The eldest lady is both a doctor and a warrior, they love her so much

"Of course, unless she leaves the Theatre, she will not be within our surveillance range. As for Lan Yue... tell him to stay here and there. There will be a reward when he comes back." Nangong Ziqiu looked at Hua Xin and said, "He will understand if I say this."

"Yes, I am resigning."

After Qingfeng left, Hua Xin asked curiously, "What reward? Does it have anything to do with me?"

"Guess." Nangong Ziqiu smiled, and seeing Hua Xin remained silent, he continued, "Let's talk about business. I think the Third Brother's people are watching her too. Do you think we should let Xiaoliu show up and meet her?"

"See her? No, don't even think about it. Yun Xiao is mine, how can I see another woman?"

Hua Xin refused immediately upon hearing that. Now that Xie Yunxiao was hers, no other woman could covet him. Even if she was a princess, she was still a princess!

"Yes, yes, if Xinxin says no, then let's not do it. And I don't believe that the people of the Great Chu Kingdom will allow her to do whatever she wants in Mingdu. If they want to marry a foreign princess, the princess is not here, so who can they use for the marriage?" Nangong Ziqiu said very seriously, holding Hua Xin's hand.

Hua Xin was amused: "You're right, but I've always been curious, if they don't know where Chu Qingyao is, will they find a substitute? Maybe they can really do such a thing!"

"This... shouldn't be possible!"

The happiest person at this moment was Xie Yunxiao, as he heard everything Hua Xin said.

……

There were two factions in the court today on whether to agree to the marriage proposal from the State of Chu.

One group, led by Prime Minister Hua Yuxing, advocated agreeing to the marriage, while the other group, led by Cabinet Grand Secretary Qiu Zhan, advocated rejecting the marriage.

Prime Minister Hua believed that the request for marriage between the Great Chu Kingdom could ease the situation between the two countries. If it was rejected, it might lead to war. After all, the new emperor of the Great Chu Kingdom sounded bad-tempered and not as peaceful as the old emperor. Once a fight broke out, it would do more harm than good.

The cabinet ministers thought that although the princess of the Great Chu Kingdom was of noble status, the Great Xia Kingdom might not necessarily agree. If every country advocated a marriage alliance, and we all agreed, how could we show the prestige of the Great Xia Kingdom? Even if we had to fight, our country had many talented generals and strong national strength, and we were not afraid of the Great Chu Kingdom.

The two sides held their own opinions and the dispute was unresolved. In the end, Ye Qingyao decided to put the matter aside. After all, it had not been long since the letter from the Great Chu State arrived, and they did not have to respond immediately.

Hua Yuxing and Ye Lansheng were both in Taiji Palace, and Ye Qingyao didn't speak for a long time.

“Father, do you also want to refuse?” Ye Lansheng asked when he saw Ye Qingyao remained silent.

"Hua Chen, what do you think?" Ye Qingyao suddenly spoke, looking at Hua Yuxing.

"Your Majesty has many princes. Raising a princess can avoid a dispute. Why not do it?"

Hua Yuxing still insisted on his point of view. War is really a waste of money and manpower. Although the Great Xia Kingdom is strong, it can't stand the war again and again. Aren't Western Liao and Northern Rong still in war? A bloody fact is in front of them. Why should they quarrel with the Great Chu Kingdom, which is equally powerful?

"How about this, except for Shan'er, all other princes of marriageable age come over and tell us what they think. The imperial letter says that Princess Qingyao is seventeen years old this year, and there is also a portrait of her. Let them see it when the time comes, and whoever likes her can choose her!"

Li Ruhai hurriedly handed a scroll to Hua Yuxing.

"There is also a portrait. Why didn't Your Majesty mention it last time?" Hua Yuxing took the scroll and opened it. "It's a pretty girl."

"Not as good as Xinxin." Ye Lansheng also saw it, but mentioned Hua Xin subconsciously.

"Hahaha, Xin'er is naturally the prettiest." Ye Qingyao heard Ye Lansheng mention Hua Xin and suddenly asked curiously, "You are in the Summer Resort now, right? Why doesn't this girl come to the palace to see me? I miss her. She didn't come to the Dragon Boat Festival palace banquet before, so she should come to the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet by then, right?"

"Uh, this..." Ye Lansheng was shocked to realize that they had not told the two elders about Hua Xin's pregnancy. Now they should not hide it anymore, right? He had not discussed it with Hua Xin yet.

"Why is it so difficult? Is the child afraid of heat? It's not hot during the Mid-Autumn Festival, right? Even if it is really hot, I can have someone prepare more ice basins!"

Ye Lansheng took a deep breath, bowed to the two elders, and said, "Father, father-in-law, there is something I need to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Ye Qingyao and Hua Yuxing looked at him.

"Xinxin is now pregnant, and the due date is in December. I'm afraid she won't be able to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner." After Ye Lansheng finished speaking, he saw the two elders staring at him, and no one of them reacted.

Instead, Li Ruhai smiled and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to the Prime Minister. The princess is pregnant. This is a happy event, a great happy event!"

Ye Qingyao finally found his voice: "You, you mean Xin'er is pregnant?"

"My Xinxin is pregnant? I'm going to be a grandfather?" Hua Yuxing felt his throat was very dry after he said this. Why did it seem so unreal?

"This, this... How could you hide it from me?" Ye Qingyao stood up, not knowing what to say for a moment, "Summer Resort, oh yes, Summer Resort, Ruhai, go pick out some things suitable for pregnant women, send them all to the Summer Resort."

"Yes." Li Ruhai said and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute, father, I think we should send all the things to the princess's mansion. We will only stay there for two months and then go back. Otherwise, we will have to move again, which is so troublesome. Besides, we are not going to the Mountain Resort, but the Youran Villa on the hill opposite the Mountain Resort." Ye Lansheng stopped Li Ruhai, and Li Ruhai could only look at Ye Qingyao.

Ye Qingyao's mind is now full of the news that Hua Xin is pregnant, so naturally he will do whatever Ye Lansheng says.

“Yes, yes, send them all to the princess’s mansion.” Ye Qingyao paced back and forth. He was happier about this news than when he first learned that he was going to be a grandfather.

After all, the eldest prince and the second prince’s children are not as cute as Hua Xin’s children!

There's nothing he can do about it, it's because he doesn't have a daughter!

Hua Xin is her darling little daughter!

"Yes, I want to go see Xin'er! Tomorrow is a day off. Yes, I want to go to escape the summer heat... Li Ruhai, pass down the order. I want to go to the Summer Resort to escape the heat. All government affairs will be transferred to the Summer Resort."

Ye Qingyao, who had originally planned to go to the Mountain Resort later, moved up his schedule because of the news that Hua Xin was pregnant.

Upon hearing this, Hua Yuxing also wanted to follow. He had just heard clearly that Hua Xin was not in the Mountain Resort, but in Youran Mountain Villa.

So, when Hua Xin saw the two fathers coming to Youran Villa, she was stunned.

And their eyes were all fixed on her belly.

Hua Xin could only smile at them.

I knew I couldn't keep it secret, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon.
