Chapter 179 - The baffling Ye Han

Aunt Meng was suspicious, could it be that she was seeing things?

"Then old slave will go get a basin of water for you." The Aunt Meng turned and left after she finished speaking.

Yun Qin wiped the corner of her mouth, signalling Yu Er to quickly bring the Plum Blossom out from her bag.

"Princess, here you go." Yu Er opened her handkerchief, took out a sour plum from inside and gave it to Yun Qin.

Yun Qin squinted her eyes. After eating the sour plum, she slowly started to feel better.

When footsteps came from outside the door, Yun Qin hurriedly gestured for Yu Er to keep the Plum Core.

When Aunt Meng helped Yun Qin wash her face and wanted to help her wipe her body, Yu Er argued: "Let me do it."

"It's the same for old slave." The Aunt Meng said, and indicated for Yu Er to go out and rest for a while, until Yun Qin spoke, "I'm used to Yu Er's wait. Aunt, you should go back and rest first."

Yun Qin had already spoken, so it was naturally not good for Aunt Meng to persevere. She could only nod and prepare to retreat, but just as she took two steps, Aunt Meng felt something hard beneath his feet. She moved his feet to take a look, it was actually a plum core.

Taking a look back at the two people in the curtain, while the two weren't paying attention, Aunt Meng bent down and quickly picked up the plum core, then walked out of the house quickly.

Looking at the plum core in his hand, Aunt Meng did not understand. It was something to be happy about, why would Princess hide it from others?

Knowing that Ye Han would always stay in the study room for a period of time every night at night, she immediately went to the study room.

The study room was brightly lit, Aunt Meng said to Little Du Zi who was outside: "Little Du, I request to see Your Highness."

"Auntie, please wait a moment."

Du Zi turned around and knocked on the door, and said in a low voice, "Your highness, Aunt Meng requests an audience."

"Come in." Ye Han's tone was slightly heavy. Because it was night time, his voice carried a trace of profoundness.

When Aunt Meng entered, Ye Han raised his eyebrows: What business does Aunt have?

"Your Highness, the old slave has something to report. The Princess is already pregnant." The moment she finished speaking, the pen in Ye Han's hand paused, and a black dot appeared on the bamboo scroll.

"What did you say?" Ye Han's tone was filled with disbelief, his pair of black eyes were filled with both shock and joy.

Aunt Meng opened her palm, revealing the plum core in her palm: "old slave found this in her room. old slave saw Princess vomiting, and asked her the reason, she only said that she is not well, but old slave saw that she has become more plump recently, so it is obvious that she is happy. This plum seed is the best proof, that a pregnant woman is jealous."

Ye Han's face revealed a smile, he was going to be a father, he was going to be a father.

The Aunt Meng continued, "It's just that this old slave doesn't understand. Since this Princess is happy, why must you hide it from me?"

Ye Han replied, "This king understands." He knew why Yun Qin was doing this for the sake of their child, but when did she become pregnant? How many months had it been?

Just thinking that she had hidden it for so long and he did not notice it at all, Ye Han wanted to laugh.

No wonder he saw that Yun Qin had become much more round than before. He thought that she had eaten too well, but he didn't expect that she would be so happy.

Originally, he wanted to delay the things that he had planned in his heart a little, but now that he had children, it would be useless for them to drag it out. Yun Qin already had a child, so he needed to quickly settle everything.

Clenching his fists tightly, Ye Han made a decision in his heart.

Ye Han reminded her: "Aunt, you can go back first. Don't expose this matter first, help her hide it."

"Yes." The Aunt Meng nodded.

The next morning, the cold wind blew. Yun Qin was forced out of bed by the Aunt Meng, she stood up and hugged the blanket, with a tired face, she didn't even bother to lift her eyelids: "Aunt, what's wrong now?"

"Princess, our ancestor has made the rule that on the first day of the new year, we must dress properly to pay our respects to the ancestor." Aunt Meng said as she twisted the hot towel in the basin.

Knowing that she meant "old ancestor" as the empress dowager, Yun Qin unwillingly hugged her blanket tightly. Although she was still half asleep, she was a little conflicted in her heart.

"Aunt, can you not go?"

"Ancestor's rules." Aunt Meng recited another sentence, and took the handkerchief to wash her face.

Yun Qin's eyes became clear after being heated by the towel. She blinked her eyes and sighed.

After being tormented by the Aunt Meng for half a day, she was finally done with her life. She combed her hair into a beautiful bun, put on a big red jacket, and then put on a furry collar. She lowered her eyes and straightened her clothes before suddenly hearing the Aunt Meng call out "Prince".

He never thought that Ye Han would actually come to her room so early in the morning.

Was he here to denounce him? Yun Qin subconsciously became wary and stared at him: "What are you doing here?"

Ye Han raised his eyebrows. "This king cannot come?"

Yun Qin tacitly agreed in her heart, but on the surface she did not say anything. Aunt Meng saw that the couple's relationship did not seem to be as loving as it was in the past, and felt even more like an enemy.

On the table, Yun Qin lowered her head and scooped up the sweet porridge in her bowl, raising her eyebrows she sneaked a peek at Ye Han, only to see Ye Han eating obediently, his expression not changing at all, Why would he come to accompany her to eat?

Ye Zichen thought about it with a frown, but couldn't find anything.

Ye Han picked up a piece of date cake and placed it in front of Yun Qin. Yun Qin opened her mouth and took a big bite, her cheeks bulging as she chewed and stared at Yun Qin.

"This King is not a ferocious beast, so stop looking at me with your little eyes." Ye Han whispered.

Yun Qin made a small sound of "Tch" and quickly finished her meal. Just as she was about to get up, she was stopped by Ye Han and sat down.

"What?" Yun Qin's face showed impatience.

"Drink another bowl."

"I'm full."

"Not full."

"You're not my Ascaris Worm, how do you know I'm not full!" Yun Qin clenched his teeth.

"Drink another bowl." Ye Han placed the bowl of porridge in front of her, thinking, he might not be full after eating your fill.

Yun Qin could not refuse him, she picked up the bowl and sat down, then began picking again.

How baffling!

After the meal, Yun Qin was so full that she had to support her belly walk. She called for Aunt Meng and Yu Er to quickly walk towards the empress dowager's palace. She was afraid that if she did not leave now, Ye Han would make her eat again.

On the way to the empress dowager's quarters, Yun Qin muttered to herself, "Ye Han is really baffling."

"Princess, your highness is worried about you." The Aunt Meng laughed.

"I drank two and a half bowls of porridge alone, not to mention other pastries. I suspect that he wants to keep himself afloat …" Yun Qin immediately swallowed his words before she could finish. On the first day of the new year, she could not say such unlucky words. If Aunt Meng were to hear it, it would be unknown how long he would have to lecture her for.

When they were almost to the empress dowager's chambers, Yun Qin and Mu Ranshu met. In her heart, she was still full of sympathy towards this Crown Prince's concubine, and she was even being abused everyday when she married someone she didn't like. I even thought that you were someone who had deep feelings for the Prince, but in the end, didn't he still end up marrying a side wife?! "
