In spring, after the rain, the sky cleared up and the whole house was filled with the chirping of insects and birds. The path was wet and a few raindrops were hanging on the treetops, about to fall.

Bai Zhiyuan opened his eyes and woke up. What he saw was a sky-blue tent. On one corner of the tent hung an exquisite sachet, and the air was filled with fragrance.

Bai Zhiyuan raised her eyes and looked to her side. She saw a young man lying beside her with his eyes closed, looking like he was sleeping soundly.

Bai Zhiyuan curled his lips, feeling a sense of happiness rising from the bottom of his heart.

She tiptoed to get out of bed. In a few days it would be the wedding day of her brother Bai Qiuze and Miss Su Qingxue of the Su family. She had to rush to the Bai Mansion to help today.

A pair of big hands hugged her around the waist, and the next second, she fell into a warm embrace. Xie Yunsong said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "My brother's wedding day is coming soon. I have made an appointment with my mother and future sister-in-law to pick out some jewelry and make some new clothes."

Xie Yunsong hugged her tighter and said, "It's still early. I'll take you there after breakfast."

Bai Zhiyuan said angrily, "Goodbye." Then she broke free from his embrace and said as she got dressed, "Have breakfast by yourself. I have an appointment with my mother and future sister-in-law. Let's go back to the Bai Mansion and have breakfast together."

Without waiting for Xie Yunsong to refute, Bai Zhiyuan quickly put on her clothes, and then she quickly kissed Xie Yunsong on the lips.

Xie Yunsong was stunned, his eyes full of smiles. Just as he was about to deepen the kiss, Bai Zhiyuan had quickly risen from his lips. While he was still immersed in her kiss, he saw that she had opened the door and called Ling Xiao.

Xie Yunsong frowned slightly, and had to swallow the dissatisfaction that was about to come out of his mouth, then looked at Ling Xiao with resentment as he helped Bai Zhiyuan wash and put on makeup.

But Bai Zhiyuan seemed not to notice his dissatisfaction, quickly packed up, turned around and said to him: "I'm leaving first, let Tianxun and Tianlin serve you dinner!"

After saying that, he strode away without looking back.

Leaving behind Xie Yunsong with a reluctant look on his face.

When Bai Zhiyuan hurried to the Bai Mansion, Su Qingxue had already arrived.

When Bai Zhiyuan saw Su Qingxue, he smiled and said, "Miss Su is here."

Bai Qiuze deliberately joked: "Still calling her Miss Su? Isn't it time for Ayuan to change her words?"

Bai Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, yes, brother is right. What do you think, sister-in-law?"

Su Qingxue blushed and said, "Ayuan is always making fun of people."

The corners of Bai Zhiyuan's lips couldn't help but curl up, with a hint of sly gloating between his brows.

Princess Duanhui looked at the children with a smile on her face and said, "Okay, let's eat quickly. After dinner, Qiu'er still has to go to the martial arts training ground to teach the soldiers martial arts. Your father has already gone there early in the morning. My mother and I will go out later to buy some things needed for the wedding."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and replied, "I understand, mother."

After they sat down, they found the table full of Bai Zhiyuan's favorite foods, sweet porridge paired with delicate, hot and sweet osmanthus cakes, and Princess Duanhui's freshly pickled plums, which really whetted their appetite.

Bai Zhiyuan didn't like sour things in the past, but today she ate several sour plums in a row. Even Bai Qiuze frowned and asked, "Sis, when did you like sour things so much?"

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "The pickled sour plums from my mother's family are so delicious that everything else seems a bit bland."

Princess Duanhui looked at her daughter lovingly and said with a smile, "If you like it, bring some back with you and eat it whenever you want."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled happily and said, "Thank you very much, mother."

Princess Duanhui smiled faintly, and soon seemed to have thought of something. She was stunned for a moment, and asked cautiously: "Ayuan, have you been feeling well recently?"

Bai Zhiyuan was slightly stunned and said, "I'm not feeling unwell, why is mother asking this?"

Princess Duanhui was silent for a moment, then tried again: "Ayuan, how long has it been since your period came?"

Bai Zhiyuan was stunned. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't remember when he last had his period. Too many things happened in the past few months. First, he was placed under house arrest by the King of Yan for a period of time. Then he experienced a palace coup when he came back. Soon, the new emperor ascended the throne. In the past two days, he was busy with his brother's wedding. He really neglected his body.

Seeing that Bai Zhiyuan couldn't answer, Princess Duanhui's heart beat wildly. She suppressed the answer that was about to come out of her mind and turned to the maid and said, "Quickly invite the palace doctor."

Bai Zhiyuan was puzzled and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Yes, mother, are you feeling unwell?" Bai Qiuze also asked.

