Chapter 331 Double Happiness! My brother and Hanqing are getting married!
"Yes, I've slept for a whole day and night."
"But you look much better. The imperial physician and Ling Xiao have both examined you. You're just too tired."
Xiao Xingyuan smiled gently, helped Meng Yanzhi up, and then kissed her.
Are you hungry?
Meng Yanzhi slept for a whole day and night without realizing it, but now that she's awake, her stomach is rumbling.
She leaned against Xiao Xingyuan, nodded, and said sullenly, "I'm hungry, very hungry, but I don't want to get up. Can I eat in bed?"
"Okay." Xiao Xingyuan nodded and immediately agreed. He then instructed his men to place a small dining table on the bed and looked at Meng Yanzhi with a smile: "Eat up, these are your favorite mutton buns!"
Seeing how lenient Xiao Xingyuan was with her, Meng Yanzhi felt a sweet warmth in her heart: "The baby is due in a month, so I want to prepare in advance..."
"Don't worry, I've made all the preparations. For the next month or so, you don't need to do anything. Just eat and sleep, sleep and eat. You just need to take good care of yourself."
"good."
Xiao Xingyuan casually grabbed a mutton bun and handed it to Meng Yanzhi.
Meng Yanzhi nodded and began to eat heartily.
Although she had eaten plenty of local specialties along the way, Meng Yanzhi still felt incredibly happy when she ate food from the Imperial Kitchen. She said with a smile, "There's no place like home, and I really miss the Imperial Kitchen's cooking!"
"This is the imperial palace, and you still call it a doghouse?"
"You eat, I have a lot to do, so I won't keep you company."
Xiao Xingyuan laughed out loud, then got up and called Wang Huanhai in to serve him.
Wang Huanhai walked in and was stunned to see Meng Yanzhi sitting on the bed eating heartily. He never expected that he would indulge her to this extent.
Where can you find concubines sitting on the bed eating and drinking while the emperor stands on the ground?
But ironically, this kind of scene happens to these two people, and it doesn't feel out of place at all!
"Your Highness, the young marquis and his wife have arrived and say they wish to see you!" Qingdao walked in with a smile, followed by Gu Hanyue and Zhao Bailu.
Zhao Bailu has given birth to a big, healthy baby boy. The child is less than six months old and has a cute, chubby face.
"Hey! Come here quickly, let me see!"
When Meng Yanzhi saw the child in Zhao Bailu's arms, she immediately reached out excitedly.
But Zhao Bailu simply handed the child to the wet nurse beside her and said, "You're pregnant yourself now, what are you doing looking at other people's babies? After your child is born, raise all these children together and look at them to your heart's content!"
Meng Yanzhi then belatedly realized that with her belly so big, she definitely couldn't hold the baby.
"Bai Lu, I miss you so much!" Meng Yanzhi reached out her hand to Zhao Bai Lu.
Zhao Bailu strode forward and gently hugged Meng Yanzhi, then said with a smile, "I missed you too, Yanzhi. You've really gotten more and more plump now. I think you look much better than when you were thin!"
Um?
Upon hearing this, Meng Yanzhi almost instinctively touched her cheek, looking at Zhao Bailu with a face full of horror: "Have I gained weight? Have I gained a lot of weight?"
"No, you're so plump and adorable now! Look at your little face, all rosy and beautiful!" Zhao Bailu smiled at Meng Yanzhi and couldn't resist reaching out to rub her cheek.
Helpless, Gu Hanyue gently tugged at Zhao Bailu's sleeve. Even though she now had a child, Zhao Bailu was still as childlike as before.
Zhao Bailu glanced at him: "Why are you pulling me?"
"Don't be so presumptuous in front of Her Majesty the Empress." Gu Hanyue had no choice but to tell the truth.
Zhao Bailu rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "In your eyes, she is naturally the Empress, but in my eyes, she is Meng Yanzhi, my good sister!"
"Yanzhi, I have some fantastic news to share with you. My brother and Sister Hanqing are getting married! Our two families will be doubly happy."
Zhao Bailu, holding Meng Yanzhi's hand, smiled and told her the good news.
What?
Meng Yanzhi was overjoyed when she heard the news.
She immediately grabbed Zhao Bailu's hand: "Really? Are you sure? Are we really getting married?"
"Yes, that's about it. The betrothal gifts have all been sent. Sister Hanqing has always liked my brother, and now she's finally got what she wanted." Zhao Bailu leaned on Meng Yanzhi's shoulder and raised an eyebrow at Gu Hanyue.
Seeing Zhao Bailu's smug expression, Gu Hanyue couldn't laugh. He snorted and then said sullenly, "I thought the two of them would drag it out for a while, but I didn't expect that my sister would be back home for just over a year and already... really!"
"What's wrong? Our two families live so close. Is it wrong for your sister to marry my brother?"
"Don't worry, your brother, parents and I will take good care of your sister. We will definitely not let her suffer any injustice."
"Besides, my sister married the person she loves, so she must be very happy."
Zhao Bailu smiled gently, then stood up and took Gu Hanyue's arm.
"Just like you married the person you love, and I married the person I love, it's the same thing, don't you think?"
Zhao Bailu used to never say such sweet words, but after giving birth, she seemed to have suddenly become perceptive, looking at Gu Hanyue with her eyes crinkling with tenderness and love.
Seeing the two of them like this, Meng Yanzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Seeing you two so harmonious and happy makes me feel at ease!"
"Don't worry, Rouge, we're fine."
"But you must be tired from your long journey. Is the baby in your belly alright?"
Zhao Bailu looked at Meng Yanzhi with a face full of heartache.
Meng Yanzhi shook her head, casually leaned back on the cushion, and said lightly, "Don't worry, they've taken good care of me the whole way, nothing will happen."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Bailu was finally satisfied: "By the way, didn't you have something to say to His Majesty? You can go now, I have something to say to Yanzhi alone."
Gu Hanyue shook her head helplessly at Zhao Bailu's unrestrained speech, bowed to Meng Yanzhi, and then turned to walk outside.
Zhao Bailu immediately sidled up to Meng Yanzhi like a kitten and whispered, "Yanzhi, look, he used to be such a spoiled brat, but now he's like a completely different person, and he's even becoming more and more well-behaved."
Upon hearing this, Meng Yanzhi nodded in agreement: "He has indeed matured a lot, but that's a good thing!"
