Hearing this, Jiang Wange was not polite at all. Just like Xiahou Xuan said, all he had to do was open his mouth.

"I want to eat lotus root."

Xiahou Xuan immediately put several pieces of lotus root into the stove.

"Why aren't you ready yet? I'm so hungry..."

"It's just been put down. You need to wait a while. Eat some vegetables first? This is ready."

Xiahou Xuan coaxed softly, then took out a few pieces of green vegetables from the stove and fed them to Jiang Wange.

Jiang Wange looked reluctant, but still opened his mouth and ate the vegetables obediently.

Xiahou Xuan quickly put some meat slices into the stove and took them out immediately after they were cooked.

Jiang Wange suddenly felt as if she was being raised like a child by Xiahou Xuan, but both she and Xiahou Xuan were quite happy with it.

Jiang Wange ate until his belly was full and he was satisfied.

"Your Majesty, please don't feed me naked. Eat too. I'm full."

Jiang Wange was about to get off Xiahou Xuan's legs as she spoke, but he wouldn't let her.

"You turned your face and didn't recognize me after you were full? I just want to hold you like this so that it won't affect my meal."

"I'm too heavy...if your legs get numb from the pressure, don't blame me."

Jiang Wange already had one in his stomach, and now he was full. He weighed nearly 100 pounds, so the weight of the baby sitting on his lap was a bit heavy.

"I think you are too thin. You don't look like a pregnant woman at all. I have seen other pregnant women with round bodies, but you have slender limbs and a tummy that isn't bulging."

Xiahou Xuan said with concern, he was really worried that it would be difficult for Jiang Wange to be pregnant.

"It's only three months. I should be fat in four or five months. Your Majesty will dislike me for being fat by then."

"You gave birth to my children, and I dislike your fatness. Am I still a human being?"

Xiahou Xuan retorted with great disdain that in his eyes, Wanwan was beautiful and cute no matter how fat she was, and he would like her.

Jiang Wange was happy to hear him say that, so she just sat on his lap until he finished eating. Then they moved to the bed.

"It's cool today, so there's no need to take a bath. Let's just stay like this."

"Well, Your Majesty, please stop talking. I'm sleepy..."

Jiang Wange started to feel sleepy as soon as he had eaten. Now he lay down on the bed and was about to fall asleep in a daze.

Xiahou Xuan had a helpless look on his face. He hugged the person without saying anything. After a while, he could hear the even breathing of the person in his arms.

"What a little pig, he just goes to sleep after eating."

"Well....."

"Okay, okay, don't make a fuss. I was wrong. You are not a pig. Continue to sleep. Be a good boy—"

Seeing Jiang Wange humming in dissatisfaction, Xiahou Xuan quickly admitted his mistake and continued to pat her back to coax her to sleep.

On the other hand, after seeing Jiang Wange looking uncomfortable, Xia Qingqian went back and thought for a long time.

You are not feeling well, but you don't want to see a doctor. Is there something you are hiding?

"Miss, what are you thinking about?"

"Rou'er, what disease can a woman get, but she doesn't want others to know about it?"

"That should be a disease of a more private part. Women are mostly reserved. If they are sick there, they probably don't want others to know." When Rou'er heard her young lady asking the question, she thought about it seriously and then answered.

Xia Qingqian also thought it made sense, she thought so too.

When she was still in her boudoir, she heard from an experienced nanny that after a woman gets married, she will always feel uncomfortable here and there, but it is not convenient for her to let others know, so she can only see a doctor in private and get the illness cured.

I think Jiang Wange might have the same disease.

Thinking of this, Xia Qingqian couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Jiang Wange.

No wonder His Majesty has been staying in Fengming Palace these days but never let Jiang Wange sleep with him. So that's how it is. Everything makes sense now.

Xiahou Xuan and Jiang Wange had no idea that they had become such people in Xia Qingqian's eyes.

Jiang Wanyi still went to the palace with Wen Yilan every day. When Wen Yilan went to the Imperial Hospital to be on duty, she walked to Fengming Palace alone.

Jiang Wange's pregnancy signs were becoming more and more obvious, and Jiang Wanyi discovered that she was pregnant when he took her pulse.

"Have you not been eating or sleeping well these days?"

Jiang Wanyi could tell Jiang Wange's situation at a glance and asked with concern.

"Well, I'm always retching and can't eat. It feels a bit uncomfortable." Jiang Wange said dejectedly.

Hearing this, Jiang Wanyi had no way to relieve her discomfort:

"You will feel much better after this period of time. You can eat some sour apricots to relieve the discomfort. I will bring you some from outside the palace tomorrow. I'm afraid there is no sour apricots in the palace."

Hearing Jiang Wanyi talking about sour apricots, Jiang Wange couldn't help swallowing.

"You're making me hungry. You must remember to bring some in for me tomorrow."

Jiang Wanyi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll remember to bring it to you."

"My lady, Miss Xia is here again."

Yu Jin came in to report.

If it were usual, Jiang Wange would have asked Yu Jin to bring Xia Qingqian in directly, but things are different now.

"Go tell Xia Qingqian that I'm not feeling well and won't be seeing guests in the near future. Let her go back."

She now feels nauseous from time to time. If it happens too often, Xia Qingqian will definitely notice something is wrong. When she tells the Queen Mother, she will not let it go when she knows that she is pregnant with Xiahou Xuan's first child.

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin immediately returned and rejected Xia Qingqian's visit.

Xia Qingqian was not angry. She left a food box and turned away.

"Why does Xia Qingqian come to see you every day? Are you good friends in private?" Jiang Wanyi couldn't help but ask.

"We can't say we are good friends, but she always brings me delicious food. I can't just ignore her, after all, she is someone close to the Queen Mother." Jiang Wange sighed, feeling helpless.

Hearing what Jiang Wange said, Jiang Wanyi probably understood something, and then said:

"I have heard some interesting rumors about this Miss Xia outside the palace."

Hearing about the melon, Jiang Wange's eyes lit up, he put down the herbs in his hand, and immediately cast a scorching gaze:

"Tell me!"

"I heard that Xia Qingqian had been engaged to a young man before, and the marriage was almost settled, but the young man suddenly died, and the matter was left unresolved. Not long after, Xia Qingqian entered the palace to serve the Queen Mother."

"Is there such a thing? That's quite strange. Please help me find out which family the young man who is going to marry is from."

Jiang Wange rolled his eyes and seemed to have thought of something, so he asked Jiang Wanyi for help.

"That's easy. I'll go back and find out for you. Xia Qingqian's goal is very clear, which is to enter the palace as a concubine. She was rejected by the Queen Mother's birthday banquet before, and now she may be planning something bad. You'd better be careful, or you won't know what Xia Qingqian is plotting against you."

Jiang Wanyi felt that Jiang Wange was only thinking about food all day long and had no idea about these intrigues. Sometimes she felt anxious when she saw this.

With her temper, how can she survive in the palace?
