Fu Yanci grabbed the little hand that was making trouble on his chest and held it tightly in his palm.
"I've been holding it in for three months. If I keep holding it in, even a healthy person will get sick!"
"Brother Yanci, just let me go to the Eastern Palace to find Lanyue. I promise to be extremely careful and not let the baby in your belly get hurt, okay?"
Fu Yanci pursed his lips and looked at Jiang Jingyu who was acting coquettishly towards him, and said in a deep voice: "You can't do it either."
It was true that he wanted to have a child with her, but the child would not be as good as her.
No one can replace her place in his heart.
Jiang Jingyu's heart softened, and she kissed Fu Yanci on the cheek: "As you command, husband."
Fu Yanci tilted his head and sealed her red lips.
Fu Yanci didn't let Jiang Jingyu go until she started to breathe heavily, his eyes full of doting and helplessness.
"I'll take you to the East Palace."
He had an unquestionable look on his face. If the prince was not there, he would have followed Jiang Jingyu to the Eastern Palace in person.
Jiang Jingyu knew that this was Fu Yanci's last bottom line, so she did not refuse and let him personally escort her to the Eastern Palace.
Half an hour later, East Palace.
Only after seeing Jiang Jingyu enter the Eastern Palace with his own eyes did Fu Yanci return the same way.
The Crown Princess had instructed that whenever Jiang Jingyu came to the Eastern Palace, there was no need to inform anyone and she could just bring her directly.
When Jiang Jingyu followed the palace maid to the back garden, the Crown Princess was sitting in the pavilion reading a book.
Although her gaze was always on the book in her hand, her eyes had long been empty. She didn't even notice Jiang Jingyu's arrival. She was obviously a little absent-minded.
The palace maid who led Jiang Jingyu was about to report, but Jiang Jingyu raised her hand to stop her. The palace maid nodded and stepped aside obediently.
Jiang Jingyu curled the corners of her mouth and walked towards the pavilion lightly.
When there was only one step left to the pavilion, the Crown Princess still did not notice Jiang Jingyu's figure. Jiang Jingyu stood on the steps, looking at the Crown Princess in front of her with a smile.
"My lady, you're holding the book upside down."
Hearing the familiar voice, the Crown Princess suddenly looked up, and Jiang Jingyu's bright smiling face immediately came into her sight.
"Jingyu? It's really you! Why are you here?"
The Crown Princess stood up, walked towards Jiang Jingyu with surprise and joy, and took her arm affectionately.
Jiang Jingyu raised her eyebrows and joked, "If I don't come again, I'm afraid my soul will be lost!"
The Crown Princess coughed twice and defended herself, "This book is so boring that I lost my concentration."
Jiang Jingyu saw through it but didn't say anything. She sat under the pavilion with the Crown Princess.
At this moment, there was no status restriction between the two of them. They were more like close friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, sitting together and talking about the interesting things that had happened recently.
The Crown Princess took Jiang Jingyu's hand and said with a smile: "Time flies so fast. Three months have passed in the blink of an eye. I remember the last time I saw Jingyu was last time."
Jiang Jingyu: “…”
It turns out that nonsense literature is passed down from generation to generation.
"Jingyu, how is the baby in your belly? Is it making any noise? I always feel that the baby is moving these days. I don't know if it's just my imagination."
Jiang Jingyu touched her flat belly and shook her head: "No."
Apart from some morning sickness at the beginning, Jiang Jingyu had a normal three months. If it weren't for Fu Yanci, the old lady and others who were always nervous, she would have forgotten that she was still a pregnant woman.
The Crown Princess also touched her belly, which was not yet visible, and her whole body exuded the radiance of motherhood.
"The baby in Jingyu's belly must be a good baby."
At this time, the personal nanny serving beside the Crown Princess came over with a plate of freshly washed fruits. After hearing what the two said, she shook her head and smiled.
"Your Majesty, fetal movement usually starts between four and five months. Young Madam's pregnancy is a month later than yours, so naturally she can't feel it now."
"When your majesty is a little older, the fetal movements will become more frequent. By then, the little prince or princess in your belly will kick your belly to communicate with you!"
The Crown Princess's face showed understanding: "I see."
Thinking that the child will meet her in a few months, the Crown Princess is already looking forward to it.
She touched her belly and said softly, "I hope Your Highness can come back soon."
Jiang Jingyu's eyes flickered slightly. Seeing that the Crown Princess's expression did not change when she mentioned the Crown Prince, she asked, "Has His Highness received any news on when he will return to the court?"
The Crown Princess shook her head. "Yesterday, His Highness sent a message saying that the disaster situation in Jiangnan has gradually stabilized, but there are still some matters that His Highness needs to deal with personally. I don't know when His Highness will return, but I think it will be soon."
Since going to Jiangnan, the prince would write a letter to the Eastern Palace every day. Although the letter arrived in the hands of the Crown Princess a few days ago, the Crown Princess did not mind. These letters became her support these days.
Every day I would receive a letter from Jiangnan, learning about the prince's situation and daily life there, and my life gradually became more hopeful.
"It will definitely be soon." Jiang Jingyu patted the Crown Princess's hand and changed the subject: "We haven't seen each other for a while. I wonder if your hands are numb. Come on, let's do some?"
The Crown Princess' eyes lit up: "Great! When Jingyu was away, I spent all day immersed in these flowers, plants and books. I've long been tired of it. I've been looking forward to your coming!"
"It has already been prepared for the Empress and the Young Madam."
The nanny thoughtfully presented a wooden box and took out the leaf cards inside.
…
After returning to the general's mansion, Fu Yanci went straight to the study to continue dealing with the matters that had not been completed.
Although he and the prince were far away in Jiangnan and Kyoto respectively, they had been keeping in touch through letters for the past three months.
When the prince first arrived in Jiangnan, everything went wrong. Various troubles came one after another, and the prince was almost busy and overwhelmed.
The prince told Fu Yanci all these things in detail, and finally the two of them handled these difficult matters one by one with the tacit understanding they had gained over the years.
The burden on the prince is now much lighter, and he can return to the court after dealing with the aftermath.
But both of them knew that returning to the capital would not be so smooth, and there would definitely be someone behind the scenes trying to prevent the prince from returning.
Both of them knew who was manipulating all this behind the scenes. What they had to do now was to deal with all the follow-up of Jiangnan and not give that person any chance to take advantage of any loopholes.
On the other side, the Third Prince’s Mansion.
The third prince, whose plans had been repeatedly disrupted, was now standing in front of the study window with an unclear expression. He was turning the ring in his hand, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After waiting for a while, a guard hurried over, knelt on one knee behind the third prince, and handed him a secret letter with both hands.
"Your Highness, this is a secret letter that just arrived from Jiangnan!"
