Chapter 108 Touching the Belly
Fu Wanquan, who was serving the pen and ink, was startled when he heard this and subconsciously looked at His Majesty.
His Majesty, who was writing furiously, had his pen dropped from his hand. He looked stunned and remained silent for five full seconds before suddenly standing up with an unprecedented joy on his face.
He stood up and walked to Fulin in two steps.
"Is what you said true?"
Fulin didn't expect the emperor to react so strongly. He was stunned for a second and nodded.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the servants at Roufu Palace said that Imperial Physician Zhou diagnosed Concubine Shen as pregnant."
?
When Fu Wanquan heard this, he closed his eyes.
This child is really hopeless.
The smile on Xiao Chenglan's face disappeared in an instant. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Fulin with great displeasure.
"Tell me again, whose pulse is it?"
Fulin felt a sense of oppression coming towards him, and he shuddered, "Mrs. Shen...Mrs. Shen."
Xiao Chenglan endured it again and again, but in the end he couldn't help but kicked Fulin on the leg and scolded him:
"You've been following Fu Wanquan for so long, yet you're still so stupid!"
Fulin was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down! I know I was wrong! My words and actions just now were rude and too reckless!"
Fu Wanquan simply couldn't bear to watch it.
His Majesty has never favored anyone else, and when someone came in just to talk about a pregnancy, the person His Majesty thought of was naturally Empress Chongyi.
As a result, His Majesty was disappointed.
Fu Wanquanxin said that His Majesty was merciful in not dragging him out and giving him a beating.
However, His Majesty's mood had just been so up and down that he had not yet recovered, and he really had no intention of dealing with anyone.
Seeing this, Fu Wanquan stepped forward and hit Fulin several times with his whisk.
"You tactless person, get out of here! You're still an eyesore to His Majesty!"
Fulin knew that his master was protecting him, so he left quickly.
Xiao Chenglan stood where he was, rubbed his brows with his hands, and tried to calm himself down.
In that moment just now, he thought a lot, but it all came to nothing in an instant.
Yes, Jiang Yingli’s body hasn’t recovered yet, so there’s no need to rush.
Don't be impatient.
but……
This noble lady Shen's pregnancy is really interesting.
Xiao Chenglan half opened his eyes, his dark eyes filled with coldness.
"Go to Roufu Palace."
Fu Wanquan hurried to prepare the imperial sedan chair.
**
In Roufu Palace, Song Wanyan and Shen Zhuxin had a long conversation for a while, waiting for the emperor to make a decision.
There was a noise at the door and they both turned around at the same time.
Jiang Yingli was standing there with half of her body leaning out.
The noise just now was that she almost knocked over the stand where the bonsai was placed.
Song Wanyan was very surprised, "Zhao Chongyi, why are you still here? Didn't you leave just now?"
Jiang Yingli pursed her lips and said, "Don't misunderstand, Concubine Song. I just returned and didn't eavesdrop on your conversation."
Song Wanyan thought, is this because of Shen Zhuxin's belly?
It would be better to eavesdrop so that they don’t have to wonder how to explain it.
Chen Zhuxin thought so too.
Ever since she saw Jiang Yingli turn back, she has been feeling uneasy.
She didn't know what Jiang Yingli thought about her being "pregnant".
"Why are you standing? Sit down, come and sit down." Song Wanyan called her.
Jiang Yingli entered the hall, but did not sit down. Instead, she walked straight to Chen Zhuxin.
She looked at Chen Zhuxin, then her gaze moved down to her belly, staring at it blankly with a dazed look.
"Are you really pregnant?" Jiang Yingli asked hesitantly.
Chen Zhuxin became increasingly nervous, her hands clenching her cuffs. She couldn't help but stand up and explain:
"Empress Chongyi, it's not what you think. I didn't..."
However, Jiang Yingli suddenly raised her eyes, and the two of them looked at each other within a short distance.
Chen Zhuxin heard Jiang Yingli ask her, "Can I touch your belly?"
