Pang Xiao walked in front with his hands clasped behind his back. Huzi followed behind him and said in a low voice, "We just received news that Your Majesty has conferred the title of Zhong Yibo to Second Master Lu. The imperial edict was just sent to the Lu Family. "
Pang Xiao did not show any surprise on his face. When he thought of Lu Heng's expression and attitude when he saw him today, it was as if he already had this premonition in his heart.
He was not very familiar with Lu Heng, and they were rivals in love. Therefore, other than lamenting that there were no eternal feelings between people, only eternal interests, he did not have any other emotions.
However, when he thought that Qin Yining might be troubled by this matter, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Seeing Pang Xiao frown, Huzi carefully asked, "Master, should we tell the Princess Consort about this?"
Pang Xiao raised his eyebrows. Seeing Huzi's clever appearance, he couldn't help but smile, "What do you think?"
"If it were up to me, of course we would tell her. The Princess Consort is not someone who thinks too much about an insignificant problem. She can see through everything. Moreover, if she doesn't know about this matter, she might still think of them as friends. If she is careless and says something, it would be bad. "
"You are so clever." Pang Xiao smiled and said, "Go watch outside. Didn't Yin Li and the others say that they are coming today?"
Huzi smiled and nodded in agreement. Then he smiled and said, "This time, it is all thanks to Prince Consort Ji. If it weren't for him, Yin Li, Cao Heming, and the others would still be tied up in the Tiger Army. The higher-ups would think that they are in the way and would not put them in an important position. They would not have a chance to do their best. If they lost their official positions and regained their freedom to work by your side, we would be able to be like before. "
Pang Xiao nodded and waved his hand for Huzi to go pick them up.
Thinking of Ji Zeyu's arrangements that day, Pang Xiao felt very grateful.
Ji Zeyu was a smart man. At critical moments, he could always use all kinds of conditions to create a chance for himself. This time, Ji Zeyu was put under "house arrest" by Yin Li and the other five. Not only did he successfully get past Li Qitian, but he also got his six trusted subordinates back to work for him. Now, he had another capable subordinate who could help him with his work.
However, she had not seen Ji Zeyu for a while and did not know how he was doing.
By the time Pang Xiao returned to the courtyard, Qin Yining's figure was nowhere to be seen. Pang Xiao went straight into the room.
Qin Yining was leaning against a large, soft pillow on a soft couch. He was lazily flipping through a book. When he saw Pang Xiao return, he smiled and said, "Why did Huzi look for you just now?"
"They were my six subordinates when I was serving in the Tiger Army. Now that they have been removed from their positions, I have an appointment to meet them today."
Qin Yining smiled and said, "This is good too. They can only be trusted by your side and can be put in important positions. In front of Your Majesty, Your Majesty has to guard against them causing trouble, so he can't entrust them with important tasks. Now that both sides are not delayed, it is quite good.
”
"I think so too."
Pang Xiao sat down next to Qin Yining. He put on his shoes and leaned sideways beside her. His large hand gently covered Qin Yining's bulging abdomen. He felt the little guy inside kick him. Even though it was not the first time he felt the vigorous vitality, Pang Xiao still felt surprised and curious.
"Sister Yi, he kicked me again."
Qin Yining smiled and nodded. He said, "I still have something to tell you."
"Tell me," Pang Xiao said seriously. "Tell me everything. I will help you."
Qin Yining smiled and said, "When Bing Tang diagnosed me earlier, he found something. However, he couldn't see my pulse clearly, so he couldn't be sure. When grandma went back, Bing Tang checked my pulse again and confirmed it. "
When he heard that it was related to Qin Yining's health, Pang Xiao's expression became unprecedentedly serious. "What's going on? Can I ask Bing Tang to tell you? "
"No need. I want to tell you this news myself." Qin Yining looked at Pang Xiao with a smile. His watery eyes seemed to contain rippling waves. The smile on his lips was so soft and gentle that it could make people indulge in it. "Bing Tang said that the babies in my belly might be twins."
Pang Xiao was stunned when he heard this. Then, a smile gradually climbed to the corners of his eyes. His almond-shaped eyes widened. He lowered his head and looked at Qin Yining's belly in disbelief. He carefully touched it. "Really? Twins? "
"Yes." Qin Yining also held his belly in satisfaction. "I also want to ask you. Have any of your ancestors or close relatives ever had twins?"
Pang Xiao thought for a moment. "I really don't know. Grandma's family probably doesn't have twins. As for the Pang family, the situation is even more complicated. But who cares? It's good to have twins. It saves a lot of trouble. One birth is better than two births. "
Pang Xiao leaned on the edge of the bed childishly. The side of his face was pressed against Qin Yining's belly. He listened to the lively fetal movement and said with a smile, "No wonder I was wondering why this child was so lively. It turns out that they are brothers. They take turns to play."
"Yes." Qin Yining lowered her head and looked at her increasingly round belly. She felt that things in this world were really magical. She didn't expect that she would be a mother soon.
