Zhizhi's eyelids twitched suddenly, and she looked up at him. Nie Rong looked down at her.
The two looked at each other.
Nie Rong asked in surprise, "Are you hungry?"
Zhizhi:......
She hesitated to speak.
At this moment, my stomach jumped twice again.
A clearly visible force hit Nie Rong's palm. He suddenly widened his eyes, the strings in his brain suddenly broke, and he cried out in a broken voice,
"You're pregnant? The King is going to have a child!"
Congratulations to him, the father of my child who discovered I was pregnant three months late.
Zhizhi pondered in her heart.
Nie Rong was almost crazy with joy when he learned that Zhizhi was pregnant.
He wanted to tell the world that his little sweet pepper was pregnant with his child!
But reason told him that there was no time to rush.
"Don't invite the imperial physician from the palace. There are special doctors in the mansion. Zhizhi, the news of your pregnancy cannot be known to others for the time being." After Nie Rong was overjoyed, he became extremely calm.
He is not stupid and is very calculating.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to endure hardships for so many years.
You know, he still has scars from the battlefield on his body, and Zhizhi is always hurt by him.
Zhizhi was held in his arms, as if a big dog was kissing her face hard.
She asked intermittently, "Why... why?"
Nie Rong looked at Zhizhi, whose cheeks were flushed, with ecstasy, and especially wanted to rub her into his body. He whispered,
"The Emperor is a man of few tastes. Last night, he had sex with a young eunuch, causing the Empress to miscarry. Prime Minister Lin has been in the palace for the past night, and his daughter is engaged to me. If they knew you were pregnant at this critical moment, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to resist and attack you."
Zhizhi's pupils suddenly widened, "Can you blame me for this?"
Nie Rong shook his head. "Starting tomorrow, I'll arrange for more people to be around you. Be careful at the Princess's flower viewing banquet."
The doctor from the palace arrived soon, and after his diagnosis, Nie Rong learned that Zhizhi was almost three months pregnant.
He was both annoyed and regretful, but even so, he did not release Zhizhi from her confinement and coax her instead.
"It's probably not safe outside the palace either. Unless absolutely necessary, you should avoid going out."
Zhizhi was discouraged. She had been locked in the house for a month.
Nie Rong held her face and could not help but kiss her with joy.
"Be good, when the little one comes out, I'll take you out to play myself."
Zhizhi reluctantly agreed.
·
The eldest princess's flower-viewing banquet was very lively. Zhizhi entered the venue very low-key in a sedan chair from the palace.
Standing around where no one could see were the palace's secret guards.
As a member of the regent's family, even if she was just a concubine, Zhizhi's position was higher than that of many officials' wives.
After all, there are many officials, but only one regent.
Although she is pregnant, Zhizhi still looks beautiful in her clothes. With her looks, she looks good in whatever she wears.
Xiaohong followed Zhizhi closely, not daring to be distracted.
The man's guest seats were at the other end, separated from them by a long corridor, and he could vaguely hear the sounds from over there.
Zhizhi had just sat down.
A well-dressed woman, as frail as a willow in the wind, walked up to her, looked her up and down, and suddenly coughed with a handkerchief in her hand.
"You are the Regent's concubine, right?"
Zhizhi felt a little puzzled, "Do you know me?"
The woman pretended to cough again, and the handkerchief was suddenly stained with blood, which looked very scary. She stubbornly insisted,
"Of course you haven't seen me. Although Arong and I have broken off our engagement, he has been working hard all year round. Sister Zhizhi, you must take good care of her for me."
After hearing these words, Zhizhi knew that she was Prime Minister Lin's legitimate daughter.
The eldest princess’ banquet was grand, and the open-air venue was already full of people, just waiting for the host to arrive.
Zhizhi could clearly feel the eyes of the people around her looking at her, either overtly or covertly, filled with malice and contempt, but also a hint of sympathy.
"The Regent's concubine really has a foxy look!"
"That child from the Lin family is also stubborn. The Prince Regent is cold-blooded and ruthless, and it's obvious he's not a good match. I heard from the abbot of Huangjue Temple that if she marries in, she'll either die or be seriously injured! That concubine is unlucky for her!"
"Lin Piaoyi is so infatuated! There are few women in the world who are so infatuated and virtuous."
"She's just too impatient. Didn't I hear that she opened that red makeup shop just to please the Regent and let the prince know that she is also capable?"
Perhaps it was because Lin Piaoyi's reputation had plummeted recently, or perhaps they were too curious about the Regent's stunning concubine, but in any case, Zhizhi felt very uncomfortable.
Lin Piaoyi continued to mutter to her about Nie Rong's hobbies and habits. Although she didn't know where she heard it from, Zhizhi didn't want to listen at all.
Lin Piaoyi was so thirsty from talking that he could barely stand it. Seeing that Zhizhi still had an expression of watching a show, he immediately said in dissatisfaction,
"Are you listening to me? The Regent has taken in a concubine like you who doesn't know how to be kind. Who knows what suffering he will have to endure?"
People around him were still sighing at Lin Piaoyi's infatuation, saying that even though he had shown such weakness, the concubine still didn't know what was good for her.
It's her fault anyway, right?
Zhizhi blinked her thick eyelashes tremblingly. She avoided the hand that Lin Piaoyi extended, covered her nose with one hand, and spoke bluntly,
"Miss Lin, you've been coughing two or three times. Could it be tuberculosis? I heard it's deadly if it's contagious. If you're really worried about our prince, why don't you go home and get treatment?"
Lin Piaoyi's face changed drastically, she almost gritted her teeth and said,
"What the hell are you talking about?"
The people around suddenly became quiet and then took several steps back.
