Chapter 20 The Princess is Pregnant
Nightfall.
Xu was invited to Deshan Hall.
The old lady wanted Xu to find out what the new number one scholar, Gu Ling, had to say.
Although the old lady is Lu Wanyi's biological mother, she is already old.
Now that Xu is a third-rank imperial official, it will naturally bring honor to Lu Wanyi.
Xu said frankly that she did not think highly of Gu Ling.
"Mother, although Gu Ling is talented, he is not worthy of her. Wan Yi deserves better!"
"Mother, if Wanyi marries him, you will definitely regret it! I raised Wanyi, how can I harm Wanyi?" Xu even shouted to stop her, and many people in the mansion heard it.
"So what if you raise her? Wan Yi is not your child. You are probably holding a grudge against Yan Shu for having his marriage rejected, and you can't bear to see her get along well."
The two parted on bad terms.
Everyone in the mansion knew about this, and this was exactly the effect Xu wanted.
She had to pick herself out.
The second day.
The old lady then asked someone to find out the truth.
This matter went extremely smoothly. Gu Ling had no power or influence, and marrying the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was already a great honor.
That same month, they asked someone to exchange engagement letters and arrange the marriage.
Lu Wanyi is already nineteen years old and will be twenty next year.
It was scheduled directly for three months later.
The marriage is a bit urgent, which shows how anxious the Lu family is.
There was laughter and conversation in the mansion, and everyone was happy, except for Xu, who had a gloomy face. Everyone thought she was not satisfied with her marriage.
Only Lu Chaochao knows.
Her mother wakes up laughing in her dreams every night.
Spring passed and autumn came. Lu Chaochao was already five months old. She took off her thick coat and put on a thin little skirt.
Her white and tender arms, like lotus root nodes, were exposed, looking delicate and soft like white dough.
A touch of red between her eyebrows makes her look like a fairy.
[Today is the Chinese Valentine’s Day, I really want to see the lantern festival…]
[I really want to go out. I have never been out before. 】Lu Chaochao heard the voice of the maid outside and kept muttering to herself.
She found that she could gradually make sounds, but her pronunciation was not very accurate.
She can now sit very steadily because she was well taken care of in the womb, and she can eat and sleep well, and can also crawl a little.
"Madam, Madam! The eldest princess came to tell you the news, saying that...she is pregnant!" Dengzhi hurried in, her face full of joy.
Xu suddenly sat up from the couch.
"Really?" He then put his hands together and bowed.
"May the Bodhisattva bless you, may the Bodhisattva bless you. Yu'er has been giving out porridge and clothes and doing countless good deeds over the years. After fourteen years of marriage, she is finally pregnant!!" Mrs. Xu cried with joy.
Her father was a tutor and often brought her into the palace.
As time went by, she and the eldest princess had a very good relationship since childhood.
"Quick, send someone to deliver the gift."
"Have you sent any letter to the palace?" Xu's face was full of joy.
"Yes, it's sent. The eldest princess is just three months pregnant and the baby has just taken root. She was the first to come to our house to report the news, and the second one came to the palace." Dengzhi couldn't help but be curious. The eldest princess seemed to value the lady very much.
Even the pregnancy was reported to the Marquis' Mansion first.
Xu was stunned.
"How long have you been pregnant?"
"All in all, today is exactly three months." Dengzhi also asked about the time carefully.
Xu suddenly looked towards Lu Chaochao. Lu Chaochao was sitting on the bed, sucking her fingers with relish.
Xu opened her mouth and said, "Three months ago, the eldest princess asked Chaochao for a child!"
"By the way, the princess also said that she would give the young lady a big gift to express her gratitude."
Dengzhi was a little curious: "Why did the princess give the young lady such a big gift?"
Xu's eyelids twitched. For some reason, she didn't want Chaochao's reputation to be exposed.
At least, not now.
She looked out the window and saw the mansion, with its colorful flowers, still as splendid as ever. But she has already begun to guard against the Marquis' Mansion.
"The eldest princess and Chaochao have some kind of fate, and this matter cannot be made public." She still remembered that her Chaochao almost lost his life when he was born.
Dengzhi nodded in agreement.
Xu thought about it and felt that since it was rare for Yu'er to get pregnant, she had to go there in person.
It happened that Lu Yuanxiao had just finished school, and he would come to his sister's cradle every day to recite his lessons.
"Yuanxiao, I'm sorry to trouble you to look after my sister today. She can crawl, so be careful that she doesn't fall off the bed. Mother may not be back until late." Xu knew that he had a good relationship with his sister, so she smiled and said.
Lu Yuanxiao's eyes lit up: "Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of my sister."
Yuanxiao raised his chest, haha, although I can't recite as well as my sister, but...
He is the older brother.
Hahaha……
This is the only confidence he has in front of his sister.
Why.
He had memorized the book for three months in front of his sister's cradle, and he only understood half of it. His sister...
I learned 100%.
He simply couldn't imagine what a powerful weapon his sister would be if she entered the school.
He felt inexplicably sympathetic towards his sister's future classmates!
"Sister Chaochao, your third brother is here to see you again." He heard his sister's mumbling before he even entered the door.
He looked around and saw that the maids were all outside the door.
"Do you want to go out and play? If you kiss your third brother, I will steal you out, how about that?" Lu Yuanxiao smiled.
The eight-year-old boy smiled like a wolf grandmother.
[Brother, brother, brother, brother... Dear third brother, please sneak me out! ! 】Lu Chaochao was almost suffocated. Today was Chinese Valentine’s Day, and she really wanted to go see the couple.
Ugh, I want to watch boys and girls.
She stretched out her white arms, which looked like lotus roots, and reached out to her third brother.
Lu Yuanxiao held her in his arms, and his arms felt heavy.
"Wow, Third Brother has finally found a use for his body!" Lu Yuanxiao felt like he was holding a sweet and soft treasure in his arms.
"mua..." Lu Chaochao kissed his third brother and a long string of saliva flowed down his face.
The third brother's eyebrows were curved.
My sister is so fragrant and soft.
"It's not enough, please coax Third Brother again." Lu Yuanxiao teased her deliberately.
Lu Chaochao sucked her fingers, her little face wrinkled. After thinking for a while, she reluctantly took her fingers out.
With saliva dripping from his mouth, he handed it to his third brother with a reluctant look on his face.
[Look, I grabbed a bowl at noon, and my hands still smelled a little like meat. Then... I'll share it with you. 】He stared at the third brother with his big eyes in protest, his face full of reluctance.
She aimed for a long time before she put it into the meat bowl!
“Hahahahahahaha…” Lu Yuanxiao almost laughed crazy when he saw the finger stretched out in front of him.
"Eat it, eat it. Third brother won't compete with you." He laughed so hard that tears came out.
Oh my god, how can his sister be so cute!
Lu Chaochao grinned with his toothless mouth and stuffed the food back in.
"Chao Chao, please suck your fingers less. They will become smaller and turn white." Lu Yuanxiao packed two sets of clothes for her. As the weather was a little hot, he changed her diaper.
Now he is extremely skilled at doing this.
He opened the door and said to Juexia and Yingxue, "My sister wants to take a nap. I'll stay with her in the room. Don't come in unless you have something to do."
My sister took a long nap, so I took the opportunity to sneak out.
The maid agreed and he closed the door.
He carried his sister on his back, sneakily opened the window and jumped out.
[Oh, the breath of freedom!] Thick hair...】Lu Chaochao cheered, her big eyes sparkling with light.
