Yan Yu and the maidservant beside her were all surprised.

If he gets slapped today, I’m afraid that tomorrow the streets will be filled with gossip that the Fifth Prince beats his wife.

On the way back, Ning Xia served tea to Yan Yu and said, "Fortunately, the Fifth Prince broke the engagement, otherwise..."

Ningxia looked at her young lady's figure. Yan Yu had been thin since childhood and had a particularly bad temper. If she married a husband who beat people, she would probably be angered to death before she could beat him to death.

These maids all follow their masters and do whatever their masters do.

Yan Yu was scolded and beaten by her brother-in-law, and the maids could not escape the bad fate.

Yan Yu just ate two extra pieces of cake and now feels a little sleepy.

Ningxia made similar exclamations more than once or twice, but Yan Yu didn't take it seriously and dozed off with his eyes closed.

After returning home, Yan Yu ate something, drank a cup of sweet soup and went to sleep.

She had just laid down for a quarter of an hour when Xiao Chengji came back from outside.

He heard from the maid that the princess fell asleep after eating, and thought that Yan Yu had been sleeping too much in recent days, and might have indigestion if she ate too much, so he woke her up and talked to her.

Yan Yu was a little angry and turned his back and ignored him.

Xiao Chengji turned her around: "I brought you something good."

Yan Yu thought that the things he brought were nothing more than some jewelry or antiques or something, and he was tired of looking at them, so he wanted to turn over and continue sleeping.

Xiao Chengji said: "It's delicious, get up and eat some, I will go out for a walk with you."

Yan Yu really wanted to eat something else, so he got up and took a look.

When Xiao Chengji was at the Sixth Prince's residence, he saw that the pastries made by the chefs there were quite good, so he asked them to make a box for him to bring over.

Yan Yu opened the food box and took a look. Several of the snacks were beautifully made, cut into peony-like shapes, painted in rouge colors, and with fillings wrapped in skins as thin as a cicada's wing.

Yan Yu took a bite with anticipation, then his face changed slightly. He forced himself to suppress it and washed it down with a sip of tea.

"..."

Xiao Chengji: "Not tasty?"

Yan Yu was stunned: "Why is it salty?"

It looked so good that she thought it was made of glutinous rice flour and fresh flower sauce, but it turned out to be meat filling.

"They are all salty." Xiao Chengji said, "The sweet ones are not delicious, not as good as the ones in our house."

He brought some with crab roe filling, some with chicken breast and duck breast filling, and some with ham filling.

Xiao Chengji said: "Try other flavors, they are delicious."

Yan Yu took another bite and swallowed it with difficulty, but his stomach felt very uncomfortable and he had to force himself not to vomit.

"It smells like meat." Yan Yu rinsed his mouth with tea, then took a piece of rose candy and ate it. "I don't want to eat anymore. I'm going to sleep."

Xiao Chengji pinched her face and said, "It's good enough to have something to eat, but you're still picky."

Having said that, the food and drinks here at Yan Yu's place have always been carefully selected and are more exquisite than anywhere else.

Xiao Chengji asked someone to take all these things away, but suddenly he remembered that Yan Yu had been picky about the food.

She is not healthy to begin with, and if she is only picky about what she likes to eat, her health will get worse and worse.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chengji asked someone to call over the imperial physician who had previously prescribed a tonic for Yan Yu.

The imperial physician was a little confused.

After asking the maidservant who followed Yan Yu, the imperial physician said, "The princess has been eating normally recently. Apart from these pastries, she can eat food and her appetite is better than before. Perhaps the princess hates salty snacks and doesn't eat them."

The imperial physician thought it was normal.

There are always things that people don't like to eat, right? How can you like to eat everything you see?

After hearing what the imperial physician said, Xiao Chengji said nothing.

Now that the person is here, let him go and check Yan Yu's pulse.

Yan Yu was still sleeping and was woken up by Xiao Chengji again.

Being woken up again and again, she was very unhappy and glared at Xiao Chengji.

Seeing her cheeks puffed up slightly and her mouth pouting, Xiao Chengji looked very cute. He couldn't help but raise his hand to pinch her face: "Let the imperial physician take your pulse."

Yan Yu pushed up the beads on her wrist and asked the imperial physician to come over and take her pulse.

Her hair was tied up loosely, the pearl flowers on her temples were slightly tilted, and she looked very tired.

The imperial physician felt Yan Yu's pulse through the handkerchief. After a moment, he asked the prince if he could remove the handkerchief.

Xiao Chengji always felt that everyone in the world wanted to snatch him away. He usually didn't like Yan Yu going out, and he didn't like Yan Yu talking to anyone except him. He wished he could wear a gold lock around Yan Yu's neck with his name written on it.

But before he nodded, Yan Yu had already taken off the handkerchief, and Xiao Chengji didn't know what to say.

He glanced at the imperial physician, who was already an old man with half his legs buried in the ground. He was no match for him at all.

The imperial physician felt the patient's pulse again, then stood up and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. The princess is pregnant."

Xiao Chengji: "Are you pregnant?"

The imperial physician said, "Your Highness is already one and a half months pregnant."

Yan Yu stood up: "Really?"

If there wasn't solid evidence, the imperial physician would never dare to make such a statement.

The imperial physician prescribed some prescriptions for nourishing the pregnancy. Yan Yu was so happy that she didn't know what to do. She asked her maid to reward him with a lot of silver and sent the imperial physician back.

When she went to bed at night, Yan Yu felt very satisfied when she thought about the baby in her belly.

She touched her belly, but she couldn't feel anything yet, not even an outline. If the imperial physician hadn't said she was pregnant, Yan Yu would probably not be able to see anything in a month or two.

Xiao Chengji noticed that Yan Yu hadn't slept yet. He held Yan Yu's shoulders and asked, "You sleep in during the day and make a fuss at night?"

Yan Yu blinked and said nothing.

Xiao Chengji found it funny: "Why? Are you so happy that you can't sleep?"

Yan Yu put her face against his chest and raised her eyes slightly to look at him: "I have a baby for Your Highness, isn't Your Highness happy?"

Xiao Chengji said "hmm".

Although he still felt that it was better for him and Yan Yu to be together, and didn't want to have another burden, Yan Yu was so looking forward to the arrival of a child, so he didn't want to say anything to spoil her fun.

Perhaps Yan Yu has been too lonely these years and has never felt safe. Only after having a child will he feel warmer and this palace will be more like a home.

Xiao Chengji pressed Yan Yu against his chest and said, "Go to sleep."

Yan Yu wanted to talk to him for a while longer and looked at him eagerly.

"Don't talk about the child for now." Before the fetus was stable, Xiao Chengji was too worried that something might happen to Yan Yu. The Queen Mother had been using various tricks. "When you can't hide it anymore, tell me. During this period, I will always protect you."
