Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Chapter 138 Pregnancy

Ren Qishan was a little nervous, but it was better to take the initiative than to wait passively, so he made up his mind to go see the emperor.

The emperor was kind and asked him with concern if he was frightened.

Ren Qishan was stunned for a moment, then knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation. "Your Majesty, please punish me. I didn't know Mr. Yang was a fake. I was too ignorant of his behavior and deserve death."

"Uncle, please stand up and speak! The enemy is cunning. Uncle, you have devoted yourself to educating people and devoting yourself to learning. Little did you know that people are treacherous. It's good to learn a lesson. Not making the same mistake next time is progress."

Li Zong was completely confused. Mr. Qiu Yang had died, but he could actually return to the court, and to the Ministry of Rites that he had always dreamed of, as a fourth-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites.

When he happily packed his luggage and prepared to go home, he met Ren Qishan at the mountain gate. He saluted respectfully, but Ren Qishan didn't even look at him.

Ren Qishan suspended the academy for rectification because of the presence of spies from the Northern Desert. All personnel in the academy had to be thoroughly investigated, and all teachers had to be re-evaluated before they could continue to stay. The insufficient staff would all be recommended by the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy.

Ren Qishan called Ren Yue to the academy, slapped her in the face as soon as they met, and scolded her for recommending something to the empress dowager, which ended up betraying him.

Ren Yue felt very aggrieved. She had also heard about this matter. She couldn't believe that Li Zong had done it, but now that Li Zong had been promoted and made a fortune, she couldn't help but believe it.

Her father had scolded her, and she continued to be scolded by the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother told her to cut off contact with Li Zong, otherwise she would only fall harder and suffer greater losses. Unexpectedly, Li Zong was even more scheming than his father, relying on women to climb up the ladder, and even stepped on a woman in the end.

Ren Yue returned to the villa and lay down for three days before she regained her spirits.

She washed and dressed herself, then asked the servant to call Lanzhi over and gave her a medicine bottle: "This is what I brought from the palace. Apply it twice on the pimple and it should go away."

Lanzhi happily accepted it and quickly thanked her: "Thank you, sister."

Ren Yue asked her if she wanted to stay with Li Zong forever?

"Of course I do, but I can't even see him now."

"I've rented a house next to the Li Mansion. You can live there with me. When Li Zong comes to see you, you should hurry up and get pregnant."

Lanzhi is a smart person. She knows that Ren Yue and Li Zong’s relationship is not innocent, but she will not point it out. Li Zong will not marry Ren Yue anyway. Ren Yue is eight years older than Li Zong, so he will not want her even as a concubine.

"I'll follow my sister's arrangements for everything."

Happy events bring joy. Qin Yurou finally smiled from ear to ear. Li Zong had returned home, had been promoted, and had even been assigned to the Ministry of Rites. She warmly greeted those who came to congratulate him, and she attended all the invitations she received to attend the ladies' gatherings she could. She also enjoyed such gatherings; they gave her a sense of pride and comfort.

It was three days after Ren Yue moved in that Qin Yurou had time to come and see her. She held Ren Yue's hand and said a lot of caring words, telling her that she could tell her if there was anything the family needed.

"I'm going to hold a banquet to open my house tonight, and I'd like to invite you and your husband to come and have dinner."

Li Zong came in the evening. Facing the three women at the same table, he felt guilty and didn't know where to look.

"Yu Rou, this is my distant cousin Lancome. She's moved in with me. I hope you'll get closer to her in the future. If you meet a suitable man, she can help introduce you to someone."

Yu Rou smiled and agreed.

The first thing Li Zong did when he returned home was to tell Yu Rou not to get involved in such things, as it was better to have less trouble than more.

"Sister Ren Yue helped us so much, I was just keeping an eye on her cousin, why are you reacting so strongly?"

"I am now a fourth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites. It would be bad if the news of you associating with a widow every day got out."

"understood."

The two of them were very affectionate at night. Li Zong whispered in Qin Yurou's ear: "Let's have a child!" Qin Yurou shyly agreed.

The five golden flowers of the capital reunited in mid-June. They secretly went to the Yong'an Palace because Chen Xiaoling was pregnant.

Several people in Chen Xiaoling's room were very envious.

"You're quite capable. You're the second to last to get married and the first to get pregnant. Pass on your experience to them."

Chen Xiaoling playfully rolled her eyes at Ye Youlan: "Why don't you need experience?"

Ye Youlan leaned back in her chair and said, "I don't want to have a baby now."

Ruoyun smiled: "What experience do you have? Tell me!"

Miaoyu blushed: "How can we discuss such a thing? It's so embarrassing."

Qin Yurou smiled and listened to their quarrel quietly. Her menstruation this month was delayed for five days. After she left here, she would go to the doctor to check her pulse.

Chen Xiaoling tilted her head and said, "What's there to be shy about? You had an accident a few days ago, and she had an accident, so I couldn't go anywhere. I had nothing to do anyway, and ended up getting pregnant."

Chen Xiaoling confessed: "I'm only telling you about this. I haven't told my parents yet. Chen Su doesn't know about it now. Do you think I'm being considerate?"

Ye Youlan gave a thumbs up and said, "That's very kind, but I would like to remind you that you must pay attention to the first three months, as the fetus will only be stable after three months."

Ruoyun also reminded: "Don't do anything reckless in the first three months, be careful of Chen Su cheating on you."

Chen Xiaoling pouted and sneered, "He dares. I'm suffering with my belly sticking out, while he's enjoying himself. I'll strangle him to death if you don't see that."

Miaoyu laughed: "You are going to be a mother soon, can you change your temper?"

Ye Youlan looked at Qin Yurou and asked her why she didn't speak?

"Isn't that what I always do? I always listen to you guys talk."

Chen Xiaoling frowned. "I heard that Ren Yue moved in next door to your house. Don't trust her too much. She's not an ordinary woman."

Qin Yurou was displeased: "Xiaoling, why do you always think the worst of people, as if everyone else except us is a bad person."

"It's up to you to listen or not."

Qin Yurou stood up: "How can you treat guests like this? I'm leaving first, you guys can chat!"

Miaoyu came over and pulled Qin Yurou: "Don't be angry, Xiaoling has always been like this, she is just reminding you kindly."

Ye Youlan asked Qin Yurou to sit down. "Haven't you heard the rumors outside? They say that Li Zong sold out the academy for wealth and fame, and Ren Yue is Ren Qishan's father."

Qin Yurou sneered, "How can you use the word 'betray'? Li Zong discovered the Northern Desert spy and eliminated the evil for the court. He has made a great contribution. The academy should be grateful to Li Zong. How can they blame him?"

"You're right. Li Zong is so lucky to marry you. He should get you a royal consort."

"Yes, don't worry!"

Qin Yurou insisted on leaving and no one tried to stop her.

Chen Xiaoling looked at everyone: "Is she possessed?"

"You can never wake up a sleeping person, just let her be!"

"But Ren Yue and Li Zong are hooking up, and even the kids at the academy know about it. Now Ren Yue lives next door to her, and she wants to be good sisters with him. I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen anyone as stupid as her."
