For some reason, Lu Qing has been unable to cheer up recently, and occasionally can't control her emotions.
Yan Fuguang blamed everything on the fact that she had been wronged and he had not yet been able to comfort her.
So he appeared at Lu Qing's side more and more frequently, and even moved some official business that needed to be handled back home to Jinxiyuan.
In the morning, snowflakes were falling outside and the temperature was very low.
Yan Fuguang got on the bed lightly and tucked Lu Qing into bed.
She woke up faintly, turned over and approached Yan Fuguang: "Are you leaving?"
Yan Fuguang pressed the quilt tightly and coaxed: "Go to court and come back when you are off duty."
Lu Qing was thoughtful. She rubbed Yan Fuguang's arm and confirmed tactfully: "What do you want to eat? I'll tell the kitchen to prepare it earlier."
Yan Fuguang understood her purpose and followed her without any complaints: "Let's have mutton soup. The weather is cold, so it's suitable to drink mutton soup."
Lu Qing nodded and moved away from his arm: "Okay, don't ride a horse when you go to court. Take a carriage instead."
Yan Fuguang nodded good-naturedly, pinched her cheek and said, "Lie down for a while and then get up for breakfast."
Lu Qing said "hmm", buried herself in the quilt and closed her eyes.
In Yan Fuguang's eyes, this abnormality in her was like coquettishness, but in the eyes of those serving around her, it was completely different.
Man Dong and Ji Qin hid for a long time, then hesitantly moved over and whispered to Lu Qing, who was resting lazily on the soft couch: "Master, your menstruation stopped last month. Come on, it’s the end of the month, but there’s still no movement…”
They speculated that Lu Qing was pregnant.
Lu Qing herself was a little surprised. In the past two months, with Yan Fuguang by her side every day, she had ignored such an important matter.
"Did you remember correctly?"
Mandong shook his head back and forth: "I really remember this!"
Ji Qin also said: "Don't you find that you are a little different recently?"
Lu Qing fell into deep thought, as if what they said was right.
Her temper was worse than before, and she always felt aggrieved for no reason. Sometimes at night when Yan Fuguang didn't hold her to sleep, she would have random thoughts for a while.
Lu Qing put her palm on her lower abdomen and said, "Please ask Dr. Jiang to come over."
Having a child is of course a great joy, but what Lu Qing is worried about is that if she does have a child, her recent mood has not been good, and she doesn't know if it will be affected.
Dr. Jiang arrived very quickly, and almost everyone in the office where Yan Fuguang lived in Jinjiyuan knew about it. Coupled with the slight joy in Mandong's eyes, she had an intuition that something good was going to happen.
Sure enough, Luqing was diagnosed with Ximai.
She asked about the approximate time of pregnancy, and Dr. Jiang said, "About two months."
Two months ago, Lu Qing still vividly remembered what happened on the night of the family dinner. This child was probably born at that time.
She stroked her forehead, feeling a little headache: "Is the child okay?"
Dr. Jiang replied: "Everything is fine, but the snowy weather has been slippery recently. Please try to be more careful and don't go out unless necessary."
An accidental fall would be serious.
Lu Qing was relieved. She frowned and thought for a while, then said to Dr. Jiang, "Can you please don't tell me about my pregnancy? I will tell the prince myself."
Of course there is nothing wrong with this. The prince and Concubine Wei have a deep relationship, and it is understandable that Concubine Wei wants to tell the prince personally. Doctor Jiang agreed immediately.
Lu Qing held Dr. Jiang's hand softly and said sincerely: "Thank you very much."
**
In the afternoon, Emperor Xihe summoned the five Yan Fuguang brothers before going off duty.
He was about to go to order the next meal, but he didn't expect this sudden change.
Yan Fuguang told Fang Jinbao: "Tell Jin Yuyuan that they don't have to wait for me if I come back late."
Fang Jinbao had long been accustomed to His Highness taking the initiative to report to Concubine Wei. He nodded and said, "Yes, I will send someone to convey the message right now."
Yan Fuguang then went to Changding Hall.
Emperor Xihe came to them for no big deal. The main purpose was to connect the relationship between father and son. Seeing all five sons grow up, he was filled with joy.
"Now Xiaowu is the only one left who is not married. You should learn from your four older brothers and start a family as soon as possible. Only then can your father be at ease and your mother and concubine can be at ease!"
Yan Qinghuai's ears turned red after being named, and he muttered: "You are already married and you are being pressured to have children. This is all just deception!"
Emperor Xihe didn't hear clearly, and the topic shifted to Yan Qingzhou: "Qingzhou, hurry up, it will be exciting to have more children!"
Yan Qingzhou's eyebrows were bright and handsome, and he smiled and said, "Yes, I obey your order."
In fact, he didn't plan to have a child so early. The prince had only had one daughter after being married for so many years. He didn't have great abilities. He didn't want to be an eyesore, so it was best to keep a low profile. If he was like his third brother, he would give birth to a child if he wanted to, no matter how many times he had to live, he wouldn't dare to have someone hinder him behind his back.
There were only two grandchildren. Emperor Xi and Emperor were not satisfied and urged them to leave one by one.
Yan Xianzhi put the responsibility on Jiang Mihe: "There was a concubine who was pregnant before, but the Crown Princess didn't take good care of her, and the child died. Father, instead of rushing the children, it's better to let the Crown Princess do her best."
Yan Fuguang couldn't stand listening: "The whole Jiang family is working hard for Dayan, and the prince actually doesn't even show mercy to the princess. If General Long Hua knew about it, he would probably feel sorry for his only legitimate daughter."
Emperor Xihe agreed with Yan Fuguang's words. He said, "Husbands and wives must be considerate of each other. Prince, please don't worry about everything."
Yan Xianzhi: "..."
Who urged him to have a child? Let him not care about it now! He knew that his father was partial to Yan Fuguang! Look, whatever Yan Fuguang said, his father thought he was right!
Yan Xianzhi made up his mind and fell silent. Emperor Xihe had no choice but to turn around and care about Yan Changfeng: "Changfeng, when can you and your princess have a child?"
Yan Changfeng said calmly: "The fate has not come yet, and there is nothing I can do about it, Erchen and Shuxian."
Emperor Xihe smacked his lips, feeling bored, and looked at Yan Fuguang.
Before he could speak, Yan Fuguang took the lead and said, "There will be children. I will try my best to give Brother Lan some younger brothers and sisters."
One child was indeed too few. He would coax the child's mother well first, and then discuss it with her to see if he could satisfy his little wish. Yan Fuguang silently planned it.
Emperor Xihe's broken heart was soothed. He patted Yan Fuguang on the shoulder and said happily: "It's you who gives me peace of mind the most!"
Yan Fuguang came out of Changding Hall smelling of alcohol.
He didn't even go back to Hemingyuan, but went straight to Jinqiyuan. When he came to the door, he stopped and asked the servant guarding the door: "Where has your master gone today? How is your mood?"
"Concubine Wei has never left the house except to pay her respects. As for her mood... I don't know very well..."
Yan Fuguang entered the house with some caution. At a glance, there was no figure of Lu Qing outside.
He frowned: "Where are you? You rested so early? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Yan Fuguang strode to the inner room, the bead curtain shook, and Lu Qing lay quietly on the bed, not yet asleep.
