"Your Highness is in her prime."
Bai Shuyi shook his head. "I used to be so lively, but now because of my status, I don't dare to be like this anymore."
Upon hearing this, Chen Li smiled but said nothing, "Do your job and do your job."
"Princess Jingnan, how many months are you now?"
Chen Li raised her hand and touched her slightly bulging belly, "It's been more than three months."
Hearing this, Bai Shuyi raised his hand and touched his lower abdomen, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"In that case, we two are quite destined to be together."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, and congratulations to the Emperor and His Majesty on the birth of their precious son."
The imperial concubine was indeed pregnant. He had just sensed a faint vitality in her lower abdomen, and now it was confirmed.
The imperial concubine is the first to become pregnant since the emperor ascended the throne, so this pregnancy of hers will probably attract a lot of attention.
Not only people inside the palace, but also many people outside the palace were watching.
The smile on Bai Shuyi's face softened, "Thank you for your kind words, Princess."
Chen Li decided that after returning to the Jinnan Palace today, she would keep the door closed and refuse visitors until Pei Yu came back.
The emperor's throne has been vacant for many years and there are not many concubines in the harem. Now that the imperial concubine is pregnant, it is obvious that there will be a bloody storm.
However, with the emperor's iron-blooded hand, he will definitely be able to protect the imperial concubine and the fetus in her belly. As for those who are tired of living, the emperor will send them on their way.
After returning to the palace, Chen Li instructed the housekeeper to close the door to visitors. The door to the palace remained closed for three months until Pei Yu came back.
Pei Yu originally planned to suppress the bandits for two months, but plans cannot keep up with changes. The situation in Qingzhou was complicated, so it took some extra effort.
When he rushed back, the fetus in Chen Li's belly was more than six months old.
"Princess, the prince is back!"
Before Pei Yu came back, he wrote a letter and ordered someone to send it to the capital as quickly as possible. This was like calculating the days, thinking that he should be back in the next two days.
Then I heard the servant outside coming to report.
"Where is the prince?"
The servant's face was filled with joy. "Princess, the prince originally wanted to return home, but was summoned by the emperor, so he sent me here to inform you first."
"Okay, I understand. Go down and claim your reward."
Chen Li had a happy smile on her face, "Mom, let's call Fourth Brother over to have dinner together tonight."
Lin Cuicui was happy to hear that her son-in-law had returned, but she still rejected her daughter's proposal.
"No, since Zi'an is back, I will go back to the General's Mansion and come back to see you in a few days."
The young couple have been separated for such a long time since their marriage. As a mother-in-law, she cannot be so inconsiderate.
She took her daughter's hand and patted it, "Zi'an is back, and mother is relieved."
Lin Cuicui was also an impetuous person. Without waiting for her son-in-law to come back, she immediately packed some underwear and returned to the general's mansion.
It was an hour later that Pei Yu came out of the palace. Without any further delay, he went straight back to Prince Jingnan's Mansion.
When she stepped into the yard and saw the figure jogging towards her, Pei Yu's pupils shrank sharply.
"Ali!"
The next moment he appeared in front of Chen Li and picked her up by the waist.
Chen Li hugged his neck and comforted him, "Ayu, I'm fine, don't worry."
A trace of helplessness flashed across Pei Yu's face, and he carried the person into the room. The maidservants serving in the yard had already retreated at his behest.
"Ali, don't be so reckless next time."
"Yeah, I see."
A short separation is better than a new marriage. The two of them stayed together for a long time, but because of Chen Li's belly, Pei Yu didn't dare to make too much noise. He just held her in his arms and hugged her quietly.
Chen Li listened in his arms as he told her about what he had seen and heard along the way. She knew a little about it from the letter, but when she heard it from his mouth, it sounded a little different.
…
Squeak!
Shen Yuanzhou has been back for a long time. His younger sister is about to give birth, and he is worried, so he has been back for more than a month.
As the birth was approaching, the Shen family spent most of their time in the Prince of Jingnan's Mansion, and Pei Yu basically stayed in the mansion except when he attended court.
Being stared at by a group of people every day, Chen Li felt a lot of pressure.
"Third brother, aren't you bored looking at me like this?"
Shen Yuanzhou sat in the chair and shook his head when he heard it. "It's not boring. Hey, don't move so much. Be careful not to get a stitch in the side."
Chen Li withdrew her hand awkwardly and couldn't even stretch.
"Third brother, I'm not a porcelain doll, you..."
Shen Yuanzhou: "No, you are no better than a porcelain doll now. Stay here honestly. I will go out for a walk with you later."
Chen Li felt her forehead throbbing. She looked at the man sitting beside her gloating over his misfortune and said unhappily, "Ayu, take the third brother away."
Pei Yu stood up and pulled the man to sit down. "Ali, that's your third brother, my third uncle. If you find it annoying, call your parents over."
Chen Li originally wanted to refute his words, but as soon as she sat down, she felt a warm liquid flowing down.
"What's wrong?"
Paying close attention to her expression, Pei Yu immediately noticed it.
"What's wrong, Ali?"
Sensing the dull pain in her lower abdomen, Shen Li took a deep breath.
"Ayu, I'm about to give birth."
The next moment, Pei Yu carefully picked her up and said, "Come here, inform the midwife and the doctor that the princess is about to give birth."
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuanzhou immediately stood up and followed Pei Yu out, stopping at the door of the delivery room that had been prepared in advance.
Soon, the midwife and the doctor rushed over, accompanied by the Shen family and Mo Qing.
"Ali, how do you feel?"
Pei Yu wiped the sweat off Chen Li's forehead, and he, who was always calm and composed, also became nervous.
You know, giving birth for a woman is like having one foot stepping into the gates of hell, he couldn't be that calm.
"Ayu, I'm fine, go wait outside."
Pei Yu took her hand and placed it on his lips and kissed it, "I'll be here with you while you give birth."
Chen Li wanted to say something, but after seeing his determined look, she swallowed the words.
Forget it, let him be.
"Your Highness, the palace entrance is only three fingers open. Princess, please eat something to fill your stomach first."
Pei Yu looked at her, "What do you want to eat, A-Li?"
"Chicken noodles."
Pei Yu didn't need to, and after instructing the maid waiting on the side, she went downstairs to prepare.
"Wow wow wow~"
An hour later, the anxiously waiting Shen family members outside finally heard the baby crying and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay once it's born."
"It's the young prince. Congratulations, Prince and Princess."
Pei Yu didn't look at the baby that the midwife handed to him. He wiped the cold sweat off Chen Li's face with a handkerchief. Hearing this, he said without raising his head:
"reward."
"Thank you, Your Majesty and Princess!"
The midwife also noticed it, and waited by the side holding the young master. After the maid had tidied up Princess Jingnan quickly, she came forward with the young master in her arms.
Pei Yu then took it, took a look at it, and handed it to Chen Li, "A Li, this is our child."
