The doctor continued, âBut fortunately, the baby in the princessâs belly are safe.â
âBaby?â
Huangfu Xuanye was stunned for a moment before he regained his senses. He said happily, âYou mean⦠Cherry is pregnant?â
âYes, Your Majesty. Weâll have to wait for a while for Her Highness to go for a further examination to determine the number of days old the fetus is.â
âOkay, okay, I got it.â
Huangfu Xuanye paced back and forth in his room before returning to Ying Baoâs ward. He held her hand and looked at her lovingly.
The thought of him and Ying Bao carrying his baby was simply too amazing.
But when he thought of Ying Bao falling into the water, he felt a lingering fear. If he had not saved her in time today, wouldnât he have lost two lives?
âUncle, whatâs wrong? Am I illâ¦â
Ying Bao saw that he was just looking at her and not saying anything. She thought that she was sick.
âNo, youâre not sick⦠Cherry, youâre not sick. Youâre pregnant.â
âIâm pregnant?â Ying Baoâs eyes widened in surprise. She subconsciously touched her flat belly, unable to believe that she really had Uncle Kingâs child.
âYes, youâre pregnant with my child now. This is our first child, and it might be the future heir to the Northern Kingdom. Cherry, Iâm being kind, you know? Iâm going to be a father! Thank you. I love you, Cherry!â
Huangfu Xuanye was moved to tears and kept kissing the back of her hand. âThatâs great, Uncle. I can finally give birth to a baby for you.â Ying Bao was also very happy. She was happy that she was going to be a mother.
TICI.
She thought of her mother and asked Huangfu Xuanye for his phone. âUncle, give me your phone. I want to tell my parents about the good news.â
âYes.â
The news of Ying Baoâs pregnancy quickly spread to the Dragon Kingdom. After Jing Xi received the call, she immediately went to look for Huo Yunshen.
Huo Yunshen had just gotten out of the meeting room when he saw Jing Xi coming to pick him up. He asked in surprise, âWhatâs wrong, honey? Why are you in such a hurry to see me today? Did you miss me?â
âIâm here to tell you some good news.â
âWhatâs the good news?â Huo Yunshen asked as he took her home.
âYouâre about to become a grandfather.â
âWhat?â
Huo Yunshen could not react in time. He only reacted after Jing Xi reminded him again.
Seeing that he had no reaction, Jing Xi asked, âHey, whatâs with your expression? Your daughter has a child and youâre about to become a grandfather. Arenât you happy?â
âItâs not that Iâm unhappy, itâs just that Iâm a little emotional. I think Ying Bao is still the little girl in my memory. In the blink of an eye, sheâs going to get married and have children. Time flies!â
Perhaps being a father was different from being a mother. When he thought of his beloved daughter getting married and having children, he could not bear to part with her.
âDonât be sad. The children will grow up and have their own lives. We can only wish them well. Now that Ying Bao is pregnant, I reckon the wedding will be soon. We just need to prepare the dowry.â
Instead of worrying about her childrenâs lives, Jing Xi was only thinking about how to spend the rest of her life with her husband.
Ever since Ying Bao got pregnant, the entire Hua Er Palace was filled with a sense of peace and joy.
Huangfu Xuanye had already issued a national announcement to expose the crimes of Shen Wanxin and the Shen family. Only then did the commoners of the Northern Kingdom finally understand why the former queen-to-be, Shen Wanxin, was not destined to become the queen.
