With a way out, Fourth Master's dark expression immediately improved.
Jiaming sensed something more when Hongxuan suddenly glanced at her.
However, eating was the priority, and as Jiaming ate, she forgot to investigate the meaning behind Hongxuan's gaze.
After the meal, Fourth Master left, leaving only Hongxuan to keep Jiaming company.
Back in the outer room where they were resting, Jiaming found Hongxuan looking at her like that again.
She didn't like that look, so she reached out and gently pressed his head down. Seeing his disapproving expression, she let go and asked, "Hongxuan, what kind of look was that?"
However, as soon as she asked the question and received Hongxuan's answer, she regretted it. If she had known this would happen, she would have been better off not asking.
Hongxuan, who inherited his father's pettiness, was very honest. It wasn't intentional, but rather deliberate, in order to anger his mother and avenge the "head-pressing" incident.
"Mom, that reason you just gave was so stupid. It's almost May now, and with this weather, the food won't get cold so easily. It actually tastes better when it's warm. Also, the saying 'pregnancy makes you stupid for three years' really doesn't apply to you!"
Jiaming: "..." My eye twitched a little, and my hands were itching. I really wanted to get close to the little guy. What should I do?
Xiao Hongxuan blinked at Jiaming, giving her an innocent look as if she didn't know what she had just said.
"Ahem, Master, Young Master, it's time for the reading session that Master has set." Hongtao's voice broke the "standoff" between Jiaming and her son Hongxuan.
However, reading a book? Jiaming's expression immediately turned into a bitter face; she was also feeling miserable inside.
She's just a pregnant woman, she should be eating and drinking well and being waited on hand and foot, so why does the master still have demands on her?! Sigh, she doesn't want to read at all.
Hongxuan looked happy. He had learned more and more characters recently and could understand some of the contents of books on his own. Hmm, actually, reading is quite interesting and you can learn more interesting things.
It's miserable to be unhappy while others are happy.
In order to stop herself from suffering, Jiaming decided not to let others have it easy either.
The "others" here refers to Fourth Master and his son Hongxuan.
She had an idea: continue making vegetarian meat dishes, but not as much as she had a few days ago. She only made one dish that she wanted to eat, and then had other meat dishes made.
But during the meal, the Fourth Master and his son Hongxuan only picked at the dishes she had prepared, and only took a few bites of the dishes prepared in the kitchen.
In fact, if they weren't worried about not having enough to eat, Fourth Master and Hongxuan might not have even taken a few bites.
Pregnant women are more tender-hearted, and Jiaming is no exception. Afraid that they wouldn't have enough to eat, she continued to cook everything for the second meal, whether it was vegetarian meat, meat dishes, or just vegetables and soup.
However, while she was considerate of them, the Fourth Master was not considerate of her.
Despite being pregnant herself, she was forced to act as a cook and a scholar.
Last night, Fourth Master and I discussed what books I had recently read and what my thoughts were... Waaah, she wanted to sleep and didn't want to discuss it anymore.
Moreover, that wasn't a discussion at all; it was the boss nitpicking.
Jiaming deeply felt that Fourth Master liked role-playing, such as being a teacher, and that she was his student.
She always nags to herself at night, extremely long-winded, and to make matters worse, she nitpicks, and quite a lot of it, which is unbearable.
Fortunately, I don't want to role-play as a teacher every night.
"She likes to eat vegetarian meat so much. Although it's all meat, it's definitely vegetarian. In that case, she must be a princess." Tonight, the Fourth Prince chatted idly, touching Jiaming's belly, which wasn't showing yet.
Jiaming: "..." Liking vegetarian food = being a princess!
I don't know where you got this conclusion from; it's simply unbelievable.
For example, you, sir, like to eat vegetarian food.
However, it's better for her not to say anything. Let the master think it's a princess. It's better than thinking it's a prince and then being disliked for giving birth to a princess.
Several days later, Fourth Master had the doctor come for a routine check-up.
Su Peisheng led the doctor outside, asked the doctor to wait, and then went in to report: "Sir, the doctor has arrived."
Fourth Master's voice was cool and indifferent: "Let him in!"
"Greetings to the Fourth Prince!" the doctor said as he entered.
"Get up!" Then, just like before, the Fourth Master asked the doctor to take Jiaming's pulse.
After taking the pulse, the doctor approached the Fourth Prince, about to reply, when he heard the Fourth Prince ask, "How is Your Highness's little princess?"
Little princess? Hmm, she does look small, with a baby face.
Moreover, the doctor couldn't help but purse his lips even more tightly, afraid that the twitching at the corner of his mouth would be noticed.
So no matter what thoughts were swirling in his mind, his expression remained unchanged as he respectfully said to the Fourth Prince, "The young princess's pulse is very good, her condition is very good, just keep it up."
The Fourth Prince was overjoyed; it was indeed a little princess. Her pulse was good; all was well.
Thinking that Jiaming was carrying a little princess, the somewhat woman-obsessed Fourth Prince, remembering his own timid eldest princess, felt an even greater anticipation for the little princess. He hoped she would be as bold as Hongxuan and not afraid of him. Thinking this, the Fourth Prince's expression softened, and a slight smile appeared in his eyes.
Jiaming glanced at the Fourth Master, speechless. Had she made a mistake, or was the Master wrong? She felt that the conversation between the Master and the doctor was completely nonsensical.
Then, he looked at Su Peisheng, whose lips seemed to be twitching.
Su Peisheng felt someone watching him, looked up and met Jiaming's gaze. Then, realizing that he was right and that he was wrong, Jiaming's lips twitched.
Just then, he heard Fourth Master's command, "Su Peisheng, go and take the doctor."
"Yes, sir!" After seeing the doctor off, Su Peisheng went to the study to serve the Fourth Master, who had returned there.
Looking at the beaming old man and listening to his question, Su Peisheng's eyes twitched.
"Su Peisheng, what do you think the little princess likes?"
"Su Peisheng, you said the little princess likes..."
Su Peisheng: Grandpa! Why haven't you realized yet that your little princess is saying something different from what the doctor said?
Knowing that Fourth Master hadn't realized he'd misunderstood, Jiaming thought maliciously: "You like the little princess, you're a womanizer, aren't you! Humph, who told me to suffer so much with my second pregnancy? I'll make you feel disappointed once in a while."
Su Peisheng hesitated for a moment, thinking that maybe she really was a princess, so it was better not to say it. Besides, what if he said it and the master got angry?
After all, Su Peisheng glanced at the Fourth Prince's face, which had softened because of the "little princess," and figured out that "the more happy the prince is now, the more angry and embarrassed he will be when his true feelings are exposed." He then decided to pretend that he was unaware of the prince's misunderstanding.
What if the master comes to his senses later?
Su Peisheng said he refused to think about it, preferring to live in the present and let things take their course. He added that they would deal with the matter when the time came.
