"Feng Yao, the daughter of Prince Anyang, has come to pay her respects to the Empress. May the Empress live a thousand years—"
Feng Yao came to a place about ten feet away from the bed, raised her arms, and then knelt respectfully.
After Zhu Wuhuan had waited for her to pay her respects, he asked Suqiu to help her up.
"Sit down and talk."
She gestured to Suqiu to move a stool for Fengyao to sit on.
Feng Yao thanked him with a smile and sat gracefully on a stool covered with an embroidered cushion.
She looked up and smiled brightly at Zhu Wuhuan, "Your Majesty, you seem to be looking at Fengyao's clothes. Are you wondering why Fengyao is wearing black?"
Seeing her directness, Zhu Wuhuan smiled and nodded, "Yes, red looks so good on a little girl. Why are you wearing a dull color like a married woman like me?"
Feng Yao smiled very sweetly, "Empress, Feng Yao is getting married. Before the wedding, Feng Yao will not wear red anymore."
Zhu Wuhuan looked at the little girl in surprise.
In Daning, all the ladies were shy. Even if they were getting married, they would be too shy to mention it. But Feng Yao was so open and generous...
Look at the happiness between her brows, it's as if she wants everyone in the world to know how happy she is at this moment.
Thinking of this, and looking at the blush on Feng Yao's face, Zhu Wuhuan suddenly realized.
It’s not that I’m not shy, but the joy in my heart is too much and has long overshadowed the shyness, right?
How much must she love that man to be so happy?
Zhu Wuhuan couldn't ask the man directly if he was her second brother. If he wasn't, it would be embarrassing for the girl.
So she smiled and asked, "That person is..."
Feng Yao said happily, "It's the Queen's second brother."
Zhu Wuhuan raised an eyebrow.
Wow, my second brother, who didn’t want to get married before going to Anyang, changed his mind so quickly?
But looking at the dignified and generous princess in front of him, Zhu Wuhuan thought, it would be difficult for any man to refuse such a beautiful person who has secretly liked him for seven years, right?
While Zhu Wuhuan was speechless in surprise, Feng Yao opposite him pinched her fingers and looked at Zhu Wuhuan nervously.
She was afraid that the Queen didn't like her.
She really liked that man, and she hoped that all his family members would like her and accept her. She wanted to live happily with him for the rest of her life, without a single blush or argument...
"Have you really decided to be with my second brother?"
Zhu Wuhuan suppressed the surprise on his face and looked at Feng Yao gently, "You are the princess of the Daning royal family. Being a step-wife is really too unfair to you... What's more, if you follow my second brother, you will not only be a step-wife, but also a step-mother."
Fengyao was no longer nervous and relaxed.
She looked at Zhu Wuhuan with bright eyes and said with a smile, "My Lady, I know that Master Zhu has a child. I will love that child very much."
At this point, her face flushed with embarrassment. "My health is not good, so I can't get pregnant in the first few years. So I can focus on that child, take good care of him, and treat him as my own. When he grows up to be a vigorous and handsome young man, the birth of a younger brother or sister won't be a burden to him, and he won't mind having younger brothers or sisters anymore. Then I will have my own child..."
Zhu Wuhuan was particularly surprised when he heard this.
She looked at Fengyao's body.
Feng Yao is the treasure in the palm of Prince Anyang's hand. Since Prince Anyang is willing to let her get married now, it proves that giving birth to a child now will not cause any harm to her. There is no such thing as her problem of being unable to get pregnant due to illness.
If her physical condition did not allow her to have children, Prince Anyang would definitely support her for the rest of her life and would not let her risk her life by getting married and having children.
Therefore, what she said about not being able to get pregnant in the first few years of marriage is most likely false.
She wanted to reassure her second brother and protect the baby under his knees from any grievances, so she would rather not give birth herself.
But has she ever thought that by the time her second brother's son grows up, she will be in her thirties, which means she will be an elderly pregnant woman in Daning, and giving birth will be dangerous?
To put it bluntly, when she is in her thirties, she won't be able to get pregnant just because she wants to...
Zhu Wuhuan sighed softly, "This is not worth it..."
Feng Yao shook her head and smiled with great satisfaction, "It's worth it. Being able to marry him is worth it. Even if I have no children in my life, I will be happy..."
After a pause, she smiled and said, "Because if I don't marry him, I will still be childless for the rest of my life, and I won't even be able to be with the person I love. That would be truly pitiful."
Zhu Wuhuan felt a little sad when he saw the innocent and kind-hearted girl.
I hope this little girl can always maintain such an open-minded and free-spirited attitude.
Don't lose your current happiness and become a different person because of the trivial matters in the backyard.
As they were talking, the little princess Arjun woke up.
She was woken up by hunger and whimpered in a small voice as if she wanted to cry.
Zhu Wuhuan was grateful and picked her up to comfort her.
Feng Yao saw the swaddling baby in Zhu Wuhuan's arms from afar, her eyes full of anticipation, "Empress, can I see my little nephew and niece?"
Zhu Wuhuan nodded, "Okay, come here."
Feng Yao stood up and walked to the bedside, looking down at the little Aqiong in the cradle.
She exclaimed in surprise, "My little niece is so beautiful, and her big eyes are just like yours, Queen!"
Zhu Wuhuan smiled and said, "Your royal brother said the same thing."
She glanced at Feng Yao and nodded to signal her to go and look at the little prince. "Xiao'er isn't awake yet. You can hold Xiao'er. Aqiong is throwing a tantrum and you can't comfort him."
Feng Yao nodded happily, bent down and carefully picked up the little prince.
Zhu Wuhuan looked at the way she held the child.
I originally thought that as an unmarried girl, she would definitely not know how to hold a baby, but I didn't expect that she was so skilled in holding the baby, as if she had done it many times.
Zhu Wuhuan was stunned for a moment, then felt a little touched. "When you were in the palace, did someone secretly teach you how to raise a child?"
Feng Yao didn't expect to be exposed so quickly, and was suddenly at a loss.
Her face flushed with embarrassment. "I... um... my father said that Master Zhu agreed to the marriage. I was so happy that I asked the wet nurse to teach me a few times... After all, I'll have to hold the baby as soon as I get married, so I need to practice in advance. Otherwise, the baby will feel uncomfortable in my arms, cry, and dislike me..."
She lowered her head.
She was afraid that the child didn't like her.
That was the child of the person she loved, and she was afraid that if the child cried, the person she loved would think she was abusing the child.
"Yaoyao, why are you so stupid?"
Zhu Wuhuan felt a little distressed when he saw her being so cautious and treading on thin ice.
It's like this before she even gets married. After she gets married, she will be a stepmother taking care of another woman's children every day. I don't know how much grievance she will endure.
Feng Yao smiled brightly, "Father and Mother also say I'm stupid. Queen, you think I'm stupid because you don't know how much I like that person..."
When she was in Anyang, she would go to the temple to pray to the gods and worship Buddha every year.
And now, her true God is about to become her husband.
Everyone says she is stupid because they are not her and no one can understand her happy mood.
