Prince Yan paused while eating, as if hearing something utterly absurd.
Acting spoiled due to favor?
When had Shen Wei ever been spoiled?
His Weiwei was the most considerate. Even after becoming pregnant, she had never asked him for anything. Despite her condition, she still took the time to select fabrics and had her maidservants prepare his autumn clothing in advance.
The Princess Consort continued her rambling: "Back in the day, the concubines and lesser consorts in the palace who were pregnant acted just like Shen Wei—constantly demanding things from Your Highness once they conceived. The finest food, the best quarters, and tonics to nourish the fetus. Your Highness, though you dote on Shen Wei, there must be limits."
Prince Yan's movements slowed as he ate.
