Hua Manman was truly starving and ate with great gusto.
Si Yun had been a little worried that the Princess Consort would lose her appetite due to the pregnancy. Now it seemed she had overthought it; the Princess Consort's appetite was excellent!
Li Ji kept putting food on Manman's plate.
Seeing her eat with such relish, he felt even more satisfied than if he had eaten his fill himself.
Only when Manman had nearly finished did Li Ji start to eat.
Manman sat beside him, watching him eat. A sudden thought struck her, and she asked.
"My Prince, do you hope this baby will be a boy or a girl?"
Without looking up, Li Ji replied, "A girl."
He hoped for a daughter who would be just like Manman—clever and adorable.
Hua Manman's little face scrunched up. "You don't like boys?"
Li Ji took a sip of soup. "They're fine, I guess."
His tone was clearly forced.
Hua Manman hadn't expected him to have such an aversion to sons. She couldn't help but ask.
"Why don't you like sons?"
