Chapter 89: Looks Good But Doesn't Work
Jiang Zhaoyue's eyes slowly fell on Zhang Siyin's lower abdomen, and she looked at Zhang Siyin in surprise: "You, you, you are pregnant?"
Zhang Siyin blushed and nodded slightly.
Jiang Zhao asked curiously, "When did it happen?"
Zhang Siyin said shyly, "It was just confirmed two days ago."
"How many months?"
"A little over a month."
"Did you get pregnant the night I beat and scolded you?"
Zhang Siyin's face was red, almost bleeding: "Second sister-in-law, stop talking nonsense."
"It seems like you two are quite good at having fun." Jiang Zhaoyue teased.
Zhang Siyin was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak.
"Okay, okay, I won't tell you." Jiang Zhaoyue turned and asked, "Did the doctor from the Lu Mansion diagnose you?"
"Yeah." Zhang Siyin nodded.
"What did he say?"
"He said the pulse is very normal, there is no problem." Zhang Siyin hurriedly instructed: "However, they say that you can't tell outsiders about the first three months of pregnancy. My second brother and sister-in-law also kept it a secret for me."
Zhang Siyin and Pei Jingxiao had been married for several years and had encountered various problems that nearly led to their separation. They finally had a child and would definitely cherish him. Jiang Zhaoyue held her hand carefully: "Don't worry, I'll only tell Second Master."
Zhang Siyin nodded.
"Does Big Brother know?"
"He was the first one to notice something was wrong with me, and then he called in the doctor from the Lu Mansion."
"Big brother loves big sister-in-law very much."
"Stop teasing me."
Jiang Zhaoyue deliberately rolled her eyes at her: "You can tease me, but I can't say a word to you."
"You are so unforgiving with your mouth." Zhang Siyin said with a smile.
Jiang Zhaoyue smiled and asked, "Do father and mother know?"
"Father already knows. Mother is staying indoors and not seeing anyone because of my third sister's matter, so she doesn't know anything yet."
"Then leave her alone."
Zhang Siyin nodded.
Jiang Zhaoyue asked again: "Then what do you need to pay attention to now?"
"The doctor at the Lu Mansion said that apart from not allowing sex, there's nothing else to worry about. I'm not good at using a knife or a gun anyway. It's just that this is my first time getting pregnant, so I'm quite nervous."
Jiang Zhaoyue noticed Zhang Siyin's nervousness and held her hand tightly, saying, "Don't be nervous. Take every step carefully, and there will be a surprise tomorrow."
Zhang Siyin shook Jiang Zhaoyue's hand back: "Talking to you makes me feel much more relaxed."
"If you have anything in the future, you can always talk to me."
"Okay, let me tell you about the eldest princess now."
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded.
Zhang Siyin not only talked about the eldest princess, but also talked about the appropriate clothes to wear, the decorations to be worn, the words to be said, etc. At the end, he added the people who might come to celebrate the birthday.
Jiang Zhaoyue is usually lazy, but she has a sharp mind and she wrote everything down.
"Anyway, when the time comes, you just do what others do," said Zhang Siyin.
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded: "Okay, then I'll go back and prepare."
"If you need anything, come find me again."
"Well, take it easy on your pregnancy. I'll come see you when I'm free."
"good."
When Jiang Zhaoyue returned to Linhua Courtyard, she discussed with Baoxia and Nanny Sun about celebrating the eldest princess' birthday. When Pei Jingzhou came back in the evening, she asked, "Second Master, what birthday gift should we give?"
Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows.
"What's wrong?"
"You worry about that?"
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Zhaoyue raised her head and said proudly, "I am the mistress of Linhua Courtyard. I have prepared clothes, jewelry and everything else."
"Really? Let me see."
"Just take a look." Jiang Zhaoyue took Pei Jingzhou on a tour.
I have to admit again that Jiang Zhaoyue may seem unreliable, but his actions are really impeccable. But Pei Jingzhou asked curiously, "Do you understand these things?"
Jiang Zhaoyue said honestly, "I asked my sister-in-law for advice."
"You are thoughtful." Pei Jingzhou was delighted to see Jiang Zhaoyue doing so well.
"Did I do particularly well?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked, tilting his head.
"Um."
"Just huh?"
"Praise me more." Jiang Zhaoyue hugged Pei Jingzhou's arm.
Pei Jingzhou said, "Excellent work."
"I told you to pay attention to the beautiful verses in the book so that you can praise me later. Didn't you pay attention?"
"I've been busy lately and haven't read any leisure books."
"Hmph." Jiang Zhaoyue let go of Pei Jingzhou's arm, turned around and left.
So cute.
Pei Jingzhou couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.
Jiang Zhaoyue suddenly turned around: "Are you laughing at me?"
Pei Jingzhou pursed his lips: "No."
"You just laughed, what the hell was that?"
