The next day was Yan Ningshuang's recognition ceremony. According to the rules, Ren Yaoqi was supposed to attend, but the princess asked Nanny Xin to tell Ren Yaoqi early in the morning that she should rest in the room and not go to Chengde Palace. Ren Yaoqi did not disobey the princess's wishes, so she did not attend Yan Ningshuang's recognition ceremony.
Although Xiao Jingxi had behaved normally from yesterday until now, Ren Yaoqi could see that he had not yet recovered from the shock of becoming a father for the first time. He did not sleep early in the morning, and the first words he said to Ren Yaoqi when she woke up were: "Yaoyao, what do you think of the nickname Abao?" Ren Yaoqi's response was to turn over, close her eyes and continue to sleep.
Afterwards, after kicking Xiao Jingxi out, Ren Yaoqi asked Pingguo to bring her a few account books to pass the time. She was currently familiarizing herself with the princess's accounts. Since she had to stay indoors for the foreseeable future, she decided to use this time to sort out the Yanbei Palace's accounts for the past year.
Just as she was checking last year's accounts and expenses, Sang Zhen ran in happily and said that the wife and the eldest daughter had arrived. The wife and the eldest daughter that Sang Zhen was referring to were naturally Ren Yaoqi's mother, Mrs. Li, and Ren Yaohua.
Ren Yaoqi had originally planned to wait until after Yan Ningshuang's recognition ceremony before telling her family about her pregnancy. When she heard that they came by themselves, she thought that Xiao Jingxi had sent someone to inform them.
Li and Ren Yaohua soon arrived at Zhaoning Palace. Li's face was filled with joy. Seeing Ren Yaoqi, she quickly walked over and supported her while happily saying, "Qi'er, is it true? You are pregnant?"
Ren Yaoqi pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, mother, it has been diagnosed." Li was overjoyed to hear that.
Ren Yaohua examined Ren Yaoqi's belly and smiled, "Early this morning, Pan'er came to tell me she was going to be a sister again. I didn't understand what was going on, but later I found out she heard the maids who were out shopping were talking about your pregnancy. She was even clamoring to come see you."
Due to the feud between Prince Xian's Mansion and the Yan family, neither Li nor Ren Yaohua attended the wedding banquet yesterday. They only sent gifts as a courtesy, so they did not know what happened at the wedding banquet.
Mrs. Li also said, "Madam Zhou rushed over to tell me because she heard the discussions outside. I heard that everyone in Yunyang City now knows that you are pregnant. You are such a fool, kid. Why didn't you send someone back to tell me such a big thing? Instead, you let me hear it from other people."
Li's tone was somewhat reproachful, and Ren Yaoqi quickly admitted his mistake in a good manner.
The three of them sat down to chat. Li asked Ren Yaoqi a number of questions, such as: "Do you have a poor appetite? Why do you look thinner? Do you prefer sour or spicy food?" Ren Yaoqi patiently answered each one.
Li took Ren Yaoqi's hand and said, "It would be great if we could have a boy this time."
Whether to have a boy or a girl has almost become a concern for Li. When Ren Yaohua gave birth to a daughter as her first child, Li was very disappointed. Now that Ren Yaoqi is pregnant, Li naturally hopes that Ren Yaoqi can give birth to a boy as her first child.
Ren Yaohua, on the other hand, said nonchalantly, "Mom, why are you saying this now? It's not her decision whether to have a boy or a girl. I didn't see the Lei family divorce me even after I gave birth to Yi Jie'er as my first child."
Ren Yaohua's eldest daughter was named Lei Changyi. Her nickname was Yijie'er. Although Ren Yaohua had given birth to a daughter, Lei Ting respected and protected her, so no one in the Lei family dared to gossip about her. Ren Yaohua now lived a comfortable life, feeling much more at ease.
Li glared at her unhappily and asked, "Can the situation in the Yanbei Palace be the same?"
