Chapter 381: Chapter 362: Shockingly Reading This Kind of "Book", Stomach Pain to the Point of Giving Birth_2

The Empress smiled, "Now I understand why the Crown Prince dotes exclusively on Lady Shen, who wouldn’t like a person like this? If I were a man, I would like her as well."

Upon hearing this, Qing Ying also smiled.

Xiao Jinyu hadn’t forgotten Shen Chuwei’s promise to give him the Fetal Education Book after he had dealt with the crayfish issue.

When time allowed, he came to Shen Chuwei to ask for the book.

Shen Chuwei was generous, giving Xiao Jinyu a very thick Fetal Education Book.

Xiao Jinyu received the impressive Education Book and cheerfully left by vaulting over the wall.

Seeing the Crown Prince’s excited little expression, Shen Chuwei hoped he wouldn’t teach the children any mischief~

After returning, Xiao Jinyu immediately opened the very impressive Fetal Education Book to read.

After reading two pages, he realized something was amiss.

"What is Jinyu looking at?"

A cool and jade-like voice suddenly came from behind him, startling Xiao Jinyu so much that he abruptly stood up, and the book in his hand accidentally fell to the ground.

Lady Han looked at the book on the ground, bent over to pick it up, and opened the first page.

Xiao Jinyu reached out, trying to take it back, "Lady Han, this book is not suitable for you to read."

Lady Han raised her head to look at Xiao Jinyu, her smile sly, "Is it suitable for Jinyu, then?"

Xiao Jinyu had grown a lot in the past year and a half, and he was almost catching up to Xiao Jinyan.

Therefore, at this moment, Lady Han’s presence before him felt less oppressive.

"This isn’t my book."

Lady Han glanced through and realized it discussed knowledge about women’s pregnancies.

"Then why does Jinyu want to read such a book?"

Xiao Jinyu sure wouldn’t admit that it was to make her obedient~

"I’ve been idle lately, just passing time," Xiao Jinyu said, and with that, he snatched the book from her hands.

Lady Han, with her cool and clear eyes, looked at Xiao Jinyu, not saying a word.

Feeling a chill on the back of his neck from her stare, Xiao Jinyu stepped forward to take her hand, explaining, "This is my sister-in-law’s book. I was just curious and took a look."

Lady Han nodded, "I just didn’t expect Jinyu to be so interested in this."

Xiao Jinyu smiled, feeling a bit embarrassed~

Deep into the silent night

Shen Chuwei woke up from hunger, and once awakened by hunger, found herself unable to fall asleep again.

She opened her eyes and glanced at the man sleeping soundly beside her, thinking that she probably wouldn’t be noticed if she got out of bed stealthily, right?

She carefully lifted the blanket and crawled over Xiao Jinyan to the other side. After putting on her shoes, she picked up the Night Pearl from the bedside and tiptoed to the couch with the light of the Night Pearl guiding her.

There was a cabinet made of huanghuali wood on the couch, filled with delicious pastries.

She sat cross-legged on the couch, uncaring of the cold, opened the cabinet, and took out a few pieces of Date Paste Cake and Chestnut Crisp.

After eating several pieces, she felt a bit thirsty.

As she reached for the teapot, she saw a tea cup being handed to her. She thanked the person with a "Thank you."

"Between husband and wife, why bother with thanks?"

The action of drinking tea paused, and Shen Chuwei raised her head to see Xiao Jinyan standing behind her. He was shaking out a fox fur and then draped it over her shoulders.

"If you were hungry, why didn’t you wake me up?"

Xiao Jinyan had woken the moment Chuwei got out of bed, thinking she was getting up to relieve herself. When he followed her, he found out she was actually hungry.

"Seeing you sleeping so soundly, I didn’t have the heart to wake you," Shen Chuwei said as she took a few sips of tea and picked up a Date Paste Cake to continue eating.

Xiao Jinyan spoke gently, "You’re pregnant now, and there’s no light in the room. What if you’d fallen?"

Shen Chuwei smiled and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to eat?"

Xiao Jinyan: "No need."

After eating two more pieces and feeling full, Shen Chuwei rinsed her mouth.

Before she could step down from the couch, Xiao Jinyan swept her up into a sideways carry and carried her directly to the bedside.

However, Xiao Jinyan didn’t put Shen Chuwei down, instead continuing to hold her.

"Feeling sleepy?"

In the dead of night, the man’s voice, like a hook, tickled her in her ear.

"...Not too bad."

Xiao Jinyan lowered his head and kissed her soft lips with precision.

These past days, Xiao Jinyan had been busy, but now, with a beautiful woman in his arms, how could he possibly resist?

Shen Chuwei could never have imagined that a sneaky snack would lead to an unexpected exercise session.

Fortunately, she was a Letian Faction member, taking it as a way of aiding digestion~

Xiao Jinyan liked it when she called him Jinyan.

This time was no exception.

Out of the beat, Shen Chuwei’s voice broke, "Jinyan... Brother..."

Xiao Jinyan paused in his movements, his gaze as deep as the sea.

This was the first time Little Nine had called him Brother Jinyan; it sounded very familiar to him, as if someone else had used it as well.

In the following period, Xiao Jinyan suddenly had more free time. It used to be Chun Xi accompanying her on walks every day, but now it was Xiao Jinyan taking over.

The late autumn breeze carried the chill of winter days.

Shen Chuwei was led by Xiao Jinyan, taking one step at a time towards the Imperial Garden.

Shen Chuwei tugged at Xiao Jinyan’s hand, "Your Highness, we’ve walked for so long, shall we rest for a bit?"

Xiao Jinyan looked back and from that position, they could still see the entrance to the East Palace.

"It’s just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea from the East Palace to here. You are nine months pregnant and not far from giving birth, walking more is always beneficial."

"Fine!" Shen Chuwei had no choice but to continue walking with Xiao Jinyan.

After about half an hour, Shen Chuwei didn’t want to walk anymore, but the Crown Prince was still in high spirits, showing no intention of resting.

Wait until the two children are born, then see who dares to drag her for walks!

Suddenly, a contraction from the belly caused Shen Chuwei to go weak in the knees, but fortunately, Xiao Jinyan was holding her hand all along and managed to support her in time.

Xiao Jinyan saw her frown tightly and worried to no end, "What’s wrong?"

Shen Chuwei held her stomach, and it took her a while to get three words out, "My stomach hurts."

Xiao Jinyan, experiencing this for the first time, was scared.

"Could it be that you are going into labor?"

Thinking she might be going into labor, Xiao Jinyan carried her sidewise and hurried back.
