The news of Zhao Ning's pregnancy soon reached Mo Rongyi's ears. He was originally accompanying Cheng Zheng to the hunting ground. When he heard the news, he was so happy that he almost fell off his horse.
"A 'Ning is pregnant, A' Ning is pregnant!" Mo Rongyi shouted to Cheng Zheng.
Cheng Zheng looked at him expressionlessly, inexplicably feeling a little jealous.
"Marquis, I won't accompany you. I have to go to the palace to pick up A 'Ning." Mo Rongyi didn't care about hospitality. He just wanted to find Zhao Ning and take her back to the palace to raise her well.
"I'll go with you." He was going to pick up Zhao Rao and have a good chat with her about life. He was not young anymore. Others at his age were already fathers, but he could only kiss his wife's lips.
Looking at Mo Rongyi's idiot-like smile, Cheng Zheng's hands itched to hit him.
Zhao Ning rested for a while in the side hall. After drinking some medicine, she felt much better. Worried that Zhao Rao would say something to the Empress, she hurried to the main hall.
"Why don't you have a good rest?" Seeing Zhao Ning come back, Ye Zhen asked with a smile.
Zhao Ning looked at Zhao Rao and said with a smile, "I feel much better."
"Why, are you afraid that I will ask the Empress to take you back?" Zhao Rao raised her eyebrows and looked at her sister. She knew very well why Zhao Ning was in such a hurry to come back.
"No." Zhao Ning smiled awkwardly. "I have already taken the medicine and feel much better."
Ye Zhen smiled, "I have sent someone to tell A 'Yi. He will be so happy that he will go crazy."
Zhao Ning's cheeks were slightly red. Imagining Mo Rongyi's expression when he heard the news, he might be really happy.
"Your Highness, it's getting late. We will leave first." Zhao Ning said, afraid that Zhao Rao would say more to make the Empress unhappy.
"Well, you are pregnant, I will not keep you any longer." Ye Zhen said with a smile, looking at Zhao Rao. "When the First Princess is in the capital, you can often take the Third Prince to the palace to play."
Zhao Rao looked at the Third Prince, "Well, then many thanks to the Empress."
She could roughly guess Zhao Yong's expectations of the Third Prince. If the Third Prince could have a better relationship with the Jin Crown Prince, it would be beneficial to the future of Qi.
No matter how she comforted herself, she could not change the fact that her Imperial Father was seriously ill. What's more, she could not change the fact that … no matter which prince it was, none of them could compare to her Imperial Father's ability.
Zhao Ning and Zhao Rao left the Yong Shou Palace. Not long after, they saw Mo Rongyi rushing towards them.
After being married for so many years, even if they weren't an old couple, they were still very familiar with each other. Seeing the nervousness and joy on Mo Rongyi's face, Zhao Ning's heartbeat inexplicably quickened.
"A Ning!" When Mo Rongyi saw Zhao Ning, he immediately quickened his steps and came in front of her. He nervously pinched his fingers. He wanted to hug her, but he was afraid of hurting her. He was at a loss of what to do.
"What do you want?" Although Zhao Ning's heart was racing, his face was still cold.
Mo Rongyi stared at her belly with a burning gaze. "Sister-in-law Empress sent someone to tell me that you … you are pregnant."
"So what if I did?" Zhao Ning asked snappily.
"I … I'll carry you back." Mo Rongyi said, treating Zhao Ning like a porcelain doll. He wanted to hold her in his hands and raise her.
Zhao Ning looked at him in amusement. "It's not like I can't walk myself."
"Then … Then I'll hold your hand." Mo Rongyi grinned. He didn't know how to describe his feelings. This was the child he had been looking forward to for a long time. It was his and Zhao Ning's child. The heavens were really good to him.
"It's not the first time I've had a child." Zhao Rao said coldly. "Why did I hear that your highness's maid also had a child before?"
Mo Rongyi's expression changed. He looked at Zhao Ning nervously. "Eldest Princess, that maid has already been sent away. Other than A Ning, no other woman will give birth to this prince's child."
Zhao Rao wanted to say a few more words, but she saw Zhao Ning looking at her with a pleading expression. She could only give up.
"A Ning, I'll send you back." Mo Rongyi found that his wife still cared for him. He couldn't help but smile happily.
"Aren't you with the Marquis of Anning?" Zhao Ning asked.
Mo Rongyi said embarrassedly, "The Marquis of Anning is outside the palace gates. I'll come to the palace to pick you up."
Zhao Ning gave a light hmph. Her heart was filled with sweetness because of his thoughtfulness.
Outside the palace gates, Mo Rongyi carefully helped Zhao Ning onto the carriage. He turned back to look at Zhao Rao. He was still apprehensive towards this Eldest Princess.
Now that Zhao Ning was pregnant, Zhao Rao probably wouldn't keep thinking about bringing her back to the State of Qi.
"Send A Ning and Third Brother back first." Zhao Rao said. She still had things to discuss with Cheng Zheng.
Mo Rongyi couldn't have asked for more. "Eldest Princess, we'll go back first."
"It looks like you won't be able to bring your sister back." Cheng Zheng looked at the carriage that was slowly disappearing into the distance. He looked at Zhao Rao with a smile that wasn't a smile.
"I knew when I saw A Ning. She hasn't given up on Mo Rongyi." Zhao Rao gave a cold hmph. She had never thought about bringing Zhao Ning back to the State of Qi.
Cheng Zheng looked at her calmly. "Mo Rongyi has already treated Zhao Ning well."
Indeed, whether it was from a woman's or a man's point of view, Mo Rongyi had treated Zhao Ning very well. It was as if she was in the palm of his hand and in the mouth of his mouth. Moreover, he didn't hesitate to send the two maids away.
"I have also treated you very well." Cheng Zheng said calmly. Mo Rongyi was younger than him by a few years and was about to become a father. Yet, he still hadn't married a wife.
Zhao Rao turned her head and looked at Cheng Zheng. She glared at him. "Don't tell me you have a maid in your house?"
"I don't have a maid in my house. Don't tell me you don't know?" Cheng Zheng asked in a sinister tone. He couldn't hold it in any longer. She still suspected that he had another woman?
"You are the one who can't marry me. What does that have to do with me?" Zhao Rao pouted. She didn't say that she wouldn't marry him. It was just that her identity didn't allow her to.
This was his own problem. It had nothing to do with her.
Cheng Zheng looked at her calmly. "When I return to the State of Qi, I will propose to the Emperor."
Did this mean that he was prepared to return to his original identity?
"Then how do you intend to tell grandfather?" Zhao Ning asked in a low voice.
"To tell the truth." Cheng Zheng said. "The sooner I marry you, the sooner I can start a family."
"…" Zhao Rao rolled her eyes. Wasn't she thinking a little too much?
Cheng Zheng held her hand. "When are we going back? Zhao Ning and Mo Rongyi are fine now. There's no need for us to stay here. "
Zhao Rao said. "The Heavenly Consort asked me to bring third brother to the palace often. I intend to enter the palace again in two days. It's not a bad idea to let third brother establish a friendship with the future Crown Prince of the Jin Kingdom."
"You have treated that kid really well." Cheng Zheng said coldly.
"I have treated you very well too." Zhao Rao smiled.
