When the four children arrived together, they promptly presented the birthday gifts they had prepared for Xiao Changyi to him.
Su Yijing’s gift to Xiao Changyi was a longevity poem he wrote himself. Of course, this poem was originally composed by an ancestor; he rely wrote it on paper as a gift for Xiao Changyi.
Su Yixing, on the other hand, selected a pair of priceless Dragon and Phoenix Black Jade from his collection of treasures to give to Xiao Changyi.
An Yiqing’s gift was a particularly fierce cricket. As he presented it to his father, he told him that this cricket was unbeatable in battles, and so far, no other cricket could defeat it. He insisted that his father take good care of it, which made An Jing laugh despite herself.
An Yiyun, unsure of what to give, recited a lengthy "Filial Piety" poem for Xiao Changyi as a birthday gift. The poem, composed by an ancestor, was long and typically hard for children to morize, but An Yiyun recited it fluently.
No matter what the four children gave, Xiao Changyi accepted all of it.
Su Chengyu, the Emperor, was unable to co, so he sent the Crown Prince Su Muchen to congratulate Xiao Changyi, naturally bringing along birthday gifts for him.
Ye Zhi, Gong Juechen, Li Wuyu, Wang Youbao, and Gong Juese also ca to the mansion of the King of Xiyun to celebrate Xiao Changyi’s birthday.
Li Wuyu is now a Deputy General and can freely enter and exit the military camp, and can also choose to live at ho.
An Jing did not separate the guests into multiple tables; instead, everyone gathered around one large table to enjoy Xiao Changyi’s birthday feast.
Only after Xiao Changyi, the birthday star, ate longevity noodles did the others pick up their chopsticks and begin eating.
The atmosphere was very lively.
Gong Juechen served so atballs to Ye Zhi and then smiled at An Jing, saying: "Jingjing, how about I check your pulse? If you’re diagnosed as pregnant today, it would be the best birthday gift for Changyi."
Xiao Changyi: "..." Your crow mouth, I’d rather never have such a birthday gift!
Even though he had promised his wife that he would be happy if she were pregnant, he still didn’t want his wife to suffer the pain of childbirth.
The fact that she hadn’t had her period for several days was already known to anyone who was even slightly familiar with her. At this point, An Jing was accustod to it and wasn’t embarrassed, so she boldly said: "Go ahead, check it. If I am pregnant, I won’t mind you coming over every day to freeload a al."
"That’s what you said!" Gong Juechen was particularly delighted and put down his chopsticks before approaching An Jing enthusiastically.
Recently, he had checked An Jing’s pulse a few tis. Other than finding that her vital energy was increasing, indicating she might be pregnant, he couldn’t conclusively confirm her pregnancy.
Once he placed a cloth over her wrist, Gong Juechen started taking her pulse. Initially, he was all smiles, but as soon as he felt sothing, his smile vanished almost instantly.
This made everyone worried, fearing that An Jing had so health issue.
Especially Xiao Changyi, who was worried to death.
Before Xiao Changyi could ask any questions, Gong Juechen hesitantly said, "Let sort this out, sort this out. This shouldn’t be possible... How could it be..."
Only then did Xiao Changyi refrain from asking, choosing to wait for Gong Juechen to sort things out, lest he disturb Gong Juechen and cause him to misdiagnose his wife.
But even without asking, his heart was still in his throat, fearing that his wife might have so health problem.
