Fu Yanci grabbed the little hand that was making trouble on his chest and held it tightly in his palm.
"I've been holding it in for three months. If I hold it in any longer, good people will get sick!"
"Brother Yanci, just let me go to the East Palace to find Lan Yue. I promise to be extremely careful and not let the baby in my belly get any harm, okay?"
Fu Yanci pursed his lips and looked at Jiang Jingyu, who was acting coquettishly towards him, and said in a deep voice, "You can't do that either."
It was true that he wanted to have a child with her, but the child was nothing compared to her.
No one could replace her place in his heart.
Jiang Jingyu's heart softened and she kissed Fu Yanci's face: "I obey, husband."
Fu Yanci tilted his head and sealed her red lips.
It wasn't until Jiang Jingyu was breathing heavily that Fu Yanci let her go, his eyes full of doting and helplessness.
"I'll take you to the East Palace."
There was no doubt on his face that if the prince hadn't been there, he would have followed Jiang Jingyu to the East Palace in person.
Jiang Jingyu knew that this was Fu Yanci's last line, so she did not refuse and allowed him to escort her to the East Palace in person.
Half an hour later, East Palace.
After watching Jiang Jingyu enter the East Palace with his own eyes, Fu Yanci returned the same way.
The Crown Princess once ordered that as long as Jiang Jingyu comes to the East Palace, there is no need to pass a message, and he can be brought directly to her.
When Jiang Jingyu followed the palace servants to the back garden, the princess was sitting in the pavilion reading a book.
Although her gaze remained on the book in her hand, her eyes were already blank. She didn't even notice Jiang Jingyu's arrival, and she was obviously a little absent-minded.
The maid who led Jiang Jingyu was about to report, but Jiang Jingyu raised her hand to stop her. The maid nodded and stepped aside in a polite manner.
Jiang Jingyu raised the corners of her mouth and walked to the pavilion softly.
When there was only one step left from the pavilion, the Crown Princess still didn't notice Jiang Jingyu's figure. Jiang Jingyu stood on the steps and looked at the Crown Princess in front of her with a smile.
"Mother, the book is held upside down."
Hearing the familiar voice, the Crown Princess suddenly raised her head, and Jiang Jingyu's bright smiling face immediately caught her sight.
"Jing Yu? It's really you! Why are you here?"
The Crown Princess stood up, walked towards Jiang Jingyu with surprise and joy, and held her arm affectionately.
Jiang Jingyu raised his eyebrows and joked: "If I don't come again, someone's soul may be lost!"
The princess coughed twice and defended herself: "This book is very boring, so I lost my mind."
Jiang Jingyu saw through it without saying anything, and sat under the pavilion with the princess.
At this moment, there is no rigid identity between the two of them, they are more like close friends who have not seen each other for a long time, sitting together and talking about interesting things that happened recently.
The Crown Princess held Jiang Jingyu's hand and said with a smile: "Time flies so fast. Three months have passed in the blink of an eye. I remember the last time I saw Jingyu was the last time."
Jiang Jingyu: "..."
It turns out that nonsense literature is passed down from generation to generation.
"Jingyu, how is the baby in your belly? Is it making any fuss? I've been feeling the baby moving in the past few days. I don't know if it's my imagination."
Jiang Jingyu touched her flat belly and shook her head: "No."
Except for some morning sickness at the beginning, Jiang Jingyu's past three months were uneventful. If Fu Yanci, the old lady and others were not so nervous, she would have forgotten that she was still pregnant.
The Crown Princess also touched her belly, which was not yet pregnant, and her whole body exuded the brilliance of motherhood.
"The child in Jingyu's belly must be a good baby."
At this time, the personal maid who was serving the Crown Princess came over with a plate of freshly washed fruits. After hearing what the two said, she shook her head and smiled.
"Your Majesty, fetal movements usually start between four and five months. The young lady's pregnancy is one month later than your Majesty, so naturally you can't feel it now."
"When your mother is older, the fetal movements will become more frequent. By then, the little prince and princess in her belly will kick her belly to communicate with her!"
The Crown Princess said with a clear face: "That's it."
Thinking of the fact that the child would meet her in a few months, the Crown Princess was already looking forward to it.
She touched her belly and said softly: "I hope His Highness can come back soon."
Jiang Jingyu's eyes flashed slightly, and when she saw that the Crown Princess's face did not change when she mentioned the Crown Prince, she asked: "Is there any news from your Highness when he will return to court?"
The Crown Princess shook her head: "Yesterday His Highness sent a message saying that the disaster situation in Jiangnan has gradually stabilized, but there are still some things that need to be handled by Your Highness personally. Your Highness does not know the return date, but I think it will be soon."
Since he went to Jiangnan, the prince has been writing a letter every day and sending it to the East Palace. Although it had already happened a few days ago when the letter arrived in the hands of the prince, the prince did not mind. These letters became her support these days.
I can receive a letter from Jiangnan every day, learning about the prince's situation and daily life there, and my days are gradually looking forward to.
"It must be coming soon." Jiang Jingyu patted the Crown Princess's hand and changed the subject: "We haven't seen each other for a while, and I don't know if the hand is pregnant or not. How about a visit?"
The Crown Princess's eyes were bright: "Okay! When Jing Yu is away, I spend all my time hanging out with these flowers and books. I'm tired of it, so I'm looking forward to your coming!"
"It has been prepared for the queen and the young lady."
Grandma thoughtfully presented a wooden box and took out the leaf cards inside.
…
After returning to the General's Mansion, Fu Yanci went directly to the study and continued to handle the unfinished business.
Although he and the prince were far away in the south of the Yangtze River and the other in Kyoto, they had kept in touch with each other through letters in the past three months.
When the prince first came to Jiangnan, everything was not going well. All kinds of troubles came one after another. The prince could hardly keep his feet on the ground and was overwhelmed.
The prince told Fu Yanci all these matters in detail, and finally the two of them settled these difficult matters properly with their years of tacit understanding.
Now the burden on the prince is much lighter, and he can return to the court after the follow-up is dealt with.
But both of them knew that Ban Shi's return to the DPRK would never go smoothly. There would definitely be someone operating behind the scenes to prevent the Crown Prince from returning to the DPRK.
Both of them knew who was behind all this, and what they had to do now was to handle all the follow-up in Jiangnan without giving that person any chance to take advantage of the situation.
On the other side, the Third Prince's Mansion.
The third prince, whose plans had been disrupted many times, was now standing in front of the study window with an unclear expression. He turned the ring in his hand and wondered what he was thinking.
After waiting for a while, a guard hurried over, knelt on one knee behind the third prince, and presented a secret letter with both hands.
"Your Highness, this is a secret letter just sent from Jiangnan!"
