The next day, before Zhao Heng entered the palace, he reminded the manager to invite Lin to accompany the princess.

It was still dark when he left. When Song Jianing woke up, it was already dawn. Just after breakfast, Lin came. Song Jianing walked out happily, and with one hand, he habitually held his heavier belly, walked to the door of the main hall, and bumped into his mother head-on. Lin looked at his daughter with a smile, and Song Jianing also looked at his mother happily, and then he found that the naturally beautiful mother had accidentally applied a layer of powder, and there was nothing on her face, but her mother's eyes were covered with blood.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Song Jianing suddenly became anxious.

Lin was very haggard these two days. He didn't want to come, because he was afraid that his daughter would worry about her, but her daughter was about to give birth. It was the critical moment. If she didn't come, her daughter would definitely be thinking about it. Since her daughter saw through it, Lin hurriedly supported her daughter and said helplessly: "It's okay, don't worry, An An, just Brother Mao got chickenpox in front of him, and his mother was guarding her, and she didn't sleep well at night."

My brother is sick?

Song Jianing immediately said: "I'll go and have a look."

Lin held his daughter's arm and said in a relaxed tone: "This morning, the doctor said, Brother Mao is fine. He just waited for the acne on his face to subside and then he was jumping again. You have a big belly, stay honestly. When Brother Mao is well, my mother will take him to see you."

Song Jianing had acne herself and knew it was not a serious illness, but that was her younger brother. It was not enough to be far away. The two families were so close that she wanted to see her younger brother, otherwise she would feel even more uncomfortable if she kept thinking about it. Lin could not resist her daughter, so she had to personally support her daughter to the Duke's mansion next door. Although Song Jianing had a big belly, the doctor said that walking more would be beneficial, so don't walk too fast.

The mother and the mother slowly reached the Duke of Wei's Mansion. Soon Song Jianing saw his younger brother with acne on his face. The little guy was lying obediently on the bed, looking at his sister with grievance, looking at his eyes and looking at him was pretty good. Song Jianing coaxed his younger brother softly: "Brother Mao'er takes medicine well, and when he gets cured, he goes to the royal palace to pick persimmons."

Brother Mao didn't want to eat persimmons now, so he looked at his sister's stomach and said, "Sister, I'll see you give birth when I recover from the disease." My mother said, his sister had his little nephew in her belly, and Brother Mao was anxious to be his uncle.

When the younger brother talked about his child, Song Jianing couldn't help laughing and sat with his younger brother for two quarters of an hour.

The brother and brother had enough chatting. Lin helped his daughter out and walked around the screen wall. Suddenly, a carriage was slowly parked in front of the Duke's mansion. The man who was driving the carriage was dressed in an imperial guard. Lin first thought of her husband's official acquaintance. She was about to block her daughter. The curtain of the carriage was lifted open. The man in the carriage leaned out, with a thin and pale face, but cold and romantic.

Lin was surprised and happy, and excitedly left her daughter to greet her: "Ping Zhang is back!"

Guo Xiao's chest was not very comfortable. He came out of the carriage. He lowered his eyes and heard the stepmother's voice. He looked up unexpectedly. However, the first thing he saw was the figure wearing a lilac wool behind his stepmother. Guo Xiao came back early for her. Knowing that she had a child about the end of this month, he set off two months in advance despite the advice of the imperial doctor. However, Guo Xiao never expected to see her this year. He just wanted to get closer to her when she gave birth. It is said that women give birth to a baby to break through the gates of hell. Guo Xiao wanted to accompany her, but before he got off the carriage, he actually saw her.

Everything in front of her disappeared, only her petite figure. After a year of not seeing her, she grew taller and more beautiful. Because of her pregnancy, her belly bulging, her face became much fatter, whiter, tenderer and more charming. Her eyes swept across her belly and fell on her face again. Guo Xiao stared at the face that was engraved in his heart almost greedily, although she had already lowered her eyes, even though she showed a look of fear of him again.

Guo Xiao still doesn't understand what she is afraid of for so many years, and he doesn't want to pursue it anymore. He likes everything she looks like.

Retracting his gaze, Guo Xiao smiled at his stepmother who had already walked up to him, and said while getting off the car: "I've been away from home for too long. I want to come back early. How can my mother?"

Lin had no mother-son relationship with this stepson, but the stepson was very good to Mao Ge'er and was a brave and warlike hero. Lin admired Guo Xiao from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, after learning that Guo Xiao was seriously injured, Lin sent someone to send two cars of expensive medicinal materials and supplements to the past. Now Guo Xiao did not listen to the imperial doctor's instructions, and he came back early. He stood firm and covered his right chest with pain. Lin suddenly felt distressed and quickly asked someone to help Guo Xiao in.

"Guo Xiao, pay homage to the princess." Guo Xiao walked beside Lin, and was four or five steps away from Song Jianing, he suddenly broke away from the guard who was supporting him, knelt down at Song Jianing on one knee, looked up at her, and saw the fire that was only for her to see. For a year, she knew how he survived it? Every time he thought of her lying next to another man, he was worse than death.

