It was the Lantern Festival at this time, and the market was decorated with lights and colorful decorations. There were not only many performers, but also countless audiences, which made the entire market crowded.
Qiucao had never visited such a market before, so she was naturally eager to try it. Unfortunately, there were too many people in the market, and she had a full stomach, so the two of them did not stay in the market longer and went directly back to Pushe Mansion.
Since hearing that King Mu was released, the two fathers and daughters have not seen each other. Li Gongchui has been worried, fearing that something might happen to his daughter. Now that his daughter suddenly came back, Li Gongchui could not help but be so excited that he burst into tears and almost threw himself at her.
Thank heaven on earth.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Li Gongchui welcomed the people into the house.
When the ladies and concubines saw Qiucao, they couldn't help but howl again.[
At first, Qiucao deliberately wanted to comfort them, but she didn't want them to cry even more when she opened her mouth, so she had to retreat with a black line on her face and sit aside to eat, letting them cry their fill.
After Qiucao had finished her dinner, the women had also finished crying. They gathered around her and asked her how she was doing in the palace, while occasionally pulling her up from the chair and turning her around to see if she was being abused.
Need to lose weight or something.
Amid the chirping greetings, she suddenly shouted, "Yingrong, have you gained weight recently? Why has your belly become so big?"
As he said that, he stretched out his hand to pat her belly.
An arm quickly came over and grabbed the hand that was about to pat Qiucao's belly.
The noisy hall fell silent instantly. Everyone lowered their heads in astonishment, looking at the hand that was not far from Qiucao's belly and about to slap it down and the big palm that was clasping that hand, and their eyes followed the big palm upwards.
Qiucao opened her mouth and was about to say something. Before she could say anything, she saw everyone in the hall knelt down in shock at Mu Zhaochu's serious expression.
Well……
Tell them to get up. Mu Zhaozhen's expression is serious enough, so don't call them. The people kneeling in this hall are all elders.
Qiucao didn't know what to do and could only freeze there in embarrassment.
While hesitating, he saw Mu Zhaoxu slowly letting go of his mother's hand, holding himself a little away from the women, and then calmly said, "The queen is pregnant."
