Who is spreading rumors that my filial piety towards them has changed?

"Jinyu, you..."

Chu Mingkong wanted to say why she used such an outrageous method to change the subject, but Jin Yu didn't let him continue. As if she had something on her mind, she hugged Chu Mingkong and winked at him mischievously.

"Yongzhen, Rong'er, don't doubt it, it's exactly what you imagined, isn't it surprising?!" The girl seemed to be showing off her heavy weaponry, lifting the heavy container, "If you want to drink it, I can let you have a taste!"

Chu Mingkong didn't quite understand why Jin Yu would lie.

He was certain that Jin Yu couldn't be pregnant. He spent most of his time cultivating with her. To be honest... judging from the recent situation, even if Mi'er is pregnant, Jin Yu might not be.

Why does it seem like they're trying to provoke and provoke Yongzhen?

Chu Mingkong instantly felt two, no, three gazes focusing on him—from Shangguan Rong and the two Yongzhen.

The gaze merely glared at him before returning to Jin Yu herself.

Shangguan Rong didn't want to speculate too much. Although she wasn't ridiculed, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable. Jin Yu was pregnant first, which meant that Ming Kong might get closer to Jin Yu in the future.

She asked directly, "Jinyu, are you pregnant? And have you been pregnant for quite some time?"

Jin Yu wasn't embarrassed at all; in fact, she said with a hint of pride, "That's right!"

Yongzhen took out a handkerchief, wiped her cheeks, and walked towards Jinyu with a stern face, saying:

"If these breasts can produce food, why isn't the belly bulging yet?"

When Jin Yu saw Yong Zhen trying to touch her stomach, she quickly hugged Chu Mingkong tightly, using her lover as a shield.

"I won't let you touch it. You came over aggressively, what if you hurt it? It's all a matter of individual pregnancy. If the juice comes early, what can I do?"

"Chu Lang, let's go."

Jin Yu retreated immediately after her attack. Having just mocked Yong Zhen and drawn his hatred, she immediately ran away with Chu Mingkong, leaving him feeling uneasy under Yong Zhen's gaze.

But to be fair, it would be better to separate them for now.

After clarifying the situation, reassure and address each issue separately.

She jogged away from the courtyard and didn't stop until she returned to Jin Yu and the others' courtyard.

"Jinyu, what was that trick you just pulled?"

What Jin Yu wanted was to mislead Yong Zhen and the others, to put them under some misunderstanding and pressure.

When Yongzhen sees that Jinyu is secretly pregnant, he will definitely be anxious and then ask Mingkong for a seed.

Once they actually get pregnant, things will get difficult. They'll have to be restrained with Mingkong while the baby is in their belly, and after the baby is born, they'll have to take care of it, which will waste their energy and make it hard for them to enjoy themselves with Mingkong.

This is a truly wicked plan!

She learned this method by chance while spending time with Aunt Gu and Consort Xiao Zhi these days.

From Aunt Gu, Jin Yu learned that she now had to be extremely careful when contacting Ming Kong in private. From Consort Xiao Zhi's mother, Jin Yu learned about a past misunderstanding that had caused various tensions, ultimately leading to her pregnancy...

The two sides came together and came up with this vicious plan.

In the future, when Yongzhen, and even Rong'er, also have it, it will be difficult for them to compete with her for Mingkong.

Taking down two enemies in one fell swoop is of great significance!

As for the older generation, Jin Yu had also inquired about them. They were quite concerned about her and Ming Kong's relationship and wished that Jin Yu could also have a baby to attract attention for them.

This further confirms that different tracks mean there's no need to worry too much; just focus on managing your own opponents.

"Don't panic, my lord, everything is under my control!"

......

Yongzhen looked at her doll-like body and muttered to herself, "I wonder if you have the ability to bear children?"

Chapter 296 Feeding the Cat

Yongzhen has now developed and trained his puppet body to a very high level, and has even opened up the spiritual meridians that were not originally open in his puppet body.

