Although Yinzhen had a strong palate, he could not accept Changning's "self-harming" eating habits.
The bright red chili oil and pungent vinegar smell alone made me sweat and my buttocks ache.
Therefore, he only ate a regular bowl of hot and sour noodles, but the flavor was very rich, and the peanuts added a lot of color. It tasted mellow and fragrant, and he felt extremely comfortable after finishing a bowl.
Now that autumn has arrived and the weather is getting cooler, it's really comforting to have a hot, sour, and spicy bowl of noodles.
"This powder is good. Let them study it. It would be great if we could eat it on the road." As soon as Yinzhen spoke, Su Peisheng had to do it immediately.
After finishing his breakfast, Yinzhen did not rush to leave. Instead, he instructed Wang Quan to bring over the Book of Poetry and a bunch of travelogues.
"I know you love reading storybooks, and I didn't restrict you before, but now that you're pregnant, don't corrupt my sons and princesses."
At this point, as expected, Yinzhen saw Changning's small, pouty mouth, large enough to hang an oil bottle, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Then, Yinzhen gestured for Wang Quan to put the book on the table and gently coaxed him, "This Book of Poetry is a task assigned to you. Read it every day as a way to enlighten the child. Put away the storybooks on weekdays. If you want to read something interesting, you can read travelogues. Circle any places you like, and I will take you there in the future."
Changning was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Sisi would understand the principles of prenatal education. She was also grateful for his loving fatherly heart, so she nodded obediently, "Don't worry, Master. I will read it every day. Master, you must be careful when you go out. The job is important, but your safety is always the most important."
Yinzhen's eyes softened, and his heart felt warmed. Whether it was his father, mother, or wife, they all told him to do his job well and not to disappoint their expectations. He himself was also full of ambition, but this little woman always cared about him and worried about him.
Therefore, Yinzhen sighed, pulled the woman into his arms, and said softly, "I know that Yaoxian is sincere towards me. Don't worry, I will not mistreat you."
Changning rubbed against Yinzhen's clothes with great affection, realizing that she was still very reluctant to part with him.
Oh no, could this be falling in love?
Changning suddenly felt her face burning. It was so embarrassing, after all, she had warned herself not to fall in love with Yinzhen. He was the Yongzheng Emperor, with three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines.
But……
Before she could even come out, Su Peisheng returned and reported, "Your Highness, the Thirteenth Prince and his wife have arrived."
The two were then forced to leave the intimate atmosphere. Yinzhen nodded, "It was time to come. This time, the Emperor ordered me and the Thirteenth Prince to go on an errand together. I'm going to come and see you. Be good, and the Thirteenth Prince's wife will come to see you later."
"Go ahead, sir."
When his girlfriends arrived, Changning suddenly became excited and chuckled, "Master, I'm busy with important matters. I won't cause any trouble."
Looking at her mischievous face, Yinzhen couldn't help but lightly kiss her forehead and coax her softly, "I'll come back to be with you as soon as I'm done with my work, don't rush."
Who's in a hurry? She's just looking forward to seeing her sisters. How annoying.
But Changning's face was flushed, and she held tightly to Yinzhen's clothes with her little hands.
Seeing their reluctant farewell made Su Peisheng's teeth ache.
Before Yinzhen walked out the gate, he turned back for a moment, and sure enough, she was still watching from the doorway. He was deeply moved.
“The Prince has already left, Your Highness. It’s windy now, let’s go back.” Granny Zhang came up to help Changning, who nodded as she looked at the departing figure that could no longer be seen outside.
Before she could process her feelings for the Fourth Prince, Lady Zhaojia came to her door.
"Sister Fucha, I've heard that you're pregnant?" Yun Chun was overjoyed as soon as she entered the room, and she held Chang Ning's hand and looked her up and down for a long time.
Changning laughed and said, "What, you don't recognize me now that you're pregnant?"
Yun Chun affectionately took Chang Ning's hand and helped her sit down. "How could that be? I just think Sister Fucha is even more beautiful."
Changning smiled, her tone a little regretful, "I was originally planning to ask you to go see Wanhe together, but I didn't expect that I'm pregnant now, so I won't be able to see her for a while."
"That's easy," Yun Chun patted her chest. "Leave it to me. I'll go to the Fourteenth Prince's residence tomorrow to see her and tell her the good news."
"By the way, Sister Fucha, I heard it's your birthday tomorrow. This is my birthday gift for you. Please don't think it's too rough!"
After saying this, Zhao Jiayun gestured to the maid beside her to hand over a gift, which was an extremely beautiful jade bonsai.
Changning examined it closely, using the tender crabapple blossoms on the golden tree as a backdrop against the green leaves, and a large red lacquer basin decorated with auspicious phoenix and floral patterns as a base. The petals, made of elegant and translucent Hetian white jade, had the luster of gemstones, with each blossom adorning the branches, which stretched out gracefully, the delicate pinkish-white blending perfectly with the rosy stamens.
"Sister Yun Chun has excellent taste. I really like it." Chang Ning wasn't lying. Zhao Jia Yun Chun is the daughter of Minister Marhan, and she is also a legitimate daughter who has been raised in a wealthy and noble family. Her aesthetic sense is very sophisticated and she has a good background. This thing is indeed very valuable.
Yun Chun breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Chang Ning liked it. She knew that her sister Fucha came from a prestigious family and was a family with a rich and powerful background that was incomparable to ordinary people. Naturally, her standards were also high, and she had carefully selected her.
“I also have a white jade Guanyin statue here, which I also want to give to my sister. May this Guanyin protect her during her childbirth.”
After saying that, she took out an extremely delicate and warm white jade Buddha statue. Obviously, this birthday gift was of greater value and had a better meaning. Changning liked it even more. "Sister Yunchun, it's kind of you to remember me like this."
Yun Chun smiled like a young girl, "What's wrong with that? Since marrying the Thirteenth Prince, I've rarely met someone I get along with as well as Sister Fucha. But, Sister, I'm feeling quite uneasy about the Thirteenth Prince and Fourth Brother going south together this time..."
Changning quickly comforted him, "Don't be afraid. You have to believe in the Thirteenth Prince. He is of noble birth and will naturally have great fortune and turn bad luck into good." After saying that, she deliberately changed the subject and joked, "You just need to keep an eye on the Thirteenth Prince to make sure he doesn't bring back another sister."
"Sister Fucha!" Yun Chun said reproachfully, but her mind had indeed shifted, seeing Sister Fucha's confident demeanor. She figured the trip should be fine.
The thirteen-year-old couple stayed until evening before finally saying goodbye and leaving.
When Yinzhen arrived, he saw Changning slumped on the bed, looking somewhat tired. He quickly asked with concern, "What's wrong, Yaoxian? Did the Thirteenth Prince's wife disturb you?"
"No, it's just that my back hurts a little from sitting for so long. Granny Zhang even brought me a cushion, so it's alright."
"You're pregnant, nothing's wrong. Let the royal physician take a look, so I can feel at ease."
