Sweetheart

Because she didn’t want to attract attention, Chai Jing entered the Grand Tutor’s residence through the back door. Grand Tutor Qin was not at home today, and the Qin family was listening to opera in the theater. When they heard that the princess had arrived, Qin Huaying came out with her maid to greet her.

Qin Huaying was attentive, and when she saw Luo Jin’s dress, she was slightly surprised, “The princess’s maid is dressed so beautifully today.”

Chai Jing sighed, “I can’t help it, I don’t have any ugly clothes for her to wear, so I can only wear this one to make do.”

Qin Huaying smiled, “That’s right, your clothes are naturally beautiful. Speaking of which, why did the princess suddenly visit today? I wasn’t prepared…”

“No need to prepare, I just felt like listening to opera on a whim, so I came to listen to the opera and then left.”

Chai Jing could no longer hear Luo Jin’s voice at this moment, and it seemed that the time had come again.

"Come on, the play has already started, I'll take the princess there!" Qin Huaying said with a smile, "I've asked someone to arrange a seat for the princess, and fruits and snacks are already being prepared."

Chai Jing followed Qin Huaying to the theater in the backyard.

The Grand Tutor's Mansion covers a very large area, which looks like at least several dozen acres. The backyard is a large theater, and the sound of opera can be heard from a distance.

Chai Jing and Qin Huaying chatted and laughed all the way into the theater. When the Qin family saw the princess, they all stood up and knelt to greet her. Chai Jing waved her hand, asking them to stand up, and walked to the empty seat in the middle and sat down.

Although she was young, she was of the most noble status, so the best seat in the middle was naturally hers. As soon as she arrived, the Qin family gave up their seats to her.

There were already some cakes and fruits on the table. Chai Jing took a look and turned to Luo Jin and said, "I don't like these cakes. Pick some other ones for me."

Qin Huaying was slightly startled, and then ordered his men, "Take this girl to the back kitchen to get cakes."

Luo Jin didn't understand, so she followed the instructions and followed an old nanny from the Grand Tutor's Mansion to the kitchen. The back kitchen of the Grand Tutor's Mansion was very large, larger than the courtyard of an ordinary family. A dozen men and women were busy in the kitchen. The old lady led Luo Jin to a shelf and said, "The snacks are all here. There are some fruit preserves over there. Take whatever you like. I'll have someone bring it over. Just take more."

Luo Jin saw layers of cakes on the shelf, dozens of different kinds of snacks, which made her drool.

"Can I taste that?" Luo Jin said, "I'll know if it tastes good after I've tasted it, right?"

The old lady said, "Please feel free to take it, young lady."

Luo Jin's eyes lit up, and she grabbed a piece of pink snack and took a bite. It was soft and glutinous, with a hint of peach blossom fragrance, and very delicious.

She ate several kinds of snacks. Although the snacks were delicious, she felt a little greasy after eating too much. She saw a plate of black snacks and picked up a piece. It tasted sour, but it relieved the greasy feeling.

This reminded her. She turned around and said to the old nanny: "The princess likes to eat sour plums. You bring a plate over."

The old nanny replied: "Yes!"

Luo Jin picked a few plates of sour snacks and mixed them with a few plates of sweet snacks, and asked the old nanny to send them to the stage.

She thought to herself that if a pregnant person, she might feel disgusted and like sour food more than usual. If Qin Huaying ate more sour snacks and fruits, she would have a reason to remind the princess that Qin Huaying might be pregnant.

When the old lady turned around, Luo Jin secretly took a few more snacks and put them in her sleeves, thinking of taking them back for a midnight snack. Anyway, there were a lot of snacks here, and no one would notice if she took a few.

Then she returned to the theater.

The play was singing a touching part, and several female relatives were emotional, secretly wiping their tears with handkerchiefs.

The maids in the Grand Tutor's Mansion had already put the snacks on the table. Chai Jing nodded with satisfaction, "These are all the snacks that this princess likes to eat. It's a good choice. There will be a reward when I go back!"

[Ah? There will be a reward for this? Princess is generous! Generous! ]

[Qin Huaying ate sour plums! Princess, please notice it! ]

[She is eating sour things again, sour date cakes! Humph! I'm so smart! ]

[I will remind the princess when I go back. I hope she can believe me. 】

Chai Jing naturally noticed it as well.

She grew up with Qin Huaying, but she couldn't remember when she started to like sour food so much.

In order to maintain her figure, Qin Huaying never ate cakes much, and she only ate a little fruit when listening to opera. Especially when she knew that these sour cakes would add more sugar than other snacks to neutralize the sour taste, making people gain weight more easily, she never touched sour cakes.

But today she ate two pieces of sour date cakes in a row, which was indeed very abnormal.

Qin Huaying finally stopped after eating two pieces of sour date cakes. She had a small appetite, and she was full after eating two pieces of cakes and couldn't eat any more. She especially wanted to eat sour things when she saw them, so she subconsciously picked up the cakes and ate them, and didn't notice what she was eating until she was full.

Looking back at Chai Jing, fortunately she had been watching the play, and it seemed that she didn't notice it.

