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

In the 321st year of the Xia calendar, the much-anticipated Spring Examination is about to begin. The specific times have been set on the 9th, 12th and 15th of the second lunar month. Each session will last for three days, for a total of nine days.

On the ninth day of the second lunar month, which was March 19th, under the protection of everyone, Yan Youzhi once again stepped into the examination room that would decide his fate, with a heart full of expectations and nervousness.

Outside the examination room, there was a huge crowd and it was very lively.

Hua Xin was sitting in the carriage and couldn't help but yawning loudly.

Yan, who was standing aside, held Ning Baoer carefully in her arms, her eyes full of love.

"Miss, Youzhi has entered the examination room, and it's time for us to go back." With Hua Xin's company, Yan, who had been very nervous, was not nervous at all. Especially when she saw Yan Youzhi enter the examination room safely, she finally put her mind at ease.

Hua Xin felt a little sleepy. She looked at Ning Bao'er who was already fast asleep in Yan's arms, nodded gently and said, "Okay, I did get up too early today. I will definitely have a good sleep when I get home."

Yan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say, Miss. But it's really a shame for me to let Master Nangong drive today."

"He did this voluntarily, so don't think too much about it, nanny. I've said that we are all family and there is no distinction between each other." Hua Xin narrowed her eyes slightly, and her voice became a little sticky.

Seeing that Hua Xin seemed to really want to sleep, Yan just responded and said nothing more.

Nangong Ziqiu drove the carriage back.

Hua Xin closed her eyes and fell asleep soon.

Yan looked down at Ning Baoer in her arms, then looked at the sleeping Hua Xin, and leaned against the carriage. For a moment, the carriage was silent.

In fact, what she didn't know was that even if they left, Yan Youzhi's safety was guaranteed. Hua Xin asked Wen Ding and Wen Yan to protect him secretly until the end of the exam. However, Hua Xin did not tell Yan Shi, but she was worried that Yan Shi would be worried after knowing this, thus adding unnecessary psychological burden.

When Hua Xin woke up again, she was awakened by hunger. Nangong Ziqiu was sitting beside the bed, and Hua Moxuan was playing with Ning Baoer in the partition.

"Xinxin is awake? But is she hungry?"

Hua Xin nodded and said, "Yes, I woke up because I was hungry. Is it past mealtime? Have you all eaten?"

"Brother and the others have eaten a little, but I'm not hungry, so I thought of waiting for you to wake up and eat with you." After saying this, Nangong Ziqiu naturally began to tidy up Hua Xin's clothes and re-tied her belt.

"Xinxin recovered so well, it's almost as if she had never experienced childbirth." Nangong Ziqiu stared at the waist that was still as slender as a willow, and couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.

Hua Xin shook her head and said coquettishly, "No, my waist has become wider. I have to work harder to recover. Let someone prepare a meal. I'm so hungry that I can eat three cows!"

As she spoke, she seemed to have seen the table full of delicious food and her mouth was watering.

Recently, the kitchen has been serving home-cooked dishes of ordinary families, and this is exactly what Hua Xin specifically requested.

Perhaps because her diet was too bland during the confinement period, she now has a special liking for spicy food.

Whether it is tofu, fish, or even ordinary cauliflower, a lot of chili must be added to satisfy her taste buds.

Take tofu for example, it has to be made into spicy and fragrant Mapo tofu; as for the delicious crucian carp, it needs to be cooked in a braising way and garnished with bright red and tender green peppers; even the originally bland cauliflower can only win Hua Xin's favor when it is made into spicy and delicious dry-pot cauliflower, and it is necessary to add more oil and chili.

Looking at the fiery scene in front of him, Nangong Ziqiu couldn't help but open his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back.

At this moment, he finally understood why his elder brother and others no longer had meals with Hua Xin.

This red, spicy dish will definitely make you get a sore throat if you eat it with every meal.

No wonder the tea they drink recently is all herbal tea that clears away heat and relieves internal heat.

It seems that I was slow to realize it!

"Xinxin, don't you think it's spicy?"

Nangong Ziqiu felt his mouth was burning, and drinking tea didn't help.

"Is it spicy? I think it's okay!" Hua Xin finished the last bite of rice with the fish very contentedly, and then put down her bowl and chopsticks.

Nangong Ziqiu looked at the red lips of Hua Xin and wiped them with a handkerchief.

"Hmm... Looks like you're feeling the spiciness! Haruko, serve the tea!"

Chunqin had already prepared the herbal tea, which is a must-have drink for gentlemen these days.

Nangong Ziqiu was drinking herbal tea while watching Hua Xin eating pickled plums. He took one with some confusion, but it was so sour that it made him cry.

"Xinxin, don't you feel jealous?"

Hua Xin was stunned when she heard that, and blurted out: "Is it sour? I think it's okay!"

Nangong Ziqiu put down the bitten plum and directly pulled Hua Xin's wrist.

"How did you..."

"Shh!"

Nangong Ziqiu was feeling Hua Xin's pulse with a nervous look on his face, and he felt something was wrong.

Hua Xin hadn't reacted at first, but now she felt something was wrong when she saw the other person's eyes. She subconsciously looked at her stomach and murmured, "No way?"

"It really is!" Nangong Ziqiu let go of his hand and fell directly into the chair. "Whose is this? Who is so quick?"

Hua Xin blinked her eyes and tried to do it herself without believing it.

After a while, she also sat on the chair, a little speechless for a moment.

"Xinxin..."

"Zi Qiu..."

After a moment's silence, they both spoke at the same time.

"Xinxin speaks first."

When Nangong Ziqiu saw Hua Xin's hesitant expression, he suddenly had a bad feeling. Could this child be his new brother's?

No wonder he thinks so!

If it was a group of them, Hua Xin would definitely say it directly, instead of being hesitant like she is now.

"I think this child is most likely Qingyan's." Hua Xin calculated the time. It has been more than a month, so it must be Song Guanqing's.

Why didn’t Nangong Ziqiu think about himself?

Because he was concerned about Hua Xin's health and wanted her to take more care of herself, she hadn't touched him until now.

But he was not sure whether others did the same. After all, no one would discuss such private matters in private.

Now Hua Xin said that the child belonged to Song Guanqing who had already left. He felt even more troubled because it was unknown whether this brother would come back.

"Xinxin, are you so sure? Could it be someone else's?" Nangong Ziqiu asked back.
