Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

“She already has several teeth, so eating a little less won’t hurt.”

Jiang Yi saw Wenzan eagerly watching and picked him up, putting him on his own lap with a smile, “Our young man needs to eat meat too, so he can grow tall and strong.”

In fact, they can’t eat much, just trying to chew.

But their faces ended up all greasy.

Jiang Ning didn’t bother to clean them up and instead found it interesting, laughing out loud.

Jiang Yi shook his head, “You don’t act like a mother at all. I think it’s better to take the child back to our house to raise. Letting you play with him like this really doesn’t make people feel at ease.”

“I’m not playing around. Raising a child doesn’t have to be tense all the time.”

Though Jiang Ning said this, she still took out a handkerchief to clean the child’s hands and mouth.

Jiang Yi started eating again.

He wrapped a large piece of venison that Jiang Ning had cut in a pancake and ate it all.

“Brother, you’re really not afraid of overeating.”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten so much.” Jiang Yi burped satisfyingly, looking relaxed.

Jiang Ning jokingly said, “If Zhang Mujin saw you like this…”

Jiang Yi chuckled, “She’s not here.”

“I’ll invite her over in a few days.”

“Really?” Jiang Yi immediately sat up straight, “When? What do I need to prepare?”

Jiang Ning: “…Brother, you don’t have to come to our little girls’ gathering, right?”

“You’re already married and have a child, and you still have the nerve to call yourself a little girl?”

“Hehe.”

“Your laugh is a little scary.”

“I’ll give you a chance to rephrase.”

“Thin as a willow at thirteen, with budding cardamom in early February. The spring breeze along ten miles of Yangzhou Road is not as good as rolling up the pearl curtain.”

“Oh, is Third Brother comparing me to a skinny horse from Yangzhou? I’ll tell dad and mom when I get back. And I’ll tell Zhang Mujin the day after tomorrow!”

“Huh?” Jiang Yi was caught off guard.

Jiang Ning got up and walked away.

Seeing that her face seemed upset, Jiang Yi hurriedly got up and chased after her, “Third sister, third sister, don’t go. It’s all my fault, I said the wrong thing, I really won’t dare to do it again!”

Jiang Ning coldly said, “Apologize.”

“I’m sorry!”

“Hand it over.” Jiang Ning held out her hand.

“What?” Jiang Yi was stunned.

“Isn’t there supposed to be a gift with an apology?”

“…What do you want?”

“I’ve been a bit tight on money lately.”

“I’ll give it to you!”

“Last time you called the Imperial Guard, what was the name of the one leading them?”

“Oh, his name is Gucheng.”

“As a single person living in Prince of Yu’s residence and being away from home, I don’t have a reliable bodyguard by my side…”

Jiang Yi understood.

What anger?

This naughty girl was clearly trying to extort him.

“My sister, those guards are Uncle’s loyalists, loyal to him and following him outside. They just came back from outside the frontier last month. I just borrowed them for help, how can I dare to take their leader to be your bodyguard?”

“Is it not possible?”

“I really can’t…”

“Anyway, I want him.”

“Sis, let’s not be willful. You want a bodyguard? This small matter, I will talk to dad about it and hire a few skilled martial artists for you.”

“I’ve set my sights on Gucheng.”

“What’s so good about Gucheng?”

“He’s handsome.”

Jiang Yi laughed, “If this gets to Prince of Yu’s ears, he might not be able to sleep.”

“Who cares about his presence now. I don’t even know if I’ll ever get a chance to see him again in this lifetime.”

“It’s not necessarily. According to the old custom, during the New Year, he can actually come back once. But he must first apply for permission from the Imperial Court, and only if the emperor agrees can he return.”
