Zhenxu glared at Baohe, still opening the umbrella and running into the snow, holding the paper umbrella over the heads of You Yuji and Si Que.
You Yuji withdrew her gaze from the bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts that Si Que was hiding in his arms, and she smiled gently at Si Que.
The snow was falling heavily, and the night was dyed white.
"Let's go into the house first." Her hand, which was on Si Que's forearm, slid down naturally, holding his hand, and went back into the house with him.
Zhenxu did not follow in, and he and Baohe left quickly and tactfully.
"Hehe, the princess braved the heavy snow to buy roasted chestnuts for the lady! They are available in the mansion, but the princess still went to buy them in person!" Baohe's eyes sparkled.
Zhenxu didn't respond. But she remembered that when the lady came back, she also bought a bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts. Could this be a tacit understanding? She glanced at Baohe's happy smile and couldn't help but smile for the lady.
Although You Yuji had only been outside for a short while, she could still feel the warmth in the room as soon as she entered. She immediately pulled Si Que to sit next to the beauty couch near the charcoal fire basin and brushed the snow off Si Que's shoulders with a handkerchief.
Her soft tone contained a hint of rebuke: "It's snowing so heavily, why did you go out to buy this yourself? Even if you want to eat roasted chestnuts from a certain shop, just send a servant out of the house to buy them."
Brushing off the snow on Si Que's shoulders, and seeing that his clothes were already wet, You Yuji turned around and went out to order someone to boil water so that Si Que could take a hot bath.
"Don't catch a cold..." She hurried to the small room to look for Si Que's spare clothes.
Si Que looked at her hurried appearance, silently opened the paper bag, took out a sugar-roasted chestnut and peeled it.
You Yuji came back with his clothes and saw him eating roasted chestnuts. She asked softly, "Are you hungry? Do you want some snacks?"
Si Que peeled the chestnuts slowly and handed the chestnut meat to You Yuzhi.
You Yuji raised her eyes slightly and smiled at him tenderly. She opened her mouth and ate the chestnut meat he handed over. Her soft lips touched his cold fingers.
You Yuji sat down beside him, held his hands in her palms, and rubbed them repeatedly, passing her own warmth to him.
Si Que was very quiet that night and hardly spoke a word.
Si Que took a long hot bath in the clean room. While waiting for her, You Yuji sat on the beauty couch, eating the sugar-roasted chestnuts he bought from outside.
Very sweet, fragrant and sticky.
When Si Que came back from bathing, You Yuzhi looked at his face carefully and found that he looked extremely pale.
She just thought that he, who was already weak, caught a cold on such a cold and snowy winter night.
After turning off the lights, the two of them lay down on the bed.
The surroundings became dark, and You Yuzhi still saw Si Que's pale face in front of her eyes. She was always worried about his health and was concerned that he had stopped taking medication in order to help her have a child.
When she thought about the fact that she still couldn't get pregnant, her mood fell again.
She turned over, facing Si Que, and held Si Que's hand in the darkness.
You Yuji frowned.
He had been in the hot bath for so long, why was he still so cold
"Are you feeling unwell?" She suppressed her worries and asked softly in a calm and gentle tone.
Si Que was indeed feeling very unwell and very tired. But he still said, "No, sister."
He heard a subtle rustling of clothes. Then his hand was pulled into You Yuji's lapel, and she used her body to warm his always cold hand.
Si Que's hand froze and he subconsciously wanted to take his hand back.
The next moment, You Yuji reached out to untie his clothes. Then, her warm body leaned over and hugged him tightly. Perhaps Si Que was too weak to notice when she untied his clothes.
Si Que closed his eyes, leaned over, touched You Yuzhi's ankle, and lifted her leg.
You Yuji was stunned for a moment, put her slender hand on his shoulder, and said hurriedly: "That's not what I meant, I just want to warm you up."
Although today is also a day with a red circle, he is so weak, how could she rob him unreasonably? That would be too bad for his health...
Si Que let out a sigh of relief, and the dark clouds in his heart eased a little.
Look, although my sister is very kind to everyone, she only helps the frozen Poison Tower owner to keep warm by covering him with a quilt and making a fire. She even ordered the guards to cover him with the quilt. She doesn't use her own body to keep him warm.
"Sister is so nice."
He slowly smiled, grabbed her hands that were resting on his shoulders, pressed them on top of her head, and held them tightly.
The next day, You Yuji woke up later than usual. She propped herself up and sat up, looking at Si Que beside her. Seeing that he was still not awake, she carefully placed the back of her hand on his forehead, and felt that her body was no longer as cold as yesterday, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at Si Que's eyes and told herself in her heart that she must take good care of him in the future. She must not let him take care of his body like this and must not let him feel cold anymore.
She lifted the quilt and tried to get out of bed, her sore legs moved down, the soles of her feet stepped on the uppers of her shoes. She frowned, not finding her clothes for a moment.
You Yuji's eyes moved downwards and fell on her abdomen. She could not help but put her hands on her belly, and the worry that she could never get pregnant came to her mind again.
Hopefully she could have had her baby last night.
She let out a sigh of relief, drove away her boredom, and quietly got out of bed to change clothes and take a shower. When it was time for breakfast, Si Que hadn't gotten up yet, and You Yuji didn't wake him up. She ate by herself and went to the flower hall.
There was still no news about Lin Yingying, and everyone in the mansion seemed to have concluded that she would never come back.
Cuiyu was in a better mood than before, at least she could talk and laugh. She was a talkative person, and without Lin Yingying, she always talked to Chunxing.
Hongzan would now sit for a little longer after paying her respects to You Yuji.
This morning, the princess invited the imperial physician with great fanfare. The princess's health has not been good, especially her headaches. She invited the imperial physician from the palace early in the morning, and everyone in the palace thought that she was unwell again.
