Chapter 288 - 222: Daily Pregnant Slacking (Part 7)
Ever since Shen Jingxian became pregnant, Wen Ranchen has been paying more attention to her, and to himself as well.
In his eyes, the pregnant Shen Jingxian is like a porcelain doll, unable to withstand any slightest harm.
Therefore, every time he returns to the hall, he first changes into the softest clothes before holding Shen Jingxian.
Shen Jingxian now lies in his arms, feeling very comfortable overall!
Gradually, Shen Jingxian becomes sleepy, leaning against Wen Ranchen, her breathing becomes steady.
Wen Ranchen was still talking initially, but noticing that Shen Jingxian was about to fall asleep again, he gently shook her, "Be good, have dinner before sleeping."
Shen Jingxian was really sleepy; she pointed to her belly, "It’s the child, the child wants to sleep now, and so do I."
She struggled to get off Wen Ranchen and fell onto the bed, burrowing into the covers with lightning speed, refusing to come out.
Wen Ranchen had no choice but to take Shen Jingxian’s intimate clothes for washing.
This is Wen Ranchen’s habit; he never feels at ease letting others handle Shen Jingxian’s intimate items.
After washing the clothes, Wen Ranchen instructed the Imperial Kitchen to warm some snow frog so that when Shen Jingxian wakes up, she can eat it directly.
If she never wakes up, he would wake her up; she couldn’t just eat nothing.
When Shen Jingxian opened her eyes again, she was visibly more refreshed.
She rarely dressed herself, and went out to find Wen Ranchen.
Wen Ranchen hadn’t gone far, he was just in the backyard.
Shen Jingxian, freshly awake and feeling warm, wanted to sneak up on Wen Ranchen to give him a surprise, but was discovered after taking just one step.
"Why are you out?" Wen Ranchen walked over swiftly and started checking if Shen Jingxian’s clothes were properly worn.
Shen Jingxian was speechless, "Why can’t I come out? Am I unpresentable?"
Wen Ranchen paused and quickly explained, "That’s not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?"
Shen Jingxian sounded like she was questioning him, but the smile in her eyes had already betrayed her.
Wen Ranchen rubbed her head, "You’re deliberately trying to make me anxious."
Shen Jingxian tilted her head back, "Yes!"
Wen Ranchen: ...
Let’s just say he was left speechless, and more importantly, didn’t dare to refute.
Shen Jingxian tugged on Wen Ranchen’s clothes and shook them, "I’m so bored, I want to drink the soup you made for me."
Wen Ranchen hesitated for a moment, slightly troubled, "It’s not healthy."
This was the truth, and Wen Ranchen had never questioned his own learning ability in his life, whether in politics, military affairs, economics, or needlework, arts, and literature, he learned with ease.
It was only in cooking that he struggled.
He knew that the things he made were inedible, so how could he possibly let the pregnant Shen Jingxian eat them?
Rarely did Shen Jingxian see Wen Ranchen’s troubled expression, which brightened her mood. She decided not to tease him anymore. "Alright, let’s go back, accompany me on a walk."
Wen Ranchen’s eyes curved with a smile, "Okay."
Shen Jingxian was secretly delighted.
No one could stop her determination to visit the Imperial Garden to see the male concubines.
It’s not her fault, she had never seen them and was genuinely curious.
What are male concubines like? Are they the kind who hold a little fragrant handkerchief and act coquettishly with sly charm?
Curious.
After she went back, Shen Jingxian ate the snow frog and then became excited, urging Wen Ranchen to take her to the Imperial Garden, but it was already dark at that time, and in the Imperial Palace, only the maids on duty were around. Shen Jingxian went but didn’t see any male concubines, so she had to go back.
On the way back, Shen Jingxian suddenly thought about the fragmented prenatal education knowledge she had received in her past life, and she came up with a wonderful idea.
"Brother Ranchen, read to me."
Wen Ranchen: "..."
He hadn’t heard this "big brother" in a while.
Wen Ranchen took Shen Jingxian to sit on the bed, looking down at her belly, then went to the study to fetch a book and started reading softly.
Wen Ranchen’s voice was very magnetic, especially when he lowered it, sounding particularly pleasant.
Shen Jingxian grasped Wen Ranchen’s hand, pinching and examining his fingers.
So long, so white, with such distinct joints, it was a shame not to wear rings on such hands.
Shen Jingxian was having fun and didn’t notice Wen Ranchen’s voice was getting softer and softer. He read a few more sentences, his throat moved twice, and he tossed the book aside, "Not sleepy anymore?"
"Not sleepy." Shen Jingxian was a bit dissatisfied, "Why did you stop reading? I can’t fall asleep if you don’t read."
She was taking him as a sleep-inducing machine.
Wen Ranchen was speechless, but still resignedly picked up the book again.
He reached out a hand to gently pinch the back of Shen Jingxian’s neck, softly rubbing it, "In a few days, let’s have the Imperial Physician check on your health, and if you’re better, I’ll take you out for fun."
"Forget fun, it’s too tiring, maybe just go for a walk." Shen Jingxian was too lazy.
"Alright, alright, just a walk then."