Pei Jingzhou really couldn't help laughing out loud this time.
Jiang Zhaoyue ran back and punched Pei Jingzhou's shoulder with her little fists.
Pei Jingzhou didn't feel any pain at all. Instead, after such a quarrel with her, most of the depression he had accumulated in the court and the palace dissipated. He held her wrists and said, "I was wrong. I will definitely praise you next time."
"That's good enough. Let go and have dinner." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Pei Jingzhou let go.
Jiang Zhaoyue suddenly let out an "ah".
"What's wrong?" Pei Jingzhou asked.
"I forgot to tell you, my sister-in-law is pregnant." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
"Pregnant?"
"Yeah, more than a month."
Pei Jingzhou reacted and smiled immediately: "That's great."
"Yeah, big brother's leg hasn't fully healed yet, but he's already made big sister pregnant. What about you?" Jiang Zhaoyue looked at Pei Jingzhou and shook her head: "Looks good but no use."
Pei Jingzhou's face darkened: "Say it again."
"I'm so hungry, I'm going to eat." Jiang Zhaoyue ran away like a rabbit.
Pei Jingzhou quickly reminded: "Your feet..."
Jiang Zhaoyue had disappeared.
It seemed that she was almost well, and Pei Jingzhou was no longer worried. However, when he thought of her words "all looks good but no use", his face suddenly turned dark again. It was not until dinner that he looked at her with a good face.
But Jiang Zhaoyue forgot what he said and didn't care at all.
Pei Jingzhou was angry again. When she went to sleep, she snuggled into his arms. When she hugged him, he was no longer angry.
He cursed himself for being useless in his heart. When he got up at dawn the next day, he thought of the five words "good-looking but useless" and was still angry. He walked up to Jiang Zhaoyue and secretly bit her lips.
When Jiang Zhaoyue got up, she kept touching her lips.
"Second Madam, what's wrong?" Xiangqiao asked.
"Are my lips swollen?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
Xiangqiao took a look and said, "A little bit."
"It must have been Second Master who kissed me secretly! What a sultry fellow!"
Xiangqiao almost couldn't hold the basin of water.
Jiang Zhaoyue soon became busy with the affairs of Linhua Courtyard and put this matter behind her. In the next few days, she went to see Zhang Siyin whenever she had time, and in the blink of an eye it was the eldest princess' birthday.
Jiang Zhaoyue and Pei Jingzhou dressed up, got on a carriage, and came to the Princess's Mansion.
Pei Jingzhou led her hand and got out of the carriage.
"Second Master, you are so handsome." Jiang Zhaoyue praised.
"You've praised me fifty-six times." Pei Jingzhou said.
Jiang Zhaoyue smiled gently.
"Let's go." Pei Jingzhou said.
Jiang Zhaoyue let go of Pei Jingzhou's hand.
Pei Jingzhou was surprised.
"Other couples don't hold hands." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Pei Jingzhou was a little uncomfortable with the sudden change in rules, but he didn't force it.
The two walked into the Princess's Mansion together.
The maid led the two to the eldest princess's Wenhua Palace.
The Wenhua Hall was like a huge art exhibition hall, with various ink paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls. Although Jiang Zhaoyue didn't understand them, it felt very expensive and cultured. The guests gathered in groups of three or four to discuss.
"Master Pei and Madam Xi are here." The maid said softly.
The guests turned to look.
Jiang Zhaoyue and Pei Jingzhou exchanged greetings together.
Someone who was familiar with Pei Jingzhou came over to talk to him.
Pei Jingzhou also took Jiang Zhaoyue to greet some high-ranking officials.
Feeling the gazes of many people, Jiang Zhaoyue smiled the whole time.
"Jing Peng... Oh no, Jing Zhou, oh no, it's Lord Pei." Suddenly a man in purple clothes with python patterns walked over.
Pei Jingzhou saluted: "Greetings, Third Prince."
Jiang Zhaoyue followed suit and saluted: "Third Prince."
"Master Pei, you are too polite." The Third Prince Xiao Zinan added, "You look very similar to my royal brother. When you salute me, I always feel disrespectful to my royal brother."
Pei Jingzhou said, "Your Highness the Third Prince is too kind to me."
Xiao Zinan curled his lips and turned his gaze to Jiang Zhaoyue who was standing beside Pei Jingzhou. She had delicate features, a bright and beautiful figure, and a slender figure, but her breasts were breasts, her waist was waist, and her hips were hips. His eyes lit up: "Master Pei is so lucky."
Pei Jingzhou frowned slightly.
Jiang Zhaoyue continued, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness."
Xiao Zinan smiled and took two steps towards Pei Jingzhou.
Jiang Zhaoyue subconsciously took a step back.
Xiao Zinan lowered his voice and said with a smile, "Master Pei, it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to die."
Pei Jingzhou clenched his fists suddenly.
