Chapter 330 My Husband Dotes on Me, and the Empress is Pregnant with a Prince!
Xiao Xingyuan never expected that he would say the wrong thing again. Looking at her puffed-up, sulky face, he found her incredibly cute.
"Oh dear, look how carelessly I spoke!"
"My wife is the most generous and tolerant woman in the world, how could she not be happy?"
Xiao Xingyuan held Meng Yanzhi in his arms and gently coaxed her.
Looking at Xiao Xingyuan's gentle demeanor in front of her, Meng Yanzhi felt somewhat unfamiliar. For some reason, she suddenly thought of the first time they met. At that time, Xiao Xingyuan was full of coldness and ruthlessness, completely different from how he was now.
Noticing Meng Yanzhi staring at him, Xiao Xingyuan became curious and quickly asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I just think you look really good right now."
"Ah Yuan, I wish our son could look exactly like you."
Meng Yanzhi touched her lower abdomen, and the corners of her mouth slightly turned up.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Meng Yanzhi said in a low voice, "I wonder what kind of uproar will occur after this child is born. After all, Aman is a princess, so the court officials won't think too much about it. But this is a prince... I'm afraid the Crown Prince will have a lot of concerns."
It wasn't that Meng Yanzhi was petty; it was just that she had spent a lot of time in the palace recently, so she had become very perceptive in this regard.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xingyuan couldn't help but smile and then said, "Even if you have ten or eight more children, the Crown Prince will still be the Crown Prince. I have no intention of binding our children to that position. I can't bear to see our children suffer."
It was precisely because Xiao Xingyuan himself had been an emperor that he knew all too well how arduous it was to be one.
Upon hearing this, Meng Yanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and then said with a smile, "That's good. I'm just afraid that others don't know that you think this way, and even if they do, I don't know if they will be suspicious."
Seeing Meng Yanzhi's worried expression, Xiao Xingyuan said directly, "Alright, alright, don't think so much. These are things I should be worrying about, and I shouldn't be making things difficult for you. Alright, you should rest now and take care of the baby in your belly."
Meng Yanzhi was pregnant, so she had to be extra careful on her way back. As time went by, the baby grew bigger and bigger, and Meng Yanzhi, exhausted from the long journey, became thinner and thinner, and her complexion became worse and worse.
Finally, when the child was eight months old, they returned to the capital and the palace.
Seeing Meng Yanzhi return with her big belly, Xiao Yumi was overjoyed: "Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty the Empress! Congratulations, Your Majesty the Empress!"
"Yes, I'm very tired and want to rest first." Meng Yanzhi was feeling quite unwell after the long journey by car.
Seeing Meng Yanzhi like this, Xiao Yumi felt a pang of heartache and quickly arranged for Meng Yanzhi to lie down and rest, then pulled Qingdao along as they walked outside.
"Has everything been peaceful outside lately?"
"There will be no trouble at all, so don't worry."
Qingdao chuckled and poked Xiaoyumi's forehead, saying, "As for you, how have you been in the palace these past few days? Have you been throwing your weight around?"
"Miss is back!"
Upon receiving the news, Mingchu rushed over with his child.
Qingdao was chatting and laughing with Xiaoyumi, but his expression turned ugly as soon as he saw Mingchu.
Her eyebrows were furrowed tightly as she looked at Mingchu with displeasure: "What are you doing here?"
"Knowing that Miss has returned, I came here specifically to see how Miss is doing?" Mingchu looked inside with a worried expression.
Qingdao snorted coldly and said, "You should watch your words. She's not just some young lady, she's a concubine, the Empress. Even if the Empress isn't a petty person, you still can't be ignorant of the rules!"
When Meng Yanzhi was around, she would always refute anything Qingdao said.
But to her utter surprise, Meng Yanzhi wasn't there today. Mingchu blushed a little at her words: "Yes, it's all my fault. It's my fault for being so unruly."
"How is Her Majesty the Empress now?" Mingchu asked again.
Qingdao's expression changed as he looked at her submissive attitude. He then said in a sullen voice, "Your Majesty must be tired from your journey, so you are resting now. Please don't shout and disturb your rest!"
After saying that, Qingdao pulled Xiaoyumi and turned to leave.
Little Corn didn't like Ming Chu very much either, so she casually pulled him away with a light knife.
Watching the two people's backs, Mingchu's eyebrows furrowed tightly, and tears streamed down her face. She couldn't understand why these two people were treating her this way.
She didn't do anything wrong, did she?
Donggan Palace!
Mingchu led the child through the door with her head down, but when she sat down in the chair, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Seeing Mingchu like this, Xiao Ce, who was reading a book, was stunned: "Didn't you go to see the Empress Dowager? Why did you come back crying?"
"Her Majesty the Empress is resting. Qingdao said not to disturb her, so I came back."
"I haven't seen the Empress for a long time, so I missed her terribly and cried."
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, he did not speak out about the difficulties he had suffered, but simply made up an excuse.
Even though Mingchu was always looked down upon and disliked by Qingdao, Mingchu knew in her heart that Qingdao and Xiaoyumi were genuinely good to Meng Yanzhi. As long as they were good to Meng Yanzhi, Mingchu didn't care about any grievances or not.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ce sensed something was amiss: "Then, is Mother not feeling well?"
"I heard that Her Majesty the Empress returned with a big belly. I wonder if the child is real or not."
"We'll only know after we see it."
Mingchu held the child and let out a long sigh.
Seeing this, Xiao Ce smiled faintly and said directly, "If it's true, it would be a good thing!"
Good thing, but what makes it good?
Seeing Xiao Ce looking so carefree, Ming Chu sighed and subconsciously glanced at the child in her arms.
Seeing this, Xiao Ce's expression also changed: "Don't speak carelessly in front of the Empress Dowager. As for the child, these are matters between the two of them, and it's not appropriate for us to speak about them."
"Yes, I understand." Ming Chu nodded, then turned and strode inside.
A day and a night passed, and Meng Yanzhi finally woke up.
She opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Xingyuan, who was standing close to her. A slight smile appeared on her lips, and she said softly, "Have I been sleeping for a long time?"