From her personal perspective, this doll-like body was no different from an ordinary body; the current situation was more like two bodies sharing the same soul.

Yongzhen was a little puzzled as to how Mingkong had created such a powerful and complete puppet body.

Therefore, Yongzhen felt that it was probably not a problem for the doll to develop normally, but it had not been tried.

"And then there's Jin Yu, that girl. Judging from her expression, it seems like she's using some clumsy reverse psychology... If she had been pregnant earlier, given her temperament, she would have had a hard time controlling herself. It wasn't until today that she finally swaggered around a bit."

If Jinyu really was pregnant early on, she would most likely have started to gloat the moment she heard the news. Looking back on the past month or two, there was no sign of Jinyu being smug or arrogant, which shows that she lacked confidence.

This sudden move seems fake; it's unlikely she's actually pregnant.

The eldest princess leaned back in her chair, pondering as she manipulated the puppet to brew tea. The two slowly savored the aroma of the tea, and she could roughly confirm that Jin Yu's inexplicable mockery was a provocation.

"And even if we can't be really sure, we can wait another month and see. We can pinch her at some time and see if there's any more 'treasure' afterward to know if it's true or not... As for the child, we can ask Mingkong about it ourselves later."

......

Similar thoughts also arose among Shangguan Rong. Although she wasn't openly mocked by Jin Yu—if Jin Yu had actually done so, Shangguan Rong would most likely have hit her with a ruler. She couldn't touch her stomach, so she would hit her buttocks, though with less force, but hitting her would definitely be necessary—Shangguan Rong was also puzzled as to what Jin Yu was trying to achieve by doing such a thing.

As for being inspired to have a baby, that's really not the case.

She was more curious whether this was Mingkong's intention, that he was too embarrassed to directly mention having a baby and wanted Jinyu to give him a hint?

"I'll ask Mingkong in person another day."

......

Chu Mingkong looked at Jin Yu helplessly and sighed:

"Jinyu, you're really bold! You just pulled out the dumpling in front of Rong'er and Yongzhen like that?"

"What's the big deal? Anyway, not everyone in Qingxin Mansion is one of our own. Why be so wary and suspicious?" Jin Yu puffed out her chest confidently, which amused Chu Mingkong so much that he reached out and pinched her proud and complacent side.

It was indeed much heavier than before, which could not be an illusion. Moreover, since the large steamed bun had become a large soup dumpling, its size in the palm of the hand was also slightly enhanced.

Jin Yu only whimpered, but did not resist, showing no trace of the proud little hen who had been swaggering around in the room with Yong Zhen and the others just now.

"Now you're acting all tough in front of me? Weren't you so arrogant in front of Yongzhen and the others just a moment ago?"

"Where's the toughness? And I'm not pretending to be weak. I've always been very soft, haven't I? Look at the flesh in your palm, Chu Lang, there's not a trace of hardness in you. It's clearly you who's hard!"

Jin Yu pressed her body against him, her delicate hands pointing to the hard spot he had just mentioned.

"I really should let you compete with Yongzhen and Rong'er in eloquence. No, I should have just said that 'Jin Xiaomei' was your idea!"

Chu Mingkong smiled and exchanged a few pursed lips with her. Although it was a brief encounter, it wasn't that they felt no attachment. It was just that if they pursed their lips, they couldn't see Jin Yu's charming body.

Looking at her dumplings, Chu Mingkong recalled the first time they met. Jin Yu was in Yongzhen's room, swinging her white dumplings around, showing off Yongzhen in a triumphant manner.

At that time, Yongzhen gave him the impression of a delicate, sickly beauty, with a breast wrap around her chest, and her chest heaving up and down looked rather ordinary.

Now, Jin Yu directly pulled out the weapon Zi Yongzhen, seemingly without any reservations except for the presence of Rong'er. She had done this many times before.

