As the mistress of the harem, Empress Cheng naturally could not hold on to her son and be reluctant to let go. She had to deal with court officials and the women in the harem, and also host a banquet with the emperor for the soldiers who had returned to the city.

An hour had passed since Xie Shang got rid of Queen Cheng's various entanglements. Jiang Fenghua, who was pregnant with a big belly, also received the emperor's permission that she did not have to greet guests like other princesses.

The palace was bustling with activity, with the stewards of the six palaces, as well as the palace maids and eunuchs, all wandering around at the banquet.

Xie Shang suddenly pulled her into the inner palace and walked towards the Chenxi Palace, and dismissed the maids and guards who followed her. Jiang Fenghua was held by him with one hand and protected her belly with the other hand, so her steps seemed to be a little slower.

When he saw that she couldn't walk anymore, he asked her, "I will carry you."

Jiang Fenghua pointed to her belly and said, "I am heavier than a pig now."

Xie Shang just didn't believe it and was about to take action, but Jiang Fenghua quickly moved away, "I know Your Majesty can carry the child, but this is an emergency, please don't hurt the child, I can walk by myself."

Xie Shang just wanted to take her back to Chenxi Palace to ease his longing for her, but she seemed inconvenient at the moment.

As they walked along, the palace maids and eunuchs around them frequently looked at them and laughed secretly. Xie Shang kissed the corner of her lips without any scruples. He wanted to hear something he wanted to hear from Jiang Fenghua. They had met for such a long time, but she didn't say a word. Was she still angry about Su Tingwan's matter?

"Ruan Ruan, I like you and want to be with you forever." Xie Shang suddenly made a nonsensical confession.

Jiang Fenghua smiled and replied, "I like you, too, Your Majesty. Aren't we together? We have been married for so long, and we are about to give birth to a child."

"Don't be perfunctory with me. The love I'm talking about is not the love that ordinary couples have. It means that I can only love you, and you can only love me. It's not about being respectful and polite to each other. I want you to open your heart to me." He still remembered the awkwardness between them when they left Beijing. These were the words he wanted to say to her at that time, but she never gave him an answer.

Jiang Fenghua's heart was filled with undercurrents. Did he sense her unreality? She concealed her inner thoughts and smiled sweetly, "I really like the prince."

"Then how do you prove that you have been thinking about me all the time?"

Miss him? How? Is being crazy about him every day considered missing him? She was also very busy in Shengjing.

The current Xie Shang is a completely different person from the Xie Shang in his previous life. Could it be that he was also reborn? In order to make up for his debt to her, he decided to love her well.

Jiang Fenghua shook off the messy thoughts in his head.

Xie Shang saw that she was lost in thought, "What are you thinking about?"

"Your Highness, please follow me." Jiang Fenghua took his hand and walked towards the Chenxi Palace again. This time she walked in front, and he also followed her footsteps and walked slowly forward.

Aoxue and Lianye followed far behind. Their mission was to protect the princess. The prince drove them away, and they really didn't know where to go.

Seeing that they were walking towards Chenxi Palace, Lian Ye naturally felt sorry for her young lady. She had just seen Ye Susu's figure. Her eyes were fixed on the prince with a loving look, as if there was something going on between them. The princess should have seen it too, but she just didn't say anything.

She said to herself, "I don't know how to ride the carriage faster. When did the prince become so slow? The princess is pregnant, but he doesn't care about the baby in her belly."

Lin Feng suddenly rushed in front of them, "Miss Lian Ye is scolding the prince again."

Lian Ye looked him over and admitted generously, "Of course I am criticizing your prince."

"You are getting bolder and bolder. You even dare to criticize the prince. Aren't you afraid that the prince will change your master?" Lin Feng deliberately confronted her.

"Who should I change to? Miss Ye?" Lian Ye was shocked. "She is a fairy! The prince is rushing to send a maid to her. It is not your prince's turn to decide who I will be with! At the beginning, Guard Lin liked Miss Ye's height and Miss Ye's height. Could it be that Guard Lin also likes her?"

"I didn't provoke you. Why are you yelling at me? Who is interested in her?" Lin Feng felt extremely aggrieved. She didn't even say welcome after coming back, and she even made up some stories. Are all women so unreasonable?

"Of course someone has taken a fancy to her!" She was too lazy to pay attention to him. She just heard that the prince had special feelings for Ye Susu, and she was afraid that the prince's palace would have a new member, as their young lady was pregnant.

The young lady may not care, but the maids cannot help but feel sad for her. If the prince really takes Ye Susu as his concubine, they can only watch helplessly.

Lian Ye was too lazy to argue with him and walked away. Lin Feng glanced at Aoxue and asked, "What's wrong with her?"

Aoxue said, "Lian Ye said that she would be the princess's person in life and her ghost in death. You still want to change her master. Are you sick in the brain?" Aoxue was also angry about the entanglement between the prince and Ye Susu.