Unexpectedly, not long after, the whole mansion reported the good news - the princess was pregnant.
At that time, Hong Zan had not left You Yuji's flower hall yet. She listened to Cui Yu and Chun Xing talking about this matter, and couldn't help but say a few more words. Although she didn't look down on Cui Yu's background, she had to keep a decent appearance when living under the same roof.
"What's wrong? Are you pregnant?" You Yuzhi came out from the small room.
Cuiyu immediately told the princess that she was pregnant. She smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the princess could get pregnant again at this age!"
Zhenxu came in from outside and reported: "Madam, the boss of Lingbao Pavilion has delivered the things."
She opened a box and let You Yuzhi take a look at it personally.
Inside was a baby's gold collar. You Yuji had Lingbao Pavilion make this for Jiang Chun's unborn child.
Several concubines were happily talking about the princess' pregnancy.
You Yuji looked at the gold necklace in the brocade box, and a feeling of depression gradually rose in her heart.
Even the Princess of Jinnan was able to get pregnant again after more than ten years, so why couldn't she get pregnant...
When the news reached Anxiangyuan, Fang Qingyi was completely stunned.
She staggered and fell backwards, but fortunately Green Comb supported her and she didn't fall. Green Comb helped her to sit down at the table.
Green Shu said awkwardly: "Auntie, please take care of yourself and don't hurt the baby in your belly."
When she mentioned the child, Fang Qingyi felt like being pricked by a needle in the heart.
"Go out. I want to be alone for a while." Fang Qingyi said.
Lu Shu didn't dare to say anything more and quickly retreated.
In Fang Qingyi's plan, she is the only one who has Chen Anzhi's child. As long as she gets rid of Chen Anzhi, she can become a powerful mother by virtue of her son, and then she can get rid of those who don't like her.
But she never expected that the princess would be pregnant again!
Although Chen Anzhi is still the crown prince, the position of crown prince should be passed to his legitimate son after his death. But based on Fang Qingyi's understanding of the princess, if her aunt gave birth to a son, the position of crown prince would definitely change.
"No, I can't panic..." Fang Qingyi closed her eyes and calmed herself down.
There was no turning back for her.
Early in the morning, the news that Princess Jinnan was pregnant spread in the mansion, and some close relatives immediately came to congratulate her upon hearing the news.
At noon, the doctor came out of Anxiangyuan, and the news that Fang Qingyi was pregnant was made public.
Fang Qingyi walked slowly to the main room, holding Lu Shu's hand and trying to kneel down to pay her respects. Considering that she was pregnant, Nanny Gu beside the princess immediately helped her up and didn't let her kneel.
"I have been drinking the contraceptive soup and somehow I got pregnant. I thought this might be God's will. I hope my aunt will help me and my wife will help me."
She was pregnant before marriage. After she got married, she hid the fact that she was pregnant. After enough time had passed, she only told it today and pretended that she got pregnant after she got married.
There were guests in the room, all of them were close relatives. The women exchanged glances secretly, but no one said anything. The affairs of Prince An were known to everyone in the capital. Today, the illegitimate son was going to be born before the legitimate son, which was not a matter of honor.
The princess pondered for a moment before speaking: "Being pregnant is a happy event for the palace. But logically speaking, a concubine's son should not be born before a legitimate son."
Fang Qingyi was stunned and suddenly looked up at the princess.
She had never expected this to happen!
Could it be that her aunt was really so cruel as to ask her to abort the child? Reason told her that her aunt would not do that, but she still couldn't help but feel horrified for a moment! Is this the treatment of a concubine
The princess turned her head and looked at You Yuji who was sitting quietly beside her, and said, "Since you are An Zhi's wife, this matter will naturally be decided by you."
The women quietly and secretly looked at You Yuji's expression, guessing that she would make such a choice. These women were all wives who were brought into the house in a sedan chair. They couldn't help but ask themselves, if they were You Yuji, would they do this...
Fang Qingyi's heart tightened again. She looked at You Yuji with a pale face.
At this moment, she deeply felt the fear of having her life in the hands of others. If the child in her belly was a girl, she swore that she would rather beat her to death than allow her to be a concubine in the future!
You Yuji came back to her senses, looked at Fang Qingyi, and said lightly: "Take good care of your pregnancy in the future."
Fang Qingyi's tightly clenched heart completely resumed its normal beating. The feeling of escaping a disaster did not make her happy, but made her feel ashamed!
You Yuji didn't stay with the princess for long before returning to Tanxiang Yingyue. Others thought she was unhappy because her illegitimate son was born first, but they didn't know that she was upset about something else.
Although she had known for a long time that Fang Qingyi was pregnant, she felt differently when it was officially announced today.
Within one day, two women in the mansion reported pregnancy. Everyone in the mansion said it was a twin pregnancy.
She stopped and looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, feeling extremely depressed.
Why doesn't she seem to be pregnant
She often heard about the concept of having children. If it wasn't there, it couldn't be forced. But why wasn't it there for her? Wasn't she a good mother? Why didn't any of the stars in the sky want to fall into her belly
You Yuji let out a long sigh and returned to Tan Xiang Ying Yue in a depressed mood.
Si Que didn't get up until noon. He ate and took a bath. Knowing that You Yuji was not there, he lay back on the bed and played with Baisui.
"Sister?" Si Que turned his head and looked at You Yuzhi who came in with a smile.
"Don't play the 100-year-old game," she said.
Si Que loosened his hand, changed his expression to be serious, and asked: "What's wrong?"
The author has something to say: Sister: Stop playing the 100-year-old game!!!
Little Princess: Then what shall we play…
I secretly put up a double
