Chapter 455: Ambition

As expected, after Xiao Baoxin finished speaking, Xie Xian never flirted with her again when she was pregnant. The most intimate he did was kiss her, and it was the kind that stopped after a little bit.
These were all things for the future, so there was no need to mention them.
Since the two of them had said so much, it seemed impolite to go to sleep directly. Moreover, they were both energetic.
Xie Xian expressed his thoughts on the name ‘Zhen’. Although he had been busy with government affairs these few days and had only returned to the residence a limited number of times, he had been thinking about the child’s name ever since he found out that Xiao Baoxin was pregnant.
However, it had not been decided yet, so he used a ready-made topic to talk about.
They were all words with good meanings, such as Xin, An, Yi, Zhuang, Ling Yun, Hui Lian, Fang Ming, and so on. The table was filled with Xuan paper, and Qing Feng put it away into a small wooden box.
“Which do you think is better?” Xie Xian’s mouth was dry as he spoke. He waited for her reply carefully, only to hear that she had fallen asleep.
‘Zhen’ was so excited that it was as if he had been slapped ten or twenty times. There was nothing he did not like about these words. He could call them any one of them. It was better than the names of his brothers in his previous life.
If it was not Dachun, it was a big shot or a rich man.
As the boss, of course, he was the first to bear the brunt, Dachun.
It could be said that the name was his lifelong pain!
Therefore, when he heard Xie Xian give this name, he was convinced from the bottom of his heart. After all, he was born into an aristocratic family, yet the name he gave was so particular and suited his liking. He should be his biological father.
If Xie Xian could hear it, Zhen would raise his voice and thank the Lord for his grace.
Xie Xian naturally couldn’t hear it. He was wholeheartedly devoted to his wife.
The dew in September was even heavier, but the house had long been lit with charcoal, afraid of freezing her. Even so, Xie Xian still covered Xiao Baoxin with the blanket, afraid that he would catch a cold.
Ever since Xiao Baoxin became pregnant, he always got up at night. The house was originally lit with candles, but later on, Xie Xian asked Ming Yue to find a few small luminous pearls from the warehouse. Afraid that it would be too bright, he separated the room with a screen with carved dragons and painted phoenixes. When pulled open, it could divide the entire room into two. With the screen as a cover and the luminous pearl in the corner of the wall, the light inside was soft and dark. It was just right. It was enough to illuminate the room.
Xie Xian then leaned closer to look at Xiao Baoxin under the light of the night pearl, an extremely satisfied smile hanging on his face.
He had never dreamed of such a happy life before.
After he had it, he longed for it to last even longer.
The smile on Xie Xian’s lips gradually faded.
He had an ambition that he could not tell anyone, not even Xiao Baoxin.
Unless you have absolute confidence
For their long-term, for her long-term health.

When he woke up in the morning, it was rare that Xie Xian had not gone to court yet. Perhaps Xiao Baoxin had woken up too early. The two of them stared at each other and soon hugged each other.
It was as if the little incident yesterday had never happened.
Xiao Baoxin called in a maid to serve him. After he was done cleaning up, he and Xie Xian ate eight simple dishes. Before they even had time to walk around, Xie Xian was already preparing to go to court.
At this moment, the sky was still dark.
” Tao Guan, the governor of Xu Prefecture, has surrendered to North Wu. Now, a large number of reinforcements from North Wu have arrived. The two sides have joined forces and are attacking the Qing and Ji prefectures with all their might. Although father-in-law has led the army to support them, but… The situation is not optimistic.”
“Is there bad news?” Xiao Baoxin suddenly stood up.”
She was afraid that because she was pregnant, Xie Xian would want to hide it from her like last time.
Xie Xian shook his head.” If it’s really like what you think, how would I have had the time to return to the residence last night?”Emperor Yong Ping had long left him in the palace.
He was like a mascot now. In Emperor Yong Ping’s eyes, as long as he was around, everything would be fine. Even if he didn’t need to be in the palace, he would rather be captured and used in case of an emergency. It was convenient and fast.
“Although it’s not optimistic, it’s not that bad.”
As soon as Xie Xian finished speaking, Xiao Baoxin’s small hand had already reached out and pressed against his chest. He said doubtfully,”You really didn’t lie to me.”
‘Life and death, tell Zicheng. I’ll hold your hand and grow old with you.
Xiao Baoxin’s mouth twitched. Why did he suddenly confess? Was he feeling guilty?
Before she could ask, Xie Xian spoke first,”Don’t worry, I won’t lie to you.”
Xiao Baoxin nodded.”
“You must have confidence in your husband. I can’t lie to Nora.”Xie Xian touched Xiao Baoxin’s face that was not covered in makeup, and his heart could not stop.
‘Love you, love you, love you.’
“I’m leaving.”
Then, it was followed by a string of words,’Miss me, miss me, miss me.’
Xiao Baoxin was already completely rendered speechless by him. This fellow was becoming more and more subversive.
“After the court session, I will personally go and invite Old Master Wei. If he can’t leave, I will send Qing Feng over. Today, I will definitely invite him to see sister-in-law.”Before Xie Xian left, he had not forgotten about this matter. It was obvious that he had agreed to Xiao Baoxin’s request to invite an eminent monk, but he had completely forgotten about it, causing him to feel guilty.
This time, when he left the house, Qing Feng passed the words down after he draped the cloak over him.
“Don’t forget to remind me that if I’m too busy to leave, you can make a trip to the Wei Estate and ask the old mister to make a trip for me.”
Since when did Master Lang give orders to waste so much effort and talk? It was done with just a sentence. Qingfeng did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly agreed.
Ming Yue: Lord Lang, you are a twenty-four-year-old filial husband.
He was not willing to fall behind in pleasing the Yue family.
“Lord Lang, please relax. We won’t dare to neglect Furen’s matter. This lowly one will remember it and definitely won’t forget it.”
Xie Xian turned his head to look at Ming Yue. This brat was teasing him.
With just a glance, he had made Ming Yue angry, which made Qing Feng unable to hold back his laughter. This Ming Yue was always crazily testing the edge of Master Lang. He would stop when he was taught a lesson.

When he woke up in the morning, the rain that had been raining for the entire night stopped, and the weather became colder.
Xiao Baoxin had just finished strolling around the room when the Fine Cloud Pavilion sent someone over to tell him that Xiao Ning had invited the sisters over for a gathering.
Xiao Baoxin knew that the wedding was just around the corner. At the very least, they were going to enter the palace. Gathering everyone together could be considered as getting to know each other over the past few days.
There was no reason for her not to be there. She changed her clothes and left.
Rong An Hall was not close to Qiyun Pavilion. Instead, Xie Wan and Wang Qiang’s courtyard was very close. When Xiao Baoxin arrived, the house was filled with people. Even Wang Shier Niang was here, but she didn’t carry her child today.
After looking around, only Xie Shan from the third branch had not arrived.
“Sister-in-law, quickly take a seat. It’s cold outside, why didn’t you put on a cloak?”Xiao Ning walked forward with a smile.
His only friend.
However, Xiao Baoxin felt that something was different. She looked like a mass-produced noble lady from an aristocratic family. She looked familiar and even smiled just right..
