White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

The news of the princess's pregnancy spread, and Chang'an Street was bustling again for a while.

The continuous stream of rewards from the imperial palace was sent to the eastern palace like flowing water.

Even with the Wen family, they were rewarded generously.

Wen Ning expected that Emperor Jiahe would be happy, but she didn't expect such a battle.

Pei You was indifferent.

Although now he would call "Father Emperor" and "Mother Empress", the relationship between him and Emperor Jiahe and Empress did not seem to be any closer than before.

Probably he is a person whose kinship is only superficial.

After the news of her pregnancy was released, Wen Ning ordered someone to pick up the Wang couple.

In fact, after she returned to the East Palace from Yanmen Pass, she had sent someone to pick it up once.

But at that time, the news that Pei Youyuan was the crown prince had spread all over the country. I wondered if he was worried that he would cause trouble for Pei You and rejected the proposal to come to Beijing.

This time Wen Ning only asked the person who picked her up to bring a sentence: "The Crown Princess misses Madam's soup."

Sure enough, after more than half a month, he received news that he had returned to Beijing with his wife.

Wen Ning was both happy and excited.

It has been four years since Jiahe 14 years ago.

When I sent the Wangs away back then, I couldn't imagine the current situation even if I killed them.

In July, Wen Ning's stomach finally gained a little bit of size, although it looked... It still looked like she had gained weight.

On July [-]th, Wen Ning could firmly remember this day.

Jiahe's 18th July, [-]th, was the day when she and Pei You got married for three years, and it was also the day when they agreed to reconcile and leave before they got married.

This day Wen Ning specially leaned in the rattan chair and waited for Pei You to come back.

The first thing I say when I see someone is: "Didn't you say you're reconciling? Let's go, have you figured out which yamen to go to?"

Standing in the courtyard, Pei You was dressed in thin summer clothes, making her taller and taller. She raised her eyebrows slightly: "Li, why don't you leave? You go with me."

Recently, he returned earlier day by day, it was the time when the yamen was not yet on duty.

The weather is hot, and now Wen Ning is under full surveillance again, and hasn't gone out for a long time.

Seeing that Pei You was going to take her out, she went out excitedly.

Pei You didn't do anything else.

So I took her to Chang'an Avenue to eat a bowl of ice.

It was a very hot day, she was not afraid of heat, and she didn't know if she was pregnant, so she felt like being in a stove all day long.

But in the entire East Palace, no one dared to give her a bite of ice.

Let alone ice, she was not even allowed to drink a sip of cold water.

"Are you still leaving?"

Pei You knocked on her empty bowl.

Wen Ning grinned refreshedly: "Never leave, never leave."

After leaving, I will never find a husband who treats her so well!

At the end of July, the Wangs finally arrived in Beijing.

Pei You directly took him into the East Palace and lived in a palace next to Lanhua Palace.

Not seeing each other for many years, Mrs. Wang is still so gentle and beautiful, her eyes wet when she saw the two of them.Wang Fu's hair and beard were much whiter, and he was about to salute when he saw someone, but Pei You pulled him up.

Then Pei You and Wang Fu went to the study, and Wen Ning brought Mrs. Wang to Lanhua Hall.

"It turns out that he arranged for you to settle in Jiangnan?"

It was only at this time that Wen Ning knew that Pei You knew that the Wangs and his wife were not buried in the flames, and even found out their whereabouts long ago.

No wonder he wasn't surprised when she told him about it.

Seeing Wen Ning's unexpected appearance, Mrs. Wang was worried that it would add trouble to the two of them: "This child has always been thoughtful, and he doesn't like to talk to others about anything. If you keep it from you, don't blame him."

Wen Ning shook her head.

There is nothing strange about it.

The former Pei You had no reason to talk to her about this.

Even if the two of them got in touch later, there was no need to dig to the bottom and shake off all the old things so clearly.

He had known about this earlier, and he had spared the suffering for a long time. It was too late for her to be happy.

When the Wang couple came, the East Palace suddenly felt a little more tender.

Madam Wang really came to make soup for her, and she gave it to her every now and then without repeating the same.

Wen Ning really didn't dare to eat more.

It's only been a few months, and my stomach hasn't grown much, and I'm getting chubby now, so Pei You stopped pinching her waist, and pinched her face instead.

With Mrs. Wang's company, the two of them did needlework together, not only the progress was much faster, but they also chatted about Pei You's childhood fun while doing it, and Lanhuadian laughed and laughed all day long.

In August, another happy event came.

He Luan is also pregnant.

On the second day after receiving the news, Wen Ning hurriedly urged Pei You to go back to Wen Mansion with her.

It couldn't be better this time, the two got married at the beginning, and now they have a baby within two months.

The only pity is...

"I thought I could ask my sister-in-law to deliver the baby at that time." Wen Ning trusted He Luan's medical skills the most, "It looks like it won't work."

"I can go to see a doctor, but I'm not very experienced in delivering babies." He Luan felt no regrets, "Don't worry, Ah Ning, I will go into the delivery room to watch you."

"Speaking of which, I have another thing that I'm good at."

