One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

After dealing with Chu Junyi and taking a look at Baili Anqing, Shen Ninghua was in a good mood and went to rest.

The next day, when she woke up again, the room was very quiet. The only thing that could be smelled was the sweet aroma of pastries from the table.

Shen Ninghua held onto his abdomen, his eyes filled with warmth.

Suddenly, a low voice could be heard from outside. There were faint sounds of rustling.

Surprised, she put on her clothes and walked towards the window. Chu Junyi pushed open the door before she could approach.

There was a joyful smile on his face and a soothing smell of comfort coming from within. Shen Ninghua's heart warmed up and felt exceptionally at ease. "I heard a sound outside, so I wanted to open the window to take a look."

The smile in Chu Junyi's eyes grew more real. "Yes. Take a look."

Noticing that there was something wrong with his attitude, Shen Ninghua did not pay much attention to it. Instead, she pushed the window open and froze on the spot.

Originally, her yard was filled with plants and flowers. Recently, the weather had been quite a bit warmer, but because of the delicate flowers, they had not fully bloomed. However, when one looked at the courtyard now, they would see blooming flowers along with tender green leaves. The whole courtyard was full of vitality, causing one to feel refreshed with just a single glance.

"Did you get someone to plant this again?"

Chu Junyi stepped forward and embraced her from behind. "Ninghua, do you like it?"

Warmth flowed within Shen Ninghua's heart, but she maintained an embarrassed expression as she admitted to herself, "So many flowers and you planted them in my yard, aren't you afraid of there being too many pollen that will make me uncomfortable?"

Shen Ninghua chuckled lightly and leaned against his chest, "I'm just teasing you. When the Chen Courtyard was in your choice, I must have noticed it for you. When these flowers are placed together, the faint fragrance of the flowers won't make anyone uncomfortable, and the pollen is also extremely rare."

Chu Junyi let out a sigh of relief. "Ning Hua, you better not scare me like this ever again."

Shen Ninghua raised an eyebrow, "Huh?"

"When you are pregnant, you must be able to look straight with your eyes, ignore evil voices in your ears, act illegally, and not dare to do anything. Only by doing this will you be able to set a good example for our children."

Shen Ninghua looked out of the window thoughtfully. "So, changing the flower in the yard is the first step to turn a blind eye to evil?"

"Yes." Chu Junyi nodded.

Shen Ninghua suddenly felt that the next few months would be tough for her. However, seeing Chu Junyi's high spirits, she couldn't interrupt his joy at being her father. She nodded and said, "I'm hungry. Let's eat something."

Over the next few days, Shen Ninghua's life was exceptionally peaceful. She took care of all the trivial matters before her. All she had to do was walk around the garden every day and eat.

"Big sister!"

Shen Xuanlin, with a small bow in his arms, came running over. His forehead was covered in sweat and his smile was extremely bright, "Big sis, quickly look, I made a bow for my nephew. When he is born, he will definitely be able to use it. "

Shen Xuanlin ran extremely quickly and his voice was loud and excited. However, when he was five steps away from Shen Ninghua, he suddenly stopped and tidied up his clothes before carefully walking step by step towards Shen Ninghua.

Shen Ninghua found this extremely funny. She beckoned for him to come over and asked, "You made your own bow?"

"Yes." Shen Xuanlin passed the bow and arrow to Shen Ninghua as if he was offering a treasure, "I even made a small wooden horse for my nephew. However, I didn't do it well, so I still need to practice."

"Have you delayed your recent studies?"

"No, I didn't waste any time on my studies. I did it in my free time. If you don't believe me, you can ask Master Liu Yun. I'm not slacking off at all." He did not dare not work hard, after all, there was still that brat Yun Chuan behind him!

"I naturally believe in you. I'm just afraid that I might have delayed my rest."

Shen Xuanlin looked at Shen Ninghua's stomach. His eyes were full of curiosity and caution, and even his breathing became a little shallow. He was afraid that if he tried too much, he would hurt his nephew, "Big sister, how many months will it take for his nephew to come out?"

"I need another eight months."

"Mm, that's enough for me to prepare a lot of things." Shen Xuanlin's eyes lit up as he leaned slightly over Shen Ninghua's stomach and pretended to cough twice, "Little nephew, I'm your uncle. Don't worry, your uncle will definitely be diligent in martial arts and personally train a warm little horse for you. Hmm, you heard it right? You have to be obedient inside Big Sis's stomach, don't make Big Sis tired, otherwise … Otherwise... "Well, you know what."

Hearing that he didn't say anything, or that he didn't mean anything, Shen Ninghua couldn't hold back his laughter anymore.

Shen Xuanlin was feeling rather embarrassed, probably feeling embarrassed in front of his future 'nephew'. After saying 'I'm going to practice martial arts', he hurriedly ran out. This action caused Shen Ninghua's laughter to grow even louder.

Chu Junyi entered the room as soon as he stepped out of the room. She covered her stomach with her hands and smiled. She was surprised and frightened, but her whole body stiffened. "Han-Hua, stop laughing. My stomach hurts."