"Will she never get married and be an old maid all her life?" This is what he actually meant.

He thought to himself: Lian Ye is pretty cute and has good cooking skills. At least I won’t go hungry if I marry her.

"Lian Ye, wait for me..." Lin Feng chased after her, "I haven't tasted Miss Lian Ye's cooking for a few months. I really miss it."

"If anyone wants to cook for you, go ask your Miss Ye!" The lotus leaf was like a cannon.

"Is there really nothing going on between Miss Ye and me?"

"So who has what with her?"

In an instant, Lin Feng didn't dare to say anything. He just guessed that the prince might like Ye Susu, and Ye Susu also liked the prince.

Jiang Fenghua brought Xie Shang back to Chenxi Palace. She pointed to the tallest tree in the yard. Occasionally, fresh young leaves emerged from the branches. The sunlight shining on the young leaves made people feel full of vitality.

"Your Highness, look over there." Her smile became gentle and her voice became lower and lower, for fear that the sound would be too loud and disturb the couple in the branches.

Xie Shang's mind was not on the tree. He was a little confused and pulled Jiang Fenghua into his arms, "This tree was planted when I was a child. I didn't expect it to grow so tall."

Jiang Fenghua just felt that she and he were not on the same channel. This man's mind was full of dirty thoughts when he saw her, and she was pregnant.

Xie Shang wanted to bite her while holding her, Jiang Fenghua said, "There is a bird's nest up there, with a pair of magpies in it. When the prince was away, I often came to see them building a nest. It started out small and then grew to this size. They are still decorating their nest. I wonder what it will look like in the end."

Xie Shang followed her line of sight and said, "From now on, a pair of loving magpies will live in Dawn Palace. They will give birth to a bunch of children there, just like Ruan Ruan and I."

"Humans and animals are different after all. Magpies only have one partner throughout their life, but humans cannot be with one person for their entire life." Jiang Fenghua suddenly said.

Xie Shang looked at the bird's nest on the tree. There were indeed two magpies snuggling together in it. The scene was as beautiful as a painting. The time was quiet and good. "Birds are just birds after all. They don't ask for much, so they can be loyal to each other."

"Ruan Ruan loves the prince and is loyal to him. Ruan Ruan doesn't ask for much." She felt the helplessness when he said this. There was still a distance between their hearts. Jiang Fenghua couldn't get over it, and Xie Shang couldn't give her any promises.

Although their destination is the same, they are each moving towards their goal in their own way.

Jiang Fenghua threw herself into his arms, avoiding his sight, and said something that didn't mean what she said, "In the past few months, I have been looking forward to the prince's safe return every day. I have always missed the prince and our children. They also hope to see their father. Even if I can't be like a bird, Ruan Ruan knows that the prince has Ruan Ruan in his heart, and I am satisfied."

Xie Shang loved to hear her sweet words. Sometimes he was like a child who never grew up and needed her to coax him before he was satisfied.

He is a person who is extremely lacking in love.

He hugged her tightly and kissed her deeply on the forehead.

With Jiang Fenghua around, he instantly forgot all his thoughts about Ye Susu.

Jiang Fenghua thought: If Xie Shang said that he and Ye Susu have been together for such a long time, and he didn’t have any other thoughts, he himself wouldn’t believe it!

A man's bad qualities can never be eradicated. If he cannot be faithful to her, how can he expect her to love him with all her heart?

At this time, Jiang Fenghua suddenly exclaimed, "Your Highness, they kicked me. Just now the baby seemed to have rolled around in my stomach and moved a little."

Xie Shang was stunned. He touched her belly with his palm and felt something moving inside. He put his ear to her belly and heard some sound inside. "Are they saying hello to me?"

Jiang Fenghua smiled gently, "They must have sensed that their father had returned safely, so they were happy too!"

"So magical, so wonderful." Xie Shang likes children and hopes to have children, but he only says it with his mouth. After all, he has no feelings for them yet. But at this moment, he intuitively feels their existence, which makes his heart suddenly excited. They are fresh life.

"I find it marvelous, too. This is probably what people often say about blood being thicker than water! We are their parents, so they can relate to us." In this life, she only wants to give them the best in the world, no regrets, no remorse, only joy and happiness.

"Ruan Ruan, you've worked hard. Ever since you became pregnant, I haven't had time to be with you. From now on, I will be with you every day until you give birth." He held her hand and made a sincere promise.

Jiang Fenghua nodded happily, "Yeah." I hope so, so that you can love them more.

"Your Highness, it's time for us to go to the banquet. You are a general who has made great contributions. It would not be good if you were not here!" Jiang Fenghua began to compliment her.

Xie Shang pulled her into the house and said, "Let's get some sleep first. Father is busy entertaining General Su and has no time to take care of me."

She wanted to say something else, but in fact she was also very tired and wanted to take a nap so that she would have enough energy to deal with her enemies in the afternoon.