Pei You was with Wen Tingchun and his two elder brothers, only Wen Ning and He Luan were in the East Wing.

He Luan gently leaned into Wen Ning's ear and said, "I'm very good at feeling men and women, do you want me to touch them for you in advance?"

After all, there is a layer of belly between them, ordinary doctors would not speak lightly of men and women, and He Luan never said so when he was seeing a doctor outside.

But she would jot down her conclusions and see her aim later.

Never missed.

Wen Ning was really moved.

But that's all.

"Forget it, whether it's a man or a woman, I have everything ready, so let's leave a surprise!"

Whether it's a man or a woman, both she and Pei You will love it.

In August, Wen Ning was nearly five months pregnant, and her belly bulge was much more obvious than before.

More importantly, she could occasionally feel that little life moving.

Like a feather, it gently scratches over and over again.

The first time Wen Ning thought it was her illusion, but the second time, she couldn't help shouting at Pei You who was in front of the table: "Pei You, Pei You! He...he's moving!"

Unless there is something important, Pei You doesn't go to the meeting hall, and spends most of her time in Lanhua Hall to accompany her.

Hearing this, he was stunned: "Can he still move?"

"Of course it will move, he is not a rock!"

It was rare that Pei You didn't understand, Wen Ning said again: "It is said that he can hear what we said!"

Pei You raised her eyebrows, put down the scroll, and knelt down beside her.

He tapped her belly directly: "You son of a bitch, give your father a look."

Wen Ning: "..."

kicked him away.

Only a few days into August, autumn is here, and the capital is finally getting cooler.

This day, Duan Rushuang came to see her specially.

The business in Beijing has long been entrusted to her. Without the Xuanping Rebellion in this life, Duan Rushuang's business is flourishing even more.

But this time, Duan Rushuang didn't talk about business, but rarely mentioned Wen Qi.

"Sister Wen, the second son has proposed to me."

What she said so plainly made Wen Ning sit up suddenly in shock, almost pulling her stomach.

"Ask for marriage? He will still ask for marriage? How do you ask?!"

Duan Rushuang didn't hold back: "He asked me if I would marry him, but I didn't answer. On the second day, he asked a matchmaker to come to my house and propose marriage to my mother."

"and then?!"

"My mother is still asking me what I think."

"And what are your thoughts?"

Although it is autumn, the sun is still a little strong during the day, and the two are in the gazebo.

Wen Ning was half lying on the wicker chair, but now she was sitting upright, while Duan Rushuang was sitting on the stone chair, and now she rested her chin and sighed.

"Sister Wen, to be honest with you, after worrying about gains and losses in the first few months, I think love affairs are very troublesome, and it is far less free and easy than doing business."

"But last time the Second Young Master was injured, I knew that I really cared about him."

"Now I am in a dilemma as sister Wen was before."

Will Rushuang's sister also have times of entanglement and hesitation?

Just as Wen Ning was about to comfort her, Duan Rushuang said again: "Actually, I care more about the friendship with Sister Wen than the relationship between a man and a woman."

"The second son is your brother after all, sister Wen, if I fail with the second son, will you hold grudges against me?"

"Of course not." Wen Ning said almost without hesitation, "He is him, and I am me. It was because I met you first, and if he couldn't please you, it must be because he is not good enough and not worthy of you." I am like Sister Shuang."

Duan Rushuang smiled, and there were tears in her clear eyes.

"I see. Sister Wen, you are good at giving birth, and I can just leave the outside things to me. "

After Duan Rushuang left, Wen Ning was still a little melancholy.

According to what she said, she might be rejecting Wen Qi.

Her poor second brother, I'm afraid he's going to turn into an old man.

In the evening, Wen Ning told Pei You about this, and Pei You took a sip of tea leisurely: "That's not necessarily the case."

"If you didn't want to refuse, why did Sister Rushuang come here and ask me like that?"

Pei You didn't refute, just said: "You must have underestimated your second brother."

In the end, Pei You really hit the mark.

A few days later, news came from Wen's residence that the second young master had proposed a marriage proposal, and the object of marriage was Duan Rushuang, the former concubine daughter of the Duan family who was already well-known in Beijing.

Wen Ning suddenly realized that Duan Rushuang might not be saying that he would reject Wen Qi immediately.

It's that she should have agreed, but if things don't go smoothly, will she reconcile?
She is such a transparent girl, she is not someone who will be bound by the eyes of the world.

He Luan is pregnant, Wen Ning is pregnant, and Wen Qi is discussing marriage again. The Wen family can count as three happy occasions.

Wen Qi was about to marry a wife, Wen Tingchun was reluctant to occupy Wen Ning's boudoir, and decided to expand Wen's residence again.

The night Wen Ning heard the news, she sent someone to pick He Luan over.

Since it is going to be expanded, it must be the expansion of the East Wing. It is so noisy, where is it suitable for pregnant women to rest?

Cough... well, it's just an excuse.

She was just bored and wanted the East Palace to be more lively.

After taking He Luan over, Wen Ning wrote a letter to Duan Rushuang, inviting her to live with her.

As usual, Duan Rushuang didn't flinch, so she packed up her luggage and came to live in Lanhua Hall together.

