Imperial Physician Chen did not expect Duke Ding to be lucky in the future, and his wife was pregnant with twins. Although it would take two months to be completely sure, Imperial Physician Chen is an experienced imperial physician, and he said this just to be on the safe side.
"Physician Chen, Ningbao will need your attention in the future." Mrs. Xie said quickly, her daughter-in-law was pregnant with twins, and she was both happy and worried.
I can't wait for Imperial Physician Chen to stay in Dingguo's mansion.
"It should be. Madam's fetal phase is very stable, and she will definitely give birth to a healthy and strong child." Imperial Physician Chen nodded with a smile. This is the heir of Duke Ding, so how could he not care about it.
"Okay, okay, that's fine."
Mrs. Xie's eyes were almost cracked with laughter.
After having a son, she is very happy as a mother, especially Ning Bao, who is pregnant with two. After a few months, she will be able to embrace her white and fat grandson.
The corners of Jiang Ningbao's eyebrows and eyes were filled with joy. She stroked her slightly protruding abdomen. No wonder her belly was faintly protruding after only three months. It turned out that she was pregnant with twins.
Jiang Ningbao was more concerned now, and quickly asked Doctor Chen about the precautions for raising a fetus.
After Imperial Physician Chen left, Mrs. Xie couldn't help but exhorted: "Ningbao, you are pregnant with twins now, if you want to eat anything, just ask, and you must give me a white and fat one."
Jiang Ningbao pursed her lips and smiled: "Mother, it's not confirmed whether it's twins, but I have a good appetite now, and everything I eat is delicious."
"Physician Chen said it's a sign of twins, so it's definitely true."
Mrs. Xie was immersed in joy.
Nanny Huang and Chunxi Chunle beside her were beaming with joy. Twins are a good omen, and their wives are indeed very lucky.
It's just that only a few people present secretly laughed at the news.
At noon, Duke Ding came back.
"My lord, the imperial doctor said that I might be pregnant with twins." After lunch, Jiang Ningbao stroked her slightly protruding abdomen and said happily, her whole body exuded the brilliance of motherhood.
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng was naturally happy when he heard this, and stroked Jiang Ningbao's abdomen with his big hand, with a look of joy in his eyes: "Really?"
"I think it's true in all likelihood. You see, I'm only three months pregnant, and my belly is protruding. I thought it was because I gained more nutrition and gained weight in the past three months. Now, according to the diagnosis of Chen Taiyi, I'm pregnant. There is a great possibility of having twins." Jiang Ningbao said shyly while nestling in Duke Ding's arms.
Duke Ding held his young wife in his arms, with a gentle look in his eyes, and kissed her on the cheek: "I heard that being pregnant with twins is very tiring, I will try to spend as much time as possible with you in the future."
Jiang Ningbao shook his head quickly: "No, my mother is still with me in the house. Grandpa, if you are busy at noon, you don't have to go back to the house. I can have dinner with my mother."
She is not a porcelain doll, she is eating well, sleeping well, her beautiful face is flushed, and her complexion is extremely good.
At the same time, there is no Yang Shuqing in the mansion, let alone worry.
Jiang Ningbao suddenly thought of Xie Jingyi who had been extremely abnormal recently, and asked with a frown.
"By the way, Lord Guo, what's going on with Jing Yi these days, why is he always free to eat with his mother in Rongxi Hall every day, isn't he the commander of the Wucheng army?"
The five city soldiers and horses are in charge of public security in the capital, and they should be extremely busy on weekdays, just like Xie Jingyi, who is often not in the mansion after getting married.
Now he keeps swaying in front of her.
Duke Ding raised his eyebrows when he heard his young wife mentioning his adopted son, and said in a low voice, "Marquis Anyuan and King Qin recently joined forces to find trouble with him, and they found a few mistakes and dismissed him from his official position."
There was a hint of austerity in his tone.
The King of Qin and the Marquis of Anyuan have become more and more rampant recently. The commander of the Wucheng soldiers and horses is not a high-ranking official, but he has real power. If the adopted son is dismissed from the official position, they can arrange for their confidantes to take up the post.
Jiang Ningbao's eyes widened, and he said in shock, "What, dismissed from office?" Xie Jingyi is the adopted son of Duke Ding, who is so courageous.
