The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

When Qin Yi came back, Chu Jinyao was wearing a soft yellow skirt, sitting under the lamp and flipping through a book.

Qin Yi frowned subconsciously when he saw it: "Why did you get down?"

Chu Jinyao heard the sound and immediately closed the book and walked towards Qin Yi. She walked a few steps quickly on the way, and was almost immediately supported by Qin Yi in fright: "You are pregnant now, don't move."

"How can this be called chaos?" Chu Jinyao helplessly, "I am not made of porcelain, but I am walking normally."

But Qin Yi persisted and carefully put Chu Jinyao back on the soft couch. In his eyes, Chu Jinyao is now an extremely delicate porcelain, and anything in the palace may hurt her.

After walking outside, Qin Yi’s clothes were already wet by the rain, and Chu Jinyao immediately asked Qin Yi to take clean clothes out. If it was usual, Chu Jinyao would always change for Qin Yi herself, but now no one dares to let Chu Jinyao do this, she can only sigh and wait outside. After Qin Yi changed his clothes, the two sat on the soft couch together.

It was cold and rainy outside, but inside the house separated by a window was warm like a bean. It is said that looking at beautiful women under the lamp, Chu Jinyao has snow-skinned hair and bright eyebrows. She is wearing light yellow clothes today, and her whole body is almost glowing under the halo of candlelight. The beauty in front of him was within reach, and Qin Yi finally had a sense of realism. He couldn't help but look at Chu Jinyao's abdomen, where it was still flat as before, and there was no small life gestating at all. But in another eight months, a brand new life that belongs only to the two of them will come to this world.

As early as when Qin Yi got married, courtiers mentioned his heirs without shy. Many people even urged him explicitly or secretly. At that time, Qin Yi didn’t feel anything. In his opinion, this It's no different from asking him to go to the Wenhua Palace to listen to politics, but it's just another responsibility. But when this day really came, Qin Yi realized that the two were completely different. This was a feeling he hadn't experienced before, as if a string deep in his heart was gently plucked by someone, and his every move has a different meaning since then.

Chu Xinyao found that since Qin Yi sat down, her eyes were looking at her lower abdomen, but Qin Yi just looked at it, and did not touch it. Chu Jinyao sighed silently, he could not help but imagine that pregnancy was too fragile.

"Did he trouble you today?" Qin Yi asked. He had vaguely heard that a woman was very uncomfortable when she became pregnant, and she seemed to have morning sickness?

"No." Chu Jinyao laughed. "It's only been more than a month, and I can't feel anything."

But Qin Yi didn't know what he thought of, and his expression slowly became serious: "Everything must be prevented before it happens. Tomorrow I will ask them to transfer some experienced servants over, and the midwife will immediately find the best one."

Chu Jinyao was helpless: "I've only been a month, so you look for a midwife?"

"Prepare first, it won't get in the way anyway." The prince who was born to be a leader in everything didn't think it was anything. Chu Jinyao really couldn't say that he could only let him go.

Qin Yi thought of what happened during the day, a dark light flashed in his eyes. He was indifferent, as if saying something unusual: "From tomorrow on, you can raise your fetus with peace of mind, and you don't have to go to the queen to ask for peace."

Chu Jinyao was slightly startled. When she heard that Qin Yi went out, she had a vague guess in her heart. Now it seems that Qin Yi really went to see Xiao Qi.

The fetal condition in the first three months of pregnancy is unstable, and miscarriage is the easiest. After Chu Jinyao learned that she was pregnant, she was afraid of what happened during the day. She stood in the kitchen where there are knives all over the place for so long, and after that she was still blowing cold wind at the air outlet. Only this time, if things go on like this, if Xiao Qi deliberately tossed in the name of filial piety every day after tomorrow, then her child would be in danger.

You don't have to go to Xiaoqi, please feel at ease. It is the best situation to stay in your own palace and raise a baby. However, if you don't ask your mother-in-law when you are pregnant, you will inevitably be said to be arrogant. If Chu Jinyao is just an ordinary woman, she won't have to fight for fame, but she is also the prince.

"His Royal Highness..."

"It's okay." Qin Yi stopped what Chu Jinyao wanted to say, "you just need to raise your baby with peace of mind. I'm the one outside."

With the character of Empress Xiaoqi, once she knows that Chu Jinyao is pregnant, she can't change the law to toss her, expecting Empress Xiaoqi's conscience to discover that it is better to expect the sun to come out to the west. But Xiao Qi finally agreed to this request, obviously Qin Yi just went out and did something. Chu Jinyao's heart was complicated and unspeakable. The emperor had just become wary of Qin Yi. At this sensitive juncture, we really shouldn't do these outrageous things. Chu Jinyao sighed inwardly, and she passed the delicate case table with her bare hand, and tightly grasped Qin Yi's arm: "His Royal Highness, you will definitely be a good father in the future."

Qin Yi heard a laugh and asked, "Why?"

"There is no reason, just intuition." Chu Jinyao thought of the future children, the light in her eyes became softer, "Your Highness, do you like boys or girls?"

