Chapter 105: Identity Revealed
Xiao Fuguang looked deep in his eyes and smiled faintly.
"My concubine, you are too kind. The abortion-preserving talisman is just a folk custom. You are carrying the royal bloodline in your belly, and you are naturally blessed by the Emperor's true dragon energy. Asking for the abortion-preserving talisman would be superfluous."
Looking at the faint smile on Xiao Fuguang's face, Aina tightened her grip slightly. This Xiao Fuguang really wasn't going to take the challenge at all.
The prince looked at Xiao Fuguang in surprise. It was just a blessing of peace, why would the imperial aunt refuse it?
Ayi Na spoke without giving up.
"Your Highness's words make sense, but Yiyi is a new mother, so she must be a little worried. I beg the Imperial Aunt to grant Yiyi a talisman to protect her pregnancy, so that she can rest assured and take care of her baby."
Looking at Aina's determined eyes, Xiao Fuguang held the teacup and began to look at her face carefully.
Suddenly I understood that I was not pregnant!
Looking at her bulging belly, it is true that there are many secret techniques in Southern Xinjiang, so it is not difficult for people to think that she is pregnant.
Xiao Fuguang suddenly sighed.
"Alas, to be honest with you, Crown Prince and Concubine, I have only been studying under the Imperial Master for a little over a year, and I haven't learned all these profound arts yet. Crown Prince knows that Master has been in seclusion for a long time. I would like to learn this pregnancy-preserving talisman, but unfortunately, Master is not here and there is no one to teach me."
Ayi Na spoke in shock upon hearing this.
"Ah... Princess, don't you know how to draw a talisman to protect the fetus?"
"This is a bit surprising."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fuguang did not look embarrassed at all, but spoke openly.
"It's really because Master went into seclusion urgently. After I got married, I was busy admiring the flowers and the moon with the prince all day long. I didn't learn how to draw talismans. Let alone a talisman to protect the fetus, I don't even know how to make a talisman for safety."
"After all, I am now the Regent Princess. With the Prince as my support, I don't want to work so hard."
Xuanyuan Jing's mouth twitched as he listened. Who was that person holding the ancient book all day? But he still cooperated and spoke.
"In the previous battle with Bei Pan, the princess suffered internal injuries and has never recovered. I feel sorry for her and can't bear to see her tired, so I won't let her learn those things anymore."
When Ayi Na heard this, the calculating look in her eyes became even more intense, but she still maintained a gentle smile and said.
"I see. It was Ayi Na who was abrupt. The princess's health is more important, and it was Ayi Na who shouldn't have forced it. But... Yi Yi is alone in this imperial city. Even though she's pregnant with Your Highness's child, she doesn't have many friends. When I saw the princess today, I felt particularly close to her. I wonder if I can come and talk to her in the future."
When you come next time, there will be no way I will see you, Xiao Fuguang said with a smile.
"The concubine is pregnant now, so logically she should stay in the mansion to recuperate. As for making friends, it all depends on fate. Who knows, once the concubine gives birth to a child, the child will bring blessings to her, and then she will have many friends."
As he said this, he glanced at her belly meaningfully.
Ayi Na's heart tightened at Xiao Fuguang's meaningful look. Could it be that she knew something? Her hand unconsciously touched her swollen belly, and she smiled with forced composure.
"The princess is right. The child is more important. Yiyi will definitely take care of the baby with peace of mind."
The atmosphere became quiet. The prince looked at Xuanyuan Jing, then at Xiao Fuguang. He could sense that it seemed that the emperor's uncle and aunt did not welcome him and Yiyi very much, but why?
She had no grudge against the emperor's uncle. If it was because of the proposal at the banquet, the emperor's uncle had also been very nice to her during the wedding banquet. It really made her puzzled.
Suddenly, Aina touched her belly and screamed.
"oops."
The prince looked at her nervously.
"What's the matter?"
Ayi Na grabbed the prince's hand nervously.
"The child is kicking me because he is unhappy."
