Not to ntion the maids serving inside the room, even the maid standing outside the beaded curtain was almost suffocating from holding back laughter.
No wonder Miss Nie and Prince NanAn always went at each other, he really knows how to get under people’s skin.
It’s not just Prince NanAn who knows how to irk people, her young lady can do the sa.
These maids were mostly hired in Yinzhou, they hadn’t been to the Capital City before and didn’t know Princess Nanan.
They only heard that Prince NanAn often annoyed their young lady, but they didn’t expect that their gentle and kind young lady would be so eloquent and sharp-tongued when facing Prince NanAn.
However, in this round, Nie Yao was clearly at a disadvantage, and she was so upset that she tried to pull Prince NanAn up to make him leave.
It’s a pity her strength was small; Prince NanAn sat there steadily, unmoved even when Nie Yao exerted all her might.
Unable to budge him, Nie Yao not only ceded the Arhat Couch but also let him occupy the entire room.
Watching Nie Yao stride away.
Prince NanAn, "...".
This woman’s temper is getting worse.
But it’s okay, Nie Yao walked out first, he followed soon after.
Nie Yao’s courtyard didn’t have many people, but seeing a man, and he’s a handso man, coming out of Nie Yao’s boudoir, well, that sort of impact wasn’t small.
The maids and old servants were stunned.
Nie Yao’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
One maid quickly introduced, "This is Prince NanAn."
The maids and old servants hurriedly stepped forward to greet.
Their attitude was very respectful.
Yet deep down they felt sothing was amiss.
Even if they are engaged, they’re not married yet; how could he stay in the young lady’s boudoir?
Nie Yao was almost driven mad by Prince NanAn’s antics.
Can’t he have so decency?!
With things this way, Nie Yao dared not go out, she gritted her teeth and went back inside.
Before entering the room, Prince NanAn ordered so small dishes.
He hadn’t had lunch yet.
The maid was obedient, she quickly went to the kitchen to order food for Prince NanAn.
After entering the room, they were glaring at each other.
Until the al was served, and Prince NanAn had his fill.
Feeling sowhat exhausted, he finally fell asleep on the small couch.
Seeing no reaction from Prince NanAn for ages, Nie Yao glanced sideways repeatedly, and a maid quietly stepped forward to check, saying, "Miss, Prince is asleep."
Only then did Nie Yao retract her angry expression.
The maid said, "He must have rushed here to Yinzhou to see Miss, without resting on the way, he’s worn out."
"Who asked him to co," Nie Yao said.
"Miss, Prince is also concerned about you," said the maid.
Nie Yao said nothing.
She didn’t deny she was a bit happy to see him, but his words were downright irritating.
Feeling a bit hungry, Nie Yao picked up a red bean cake, and bit into it vigorously.
Still had the cheek to call her fat!
Does he think she wants to eat so much?
It’s not like not eating doesn’t leave you famished!
The maid whispered, "How long does Miss plan to keep it a secret?"
Being able to gallop to Yinzhou just for a glance while en route to the border shows Prince has Miss in his heart.
Telling him Miss is expecting a baby, Prince would surely be happy.
And Old Marquis, he’d surely be the happiest.
But Nie Yao stuck to her original plan, "Hide it for as long as possible, lest Grandfather worry about at the border."
The maid could only comply with her wishes, watching as her belly swelled day by day, now it might still be hidden from the maids and old servants, but it wouldn’t be long before it’s impossible to conceal.
Nie Yao took a thin blanket to cover Prince NanAn, then sat there stitching.
After arriving in Yinzhou, life was leisurely, Nie Yao hired an embroideress to teach her sewing, although her embroidery wasn’t pretty yet, it’s much improved from before.
Prince NanAn was truly exhausted, his sleep lasted until dusk.
Upon waking, he saw Nie Yao sewing.
For a mont, he was really dazed, as if he were dreaming.
But, it was a pretty good dream.
He just watched until Nie Yao noticed him.
Prince NanAn and Nie Yao had dinner together, afterwards, a maid accompanied Nie Yao to stroll the garden to aid digestion, while Prince NanAn climbed the wall out of the mansion.
Before leaving, he caught a maid and asked a few questions, after leaving, he went straight to Doctor Liu’s house.
In the Capital City, he didn’t figure out what was wrong with Nie Yao, now wouldn’t it be clear?
By the ti he arrived at Doctor Liu’s dicine shop, it was already closed.
However, Doctor Liu’s family lived right behind the shop, Prince NanAn climbed the wall to confront them, alarming Doctor Liu’s family.
Prince NanAn asked Doctor Liu about Nie Yao’s illness.
Doctor Liu looked at him, questioning cautiously, "Who are you, why inquire about Miss Nie?!"
"Who am I?" Prince NanAn chuckled.
"I’m her fiancé."
Fiancé?
Prince NanAn?
Doctor Liu grew more suspicious.
Miss Nie wasn’t sick at all, she was pregnant, but seeing his deanor seed oblivious.
Doctor Liu had a stray thought, could it be Miss Nie was pregnant with soone else’s child, not Prince NanAn’s?
Marquis Yangnan treated him well, it was precisely because of this trust that Nie Yao periodically asked Doctor Liu to check her peaceful pulse.
Prince NanAn intended to solicit information from Doctor Liu, but it surely wouldn’t get anywhere, "Miss Nie isn’t suffering from anything serious, Prince need not worry."
Yet again being told not to worry.
Why does everyone say this?!
"If it’s nothing serious, why nurse it for ten months?" Prince NanAn snapped.
"... ."
Prince NanAn didn’t understand this remark, but Doctor Liu grasped it at once.
Soone was subtly hinting to him, but it wasn’t spelled out clearly, Prince NanAn hadn’t married a wife, hadn’t fathered a child, he didn’t know.
Doctor Liu concocted a tale, bewildering Prince NanAn thoroughly.
Nonetheless, Doctor Liu repeatedly assured him, Miss Nie wasn’t in any mortal peril, only then did Prince NanAn feel at ease.
Finding accommodations at an inn, Prince NanAn even went to look in on Nie Yao once more, seeing her sleeping then returned to the inn.
The next day, as the maid drew back the gauze curtain, Nie Yao startled her.
After the shock, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Because Nie Yao’s forehead and face were painted with several turtles.
Nie Yao rose from bed, looked into the copper mirror, that was countless tis, cursing Prince NanAn.
The maid, stifling her laughter, made the bed, spotting a piece of paper under the pillow.
Picked it up, it was unexpectedly a silver note worth ten thousand taels.
"Miss, Prince NanAn left a silver note worth ten thousand taels for you," the maid said happily.
Nie Yao hadn’t expected Prince NanAn would leave her so much money.
But this silver note of ten thousand taels couldn’t offset the anger of Prince NanAn painting turtles on her face!
Seeing Nie Yao’s angry look, the maid discreetly retrieved fetus-preserving dicine from the bottom of a chest, and let her have one just in case.
As for Prince NanAn, he woke at daybreak, leaving the silver note for Nie Yao, casually painted a turtle, and taking what she prepared for Marquis Yangnan, left.
Buying a few at buns along the way, he urgently rode to et up with Chu Shun and the others.
Not long after the sun rose, Prince NanAn started sneezing one after another.
But it didn’t affect his cheerful mood.