Princess Duanhui shook her head and said with a smile: "She is not your mother, but your sister."

Su Qingxue frowned and asked, "Ayuan, do you feel uncomfortable?"

Bai Zhiyuan asked doubtfully: "Me?"

"I'm not feeling unwell anywhere, mother, why do you need to call a doctor?"

Princess Duanhui seemed a little excited, but she still said, "We'll know when the court doctor comes."

Everyone had a puzzled look on their faces.

The court physician hurried over soon, and Princess Duanhui immediately asked the court physician to take Bai Zhiyuan's pulse.

The palace physician is an old man with a white beard. He was a military doctor who used to follow Bai Tingxuan in the Southern Territory. He had no children or relatives. After the Southern Territory returned to the capital after a great victory, Bai Tingxuan let him stay in the Bai Mansion. In name, he was the palace physician, but in reality he was allowed to live out his days in the mansion.

The white-bearded doctor took Bai Zhiyuan's pulse carefully, thought for a long time, then stood up, bowed to Princess Duanhui and Bai Zhiyuan, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Madam, congratulations, Miss, your pulse is like a bead, which is a happy pulse. Miss has been pregnant for more than a month. This is a great joy for our Bai Mansion."

Bai Zhiyuan heard this and showed an expression of disbelief, and asked, "Really?"

Princess Duanhui laughed and said, "Of course it's true."

The court doctor also smiled and said, "I dare not lie. If you don't believe me, you can ask a few more doctors to take a look."

Bai Qiuze had already stood up excitedly when the court doctor said that Bai Zhiyuan was pregnant. When he heard that Bai Zhiyuan didn't believe it, he immediately said, "Don't worry, sister. The court doctor has been in the army for so many years, so he won't make a wrong diagnosis. But this is a big event, so I'll go and invite a few more doctors to check your body one by one."

After saying this, he ran away without waiting for Princess Duanhui and Bai Zhiyuan to speak.

Bai Zhiyuan, on the other hand, was still in a daze, as if he was in the clouds.

Princess Duanhui was already holding Bai Zhiyuan's hand, the joy on her face was beyond words.

Su Qingxue, who was standing by, was very happy to see Bai Zhiyuan so confused. She said with a smile, "It's rare to see Ayuan being so reckless."

Bai Qiuze quickly invited several doctors to come and check Bai Zhiyuan's pulse one by one. The results were all the same: Bai Zhiyuan was indeed more than a month pregnant.

Bai Zhiyuan gradually came back to his senses, reached out and touched his still flat belly, and asked, "Mom, do you think there is really a little life in here?"

Princess Duanhui touched Bai Zhiyuan's head and smiled gently, "Of course, Ayuan, you are going to be a mother."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled slightly and subconsciously touched his lower abdomen again. He felt it was magical to think that there was a little life in his body that was one with him.

In her previous life, she had never been pregnant, and she had even injured her body when she saved Qi Zeyi, making it difficult for her to get pregnant again. At that time, Qi Zeyi said, "Ayuan, it's okay. If you like children, we can adopt one."

I foolishly believed this at first, and since I didn't have too much obsession with the child, I didn't feel that sad.

In this life, she is pregnant with a new life, her and Xie Yunsong's child. She doesn't know if it is a boy or a girl, or who he looks like. If Xie Yunsong knew about this, what would his expression be, surprise or shock? Or would he be at a loss like her?

Thinking of this, Bai Zhiyuan was actually eager to go back and tell Xie Yunsong that she was pregnant.

She said, "Mother, you and sister-in-law go buy some things today. I'm going back first."

Princess Duanhui immediately said nervously, "Yes, yes, you just need to take care of yourself now. You don't need to worry about your brother's marriage. Go back quickly and ask the driver to drive slower."

"No!" She said worriedly, "Qiu'er, you have to send Ayuan back yourself. I'm worried."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It's okay, mother. I can do it myself."

Bai Qiuze agreed: "Okay, don't worry, mother."

"Ayuan, let's go. I'll take you there."

Bai Zhiyuan shook his head and chuckled, no longer refusing, and said, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, brother."

Bai Qiuze personally drove Bai Zhiyuan to the gate of Xie Mansion, and Butler Lin hurried out to greet him.

Bai Zhiyuan said goodbye to Bai Qiuze, and strode into the gate impatiently. Ling Xiao was so scared that he hurried forward to support her.

Steward Lin was confused and looked at Bai Qiuze with doubt.

Bai Qiuze smiled and said a few words to Steward Lin, then turned and left.

What did Steward Lin hear, standing in the hallway with tears streaming down his face? Their Xie Mansion was going to have a young master. Steward Lin was so excited that he could not express it in words when he thought that the Xie Mansion would soon be bustling.
