Qin Yan didn't know that he just wanted to bring his wife home for dinner, but he ended up hurting his two brothers badly.

If he knew, he would probably bring his wife to watch the joke and show off that he is a father.

The Queen has decided to find wives for the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, and plans to talk to the Imperial Concubine about it later.

He collected his thoughts and looked at Jiang Zhi with a softer look in his eyes. His tone was filled with a hint of anger and self-blame.

"You should have told us if you were pregnant. I also asked you to play with us for the whole morning. Your body must be exhausted. I didn't think it through."

The queen called the maid beside her and said, "Yuzhu, go get the ginseng that I received last time and give it to Qin County Man as an apology. Qin County Man can take it back to Madam Qin to replenish her body."

Jiang Zhi felt that it was inappropriate and wanted to refuse, "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with me as a minister. I do not deserve your reward."

The Queen grabbed her hand and tried to stop her. "I think you deserve it. You and your wife helped the Emperor a lot last time. I and my sisters also watched several wonderful performances. Just think of it as a reward. It's just my intention."

Having said that, Jiang Zhi couldn't refuse. If she did, it would be ungrateful.

"Thank you very much for the reward, Queen."

Just as Jiang Zhi finished thanking her, the imperial concubine came over.

"I shouldn't have done that today. I'll give you some things. I don't have any ginseng, so I'll give you a box of gold. You can buy more delicious food. And the perfume you sent last time smelled so good. Make more next time. I can't bear to use even one bottle."

The imperial concubine's sadness stopped within two seconds and she started to make plans.

As the imperial concubine glanced over, Qin Yan hugged Jiang Zhi and promised: "If the queen likes me, I will ask someone to make more and send them over. I guarantee that the imperial concubine will like it."

"You are a good boy. All right, take your wife back home quickly. When the baby is born, remember to bring him into the palace for me to see."

"Yes, when the time comes, I will ask the child to come and recognize the ladies and remember the rewards from the ladies."

Li Qingyang slowly moved to her mother's side, "I want that perfume too."

The sudden sound startled the imperial concubine. When she saw who the little guy was, her temper flared up. She grabbed Li Qingyang's hand and pretended to hit him twice.

"You're going to scare me to death, are you? I'm telling you, it's gone, confiscated."

"Ah? No, mother, please don't accept it..."

No matter how Li Qingyang mistook the imperial concubine, he didn't even look at her.

Qin Yan looked at this scene and wondered if he could still leave.

The Queen saw that the Imperial Concubine was in a bad temper again, and thought it was funny that she became more childish as she got older.

He gave a look to Qin Yan who was planning to go back.

Qin Yan received it and left with his wife.

Qin Yan originally wanted to return home with Jiang Zhi, but they were delayed in the palace for a while, so they still had some time to wait in the mansion.

Qin Yan was afraid that Jiang Zhi would be hungry, so he went directly to Zuimanlou.

They were old customers, and the waiter was the same one from last time. He took them into the private room and handed the menu that the shopkeeper had urgently ordered to the young man.

"Sir, the suggestion you made yesterday, my shopkeeper immediately went back and asked someone to do it. It has only been an hour, take a look."

Qin Yan was quite surprised by the speed. He took the menu and started to look through it.

"Your boss worked very quickly, and now it's all done."

The waiter said: "Hey, since there are many customers in the store and the shopkeeper is busy, I paid someone to copy it down and bind it into a book, hoping that the book can be used by our distinguished customers as soon as possible."

"Yes, yes, your boss is good and efficient. OK, we want steamed winter melon and shrimp, steamed glutinous rice and chicken, corn and pork ribs soup, dry pot cauliflower, red date corn steamed cake, and a pot of chrysanthemum tea, that's all."

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir." The waiter took the menu Qin Yan ordered and went out.

Soon all the dishes were served, and Qin Yan served some soup for Jiang Zhi to warm her stomach first.

Then he slowly filled Jiang Zhi's stomach and ate the rest of the dishes himself. Jiang Zhi was full, but she still ate red dates and corn cake and drank chrysanthemum tea.

Watching Qin Yan eating heartily, he watched himself eat a little dessert after his meal.

While eating, she asked in confusion, "Husband, you said that since I found out I was pregnant, I haven't had morning sickness. I've been eating everything with relish. Is this normal? Will I have morning sickness in the future?"

Qin Yan swallowed the food in his mouth and slowly said something to comfort Jiang Zhi, "Don't be afraid, my wife, it won't happen. I asked Old Tang, morning sickness mostly happens in the second or third trimester of pregnancy. You shouldn't feel dizzy or vomit in this situation. Don't worry, morning sickness is also classified according to different body types."

Jiang Zhi was relieved now. She really didn't want morning sickness. She had seen women vomiting bile during morning sickness on TV before. It was so uncomfortable. Now she didn't have to do that. She was so lucky.

She felt happy all of a sudden, and stroked her belly which was not yet pregnant. "The baby is such an obedient and sensible baby. The baby also loves his mother so he doesn't want to let her suffer."

In Qin Yan's eyes, the woman he loved most was stroking her belly with a gentle and happy look on her face, radiating the radiance of motherhood.

He couldn't help but touch his belly, "Humph, since you don't let mother suffer, I won't bother with you for making your mother uncomfortable last time. If you bully your mother again next time, I will remember it and I will definitely settle the score with you then."

Jiang Zhi slapped his hand away and scolded him with a smile: "How can you talk to a baby like that? He is only a little older and you are threatening him."

"Start with the baby. I want to tell the baby that from the embryo onwards, I will protect you just like I do."

"Oh, you're annoying, you just try to make me happy."

"Why am I kidding you? I'm serious."

"Yes, yes, seriously, hurry up and eat. We still have to go back after dinner."

"it is good."

After Qin Yan finished his meal, he picked up the corn and red date steamed cake that Jiang Zhi had not finished eating and took it away.

Sitting in the carriage, Qin Yan touched his bulging belly and sighed softly, "Oh, if I keep eating like this, I guess I'll be middle-aged and fat by the time the baby is born. No, I'm so young and handsome, how can I get fat? I must exercise."

"Then come on."

Jiang Zhi ate steamed cake and gave Qin Yan verbal support.

When Qin Yan and Jiang Zhi returned home, they were invited over by Old Lady Qin.

The two looked at each other in confusion.

Walking to the yard, Qin Yan supported Jiang Zhi and asked first: "Grandma, what happened? We just came back, why are you calling us here in such a hurry?"

Old Madam Qin just sat there drinking tea, without any anxious expression on her face.

"It's nothing urgent. Just now, the palace sent several boxes of different sizes. The eunuch who delivered them said that they were gifts from the ladies in the palace. Grandmother asked someone to call you here to see how you deal with these things."
