The late queen once taught her embroidery, but she was naughty when she was a child and was unwilling to sit down and learn; later, she shouldered heavy responsibilities and had no time to learn these delicate skills.
"Most women in the world are good at needlework, but few can pick up a sword to defend their homes. Therefore, being the eldest princess's child is truly lucky."
"Xiao Wei, you are always so good at comforting people."
"I'm just telling the truth, not trying to comfort you."
Jiang Xiaowei replied, "I made these small clothes in duplicate, and I plan to give them to the princess's unborn child. I hope she won't dislike them."
"How could I not like such a thoughtful gift?"
"Then I'll have Chinen pack up the things that she prepared so you can take them with you when you return."
"OK."
The two continued to talk for a while before Jiang Xue got up and left. Not long after she left, a woman in gray cloth walked towards the gate of the general's mansion.
When I returned to the princess's mansion, Xiao Zhan was already waiting at home.
"It's lunch time now, you must be hungry." He said, pinching her nose gently.
"I am indeed a little hungry, but I don't know what 'special' food the kitchen has made today."
In order to keep her full, even buns can be filled with stinky tofu. What else can’t become stinky?
"Why don't we go to the dining room and take a look?"
Today's dishes are mutton soup stewed with houttuynia cordata and smoked bacon fried with houttuynia cordata.
Houttuynia cordata has a unique taste. Most people think it smells like dead fish and is difficult to swallow.
However, after tasting it, Jiang Xue felt that it tasted good. She did not feel nauseous at all, but instead her appetite was greatly increased.
Compared with stinky tofu and stinky mandarin fish, these two dishes are much better. At least you won’t have a bad smell on your body after eating them.
