Chapter 157 Why do you cry harder the more I talk?
It was clear that at this moment, Nan Yingzhi's pupil color was no different from that of ordinary people, and he did not call himself "Gu".
But of the other four people present, Song Cheng and Song Yue had already known about it. Yun Ji knew Nan Yingzhi very well and could recognize her at a glance. Lan Fu, who had just met her, also understood the news revealed by Song Yue.
The one who was smiling and talking to Concubine Lian with a sarcastic tone was the Regent.
Originally, Lan Fu brought up the Regent just to intimidate her own young lady and make her take care of herself.
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly saw the real person and couldn't help showing embarrassment.
"Your Highness," Lan Fu lowered her head quickly after being caught red-handed, "I'm sorry, your servant..."
"No need to apologize," Nan Yingzhi was talking to Lan Fu, but her eyes were on Yun Ji, "I also want to thank you for helping to persuade Lian Zhaoyi when I couldn't be with her."
He never thought that Nan Yingzhi saw all of his reckless actions of rushing forward. Her words "take care of yourself" echoed in Yun Ji's ears, and he subconsciously felt guilty.
He walked over a few steps, gently pulled Nan Yingzhi's sleeve, lowered his eyes, lowered his voice, and tried to ease the embarrassment by acting coquettishly: "Little Gardenia."
"Be careful." After all, she couldn't bear to blame him. Nan Yingzhi imitated him and lowered her voice. "If anything happens to you, what will I do?"
Yun Ji originally wanted to say something in response to her words, but when he saw that there were people around him, he stopped talking.
"You chat." Song Cheng, who had become more perceptive after Nan Yingzhi's last instruction, said politely, "Your Highness and my sister will be guarding outside the palace."
Nodding, Nan Yingzhi gently placed her hand on Yun Ji's shoulder and whispered in his ear: "Let's go in."
Trying his best to restrain himself, he subconsciously leaned towards her. Yun Ji said "hmm" and obediently followed her in.
The main hall is wider than the side hall, and even has more chairs, so it can accommodate more people at the same time.
Nan Yingzhi was not picky and sat down on the rosewood chair at random.
Seeing Yun Ji looking around but not sitting down, she couldn't help wondering: "What's wrong?"
"Xiao Zhizi," he met her eyes and said in a timid voice, but boldly: "I, I want to sit on your lap."
Seeing his eyelashes fluttering, Nan Yingzhi's heart softened.
Even though she knew they would have to stay for a while and her legs would most likely get numb from his sitting, Nan Yingzhi still couldn't bear it and said no.
"Qingchuan'er," she extended her hand to Yunji and smiled gently, "Please sit down."
Satisfied, his eyes twinkled like stars in the sky: "Xiao Zhizi, it's great that you can come here today."
"Actually, I planned to come here today in advance." Seeing Yun Ji sitting on her lap, just at eye level with her, Nan Yingzhi suddenly felt like she was his mount, "Originally, I wanted to tell you through Song Yue.
"I was afraid that you knew the date and would be tired of waiting, so I didn't let her tell you. She came quietly, just as a surprise for you.
"How is it? Are you glad to see me?"
"I am not just happy to see you in advance, but I am extremely happy." Encouraged by Nan Yingzhi's eyes, Yun Ji's courage rose in his heart. He took the initiative to kiss the corner of her mouth, and said vaguely, "Xiao Zhizi, I missed you a lot these days."
After spending some time with him, Nan Yingzhi measured his waist with her palm, with distress in her eyes: "Why are you losing weight again? Didn't you eat well in the palace these few days?"
Seeing Yun Ji's avoidance of gaze and silence for a while, Nan Yingzhi suddenly recalled the "wonderful use" of the joy powder that Dugu Yue had mentioned.
I can’t eat well, could it be that I’m pregnant?
Since I have never been pregnant, my only knowledge about pregnancy comes from novels written by domineering bosses, such as "the hero and the heroine are getting a divorce, the heroine is retching in the car, and the hero tears up the divorce agreement."
Nan Yingzhi only knew that pregnancy would cause nausea, but she had no idea when the nausea would start and end, as well as other symptoms of pregnancy.
Out of probing, she carefully rubbed Yun Ji's slightly cold hands and asked, "How's your appetite these days?"
He had not been eating well, but he did not want to make her worry, so he avoided the main point and selectively told the truth: "It's fine, no different from before."
"No difference." After savoring these four words, Nan Yingzhi suddenly realized, "That is, I don't have much appetite?"
