Shen Miao thought for a moment and shook her head. “Now that my parents and my brother are also confronting Fu Xiuyi, I’m their weakness. If they find out I’m pregnant, they’ll be even more restrained. Moreover, Xie Jingxing will arrive in Ming Qi sooner or later. He has to meet up with Father, Mother, and the others. If Father and Mother know, Xie Jingxing will know too.”

Luo Tan thought for a moment and felt that it made sense. She whispered, “Although I don’t know if it’s a nephew or niece, I will love him/her all the same.”

“We haven’t had such joyful news for a long time.” Uncle Tang smiled and said, “We should celebrate it.” Then he patted his forehead. “I almost forgot that I need to pay attention to the food. Madam needs nourishment now. I can’t let anything go wrong. Also, the sharp edges of those furniture have to be wrapped in cloth.”

He was extremely nervous.

Shen Miao laughed. In her previous life, when she was pregnant with Fu Ming and Wanyu, she had never been treated like this.

She had already calmed down from the excitement of her pregnancy, but the people in Prince Rui’s mansion were all extremely nervous.

She smiled and said, “There’s no need. Uncle Tang, pack up. Because I’m pregnant, the empress wants me to go to the palace. Leave some guards and some servants in the mansion. The rest of you, follow me to the palace.” Uncle Tang nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll make the arrangements now.”

“Little Cousin, do I have to go too?” Luo Tan asked.

“Of course.”

“But I… don’t know the etiquette of the palace. Is that ok?” Luo Tan asked.

Shen Miao said, “Don’t worry about etiquette. Everyone knows that you’re skilled in martial arts. With you around, I’ll be safe. My child and I are all under your protection.”

“Little cousin, stop teasing me.” Luo Tan blushed. “But you’re right. If I’m with you, I can take care of you. I’ll go to the palace with you.” She stood up. “I’ll go and pack up first.”

After Luo Tan left, Shen Miao stood up.

She did not expect to be pregnant at this time, but she felt that everything was destined.

Opening the window, the autumn moon was very bright and gradually began to form a full moon. Soon, it would be the Mid-Autumn Festival.

At the Mid-Autumn Festival, she was separated from her family. Xie Jingxing, Shen Xin, and the others were not by her side. This year was destined to be a difficult year, but… Shen Miao touched her stomach. Because she had a child and became a mother, she seemed to be able to withstand the loneliness.

The heavens would not shut the door to a person forever. At least at this moment, the heavens opened the door and gave Shen Miao a new life and a

man she loved deeply.

The past was in the past, and this was a completely different future.

She asked the child in her stomach softly, “Look, you and your father are looking at the same moon.”

Shen Miao moved into the palace.

Empress Xiande treated her extremely well and gave her the side hall next to the Weiyang Palace. Shen Miao still used her people, so it was not inconvenient. Usually, Empress Xiande would talk to Shen Miao and make tea. Luo Tan followed. Luo Tan had a lively personality, and Empress Xiande also liked her..
