Chapter 142 Pregnant with Twins
She wrapped her arms around his neck, leaned close to his ear, and whispered sweetly, "Academician Mei has already taken my pulse. I am pregnant with twins, one boy and one girl."
She blushed, surprised that they had come to her again in this life. She was ready to be their mother again, and she would have no regrets this time.
Xie Shang was overjoyed and kissed her lips again without thinking. He wasn't kissing her with lust, but with joy, a joy from the bottom of his heart. "How can my Ruan Ruan be so capable?"
Jiang Fenghua genuinely felt that his beard was prickly; she was afraid his beard had pricked her face until it turned red. Her skin was delicate and she couldn't stand being pricked.
She said, "It's the prince who has the real ability."
Overjoyed by Jiang Fenghua's praise, Xie Shang finally released her, and sure enough, he saw that her face was flushed. He stroked her cheek and asked, "Does Ruan Ruan know how to shave?"
"It's not some profound subject, I'm sure I know how to do it." She blinked and smiled mischievously. "I've seen Your Highness shave before, and I didn't think it was difficult."
Xie Shang didn't want her to serve him, but considering it was a fun activity between husband and wife, he complied.
Jiang Fenghua pulled him to sit in front of the dressing table, but after trying it out for a while, she felt it wasn't quite right, so she had him lie down on the soft couch. Once everything was ready, she moved her hands gently, her slender fingertips touching his face, and began to shave him in a very professional manner.
In front of Jiang Fenghua, Xie Shang completely let down his guard, his whole body relaxed. He closed his eyes to rest, feeling completely at ease. "Only after my trip to Jiangnan did I realize that the world is not as I saw it, especially Jiangnan, which was ravaged by disaster. It is not as prosperous and wealthy as described in the books. The suffering of the people, the corruption of the officials of the Great Zhou..."
Xie Shang spoke slowly, while Jiang Fenghua kept her hands busy, quietly listening.
A moment later, he transformed into a handsome man with a dignified and imposing presence. He wore a white brocade robe, loosely draped over his body. He was both charming and languid, a born king destined to rule the world.
Looking at his handsome appearance, Jiang Fenghua couldn't help but stroke his beautiful eyebrows and curled eyelashes. His lips were also beautiful. He seemed to be asleep, and his breathing became even.
She thought: He must have been exhausted from being away for two months to be sleeping so soundly.
At this moment, Lianye returned. She knocked on the door from the outside, and Jiang Fenghua opened the door and went out when she saw that Xie Shang was asleep.
As soon as Lianye saw Jiang Fenghua, she complained angrily, "I think that Ye Susu has no good intentions. Even Lin Feng is bewitched by her and takes good care of her. He even asked Miss Tan to take good care of her. It makes me so angry. I think he has no conscience. The princess is so good to him, and he doesn't even send a letter back to let us know so that we can be prepared."
Jiang Fenghua didn't care. If a man really wanted to cheat, she couldn't prevent it. "What's there to prepare? She's a perfectly good girl and has no intention of marrying someone else."
Lianye said, "I think she's just putting on an act. She's talking about repaying a debt of gratitude, but the prince is on the emperor's orders to treat the disaster victims. Rescuing her is just part of his duties. Besides, there are so many disaster victims in Jiangnan. Does everyone have to repay a debt of gratitude and follow the prince back to the capital? Is our Prince Heng's mansion a shelter? She can't even come up with a better excuse."
"Your Highness, aren't you afraid that the Prince will fall in love with someone else? Your Highness is pregnant now, and you can't..." The more anxious Lianye became, the more unrestrained she became, until she finally felt embarrassed and blushed.
First there was Consort Su, whom we finally managed to get rid of, and now there's Ye Susu. It's impossible to guard against her!
Jiang Fenghua tapped her forehead. "Silly girl, don't overthink it. It's pointless to think about it."
Winter is coming, and war is about to break out again in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Xie Shang doesn't have much free time to cultivate relationships with other women.
This time, Jiang Fenghua did not obstruct the course of history too much, because she was afraid that her unilateral decision-making would change something.
Xie Shang is a prince, and he will eventually achieve his success on the battlefield so that he can quickly ascend to the position of crown prince and gain the obedience of his subjects. She only needs to be a good Princess Consort and hold onto her position.
All she needed to do was capture his heart; she didn't ask for anything else. He and Su Tingwan did things that married couples did, and if she got angry, she wouldn't have chosen to marry him again.
Xie Shang slept until dark before waking up. He saw Jiang Fenghua sitting upright at the desk with a carefree smile on her lips. He touched his smooth chin, quite satisfied. "How long have I been sleeping? Why didn't you wake me up?"
“My husband is so tired, and I still wake you up. Is this what a wife should do?” Jiang Fenghua put down her pen, walked over to him, and sat down on the soft couch. “My husband is working so hard, Ruan Ruan will feel sorry for him.”
Jiang Fenghua had never said such sweet words to him before. Xie Shang's heart was pounding with excitement. He wanted to do something, but then he suppressed his desire when he thought of the two children in her belly. "Your older brother and Zhang Yumo are engaged. You can rest assured now!"
"Yes, my brother is getting on in years, it's time for him to settle down and start a family."
"Jiang Jinyan has been commended by the Emperor for his meritorious service in disaster relief this time, and he will probably be promoted..."
The couple chatted idly.
The following day, Jiang Jinyan was summoned to the Golden Palace by the Emperor. The Emperor asked him what reward he wanted. He did not ask for a promotion, but instead asked the Emperor to grant him and Zhang Yumo a marriage decree.
The emperor knew more or less about the affairs between the Jiang and Zhang families. The granddaughter of the Duke of Zhang was also of noble birth, and issuing an imperial decree to bestow a marriage was just a matter of the emperor lifting a finger.
With a stroke of his pen, the emperor was ready to grant the marriage decree to the Duke of Zhang's residence, and Zhang Yumo's marriage was instantly transformed.
Jiang Jinyan originally wanted to wait until after the imperial examination next spring to get married, but the Zhang family elders couldn't wait any longer. Since the emperor had bestowed the marriage upon them, it was perfectly legitimate for them to get married as soon as possible.
So the two elders went to the Jiang family to discuss with Jiang Huai and his wife, and decided to choose an auspicious day for them to get married.
Jiang Huai and his wife had no objections, they only asked Jiang Jinyan if he was willing, as it would be really unreasonable for him to refuse at this point.
He would still participate in the spring imperial examinations, and he was confident that he would pass with flying colors, so he nodded in agreement.
The wedding banquets of the Jiang and Zhang families were also grand, causing a sensation throughout the city.
Knowing that Zhang Yumo ultimately married Jiang Jinyan, Li Cheng was very resentful. Looking at the long wedding procession, he drank one cup of wine after another.
Just then, Ji Chen suddenly sat down at his table and bowed respectfully to him, saying, "Greetings, Lord Li."
Li Cheng glared coldly at Ji Chen, "Who are you?"
Ji Chen smiled. "My name is Ji Chen. I'm sure Young Master Li already knows me."
"I don't know him." Li Cheng didn't give him any face at all.
