Harem Daily Life

He Yue touched his head and said, "The Second Prince Consort has so many friends..."

Tao Yanyan's mouth twitched: "Then you have to be very careful in screening. No ugly people, no poor family backgrounds, no stingy people, don't bring anyone in front of Yanran."

He Yue nodded and promised, "As you command, Madam Queen! Don't worry, Madam Queen, I will definitely look for someone who meets Father's standards in terms of appearance, and can only be a little lower than Father's. Her family background must not be bad, otherwise who will support us Yanran? As for her character, she will definitely be generous and not stingy. Just like Master Chang before, who made Yanran pay for half of the silver when he went out to eat, he deserved it so that he could not get married."

He Yanran was speechless. "Don't mention that Master Chang anymore. He's just calculating." She changed the subject, not wanting to be surrounded by people anymore. "Let's go quickly. The eldest princess can't wait to see her brother-in-law!"

He Xuan patted her and said, "You always make fun of me."

Several people happily got on the sedan chair and went to the Qinzheng Hall. The banquet had already been set. When He Xuan and the others saw the tanned He Jinan, they asked him if he was injured and what hardships he had suffered.

He Jinan was shocked by He Xuan's pregnant belly: "Is my royal sister pregnant?" He didn't mention it in his letters home in the past few months.

He Xuan smiled and nodded, looking around. "I was just busy talking to you. Where's Mo Xingzhou? Why is he nowhere to be seen?"

In the mansion of Lord Chang Yong, Mo Xingzhou banged on the door loudly as soon as he came back. He didn't even have time to greet his parents as soon as he entered the house, and ran to his own yard. However, he couldn't find He Xuan after looking around.

Butler Zhang wanted to talk to him, but he couldn't catch up with him. Finally, when he stopped, Butler Zhang came up to him, panting: "Second Young Master, why are you running so fast? I'm already fifty-three years old, and I can't stand running like this!"

Mo Xingzhou was extremely anxious: "Butler Zhang, where is the princess? Could it be that she went to the princess's mansion?"

Mo Xingzhou thought about it and it was possible. After all, if He Xuan was not used to living here when he was not around, she might move out.

Butler Zhang quickly waved his hands, "No, no, the princess has been living in the mansion since the second young master left the capital. She went to the palace early today and said she wanted to see you at the welcoming banquet."

After Butler Zhang finished speaking, he looked at him suspiciously and said, "Second Young Master, why didn't you go to the palace to pay your respects? What are you doing back home?"

Mo Xingzhou: “…”

I was so careless! I missed it!

He quickly returned to his room, took a cold shower, changed his clothes, and immediately rushed out to the palace.

When He Xuan learned that Mo Xingzhou had returned home to find her, she was speechless.

"He... didn't even know to ask, and he's still so reckless..." She stroked her bulging belly and couldn't help frowning. What should I do if my father is so reckless? It's been three years, and he's still an unstable brother.

Tao Yanyan picked up some food for He Jinan: "Did Jinan forget to remind him too?"

He Jinan blinked his eyes and said, "I wanted to say that, but he was too fast. He rode away in the blink of an eye."

Tao Yanyan looked at him suspiciously, and seeing that the child was dark and thin, he couldn't help but pick up several more pieces of meat for him.

When Mo Xingzhou entered the palace, everyone's welcoming banquet was cancelled.

"Your son greets the Emperor, Father, and the Empress." After paying his respects, Mo Xingzhou hurried to He Xuan's side. Seeing her figure, Mo Xingzhou was a little dazed.

"Husband... Madam, I haven't seen you for half a year. Have you become... fat as a ball?"

Everyone: "..."

He Xuan's face was originally filled with joy, but when she heard the word "fat", her face instantly darkened.

"Hey, brother-in-law, do you only see that my sister is fat?" He Yue said it, and immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly made up for it: "No, no, no, do you only see that my sister is plump?"

Everyone: "..."

Mo Xingzhou swallowed his saliva and said, "Haha, it's better to be rounder. It's cute when it's rounder."

He Jinan sighed, walked over and patted Mo Xingzhou's arm: "You... take care." After that, he slipped aside and moved a small stool to watch the show.

He Xuan's breathing rose and fell. She took two deep breaths and pointed at her belly and said, "My dear husband, take a good look at me. How much fatter have I become than before?" She put emphasis on the word "fat", which showed that she was very concerned.

Mo Xingzhou then took a closer look and raised his arms to hug her, only to find that he could only hug her slightly with his arms. This made her look more than just a little fatter.

He chuckled, "You're just a little rounder, don't worry, Madam. I'm back now. I'll walk with you every day to help you digest your food. You'll be back in shape soon."

He Xuan was really at her wit's end. She seriously suspected that the guy in front of her had gone to the battlefield once and left his brain there.

He Xuan's original intention of giving him a surprise when she saw him come back was gone. She sat down and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Mo Xingzhou, who was met with cold stares, asked for help from everyone, but everyone avoided his gaze as if they had agreed to do so.

Mo Xingzhou was at his wit's end. He bit his lip and said, "Madam... I'll come back to see you as soon as I get back to Beijing. I've been looking forward to seeing you day and night, but you... why are you ignoring me? Please, sister, please love me..."

Everyone: "..."

He Jinan felt goosebumps all over his body. "Father, Mother, I'm tired. I'll go back to the palace to rest. I'll take my leave!"

He Yue's face flushed. "Father, Mother, the Second Prince Consort is about to be off duty. I'm going to pick him up."

He Linzhang: “…”

The son-in-law left early, so I’ll make a note of it.

He Yanran coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I will go back to embroider."

He Yanran immediately ran away with his men.

The only people left in the hall were the angry and embarrassed He Xuan, the shameless Mo Xingzhou who was as stupid as a goose, and the emperor and empress who were watching the fun with great interest.

Tao Yanyan was worried that He Xuan might get angry and hurt herself, so she glared at Mo Xingzhou. "Xingzhou, you're twenty years old now, so you should have some common sense. If a woman gains weight over the past few months, besides eating too much, what other possible reasons could there be?"

The inspiration here should be useful.

Mo Xingzhou's brows became more serious.

"Could it be... Could it be that I have caught a disease? Sister Xuan'er, please don't scare me!" Mo Xingzhou, a tall man who was almost 1.88 meters tall, was about to break.

Tao Yanyan: "..."

Maybe his brain really was left on the battlefield.

He Xuan slammed the table and said, "I'm in good health and doing fine. Mo Xingzhou, I think you should improve your brain."

Mo Xingzhou scratched his head and looked at He Linzhang for help.

"Father... please save me!" A silent request was secretly sent to He Linzhang.

He Linzhang couldn't bear it any longer and coughed lightly: "Xingzhou, you're about to become a father."

Mo Xingzhou: “…”

He... really never thought that this was the reason!

He was completely at a loss, his expression changing from excitement to fear and then to stupidity.

"This, this, this, this, it's not written in the letter!"

He Xuan glared at him: "My belly is so obvious, how could you not imagine it?"

Mo Xingzhou quickly squatted down and looked at her with starry eyes like a puppy, his hand unconsciously stroking her belly.

"Xuan'er, thank you for your hard work!"

The young couple walked out of the palace and went home in a loving manner. Mo Xingzhou supported them all the way, as cautiously as if he was supporting the most precious treasure in the world.

Tao Yanyan held He Linzhang's hand and said, "That's great! Congratulations, Your Majesty, on becoming a grandfather."