Jin Yu, with a look of utter panic that seemed to say, "Chu Lang, please don't falsely accuse me of writing a little imperial edict," held up the water dumpling and emphasized righteously:

"I could never write that kind of book, let alone come up with the words and phrases for it."

Life is short, and we don't know how much joy we can experience. If we are always thinking about potential retribution while enjoying ourselves, then the joy is greatly diminished, and the already limited happiness is further reduced!

She was probably referring to the aforementioned cause and effect, and it wasn't that she condoned the many evil deeds mentioned. She simply disliked people saying discouraging things when she was having fun, such as "Being happy so early, you'll cry later" or "You're laughing now, but don't take it seriously, or you'll regret it later."

Its core message is perhaps "life is short, so enjoy it while you can." Since sadness is inevitable, we should indulge in happiness when we are happy.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have followed him in doing so many absurd things.

Chu Mingkong picked her up and carried her into the inner room, then said, "Jinyu, what kind of pleasure were you looking for by provoking me like that just now?"

Upon entering the inner room, Chu Mingkong was somewhat surprised to find Pei Mi absent. Perhaps she had gone out for a walk or to play with the baby.

Chu Mingkong carried the beautiful Jin Yu onto the soft couch, his memory surfacing of the last time Pei Mi and Jin Yu had hurt each other here.

Jin Yu sat up in Chu Mingkong's arms, holding a plump and juicy soft treat, and brought it to his lips. Her beautiful eyes sparkled with anticipation. She guessed that she had been looking forward to this while Chu Mingkong was away for the past few days.

Seeing her lover nestled obediently in her arms like a baby, Jinyu smiled and answered his question:

"No, it's just that I saw how much you like the baby, Chu Lang, so I thought I'd try to provoke Yongzhen and the others."

"Knowing I like it, why don't you do it yourself?" Chu Mingkong said jokingly, then became serious and emphasized, "However, I don't want you to carry the baby. It's not too late if you want to. I won't force you."

As soon as Chu Mingkong finished speaking, Jin Yu immediately picked up the other side and stuffed it into his mouth, looking at him with satisfaction:

"I know, and I really don't want to for now. I feel like there are still so many things we haven't experienced together, and it would be a bit strange to jump straight to the baby stage...?"

The fear is that after having a baby, one might be reluctant to entrust the child's care directly to someone else, thus diverting their attention...

Chu Mingkong guessed, grabbed Jin Yu's free heart, and brought it to her lips, letting her give him a sip of milk.

However, after hearing what Jin Yu said, Chu Mingkong understood her previous intentions of not letting Pei Mi and him cultivate.

Isn't it a bit much to have your mother do it for you?

Chu Mingkong was helpless, but Jin Yu's question pulled him back from his thoughts:

"Chu Luo, how does it taste?"

"Not bad." Chu Mingkong was definitely praising him; he wouldn't say anything bad.

Jin Yu beamed with joy, and she said with even greater excitement:

"I'll let you try some of my little sister Mi'er's later. She's probably secretly letting the cat have a taste right now!"

Chapter 297 Conspiracy

A few days ago, at the urging of her daughter Jinyu, Pei Mi also drank the medicinal soup that Jinyu had personally brewed, and now the medicine was taking effect.

This must have been a rather novel experience for Pei Mi.

Back in the palace, the empress's memories of pregnancy were all fabricated by palace staff using magical artifacts. As for experiences like breastfeeding, they were so perfunctory that the imperial physician would come and say, "Your Majesty, you are too weak and have no milk or water," and that was it.

In reality, even if there were such a person, it would most likely not be her turn, but rather a special wet nurse from the palace would be used to feed Jinyu, and the outcome would remain the same no matter what.

Leaving aside the messy things that happened in the palace in the past, in short, he never experienced breastfeeding a baby.

Now I've finally made up for it, but the experience wasn't great...

Once it started to rise, it just wouldn't stop. Even with the support of a cultivator's physique, the sudden increase in weight in the chest made the shoulders uncomfortable no matter what.