Also, why did the Duke and the Emperor agree to it? With Xie Jingyi's temperament, he would never do anything against the heavens and reason, and it would be too much to dismiss him from office.
No wonder Xie Jingyi is so abnormal these days.
Jiang Ningbao felt that he had found the reason.
"It doesn't matter if this official position is gone, the emperor intends to let him be the commander of the imperial guards." Duke Ding said indifferently, this adopted son has become more and more calm since he abandoned the Yang family, and he has done extremely well in the tasks entrusted to him.
Jiang Ningbao: "..."
So that's the case, she just said, the commander of the imperial guards is the emperor's close servant, Xie Jingyi is someone who has the aura of a hero, how could he be stepped down so casually.
"Is this a blessing in disguise?" Jiang Ningbao smiled.
Ding Guogong circled the person in his arms tightly, and said ambiguously: "It's considered."
…
Kam Wah Court
Xie Jingyi, who was dressed in a white robe, stood tall and straight by the window lattice, looking at the bright sunshine outside, his thoughts wandered to nowhere.
In the past few days, he has been having a dream intermittently.
Everything in the dream was so real, as if it had happened before.
Xie Jingyi's thin lips were tightly pursed. He never thought that he would have such a ridiculous dream. In the dream, he married his former fiancée Jiang Ningbao.
Yang Shuqing never appeared in his life.
In his dream, he heard that Yang Shuqing, the eldest daughter of Marquis Anyuan, fell in love with King Jin at first sight, and vowed to marry King Jin as his side concubine. In the end, she married King Jin as she wished, and wholeheartedly helped King Jin ascend to the throne. In the end, it came to a miserable end.
His adoptive father died two years later and remained unmarried all his life.
The reality is the opposite of the dream.
The difference is that after Yang Shuqing appeared in his life disguised as a man, everything behind him was different from the direction in his dream.
Xie Jingyi was originally a very intelligent person.
Thinking of Yang Shuqing's secret actions to suppress King Jin, wanting the sky-high price of wine from Shangyun Winery under Yang Shuqing's name, thinking of Yang Shuqing's skillful pleasing him during the wedding night...
There are also some poor family members she befriended when she was disguised as a man, the poor sons of the family... These people were all high-ranking figures in the dream.
A terrifying thought came to Xie Jingyi's mind, and his eyes suddenly became sharp and deep.
Yang Shuqing can predict the future.
He is the future Dingguo Duke, so she changed his fate, Jiang Ningbao's fate, and the fate of the people in Changningbo Mansion.
Thinking of him and Jiang Ningbao's children and grandchildren in the dream, happily ever after, because Yang Shuqing stepped in, she became the adoptive father's wife and his adoptive mother.
In this life, he and Jiang Ningbao have nothing to do with each other.
For the first time, Xie Jingyi developed a bit of hatred towards Yang Shuqing, and at the same time hated himself for falling into Yang Shuqing's schemes. For her, he was charged with unfilial piety and unrighteousness, ruining Jiang Ningbao's reputation.
…
The days when Jiang Ningbao raised her baby were extremely leisurely. Two days later, Emperor Qianyuan appointed Xie Jingyi as the commander of the imperial guards. When the news came out, King Qin and Marquis Anyuan were shocked, and King Qin had a bad feeling in his heart.
Ding Guogong made a move.
The two came up with this thought at the same time, King Qin suddenly regretted listening to Shu Qing's words, dealing with Xie Jingyi, Xie Jingyi is the adopted son of Ding Guogong anyway, so they can't do anything.
Now it's all right, some of the ministers that King Qin had wooed suddenly turned their backs.
As long as Ding Guogong said a word, it was almost impossible to get to that position, but the people in King Jin's faction were overjoyed.
After hearing the news, Yang Shuqing was still full of confidence except for the shock at the beginning. At the same time, he wrote a letter to appease King Qin, telling him to be calm and calm.
That spot will be his.
Emperor Qianyuan lived a little longer than Duke Dingguo, and when Duke Dingguo left, Emperor Qianyuan was still alive, with her Yang Shuqing around, it was almost impossible for Xie Jingyi to inherit the title of Duke Dingguo.
Duke Ding's connections will not be inherited by Xie Jingyi.
