"You'd better discuss Xuanhua's marriage with her. You know Xuanhua's personality." The Queen Mother said in a deep voice. In the end, it would be best if Xuanhua liked the one herself.

"I will discuss it with Xuanhua when I have time." Xiao Xuanchen knew that his mother had agreed, so it would be easy.

"As for Xuanhua's marriage, I don't have any requirements. I just hope that Xuanhua can live a healthy life." The Queen Mother said earnestly. She only has this one daughter, so naturally she hopes that she can have a smooth life and be wealthy and worry-free.

"Don't worry, mother. I won't treat Xuanhua unfairly." Xiao Xuanchen assured repeatedly.

"Then I will go back to the Purple Palace first." Xiao Xuanchen stood up, bowed and left Shoukang Palace.

After he left, the Queen Mother always felt inexplicably uneasy. She wanted Xuanhua to marry Helian Cheng. Was this marriage a blessing or a curse?

Seeing the Queen Mother's unhappy face, Nanny Yu asked, "What is the Queen Mother worried about? I heard that General Weiyuan's eldest son is indeed as Your Majesty said, a man of both civil and military talents, and a handsome man. This marriage is not a bad thing for the princess."

The Queen Mother asked, "Do you think the son of General Weiyuan would be a good match?"

"Princess Xuanhua is your majesty's only biological sister. Your majesty will never harm the princess." Nanny Yu said.

"I hope so!" the Queen Mother whispered.

Soon after, it was New Year's Eve.

Zheng Xiyan accompanied Xiao Xuanchen to the event. Her body was getting heavier and heavier. She was nearly eight months pregnant and it was becoming increasingly inconvenient for her to move.

Zheng Xiyan stayed for less than two quarters of an hour before she said to Xiao Xuanchen, "Your Majesty, I am a little tired, so I will return to the palace first."

"Okay! Escort the queen back to the palace." Xiao Xuanchen instructed Biluo, Shuangning and others beside Zheng Xiyan.

"Yes."

The Queen Mother also turned her head and warned: "Be careful, the ground is slippery."

"Yes!"

"I'll take my leave." Zheng Xiyan gave a slight half bow.

Murong Yue, who was sitting below, had begun to show her belly, but it was not very obvious. She was now nearly four months pregnant.

Seeing how His Majesty and the Queen Mother were caring about the Queen, and then looking at myself, I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. From the time His Majesty came in until now, he hasn't even glanced at me.

Zheng Xiyan left Yaoguang Palace and got into the sedan chair. Biluo said, "Get up! Everyone, be careful."

"Yes!"

When they arrived at the Weiyang Palace, Biluo helped Zheng Xiyan to sleep. When she looked at herself in the mirror, she found that her face had become a lot fatter.

"I am not happy even when I look at myself now." Zheng Xiyan curled her lips. Women all love beauty. She is indeed a little fatter now, and her whole body looks much rounder.

"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? Your belly just looks a little bigger, but nothing else has changed." Shuang Ning coaxed.

"How is it possible that there has been no change at all? A woman will naturally gain weight after being pregnant for ten months. But as long as the baby is healthy and safe, none of this matters." Thinking of this, the worried look on Zheng Xiyan's face disappeared, and she lowered her head and stroked her belly with a smile on her face.

"After your majesty successfully gives birth to the prince and recovers, she will surely be the same as before."

"You're right." When Zheng Xiyan said this, her whole body exuded a maternal glow.

After Biluo and Shuangning removed her makeup, they helped her towards the bed. After Zheng Xiyan lay down, the two covered her with a quilt and then left.

When the palace banquet was over, the concubines in each palace were waiting for His Majesty to flip the cards to see who His Majesty would summon tonight.

However, Xiao Xuanchen did not summon his concubines. After leaving Yaoguang Palace, he ordered, "Go to Weiyang Palace."

Tonight is New Year's Eve, and according to the rules, Xiao Xuanchen has to go to Weiyang Palace to accompany the Queen.

The concubines from various palaces left Weiyang Palace one after another. Murong Yue got on the sedan chair. She had just imagined that His Majesty would go to Jinhua Palace tonight. She said with a little self-mockery: "You! You really think too much."

Xiao Xuanchen arrived at the Weiyang Palace and walked into the bedroom. Zheng Xiyan had already fallen asleep and was sleeping soundly.

Xiao Xuanchen moved very gently as he walked to the bed, then got on the bed and lay down beside her.

When Zheng Xiyan woke up the next day, she opened her eyes in a daze and saw Xiao Xuanchen's face. It was so unlucky so early in the morning!

When Zheng Xiyan woke up, Xiao Xuanchen also woke up and said in a very magnetic voice, "Awake."

Zheng Xiyan closed her eyes and asked, "When did Your Majesty come last night?"

"I came here after the palace banquet." Xiao Xuanchen looked at her lovingly.

Zheng Xiyan slept too deeply last night and didn't notice him coming at all. She didn't care whether he would come or not. It didn't matter whether he came or not.

Xiao Xuanchen rubbed against her. Zheng Xiyan felt disgusted but couldn't show it.

"Yan'er, when will our child be born?" Xiao Xuanchen said in a low voice.

"Less than two months." Zheng Xiyan answered calmly.

Xiao Xuanchen's expression suddenly froze, and he asked in a deep voice, "Did the imperial physician say whether it was a prince or a princess?"

Zheng Xiyan naturally did not tell him the truth, and instead threw the question to him, "The imperial physician's words may not be accurate. Both princes and princesses are good, and I like both. What about your majesty? Do you hope that I am pregnant with a prince or a princess?"

Xiao Xuanchen paused. He hoped it would be a princess, but he said, "Of course a prince would be better. If you give birth to the eldest son, he will be the future crown prince."

Zheng Xiyan found it ridiculous. He was still telling lies and his acting skills were as good as ever. It was just a pity that she was too stupid in her previous life and could not even see through such an obvious lie.

"If I give birth to a prince, Your Majesty will you make him the crown prince?" Zheng Xiyan curled the corners of her mouth and looked at him without blinking.

Xiao Xuanchen avoided her gaze and said unnaturally, "Of course, he is my eldest son. Our dynasty has always established the eldest son as the crown prince. Naturally, I will establish our son as the crown prince."

"Then I would like to thank Your Majesty." Zheng Xiyan showed a sarcastic sneer on her face when he was not paying attention.

These days, Xiao Xuanchen has been hoping that this baby must be a princess. He stroked her belly gently and prayed in his heart.

Suddenly, he felt as if something kicked him. The next second, Zheng Xiyan held his hand and said, "Your Majesty, did you feel it? He is kicking Your Majesty."

Xiao Xuanchen's eyes lit up, his expression was one of surprise and joy, "He kicked me? He kicked me so hard, he must be a healthy prince."

"Your Majesty said it is a prince, so it must be a prince." Zheng Xiyan showed an ambiguous smile at the corner of her mouth and looked straight at him.

Xiao Xuanchen then lay on her belly and listened carefully. This was a shock he had never experienced before. This was his first child, and being a father for the first time was always different. He had some expectations in his mind.