Pang Xiao leaned in front of Qin Yining and kissed her cheek. Then, he held her in his arms and sniffed and kissed her ears and neck like a puppy.
"Sister Yi, you are so good!"
Qin Yining was tickled by his hot breath and the light pecks on her lips. She twisted her body and smiled to avoid him. "Stop fooling around."
"I'm not fooling around." Pang Xiao leaned his face against her delicate shoulder and looked at her side profile. "I am really too happy and blessed. I heard that the Empress is pregnant now and Your Majesty is very happy. Now, it seems that he is not as happy as I am because my wife is much better than his wife. "
Qin Yining blushed and rolled her eyes at him. It turned out that men also had the desire to compete with each other?
"Don't be too proud. It's fine if only we know about this. I don't plan to ask my mother. My father and mother are living with Qin Yining now. Although Qin Yining seems to be well-behaved, I don't trust her character. If my mother is happy, she often speaks without thinking. If the news of Qin Yining reaches the ears of the old madam and the others, this matter will be publicized.
"The situation in the imperial court is tense now. Your Majesty and the Empress are very happy about being pregnant. If they hear that I am pregnant with two children at once, wouldn't they be angered to death? It wouldn't be good to attract disaster.
"It's fine if you only tell Grandmother. You don't need to tell the others first. When the children are born at the end of the year, they will naturally know."
Qin Yining gently pinched Pang Xiao's high nose. Her soft and slightly cold fingertips still carried a faint jasmine fragrance, causing Pang Xiao to chase after her finger and lightly bite it.
"I know. It's good that this matter doesn't spread. " Thinking of Yao Chenggu and the Yao Clan's attitude towards Qin Yining these past two months, Pang Xiao's heart felt heavy. His previous carefree mood also disappeared.
He sighed and hugged the person in his arms. He gently patted her back and said gently: "It's been hard on you these past few days. I know that my grandfather and mother's attitude is not right. If you see them, you just have to avoid them. I will also pay attention. Whenever they want to make things difficult for you, if I'm not home, you just have to ask Grandmother to help you. "
Qin Yining smiled, "I'm not a soft persimmon that can be easily bullied. Also, not only can I ask Grandmother to help me, my father is also home."
Pang Xiao sighed again.
If Qin Yining went to the Qin Family, the conflict hidden under the calm surface would be torn apart. But Pang Xiao would not let Qin Yining suffer because of this. She was the one who was wronged. Could he stop her from complaining to her family?
Qin Yining leaned on Pang Xiao's shoulder. She held his slender hand in hers and used her fingertips to rub the calluses in his palm.
"I'm just teasing you. Now that our families are living under the same roof, I have to think about how to get along in the future. Don't worry, I don't want to cause trouble at home. Also, you know my father's personality. He's used to dealing with these things. "
Pang Xiao said, "I know all this. I just feel that you've been wronged. My mother … "
"Wang Ye, Princess Consort." Bing Tang walked in nervously from outside the door and gave Qin Yining a look, "Old Madam is here."
Qin Yining blinked in surprise.
The Yao Clan was grounded by Madam Ma, and Qin Yining had been quiet for two months. Was she released now?
Pang Xiao patted Qin Yining's hand, stood up, and said, "Don't get up. I'll go and welcome Mother in."
Qin Yining nodded. After some hesitation, she waved at Bing Tang and Ji Yun.
The two of them came over to help Qin Yining up and helped her put on the soft-soled embroidered shoes in the room.
Ji Yun said in a low voice, "Didn't Wang Ye say that you should rest well and not get up?"
Without waiting for Qin Yining to answer, Bing Tang said, "If we really don't get up, it'll be troublesome if Old Madam sees us. We'd rather be a little tired than let Old Madam find fault with us. "
Qin Yining chuckled, "What the two of you said happened to be what I was thinking just now. One question, one answer. That's how I answered my own question just now."
Ji Yun and Bing Tang couldn't help but laugh when they heard that.
In front of the door, Pang Xiao saw the Yao Clan's Xun He and Mi He walking over slowly. She went up to them and bowed, "Mother, you're here."
Pang Xiao's etiquette was thorough, but in the eyes of the Yao Clan, Pang Xiao felt that she was being estranged from them.
Thinking about how she had been locked up in the wing room for the past two months and how the people outside talked about her, Yao Clan was so angry that the roots of her teeth itched. She couldn't bear a grudge against her mother and couldn't do anything to Madam Ma, so she blamed all her anger on Qin Yining.
Yao Clan nodded faintly and said, "Where's your wife? I haven't seen her for two months. I miss her. "
At this time, Qin Yining had already walked to the corridor with Bing Tang and Ji Yun's hands. When she heard Yao Clan's voice, she held her stomach and walked closer. She bent her knees and said, "Old Madam."
When Yao Clan heard how she addressed her, the anger in her heart surged. However, her smile became more sincere and gentle. She went forward and held Qin Yining's hands. She looked at her stomach and said, "Aiyo, you're five months pregnant, right?"
Qin Yining smiled and nodded, "Yes, Old Madam."
