Chapter 325 Sister-in-law?
As always, the song and dance performance was enjoyed by Hua Buyu, while the others were all in different moods.
"Elder Xie, don't you have the ability to foresee the future?"
Feng Qingyang held up his wine glass, swirling the liquid inside occasionally.
"and then?"
Xie Cangming casually responded to his words as he gently stroked the patterns on the green flute with his slender fingers.
"Then you should calculate what will happen to Ayuan and the princess in the future. You said they were a match made in heaven, but look at them these days, they've had such a rough time. Ayuan has lost a lot of weight, and it breaks my heart to see him like this."
As they were talking, Feng Qingyang glared at him reproachfully. If he hadn't explained Shui Yi's identity earlier, the princess wouldn't still be unable to find her.
"What's the rush? My Mo'er is smart and lovely. Her cousins dote on her too much to ask, let alone agree to marry Xuan Yuan so easily. If everything turns out well in the end, why not wait a little longer?"
"Why do I feel that the Emperor's attitude towards you and A Yuan is strange? He doesn't seem very welcoming."
"...Drink your wine."
On the other side, Xin Moling sat in the head seat below, watching Hua Buyu eat non-stop. Just as she was about to speak to remind him, a voice, neither too loud nor too soft, sounded from above.
"Ah Ling, I am so pleased that we brothers have been reunited today. Come here!"
Baili Juebi raised his wine cup and glanced in his direction.
Xin Moling did not respond. She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then grasped the wine cup, slowly raised it into the air, and toasted him in return.
"Emperor Baili, I hope you will keep your word and let us see Yan'er tomorrow."
"Ah Ling, today you have found Gu Cang, just waiting for Yan'er to return, so that our family can be reunited and happy."
"It's too early to call us a family now; I haven't acknowledged you yet."
Han's eyes darkened as Baili Juebi looked at his cousin, whose demeanor was so forceful. His features were not as gentle as his aunt's, but his personality was too similar to hers, as was Yan'er.
He then recalled that when his father was alive, he had sent someone to find a portrait of a deceased general in Yuanqi. Ah Ling's appearance was exactly the same as that person's.
Xin Moling drank the wine and pondered to himself. He had thought that the Baili family would obstruct him when he finally found Gu Cang, but he did not expect it to be so smooth. In addition, Xie Cangming kept saying that they resented their father, but when they met, Baili Juebi did not mention his parents at all.
He was lost in thought when he heard a low growl beside him.
"Silence! You're not allowed to eat anymore!"
Xuan Yi suddenly flung his hand, knocking the flower dew from Hua Buyu's hand to the ground.
She immediately pouted, looking sullen.
I only ate a little bit more!
"Eat a little more? How much have you eaten since you sat down?"
"There were only four or five pieces of pastry, two small dishes of melon and fruit, no meat, and you only drank half a bottle of the flower dew before throwing it away."
"Then why did Liuqing say you ate half a roast chicken in the bedchamber earlier? Have you forgotten how much you vomited this morning?"
With a hint of disdain in his eyes and tone, Xuan Yuan frowned. He had never seen Hua Buyu eat so ravenously before; it was truly terrifying. What if Yan'er were to become like that in the future...?
"I just... I ate a little more! It's rare that I don't have morning sickness like other people, so my appetite is good and the baby is growing faster!"
Hua Buyu touched her round belly. Anyway, Feng Qingyang took her pulse every day and said that the baby was growing well in her belly, so she had to get more nutrition!
"Silence, Feng Qingyang just told you to diet at night, and you're already so reckless. If you keep eating like this, be careful..."
"Hey, hey, hey~ Boss, you were the one who said we should avoid the prophecy!"
She quickly made a shushing gesture, then smiled wickedly.
"Hua Buyu, from today onwards, you are not allowed to eat anything after 7 PM. Aren't you afraid the child will be too old in the future?"
Xin Moling glared at her with equal disdain. If she hurt his godson, he would never let this woman off the hook!
“Our divine physician Feng said that although the baby is healthy, he is just beginning to take human form and needs some extra nutrition.”
“You don’t eat any supplements, and you always pick out sweet and greasy candied fruits, honeyed cakes, and flower-flavored cakes. You’re not allowed to eat any more of these.”
Xin Moling's face was serious. Especially lately, this guy's appetite has become unusually large, yet he hasn't gained weight; his face has just become rounder, which is quite strange.
"The baby is hungry!"
"Stop using the child as an excuse, I don't believe you."
"Humph!"
Hua Buyu pouted and turned her head, only to find that an emperor above was watching the three of them argue with great interest.
"Hehe~ Cousin Baili."
"Ah Ling, are you going to be a father?"
"I……"
Before Xin Moling could explain, Hua Buyu's expression suddenly changed. She clutched her stomach, lay on the table, and began to moan and groan.
"Ouch! Xin Moling, my stomach hurts~"
Xin Moling: "..."
"Really! I'm not lying to you this time, boss~"
Xuan Yuan noticed the fine sweat on her forehead and suddenly realized something was wrong, so he quickly summoned Feng Qingyang over.
Xin Moling was also startled and hurriedly got up and walked to the side.
After taking her pulse and examining her, the conclusion was that Hua Buyu had eaten too much and was feeling stuffed. In addition, she had little exercise on the ship and had been walking frequently in the past few days, which slightly affected the fetus.
"Your Majesty, I am not feeling well and need to prepare some medicinal soup for the next two days. May I borrow the imperial chef's help?"
"Ah Ling, there's no need to be so polite. Each palace has its own private kitchen, so please feel free to use it."
Baili Juebi paused briefly, then stared at the two and said, "Your sister-in-law is pregnant, which is a joyous occasion for the Baili royal family. I was unaware of this before, so we each settled into our palaces. From this moment on, your sister-in-law will move to A Ling's Mi Suo Palace, so that A Ling can take care of her. As for all the necessary medicines, you can instruct the palace staff to provide them. Once your sister-in-law's pregnancy is stable, I will hold a grand wedding for you two in Gu Cang."
"What? Sister-in-law? Wedding?"
Hua Buyu lay on the table, listening in a completely daze.
Seeing that Baili Juebi had misunderstood this much, Xin Moling's expression was clearly not good, but he didn't want to explain too much. After all, Hua Buyu had been drifting on the ship with them for many days and was pregnant out of wedlock. If word got out, it would be bad for her reputation. Although the woman didn't care, this still wouldn't do. He was now the child's godfather.
In retrospect, it was a misunderstanding.
The welcoming feast tonight ended hastily due to Hua Buyu's unexpected departure, and none of them had much of an appetite. In addition, Xie Cangming was summoned to Beichen Palace by Baili Juebi, so they all went back to rest, waiting for dawn.
Located far from the Mingshui Palace, on Jinglie Mountain, a dozen or so camps were brightly lit by fire.
"boom!"
The wine jug she was holding fell to the ground with a thud, splashing wine onto her skirt and leaving several obvious stains.
"Second...Second Brother, please say it again."
Xin Moyan rushed forward, clutching Baili Juexi's clothes tightly with both hands, her voice trembling violently.
Unexpectedly, Baili Juexi's face turned completely red.
"Sister... Sister, your second brother is... dying."