After a while, Shen Ninghua's smile disappeared. He looked at Chu Junyi and asked, "You're in court now. What's the situation like in the palace?"

Her black eyes also had a glimmer of water in them, tempting people to want to lean over and kiss her. Chu Jun's hair was tight, he could only hold her in his arms and place the plate of snacks by her side:

"The palace has been quite rowdy recently. "The Emperor's heart grew suspicious of the empress, who had to bear with the pain and pull out many nails for the sake of obtaining the letter. You also know that for all these years, the empress has favored many concubines and many consort positions are useless. Now that there's such a good opportunity, everyone naturally wants to seize it."

Shen Ninghua leaned against his chest with a lazy look on her face, "The empress is now trying her best to wash herself clean, so naturally, she won't step in to suppress the unrest in the harem. In fact, she might even add fuel to the fire, because the more chaotic it is, the more convenient it is to do something in secret.

"Mm, the empress's thoughts were quite tight. The people she cleared out weren't just from her own side. Many of the people groomed by the imperial concubines were also involved, and even quite a few of my people were taken advantage of."

Shen Ninghua frowned, "Then you have to be on your guard."

Seeing her worry, Chu Junyi regretted her decision. She said, "Ning Hua, you don't have to worry about this. My men are extremely secretive and rarely use them. The empress can't find anything that can hurt her muscles and bones, so you don't have to worry."

Shen Ninghua nodded, "That's good then."

Seeing that her forehead was relaxed, Chu Junyi was relieved.

Bai Yu knocked on the door and came in, "Miss, Prince Consort, Miss Yang is here. She's waiting in the parlour."

Chu Junyi frowned. "Yang Yingxue?"

"Yes."

"Xiao Hua, it's better not to see you at this time. I'll get someone to say that you've taken an afternoon nap."

Shen Ninghua shook his head to stop him, "I still need eight months before the child in my womb is born. Don't tell me that I can't see anyone for so long? Furthermore, my cousin can easily block them all. If the empress and the others summon me, I won't be able to avoid it. How can I refuse? "

Chu Junyi felt a pang in her heart when she heard her words. They had made the empress suffer a huge loss this time, so how could the empress not take the opportunity to attack? Ning Hua was still pregnant, so the empress did not do anything else.

A cold light flashed through Chu Junyi's eyes as she thought to herself, "He won't allow anyone to harm his child. He won't allow anyone to do so!" It seemed that some of the actions had to be sped up.

Yang Yingxue sat on a chair in the parlour, her fingers gently caressing the lid of the cup, her eyes filled with unease.

Shen Ninghua entered and saw her expression. His expression changed a little, "Cousin, you're here?"

It was unknown if it was because she had experienced a lot, but the current Yang Yingxue was much more amiable compared to before. She was less jealous and competitive, more relaxed and amiable, also appearing to be more and more outstanding.

"Greetings, Princess."

"What's there to be so formal at home?" Shen Ninghua smiled and said, "Cousin, please take a seat."

Yang Yingxue's fingers subconsciously pulled tightly on the silk handkerchief in her hands, and there were even beads of sweat on her forehead.

Shen Ninghua was even more certain that something must have happened to her. "Aunt, how have you been recently?"

"Hmm? "Hmm, good, it's all pretty good."

"Cousin, you're a bit absent-minded, but what do you want to discuss with me?" Seeing her distracted look, Shen Ninghua did not delay any further and directly went straight to the point.

Yang Yingxue took in a deep breath as if she had made up her mind. She raised her head and looked at Shen Ninghua, "Princess, I've come this time to request your help."

Beg? Shen Ninghua's eyes moved slightly. "Cousin, what do you have to say for yourself? Why would you ask for a favor?"

Yang Yingxue shook her head and frowned slightly, "Princess, I've thought about this for a long time. I know that you are pregnant and should not have come to disturb me, but if I don't tell you now, I'm afraid I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

Shen Ninghua lowered her eyes. She had a guess in her heart, "You must be here for Hundred Miles Jin Chuan, right?"

Yang Yingxue trembled and nodded after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, "Mn, in a short while, he will return victorious. I heard father say that the Emperor will bestow him with the title of a prince and even thought of selecting a concubine for him to marry."

Shen Ninghua frowned, "Cousin is right. I've also heard that Imperial Father had such plans. However, what does Cousin wish for me to help you with?"

Yang Yingxue stood up and walked in front of Shen Ninghua. She knelt on the ground and grabbed her hand, "Cousin, I know that you will look down on me if you say so, but I have no other choice. I want to marry the Second Prince! "

"Cousin …" Baili JinChuan's personality was extreme, even she couldn't estimate his strength. He really wasn't a good match for her.

As if afraid that Shen Ninghua would reject her, Yang Yingxue hurriedly explained, "I know that my status is low and that I can't become the second prince's main wife. I don't dare to ask for the position of secondary wife. I just want to marry him and stay by his side."

"Cousin, why are you suffering?"
