Xiao Yu looked at Qin Zhen's surprised look and said with a smile: "It seems that Third Brother is really nice to you."
Qin Zhen didn't reply, and gently placed her hand on her lower abdomen.
She has not told anyone about her pregnancy except the royal family.
One is because the month is too small and there are too many certain factors. The other is because Xiao Jue is back.
Xiao Jue returned to the palace some time ago and heard that he was very ill and had been recovering from his injuries for a long time. In the past few days, he seemed to have gotten better and was able to help the emperor deal with some things.
Lou Shengsheng was afraid that Xiao Jue would not give up on Qin Zhen due to his temperament, so he guarded her tightly and even hid the news of Qin Zhen's pregnancy.
Xiao Yu didn't think much about it, only thinking that Qin Zhen was fat because Lou Yan was so good to her.
Today is Xiao Yu's child's full moon banquet, and the entire Qin Mansion is full of joy. As the mistress of the Qin Mansion, she should also show her face.
Xiao Yu reached out and took the child from the wet nurse, held it in her hand, and asked Qin Zhen, "Do you want to go out with me?"
Qin Zhen said with a smile: "I'd better go with you. Brother handed you over to me. If I don't take good care of you, he will blame me."
Xiao Yu's face turned red with embarrassment: "Your elder brother is too exaggerated, you don't need to pay attention to him."
Qin Zhen just smiled and said nothing.
Qin Yi was fine, he was just nervous about his wife and children. That was Lou Yan's real exaggeration.
If Xiao Yu knew this, he would probably laugh for a while.
The two of them talked and laughed and went to the front hall together.
However, as soon as the person stepped through the door, Qin Zhen's eyes fell on one spot and the smile on her face disappeared.
Xiao Yu didn't hear Qin Zhen's response. Just as he was about to ask Qin Zhen what was wrong, he saw a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
Isn't this person none other than the former prince Xiao Jue who left the capital for several years and returned to the palace not long ago?
The smile on Xiao Yu's face also disappeared, and his expression became a little solemn.
Xiao Jue's original rebellion failed, and the Qin family was indispensable, so Xiao Jue would inevitably hold a grudge.
Xiao Yu really didn't expect that Xiao Jue could appear in the Qin Mansion with such arrogance.
Xiao Jue also happened to see the two of them. He smiled and said a few words to the people around him, then walked towards the two of them.
Xiao Yu held his breath for a moment and straightened his back a little.
Xiao Jue stood still in front of the two of them and looked at Xiao Yu with a smile: "Fifth sister, long time no see."
Xiao Yu twitched the corners of his lips and smiled a little stiffly: "I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Looking at the look on your face, isn't it because of me?" Xiao Jue lowered his eyes slightly, and the look on his face showed a bit of grievance, "I did do wrong things before, but I have already paid the price for it. Father
The Emperor has forgiven me, but Fifth Sister still refuses to forgive me?"
Xiao Yu's expression was extremely stiff. After hearing what he said, he stumbled and said: "No, no, what are you talking about? Brother is willing to come here because he gives me face and is my child's blessing."
"Really?" Xiao Jue laughed, his previous grievance no longer felt.
His eyes fell on the child in Xiao Yu's arms, and he stretched out his hand and said, "I am also the child's uncle after all. Is it okay if you give me a hug?"
Xiao Yu subconsciously hugged the child in her arms tightly and did not hand it out.
Qin Zhen, who had been standing nearby, took a step forward and blocked Xiao Yu and the child behind her: "The child is still young, fragile and prone to crying. I am afraid of causing trouble for the eldest prince."
Xiao Jue had always pretended that Qin Zhen didn't exist, and hadn't looked at Qin Zhen since he came here. Now that Qin Zhen stood up on her own and took the initiative to speak, Xiao Jue's eyes slowly fell on Qin Zhen.
"Zhen Zhen, long time no see," Xiao Jue's voice was very low, like a whisper, "I have been thinking about you every day in the past few days."
His voice was so low that only three people nearby heard him.
Xiao Yu's eyes widened in shock, and he looked at Xiao Jue in shock.
Qin Zhen was calm and looked at Xiao Jue expressionlessly.
Xiao Jue withdrew his hand to hold the child and said with a smile: "Why are you nervous? How can I hurt a child?"
Qin Zhen said coolly: "Don't you know how?"
Xiao Jue suddenly laughed: "Zhen Zhen, you think so highly of me."
Qin Zhen frowned and said with some disgust: "Don't call me by my name."
Xiao Jue paused and said, "Okay, Princess."
Xiao Jue looked at Qin Zhen intently for a moment and said slowly: "We still have a long time to live in the future."
After that, he turned around and blended into the crowd, as if nothing had happened, and started chatting with the others.
Xiao Yu held the child and looked at Qin Zhen worriedly: "Are you okay?"
Qin Zhen's face was extremely cold, and her eyes looking at Xiao Jue were even colder.
As soon as she saw this person, Qin Zhen felt physically uncomfortable. The past that she had gradually let go of came up again and again.
She thought she had forgotten it long ago, but that was not the case. When Xiao Jue appeared in front of her, those memories suddenly became particularly vivid.
Xiao Yu saw that her face was not good and he was a little worried: "Qin Zhen, are you really okay?"
Qin Zhen closed her eyes and was about to say it was okay when she saw two people coming in from the door.
Lou Yan and Qin Yi seemed to have something to deal with. They came a little late and were coming in side by side from outside.
Lou Yan's eyes found Qin Zhen almost immediately, and then he walked over with long strides, followed closely by Qin Yi.
As soon as he got closer, Lou Yan's expression changed. He walked to Qin Zhen in a few steps and asked anxiously: "Your face looks very bad. What's wrong? What happened?"
Qin Zhen thought she could bear it before, but after seeing Lou Yan, she felt she couldn't bear it anymore.
She immediately got into Lou Yan's arms, buried her head in Lou Yan's chest, closed her eyes and said nothing.
Lou Yan hugged the person and raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yu who was standing aside.
Xiao Yu pursed his lips and finally said: "Just now, Xiao Jue came over and said some unwelcome words to Zhen Zhen."
Lou Yan's expression suddenly changed, and he turned around to look for Xiao Jue in the crowd. The muscles all over his body stiffened, which was a sign that he was about to take action.
Qin Zhen reached out and hugged Lou Yan's waist, and whispered in his arms: "Today is Xiao Qin Yu's full moon banquet, and I don't want any accidents to happen. I'm tired, please take me back to rest."
Lou Yan took back his foot that was about to step out, took a deep breath, and replied: "Okay."
He bent down, held the person in his arms, turned around and strode away.
Qin Yi didn't look very good either. After watching the two people leave, he asked the people around him: "Are you and the child okay?"
Xiao Yu shook his head and whispered: "It's okay. Xiao Jue was about to hold the child just now, but Zhen Zhen stood in front of him and stopped him."
Qin Yi hummed: "I know."
Not far away, although Xiao Jue was chatting happily with the people around him, he kept paying attention to Qin Zhen's direction out of the corner of his eye.
When he saw Lou Yan carrying the person away again, Xiao Jue stopped talking and looked steadily in that direction.
The people around him followed his gaze, laughed, and said jokingly: "Our prince is really not very kind to his princess."
