Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

Chapter 41 Gradually Stranger

"Please stay, Imperial Concubine..."

Ran Qianxi turned her head back impatiently, but Xie Ying had already taken a few steps forward.

"what?"

Xie Ying pulled herself out of her memories of the past. She had used the same tone back then, with a bit of arrogance, and it was exactly the same as when she was a child, without any change.

"Do you know what to do if you encounter a wolf?"

Ran Qianxi observed his expression carefully, and after a moment she suddenly realized that he was threatening her!

"How dare you threaten me!"

Xie Ying was surprised for a moment and then couldn't help but smile. It turned out that she thought she was comparing herself to a wolf.

"I am just asking."

"Light the fire!"

Xie Ying's eyes turned slightly red; this was the answer he wanted to hear.

"What if it's snowing all over the sky?"

"Hide in a cave, make a circle and light a fire, you are so stupid..."

Xie Ying burst into laughter, his eyes already soaked with tears.

"I am a little stupid..."

Ran Qianxi turned away impatiently, still muttering to him.

"baffling."

For two whole days, Ran Qianxi still found him inexplicable.

Two days later—

"Second Miss, the King of Jibei wants to see you."

After hearing Sui Xue's report, Ran Qianxi looked up in surprise!

"Who are you talking about?"

"This servant is the King of Jibei, your foster father."

Ran Qianxi stood up quickly, and Sui Xue ran over to help her in a panic.

"It's okay. It's been less than two months."

“You don’t know, you have to be extra careful in the first three months and the last three months.”

She walked quickly to the front of the hall, and sure enough, Tan Qianhuan was waiting for her with his hands behind his back, still looking gentle, calm and elegant.

"Father~"

Tan Qianhuan turned around and saw her belly at a glance. His joy was concealed by endless murderous intent.

"Xier~"

Ran Qianxi walked over happily, and there was no flaw in Tan Qianhuan's expression.

"Godfather, I miss you so much..."

Tan Qianhuan glanced at Suixue, and Suixue left sensibly.

He turned his eyes back and looked coldly at the child in her belly.

"What are you looking at, godfather?"

Tan Qianhuan walked forward a few steps expressionlessly, pulled her in and kissed her, his cold fingers stroking her belly, instantly making her feel a strange chill.

As he stroked, he put his fingers into Ran Qianxi's belt and untied it, then licked and kissed her right neck vigorously.

"Well... no, godfather... I... I'm pregnant..."

Tan Qianhuan opened his cold eyes, and not only did he not stop his actions, but they became more and more intense, with no intention of caring about the dragon species at all.

"Wait... Godfather, wait a minute..."

Ran Qianxi used all her strength to push him away. He slowly raised his eyes and put on the mask again.

"I'm sorry, Xier, I was too anxious, but it's just because I missed you so much."

Ran Qianxi smiled and wiped the corner of her mouth. The apology full of loopholes actually made her forget her abnormality.

"It's okay. I just got pregnant with great difficulty. Don't get rid of it."

Tan Qianhuan's eyes were so sinister that they could devour everything, but the corners of his mouth were raised in a contradictory way.

"Are you looking forward to this baby?"

"I didn't expect much, but now that I'm pregnant, of course I have to give birth to the baby safely."

Tan Qianhuan looked at her waist and instantly understood why she was pregnant.

"Where's the sachet I gave you?"

Ran Qianxi bit her lip guiltily.

"Tsk... I'm sorry, godfather... I accidentally lost it..."

Tan Qianhuan had already guessed this possibility. He smiled so that no one could see his hypocrisy, and he actually took out a new sachet.

"It's okay. I made another one for Xier. Don't lose it this time."

Ran Qianxi took it happily and fiddled with it in her hands complacently.

"Okay, I won't lose it again this time."

Tan Qianhuan took it calmly.

"I'll put it on for you."

"Okay~"

After applying the sachet, Yuqing came in with the pregnancy-maintaining medicine.