Song Jianing didn't expect him to be like this. He was so shocked that he took two steps back and didn't look at him at all. He turned his head and said, "Brother, please get up quickly."

Lin did not expect that his stepson would give such a big tribute, but after all, he was not a brother and sister. The stepson was cautious in keeping the politeness. He was concerned about the injuries on his body and quickly persuaded him to get up. Guo Xiao nodded, and when he got up, he felt a dull pain in his right chest. He immediately raised his hand to press the wound and pressed it tightly, his face pale, but his eyes turned to her.

Song Jianing noticed his movements and his eyes changed slightly. In his previous life, Madam Li also told her about this Northern Expedition, but she did not mention whether the Great Zhou was victorious or defeated. She only talked about Guo Xiao's contribution and was promoted to the third rank at once. But Song Jianing also knew that Guo Xiao's chest was intact in his previous life, and he did not have any arrow wounds.

"Mom, take care of your elder brother, I'll go back first." Song Jianing didn't want to live with Guo Xiao, so he said goodbye with this as an excuse.

But Guo Xiao looked at her deeply: "I'm fine, the princess has both bodies, so let my mother send you a trip."

Song Jianing pursed his lips.

Of course, Lin was more concerned about her daughter. Since Guo Xiao had spoken, she asked the guard to send her stepson to Yihexuan. She helped her daughter to continue walking out. Guo Xiao stopped in place, her eyes kept following the back that was still slender from behind, and she could no longer see anyone. Guo Xiao closed his eyes, as if he could still smell the faint fragrance on her body.

"Criminal, go?" his subordinate whispered.

Guo Xiao nodded, still covering his chest with his right hand, took a few steps before he could barely suppress the pain and slowly let it go.

It hurts very much, but it is worth it.

On the way back to Shouwang Mansion, Song Jianing's mind was full of Guo Xiao's eyes looking at her, like a wolf in human skin. At first glance, he looked like a cold and respectful brother, but only her understood ambitions hidden in his eyes. Song Jianing was chilled all over. His mother told her that Guo Xiao would return to Beijing as early as the twelfth lunar month, so she dared to come to the Duke's mansion to see her younger brother. If she knew that Guo Xiao would come back early today, she would definitely not go out.

Guo Xiao's eyes swayed back and forth in his head, before he stepped into the palace and bypassed the screen wall. Song Jianing suddenly covered his stomach and looked at his mother in horror: "Mom, I, I may be giving birth..."

Lin was shocked. Whether it was a famous doctor in the capital or an imperial doctor in the palace, it was said that his daughter was born at the end of the month, and she was only fourteen today. Why did she be so long in advance?

When she met her daughter's panicked eyes, Lin quickly calmed down and signaled Qiuyue. Shuang'er to prepare first. She held her daughter firmly with her hands and said with a smile: "Don't panic, An'an, now it's just a child to remind you, let's prepare, it's really early to die, let's walk back slowly, it's time to do it."

Song Jianing looked at his bulging belly, but was still afraid and said uneasy: "Why did it be half a month in advance?"

Lin touched his daughter's belly and joked deliberately: "Some melon seedlings in the same field are ripe a few days earlier and some days later. It's common for you brothers to conceive you for nine and twenty days. It's Mao'er's turn, half a month earlier than you. An An eats so well, and the children in her belly grow fast. The ripe melons fall, so they will naturally come out."

Song Jianing was distorted by his mother's gentle voice and said in surprise: "Do you actually remember it?"

Lin did not remember it. In order to coax her daughter to make a fool of herself, but she made it perfectly, Song Jianing really believed it. She thought that she would give birth in a while, and Song Jianing could not control the fear in her heart. Her face was pale and she especially wanted to see someone. As she walked, there was a delivery room that was packed up early. Song Jianing subconsciously looked at the palace, not knowing when he would come back.

In Hanlin Academy, Zhao Heng held the newly compiled new book in his hand, but he was always difficult to read and was inexplicably irritable. But he couldn't find a reason to be irritable. She had insomnia again last night, but he had sent someone to invite his mother-in-law to accompany her. The mother and daughter should be talking about family matters now. There is still half a month before she gave birth to a child, so there is nothing to worry about.

At this moment, a little eunuch hurried over and lowered his head to report: "Prince, your mansion just sent someone to send a letter in, saying that the princess was about to give birth..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Heng immediately put down the book and strode out, his steps were fast. Eunuch Fu almost ran to keep up, but Eunuch Fu ran comfortably and was excited that the prince finally had someone to succeed. The carriage that Zhao Heng entered the palace was now ready, and the manager who delivered the letter was on a horse, waiting respectfully.

When Zhao Heng left the palace, he walked directly to the horse in charge, turned over and headed straight for his palace.

Eunuch Fu didn't expect that his master would be so anxious. He left him and went back first. He didn't dare to use the ready-made prince car, so he had to run back with a bitter slap and run with the manager.

