282 Four Months Pregnant
“That’s my daughter-in-law. Can’t I, as her father-in-law, go in and take a look? My son isn’t here, so I’m just asking out of concern, right?” Zhao Hongwei’s face was red. He had no status in the family now, and his usually clean face had a beard. It was said that he was more attractive? Perhaps Zhao Hongwei had thought things through and finally changed his style. However, his luck with women was really good. Even if he did not take care of himself after being in prison for so long, the woman who delivered food to him in prison would blush when she saw him.
Concubine Yuan stood with her hands on her hips, blocking Zhao Hongwei outside the door. Even Zhao Yingying shook her head, not allowing Zhao Hongwei to enter.
“Father, you should go back.” Zhao Yingying’s tone was sincere.
“Although it doesn’t matter to the general whether it’s a boy or a girl, you’re only fated to have daughters. It’s best for you to stay away from the Young Madam.” Concubine Yuan’s face was full of disdain.
“That’s right, that’s right. Previously, my younger sister came over to play while she was pregnant. When she returned, she gave birth to a pair of daughters.” Concubine Wan furiously nodded her head from behind.
When Concubine Wan said this, Concubine Fang immediately became nervous, “Our Zhao family has only one son, General Zhao. Marquis, please don’t do anything wrong. The Young Madam will be pregnant for ten months, so you can live outside for the next ten months. I’ll find you a house, so don’t come back for now.” Lady Fang immediately made the decision and pushed the stunned Zhao Hongwei far away.
“No, I’m the marquis. I’m the marquis. There has to be a man in this residence, right?” Zhao Hongwei said hurriedly, his face turning red.
“Hey, Marquis, don’t make a fuss. This residence can’t be without anyone, except you…”
“Sister, be more tactful with your words. The marquis has made some contributions. If it wasn’t for him, many men in Jing City would not be able to get a wife. The girls in our residence make up half of the capital.” The Zhao family was also known as his father-in-law’s family.
When the imperial physician was invited in, Zhao Hongwei was being thrown out of the door after his clothes were packed. “Marquis, you’ve lived a life of debauchery and love freedom. You can be free outside.” The concubines threw out a package and closed the door with a clang. Zhao Hongwei sat outside the door, dumbfounded. The passersby glanced at him, and the older women among them looked at him with particularly familiar eyes. It was strange. It seemed that since Jiang Xi became pregnant, the target of his charm had changed. In the past, the little girls who passed by would blush when they saw him, and the little girls would blush when he smiled. Now, Zhao Hongwei realized that the older women behind him were looking at him with fiery eyes, their eyes constantly scanning his strong waist. Zhao Hongwei shuddered.
At this moment, in the Zhao residence, the imperial physician put down the first aid box. When he saw Jiang Xi’s rosy cheeks and bright eyes, he nodded. After carefully taking her pulse, he looked at her face and said, “Young Madam is four months pregnant. You have to take good care of yourself during this time. Don’t lift heavy things, and don’t eat raw, cold, or spicy food. Drink more soup, fish soup and bone soup. The imperial physician said with a smile. Now that he knew about Jiang Xi’s background, he felt that she was very kind.
After the imperial physician left, Zhao Yingying happily wiped her tears. “If big brother knows, he’ll definitely be happy. It’s good that big brother can come back.” Zhao Yingying pursed her small lips. She was really satisfied with her life. If her child could come back, she would be even more satisfied.
“Don’t worry, he’ll definitely come back.” Jiang Xi smiled. If it were someone else, she would not be able to guarantee anything, but Zhao Ruifeng was her husband, so nothing would happen to him. “He’s going to be a father soon. If he doesn’t come back, even if I agree, the child won’t.” ‘The child’s grandfather wouldn’t agree either’. Jiang Xi glanced at the sky.
Only then did Zhao Yingying smile a little and quickly asked the servants to serve the dishes. The entire Zhao residence was in a jubilant mood and did not look dispirited at all. In truth, it was no longer important whether the Zhao residence had the marquis or not.
“Young Madam, there’s a palanquin in the palace that invites you in.” Hong Shan said softly as she massaged Jiang Xi’s shoulders.
Jiang Xi paused for a moment, then ordered her men to pack up and enter the palace. It was only right for her to enter the palace and take a look. The palanquin was prepared with snacks and fruits, and there was also a thick furry blanket spread out. It was soft and made one sleepy.
“Young Madam, we’ve arrived.” Hong Shan gently opened the curtain and saw that Jiang Xi was sleeping soundly. She was about to wake Jiang Xi up when the emperor, who had heard the news, stopped her.
Everyone was silent. The emperor had someone bring over a low stool. He sat on the side of the palanquin and lifted a corner of the curtain. He rested his chin on one hand and looked at Jiang Xi, who was sleeping soundly. Even the fine hair on his face could be seen clearly.
