Three months later.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, good news! Good news!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty~"
Bilian's cheers came from outside. Guan Zhiyue was now a pregnant woman with a round belly. After being cooped up in bed for so long, she could finally get out of bed and walk around and see the world.
"Why are you still so loud and boisterous, you little rascal?"
"Your Majesty, great news!"
"What good news?"
Guan Zhiyue was lying on her side on the chaise lounge, with the wind whistling outside.
"I just heard the people in the kitchen say that the Emperor and his entourage have won a battle and are returning."
"What?" Guan Zhiyue exclaimed, jumping up from the chaise lounge, her face full of shock.
"Oh dear, Your Majesty, please be careful. You are now carrying twins." Bilian quickly stepped forward to help her mistress up and moved her back to the chaise lounge.
"Who told you this? Is the information reliable?"
"Of course it's reliable! All the soldiers in the camp are talking about it today!" Bilian said excitedly.
Guan Zhiyue placed her hand on her belly and gently stroked it up and down, as if to say, "Baby, your dad is back."
“Help…call…” Little Chang Le sat on the fluffy blanket and was saying something.
"Oh dear, my little Chang Le, do you know that Father is coming back?"
"Come quickly to your mother's side. Do you also know that Father is coming back?" Guan Zhiyue's lips curled into a wide smile when she heard the word "father".
But she wasn't the only one waiting for him.
Everyone is waiting for him, everyone in the entire Nan Ding Kingdom is waiting for him!
"Tuantuan, quickly bring Changle over here."
Xiao Tuantuan picked the little one up from the ground, walked to Guan Zhiyue's side, and then placed Xiao Changle on the couch;
She plopped down on the footstool and looked at her owner, saying, "Sister, is brother-in-law coming back?"
"yes!"
"Oh, that's great, then we can absorb pure dragon energy again," Xiao Tuantuan said dismissively.
Guan Zhiyue's heart skipped a beat when she heard Xiao Tuantuan's words, "Xiao Tuantuan likes Li Qiji?"
But then he laughed again. This was good. He could take this opportunity to see if the Emperor was truly averse to women and wanted to be with him for life.
"Miss Tuantuan, what are you saying? The Emperor is the supreme ruler, you mustn't act so powerless!"
But you have to be careful with your head.” Bilian heard Xiao Tuantuan’s words and saw that her mistress was now pregnant.
The ladies of wealthy families, when they became pregnant, would send maids to their husbands for ceremonial services. But the Emperor...
Although the Emperor's harem has been completely dismissed by the Prince of Xiaoyao, the Empress is now pregnant and it is not advisable for them to engage in sexual relations. So, what about the Emperor...?
Bilian felt extremely sorry for her mistress when she thought about this, and now she heard about the adopted sister her mistress had recognized;
To absorb the emperor's dragon aura, how could a vigorous young man resist the advances of such a clever and adorable adult woman?
Bilian couldn't help but worry, but Guan Zhiyue was thinking of testing her.
"Alright, you can take Xiao Chang Le down to play now. Just make sure she doesn't get cold; it's freezing cold here." Guan Zhiyue was a little tired and shooed them out.
As soon as Xiao Tuantuan heard that she could go out to play, she became excited. At this time, she could go to the kitchen and eat delicious food.
"Yay, then sister, I'm going to play!" Little Tuantuan stood up excitedly, looking at Guan Zhiyue who was still lying down.
"Okay, go ahead! Be careful!" Guan Zhiyue said in a calm tone.
Bilian bent down and picked up Xiao Chang Le. "Your Majesty, this servant will take her leave now."
"Okay, go ahead, thank you for your hard work."
"This servant takes her leave!" Bilian led Chang Le out of Guan Zhiyue's room, then wandered around a few places before heading to find Ji Shang.
"Jishang, what are you doing?"
"Greetings, Princess Chang Le." Ji Shang and the others quickly stood up and bowed to Princess Chang Le in Bi Lian's arms.
Chang Le was placed on the ground and immediately said, "Shang, hug me!"
Ji Shang bent down and picked up Chang Le, pinching her rosy cheeks, then said, "Why did you come here? Doesn't the Empress need someone to serve her?"
Although she was holding Chang Le, she was speaking to Bi Lian, who reached out and brushed her stray hairs.
She then said, "Your Majesty's body is currently heavy, so she needs more time to rest. Therefore, she asked me to bring the princess out."
“That’s true. Then please sit down. We’re playing this leaf card game,” Ji Shang explained.
Bilian stood on tiptoe and peeked out. She didn't understand, but that didn't stop her from agreeing!
"Aren't you bored?" Ji Shang, holding Chang Le, looked at Bi Lian, then at the group of people playing cards, and quietly approached Bi Lian to ask.
Bilian tilted her head and nodded slightly. "Come on, I'll take you to play!"
Ji Shang's voice was very soft, ringing in Bi Lian's ear, sending shivers down her spine like an electric shock.
"Okay!"
"You guys, don't play for too long, or you'll miss the mission, understand?" Ji Shang's cold voice rang out. The group of people playing cards replied, "Yes, boss, you can go ahead and get busy!"
So Ji Shang carried Chang Le and walked out of the military camp with Bi Lian by his side. Although it hadn't started snowing yet, it was really cold outside, and the wind was howling.
"Sir, with such strong winds, where are we going?"
"Let's go shopping. I've noticed you're always in the military camp and don't come out much."
"Oh, isn't that inappropriate? What about Her Majesty the Empress?"
"It's alright, Her Majesty is probably fine, and besides, there are so many people in the military camp!" Ji Shang said.
Bilian was initially worried, but now she gradually calmed down and followed Jishang's side, the two walking step by step.
"How old are you this year?" Ji Shang asked.
Bilian was somewhat shocked. What the hell? People are asking girls their age so directly now?
"I'm twenty-one now."
"Oh, that's alright!" Ji Shang said.
Bilian turned her head to look at Jishang. He had a strong and upright profile and fair skin, much fairer than Jiwu, who was a dark-skinned man. Jishang was much fairer.
Although she had never met Ji Shang before, she always felt that Ji Shang seemed to know her very well, and gave her a very close feeling.
“Lord Shang, are you tired of carrying me? How about I carry you?” Bi Lian walked beside Ji Shang, glancing up at him every now and then.
She lowered her head quietly, then looked up again, perfectly capturing the expression of a young girl.
"It's okay. Am I, a grown man, not even able to carry a little kid?"
"Princess, don't you think so?"
"Yes, you're quite something," Chang Le said with a grin.
Bilian looked at Chang Le, who was drooling, and laughed along. But her sudden laugh stunned Ji Shang. It turned out that this girl was really beautiful when she smiled.
"Let me take you shopping. Although I haven't been here long, I've been to Guantao County a few times before."
"Besides, this place is by the sea, and there are lots of beautiful seashell and pearl jewelry here!" Ji Shang quickly shifted his gaze and pointed to the street stalls.
Bilian nodded, adopting a girlish demeanor that was quite pleasing to the eye!
