The delicate cannon fodder is stunning, saving the male supporting role but getting teased instead

In the direction pointed by the villagers, Yan Heng and his friends saw from afar several villagers gathered in front of a small thatched hut, seemingly waiting to get medicine.

The small thatched hut wasn't large, its roof covered in thatch, making it seem rather shabby, but the surroundings were remarkably clean and tidy. As Yan Heng approached, he recognized Wen Rou immediately. She was wearing a long white dress, her long hair draped over her shoulders, and she was concentrating on taking the pulse of an elderly woman.

Yan Heng was about to walk over when he was shocked to find that Wenrou's belly was slightly bulging, clearly pregnant! This discovery made Yan Heng stop in his tracks, and countless thoughts suddenly flooded his mind. He couldn't understand why Wenrou was already pregnant and married after just a few months of not seeing her.

Yan Heng stood there quietly, his emotions extremely complicated. He didn't understand. Didn't Wenrou ever love him? Why could she marry someone else so easily?

Yan Heng silently watched Wenrou, his heart filled with conflict and pain. On the one hand, he hoped Wenrou could live a happy life; on the other, he found it hard to accept this reality. He had thought he could face it all calmly, but when he saw Wenrou was pregnant, the waves in his heart could not be calmed.

However, at this moment, Wenrou suddenly raised her head and her eyes met Yan Heng's. Her eyes widened in disbelief. Obviously, she had not expected to see Yan Heng here.

Seeing this, Yan Heng took a deep breath, then strode towards Wenrou, his eyes cold and questioning, and said, "How long have you been away from me, and you're getting married?" His voice was cold, as if suppressing endless anger and disappointment.

Wenrou blinked in confusion, then glanced at her belly with sudden realization. She opened her mouth, but instead of answering Yan Heng's question, she asked, "How did His Highness find us here?" In Wenrou's opinion, Yan Heng and she had only had a relationship by accident, which might have been the reason for her escape. Wenrou asked herself, she actually liked Yan Heng; after all, he was an extremely outstanding person. However, she could not accept the thought of being Yan Heng's concubine due to a misunderstanding, and sharing his love with other women in the future. Instead of this, she would rather stay away from Yan Heng and live her own life.

Seeing that Wenrou had no intention of explaining, Yan Heng gritted his teeth and said, "Can he be your lifelong companion?"

Before Wenrou could say anything, the patients nearby couldn't stand it anymore and started to defend Wenrou.

"What's wrong with you? Wenrou's hometown was hit by a flood, she lost her husband, and she's pregnant. It's already very difficult!"

Yan Heng was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was just a lie Wenrou had made up to fend off the villagers. Suddenly, he realized that Wenrou's belly looked like she was five or six months pregnant. Calculating the time, that was the same as the time since they had sex.

Yan Heng was completely excited. He held Wenrou's shoulders and asked eagerly, "Is this my child?"

Wenrou hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

Yan Heng laughed a few times, almost dancing with excitement. He had thought he would never have children in his lifetime. But he never expected that the woman he loved would be pregnant with his child.

"Wenrou, come back to the palace with me. You want a lifelong companion. I'll give it to you." Yan Heng said, looking at Wenrou affectionately. Yan Heng had never been interested in women and didn't have many thoughts about them, but for Wenrou, he didn't want her to leave him no matter what. Only when he was with Wenrou did he feel that he was not a prince or an emperor, but an ordinary person.

Wenrou stared at Yan Heng with eyes wide open in disbelief. When she realized that he was serious, she was deeply moved. She nodded, willing to give Yan Heng a chance.

However, Yan Heng did not take Wenrou back to the palace immediately, but sent her to her grandfather. He told him that he wanted to make Wenrou the queen. He hoped to create an identity for Wenrou through her grandfather. Otherwise, with Wenrou's current family background, she would face many obstacles in becoming the queen.

The Prime Minister naturally tried to dissuade Yan Heng from doing this, but Yan Heng had already made up his mind and no one could change his decision. In desperation, the Prime Minister could only ask his daughter-in-law to recognize Wen Rou as her niece. Wen Rou was deeply moved by Yan Heng's good intentions and did not refuse.

Not long after, Yan Heng proposed the idea of establishing a queen to all the officials in the court, which made everyone very excited. However, before they could be happy for long, they discovered that the emperor had already chosen the queen and was just waiting to bring her into the palace.

However, in the eyes of the public, as long as Yan Heng is willing to open a harem, then adding new people to it in the future is only a matter of time. After all, the position of queen is not something that ordinary people can hold firmly.

Since the new emperor's child was about to be born, the ceremony of enthroning the empress had to be completed before the child was born. Therefore, the entire palace began to bustle with preparations for this grand ceremony. The people in the palace were extremely busy, and everyone was preparing for this ceremony with all their heart and soul.

Meanwhile, Wenrou was the most relaxed and carefree person. Because she was pregnant, Yan Heng took her into the palace and cared for her meticulously, unwilling to let her do any heavy work. The ceremony of enthroning the empress went exceptionally smoothly, thanks to Yan Heng's careful attention.

After being made empress, Wenrou didn't live in Qifeng Palace, but instead lived near Yanheng's bedroom. Yanheng also enjoyed living with Wenrou in the palace like an ordinary couple after court. Sometimes, Wenrou took care of Yanheng's food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

Seeing that the queen was pregnant, the officials did not dare to bring bad luck at this time, so they temporarily gave up the idea of letting Yan Heng expand his harem. Yan Heng was happy and relaxed, and lived his life steadily and gently.

Because of her pregnancy, Wenrou had a poor appetite, so she made some small desserts every day. Unexpectedly, Yan Heng also liked them. He put the dessert in his mouth and felt it melt in his mouth. He couldn't help but say, "Rou Rou, I've never seen you make these novel things before. It turns out that you were just lazy in the East Palace." The East Palace also had a small kitchen, but Yan Heng knew the situation at that time. People in the palace were bullying others and it was impossible for Wenrou to find ingredients to make desserts.

Wenrou pouted and said, "Your Highness, you don't know that I was fighting wits and courage with the steward of the imperial kitchen every day for you, just to get more meat."

Yan Heng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. He reached out and gently touched the soft hair, and said softly: "That's really hard for you. Now, no one can stop you from eating as much meat as you want."

Wenrou was about to answer when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach, causing her to clutch her hands and scream. Yan Heng was startled when he saw this, and he quickly stood up and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Is your stomach upset?"

Wenrou bit her lips tightly, her face as pale as paper, a layer of fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead. She spoke with difficulty: "Your Highness... Your Highness, I... I might be giving birth..."