All the good sisters are here, so someone seems to be a bit of an eyesore.

Wen Ning didn't know what Pei Youna was thinking about recently. After returning from Ci'en Temple, she went from going out of the East Palace for nothing to going out of Lanhua Palace for nothing, and became that clingy person again.

A while ago, I asked her where she wanted to play and planned to take her out.

"You go to live in the side hall."

Pei You happened to go to the meeting hall that day, and when he came back, there was no place for him in the den.

Wen Ning stopped him at the gate of Lanhua Palace, with a look of course on his face: "Anyway, it's not like you haven't lived there before."

He really never lived.

"Wen Ning, you are going to abandon your husband..." Glancing at Wen Ning's stomach, he swallowed the word "zi".

The "son" is on her body, and she can't give it up even if she wants to.

"Oh, I'm only staying for a few days. You can take advantage of these few days to finish the work at hand so that you can take me out to play!"

Wen Ning pushed the person out.

Pei You brushed her hand away, and looked at the heartless man again.

Wen Ning tugged at his sleeve and blinked.

Only then did he let go: "At most three days."

Noble flicked his sleeves coldly, and took Gu Fei away.

Ha, three days?

His majestic Crown Prince, can he still shamelessly drive the guests away? !

Wen Ning didn't take his words to heart at all, the sisters talked and laughed together in Lanhua Hall, playing and making noise, not to mention how happy they were.

"Now the little Highness in your belly..."

The three girls and the two pregnant women naturally couldn't do without their children when they chatted. He Luan gestured with both hands, "It's so big."

Wen Ning's eyes widened: "So small?!"

Duan Rushuang testified: "I used to see my aunt's child, who was born very young, like a kitten."

Wen Ning caressed her lower abdomen in grief.

So... the extra she got, did she really eat it? !

He Luan and Duan Rushuang stared at her belly that was indeed somewhat conspicuous.

But His Royal Highness is so pampered, it's not unusual for her to be plump during pregnancy.

"Speaking of which, you're really not curious about whether it's a man or a woman?" He Luan said, "My month is still young, so I'll be able to figure out your month."

Wen Ning shook her head, but before she could speak, He Luan said again: "You're not curious, but I am, why don't you let me touch it, I won't tell you, but tell Rushuang sister, then we'll see if I can touch it for sure."

"Can you really figure it out?" Duan Rushuang asked curiously, "Why don't we make a bet, if you are right, I will manage the account books of Ruyi Pharmacy for you for a month!"

Recently Wen Ning and Duan Rushuang have been thinking about transferring the medicine workshop to He Luan.

One of the two has no understanding of medicine, and the other is not interested in running a pharmacy. The current business of the pharmacy also depends on the reputation of He Luan's doctor.

It's just that He Luan doesn't know anything about business operations, and he has a headache when he sees the account books.

"Really?" He Luan's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Wen Ning, "Ah Ning, how are you?!"

Both of them came up with a bet, and Wen Ning stretched out her wrist generously: "You don't need to hide it from me, I'll see if I'm sure."

The three of them were on the low couch, took away the tea table, and sat in a corner, leisurely playing leaf cards.

Wen Ning stretched out her wrist, and naturally put down the cards in her hand.

He Luan also put down the cards in his hand and took her pulse.

Duan Rushuang never looked at He Luan for consultation when he was in the pharmacy, but now he was really curious, put down the cards in his hand, and looked at He Luan for taking the pulse without blinking.

He Luan took the right hand first, closed his eyes and took a deep rest for a moment, the corners of his lips raised, showing determination.

"How? Did it come out? Young master or young girl?" Duan Rushuang was more anxious than Wen Ning.

He Luan didn't speak, and motioned Wen Ning to stretch out her other hand.

When He Luan wanted to be on the safe side, he would take the pulse of both hands.

The last time she was asked to see if her body was infertile, she was the same.

Wen Ning stretched out her left hand again.

He Luan closed his eyes again.

The time is breathing and breathing, and suddenly slows down.

This time He Luan's pulse took longer than before, and he didn't smile, but let out a "huh".

Wen Ning raised her heart all of a sudden.

There should be no problem, right?

Probably not, Doctor Zhang came to take the pulse every day, and didn't say there was any problem.

"Come again." He Luan put down her left hand and picked up her right hand again.

Just now she comforted herself that nothing would happen, but Wen Ning still couldn't stop her heart beating faster.

But this time He Luan took a longer time to take the pulse, and took the left hand again after taking the right hand.

Duan Rushuang couldn't hold back any longer: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't be tricky."

She knew that He Luan would not take such a long time to get the pulse on weekdays.

After a while, He Luan finally put down Wen Ning's wrist and opened his eyes.

"How?!" Wen Ning and Duan Rushuang said in unison.

He Luan's expression was a little difficult to distinguish.

She glanced at Wen Ning, then at her stomach, then at Duan Rushuang, and then at Wen Ning's stomach.

"You said, is it possible..."

He Luan is young after all, and there are not so many pregnant women who have seen a doctor, so he doubted himself for a while.

Uncommonly, Nuonuo said: "The young master and the young girl are both in Ah Ning's stomach?"
