Chapter 286 - 220: Daily Pregnant Slacking (Part 5)

The next day, when Shen Jingxian woke up, Wen Ranchen was indeed absent. She turned over and continued sleeping until Wen Ranchen woke her up.

Wen Ranchen brought warm water for Shen Jingxian to wash her hands and face. Shen Jingxian requested a picture book to read while lying in bed, leaving everything to Wen Ranchen to take care of.

"Drink chicken soup." Wen Ranchen took the picture book out of Shen Jingxian’s hands and pinched her face expressionlessly, "You’ve lost weight."

Shen Jingxian: ?

"How could I have lost weight?" Shen Jingxian pinched the flesh on her face and retorted with confidence, "I haven’t lost weight..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Song Yan gave her a ball and put it in her mouth.

After discovering this ball was quite effective, Wen Ranchen would feed Shen Jingxian one before each meal to prevent pregnancy nausea.

Sure enough, after eating the ball, Shen Jingxian had a good appetite and drank a big bowl of chicken soup.

Wen Ranchen tore the meat from the drumsticks and wings for Shen Jingxian to eat with chopsticks.

The Imperial Chef in the palace could cook cuisine from any region, but it always came down to only a few nourishing dishes for pregnancy.

"I can’t eat anymore, I’m so full," Shen Jingxian pushed the bowl away, though there was still meat left, she couldn’t eat any more.

Wen Ranchen took the bowl, finished the leftovers in two bites, and signaled the maid to take the bowl away.

Shen Jingxian continued to lie in bed reading the picture book, planning to go back to sleep when she felt drowsy.

Currently, since the Emperor is overseeing the state affairs, Wen Ranchen didn’t need to review reports for Shen Jingxian. He just sat beside her bed, gently touching her face.

The color in Shen Jingxian’s face wasn’t as vibrant as before, but her delicate eyebrows and eyes, lit by the light coming in from the window, gave her the appearance of a beautiful but slightly ill lady.

Shen Jingxian felt her face itching and reached out to slap Wen Ranchen’s hand, but before long, he continued his touching, doing as he pleased.

Shen Jingxian put down the picture book, shrank into the quilt, and covered her face, "You’re so annoying."

"Hmm." Wen Ranchen pulled Shen Jingxian’s head out from under the covers and tucked the quilt’s edge well, his lips moving slightly, "Am I really that annoying?"

"..."

Shen Jingxian looked at Wen Ranchen, sulking, "Disturbing my reading and disturbing my sleep, it’s annoying."

"Xian’er." Wen Ranchen slipped into the quilt and embraced Shen Jingxian, gently patting her back, "Sleep now."

Feeling sleepy, Shen Jingxian responded with a hum.

For some reason, whenever Wen Ranchen lay next to her, she couldn’t resist the urge to doze off.

After Shen Jingxian fell asleep, Wen Ranchen didn’t remain idle and began studying the "Pregnancy Guide" prepared by the Imperial Hospital.

He knew his wife had always been indifferent to such things, so he needed to learn well and not be outdone by her.

He had already finished the basics of protecting the pregnancy during this time and was now reading the advanced techniques.

Midway, Shen Jingxian woke up and found Wen Ranchen beside her. She laid her head on Wen Ranchen’s stomach and went back to sleep.

Now, Wen Ranchen couldn’t move.

He waited quite a while, and only after Shen Jingxian’s breathing became steady did he help her adjust her position.

He got out of bed, preparing to oversee the cooking at the Imperial Kitchen.

Just as he reached the door, Shi Wang appeared out of nowhere, "Is Your Majesty well during the pregnancy?"

Wen Ranchen ignored him and walked straight ahead, "This is none of your concern."

Shi Wang followed with Qinggong, "I am Your Majesty’s personal guard!"

"Not anymore."

"Wen Ranchen, is this how you treat your mentor??!"

"I don’t have a mentor who would make me blind with poison."

Shi Wang immediately felt at a disadvantage, "Ah, that was ages ago, haven’t you already gotten back at me? You little wolf pup."

Wen Ranchen didn’t respond.

"Your Majesty must be very careful about meals now, you know my Poison Technique."

Wen Ranchen finally stopped and looked at Shi Wang, "Your Majesty needs rest right now."

"I talk very little! Really! I promise I won’t talk anything bad about you!"

Wen Ranchen continued to stare at Shi Wang.

Shi Wang scratched his head and sighed, "I also definitely won’t mention how you plotted against me back then, alright!"

Shi Wang felt he was really pitiful; he just wanted to stay by His Majesty’s side, why was it so difficult boohoohoohoo.

"Remember your words," Wen Ranchen said calmly.

This was considered an agreement.

Shi Wang left in high spirits.

Now he could take care of the pregnant Emperor, yay!

"Wen Ranchen! Can I go over now?"

Wen Ranchen’s eyebrow twitched, resisting the urge to hit him, "Wait for me to summon you before you enter the palace."

"Okay." Shi Wang left happily.

After a while, Wen Ranchen returned with some bird’s nest, and Shen Jingxian was already awake.

She sat on the bed looking at Wen Ranchen, "What is that?"

Wen Ranchen smiled, "It’s bird’s nest, eating this makes the baby grow faster."

"Really?" Shen Jingxian was skeptical.

"Really, it’s written in the ’New Yi Bencao’, drinking bird’s nest in the first three months of pregnancy makes the baby smarter."

What... What Bencao?

Shen Jingxian was puzzled, having never heard of it, but didn’t want to reveal her ignorance, so she just took the bird’s nest, complaining in a low voice, "No need to be too smart, being just averagely smart is enough."

Wen Ranchen stroked her head, "Alright, just averagely smart, so I can teach him well and let him help you with reports early."

Shen Jingxian’s eyes immediately lit up, that would be great, that would be wonderful!

Wen Ranchen, what you said just hit the spot, it’s exactly what I wanted to hear!

"Wuwu, Wen Ranchen, you are the best man in the world, the best husband," Shen Jingxian’s small mouth chattered, "Once the baby is born, I’ll have him call you dad... No, let him call you dad first... I mean let him learn to call you dad first."

Shen Jingxian was speechless at herself, they always say pregnancy makes you silly for three years, and she’s just gotten pregnant and already feels a bit silly. It sounds as if the baby isn’t Wen Ranchen’s.

"Hmm, want more?" Wen Ranchen gently asked, rubbing Shen Jingxian’s head.

Shen Jingxian shook her head, "No more, tomorrow don’t make the bird’s nest plain, I want it with milk."

"Okay."

Wen Ranchen collected the bowl, feeling slightly agitated at the thought of Shi Wang appearing in their lives again tomorrow.

He watched Shen Jingxian pick up the picture book again, suddenly speaking up, "Your previous maids have returned, do you want them to enter the palace to serve you again?"

Shen Jingxian blinked, "Is it Xiao Qi and the others?"

"Yes."

"Then, ask them if they’d still like to follow me, if they’re willing, they can come back, they’ve probably been worn out these days."

Wen Ranchen’s lips curled, "Okay, I’ll send someone to ask."

This way, even if Shi Wang enters the palace, even if he occasionally isn’t there, Shi Wang wouldn’t have a chance to talk alone with his wife.

Let the maid and personal guard compete it their way.

How could there be no intrigues in the palace?
