Chapter 247 Pregnancy is super sweet! The Emperor is showering us with sweetness in his study!
This was the first time Ling Xiao had ever seen Meng Yanzhi's possessiveness towards Xiao Xingyuan, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was mainly because before, he had only seen Xiao Xingyuan's love and possessiveness towards Meng Yanzhi. At first, Ling Xiao even thought that Meng Yanzhi didn't like Xiao Xingyuan at all and was just using him!
But looking at Meng Yanzhi now, it's pretty much certain that she really, really likes him!
"Then do as you please, otherwise, both of you will suffer!"
"Have you ever considered that Xiao Xingyuan is also a person with his own thoughts? If he only wants to stay by your side and only wants you, then even if you ask him to leave, he won't leave!"
"In other words, it's difficult for you to keep him, isn't it?"
"Just let things take their natural course."
Ling Xiao smiled gently and looked at Meng Yanzhi.
This person is really something; he's just spouting nonsense!
Meng Yanzhi looked at Ling Xiao with some disdain, then, as if remembering something, she said, "But what about Consort Liu..."
"Are you going to treat Xiao Xingyuan as a favor and give him away?"
"Isn't that a bit disrespectful? That's really cruel and excessive to him!"
Ling Xiao immediately understood Meng Yanzhi's meaning and quickly emphasized the seriousness of the matter.
Upon hearing this, Meng Yanzhi felt a sudden sense of enlightenment. She immediately nodded and looked at Ling Xiao with a smile: "Yes, you're right. He's a person with his own thoughts. Whether he's willing or not, it's his own choice!"
After saying that, Meng Yanzhi immediately burst out laughing.
She stepped forward, patted Ling Xiao on the shoulder, and then said with a smile, "It seems you're quite capable as the Imperial Advisor!"
After saying that, Meng Yanzhi got up and walked outside. Ling Xiao stared at Meng Yanzhi's back and found it very funny. He had heard plenty of flattery in his life, but this was the first time he had heard such a simple and unpretentious thing!
However, for some reason, even though Meng Yanzhi's face was full of perfunctory attitude, Ling Xiao still felt a sense of satisfaction.
Meng Yanzhi went to the Imperial Study with food and drinks, sat down next to Xiao Xingyuan, leaned on the table, and watched Xiao Xingyuan review the memorials.
Xiao Xingyuan was originally focused, but he never expected that Meng Yanzhi would stare at him so intently that he couldn't concentrate at all.
He frowned, looking at Meng Yanzhi with a mixture of amusement and exasperation: "Why are you always staring at me like that?"
"I suddenly realized how beautiful you are, so I want to look at you more. I hope the baby in my belly will look exactly like you when it's born!" Meng Yanzhi's eyes crinkled as she spoke, clearly looking forward to the birth of her baby!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xingyuan immediately perked up and said, "But I still think you're prettier. I wish our child could look exactly like you!"
"Then let's have more! Some will look like me, and some like you, okay?" Meng Yanzhi laughed as she spoke, gently touching her lower abdomen. "I don't know if it'll be a boy or a girl. Actually, I'd prefer a son, so it won't be as difficult as it is with a daughter. These days, it's so hard for girls to live!"
Even princesses often find themselves in situations beyond their control.
But Meng Yanzhi laughed as she spoke: "Daughters are better. Daughters are well-behaved, and I would like them more!"
She looks a little silly now, her face full of anticipation for the child.
Looking at Meng Yanzhi's silly appearance, Xiao Xingyuan couldn't help but find it adorable and burst out laughing: "Whether it's a boy or a girl, as long as it's our child, I'll love it very much. You just eat your food and stay here with me, okay?"
"good!"
Meng Yanzhi immediately agreed and sat there obediently, tilting her head and staring at Xiao Xingyuan. Every now and then, Xiao Xingyuan would look up, and the moment their eyes met, there was always an unyielding tenderness between them.
Looking at Meng Yanzhi's cute and obedient appearance, Xiao Xingyuan felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction and happiness for the first time in his new Chinese style.
That evening, after finally finishing reading all the memorials, Xiao Xingyuan took Meng Yanzhi's hand and walked out of the imperial study together, where they were met by two young and beautiful concubines.
Their faces darkened at the sight of the two men's intertwined fingers, but they still bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, we pay our respects to the Imperial Concubine!"
"Um."
Xiao Xingyuan simply responded with a faint sound, then pulled Meng Yanzhi past them and strode towards the Begonia Palace.
"You vixen!"
One of the women turned pale with anger and clenched her teeth as she uttered a vicious curse.
"So restless even with a big belly, how shameless!"
The other one was also furious. She had thought that Meng Yanzhi would have a chance after having a child, but she never expected that things would still be like this!
Hearing their curses at her, Meng Yanzhi felt a little uncomfortable. Her face flushed, and she said sullenly, "Your Majesty, you'd better not stay here with me tonight!"
"Then where should I go?" Xiao Xingyuan gave Wang Huanhai a look.
Wang Huanhai immediately realized what was happening and hurriedly ordered his men to deal with the two gossipy women.
Seeing Meng Yanzhi's aggrieved look, Xiao Xingyuan, who was standing to the side, gently pinched her cheek with a helpless smile, then smiled gently and said, "Alright, alright, don't be sad. I will take care of these things for you. I have already thought about what you said about sending them away. As long as they are willing to leave, I will give them a thousand taels of gold. Let them go and live the life they want."
"Really?" Meng Yanzhi's eyes lit up when she heard this!
Seeing her excited expression, Xiao Xingyuan immediately disregarded the pressure he would face and nodded directly: "Yes, it's true."
"That's wonderful! Long live the Emperor!" Meng Yanzhi immediately jumped up with joy, looking at him with her eyes crinkling. "Your Majesty, you're so good to me! You're so kind!"
Xiao Xingyuan quickly pulled Meng Yanzhi back: "You're pregnant, you can't do this, you know?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Meng Yanzhi immediately laughed, her eyes crinkling as she took Xiao Xingyuan's arm and walked towards her Begonia Palace.
The next morning, Meng Yanzhi happily went to Consort Liu's palace.
Consort Liu now feels envious and even a little jealous whenever she sees Meng Yanzhi, especially when she thinks about the child in Meng Yanzhi's belly, which makes her feel even more distressed.
