After the second prince and his two companions left, Qi Zhenzhen couldn't help but worry.
"Neither the Empress, nor Lu Ruoyun, nor the Lu family are easy to deal with. Can Su Qingyue handle it?"
She was pregnant, and it was hard to guard against everything.
If anything went wrong, it might harm the child.
Gu Sinian patted Qi Zhenzhen's hand, "Don't worry, I've seen it these past few days. Su Qingyue is not a thoughtless person. Since she chose to go back, she must have thought about how to deal with it. Besides, His Majesty has arranged for people to protect her. And Feng Yin is with her."
Qi Zhenzhen sighed, "I hope she can be safe and sound."
"Leave these things to me to worry about. Don't think too much, okay? Didn't Luo Wanqing say you should relax and clear your mind? But you, on the other hand, want to worry about everything." Gu Sinian was helpless.
At night, when Zhenzhen was asleep, he could often hear her sighing in her dreams.
"I want to, but sometimes, the more I try not to think about it, the more things flood into my mind." Qi Zhenzhen was even more helpless, as if her mind wasn't her own!
"You've been talking about names these past few days. I thought of two, listen to them, okay?" Gu Sinian changed the subject.
Qi Zhenzhen's interest was piqued, "What are they called?"
"Sui'an, Suihuan," Gu Sinian said.
"'Wishing peace, speaking peace, peace every year and joy every day.' " Qi Zhenzhen was very happy. "Gu Sui'an, Gu Suihuan. An'an, Huanhuan. What should I do, I like both. Hmm, this one will be Sui'an, and if we have another one later, we'll call her Suihuan."
Gu Sinian was amused, "Whatever you say, whatever you want."
For the sake of a name, she decided to have another child later. Gu Sinian remembered that when Qi Zhenzhen had severe morning sickness, they had said they would only have one child. Now, before the child was even born, she had changed her mind!
Indeed, women's thoughts were not something that could be easily guessed.
Like Zhenzhen.
Like Bai Su.
He had talked to Xie Chen about Bai Su's matter, and he didn't know what Xie Chen had said to Bai Su.
Bai Su had specifically found him, saying that she had found the meaning of her life, and that the insignificant Xie Chen was already in the past, and he shouldn't be bothered.
She even said that she was in her prime, and Xie Chen's age was enough to be her father. She was fascinated by him before because he acted differently from the men in the Southern Xinjiang. She was fascinated by that uniqueness. When the uniqueness was no longer unique, she would be at peace.
Gu Sinian always felt that liking someone wouldn't disappear so easily.
Take him, for example. He felt that his liking for Zhenzhen grew stronger every day, and there was no such thing as losing freshness after being together for a long time, as he had heard. He always felt that every move, every smile and frown of Zhenzhen, was new to him, fascinating and heart-stirring.
"What are you thinking about?" Qi Zhenzhen shook Gu Sinian.
"Let's go to grandmother's mansion tomorrow," Gu Sinian came back to his senses. "You go and persuade Mother."
"Xie Chen? You agree?" Qi Zhenzhen was a little delighted.
"Strictly speaking, he did nothing wrong. He never flirted with others, so I can't blame Bai Su's matter on him," Gu Sinian said. "Mainly Mother, although she has been avoiding it, people's hearts are made of flesh. She feels guilty towards Xie Chen, and with him as a comparison, Xie Chen is really good."
Qi Zhenzhen knew that Gu Sinian was referring to Gu Changwei.
Compared to Xie Chen, Gu Changwei was naturally incomparable.
"Mother has been confined to the Duke's mansion for more than twenty years. I hope her latter half of life will be happy," Gu Sinian said seriously.
