Chapter 185: Finding out she's pregnant with a daughter
Ling Xiyue looked at He Tingxi with gentle eyes and felt mixed emotions.
Seeing that Ling Xiyue stopped talking, He Tingxi moved his hand to Ling Xiyue's belly and stroked it gently.
"I will soon meet the baby in my belly. Suddenly, I feel a little nervous and excited." He Tingxi said with a smile.
Ling Xiyue looked down at her belly and nodded.
"Well, I'm looking forward to it too. I wonder who the child will look like?"
"She should look like me. I heard that girls look like their fathers." He Tingxi blurted out without thinking.
"Girl? Tingxi, how do you know the baby in your belly is a girl?" Ling Xiyue was so shocked that her eyes widened.
He Tingxi was stunned. Only then did he realize that he had accidentally let the cat out of the bag. Seeing Ling Xiyue's excitement and thinking that Ling Xiyue's due date would soon come, he decided not to hide it anymore.
"Brother Jian told me this three or four months ago."
"Why don't I know?" Ling Xiyue asked anxiously.
"Didn't he take your pulse? He told me privately after taking your pulse. The reason I didn't tell you was because I was afraid of affecting your mood. I know you have always wanted a son." He Tingxi explained.
Ling Xiyue stared at He Tingxi blankly, she was completely "stupid".
His eyes were full of disappointment.
Seeing Ling Xiyue so "uncomfortable", He Tingxi hugged Ling Xiyue into his arms and comforted her softly: "Xiyue, no matter it is a boy or a girl, as long as the child is yours, I like it. Don't be sad, we can have another child, and I believe we will definitely have a boy."
Ling Xiyue, leaning in He Tingxi's arms, was now in a state of confusion.
She muttered to herself: It was Doctor Jian who took my pulse, so he must be right. This baby is actually a daughter. I thought it was a son. I was thinking of giving Ling Junqi a nephew he could rely on. This is ancient times, and only sons can inherit. What should I do? I was thinking of going back after giving birth.
The more Ling Xiyue thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.
He Tingxi looked down and saw Ling Xiyue frowning. He instantly regretted telling Ling Xiyue in advance.
He had no choice but to continue comforting her.
"Xiyue, don't be sad, I really don't mind. In fact, I prefer my daughter, really."
Seeing that He Tingxi was still comforting her, Ling Xiyue came to her senses. She left He Tingxi's arms, sat up straight, and looked at He Tingxi.
"You said you like your daughter more, is that true?" Ling Xiyue confirmed again.
"Of course, my daughter is well-behaved, sensible and cute. It makes me happy just thinking about it." He Tingxi said in an affirmative tone.
"Then you have to promise to treat her well and not favor boys over girls." Ling Xiyue's expression was serious and earnest.
Ling Xiyue's reaction made He Tingxi feel uneasy. He always felt that there was something else behind Ling Xiyue's words, but he did not raise any questions. Instead, he answered Ling Xiyue's words directly.
"Okay, I promise, don't worry." He Tingxi also promised seriously.
Ling Xiyue finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when she thought that it was her daughter, she couldn't help but show her disappointment.
Seeing that Ling Xiyue was still frowning, He Tingxi changed the subject.
"Xiyue, don't think too much, just let everything take its course. Now, let's deal with Junqi's matter first, shall we? His marriage is the most important thing at the moment. Although Junqi disgusted Mingle today, it doesn't mean that the matter can be solved smoothly. We still have to be on guard against He Jingcheng and the others and stop them from doing anything bad, right?"
He Tingxi's words awakened Ling Xiyue.
"Yes, there are also Prince Lu and his men. We need to stop Prince Lu and his men from doing bad things."
"So, I decided to go to the palace tomorrow and let the Empress Dowager deal with He Jingcheng and the others." A hint of confidence flashed in He Tingxi's eyes.
"Let the Queen Mother deal with Prince Lu?" Ling Xiyue asked.
"You forgot that the Empress Dowager promised me that as long as Mingle doesn't like Junqi, she would let the Queen help Mingle find a suitable son-in-law." He Tingxi said with a smile.
Ling Xiyue suddenly realized.
"Yes, I almost forgot that you said it before. It's interesting to think that the Queen is worried about Mingle's marriage. They deserve it."
Ling Xiyue felt refreshed just thinking about it and her mood was no longer depressed.
"Well, you want to embarrass me? It's not that easy." He Tingxi smiled confidently.
"That's right, Your Highness is the most powerful." Ling Xiyue immediately agreed.
Seeing Ling Xiyue praising him, He Tingxi's face was full of smiles.
"So, just stay by my side and I'll take care of everything," He Tingxi promised.
"Okay." Ling Xiyue responded obediently.
"Are you tired of sitting? How about I walk with you in the yard?" He Tingxi suggested.
"it is good."
He Tingxi helped Ling Xiyue to get up and walked with her in the yard.
While taking a walk, He Tingxi was worried that Ling Xiyue might be having wild thoughts, so he tried to find other topics to distract Ling Xiyue's attention.
So, Ling Xiyue was in a very good mood throughout the whole process.
However, at night, after He Tingxi fell asleep, Ling Xiyue lay in bed, and she still felt uncomfortable when she thought that the baby in her belly was a daughter.
I was thinking: This is ancient times, daughters don't have a high status, it's hard to consolidate Ling Junqi's position, what should I do? I don't want to have another child, if I do, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear to leave. Oh, why is it like this?
However, it seems that the original owner did not have the intention to make Ling Junqi prosperous. I remember that she just said that as long as Ling Junqi could inherit the family business smoothly, it would be considered as completing the mission. Therefore, whether I gave birth to a boy or a girl would not affect Ling Junqi's inheritance of the family business at all. It seems that I thought too much.
If it has no impact, a daughter will be much happier than a son. At least a daughter does not have to be involved in the struggle for imperial power, nor does she have to worry about national affairs. She just needs to live her own life.
Come to think of it, it’s better to have a daughter.
When Ling Xiyue thought of this, she suddenly felt enlightened and was no longer depressed.
Ling Xiyue slept particularly soundly tonight.
next day
He Tingxi went to the palace early to meet the Empress Dowager.
After arriving at the Empress Dowager's bedroom and paying respects to her, the Empress Dowager saw that the weather was fine, so she asked He Tingxi to accompany her for a walk in the Imperial Garden.
He Tingxi supported the empress dowager as she walked, and Nanny An and others followed behind.
"Tingxi, you came here today to tell the Royal Grandmother about Mingle's matter, right?" The Queen Mother took the initiative to speak.
"Yes, it is the Empress Dowager who understands her grandson." He Tingxi nodded and smiled.
"Does Mingle like Ling Junqi?" The Queen Mother looked at He Tingxi and asked with concern.
"I don't like it." He Tingxi sighed slightly with a bitter face.
The Queen Mother saw He Tingxi's sad face, she was a little confused and asked: "Why didn't you like it? Did Mingle tell you the reason?"
"Ming Le said she likes masculine and decisive men, and she dislikes Ling Junqi for being too gentle." He Tingxi said helplessly.
"Ling Junqi is too gentle? Is that really the case?" The Queen Mother was a little unbelievable.
"My grandson thinks it's okay. Maybe he was too respectful in front of Mingle, so Mingle had this illusion. But it is also possible that Mingle didn't like him and deliberately made up an excuse. In short, Mingle just didn't like him." He Tingxi explained.
