Xingxing is two years older than Princess Changning, but because she is thin due to illness, she looks about the same age as her.
Jiang Ling accompanied Xingxing into the palace. Along the way, the little girl was very excited and curious, chattering to her about this and that.
When they saw the gate of Fengyi Palace, the little girl finally felt a little scared and timid, and pulled her hand and moved behind her.
Jiang Ling said to her gently, "The Queen is very gentle. You don't have to be afraid when you wake up. You just need to pay more attention to the rules."
Her voice was gentle. Xingxing pursed her lips, nodded slightly, and followed her in.
Zhou Ning'an is now six months pregnant. As her belly grows bigger, the palace servants serving her become more cautious.
"No need to be so polite, just get up."
She waved at Xingxing with a gentle smile on her face.
Jiang Ling squeezed her soft little hand and looked at her encouragingly. Xingxing took small steps towards her and called out softly, "Empress."
Zhou Ning'an had already heard about Xingxing's condition from Jiang Ling, and now seeing her thin and frail figure, he felt even more distressed.
She took Xingxing's hand and brought it towards her, smiling and saying, "Xingxing, don't be restrained. Just stay here and have a good time. Huaxu will be there to play with you. Just take care of yourself. You will definitely get better."
Xingxing looked up at Zhou Ningan's gentle smile and couldn't help but relax a lot. She smiled and thanked him: "Thank you, Queen."
At this time, Hua Xu came in from outside the door, and Zhou Ningan asked her to come over and meet the new partner.
The two little girls looked at each other, both full of curiosity about each other.
It was Hua Xu who spoke first: "Wake me up? My name is Hua Xu."
Xingxing nodded and saluted as her parents had taught her, "Princess Changning."
But Hua Xu frowned and said, "Just call me Hua Xu."
There weren't many playmates in the palace, and she didn't want another playmate with rules. What she wanted was a friend.
Xingxing was a little bewildered, and Zhou Ningan stepped in at the right moment and said, "Take Xingxing out to play. I have something to say to your aunt."
Hua Xu nodded, looked at Xingxing, took her hand, and said with a raised face, "I'll take you to the Imperial Garden. The flowers are in bloom and they are so beautiful."
Xingxing was being led by her, feeling a little lost. Jiang Ling smiled and comforted her: "Go, I'm right here."
Seeing the two little girls walking out hand in hand, Jiang Ling and Zhou Ning'an couldn't help but smile.
Zhou Ning'an beckoned her to sit next to her and said with a smile, "Hua Xu was very happy to hear that a sister about her age would be entering the palace."
"The princess is at an age of innocence, so naturally she wants companionship."
Jiang Ling turned to look at her bulging belly and asked with concern, "How are you these days, Madam? Are you okay?"
Zhou Ning'an smiled and nodded, then rubbed his stomach with his hand, "Everything is fine."
He looked at her again, "What about you? You have to be more careful with your first child."
"Thank you for your concern, Madam." Jiang Ling smiled. "It's still young, so there's nothing wrong with it."
"You have to be careful though. Is Bu Yan treating you well? If not, come and complain to me and I'll teach him a lesson for you."
Jiang Ling replied with a smile: "He is more nervous than me."
"He asks me questions every day and won't let me do anything. He's even more serious than Doctor Lin."
Zhou Ning'an smiled with his eyes curved, "He's really concerned about you."
Then he continued, "The Emperor is the same. He asks me three hundred times a day if I am okay. No wonder they can be close friends."
Both of them are pregnant, and their husbands are so clingy. They both have gentle personalities and have a lot to talk about every time they meet.

Fang Juexia said that Xingxing's illness can be cured, but it will take longer and she will suffer more. Xingxing is not afraid of these. As long as the disease can be cured, she can get rid of this sickly body and her family can rest assured.
Zhou Jing'an was still busy every day, and Jiang Ling also asked people to pay attention to the situation of the poetry meeting, hoping to find more clues.
Time quietly came to May 24th. Jiang Ling had just woken up and finished dressing when she received a letter from A Shui.
There were only a few words on the letter.
"Jiang Ling, I have decided to leave the capital tomorrow. Can I say goodbye to you before I leave?"
Jiang Ling was stunned for a long time, without asking any unnecessary questions. She just said to Ah Shui, "When will he leave?"
Ah Shui replied, "Early tomorrow morning, at the beginning of the morning."
Jiang Ling nodded, "Okay, I'll go see him off."
Ah Shui suddenly knelt down and kowtowed, "This servant wants to ask for mercy from the young lady."
She already knew what he wanted, and smiled slowly, "Okay, just follow Wanran and let Zizhen give you your slave contract."
Ah Shui was startled, kowtowed three times on the ground, and said in a choked voice, "Thank you very much, young lady."
On May 25th, Jiang Ling rode a carriage to the city gate and saw a figure in front of him as soon as he got off the carriage.
Wearing a blue shirt, he looks elegant and refined.
Jiang Ling smiled, just like always.
"Wanran." She called out.
The figure in front turned around in response. His eyebrows and eyes were delicate, as beautiful as jade and a picture. The moment his fox eyes saw Jiang Ling, they slowly revealed some tenderness.
"Jiang Ling." He responded.
Then he lowered his gaze to her still flat belly and asked, "How have you been lately?"
Jiang Ling smiled and said, "Okay."
There was a pavilion on the low slope outside the city gate. The two walked over and Jiang Ling asked him how the detoxification was going.
"Doctor He is a skilled doctor who has brought people back to health through his miracles." He continued, "Although Doctor He looks serious, he is very kind and refused to accept any gift from me."
In any case, he still has some savings.