In an instant, all of Chen Zhuxin's words were stuck in his throat.
There was an indescribable emotion in Jiang Yingli's eyes.
Clear and soft.
Chen Zhuxin was stunned for a while, then nodded subconsciously.
Jiang Yingli smiled slightly and carefully placed her palm on Chen Zhuxin's belly.
She lowered her eyes, her long raven-feathered eyelashes trembled slightly, and the corners of her eyes were a little red.
"Is there really a child of your majesty in here? Will it be the same as your majesty when he was a child?"
At that moment, Chen Zhuxin felt a little ashamed.
Before this, she actually thought that Jiang Yingli would resent her, and even thought that Jiang Yingli came back to cause trouble for her.
She doesn't quite understand love. She has grown up calculating everything clearly and doesn't like things that are unclear.
But now, the love before her was so strong that it was beyond her understanding. She could not measure it or calculate it clearly.
Song Wanyan was also stunned.
In the past, her feelings towards His Majesty and Jiang Yingli were just that they loved each other, nothing more.
But at this moment, she understood that this relationship was much deeper than she had seen.
In the past, Jiang Yingli would feel sad and aggrieved when she saw Chen Zhuxin walking with His Majesty, but today, when she heard that Chen Zhuxin was pregnant, she caressed her belly so gently.
Is there really anyone in the world who can love someone so much?
Song Wanyan suddenly started to have a headache again.
Previously, she was worried about how to explain to Jiang Yingli that Chen Zhuxin was not pregnant.
Now, seeing Jiang Yingli was so moved that she was about to cry, she was worried that Chen Zhuxin really didn't have a child in her belly.
The three people in the hall were each immersed in their own worlds, not noticing the movement at the hall door. Song Wanyan had dismissed the palace servants, so no one noticed that Xiao Chenglan had been standing at the door for a long time.
Xiao Chenglan stood at the door with his hands behind his back, his back looking a little stiff.
Fu Wanquan stood beside Xiao Chenglan, looking at Xiao Chenglan's expression, he couldn't help but pull his sleeve to wipe his eyes.
Xiao Chenglan raised his hand, and Fu Wanquan then announced loudly.
"Your Majesty has arrived—"
Song Wanyan and Shen Zhuxin looked at each other immediately, as if they had found a life-saving straw.
Your Majesty, please explain this matter yourself!
Song Wanyan and Shen Zhuxin both knelt down and saluted.
Jiang Yingli turned around and saw Xiao Chenglan walking towards her with somewhat anxious steps.
Jiang Yingli grinned: "Your Majesty, have you heard that Concubine Shen is pregnant? Hey - where are you going, Your Majesty?"
Xiao Chenglan walked up to Jiang Yingli, took her hand, and pulled her out of the hall without saying anything.
Jiang Yingli was still confused: "Your Majesty, won't you check on Concubine Shen first?"
As he spoke, Xiao Chenglan had already stood still, his hands on her shoulders, his eyes lowered, looking at her deeply, with strong emotions surging in his eyes.
He came so quickly because he was thinking about the fact that Concubine Shen was pregnant. No matter who was behind this, he had to let Jiang Yingli know that it was fake first, so that she wouldn't be hurt again.
However, he didn't expect that when he arrived, he actually heard Jiang Yingli asking Chen Zhuxin if he could touch her belly.
He couldn't express in words how shocked he was when he saw Jiang Yingli reaching out and caressing Concubine Shen's belly.
At that moment, everything became distant and blurred in his sight, only Jiang Yingli and her love for him were extremely clear.
"Why are your Majesty's eyes red?" Jiang Yingli became nervous and touched the corners of Xiao Chenglan's eyes with her fingertips.
Xiao Chenglan's breath trembled a little, "Silly Li'er."
Jiang Yingli wanted to ask why he suddenly said she was stupid, she was not stupid, but Xiao Chenglan hugged her tightly in his arms without any warning.