Qin Yi said: "All are good."

He really feels that both men and women are good. He has lost his mother since he was five years old. As for the father who has and did not have it, it is no different. Watching a child grow up from the beginning is a very novel experience for Qin Yi. He couldn't help thinking that if it were a boy, he would have taught him military strategies, riding and shooting martial arts since childhood. If it was a girl... if it was a girl, his little princess must be the same as Chu Jinyao. Qin Yi thought of a reduced version of Chu Jinyao and couldn't help smiling.

Chu Jinyao took the Book of Songs and Chu Ci, and was enthusiastically looking for names with good meanings. Qin Yi actually knew that this was the first child of a grandchild in the royal family. If it was a princess, it would be okay, if it was a boy, his name must be the top priority of the clan mansion and the cabinet. The naming committee was not practical for both of them to worry about. But even so, Qin Yi did not disturb Chu Jinyao's interest in turning over the book, he even sat on the side to advise Chu Jinyao. You know, this was completely useless in his eyes in the past.

This is probably the feeling of being a parent.

It is not a secret that the crown princess fainted in the queen palace, but it was so, the next day Chu Jinyao did not go to ask for peace, and everyone in the harem was surprised.

If it's just ordinary tired and dizzy, it shouldn't be too difficult to come to greet the mother-in-law, which daughter-in-law dares to take Joe like this. Suddenly, young women cannot go out behind closed doors, often with only one explanation.

Is the crown princess pregnant?

This speculation was like a muffled thunder in a clear sky, and everyone suddenly discovered that there were many clues to prove this. Especially on the third day when the princess did not leave the door behind closed doors, the family members of the Changxing Houfu family all went to the east palace to visit the princess.

The female family members of the Changxing Houfu were led to the Xici Room. As soon as Mrs. Chu sat down, she hurriedly lowered her voice and asked, "Prince Concubine, do you have one?"

Chu Jinyao nodded lightly, and the speculation that had been read all night was confirmed. Mrs. Chu covered her heart, and her joyful heart missed several beats at the moment.

In the first three months of pregnancy, because of the unstable fetal condition and the fear of losing the child's blessings, those who are happy will not publicize it, but the family that has good ties can more or less guess it. Mrs. Chu was longing for Chu Jinyao to become pregnant. Yesterday, she suddenly received a letter from the prince, asking them to enter the palace to accompany the princess in the past few days. Mrs. Chu and Chang Xinghou discussed all night, and both felt that the prince was like this. It was abnormal, and the princess even stopped asking for peace. Most of the abnormalities were that the princess was pregnant.

Now Mrs. Chu heard that Chu Jinyao personally confirmed it, and she was so happy that she chanted several Buddhas: "Amitabha, really bodhisattva bless you. Xian'er just gave birth to a brother, and now the prince is also pregnant, thank you Bodhisattva for blessing, etc. After returning to Beijing, the old man went to pay his vows."

The other female family members of the Hou Mansion were all overjoyed when they heard it. The five girls married so well that the entire family, Changxing Hou Mansion, became a first-class powerhouse. Because of Chu Jinyao, the marriages of a few girls from the Chu family who had not yet come out of the pavilion directly turned over several classes. Although the top girls married early, they were still very confident in their husband's house. Chu Jinyao’s compatriots and sisters are even more remarkable. I didn’t see that the Zhao family was very close to Chu Jinxian. They helped her mother-in-law at a young age, and Duan Yinghua, the princess's serious sister-in-law, became more and more unnecessary. They all envied her for a good marriage. Therefore, the Chu family sincerely hoped that Chu Jinyao would be good. The old lady of Chu secretly asked for a lot of symbols, and Avalokitesvara Buddha Tathagata asked for it again, hoping that Chu Jinyao would give birth to the blood of the Donggong as soon as possible, even if it is a county. The Lord is good.

Now that dreams come true, the people in Changxing Houfu are happier than Chu Jinyao.

Mrs. Chu asked about some months, recent food and other things, and then told Chu Jinyao about things to pay attention to during pregnancy. These things Chu Jinyao has heard many people say many times, but now Chu Jinyao is still listening carefully, and secretly writes down the newly added points by Mrs. Chu.

In fact, Mrs. Chu may not be really worried about Chu Jinyao, but the family and interests are entangled. There is no need to distinguish between what is sincere and what is because of common interests. Chu Jinyao didn't grow up in front of Mrs. Chu, and she didn't have much affection for Mrs. Chu's grandparents, so she was bound by interest and not mixed with emotions, but it was agile.

Old Madam Chu asked for a while, and then vaguely mentioned another point: "Prince Concubine, you are like Xian'er, both of you have a cold body. The first three months of you are harder than others, but you must pay attention to your diet and not eat cold. The cold thing can't be bumped into the stomach."

Chu Jinyao immediately understood what Mrs. Chu was reminding. The situation in the harem is complicated. Both King Su and King Lu have grown up. Concubine Shu and Empress Xiaoqi are not fuel-efficient lamps either. Powerful enemies are waiting, even if the prince is firmly rooted now, he cannot be taken lightly, and the child in her stomach is especially the target of public criticism.

