The Love of the General

Chapter 42

Five months later.

Hiding the happy news was indeed very difficult. Feng Yi Xuan had no intention of telling everyone that Lan You Nian was pregnant. Afraid that something dangerous might happen if he announced it.

He realized that having an enemy was not in his favor at all. Before Lan You Nian entered her life, she had never cared about all the enemies she had. But now the case is different.

So she decided to hide her pregnancy from everyone, until one day it was completely uncontrollable. That was when Lan You Nian's stomach grew.

Feng Yi Xuan told Lan You Nian's parents and they were very happy. Feng Yi Xuan personally asked them not to spread the word until Lan You Nian gave birth safely.

" You haven't visited me for days. Are you so busy? " He could hear his voice from his study.

He stopped looking at his estate and seeing his wife, he could see her getting more beautiful from day one. He really shines.

He could not help but feel blessed by his presence. For the past few days he has been frying without rest but every night he would visit his room just to see his wife.

" I'm sorry." Feng Yi Xuan said it. It's easier to apologize to her because she's the only one who'll hear it from her.

Lan You Nian walked over to her she was wearing pink hanfu but looked like her clothes were bigger than her usual size.

He was still the same unless his aura changed. Probably because of pregnancy. Lan You Nian felt the pain in his back getting worse but sometimes Zhao Mama would massage his back.

Lan You Nian was very grateful because ever since she was pregnant her mother always sent her food and some herbs. Feng Yi Xuan also always followed in her footsteps as her mood was always changing.

" I miss you." She sat in front of him while pouting like a child. Lan You Nian felt that she had become very sticky.

" Come here." Feng Yi Xuan instructed her to approach him. He didn't like to see her sitting on the floor because it was cold.

Standing with a heart, he walked towards her before she began to nag. He was about to sit next to her but he slowly lifted her into his lap.

" I'm heavy! I'll sit next to you. " Lan You Nian's voice unintentionally shot up as he was shocked.

" You're not heavy. Let me hug you. " Feng Yi Xuan held him back as she hugged him tightly.

He let her hug him. His hand slowly stroked his stomach. She can feel sometimes the baby moving. A feeling of happiness arose within him.

" Then time so fast Xuan Xuan ?" Lan You Nian turned to look at it well.

" Hm." Feng Yi Xuan placed her head on the indentation of her neck.

" I love you." Her words made her choke.

" I love you too. " His eyes started to look glassy but he held it back.

Over the past few months, he could feel his body getting weaker. But she acted like it was the normal condition of someone who was pregnant. So she tried her best to cherish her moment with her husband.

" Feng Yi Xuan why should I hear such happy news from an outsider? " The Emperor asked as soon as they finished the affairs of the country.

" I don't mean to hide it from everyone, but I'm just worried about my wife's well-being. "

" Are you still angry at Zhen because of the last incident? " The Emperor was able to sense that Feng Yi Xuan had deliberately prohibited Lan You Nian from entering the palace since the last incident.

Seeing that Feng Yi Xuan was just silent, His Majesty congratulated him and Lan You Nian. Then, all the officials began to disperse.

" I still can't believe that our general will be blessed with a son." Two officers began to gather.

" Yes. Me also. I don't think he's interested in women and marriage. " The other officer replied.

" The woman was lucky to be pregnant with her child. "

" That's right. Let's hope she'll give birth to a son so the general will take care of her anyway. " The official said it with a heart.

In this era, giving birth to a son is very important. This is to give a woman an important recognition. So whenever their wives became pregnant, they would pray in the temple to have a son.

" Wow! this is a lot!" Lan You Nian was extremely shocked when he saw the pile of presents from the palace.

" Dispose of this." Feng Yi Xuan casually said it to the shadow guards.

" Wait! why throw this away?! " The shadow guards were about to throw it away but Lan You Nian stopped them.

" We don't know if they put anything dangerous in it." Feng Yi Xuan's suspicion of everyone had increased due to her sensitivity to her safety.

" If you want, I'll give you something more luxurious than this and more expensive for you."

" Xuan Xuan stop! do not waste all this expensive stuff. " Lan You Nian said firmly.

" Then what we're gonna do with it. You can't take it. " He was determined to throw it away because he was worried that Lan You Nian would want it.

" What if we give it to our people? Zhao Mama will check it first to make sure it is safe. " He knew Feng Yi Xuan wouldn't let him take any of those gifts. So he at least wanted to give it to someone in need.

Feng Yi Xuan became very sensitive because she knew that she was pregnant with her child. The food was only allowed to be cooked by Zhao Mama and would be tasted before it entered Lan You Nian's mouth.

His clothes and robes will be worn and washed clean for fear of germs and viruses. He was not allowed to do any heavy duty and he was only allowed to spend time in Manor.

Lan You Nian clearly felt stuffy staying in Manor for 24 hours for 7 months. But it was all for himself so he was willing to endure it. And she was happy to see her baby soon to be born.
