His tone was a little more intimate than when he greeted the emperor.
Seeing him like this, Lin Wanyi had a slight hesitation, wondering whether to make an insinuation.
Later, I still felt that it would be more sincere to say it directly.
So he said in a gentle tone.
"Second Prince, please come closer. Empress Lin has something to say to you."
The second prince's face was full of doubts. He had to get closer to say anything.
But without doubting his presence, he still moved forward.
Then I heard Lin Wanyi say.
"I'm one month pregnant. Although I haven't asked the imperial doctor to confirm it yet, I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant."
When he heard the news, the second prince was stunned.
Lin Wanyi and the emperor were surprised because they didn't expect it.
The second prince was surprised, but he didn't like it.
All of a sudden, the face that was originally smiling suddenly became a little bit disappointed and angry.
But he quickly hid it.
He then showed a half-hearted smile.
"My son, congratulations to Empress Lin, and congratulations to the emperor, you have achieved your wish. This child will definitely be a healthy and intelligent prince."
He should have been happy when he said this.
But when Lin Wanyi heard it, she felt very uncomfortable.
At just six years old, he has experienced things that many people have never experienced.
Losing a mother, being fostered, seizing a favor, poisoning, being bullied by slaves, being unfriendly to brothers and sisters...
The reason why he has grown up to be what he is today is entirely because of Lin Wanyi's appearance.
But now, Lin Wanyi has her own child.
It's probably not far away from him.
Thinking of this, he felt sad about something.
It was hundreds of times sadder than when the Fourth Prince was born.
After all, at that time, he only thought that he would lose his father's love, but now, he is likely to lose Lin Wanyi's love.
For a moment, his face was filled with a false smile.
The emperor could see it, and so could Lin Wanyi.
She was most afraid of looking like this, so she didn't plan to get pregnant in the first place.
But when the child comes, he comes.
She could only try her best to appease the second prince.
"I know that no matter how much I say now, you will feel uncomfortable, but does the second prince still remember? When you called me mother, I told myself at that time, if you are willing, I will be your mother for the rest of my life. No.
It will change because of anyone, including this child."
Lin Wanyi spoke in a very calm tone, but the second prince was a little surprised.
Not long ago, Concubine Lan also said this several times in order to win his trust.
But what’s the result?
Why not kick him away after getting pregnant?
Sometimes he even feels that he is not as good as the second princess.
At least it won't be a hindrance to anyone, right?
The second prince did not answer Lin Wanyi, but lowered his head.
The emperor wanted to say a few words, but Lin Wanyi shook his head.
It was hard for him to say anything else.
The three of us were not very happy about this lunch.
There is even some burden.
The second prince was worried about whether he would be abandoned.
Lin Wanyi was worried about whether there would be any rift with the second prince in the future.
The emperor, however, was even more worried.
For example, Lin Wanyi used too little, which is extremely disadvantageous for a pregnant person.
So he kept serving Lin Wanyi.
The rice bowls were piled high, but the emperor still didn't stop.
Finally, Lin Wanyi said something.
"That's enough, Your Majesty. The bowl can't even be filled."
Only then did the emperor control his chopsticks and stop serving dishes.
Looking at the second prince standing aside, his eyes became more and more disappointed.
After hurriedly finishing the food in the bowl, he said.
"Father and Empress Lin are eating slowly. I have also gone back to practice calligraphy. I will leave."
Lin Wanyi glanced at the second prince's low mood and hesitated to speak.
Instead, Nanny Du gave her a reassuring look, and then left with the second prince.
"Hey, it makes the child uncomfortable after all."
Lin Wanyi felt a little guilty.
The emperor saw this and did not answer immediately.
Instead, he felt that the second prince should be given some time to digest it by himself, otherwise he would have to rely on others for everything, and it would be him who would be harmed in the end.
In the back hall, the second prince was unhappy when he returned.
He fell into the quilt, his eyes filled with confusion and sadness.
Aunt Du on the side did not speak to comfort her, but instead asked.
"Have you had enough lunch, Second Prince? Do you need your servant to bring you some more?"
The second prince shook his head, originally he wanted to stay alone.
But when I saw Grandma Du's loving eyes, I suddenly felt even sadder.
"Mommy, am I unlovable?"
"how come?"
"Originally, I thought that Lin Niangniang really couldn't give birth, so she took me and my second sister under her knees to educate her. But now...she has her own child. Will my second sister and I also have a child in a few days?"
Sent away?"
When he spoke, there was a cry in his voice.
If he hadn't found out at the beginning that Lin Wanyi was poisoned and had difficulty getting pregnant, he wouldn't have let go so quickly.
Nowadays, he treats Lin Wanyi as his own mother.
Little did they know that they would have their own biological children in the future.
When he thought of this, he was so sad that he couldn't help himself.
Aunt Du let out a long sigh, walked to the bed, and then began to ask.
"What do you think, Second Prince, of your concubine's treatment of you?"
"Nature is good."
"Then why do you think she won't be nice to you anymore after she has her own child?"
The second prince fell silent.
There are some things he doesn't want to say.
I always feel like that way, I can still deceive myself.
It's a pity that he is facing Grandma Du, someone who can't tolerate even a grain of sand.
Seeing that the second prince did not speak, Grandma Du continued.
"Do you also think that in the royal family, the friendship between parents and children is exploited? Are you worried that if your concubine gives birth to a prince, you will lose the value of utilizing it? That's why you are so repulsive, right?"
Aunt Du lifted off this fig leaf, and the second prince suddenly felt embarrassed.
Then he said with a pinched neck.
"Isn't it true? Aren't Concubine Yi's relationship with the third prince, Concubine Lin's relationship with Mingruo, and Concubine Ying's relationship with the fourth prince all the same?"
He was like a wounded cub at the moment, full of defensiveness.
Even if the other party was once someone he trusted, he was showing his fangs to Nanny Du at this moment.
When Grandma Du saw this, her expression was dark and unclear.
After a moment, he spoke slowly.
"Ever since I was transferred to serve the second prince, I have never seen your concubine ask you to do anything. When you were as old as you, the third prince had been studying hard day and night, including the current fourth prince.
Even though he is still a baby in his infancy, I heard that Concubine Ying has already started to choose an escort for him."
"But what about the second prince? When you were recuperating, your concubine took medicine with you. When you liked to do carpentry, she found some notebooks. When you wanted to read and practice calligraphy, she asked you to read the calligraphy book in various ways."