"My queen, it's time to take the pregnancy-preserving medicine."

Ran Qianxi walked over and opened the palace door.

"come in."

Yuqing first bowed to Tan Qianhuan, then put down the tray and picked up the pregnancy-preserving medicine.

"It's more effective if you drink it while it's hot, madam."

Ran Qianxi smiled gently, and seemed to have become like a mother.

"it is good."

Tan Qianhuan looked at her expression and his eyes suddenly darkened!

After putting down the empty bowl, she suddenly felt a slight pain in her abdomen, but she didn't pay attention to it.

Tan Qianhuan stared at her belly, full of disgust and contempt for the dragon species.

"Xier is in the early stages of pregnancy, so you must be careful about everything."

Ran Qianxi smiled brightly. She thought everything her adoptive father said was right.

"Hmm... I understand, godfather~"

"Then Xi'er, take a good rest first. I just arrived and there are still many things to take care of in the mansion."

Ran Qianxi stood up and took his arm.

"Okay, I'll take my godfather home. Come back to see me when he's done with his work."

Tan Qianhuan looked at her and smiled. Although he was extremely disgusted with the fetus in her belly, he still doted on her very much. If the child in her belly was his, he would definitely praise her to the sky.

“Eat less sweets.”

"Okay, godfather, don't worry, I can take care of myself."

Tan Qianhuan raised his hand, touched her hair, then turned and left.

As he walked out of the gate of Yifeng Palace, he ran into Baili Yong, who bowed gracefully.

Baili Yong glanced at him with the same look he gave the dragon fetus, cold and filled with contempt and murderous intent.

Baili Yong walked into the hall and his face was filled with joy when he saw Ran Qianxi.

"What were you talking about?"

Seeing him approaching, Ran Qianxi stood up and he saw the new sachet at a glance.

"It looks like you haven't worn this sachet for a few days."

"I accidentally lost it and just found it back."

Baili Yong smiled faintly and didn't think anything was wrong.

With Tan Qianhuan's perfume-making skills, only experts can smell it.

"Just find it back."

Ran Qianxi hugged him lazily and was held firmly by him.

"Your Majesty, I am so annoyed. This child is so bad."

"The child will be unhappy if he hears this."

"Oh, I don't care. I just feel like it's tasteless. I want to eat something sour."

Baili Yong caressed her hair lovingly, thinking of a boy as the best and a girl as the best, and he looked forward to the birth of his child even more.

"I remember there are people in the Queen's palace who can make plums. I'll ask them to bring some to you tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty~"

Tan Qianhuan was walking on the palace road when he ran into Concubine He.

"Meet the King of Jibei."

With just one look from him, He Xiaomeng seemed to understand something.

The next day—

The queen's personal maid brought a plate of plums, and Baili Yong was peeling lychees for Ran Qianxi.

Other concubines had to serve Baili Yong even if they were pregnant, but after Ran Qianxi became pregnant, she didn't ask for anything and didn't say anything. He ordered people to send lychees as fast as possible, and he peeled them by hand without complaint.

"Your servant greets His Majesty, and the Imperial Concubine."

Baili Yong gave her a look and told her to put down the plums. She carefully placed them on the table, bowed and left.

He handed the litchi to Ran Qianxi's mouth and smiled slightly.

"Eat the lychees first. I'll pick a big one for you."

Ran Qianxi gently held the litchi in her mouth and was about to finish eating when Baili Yong naturally reached out his hand.

"Spit it into my hand."

Ran Qianxi smiled, but she couldn't bear to spit in his hand, so she spit into her own hand and put it on the table.

"It's all saliva... Your Majesty, please don't touch it..."

Baili Yong looked at her with a doting look on his face, not noticing anything at all.

"It's not like I haven't tasted your saliva before."

Ran Qianxi held her forehead with her hand awkwardly.

"Oh... Why are you saying this in broad daylight..."
