Chapter 714 She Thought Fu Yan Would Keep It Secret

nstantly dissipated Xu Qinghuan's whole day of fatigue and worry.This must be the power of love, no wonder everyone yearns for it.Alright, be careful out there.Well.Putting down her phone, Xu Qinghuan...Just now when I was doing the divination, I said that your pregnancy will be a bit tough and difficult. You can't keep working day and night anymore, you need to take good care of your health. It's getting cold outside, with icy winds already blowing. Let's go back inside quickly.

Yun Ling looked up. Not to mention the winter wind, even the dead leaves on the trees didn't budge.

Xiao Bi Cheng started to chatter incessantly, and even asked Lu Qi to bring over his cloak that he had just taken off. He wrapped Yun Ling up tightly, making her look like a cocoon.

Now he didn't want to stay at Qingyi Academy any longer, fearing the cold temperature on the mountain would cause Yunling to freeze at night. After dinner, he took Yunling back to the palace.

In no time, the rumor that Yun Ling was possibly pregnant spread throughout the palace.

Next, people from various palaces came one after another to send gifts. Even Emperor Zhaoren himself came to the East Palace for a while.

He stared at Yun Ling's belly. A hint of relief finally graced his usually heavy countenance.

"You're quite the go-getter. If you could give birth to twins again this time, that would be truly blessed."

Xiao Bi Cheng hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense, the birth date has been calculated, this baby will definitely be a girl."

Emperor Zhaoren was a little surprised, "He's a Taoist priest, and he can even calculate the genders of people The doctors couldn't figure it out, so his words shouldn't be trusted, right"

"If you believe, it will work; if you don't believe, it won't. Your son believes in the phoenix dream, and this child will surely be a girl."

Emperor Zhaoren shook his head disapprovingly. "You'd best not believe it for now."

Xiao Bicheng frowned slightly, “You don’t like girls”

“Of course not, the Xiao family has rarely had daughters in the past. It's rare to have a granddaughter, how could I dislike her I just feel that your offspring are still a bit thin. It’s better to let Ling girl give birth to several sons first. After having eight or ten sons, you can slowly have a daughter in the future.”

After all, the succession of the throne comes first. Emperor Zhaoren naturally hopes to have as many sons as possible.

Yunling listened silently, not to mention whether or not she was pregnant.

Even the question of whether someone is male or female cannot be controlled by words or spells.

Even in the 23rd century, a time of highly advanced science and technology, it is still impossible to determine a fetus's gender through artificial means.

Emperor Zhaoren's words made Xiao Bicheng a little unhappy.

"What's wrong with my dear girl She's just like my son. If in the future, my daughter surpasses even her brothers in ability, then I wouldn't hesitate to pass the throne onto her. What do you think Which of the Yunling sisters is the most outstanding"

Emperor Zhao Ren initially wanted to retort, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he was speechless.

Yun Ling supported half the heavens of the imperial court and harem. This is a fact that no one can deny.

As they were speaking, there came from outside the hall a series of "clatter" and "clacking" sounds.

Yun Ling raised her eyes and saw the familiar figure of the old man at the door.

Only to see the Taishang Emperor holding a chicken in his left hand and a duck in his right, with two plump babies, one made of fire and one made of snow, in his basket.

"Why did you suddenly come, and wouldn't you let the palace maids help you carry things"

The couple rushed to greet them. Xiao Bi Cheng took down the basket holding two glutinous rice balls, while Yun Ling personally poured a cup of hot tea.

The Taishang Huang sat on the chair, resting and waving his hand dismissively. “That group of palace maids are foolish; they can’t even catch a chicken and have to rely on me and Xue Tuan’er to do it ourselves.”

When he had nothing to do in his spare time, he planted a vegetable patch, two rows of fruit trees, and a chicken and duck coop in Changning Palace.

Besides personally feeding them, the Retired Emperor would have palace attendants lead chickens and ducks by rope to the hunting grounds in the back mountain.

This way of raising poultry results in meat that is firm and flavorful when used in stews.

It is said that after Yun Ling became pregnant, the Taishang Huang wanted to catch an old hen to stew for her soup to nourish her body. Those birds were very wild, flapping their wings and flying up, none could be caught.

Still, Xue Tuan was clever. He poured a bucket of water on the ground, and the child froze the old hen's feet.

