Having followed Su Ruojin for so long, Yanluo had seen many fine things and immediately recognized that the gift from Consort Jiang was a superior white jade bracelet.
Even if a concubine in the palace did not hold a high rank, she might not necessarily have such a bracelet.
She was just a servant girl; how could she dare accept such a gift?
Yanluo hurriedly declined, "Your Highness, this gift is too precious, I cannot accept it."
"Yanluo, take this. You've done a great service this time," Xiao Yanchu said from the side.
Now that the prince had spoken, Yanluo was in an even more difficult position. She looked at Su Ruojin, who smiled and nodded, "Yanluo, take it."
Thus, Yanluo had no choice but to accept the bracelet, kneel down and kowtow to Consort Jiang, saying, "Thank you for the gift, Consort Jiang."
Aunt Sulan quickly helped Yanluo up.
Afterwards, Xiao Yanchu recounted some of the events that had occurred in Bei Li to the two elders.
Hearing this, Consort Jiang and Madam Zhao were filled with lingering fear, especially when they heard that Gao Hongyuan and Lin Wanqing had actually given "Xiao Jin" a Gu worm that could eat the fetus's brain. They were furious.
His anger subsided somewhat after he heard that Gao Hongyuan was dead.
"Chu'er, you must not let this Lin Wanqing go!" Consort Jiang said angrily.
She didn't care whether Lin Wanqing was the Queen of Bei Li or not; as long as Xiao Jin wanted to be harmed, she wouldn't allow her son to get away with it.
"Mother, rest assured, your son will not let anyone who dares to harm Ajin get away with it," Xiao Yanchu assured her.
If he hadn't handed Lin Wanqing over to A Jin to deal with, he wouldn't have allowed her to live until now.
Considering that Xiao Yanchu had just returned and was tired, and that Xiao Jin was pregnant, Consort Jiang and Old Madam Zhao left shortly afterward.
Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin returned to their room.
Xiao Yanchu helped Su Ruojin to bed and lay down, then gently lay down beside her and whispered, "Ajin, you've worked hard."
Su Ruojin reached out and touched Xiao Yanchu's face. "You've gotten darker and thinner."
Xiao Yanchu touched her hand, "Do you think I've become ugly?"
Su Ruojin nodded seriously, "Yes, I'm afraid that if the child is born and sees that his father looks so ugly, he will become depressed."
Xiao Yanchu smiled and said, "It's alright, as long as the child's mother is beautiful."
"Yanchu, do you want a boy or a girl?" Su Ruojin asked again.
Although she had asked Xiao Yanchu this question before, she suddenly wanted to ask it again as her due date approached.
Xiao Yanchu thought about it seriously, "I want a daughter who looks like you, so she can grow up happily without having to bear too much pressure."
"What if it's a son?" Su Ruojin asked.
“Son, when you’re a bit older, send him to Qingyue Mountain so your master can give him a good lesson.”
"You're really willing to do that."
"Boys need to be toughened up from a young age, otherwise how will they protect you and his future sister?"
"Oh, you want to have two more?" Su Ruojin said reproachfully.
Xiao Yanchu chuckled softly, pulled her into his arms, and said gently, "That's not up to Ajin to decide. Ajin can have as many children as she wants."
Ah Jin, once the Great Chu is settled, let's take the children out for a trip together.
Once the boat is built, we'll go see the sea with the children.
Ah Jin, where would you like to go for a walk first?
After Xiao Yanchu finished speaking, he found no response. Looking down, he saw that Su Ruojin had already fallen asleep.
He smiled and gently kissed her forehead. "Sleep."
After a long day of work, Xiao Yanchu gradually fell asleep, and the room was quiet.
He and Su Ruojin tacitly avoided mentioning what was about to happen.
Because they all know that.
Great Chu.
The world is about to change.
