First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 411 Qu Wanning is pregnant

How could Wei Ling, who grew up in the capital, not understand the shameful conflicts hidden in these so-called gatherings?

If he was in Mangcheng before, he was the Marquis of Zhenbei, and Su Jixiang was the most powerful among the women in Mangcheng, then the conspiracy that could not be exposed would never be brought to Su Jixiang's sight. But it was different when he returned to the capital.

He couldn't hide Su Jixiang for the rest of her life, so he had to let her go out and attend such gatherings.

In this case, Su Jixiang would inevitably be dazzled by some of the things in it. However, Wei Ling believed that with Su Jixiang's intelligence and talent, he would definitely not be afraid of those things.

Besides, he still has some face in front of His Majesty. Even if others want to humiliate Su Jixiang, they must consider his identity.

Su Jixiang replied to the invitations to the mansions that Wei Ling had selected for her and asked someone to deliver them.

Just after finishing this matter, I heard someone report that General Qu had come with Xie Yingfeng and Qu Wanning.

They all returned to Beijing together, and it had been so many days since they met again. Su Jixiang was naturally happy. He ordered the preparation of the banquet and personally went to welcome General Qu and his party.

Wei Ling accompanied General Qu and Xie Yingfeng to the study, while Su Jixiang brought Qu Wanning to the flower hall.

Now, the former Duke's Mansion, now the Marquis of Zhenbei Mansion has returned to Wei Ling's hands. Although it has only been a few days, thanks to the efforts of Wei Ling and Su Jixiang, the Marquis' Mansion has regained some vitality.

"Why don't you look well?" Su Jixiang asked with concern, noticing Qu Wanning's haggard face. "Are you not used to being back in the capital?"

When Qu Wanning heard Su Jixiang's question, her face turned red.

"Not really." She looked at Su Jixiang a little shyly. "I haven't come to see you these past few days. You've put so much effort into this house, and now it's finally settled, so I hurried over to congratulate you." She then took out a box and pushed it in front of Su Jixiang. "This is my gift to you!"

Outsiders did not know that Wei Ling had bought the house. As for the fact that His Majesty had specially bestowed the plaque of Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, although it spread throughout the capital, few people knew the ins and outs of it.

His Majesty did this specifically, ostensibly to show everyone how much he valued Wei Ling, but in fact, he was secretly warning Wei Ling. He knew everything that happened in the Wei family!

But Qu Wanning and the others knew. After all, Su Jixiang never hid anything from her.

"Wow, such a big box, you've made a fortune?" Su Jixiang said with a smile. "But why should we do this? I appreciate your kindness, so forget about the gift money!" She wanted to return the gift money.

"No!" Qu Wanning refused. "You must accept this! If you hadn't come to the palace to save me, I wouldn't be where I am today. I couldn't give you any gifts when you got married, and it's a big deal that this house is back in your hands. No matter what, you must accept this money! This is my gift. If you don't, don't come to me again!"

Hearing Qu Wanning say this, Su Jixiang had no choice but to let Lu Shui put the box away.

Seeing Su Jixiang accept the gift money, Qu Wanning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, I heard from Xie Yingfeng that you have received many invitations. Maybe you are going to attend a banquet in the capital, so I hurried over. The banquets in the capital are the best at flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. I'm afraid that few of the dresses you brought from Mangcheng are useful. It's too late to find an embroiderer to make them now. Tomorrow I will accompany you to the street to buy a few sets of clothes and have them altered according to your figure so that you can make do with them." Qu Wanning said to Su Jixiang.

Su Jixiang was stunned for a moment. She really hadn't considered these things!

In order to make things easier for her in Mangcheng, she did dress simply as Qu Wanning said. After all, she was the most prestigious person in Mangcheng, so no one would criticize her clothes as long as she didn't wear something too strange. But things were really different when she came to the capital.

Even for the sake of Wei Ling and the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion, she couldn't make do as she did before.

"You've thought it through! It's settled!" Su Jixiang said with a smile.

"You! You're great at making money, but you just can't dress yourself!" Qu Wanning raised his hand and tapped Su Jixiang's forehead. "Beijing is different from other places. Many things require careful attention!"

"Don't I have you here? Anyway, you are by my side, so just help me think about these things. Please accompany me to these gatherings!" Su Jixiang said with a smile, and she affectionately took Qu Wanning's arm.

"I'm afraid it won't work." Qu Wanning couldn't help but touch her lower abdomen, and a blush appeared on her cheeks again.

Su Jixiang was startled again, watching her gently caressing her lower abdomen. Then a light bulb went off in his head, and his eyes widened immediately, "Are you pregnant?"

Qu Wanning couldn't hide her smile, her face full of shy joy.

She nodded slightly.

"When did you find out?" Su Jixiang was also surprised and happy. He quickly sat up straight, fearing that he would crush Qu Wanning.

"It was just two days ago." Qu Wanning smiled. "I vomited while eating. At first I thought it was due to the bumpy road and my stomach upset, so I asked a doctor to take a look. Who knew it wasn't what I thought, but that I was pregnant! And it's only been a little over two months, not even three months yet."

Qu Wanning had irregular menstruation before, and it was common for her to be delayed for half a month. She hadn't had her period for more than a month before leaving Mangcheng. Later, everyone was on the road all the time, so they completely forgot about it.

Su Jixiang calculated the days and suddenly turned pale with fear. "You've lost your mind! We were in such a hurry to get here, you didn't even take care of yourself!"

Qu Wanning felt a little guilty and scared after being scolded by Su Jixiang. "It's a good thing nothing happened." She said with a bit of embarrassment.

"Then don't go shopping for clothes with me tomorrow!" Su Jixiang said.

They have been married for many years. Many of the palace maids who got married at the same time have already given birth to their second child. Even Hua Rui has a son. However, there has been no pregnancy in their stomachs.

Now that Qu Wanning is pregnant, Su Jixiang is shocked and scared!

Qu Wanning is pregnant, so she definitely cannot accompany the party. There are many people at the party, and if someone does something bad and causes Qu Wanning to have an accident, what will she say to Xie Yingfeng?

"That's not so scary!" Qu Wanning said with a smile, "I can still go shopping with you. I have to go and check things out for you, but you'll have to rely on yourself for the party!"
