The Princess Of 100 Talents
Chapter #115

Upon learning that Empress An was pregnant, Prince Rong's attitude changed. He became a warmer man, and was also very careful of Empress An.

The queen, the emperor and other royal members had also learned of the pregnancy of Empress An, and they were happy too.

"From now on, you're not allowed to practice anymore." Prince Rong.

"Okay, I understand."

"You must not go out of the palace at all."

"Yes, your honor."

"And so....."

"Stop doing that, empress An won't act recklessly. He knows what he has to do and doesn't." Raru said who had just arrived together with the 5th prince.

"The queen's mother is right, you can worry about Empress An. But if it's too like that, Empress An will also have trouble wanting to do what." Prince 5.

"The queen's mother, the 5th prince." Said Empress An as she stood up.

"It's okay, you sit down." Queen's speech.

Empress An nodded then she sat back down.

"How are you doing, do you want something?" Say the queen again while sitting next to Empress An.

"No, queen mother. I don't want anything, it's just that if I smell a ginseng, my stomach will feel a little uncomfortable."

The queen nodded, "I see, it was a common thing for women in early pregnancy."

"Yes, queen mother."

"How's Princess Xiu Ying doing?" Prince Rong.

"His condition is getting better, it's just that his body still feels weak. So he can't visit you here yet." Prince 5.

"It's okay, I'll visit him later. I also still have to check the stomach of princess Xiu Ying." Said empress An.

"You want to go to Xiu Ying's brother's palace?" Prince Rong.

"True, however I have treated it. And I have to re-examine the state of princess Xiu Ying after a few days I'm not there."

"All right, I'll come with you."

"Your majesty, I'll be fine. The 5th prince also came here, he must have wanted to talk to your highness."

Prince Rong looked at his sister, and was countered by the 5th prince.

"Alright, but still you will go with me to the palace of princess Xiu Ying, after I speak to the 5th prince."

Empress An could only nod at Prince Rong's words, as she did not want to argue with her husband.

Upon seeing the nod of Empress An, prince Rong came out of his room together with the 5th prince, and they walked towards the reading room.

"She's changed a lot after finding out you're pregnant." Queen's speech.

"The queen mother was right, but I was worried if she was too like that. Because after all he was a god of war, and if anything happened at the border, he would have to hurry there."

"Yes, we can only hope that if everything will be fine, so that prince Rong does not need to go to the border."

"Yes, queen mother."

Right now it is possible at every border of Chao country is safe and fine, but no one knows what will happen tomorrow. Therefore, either prince Rong or the 5th prince always monitored the state to the 4 borders of the Chao state.

"Empress An, has the Xia family found out about your pregnancy?" Queen's speech.

"It seems like it's, queen mother."

"In the Xia family there was only one grandson and he was born imperfect. And for more than 4 years there was no more birth in that family. If you're pregnant with a boy right now, it's likely that she'll be the successor to the Xia family."

"I don't know, queen mother. However, I do not want my son to be involved in a struggle for the inheritance of wealth, which is owned by the Xia family."

"But still, you are the granddaughter of great master Xia. And after knowing your pregnancy, everyone is waiting for the birth of the child."

Empress An just silently heard that, "Whether he is a man or a woman, I will protect him with my own life. And won't let anyone hurt her."

The queen nodded, in fact she felt very happy because Empress An was pregnant, but she also felt a little worried about the pregnancy of Empress An.

...----------------...

"Mother, I heard that Empress An has become pregnant at this time. What if we visit him at the palace?" Said young master Xiao.

"You're right, we haven't seen him in a long time. After a few months ago, when commemorating the 7th day of Wei Yi's death."

"Yes, mother."

"All right, we'll be there tomorrow. I'm gonna bring you some food that women used to eat in early pregnancy."

"Good mother."

"Right now, Empress An no longer had a mother. And I don't want her to feel so lost again to the mother figure she desperately needs at times like this. So I want to make her feel comfortable when she wants something."

"Mother is right, although inside the palace there is the noble queen and the noble princess Xiu Ying. But still, empress An would definitely feel uncomfortable asking them for something."

"Yes, so today I'm going to make some sweets from fresh peaches as well as others."

"Well mother, I'll ask the waiter to buy some fruits to make them."

"Yes." Yeah."

Madam Xiao and young master Xiao loved Empress An as much as her own family, for mistress Xiao who was desperate to have a daughter, of course she felt very happy doing various things for the pregnant empress An.

And the Xia family, of course, was happy to hear the news of the pregnancy of Empress An who had reached their ears.

Some elders of the Xia family were preparing gifts for Empress An and prince Rong, which they could certainly wear when they reached 5 months of age, where the baby will noble be able to move in the belly of the empress An.

"It looks like Xia's extended family is going to throw a party for Empress An's pregnancy." Said young master Xiao.

"Of course they will do that, they must be very happy. Because there had been no births in the Xia noble family for a long time. Especially if the child that empress An and prince Rong are a boy."

"If the baby was a boy, already in make sure he would have all the wealth out Xia. Because he'll be the only successor in that family."

"You're right, in the Xia family there's only one grandson, and that's a snitch."

Young master Xiao nodded, "We should protect empress An even better, if she is pregnant with a boy, the other Xia family will definitely not stay silent."

"Yes, they're definitely going to do something. In order for empress An and her baby to be wretched, so that empress An's child will not have the chance to become the successor and obtain all of the Xia family's wealth."

"True mother."

Although Empress An was an empress, she was protected by many palace guards. For the Xia family who were noble families, they did not feel afraid to do something to Empress An.

Therefore, the Xiao family who was also a noble family would protect Empress An from outside the palace, so that the Xia family did not have the opportunity to do something that could make Empress An and her baby wretched.
