Chapter 133: Visit from an Old Friend

Shang Ji was really shocked by the news.

Although he knew that he would become a father sooner or later, he had thought about how to make arrangements.

But when this moment really came, all thoughts and plans disappeared from my mind.

I was so confused.

Seeing him like this, Du Jingyi couldn't help but laugh secretly.

She had thought about this scene and her husband's reaction, but she never expected that he would be as stunned as a wooden stick.

Only after she gently poked his arm with her finger did Shang Ji turn around.

After taking a few deep breaths to calm himself, he showed his excitement beyond words.

"I'm going to be a father!"

At this moment, Du Jingyi saw for the first time the excitement and joy mixed together in his eyes.

He must like this child very much.

"Yes, the Queen mentioned this to me a few days ago, and now I have lived up to her expectations."

Shang Ji frowned a little, but soon understood.

"So the expression on Sister's face last time... turned out to be because of what the Queen said."

"Um."

He nervously reached out to touch Du Jingyi's still flat belly, but his tone was full of inquiry.

"Can I touch it?"

"Of course you can, but she's still young now. Madam Dou said that we can only feel the baby's movements after four or five months."

After that, she placed his hand on her stomach.

It was warm, no different from usual.

But Shang Ji's eyes turned into soft water at this moment, and he said to Du Jingyi.

"Just rest assured and take care of your baby. I will definitely take good care of you."

Du Jingyi quite agrees with this statement. After all, with his current status, the number of people who want to embarrass him can be counted on one's fingers.

"Don't worry about Madam Wei and the third room. I'll take care of it. It's just a quick fix. Since you're pregnant, just take good care of yourself."

"No, General, the net has been cast out, just waiting for the fish to jump in. I am just using my brain, it won't cause any trouble."

Seeing that Shang Ji had no intention of giving in, Du Jingyi rarely acted like a spoiled child.

"General..."

Shang Ji looked at her, but in the end he was unable to defeat her and had to compromise, but he still spoke with some caution in his eyes.

"Tomorrow I will dispatch another team of secret guards to protect you, so that you can feel more at ease even when I am not around."

"Okay, everything will be arranged by the general."

Ever since he found out that Du Jingyi was pregnant, Shang Ji became nervous unconsciously.

It’s not that he was worried about her safety, but he had never witnessed the process of a child being born, so he was a little nervous.

Originally, he could only stay for one day this time.

But everyone in Dongyuan fell ill. In this situation, he simply stayed at home and took care of everyone.

Fortunately, all his men were elite soldiers and there was no war, so it was okay and nothing serious happened.

The petition for leave was delivered to the palace, and the news soon spread.

A few days ago, when the Duke was celebrating his birthday, the Prince of Fu stepped on and broke the Duke's grandson's son. Now, everyone in Dongyuan is sick again.

Before long, all kinds of rumors began to appear among the people.

Some said that the Duke's Mansion had an unlucky year, while others said that Shang Ji's heavy killing caused unrest in the family.

Everyone has their own opinion.

Shang Jicai, who was resting at home, ignored it and accompanied Du Jingyi carefully.

She wants to eat sour food today, so there will definitely be vinegar-flavored dishes on the table.

If she wants to eat something sweet tomorrow, she will even add some honey to the water she drinks.

In short, you can have whatever you want and live a comfortable and carefree life.

One day, Du Jingyi stood in front of a standing bronze mirror and looked at himself.

Although she is only less than three months old, her body seems to look a little different from before. She touched her cheek with a slightly resentful look and said.

"I thought I would always be a slim beauty, but I've gained weight so quickly. I guess I'll be twice as fat as me in the end."

Shang Ji heard this from behind, and looked him up and down carefully, then gave an affirmative answer.

"Don't worry, ma'am. I've checked and she's not fat."

Du Jingyi didn't believe a word of what her husband said.

So he waved at Cherry and pointed to the waist.

"I remember when I wore this skirt last year, it was still two fingers wide, but now it's gone."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

At this moment, she was like a slightly irritable pregnant woman, worried about her slightly changed figure.

Seeing this, Cherry smiled and replied.

"Don't worry, Madam. Even if you are fat, you can lose weight again. Just look at our Madam. She gave birth to two children, and she is still slim, isn't she?"

Du Jingyi felt much better when he suddenly heard the maid mention her mother. This was much more sincere than Shang Ji's previous answer, and it could also directly and effectively eliminate Du Jingyi's worries.

Seeing that she was smiling again, Shang Ji raised his eyebrows behind her.

It seems that he still needs to work harder to practice the skill of coaxing his wife.

As the couple was talking, they heard Luo Yuan walk in and said.

"General, Madam, Madam Xing is here."

"Aunt? Come in."

"yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Xing walked in on her own and looked at Du Jingyi with some anxiety in her eyes.

"Didn't you say you were sick? Why are you still standing? I've been in the palace talking to the Queen these past few days, and I just found out today that everyone in the East Garden was sick, so I hurried over to see you. How are you? Are you all right?"

Mrs. Xing spoke quickly and decisively.

There was a lot of chattering, and this series of questions made Shang Ji and his wife a little overwhelmed.

Cherry was considerate enough. She quickly brought a cup of tea and said with a smile.

"Mrs. Xing, please have some hot tea first. It will also be good for warming your hands."

She had come all the way here by carriage, and walked quickly after getting off the carriage, so she didn't feel cold.

But he was afraid that the cold would chill Du Jingyi, so he took the teacup and walked over to Yinsi Charcoal to warm himself up.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi replied with a smile.

"I'm sorry to have worried my aunt. I'm fine. But there are rumors flying around outside."

"Whether it's a rumor or not, I don't really know, but what's going on?"

Mrs. Xing was not blind, so she could naturally see that Du Jingyi looked fine.

If people like this are sick, then probably eighty to ninety percent of the people in the world are sick.

There was nothing serious at this critical moment, so why pretend to be sick? That's why she asked this.

As a result, Shang Ji carefully put his arm around Du Jingyi and sat down at the eight-immortals table, as if he was protecting a treasure.

Mrs. Xing understood it immediately.

He was stunned at first, and then asked in surprise.

"Are you pregnant?"
