Chu Wanxiang sighed and touched his abdomen, thinking that if this baby was born soon, he would have the love and care of his parents.

That night, Chu Wanxiang tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. She didn't fall asleep until the east turned white. In her sleep, Chu Mohan opened the door and came in, lifted the quilt and got into the bed. His big palm touched her abdomen.

, stroking her swollen belly, with a smile in his voice: "Little guy, you have to come out quickly!"

Chu Wanxiang woke up with a start. When she opened her eyes, she found that her pillow was empty. Only a gust of warm wind blew into the bedding, which confirmed that Chu Mohan had indeed stayed in her bedroom last night.

She glanced sideways outside and saw that it was already dawn. She quickly sat up, with her black hair hanging loosely, hurriedly put on a robe and rushed out.

"Where is your Majesty?"

"Back to the Queen, Your Majesty just got up and went to the morning court. He ordered the servants to help you wash up." Bi Wu said respectfully.

"Aunt Biwu, I'm hungry, bring me some food."

"Yes." Biwu retreated.

Chu Wanxiang changed clothes and dressed up, then went to find Chu Mohan. Biwu brought two maids with meals into the palace. Before Chu Mohan could sit down, Chu Wanxiang walked over and sat next to him.

"Your Majesty, I will give you some food." She said, picking up a piece of braised pork.

Chu Mohan glanced at her and said thank you lightly.

Chu Wanxiang felt a little disappointed. He was really not as gentle as before. Not only was he indifferent to her, he was also cold to other concubines.

She was eating dully, when she suddenly heard a cough, Chu Mohan put his handkerchief over his mouth, Chu Wanxiang glanced at it, no wonder he coughed, she almost forgot that Chu Mohan was suffering from a hidden illness.

"Your Majesty, I will wipe it for you." She took out a clean handkerchief and handed it to him.

Chu Mohan glanced at her, seemingly hesitant, and finally reached out and took the handkerchief.

His movements were a bit clumsy, but he wiped the corners of her mouth extremely carefully. Chu Wanxiang stared at him blankly. He had thick eyebrows, a straight nose, and beautiful facial features, especially his eyes, which were dark and deep, like obsidian.

It shines with a deep luster that makes people unable to take their eyes away.

"Wan Xiang," Chu Mohan raised his eyes to look at her, "What's wrong with you?"

"Ah? No, it's nothing." Chu Wanxiang lowered his head in panic, "I have eaten enough and will go back to the palace first."

Chu Mohan held her wrist, stared at her deeply, and said in a calm voice, "Follow me to the imperial study room to discuss matters later."

"But your Majesty is still sick and needs more rest." Chu Wanxiang advised him.

"It's okay. I know my body well and I'm fine."

Chu Wanxiang looked at his firm expression, pursed her lips, said nothing, and stood up silently. Chu Mohan helped her sit back on the chair and poured her another cup of tea. His palms were generous and warm,

The fingertips were long and the joints were well defined. He took a piece of pastry and stuffed it into Chu Wanxiang's mouth. She chewed the pastry and swallowed it, and took a sip of tea to moisten her throat. New

"Is it delicious?" he asked.

Chu Wanxiang nodded. She always ate very elegantly. Even simple pastries were chewed by her tastefully and beautifully.

"Eat slowly." He handed her the chopsticks again.

"Yeah." Chu Wanxiang ate with gusto, but soon became full.

"Your Majesty, are you still going to review the memorial today?" Chu Wanxiang asked.

"Of course, I also have to inspect the military headquarters, deploy troops, appease the people, and train soldiers." Chu Mohan packed up the memorials on the table.

"Then I will go with Your Majesty. I happen to have something to do."

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to... go to Concubine Su to discuss the matter of letting her draft girls in the harem."

Chu Mohan frowned, "Just leave such small matters to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, don't worry about it."

"But I want to take care of it, Your Majesty, just agree to it."

"I'm not sure if I say it!" Chu Mohan said with a serious face, "You are not feeling well, so you are not allowed to run around. You must stay in Fengzao Palace to raise your baby. If you are disobedient, I will not let you participate in the female talent show."

!」

Chu Wanxiang curled his lips and muttered: "Who cares about drafting girls?"

"I don't care!" He stared at her, a hint of danger flashing in his eyes.

Chu Wanxiang immediately closed his mouth.

"I will not allow you to interfere in the affairs of the harem!" Chu Mohan warned.

"But Your Majesty," Chu Wanxiang flattened his lips in grievance, "I just want to help Your Majesty with some trivial matters. You don't have to worry. I just want to check in occasionally, and it won't be too hard."

Chu Mohan didn't speak. After a moment, he softened his tone and said, "That's all. I allow you to check in occasionally. You should pay more attention to yourself."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Wanxiang smiled sweetly and pulled his sleeves coquettishly: "Your Majesty, I want to eat candied haws."

Chu Mohan frowned: "I asked the cook to cook it for you."

The night is as cool as water and the moonlight is bright.

Chu Wanxiang stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, staring at the bright stars in the sky in a daze.

"princess."

Chu Wanxiang turned around: "Why don't you rest?"

Qiu Ju lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes: "I can't sleep, I want to chat with you."

Chu Wanxiang nodded: "How old are you this year?"

"Fourteen."

"If so what do you like?"

"This slave likes...likes the prince."

Chu Wanxiang was stunned: "Why?"

Qiu Ju raised her eyes, her cheeks slightly red: "Your Majesty is handsome and handsome, has great martial arts skills, is smart and courageous, and is tolerant and kind to others. I have never seen a better man than Your Majesty."

Chu Wanxiang laughed: "You really know how to praise others."

"My slave is telling the truth, and there is absolutely no lie in it."

"May I have your name?"

Qiu Ju pursed her lips and smiled: "My name is Qiu Ju."

Chu Wanxiang said softly: "I haven't heard anyone call me 'Princess' for a long time, and I feel a little uncomfortable when I hear it suddenly!"

Qiu Ju was surprised: "Has the princess already forgotten?"

Chu Wanxiang shook his head, with a bitter smile on his lips: "Of course I haven't forgotten it. There is another person in my life who I will never forget in my life."

"Is the princess talking about your husband?"

"Well, he is the best man in the world." Chu Wanxiang's eyes filled with tears.

Qiu Ju quickly comforted: "Don't worry, Princess, I can reunite with you when the prince wakes up."

"Hopefully, we are almost reaching the border. I hope we can find my father smoothly this time."

As soon as Chu Wanxiang stepped into the house, Chu Mohan woke up.

Chu Mohan opened his eyes and saw Chu Wanxiang sitting on the edge of the bed, with tears shining in his eyes.

"Why are you crying?" Chu Mohan frowned.

Chu Wanxiang clenched his fists, forced back tears, and showed a faint smile: "You finally woke up."

Chu Mohan turned over and sat up, stretched out his arms to wrap around Chu Wanxiang's shoulders, leaned over and kissed her forehead: "Fool, nothing will happen to me."
