The first person to react was the princess sitting next to Ren Yaoqi.
When Ren Yaoqi covered her lips and retched, the princess put down the wine glass in her hand and supported her. She was about to ask her if she was sick but suddenly thought of something. Her body stiffened, and then she stared at Ren Yaoqi's abdomen with an expression of disbelief on her face.
"Qi'er, are you..." The princess looked at Ren Yaoqi expectantly, but halfway through her words she realized that the entire hall had become quiet. The old princess and Su, who were sitting at the same table, were also staring at Ren Yaoqi with complicated expressions.
Ren Yaoqi vomited a few times but didn't spit it out. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he couldn't help but smile apologetically.
The princess held Ren Yaoqi's hand and said to him calmly, "Since you feel uncomfortable, go back and rest."
Ren Yaoqi noticed that the princess's hand was shaking a little, so he shook hers in return.
Ren Yaoqi was not stupid. She had been somewhat suspicious about her recent condition, but had not had time to confirm it. Now that she saw the princess so nervous and happy, Ren Yaoqi could not help but feel a little anticipatory.
The old princess put down her chopsticks with a snapping sound, interrupting the eerie silence in the hall. "Since you're pregnant, why don't you just stay inside? Why are you messing around here? Who would attend someone else's wedding banquet while pregnant?"
When the princess heard this, her eyes turned cold.
Ren Yaoqi quickly said: "It's not confirmed yet..."
The princess interrupted Ren Yaoqi in a gentle voice: "You are young and inexperienced, so that's why you are like this. It doesn't matter. Everyone has a first time, and the first time is strange, the second time is familiar."
As soon as the princess finished speaking, the middle-aged woman who had just come to serve her wine laughed and said, "Your Highness is right. When I was pregnant with our first child, I thought I had gained weight by eating too much. But when I had our second child, I had some experience."
The others all laughed and joked, saying that it was always like this the first time.
The old princess listened to the perfunctory remarks of the people around her, and her face turned a little grim. Could it be that she no longer had the qualifications to lecture a younger generation?
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but smile wryly at the crowd's reactions. They were all talking at once, as if they were certain she was pregnant. She herself wasn't sure yet.
Ren Yaoqi remembered that she had indeed missed her period last month, but her blood was insufficient, and her periods were occasionally irregular, so this was not enough to be a conclusion. What if it was just a physical discomfort and not pregnancy? How could she face people in the future?
The princess seemed to have anticipated her thoughts. She smiled and patted her hand. "Go back first. I'll get someone to take your pulse. Even if I'm wrong, it's my fault. They're just fooling around. It has nothing to do with you."
Everyone present couldn't help but laugh.
At the princess's insistence, Ren Yaoqi had no choice but to stand up and leave.
The princess whispered to her, "I'll be there soon. Don't be afraid, and don't feel burdened."
Ren Yaoqi felt a little warm in his heart. He nodded and left.
She had just walked out of the banquet hall when she saw a familiar figure walking towards her from a distance. She couldn't help but pause. When the person came closer, she couldn't help but look at the person and smiled, "Why are you here?"
Xiao Jingxi came from somewhere, and his eyes were shining with joy as he looked at her.
