Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Concubine Jin seemed happier than anyone else. She stood up and laughed heartily, even looking at Anan a little nervously. She repeatedly ordered the female officials around her to find soft cushions and sent someone to fetch the best ginseng to make tea.

Because of this good news, Concubine Jin's bedroom became lively. Even the maids who had always been expressionless showed rare smiles and were busy running around. Anan's anxiety was also diluted a little by this news, but he did not dare to relax completely. After dinner, he hurried out of the palace.

Bai Shao sent someone to inform the Yuan family and Hongze, who was away on business, of the news as soon as possible.

The Yuan family came and insisted on taking Anan back home to raise him. Uncle Da was so anxious that he turned around in circles, his face flushed, and he couldn't say a word.

Perhaps Hongze went too far away, and there was no news for a while.

Anan just wanted to stay at home and wait for him to come back, so she didn't listen to Nanny Su's advice and went home. This made Yuan Ruolan very anxious. She hurried over from home with her people, accompanied by her two aunts and Yuan Yi's newlywed Jinxuan, who surrounded her. The doctor who accompanied them took her pulse several times. Yuan Ruolan finally took her own pulse and was barely satisfied.

Anan was stubborn and didn't want to go home with them. Yuan Ruolan had no way to deal with her, but was really worried, so she simply stayed in Hong's house and took care of her food and daily life herself.

Yuan Ruolan and Anan were equally stubborn. Anan couldn't bear to see his mother working so hard, but he couldn't refuse, so he let her go.

Half a month passed, and there was still no news from Hongze. Anan began to worry. On normal days, even if nothing happened, he would ask Bian or Jiuling to come and report that he was safe. But now that the good news of pregnancy had been spread, there was still no news from him.

Anan's worries grew more and more. He sent people to the Shenji Camp many times, but all he got was that Hongze had not returned since he left the capital that day, and he had not received any news. He went to find Jinyun, who was also confused. He said that Hongze had gone out on business and had not even said goodbye to him on the day he left. However, he felt something was wrong, so he used his convenience in walking around the palace to help inquire around.

I don’t know if someone passed the news to Huaizhu, but a few days later, Huaizhu sent someone to call Anan into the palace.

Since she became pregnant, Concubine Jin rarely allowed Anan to enter the palace, but she often prepared some exquisite snacks and asked the female officials around her to deliver them personally. Anan was a little resistant when she received Huaizhu's order. The first thing she thought of was the bloody scene she saw in the palace that day, but thinking that Huaizhu might have news about Hongze, she put aside all her worries and hurried into the palace.

After Anan entered the palace, he was taken by the female official directly to Huaizhu's bedroom.

The Crown Prince is still young, but still lives in the East Palace, with a group of palace maids, and is raised with gold and jade. Huaizhu lost her husband before giving birth, so she is even more favored by the current emperor, who is generous with precious things. So today, when she saw her, her face was as smooth as jade, and she was even more plump than when she was a girl in Xianyuntai. When she saw Anan, she took the initiative to come forward, smiled and held her hand, her eyes lingering on her slightly bulging belly, and said with a smile: "I haven't been feeling well these days, and the people around me don't have a good eye, and they didn't tell me about Yunyu! I just heard about it today, so I summoned you to the palace to talk."

As she spoke, she pulled Anan to sit down, took the tea handed to her by the lady-in-waiting, and placed it next to Anan's hand. She asked worriedly, "I heard that you have been looking for him for quite a while. How is it going? Any news?"
