Chapter 285 - 219: Daily Pregnant Slacking (Part 4)

Pan Jiaojiao complained while looking over with a wronged expression.

Shen Jingxian stopped her amused expression, cleared her throat lightly, "Sister Song Yan, stop teasing Jiaojiao."

Upon hearing this, Pan Jiaojiao proudly raised her chin, while Song Yan gave her a glance with an inexplicable expression.

"Your Majesty, I heard that your morning sickness is severe, so I made some sugar pills. Taking one when you feel nauseous can help alleviate it."

Song Yan said as she handed over a White Jade Bottle, beautifully engraved with the pattern of the White Calamity Flower.

Shen Jingxian opened the bottle and took a sniff. Indeed, there was a pleasant aroma, and the vague feeling of nausea in her stomach disappeared.

"It really works!" Shen Jingxian was pleasantly surprised.

Song Yan’s eyes shimmered with a gentle light, "As long as it works for Your Majesty."

After speaking, she glanced at Pan Jiaojiao again, the meaning in her eyes was self-evident.

Pan Jiaojiao became anxious again, but she wasn’t as skilled as Song Yan in pleasing the Emperor; she only had money, sob sob sob sob sob.

Shen Jingxian could only comfort her, "The Big Gold Lock is very nice too, it holds its value."

Pan Jiaojiao’s eyes brightened again, "Right! Gold is the best!"

After speaking, Pan Jiaojiao felt something was amiss, and added, "But gold isn’t better than the Princess!"

Shen Jingxian laughed.

"Still calling her Princess, now she’s the Emperor." Song Yan casually retorted.

"Oh, it’s just a habit."

Shen Jingxian felt happy watching them bicker.

They chatted for a long time, and before leaving, Song Yan told Shen Jingxian a piece of news: Xiao Qi and the others, who went to sweep up the remnants, would be returning to court soon.

Shen Jingxian nodded her head.

Xiao Qi... Shen Jingxian’s impression of her was still that of a well-behaved and somewhat shy younger sister. It was hard to believe that such a sister was a leader in the Assassination World.

Truly amazing, truly amazing.

Song Yan also mentioned that now Shi Wang was banned by Wen Ranchen from entering the palace and was causing trouble at her residence every day.

Although Song Yan hadn’t made any requests, merely stating the fact, Shen Jingxian quickly realized who was behind it.

The relationship between Wen Ranchen and Shi Wang was peculiar; if you had to categorize it, it was love and hate.

The two of them would always get back at each other; you plot against me once, I plot against you once. Neither would cause actual harm in the end, but they could still annoy each other.

It was exactly because of this that Shen Jingxian didn’t interfere.

It seems that Shi Wang lost another round this time.

Shen Jingxian only asked Song Yan to pass a message to Shi Wang, that a fair duel between two men was something she wouldn’t interfere with, and siding with either wouldn’t be appropriate.

When Wen Ranchen returned and saw the pills in Shen Jingxian’s hand, he wore a constantly gloomy expression.

Shen Jingxian didn’t understand what was bothering him, so she ignored him.

Please, she was now a pregnant woman; only she could have a temper.

With Song Yan’s pills, Shen Jingxian finally ate a bit more that night.

After dinner, Wen Ranchen brought a warm towel for Shen Jingxian to wipe her face, applied pearl powder on her face and hands, and then brought a basin of water to wash her feet.

Shen Jingxian slowly moved over on the bed, being very careful now as her pregnancy was unstable.

Wen Ranchen squeezed Shen Jingxian’s jade-like foot and said, "I want to take a leave from court for a while to stay by your side and take care of you."

Though she had a nanny and a maid watching over, Wen Ranchen still felt uneasy.

Shen Jingxian blinked; she knew Wen Ranchen had a suspicious nature and was anxious, lacking a sense of security. He didn’t trust anything not personally handled by himself.

Especially now, with her showing signs of miscarriage and needing to stay in bed for pregnancy care, unable to do many things, requiring someone to watch over her, Wen Ranchen was even more worried.

This was the child he had been longing for, for so long.

However, this matter of not attending court seemed considerate of her, but Shen Jingxian dared not readily agree. It wasn’t a decision that could be made lightly.

Firstly, Wen Ranchen was an independent individual, and from how people still addressed him as General Wen and not Imperial Husband, it was clear. Although he married an emperor, he was not the emperor’s subordinate.

Wen Ranchen also attended court daily, maintaining the nation’s operations and the court’s balance.

It could be said that the balance between the Civil Servants and Military Officers was currently controlled by him and Song Yan. If he left the court, if he left because he wanted to care for the Emperor, how would the officials view him?

Could a man of the Emperor still command the public’s respect?

"You need rest now, and I’m afraid others won’t be as gentle if something happens." Wen Ranchen wiped Shen Jingxian’s feet, "If you start acting willful, they won’t be able to control you."

"Xian’er, right now, there’s nothing more important to me than you. Other matters, I don’t want to consider them, nor should you consider them for me."

Wen Ranchen looked up at Shen Jingxian, seeking her opinion.

Shen Jingxian had been worried, but upon hearing Wen Ranchen’s words, she felt her worries were unnecessary.

"You can do whatever you want." Shen Jingxian’s eyes curved with a smile, "That means I’ll get to see you all the time."

Wen Ranchen placed Shen Jingxian’s foot back under the blanket, his expression gentle, "Be good now."

Shen Jingxian lay straight, "Okay, I know."

Shen Jingxian was all settled in bed, but Wen Ranchen went to handle some matters before lying back down.

Warm steam emanated from Wen Ranchen’s body, and Shen Jingxian didn’t feel cold.

Wen Ranchen snuggled close and gently held Shen Jingxian, his hand cautiously moving toward her belly.

Ever since knowing Shen Jingxian was pregnant, he couldn’t help but constantly focus on her belly.

Wen Ranchen’s hand bore calluses from years of wielding a sword, and as he gently rubbed Shen Jingxian’s soft belly, it was as if he were caressing a precious treasure.

Shen Jingxian tolerated it for a while until she couldn’t anymore.

She grabbed one of Wen Ranchen’s fingers, quietly protesting, "You can’t feel anything yet, it’s not even a month."

"Hmm," Wen Ranchen responded in a low voice, "Tomorrow, I’ll first go to ask the Emperor Father for a leave, and then I’ll come back. Don’t be afraid if you don’t see me when you wake up."

Shen Jingxian thought to herself, before she slept like a log and often wouldn’t see Wen Ranchen when she woke up; back then, Wen Ranchen didn’t tell her not to be scared.

Come to think of it, the phrase Wen Ranchen had been saying the most these days was ’don’t be afraid.’

Initially, she wasn’t afraid, but Wen Ranchen’s concern had started to make her nervous.

"Got it." Shen Jingxian lay stiffly, with her big eyes open, turning to look at Wen Ranchen, "Are you scared?"

Wen Ranchen admitted frankly, "Yes, I’m very scared."

Shen Jingxian pouted, not intending to continue this topic, "What if he doesn’t like me?"

"Who?"

"Our child."

"Then we’ll toss him out, and when he starts liking you, we’ll bring him back."

"...You’re something else."

Shen Jingxian huffed, "Not talking to you anymore, I’m sleepy."

All you do all day is talk nonsense.
