Five days later, Xiao Yunrou's date, which was usually punctual, was two days late. Xiao Yunrou had a clue in her mind and asked someone to invite the court doctor to take her pulse.

.

Pei Lingfeng was taking a day off today and was handling some work in the study in the front yard. When he heard Liufeng report that Xiao Yunrou had asked the palace doctor to come over, he frowned.

He kept Yun Rou's abnormal behavior in mind and even called a court physician today. Is there something wrong with her body?

Pei Lingfeng was worried about Xiao Yunrou and had no time to deal with his business. He quickly locked up his things and rushed to Derou Garden. As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw

The court doctor was taking Xiao Yunrou's pulse, and the questions he had prepared were put on hold.

Xiao Yunrou was slightly startled when she found Pei Lingfeng coming back. Pei Lingfeng sat down next to Xiao Yunrou, stared at the court doctor nervously, and asked in a low voice:

"Why didn't you tell me you were feeling unwell?"

Xiao Yunrou smiled faintly and did not respond. After all, she was not completely sure yet. If it was not true, wouldn't it be just a false alarm? Why would she tell him?

Tell Pei Lingfeng.

As soon as the court doctor's hand left Xiao Yunrou's wrist, Nanny Su beside her hurriedly asked, "Court doctor, how is my wife?"

The court doctor smiled and bowed to Pei Lingfeng and Xiao Yunrou, saying, "Congratulations, Prince, and Madam, it's a pregnancy pulse."

Pei Lingfeng was so overwhelmed by the joy that he turned around, while Nanny Su and others knelt down to congratulate him.

"Congratulations, Prince, and congratulations, Madam."

"Is it really pregnancy? Are you sure?"

Pei Lingfeng asked the court doctor in disbelief. After receiving the doctor's confirmation, he realized that he was going to be a father again, two years earlier.

Pei Lingfeng looked at Xiao Yunrou's lower abdomen. Was that his Jin'er?

"How is the Crown Prince's wife? Is there anything you need to be careful about? Is there anything you can't eat? What should you eat more of?..."

Pei Lingfeng asked a lot of questions in one breath, which was totally unlike a father.

Although he had never held a child, he had a little more love for Pei Yuanjin.

He attaches great importance to this pregnancy of Rou.

Pei Lingfeng thought to himself that this time he must stay by Xiao Yunrou's side and carefully nurture the birth of their child.

The court doctor smiled as he saw Pei Lingfeng caring so much about Xiao Yunrou's child. He couldn't help but sigh that the rumors were indeed true. The prince loved his wife very much.

.

"Yes, congratulations, His Majesty. His Majesty's wife is in good health. Here is a list of things to avoid eating."

The elders in the family and the experienced mothers know this and usually tell the pregnant woman directly.

The young wives, not to mention Xiao Yunrou who had already given birth to a child, all had experience in taking care of them, and were not as nervous as Pei Lingfeng.

But the court doctor was not impatient at all. He answered Pei Lingfeng's questions very carefully, and then made a list before leaving.

When he returned to the house, a teasing letter was delivered to the hands of the marquis in the suburban villa.

Aunt Su, Hongzhuang and the others were delighted and very happy. They had already started planning what to feed Xiao Yunrou at every meal, including fruits and other things.

We need to prepare, especially as the New Year is approaching, and we can't let Xiao Yunrou get too tired, so we need to prepare everything in advance.

"Rou'er, we have another child!"

Pei Lingfeng's expressionless face was now filled with joy, and he hugged Xiao Yunrou excitedly.

At a glance, several people retreated quietly.

Xiao Yunrou looked at Pei Lingfeng so happy and smiled happily. His eyes were as bright as stars and seemed to be the most dazzling gemstones.

As bright.

"Well, we have another child. Xuan'er has a younger brother."

Pei Lingfeng reached out and gently held Xiao Yunrou in his arms, whispering:

"Well, Xuan'er has a younger brother now. I will protect you and our family will be fine."

Pei Lingfeng couldn't help but think of his sickly second son in his previous life, and his voice became a little choked.

He said to Xiao Yunrou seriously: "Rou'er, thank you." Thank you for being willing to give birth to our child.

Xiao Yunrou knew what he was trying to say without saying a word. She felt a little shy and a little touched, but she said nothing.

, just reached out and held Pei Lingfeng. At this moment, her heart was more at ease than ever before.

Pei Lingfeng also tightly grasped the softness in his hand, his heart was filled, and only at this moment did he feel complete.

The feeling of emptiness I had when I was reborn was finally filled at this moment.

He carefully picked up Xiao Yunrou and carried her into the bedroom, saying softly:

"Are you tired? Do you want to take a rest? You have just recovered from your illness, so you should rest and recuperate. Mother, don't go to pay your respects yet." Pei Lingfeng said as he

Liu Feng called in.

"Give orders to increase the monthly allowance for two months in Derou Garden. Then go and report this to your mother and tell her that this is what the Crown Prince said.

I won’t go to pay my respects until the fetus feels stable.”

Xiao Yunrou frowned slightly when she heard Pei Lingfeng's words. Although she didn't like Shen, she was her mother-in-law after all. If she didn't go because she was pregnant,

It's a bit hard to explain, and people around me don't know how many rumors there are.

"Sir, you should move around more now that you are pregnant, so that you can have a baby easily. Besides, it's not too far to go to your mother's place, so you can just chat with her for a while."

It won’t make you tired.”

