Chapter 492: I value this pregnancy very much
After hearing this, Lu Zhiran couldn't help but worry about Ye Hanyi and Ge Xubai.
Xiao Yanci changed the subject, "Grandfather certainly doesn't want Hanyi to marry far away, but if Ge Xubai passes his test, he won't stop her. Grandfather loves Hanyi very much."
He smiled again, "Of course, he loves me too."
There was a hint of pride in his tone.
After hearing this, Lu Zhiran became inexplicably nervous.
That was Xiao Yanci's maternal grandfather, one of his most important elders.
In the past, she would not be nervous when facing Concubine Rou, nor would she feel ashamed of her second marriage, because at that time, she only wanted to play the role of Princess Jin well.
Now, her state of mind has changed and she begins to really care about what his family thinks.
Xiao Yanci held her hand and said firmly, "When he sees you, he will definitely like you. No one will dislike you."
Lu Zhiran was amused by his words, and the nervousness she had just felt disappeared.
"I'm not silver, how can I be so likable?"
He said seriously, "Who said that? I don't like silver, I only like you."
When Lu Zhiran heard this, her cheeks felt slightly hot, and her heart seemed to be soothed by something warm, but she laughed at him.
"You don't like silver? It's silver that doesn't like you."
Xiao Yanci: ...
The weather in autumn is the most comfortable. Lu Zhiran's appetite has improved, even a little too good.
The enthusiasm with which she ate reminded Xiao Yanci of Xiao Baozhu.
It’s not that I don’t want her to eat it, but Jiang Nansheng said that pregnant women should not take too much tonic, so as to avoid the fetus being too large and causing difficult labor.
But Lu Zhiran was greedy, and Xiao Yanci couldn't bear to stop her from eating, so he could only eat with her, and speed up to snatch food from her mouth.
In this way, she satisfied her craving without overeating.
But after eating like this for a month, Xiao Yanci became visibly fatter, with an extra layer of flesh on his chin.
If you don’t know, you might think Xiao Yanci is the pregnant one.
When Concubine Rou saw Lu Zhiran, who was still slim except for her bulging belly, and then saw Xiao Yanci, whose face had become fatter, she almost suspected that Lu Zhiran was being treated harshly.
Xiao Yanci: ...I've endured too much.
The memorial from the King of Southern Yunnan requesting to come to the capital to report on his work was delivered to the capital, and Emperor Defeng approved it.
In Xiping, Ren Zongping was ordered to take over military affairs in the first two years. The internal situation in Xiping was still unstable, so no one came to Beijing to report on their work for two years.
This year, the internal power changes and adjustments in Xiping were basically completed, and only then did Ge Xubai submit a report to Beijing to report on his work.
Ren Zongping was the confidant sent by Emperor Defeng to Xiping. Now that three years have passed, Emperor Defeng must want to hear from Ren Zongping in person about the current situation of the Xiping army.
Xiao Yanci approved Xiping's memorial but did not report it to Emperor Defeng.
Now he is in charge of government affairs and handles most of the government affairs. Only particularly important matters need to be reported to Emperor Defeng.
The matter of the Xiping generals coming to the capital to report on their work was not a big deal, but it was not a small matter either. Even if he had not reported it, Emperor Defeng would have had no reason to mobilize a large army to question him.
This matter concerns the marriage of Ye Hanyi and Ge Xubai, so he naturally has to help.
But this is all the help he can offer. Whether Ge Xubai can get past his grandfather depends on himself.
November came in a flash and the weather began to get colder.
After Lu Zhiran became pregnant, her body became hot and she was not as afraid of cold as before.
She has been pregnant for more than six months, her belly is bulging, and her whole body exudes a graceful and elegant temperament.
Since Concubine Rou was not able to leave the palace, she would occasionally enter the palace to pay her respects to Concubine Rou.
Every time she entered the palace, Emperor Defeng would go to Xiyan Palace to sit and see how she looked when she was pregnant.
After all, he is Xiao Yanci's first child, and Emperor Defeng values him very much.
Every time Lu Zhiran saw Emperor Defeng, she felt that he looked much older than before, his back became more hunched, and his body became thinner.
There was a floor heater burning in the hall. Lu Zhiran and Concubine Rou were both wearing light clothes, but Emperor Defeng was still wearing a thick coat. He had only sat for a while before his eyelids felt heavy. When Concubine Rou spoke to him, he took a long time to come back to his senses and his reaction became very slow.
Lu Zhiran and Concubine Rou looked at each other, worry in their eyes.
Emperor Defeng is nearing the end of his life. Can he survive this cold winter?
Lu Zhiran asked Jiang Nansheng about Emperor Defeng's health. Jiang Nansheng didn't say it directly, but only said, "The emperor values your baby very much."
Lu Zhiran's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately had a guess in his mind.
Emperor Defeng's time was running out, but he refused to close his eyes because he did not see the birth of his grandson.
Lu Zhiran touched her belly and felt a heavy pressure rising in her heart.
If I gave birth to a princess, would the emperor die with hatred in his heart?
Lu Zhiran looked at Jiang Nansheng and asked that question for the first time.
"Nan Sheng, can you tell if my baby is a boy or a girl?"
Jiang Nansheng gently shook her hand, his eyes gentle and firm. "Before the child is born, all predictions may be wrong. The best way is to not think about anything and wait for the fruit to ripen."
Jiang Nansheng did not give her an answer, but her gentle and firm attitude gave Lu Zhiran unlimited strength and confidence.
She put aside all distracting thoughts and stopped thinking about it.
The child is already in the belly, and whether it is a boy or a girl has long been determined. Since it cannot be changed, there is no point in worrying about it now. Let everything be left to God.
Half a month before the New Year, Lu Zhiran received a letter from Xing Chuxue.
After reading it, she couldn't help laughing.
"Chuxue is also pregnant and is now more than three months pregnant."
Xiao Baozhu and Jiang Nansheng were both happy for her.
Xiao Yanheng is weak, so it is naturally more difficult for him to have children than for others. Xing Chuxue has been injured and needs to be nursed back to health.
Now the two of them finally have good news, which is naturally a happy event.
Xiao Baozhu stared at Lu Zhiran's round belly and began to feel envious again.
She also wants to have a baby.
But Sun Muzhi was very stubborn in this regard, guarding against her and not giving her any chance at all.
Xiao Baozhu reached out and gently stroked Lu Zhiran's belly.
As soon as she touched it, she felt a light kick on her belly, leaving a small bump. She retracted her hand in surprise.
"He, he kicked me."
Lu Zhiran smiled and said, "It seems that he likes you as his aunt."
Xiao Baozhu put her hand on it again, and the little guy kicked it again out of courtesy.
Xiao Baozhu touched Lu Zhiran's belly here and there, enjoying herself very much.
"It's really fun. I want to have a baby too."
After hearing her words, Jiang Nansheng shook his head and laughed.
"You are still a child yourself. Let's talk about it when you grow up."
Xiao Baozhu yelled, "I'm one year older every new year. I'm already a mature adult!"
Lu Zhiran and Jiang Nansheng both laughed.
Only children who have not grown up will keep saying that they have grown up.
This also shows that Xiao Baozhu lived a carefree and happy life, so she could always be as simple as a child.
