Chapter 544: She and Him, Finished
Soon, the doctor came over.
The doctor drew a small tube of blood from the princess and took it for testing.
The banquet continued. Princess Li looked at Wen Ruan nervously.” Are you sure I’m pregnant?”
Wen Ruan nodded.” There won’t be any mistakes.”
Half an hour later, the doctor came back with the results.
Princess Li was five weeks pregnant.
Upon hearing this news, some people were happy and some were worried.
Nangong Xiao was overjoyed. He hugged Princess Li and went to the old king’s side to report to him about Princess Li’s pregnancy.
The old king smiled and nodded, giving Princess Li a lot of rewards.
The queen’s face was extremely gloomy. Why was Princess Li suddenly pregnant?
Nangong Han glanced at Wen Ruan and lowered her eyes, deep in thought.
Nangong Han had seen Wen Ruan’s medical skills in the Ye Tribe. Could Princess Li’s pregnancy be related to Wen Ruan?
As the banquet came to an end, Wen Ruan quietly walked backstage.
She changed into the clothes she had prepared beforehand and chatted with her partner for a while. The two of them slowly walked onto the stage amidst the music.
The lights on the stage were all dimmed, leaving only a beam of light shining on the lift.
Wen Ruan was wearing a palace gown with floral prints and flared cuffs. The layered skirt was fluffy and had a drooping feel. The top half of the dress was close-fitting, and the design at the waist made it look slender. Wen Ruan was slender and tall. This dress looked retro and gorgeous on her, without any sense of incongruity.
She was wearing a small hat with a veil hanging down, covering half of her face. Under the light, she was so beautiful that it was unreal, like a little fairy who had come to the world.
The sound of waltz music rang out. Wen Ruan placed her fair hands in the hands of the man in front of her and the two of them started dancing to the melodious music.
Nangong Xiao and the Queen were stunned when they saw the scene on the stage.
Why was Wen Ruan performing on stage?
Moreover, the waltz she danced had a sense of age and was not the rhythm that modern people liked.
The empress dowager, who was sitting beside the old king, saw Wen Ruan dancing with the man. Her expression changed.
Nangong Xiao and the others did not know the origin of this dance, but she did.
This was a dance that the old King and the deposed Empress Dowager had performed when they first met. On the stage, Wen Ruan and the man performed it so vividly that even some small details of the deposed Empress Dowager were shown.
For example, after she was stepped on by the old king, she playfully stuck out her little tongue.
Another example was when the rhythm went wrong and she blinked her eyes innocently when she asked the old king for help.
The Empress Dowager clenched her fists and looked at Nangong Xiao. She lowered her voice and said,” Get them down. Don’t embarrass yourself up there!””
Nangong Xiao saw the Empress Dowager’s expression and realized that something was wrong. Just as he was about to call someone over, the old king raised his hand, signaling Nangong Xiao not to interrupt.
“Continue watching.”
The old king had spoken, and no one dared to say anything more.
The Empress Dowager’s eyes were cold as she looked at Wen Ruan.
No one knew what the old king was thinking. He stared at the man and woman on the stage, and his thoughts seemed to have been pulled far away.
The empress dowager, who was sitting beside him, saw his expression and her nails almost broke her palm.
Now that she was the empress dowager and that woman had been crippled by him and sent to the Cold Palace, she still had an irreplaceable position in his heart!
After the banquet ended, the Empress Dowager was about to call Wen Ruan into her palace. The old King spoke first and ordered Nangong Xiao,” Call that waltz girl over. I want to talk to her.””
Wen Ruan changed her clothes backstage. Not long after, Nangong Xiao sent someone over, saying that the old king wanted to see her.
