But a sense of unease lingered in my heart. What if she really heard it? Should I explain to her? But how could I explain?
Nan Jinchu waited for a while, hoping that Wan Ge would come to find him, but after a quarter of an hour, she still did not appear. Finally, Nan Jinchu left the study and went to the courtyard where they lived.
…
As soon as Nan Jinchu entered the courtyard, she smelled a strong medicinal odor. Remembering that she was supposed to help Wan Ge take care of her health, Nan Jinchu knew that it was medicine prepared for Wan Ge.
Wan Ge seemed to struggle painfully for a long time before finally drinking the medicine. Just as Wan Ge was looking for something, a sweet pastry appeared in front of her.
When Wan Ge turned around, she saw Nan Jin Chu, so she asked softly, "Husband, did you finish your business so early today?"
The other party usually comes back after finishing their business. Did they finish everything so early today?
"Yes, I've finished all my work, so I can spend more time with you."
"Once you're done with your work, you can finally relax. By the way, I saw the imperial physician also came to see you. Did he take your pulse too?"
Looking at the other person's expression when they asked the question, Nan Jinchu didn't notice anything unusual and simply hummed in response.
"And what was the result? Is there anything wrong with my husband?"
"There's nothing wrong. Don't worry."
When Wan Ge heard him say that, she lowered her head slightly, looking very sad: "My husband is fine. It's all my fault for not being in good health. I can't give my husband a child for the time being."
When Nan Jinchu heard what the other party said, she felt a little guilty and quickly said, "I can recover my health. We will definitely have a child."
Seeing that the other person still had no intention of telling her the truth, Wan Ge didn't say anything more.
…
…
The next morning, Nan Jinchu looked at the medicine that had been delivered, waved his hand, and told them to take it away. Since Wan Ge was also looking forward to having a child, he didn't need to take the medicine anymore.
What will their child be like?
Nan Jinchu became happier and happier as he thought about it, and his happiness was visibly evident even in the court. The emperor naturally noticed this and asked, "Does the Regent seem to have encountered some joyous event that makes him so happy?"
Nan Jinchu coughed lightly twice, finally calming down a bit: "It's nothing, I just feel that it won't be long before you become a cousin."
After Nan Jinchu finished speaking, there was a chorus of congratulations, except for Jiang Shuyan, who was standing not far away, whose face grew increasingly dark.
Some people followed up on what Nan Jinchu said and requested the emperor to expand his harem to continue the family line.
However, the emperor quickly dismissed the matter, saying that the soldiers who had returned victorious from their battles should be the ones in the limelight today, and that he would refrain from discussing their topic for the time being.
As the emperor, his harem was now empty, and his courtiers were getting anxious. However, the regent had not married before, and the emperor had always used this as an excuse. Now that the regent had married, he had no excuse left.
Even someone as powerful as the emperor still faces some situations beyond his control.
Faced with their desire to stuff women into the harem, the emperor truly didn't want to listen anymore, but sometimes he had no choice but to listen, which was a real dilemma.
However, he still did not agree to the idea of marrying someone casually.
After the court session, Nan Jinchu saw Jiang Shuyan again, glanced at him indifferently, and said, "What does General Jiang want to say to me now?"
"Wange has your child?" Jiang Shuyan still looked incredulous.
Why is this happening? Does Nan Jin Chu really like her that much? Her words didn't cause him any dissatisfaction, and from what Nan Jin Chu said, they were going to have a child.
Wan Ge doesn't have one yet, of course; they're just planning to have a child this time, and they really mean it. But how could Nan Jin Chu tell the truth? She glanced at him indifferently and simply replied, "What's it to you?"
Jiang Shuyan didn't know why she asked such a question, but a strange sense of melancholy welled up in her heart.
“I… no matter what I say, it’s all about Wan Ge…” Jiang Shuyan was interrupted by Nan Jinchu before she could finish speaking.
Nan Jinchu's expression turned colder, and her voice carried a hint of pressure: "Please watch your words, young general. It is the Princess Consort. You should refrain from using such an intimate name as Wan Ge."
Can just anyone call her Wan Ge? She's his wife; only he can call her that.
Jiang Shuyan felt a sense of oppression and coldness, and a sense of fear arose inexplicably. She replied softly, "It is the Princess Consort... I have known the Princess Consort since childhood, so naturally I am concerned about her."
"No need for that. I have my own concerns for the Princess. I heard that a beauty has traveled a long way to see the young general. I hope the young general will cherish her." After saying this, Nan Jinchu left with a cold face.
…
When Jiang Shuyan returned home, he saw the woman sitting under the crabapple tree.
Li Qiuyin seemed to sense his dejected mood and walked over to him with the pastries in her hands.
"Ayan, you're back! I've learned how to make your pastries, would you like to try some?"
Jiang Shuyan looked down and saw a plate of ugly pastries. The other person's pastries weren't extremely bad, but having seen too many exquisite and beautiful pastries, Li Qiuyin's plate of pastries was indeed ugly to him.
However, under the other person's expectant gaze, Jiang Shuyan still picked up a piece to try.
Jiang Shuyan's previously calm expression changed drastically after tasting the pastries. Her face turned somewhat pale. Looking at the expectant Li Qiuyin, she asked softly, "Did Ayin not try the pastries after they were made?"
