Chapter 138 He was angry, for no apparent reason
"I have official duties to attend to, and I will be away from home a lot of the time in the future. If you do this every time you go out, won't you hurt yourself? Stay well in the mansion and wait for me to come back."
"Prince, can you come back to Mo Garden to accompany me? During the few days you were away, it just so happened that... my menstruation was over." Xu Yan'er shyly stretched out her hand and drew circles on Xiao Yan'an's chest.
Xiao Yan'an held Xu Yan'er's hand to prevent her from doing anything out of line.
"I have something else to discuss with my wife."
"Prince, what's going on between you and Madam? Haven't you finished talking about it at Yunze Mountain? Madam took Dong Ling away, but trapped me in the mansion and didn't allow me to go find Prince. This is clearly favoritism! I haven't seen Prince for such a long time, and he actually had the heart to leave me." Xu Yan'er started crying again.
"You go back and wait for me first. I will return to Mo Garden in the evening."
"Really?" Xu Yan'er's eyes lit up.
"Really." Xiao Yan'an was helpless. Where else could he go except to Mo Garden?
"Prince, this month, I will definitely give birth to a child for you!" Xu Yan'er said confidently.
Xiao Yan'an was slightly stunned.
If possible, he didn't want any woman's children.
He wanted to have a child with Ji Chuhe.
But, is Ji Chuhe willing?
Did she really have no feelings for him? They were already married, so she should be willing to have a child of their own, right?
Xiao Yan'an had already arrived at Liuhua Palace, but he was still struggling with this matter.
Ji Chuhe was reading a book, completely immersed in the content of the book, unable to extricate himself.
Mianzhu wanted to remind her that the prince was coming, but was stopped by Xiao Yan'an.
Xiao Yan'an walked lightly and sat opposite Ji Chuhe.
Seeing that the teacup in front of Ji Chuhe was empty, he made tea for her himself.
When Ji Chuhe heard the sound of tea, he reached out to pick up the tea without taking his eyes off the book.
"Be careful, it's hot!" Xiao Yan'an reminded quickly, but it was too late.
Ji Chuhe was scalded so much that he let go of the teacup, and the scalding hot tea splashed out!
Ji Chuhe hurriedly protected the book in her hand, and the hot tea splashed onto the back of her hand, immediately scalding her fair and tender hand!
Xiao Yanan held her hand and checked her injuries.
Ji Chuhe then realized that the person sitting opposite her was Xiao Yanan, and she immediately pulled her hand back.
"Prince, when did you come?"
"Don't move, your hand is burned. Let me see if there are any blisters!" Xiao Yan'an held Ji Chuhe's hand again, "Mianzhu, do you have any ointment for burns? Go get it."
Mianzhu had already taken it over, "Prince, let me apply the medicine to the young lady?"
"No, I'll do it!"
"Let Mianzhu come." Ji Chuhe's tone was irrefutable.
Xiao Yan'an could only let go of her hand and give up his seat.
"Prince, you came to see me. What's the matter?" Ji Chuhe asked softly.
"Today, when I returned to the city, Xiao Jincheng left first. He should have returned to the mansion first, but when I came back, I found him waiting for me at the city gate. He also said that it was my father's intention and asked me to wait with him for my father to enter the city."
"Then what?" Ji Chuhe asked.
"In less than an hour, my father came back, and we returned to the palace together. He rode in the same carriage with us, but he didn't say a word."
Ji Chuhe had already applied the medicine on the back of her hand. She raised her hand and blew gently between her mouth a few times, her brows slightly tightened as she thought secretly.
"Ming'er was taken away by County Magistrate Gao. They said that Ming'er had no parents, so they would raise her in their house first. Will they take this opportunity to attack Ming'er? After all, as long as she is dead, there is no need to take her as a concubine."
"They don't dare to do that yet. Didn't father arrange a family dinner? Maybe father wants to say something to us during the dinner. Let's see what father's attitude is first."
"Okay." Xiao Yan'an nodded, his eyes falling on the red back of Ji Chuhe's hand, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." Ji Chuhe shook her head. "Has the prince visited Aunt Xu?"
"I saw her when I entered the inner courtyard."
Ji Chuhe was a little surprised. She had locked up Xu Yan'er for so long, but Xu Yan'er didn't make a fuss?
"It has been more than a month since she drank the aphrodisiac soup..." Xiao Yan'an said half of his words and left the other half. Ji Chuhe understood everything without him having to say more.
"Yes, if she gets pregnant with the prince's child this month, even if the fact that her menstruation was faked is exposed, no one will question the purity of the child's bloodline." Ji Chuhe continued.
This is not what Xiao Yanan meant.
What he meant was that he wanted Ji Chuhe to confirm again whether she really wanted to give up her status as the eldest son?
"In fact, you asked Xu Yan'er to drink the contraceptive soup because you were worried that if she got pregnant, the child would be criticized in the future, right?"
"No, I did it for myself. If Xu Yan'er got pregnant at that time and was used by someone with ulterior motives, the child would definitely not be kept. Otherwise, there would be suspicion of confusing the royal bloodline, and I, as the head of the family, would be held accountable first. I was just taking precautions in advance."
"You, as the mistress of the house, are already impeccable."
"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness."
"If Xu Yan'er gets pregnant with my child, it will be my eldest son." Xiao Yan'an simply made it clear.
"Yes, but this is only the first child of the prince. He cannot have only this one child. In the future, I will raise all your children well. A dragon gives birth to nine sons, each of them is different, and each child has a different character. It is not necessarily the eldest son who has the ability to inherit the family business. We have to choose one of them who is talented and capable of taking on the responsibility and focus on training him."
"You've even arranged all this." Xiao Yan'an stood up.
She never thought about having a baby of her own!
"Sir, is there anything wrong with my arrangements?"
"No, it's arranged very well. I'm so lucky to marry a broad-minded and generous wife like you!" Xiao Yan'an said, turned around and left.
Ji Chuhe looked at Xiao Yanan's back and frowned even more tightly.
"Was he angry just now?"
"Miss, I think it is a little bit."
"What is he angry about?"
"I don't know either." Mianzhu shook his head.
"It's incomprehensible!" Ji Chuhe couldn't help but say.
The family banquet in Changning Palace was prepared jointly by Nanny Si and Nanny Ji, so Ji Chuhe didn't have to worry about anything and just had to arrive a little earlier.
As soon as she arrived, Dong Ling followed.
"Madam, is there anything I can help you with?" After saying that, Dong Ling couldn't help but yawn.
"Why are you so sleepy? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Ji Chuhe asked.
"I slept well, but I don't know why. I've been very tired these past two days. It seems that no matter how much I sleep, I can't get rid of my fatigue. I went to bed early after dinner yesterday, and I slept until dawn this morning. After breakfast, I felt tired again. I didn't dare to sleep anymore, so I walked around in the garden. After lunch, I really couldn't hold on any longer, so I slept until just now when I woke up."
"Aunt Dong, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to ask the court doctor to come and see you?" Mianzhu asked hurriedly.
Dong Ling shook her head. "I shouldn't be sick, right? I don't feel anything except sleepy."
"Aunt Dong, being lazy is just being lazy, and you're still making up a high-sounding excuse!" Xu Yan'er's voice rang out behind them.