I didn't let the fire group go up together because I was afraid that the old hen would be roasted before it was stewed.

Two glutinous rice balls landed, and the fire ball rushed into Yun Ling's arms, excitedly and curiously touching her belly.

"Mommy, Mommy! Grandpa said there's a ball in your tummy, and he wants to see it!"

Several months passed, and although Huotuan's speech was still unclear, his words had become much more coherent.

Before Yun Ling could answer, Xue Tuan grabbed onto Xiao Bi Cheng's sleeve with some fear, her black, round eyes filled with tension.

"Why is there a ball in my tummy, Mommy Did you eat the ball"

Yun Ling couldn't help but smile and softly said, "Mommy didn't eat Tuan Tuan. A new Tuan Tuan grew in her tummy. In a little while, when it gets bigger, you'll be able to see it."

Looking at her two sons, as white and soft as marshmallows, her heart softened too.

I was still hesitant about having a second child so soon, but now I'm actually looking forward to it. It's really happening!

What's the new Tuan Tuan like, is it the same as your little brother

The fire團 retracted its hand, its eyes still blinking curiously at her belly.

Xiao Bi Cheng immediately replied, "It's not a younger brother, it's a younger sister."

"What's a little sister Is she as tasty as red fruits, the ones that grow in Grandpa's yard" Huo Tuan licked his lips. He only remembered Xin Tuan Tuan grew from Mommy's tummy, so maybe she could be eaten too.

Xiao Bicheng flushed, “My younger sister is… just like Nuo'er elder sister, she’s a ball of sweetness. She’s just younger than you all, so she’s my little sister.”

The snow man nodded, seeming to understand but not fully. He let go of his collar and no longer seemed nervous.

"Duanduan likes Nu'er sister and her younger sister Tuan."

"Sister group! Sister group!"

The fire monster roared with excitement, jumping and clapping its hands.

The Taishang Huang also stroked his beard and nodded, chuckling happily: “If this child could be a daughter, that would be even better. Then the third child and his wife would both have children, making a perfect pair.”

Xiao Bi Cheng, hearing this, cast an excited glance towards Emperor Zhao Ren.

Look, everyone wants Ling'er to give birth to a daughter.

Emperor Zhaoren twitched the corner of his mouth, afraid to upset the Taishang Huang, so he didn't say anything more.

Xiao Bicheng began to look forward with great anticipation to his daughter's birth.

He was looking at the two bundles and suddenly regretted not having cherished their nicknames when they were younger. He should have called them "Zhao Mei" and "Pan Mei" instead.

But no matter what, before the child was born, he called out like that. What if he really summoned his daughter

Xiao Bicheng pondered for a long time, and then called over Dongqing and Shuangli. He instructed them to lead the palace maids in selecting all objects related to Guanyin of Childbearing from the storeroom and transport them to an empty hall in the East Palace.

Throughout history, ordinary people have worshipped the Guanyin Bodhisattva primarily to seek sons. This is likely because they feared that Guanyin might mistakenly send a child to the wrong family.

Finally, Yun Ling only saw Shuang Li and the others carrying out several large boxes from the storeroom. Inside were all kinds of Guanyin statues of Fertility, Guanyin ornaments of Fertility, and carved Guanyin of Fertility...

After closing the large chest, Holly also took out several yellow talismans covered with strange patterns and pasted them all around the chest.

Yun Ling finally couldn't help but ask, "What on earth are you doing"

"To the Princess Consort, it was ordered by His Highness that we prepare these Sending-Child Guanyin statues to be taken out of the East Palace."

Dongqing rubbed her arms. To count all these things, she and several other palace maids almost worked themselves to death, flipping through the inventory list until their eyes were crossed.

Where did this letter come from

"Oh... It was specially requested by His Royal Highness the Prince from the Fengmian National Master. He said it could seal the power of this Guanyin of Fertility."

"Who would Feng Mian paint He'd actually paint something like this"

Yun Ling's eyes twitched violently. Xiao Bi Cheng having a seizure was one thing, but Feng Mian joining in the madness too. Being the only male at the table and having just met Xu Qinghuan, she didn't understand her personality or mannerisms and dared not say or do much. 。"Mr. Xu, I've organized all the materials you sen...