Pity a little prince who is not threatening can be miscarried by others, let alone her son from the East Palace, the first child of the royal grandchildren. It would be even worse if it was a boy, the eldest grandson.

Orthodox literati still support etiquette, if Qin Yi had the eldest son, then the balance of the East Palace can add another important bargaining chip.

Therefore, Chu Jinyao's birth is really thrilling, with dangers and benefits coexisting. Compared with the risks she was about to face, the ones that Lian had experienced can only be regarded as a trifle.

Chu Jinyao nodded solemnly. The position of the prince princess gave her endless glory and status, but it was accompanied by the cruelest feud in the world. After enjoying the glory, she would bear the danger.

Seeing that Chu Jinyao was not panicked, Mrs. Chu was slightly surprised, and then laughed at herself. It seemed that she was worrying too much. Now that Chu Jinyao is better at these intrigues and gloomy palaces, I am afraid that Chu Jinyao is better than her old lady. . Sure enough, the environment can make people grow. Looking at this beautiful and elegant princess, who can believe that she is the same person as the thin and thin girl three years ago?

Mrs. Chu was full of emotions, and Zhao asked: "Then you don't want to please the queen, this..."

In recent years, the situation has been tense, and all the courtiers have been trying to figure out the movements of the palace in private, and the actions of Qin Yi and Chu Jinyao have been endlessly amplified by everyone. Chu Jinyao only took a rest for two days, and the news that she didn't go to please the queen had spread both inside and outside.

Chu Jinyao said: "His Royal Highness has already mentioned this matter to the emperor, and the emperor is also very happy, and he asked me to raise my baby with peace of mind. Other things are fine for the time being."

Chu Jinyao's pregnancy cannot be publicized, but the emperor cannot be bypassed. There was Qin Yi from the emperor who said that after the emperor heard it, he knew that Chu Jinyao fainted last time because it was pregnant.

This... The queen tried to grind his daughter-in-law, and even fainted the pregnant princess. The emperor also found it too ugly, so he acquiesced to Qin Yi's practice. Before the child was born, Chu Jinyao didn't have to go to Xiaoqi. Please be safe afterwards.

Even the emperor is not on her side. What can Empress Xiaoqi do? She simply stepped forward to be a good person by herself, saving Chu Jinyao a daily greeting. But in private, what exactly is Xiaoqi empress' mood is unknown.

It turned out that the emperor had also agreed, and everyone in the Chu family looked at each other, and they knew it in their hearts. Mrs. Chu lamented that she was worried that Chu Jinyao would not be favored before she got married. Chu Jinyao even threatened Mrs. Chu with deceiving the Lord, but who would know that Chu Jinyao really got it right. Duan Yinghua glanced at Chu Jinyao, lowered her head to hide her bitterness.

The relationship between Duan Yinghua and the second young master is not bad, but in the past few days, Duan Yinghua has discovered some unfavorable clues. Duan Yinghua had the intention to file a complaint with her sister-in-law, but today the elders are there, Duan Yinghua really can't find a chance to speak, and she can't tell.

Duan Yinghua didn't envy the noble status of the Princess Chu Jinyao. She only envied the prince's dedication to Chu Jinyao. What more could she expect from her husband-in-law.

After a short silence, the female relatives said other things to Chu Jinyao in a low voice. As Zhao looked at the golden and jade decorations in front of him, Chu Jinyao's commanding manner was calm and sentimental in his heart untimely. The daughter became a princess, and she had a strong relationship with the prince. Now she is still pregnant with her first child. This should be the most gratifying thing for a mother. However, the Zhao family couldn't help thinking, Chu Jinxian is going well, and Chu Jinyao also has a prince to love, but what about the one who grew up in front of her since childhood?

Chu Jinmiao didn't know what happened to Su's family alone, she probably got married too, I don't know what kind of husband she found.

After sending away the people from the Changxing Houfu, Chu Jinyao set about preparing to return to Beijing. She was pregnant and just hit the return journey, and the road was bumpy, so she had to be more careful. Fortunately, the fact that Chu Jinyao was pregnant was almost considered to have passed the clear road. The emperor drove back to the palace and was heavily guarded. Who could do anything in the emperor's driving, plus Qin Yi was always taking precautions, Chu Jinyao returned without any danger. Arrived at Ciqing Palace.

After a few months of absence, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they returned to the capital. The palace was busy welcoming the masters, and the accompanying people were busy setting up and saluting, and the entire capital was immersed in the turmoil.

In the Changxing Hou Mansion, the second young master held a maid, and hurriedly asked, "Is my mother inside?"

The Second Young Master is Chu Jinyao's only brother, and he has the face of the prince and the princess. He deserves to be named the eldest son, and the title of Changxing Marquis can be passed on to another generation. The second young master got the answer and walked in quickly. At the same time, in the Forbidden City, Concubine Shu also broke a tea cup in anger.

"What a follow-up queen." Concubine Shu was so angry that her teeth rattled, "How dare you plot against my palace like this, my palace will never end with you."