Xiao Yunrou wanted Pei Lingfeng to change his mind, but Pei Lingfeng was very determined, so she didn't know how to persuade him.

I have a vague feeling that Pei Lingfeng's attitude towards Shen Shi is not right now. Although he is still respectful, it is only on the surface. He is also intentionally or unintentionally trying to prevent her from going.

Zhining Garden.

Xiao Yunrou didn't know if she was being overly suspicious, but seeing Pei Lingfeng's resolute look, she didn't insist with him. But she didn't want to go.

But people have to be sent to Ningyuan to report for duty every day, otherwise even more unpleasant words will be spread.

The two of them were talking in private in the room. Pei Lingfeng seemed to have completely forgotten the pile of things waiting for him to deal with in the study, and he was concentrating on accompanying her.

Xiao Yunrou. During this time, Shen sent Nanny Zhu to come over, congratulated her, put down the supplements and left. As for the Xiao family, Xiao Yunrou didn't think about it.

It's too early to send the news so quickly. We have to wait until the fetus is settled in three months.

It was almost noon, and Pei Lingfeng hurriedly told people to serve the meal.

A table full of delicious dishes, including chicken, fish and meat, and a pot of fragrant chicken soup.

Xiao Yunrou was served by a maid, but Pei Lingfeng was still holding chopsticks and picking up food for Xiao Yunrou.

The food in the bowl was piled up like a mountain, which made Xiao Yunrou feel helpless.

"My bowls are piled up like a mountain, Prince, you should enjoy your meal."

Xiao Yunrou thought that if she didn't say anything, Pei Lingfeng would really watch her eat all the food on the table, and she would be dead.

His appetite was better than before, but he couldn't eat that much. Seeing Pei Lingfeng staring at his bowl, he couldn't help but pick up a lot of food for Pei Lingfeng.

Less vegetables.

"Don't look at me, eat too. I can't finish all these dishes by myself."

Pei Lingfeng started eating with a smile.

After lunch, Pei Lingfeng carried Xiao Yunrou to the bed to rest. After seeing Xiao Yunrou fall asleep, Pei Lingfeng went to the study in the front yard to deal with some matters.

business.

The Xiao family learned that Xiao Yunrou was pregnant a month later at Xiao Yunya's coming-of-age ceremony. For this, Xiao Yunrou was complained by Su, who said that she didn't tell the family about such a big happy event. Xiao Yunrou tried to please Su, but Su's face softened. She asked someone to pack up half a carriage of things for Xiao Yunrou to take back to the Marquis' Mansion, which caused Shen's secret dissatisfaction.

"She brought a whole cart of stuff when she went back to her parents' home. Did our mansion treat her badly?"

Shen was still upset about Xiao Yunrou not coming to pay her respects. Although she knew that this was her son's order, she was convinced that it was Xiao Yunrou who whispered to Pei Lingfeng. If this continued, how much status would she, as a mother, have in her son's eyes?

In addition, the things that Su brought back for Xiao Yunrou this time made Shen completely unhappy, so she turned around and gave instructions to Nanny Zhu.

"She is pregnant and cannot serve Feng'er. How can she let Feng'er stay with her every day? If Liu is useless, then we can replace her and give Feng'er the two maids we have appointed before."

Since ancient times, it has been common for mothers-in-law to give concubines to their sons. When Xiao Yunrou saw these two good-looking and charming women, she just smiled faintly and arranged for them to live in Haitang Garden, which used to belong to Shen Tang.

In Xiao Yunrou's view, a concubine is just a toy. If Shen is willing to give it to her, she can do it. As for whether Pei Lingfeng is willing to go or not, it is not up to her to decide.

However, after this incident, Xiao Yunrou remembered that although Pei Lingfeng was not very interested in women in the past, he did not want women. Although he stayed in his own room all his life, it did not mean that he would not look for other women. Among the aristocratic families, how many of them did not have concubines? Even for the sake of face, they would take in a few.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunrou felt unhappy. She was dissatisfied with everything she saw and felt depressed.

When the lights were on, Pei Lingfeng came back against the frost. When he saw Xiao Yunrou sitting by the window, gloomy and dazed, his brows furrowed. He took off his coat and warmed himself in front of the stove before daring to approach Xiao Yunrou.

"What are you thinking about?" Pei Lingfeng gently put his arms around Xiao Yunrou and asked in a low voice.

Xiao Yunrou did not answer, but turned her head calmly to look at the pair of eyes that could not hide their concern for her, and her heart softened.

Xiao Yunrou didn't say anything, and Pei Lingfeng felt it was even more strange. He glanced at Lv Yi who was about to leave, and asked:

"What's wrong, ma'am?"

Lu Yi paused in her retreat, and seeing that Xiao Yunrou didn't seem to intend to speak, she thought for a moment and told her about the two concubines that Shen had sent over today. She couldn't help but shudder when she saw Pei Lingfeng's increasingly gloomy face, and retreated cautiously.

"Rou'er..." Pei Lingfeng rubbed Xiao Yunrou's neck and assured her in a low voice.

"You are the only one in my heart. I won't touch them. Don't think too much."

Pei Lingfeng was very annoyed with Shen's behavior. In the past, he had inserted a vicious Shen Tang into the company, and he didn't know what kind of person he would be this time.

Xiao Yunrou was shocked when she heard this. She turned to look at Pei Lingfeng and stared at him closely.

"Rou'er, believe me, there will never be another woman besides you in this life."