"The imperial physician said earlier that I was about to give birth and asked me to walk around more every day. So when I was at the palace, I would walk around the garden every day after lunch. Today, I came to the Regent's Palace. Maybe I didn't walk around during this time, and the child is dissatisfied."
As she spoke, a motherly smile spread across her face, and then she looked at Xiao Fuguang.
"Princess, it's a rare opportunity for me to visit the palace. I wonder if you could lead the way and let me take the child for a stroll around the Regent's Palace."
Xiao Fuguang laughed when he saw this. It seemed that he would not give up until he achieved his goal.
It's too annoying to keep pulling and tugging. In that case, I might as well fulfill your wish.
"Since this is the child's habit, I can be considered the child's lifelong great-grandmother. Naturally, I have to accompany the child for walks."
I just happened to learn a new talisman recently, so I can try out its effects.
Xiao Fuguang raised his hand and shook Xuanyuan Jing's hand, taking the opportunity to stuff two talismans into his hand.
Your Majesty, remember to bring the prince to the pond.
And blinked.
She clearly didn't open her mouth to speak, but Xuanyuan Jing understood from the way she blinked that she was using some mysterious technique, and nodded slightly.
Xiao Fuguang stood up and spoke with a smile.
"Since we women are chatting, let's go for a walk. Your Highness, why don't you take the prince to the study to play chess and look at some paintings?"
Xuanyuan Jing also stood up.
"It just so happens that I got a special painting a few days ago. Since the Crown Prince is here today, please appreciate it with me."
Finally, she agreed, and a flash of success flashed across Aina's eyes.
"Thank you, Princess. Let's go."
Xiao Fuguang walked forward and kept a safe distance from her.
"When I saw you, I felt particularly close to you. Calling you 'Princess, Princess' seems a bit strange. Why don't you follow the Crown Prince and call me 'Imperial Aunt'?"
Ayi Na gritted her teeth when she heard this. This was an attempt to take advantage, but the Crown Prince and the Regent were both there, so Ayi Na had to speak unwillingly.
"What the Emperor said is true. Thank you very much, Emperor."
The garden of the Prince Regent's Palace is exquisitely laid out, with exotic flowers and plants competing for beauty, and rockery and ponds complementing each other.
Xiao Fuguang and Ayi Na strolled in the place, seemingly harmonious on the surface, but actually there were undercurrents.
"Auntie Huang, the scenery of the Regent's Palace is so unique that it makes people linger."
Aina tried to use words to narrow the distance between herself and Xiao Fuguang, but there was an imperceptible cunning in her eyes.
Xiao Fuguang smiled slightly and didn't take it seriously.
"As long as Concubine likes it, if you have free time in the future, you can come here often to add some vitality to this palace."
The two of them walked and talked, and before they knew it, they had reached the edge of a pond. Lotus flowers were in full bloom, and fish were swimming leisurely in the pond, creating a peaceful and tranquil scene.
"Aunt Huang, look how happily the fish are swimming. The baby in my belly is also moving vigorously, as if it also wants to see this beautiful scene."
Aina deliberately stroked her belly, her words full of tenderness and expectation.
Do you want to go to the pond? Xiao Fuguang's eyes flashed, and he seemed to understand Ayi Na's purpose. Alas, it's a bit boring. This method is too low-level and there is no challenge at all.
"In that case, let's go check out the fish."
The two walked towards the fish pond together.
Aina even stood by the fish pond.
After looking at the fish, I turned around and saw the fish pond behind me.
"Aunt Huang, do you think my child will be born safely?"
Xiao Fuguang watched her take a step back, put her hands behind her back, covered by her wide sleeves, and spoke with a smile while making hand seals.
"This is your child. Shouldn't you have the final say on whether he can be born safely?"
Aina smiled and stroked her belly when she heard this.
"The Princess Regent holds a high position of power in Xuanyuan, and she has the Prince Regent's backing. Whether I can give birth to this child depends on your wishes, Princess."
Xiao Fuguang glanced back and then stood to the left.
"Saintess of Southern Border, long time no see."