Zhao Heng went back to the palace first, jumped off his horse and rushed to the backyard. The manager was waiting in front of him. At this moment, he was whispering to the report: "Prince, the princess heard that the fifth prince had acne, so he moved to visit him. When he came back, he happened to run into the prince's house. He delayed for a while in the front yard of the Duke's Mansion. Soon after returning to the palace, he..."

Zhao Heng's pace slowed down and he turned to the Duke's Mansion.

Guo Xiao is back and returns to Beijing two months in advance. Is she sure she is going to have a child in October and is she rushing back specifically?

What did he do when he came back? He was so scared that she was born at the end of the month that she was half a month ahead of time. Did Guo Xiao know that she was afraid of him and deliberately came back to scare her? But why was the princess afraid of him? Did she guess that the frames were all done by Guo Xiao, or what did Guo Xiao say to her before she got married?

If that's true, she must have guessed that hairpin was given by Guo Xiao?

But she pretended perfectly and even he fooled it.

The man had already reached the corridor leading to the backyard, but Zhao Heng suddenly turned around and went to the study alone. The manager was not Fu, and he didn't know the prince's heart as well. However, the manager was a father. He vaguely felt that the prince was too nervous when he was a father, and he didn't want people to see it, so he pretended to be calm and wait for news in the study.

In the delivery room, Shuang'er came in and looked at the pale princess lying on the bed. She clenched her hands and lied boldly: "Princess, the prince is back, and she has to come to see you before she has changed her clothes. She was persuaded by Eunuch Fu halfway through, and said that the prince is even more nervous when he comes. The prince asked me to tell you, saying that he is waiting in the front yard to make you feel at ease."

After hearing this, Song Jianing wanted to laugh again, but was a little disappointed. She laughed because the prince wanted to accompany her, and was disappointed...

"There are many royal rules. Some people around the prince reminded him of the rules, and they can't do whatever they want." Lin felt uncomfortable, but his son-in-law was the prince, so he really couldn't ask too much. Men shouldn't have entered the delivery room, so it was almost the same when waiting next door or in the front yard. Instead of complaining, it's the most important thing to make your daughter feel at ease first.

Song Jianing was disappointed, but she was not particularly greedy. She was already very satisfied when the prince came back so quickly.

In addition to her mother, there are three most famous midwifes in the capital, and there is also an imperial physician in charge. Song Jianing took a few deep breaths and tried to focus his attention on the child in her belly. She was pregnant for nine months, and the prince was so eager that he did not step beyond the line. He cared so much about her and the child, so she must give birth to it well.

Noon passed like this. After the second half of the day, Song Jianing became more and more painful. In the early winter, she was sweating all over her body, and her clothes were almost wet. The pain was so extreme that Song Jianing suddenly wanted to cry. She knew that there were many royal rules and knew that he was a prince, but he was so kind to her in the past six months. She really thought he would come and see her. Even if she was waiting next door, it was better than staying in the front yard.

Song Jianing closed his eyes, tears as big as beans fell.

Lin is a woman and knows what her daughter needs most now, but she can give her life to her daughter, but she can't make up for the place where her daughter's heart must be filled with a man. She can only help her daughter wipe her tears and draw cakes for her daughter over and over again: "Don't cry, don't cry, try harder, after giving birth, the prince will come... The prince is waiting in front..."

Before he finished speaking, the imperial doctor suddenly heard the next door, "Prince, you can't go in..."

"Mr. Liu came here to take care of the princess, so you don't have to worry about the rest." Eunuch Fu said with a smile.

One sentence not only blocked Doctor Liu's dissuasion, but also made the three midwives in the inner room swallow their worries, looked at each other, and only paid homage to the princess when the prince came in, and then continued to serve the princess. On the bed, Song Jianing looked at the man who walked by the screen in disbelief, but her eyes were blurred and she couldn't see clearly.

She kept crying, and Lin stood up and explained to her daughter sadly: "Prince, the princess just hurts too much, so she just endured it. You might as well go outside to wait?" The son-in-law came after all, and this kind of heart was enough. The delivery room was bad and ordinary men were unwilling to be with him, let alone a prince.

Zhao Heng heard it, but it was like he didn't hear it. He walked around his mother-in-law and sat on the edge of the bed. Song Jianing couldn't see him clearly, but Zhao Heng saw her face full of tears. The more aggrieved she would feel, she would feel as grievance. She didn't say anything, but the strings of tears fell on his heart, making him feel more guilty than any complaint.

"Don't cry." Zhao Heng raised his hand and wiped the tears from her face with his index finger.

After applying a string, Song Jianing fell another string, but the corners of his mouth curled up little by little.

When the prince came, she felt at ease.

With the comfort of her longing for her husband, Song Jianing stopped tears in a blink of an eye and looked at the man beside the bed.

She seemed to be easy to satisfy her child, and her eyes were filled with dependence. Zhao Heng regretted the neglect for the past half day. He held her cold hand and said, "Sir, I will be rewarded after giving birth."

Song Jianing looked at his handsome face and suddenly felt embarrassed and urged in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please wait outside."

Otherwise, he would be guarding here, and she would grin and try hard, it would be too ugly.
