Chapter 463 The Child Is Not Yours Alone
Nan Xi hummed: "That's good."
Zhanruo was silent for a moment and whispered: "I want to have dinner with Your Majesty."
"Okay." Nan Xi smiled lightly and called Yin Yue in, "Go and prepare breakfast."
"yes."
"It's time for Rong Yu to come back." Nan Xi said, "We just happened to be together."
Zhanruo frowned: "I don't want to see him."
"I'm afraid that won't work." Nan Xi chuckled, "As long as you stay in this palace, you can't avoid seeing him."
Zhan Ruo pouted: "Can't we send him out for a few days?"
Nan Xi held her chin, her voice gentle and smiling: "I can't bear to let him go."
Zhan Ruo was silent, speechless for a moment.
Ajie seems to be able to express her feelings more directly than in her previous life. Well, she has indeed learned from that guy Rong Yu and is not reserved at all.
"Zhan Ruo." Nan Xi frowned, "Can Xie Jin's fate be changed?"
The legitimate son of Xie Shoufu, noble and handsome, but childless in his life?
Zhan Ruo said: "I haven't calculated it carefully. If Your Majesty cares about his fate, let me rest for a few days to recuperate my energy, and then I can do a good calculation for him."
Nan Xi hummed: "Just do your best, don't worry too much."
Zhanruo nodded.
When Yinyue led the palace servants to prepare breakfast, Rong Yu happened to come back from the court, followed by Xuanyuan Hua and Xuanyuan Chen.
After entering the palace, the two of them saluted Nan Xi.
Nan Xi took a closer look and found that she had not seen these two young men for several days since they came to work with Rong Yu as his attendants, because they were arranged by Rong Yu to work in the study most of the time and would not follow him anytime and anywhere. beside.
Today, the two of them were wearing the same dark blue robes, which made their handsome features look a little more calm and reserved, and they looked obviously different from before.
"No gifts." Nan Xi smiled lightly, "Breakfast is ready. You two can stay and eat it together."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xuanyuan Chen said respectfully, "I just have to go back to my hometown today. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Xuanyuan Hua said: "I will go with him to Prince Wei's Mansion to visit Aunt Qiao."
Nan Xi understood and turned around to tell Nanny Xu: "Go and pick out some supplements suitable for women and ask them to take them back to replenish Concubine Qiao's health."
"yes."
The two teenagers thanked them and quickly left.
Nan Xi walked over and looked at Rong Yu's expression up and down, "I'm going to discuss things this morning. No one is messing with you."
"Yes." Rong Yu put his arm around her shoulders and complained as if no one else was watching, "Those righteous men who are afraid of the world being in chaos are clamoring for you to take concubines, and they want to put their sons into the harem right away. I let you People look for a few reliable matchmakers to see who still needs a match, and match them all, so that they don’t have to worry about things they shouldn’t.”
Nan Xi raised her eyebrows: "You didn't lose your temper?"
"No." Rong Yu acted obediently, "Little fish and shrimp are not worth getting angry at."
After the words fell, a sneer came from not far away: "He is obviously a ruthless jackal, but he has to wear sheep's clothing and pretend to be a docile little sheep, so he is not embarrassed."
Rong Yu turned his head and said in a calm voice: "Why are you still here?"
"I like it." Zhan Ruo snorted, "I can stay wherever I like. Do you care?"
Rong Yu looked away and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
The palace attendants brought him warm water to clean his hands. Nan Xi took the handkerchief and wiped his hands dry, as virtuous as a good wife and mother at home.
Zhan Ruo sat aside and looked at it with sore eyes. He couldn't help but get up and said, "Forget it, I'd better go out and find something to eat by myself."
Nan Xi smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
"I have a bad stomach and am afraid of acidity." Zhan Ruo said and walked out. "I will walk around the imperial city these two days and go to the priest's hall to talk to the high priest. Your Majesty doesn't need to pay attention to me."
Nan Xi watched him leave and frowned: "Feng Feng Huo Huo is indeed a child."
"Ignore him." Rong Yu held her in his arms and sat together at the dining table. "Su Shang also asked to say goodbye this morning. I agreed and asked someone to send him and Duan Muyu out of the city."
"Zhan Ruo said that Su Chang's life will not last long." Nan Xi said in a calm tone, "Is it because of the news that was passed to me before?"
If the Emperor of South Vietnam knew that Su Chang was actually his father's illegitimate son - no matter whether the news was true or false, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to tolerate Su Chang.
"Yes." Rong Yu nodded, "Once the king's suspicion arises, Su Chang's death will indeed be imminent."
Nan Xi smiled lightly and said nothing more: "How about Xuanyuan Chen and Xuanyuan Hua?"
Rong Yu likes this kind of atmosphere of chatting while eating, especially when it's just the two of them and there are no other people to disturb them.
"Not bad." He replied while serving her dishes, "Both of them have no problem with their knowledge. They are used to being cautious and not very courageous. They have their own opinions but dare not say anything."
"They are afraid of you, and they are even more afraid of making too many mistakes and getting into trouble." Nan Xi said, "But it is normal. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. Since ancient times, it has been difficult to do errands around the emperor, not to mention that their status is more special than ordinary ones. The young master is a bit shorter, so it’s normal to be cautious and speak less.”
Rong Yu wanted to say that he was not an emperor, let alone a tiger.
But what Nan Xi said makes sense.
It doesn't matter whether he is the emperor or not, the most important thing is that he holds the power of life and death in his hands, which makes people have to be afraid. The identities of Xuanyuan Chen and Xuanyuan Hua have indeed made them accustomed to being cautious in their words and deeds. Naturally, they have to be even more careful when entering the palace.
Rong Yu didn't dwell on these trivial matters and concentrated on feeding his wife.
"It's sunny outside today," he said. "You can go out for a walk at noon."
Nan Xi smiled calmly: "I've gotten used to staying in the palace these two days, and I feel a lot lazier."
"It will be fine after the baby is born." Rong Yu said, his voice lowered, "Thank you for your hard work."
Nan Xi raised her eyebrows: "Why is it hard? The baby in your belly is not yours alone, and you still have to call me mother."
Rong Yu's eyebrows softened unconsciously when he heard this.
Well, this is their common blood heritage and the proof of their love in this life.
Although it will inevitably take up too much of her time and energy in the future, thinking of the responsibilities she will inherit after he is born, Rong Yu feels that everything is tolerable.
The days after the first month of the year are getting warmer day by day, and Nan Xi's belly is getting bigger.
As the due date is approaching, Rong Yu has arranged eight experienced midwives, four female doctors with superb medical skills, four young wet nurses and experienced and reliable maids in the palace to be on call around the clock.
As the weather warmed up, Nan Xi occasionally went to the morning court, but most of the time Rong Yu was in charge of all government affairs. The court officials knew that the empress was about to give birth, so they did not raise any objections to this matter. In order to make the regent feel good, they even stopped mentioning the matter of choosing a husband.
Everything went smoothly, like spring, with clear water and peaceful seas.