So Xie Jingyi is nothing to be afraid of.
King Qin has a deep affection for Yang Shuqing, so comforted by her, he also felt that what Yang Shuqing said was reasonable, and no one would know who the final winner would be before the end of the matter.
The person involved, Xie Jingyi, did not expect that he would become the commander of the Imperial Guard, and his mood was complicated. He knew that all this must be the intention of his adoptive father.
Although the adoptive father is serious and indifferent, Xie Jingyi still respects this adoptive father very much.
He thought of everything that happened in the dream, and then looked at his loving adoptive father and mother in reality, and pursed his thin lips, unable to stop the inexplicable thoughts in his heart.
Since Xie Jingyi became the commander of the imperial guards, he has become a favorite again. The official media came to the door to say goodbye. Jiang Ningbao rubbed his eyebrows and sent away one official media after another silently.
"Chunxi, after the young master comes back, please come to the main courtyard."
Jiang Ningbao decided to hand over the choice to Xie Jingyi.
As soon as Xie Jingyi came back, he learned that his adoptive mother was going to see him, and for some reason, a look of anticipation rose in his heart. When he arrived at the main courtyard, he saw the beautiful woman sitting on the high seat, and his eyes flashed unconsciously.
"Meet... mother."
Xie Jingyi called out the word 'mother' again with some difficulty.
"Jing Yi, you are here. I have something to ask for your opinion. You and Mrs. Yang have been separated for a while, and there is no one in the room to wait for you. In the past few days, many official media have come to your door. Say hello for you, do you have someone you like?" Jiang Ningbao asked gently, taking a sip of warm water.
Xie Jingyi's eyes darkened, and his hands under the sleeves tightened: "Mother, I have no intention of getting married right now."
"Then let me help you reject those official media first."
Jiang Ningbao took a deep look at Xie Jingyi, and an unbelievable thought popped up in his heart, the male lead would not be hurt too deeply by the female lead, so he decided not to marry for life, right
"Thank you, mother."
Xie Jingyi heaved a sigh of relief, he really has no intention of getting married now.
"You don't need to thank me. It's a matter of your life. You can handle it yourself. I won't meddle in your marriage at will." Jiang Ningbao said indifferently.
Xie Jingyi had mixed feelings in his heart.
Jiang Ningbao did what he said, and rejected all the official media the next day, and said that this was what Xie Jingyi meant, and she didn't want to blame him.
After Duke Ding knew about it, he didn't say anything.
The youngest wife is pregnant with twins, and the house is not suitable for planning marriage matters. Since the adopted son has no idea, Duke Ding of course will not force him to get married.
With the coming of Qiu Wei, Jiang Jin finally returned to Beijing from the academy to prepare for the exam. Jiang Ningbao finally met her eldest brother. The eldest brother is still unparalleled in handsomeness, but he has added a bit of bookishness.
Jiang Jin saw Ningbao who was still radiant after pregnancy, and heard that she had to drink soup made of chicken fed with medicinal herbs in Princess Rui's village every day, so she knew that her life was extremely nourishing.
After the two siblings talked about old times, Jiang Jin went back to wait for the scientific examination in peace.
After her eldest brother left, Jiang Ningbao was still in a happy mood. This time, without the scheme of the heroine Yang Shuqing, her eldest brother would definitely win the election, and next year's Chunwei would definitely be a Tanhualang.
"Chunxi, the fifth girl is going to get married in a few days, you can bring me a generous gift to add makeup to her." Even though Jiang Ningbao was pregnant, she still did not forget that Jiang Mingyao was getting married.
Now Jiang Mingyao is white, just the daughter of a wealthy family. The Zhang family is gone. I heard that my uncle is going to marry again. Jiang Ningbao thought about it. Adding a make-up ceremony is still to give Jiang Mingyao a face, so that the man's family will not dare to neglect Jiang Mingyao.
There will be no more, and you will need to manage it yourself in the days to come.
Jiang Ningbao stroked her protruding abdomen and smiled slightly, but when she thought of her parents who didn't know where they were, she sighed silently, this damn plot.
It seems that we can only wait until next year for the family reunion.
I hope that when parents come back, they won't blame her and elder brother for breaking up the family without permission, and they will also toss away the good Changningbo Mansion.