Chai Jing pretended to be watching the play, and didn't notice Qin Huaying's behavior at all. She wiped her tears deliberately and sighed: "It's too tragic. Both of them died and turned into butterflies..."

Qin Huaying shook her head and said: "I think that people have hope only when they are alive, but they have nothing when they die. If these two people don't die, maybe there will be a chance in the future."

Chai Jing was slightly stunned, looking at the stage thoughtfully.

[Speaking of which, if Qin Huaying was Zhu Yingtai, she would probably marry Ma Wencai, and then secretly have an affair with Liang Shanbo to cuckold him. After getting married, she would find an opportunity to kill Ma Wencai, and remarry Liang Shanbo with the family property. ]

[How miserable Ma Wencai... Well, Chai Heng is Ma Wencai. 】

【Poor Chai Heng...】

Chai Jing said goodbye and left after watching the show, as if she had come to watch the show on purpose.

After getting on the carriage, Chai Jing noticed that Luo Jin's sleeves were bulging, as if he was hiding something. She suddenly had an idea, and took advantage of the bumpy start of the carriage, pretending to accidentally bump into Luo Jin's arm.

Two cakes fell out of Luo Jin's sleeves. Luo Jin was a little nervous, and hurriedly covered the cakes with her skirt.

Chai Jing held back her laughter and pretended not to know. She stole a glance and saw that when her sight was away, Luo Jin quietly bent down, picked up the cakes very lightly, and put them back into his sleeves.

Chai Jing couldn't help laughing.

Luo Jin's expression tensed, "Princess... why..."

Chai Jing took back her smile with difficulty, "It's nothing, I'm in a good mood today, so I smiled when I wanted to."

"Oh...that..." Luo Jin took the opportunity to bring up, "The eldest lady of the Qin family likes to eat sour snacks! I remember that my aunt only liked to eat sour food when she was pregnant. It turns out that someone has always liked to eat sour food."

Chai Jing pretended to be surprised, "Ah? I didn't notice it! Speaking of which...she doesn't eat sour food normally, why does she like it so much today? Why is that? Is she pregnant? No way? Although I have a good relationship with her, my second brother is more important...No, I have to tell my brother!"

She could no longer hear Luo Jin's thoughts at this time, but she saw with her peripheral vision that Luo Jin finally showed a relieved smile.

"Princess is very smart, I was just talking nonsense, don't take it to heart."

...

After returning to the palace, Chai Jing quietly went to see Chai Heng and told him what she saw today.

"I'm 90% sure that she is pregnant," Chai Jing said with certainty, "She would never eat so many sour snacks normally. I know her very well. And I looked carefully, her waist is indeed a little thicker. She has always been very restrained in her diet and would never let herself gain weight, so her waist has always been very thin. I am jealous every time I see it... But today her waist doesn't look thin at all!"

Chai Heng sat down on the ground, holding his head and rubbing his hair vigorously.

"How could this happen... I like her so much..."

Chai Jing did not comfort him. She watched him comb his hair into a mess and then said, "Be more open-minded. There are many good girls in the world. Since she is so vicious, there is no need for you to linger on her. It's just... she deceived your feelings and wanted to use you and frame you. I will never let her go!"

There was a flash of coldness in her eyes.

Chai Heng calmed down and thought of something, "Luo Jin said that her child is the enemy's prince... Is it the Xiyuan prince Jiang Ge's child?"

Chai Jing sneered, "You are not stupid... Yes, if she is pregnant with Jiang Ge's child, it would be very interesting, isn't it?"

"But Luo Jin's voice... is it really credible?"

"I think it is credible, at least the pregnancy has come true, isn't it?"

...

Luo Jin returned to the palace and received the princess's reward, which was a string of pearl bracelets, each of which was full of large pearls and looked particularly valuable. It's just that the shape is particularly tacky, giving people a feeling of nouveau riche. Of

course, she would not dislike this shape, and even felt that it would not take long for her to save enough money for her old age.

Her face was almost broken with smiles when she thought about living a retired life at the age of 25.

As a social animal in her previous life, she was either working overtime or on her way to work overtime every day. If she was not careful, her bonus would be deducted. She did not dare to resign. With the pressure of mortgage and car loans, she could only work hard.

At that time, her biggest wish was to retire one day.

Luo Jin knocked out the bricks under the bed, dug a hole in the soil below, and then put the pearl flowers and pearl bracelets she had just taken into a small pottery jar, hid it in the hole, and covered it with bricks.

This is her retirement fund, and she can't let anyone steal it.

She even took off her new clothes, washed them and put them away. These clothes were very valuable, so she had to take good care of them and make sure they were not bitten by insects or rats. She could sell them for money in the future!

At this time, the sound of a door opening was heard outside. Luo Jin poked her head out and saw the princess coming back with Nanny Zhao. Although she didn't know where the princess had just gone, she felt that the princess was very friendly at this moment.

If she stayed in front of the princess more often, this prodigal girl might give her something on a whim. The princess's things, no matter how insignificant they were, were all valuable and good things.

Thinking of this, Luo Jin hurried out of the house to receive the carriage.

Sure enough, the princess waved at Luo Jin, "Come in with me!"

Luo Jin smiled and followed the princess into the main hall.