"Little Gardenia," Yun Ji was afraid that saying a few more words would make her more worried, so he quickly changed the subject, "Didn't you say that you would do it for me at the hunting ground? I'm looking forward to it."
Considering that he was most likely pregnant, Nan Yingzhi felt something was wrong when she heard him mention this, and her brows slowly frowned.
Even though she was thinking about other things, her words were still as gentle as a feather: "Of course I haven't forgotten. I have been learning cooking for you in my free time these few days."
"You," Yun Ji stumbled over his words as he accepted such obvious kindness for the first time. It was clearly a question, but it sounded like a statement, "You learned it specifically for me."
"If not for you, then who else could it be for?"
Taking in his trance-like look, Nan Yingzhi's heart, which had been as calm as an ancient well, suddenly began to ripple.
Enjoying the pleasure brought by the heartbeat at this moment, she couldn't help but leave some of her own marks on Yun Ji's exposed fair skin.
"Be confident, my Qingchuan baby," Nan Yingzhi kissed him until he was panting, and then she reluctantly let go of his lips, "I'm very lazy, and like an enzyme, I have specificity.
"In a nutshell, I will only cook for you."
Even though he was not breathing well and his heart was beating wildly due to her endless love talk, Yun Ji still insisted and responded to her intermittently: "Little Gardenia, Little Gardenia..."
When he called her, Nan Yingzhi suddenly realized that there was something wrong with cooking for him while hunting.
"Qingchuan'er, the ingredients in the hunting grounds are all freshly hunted prey, mostly meat, there are no vegetarian dishes. Lingfeng said that you don't like all-meat food."
After a few seconds of pausing and seeing him waiting for the next words, Nan Yingzhi continued: "How about, when the matter is done and we return to the capital safely, I will do it for you again?"
"No." Yun Ji, who had always been extremely obedient to her suggestions, rarely shook his head and whispered back, "You promised to cook for me."
"I didn't say I wouldn't cook for you."
Seeing his drooping eyes, Nan Yingzhi keenly noticed that he was like a brightly blooming flower just now, but now he looked like an eggplant hit by frost, extremely wilted.
Noticing that he was not in good condition, she panicked and argued with him, “It’s just that the food there is limited.
“My cooking skills will be greatly reduced, and you will most likely not be able to eat it because of the limited ingredients.
"This is not a good thing, you will blame yourself and think it's your own fault, but I don't want you to fall into that situation.
"So, I'm discussing with you whether we should change the time. This might be better."
"I do not want."
Perhaps because she was pregnant, or because she was more dependent on Nan Yingzhi, Yun Ji's mood swings were much greater than usual.
Originally, it was just three words of rejection, but when he said it, he inadvertently sounded like a tearful person.
Recalling Dugu Yue's words, "Yes, there is, but whether it can be preserved is another matter", Nan Yingzhi didn't dare to reason anymore, nor did she have the courage to say anything provocative, so she could only coax him gently.
"It's my fault. I didn't do what I said."
She understood that Yun Ji was on the verge of collapse at this moment and could be completely shattered at any time because of an inappropriate word from her.
She quickly admitted her mistake: "As long as you wait, I will not break my promise. When we go hunting, I will make you something delicious.
“With such a rich variety of meat ingredients, I guarantee that I can cook them in front of you.
"I can grill the skewers, brush them with oil, sprinkle some cumin on them, and burn them with firewood underneath. Once they're grilled, the aroma spreads ten miles away, and the kids next door will cry with envy.
“But I won’t give it to them, only to you.
"If there's rice, I can also make minced meat for you and add some chopped green onions to remove the fishy smell. It's guaranteed to increase your appetite.
"Why is it that the more I talk, the harder you cry, are you drooling from the corners of your eyes because of greed?
"Qingchuan'er, Qingchuan'er, is what I just said not to your liking?
"If there's anything you like, I'll learn it right away and try to make one for you!"
Even though he was sobbing with sadness, Yun Ji still denied it in a low voice: "No, it's not to my taste."
Xiao Zhizi is willing to cook for him, so what is there for him to be picky about?
"Then why are you crying all the time? It makes me feel so sad."
I don’t know which words made Yun Ji’s tears well up again, even though he was already low in front of her.
The tears that he had been holding back in his eyes suddenly burst out, like beads that had broken off the string, and couldn't stop flowing down.
Seeing that he had makeup on his face and was about to cry like a cat, Nan Yingzhi hurriedly reached into her sleeves, took out a handkerchief, and wanted to wipe it for him.
As soon as she raised her hand, she suddenly remembered that this handkerchief was made by Yun Ji himself, passed through Yun Yan's hands, and sent to her palace.
