~End of chapter 152

Zhao Zhi lowered his eyes and looked at her small belly. He held back from touching it, his expression looked as usual as he casually said, “In a few days, when the weather is good, you’ll follow me to the palace to see my mother.”

He had told his mother yesterday that Ming Zhu was pregnant.

Ming Zhu did not make a sound.

Zhao Zhi wrapped his arm around her waist and whispered in her ear, “My mother is probably going to be very happy to see the baby.”

Chapter 153

(55.3)

Ming Zhu suddenly felt that Zhao Zhi was expecting this child more than she had thought. He seemed to really like this child.

Her back became tense, and she lowered her eyes, “Alright.”

The corners of Zhao Zhi’s lips rose slightly, leaving no trace, he laughed a little. The cold frost on his face seemed to have melt from the feeling of happiness he was feeling. He tightened his hold on her and held her closer, his tone was gentle as he slowly said, “I ordered a pair of peace locks for the child, as well as two necklaces.”

Ming Zhu was unable to distinguish the feeling in her heart, as she asked in a small voice, “Isn’t it too early?”

Zhao Zhi said, “It’s not too early, if you don’t like the style of the peace lock after seeing it, you’ll still have the time to order the craftsman to redo it.”

Ming Zhu could not even continue on this topic.

Zhao Zhi looked at her belly, feeling that it was becoming more and more obvious. It was fortunate that during this period of time, her body had not encountered any trouble or accident.

“In a couple of days, I’ll have the embroiderer make some new clothes for the baby.”

“You don’t know whether it’s going to be a boy or a girl, so there’s no need to be in such a hurry to make clothes.”

Zhao Zhi’s fingers gently rested on her waist, and after a pause, he said, “It’s a girl.”

Ming Zhu looked at him with round eyes, full of confusion, and asked, “How do you know?”

Zhao Zhi explained to her, “When the doctor checked your pulse, he said that seven out of ten chances, it’s going to be a girl.”

After saying that, he smiled gently and tenderly. His frowning brow relaxed as well as he said, “It’s good if it’s a girl, I like girls.”

It was his first time being a father, so there was a very strange feeling in Zhao Zhi’s heart as well. He felt it was magical and also somewhat unbelievable. This baby seemed to be very well-behaved, it wasn’t tormenting, and was quiet and peaceful.

In the future, when it’s born, it would definitely be a very quiet and soft little girl.

These days, during his free time, Zhao Zhi was thinking about a name for the child. Finding an official name wasn’t urgent, but he had to think properly about what childhood surname to give the child.

After learning that it was a little girl, Ming Zhu’s heart melted and she closed her eyes, somewhat unable to bear it. She did not speak for a long time.

Zhao Zhi thought she was tired and did not bother her.

The maids brought over the dishes prepared by the kitchen and when Ming Zhu smelled the delicious aroma, the craving of her stomach was triggered. She stopped thinking about the baby, broke away from his arms and sat at the dining table. But, looking at the table full of dishes, she did not have any appetite.

Zhao told her to eat more so that she wouldn’t wake up hungry again in the middle of the night.

Ming Zhu repressed the heavy stone in her heart and hardened her heart, this child really couldn’t be kept.

She buried her head in her food and only put down her chopsticks when she really couldn’t eat anymore.

Later in the evening, Zhao Zhi covered the candlestick with a lampshade, before extinguishing the candles in the room one by one, leaving only two dim small lit candles at the bedside.

Standing on tiptoe, Ming Zhu cut the wick with the scissors, making the candle flame somewhat brighter.

She leaned against the pillow and read a book for a while. When the candle had burned almost to the point of extinction, that’s when she started to feel tired. Ming Zhu rubbed the area around her eyes, blew out the candle flame, slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The next day at noon, Ming Zhu first distracted Biying by making her go away, then boldly and directly ordered a maid to take the abortion medicine she had gotten yesterday to the kitchen and have them cook it.

“It’s a tonic medicine prescribed by the doctor, bring it to me once it’s cooked.”

The little maid was a new-comer and had only spoken a few words to Ming Zhu in total. She only knew that miss Ming Zhu seemed to be quite timid and didn’t think much of in her mind. Foolishly, she took the medicine to the kitchen.

The little maid watched the people in the kitchen cook the medicine, before carrying the dark soup back in front of Ming Zhu.

Inside the bowl, the black medicinal soup was still steaming, Ming Zhu lowered her head and stared at it for a long time. Her fingers couldn’t help but tighten hard on her dress. She said, “You go out first.”

“Yes.” The little girl felt that miss Ming Zhu’s complexion wasn’t looking too good, the person was also acting strange, like her soul had left her body.

Ming Zhu stared at the medicine bowl with trembling hands. Even at this time, she still was unable to stand firm on her decision.

At this very moment, the baby in her stomach suddenly kicked her. Her eyes turned red. She still couldn’t bear to do it in her heart.

The little maidservants were waiting outside the courtyard for any of their master’s call, and because they had nothing to do, they were sitting together under the corridor, embroidering pouches.

With young girls in their teens gathered all together, although they were deliberately keeping their voices down, they were still making a lot of noise.

The crown prince came back from the palace, riding on horseback. His whole body was emitting a bitter glacial air, his face was cold and expressionless.

The several little maids, frightened out of their mind, hurriedly hid the things in their hands behind their back and bowed with their head down.

Zhao Zhi didn’t even look at them, and directly kicked open the courtyard door. While he was walking, he asked in a cold voice, “Where is your miss?”

“In the room, drinking medicine.”
