After Chen Jingxi was carried back to Prince Su's Mansion, he woke up with a look of regret on his face. Why did he always slip at critical moments?

Just when she was feeling depressed, the Queen summoned her to the palace. Chu Jinghuai said that he was away on a military expedition and was worried that she would be lonely and bored in the mansion, so he took her to the palace to relax.

"Going to the palace to relax?" Chen Jingxi almost laughed out loud when he heard this.

She couldn't forget that last time the emperor drugged her, the empress turned a blind eye and wanted her to drink the tea. These two old men were not good people.

Looking at the princess's expression, Wu Zongguan knew that her "relaxation" was fake and her real intention was to cause trouble. The queen had issued an order, so his princess had no choice but to go.

By closing the door to visitors, he could only turn down the banquets invited by various mansions.

Chen Jingxi stood up and ordered, "Change your clothes and go into the palace."

"Princess..." Wu Kuan looked uneasy.

"Don't worry, the prince is away at war, how can they embarrass me? Besides, am I so easy to bully?"

Wu Kuan had no choice but to ask his princess to bring more people with her.

However, the team sent by the Queen to pick up Chen Jingxi this time was indeed very spectacular, with gorgeous carriages, majestic guards, and a full of pomp.

In the end, Chen Jingxi only brought a few personal maids with her.

The carriage was spacious enough for one person to lie down comfortably. As soon as Chen Jingxi got in, she didn't act pretentious at all and just made herself comfortable.

The servants outside the carriage secretly peeked at what was happening inside through the gaps in the windows.

Seeing Chen Jingxi so calm and composed, he couldn't help but secretly admire her. This Princess Su really has courage, and can still sleep at this time!

Although Chen Jingxi closed his eyes, he was thinking that the soles of his shoes were not non-slip and he would have to ask someone to redo them when he got home.

If someone were to die because of a pair of shoes one day, that would be so unfair!

As she pondered this, she didn't know how long it had passed before the carriage slowly stopped. Chen Jingxi stretched, straightened her clothes, and then got out of the carriage.

"Princess Su." The palace servants at the palace gate shouted in unison.

Chen Jingxi nodded slightly and followed the palace servant who led the way into the palace.

Inside Fengzao Palace, the Empress was already waiting. Unlike the elaborate attire she had worn during previous banquets, this time she was dressed lightly, appearing more casual and approachable.

"Princess Su is here. The Queen has been waiting for you for a long time." The person who spoke was the senior palace maid beside the Queen, and her tone was filled with a hint of blame and a hint of laughter.

"Your Majesty the Queen is here to see you." Chen Jingxi bowed.

The Queen smiled and said, "No need to be polite. There are no outsiders here. No need to be polite. Please take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Chen Jingxi thanked her and took her seat. Without beating around the bush, she asked directly, "I wonder why Your Majesty summoned me to the palace?"

"You child, if there is nothing wrong, can't I summon you into the palace and talk to me?" the queen scolded.

Chen Jingxi sneered in her heart. Just chatting! I'm afraid it's not that simple. But on the surface, she still pretended to be grateful and said, "Thank you, Queen, for your concern."

After the two chatted about some unimportant topics, the queen finally got to the point. Her eyes finally fell on Chen Jingxi's belly, and she said with a smile: "Princess Su, you and Prince Su have been married for four years. It's time to have a child."

Chen Jingxi was speechless. Damn it, last time you and the emperor wanted to sterilize me, have you forgotten about this?

"Your Majesty, is there any way that I can get pregnant while the prince is away?"

The Queen retreated strategically. I couldn't believe my ears. Does Princess Su have a brain?

"Is there?" Chen Jingxi looked at the queen sincerely.

"Princess Su, this pregnancy requires Prince Su..." The Queen smiled speechlessly, "It requires the two of you to work together to get pregnant."

"Oh, I thought I could get pregnant alone."

Queen: “…” No, why is it so difficult to talk to this person?

Chen Jingxi’s inner thoughts: Hehehehehe.

The Queen changed the subject again, "Princess Su, now that Prince Su is not at home, you will inevitably feel lonely. Why not stay in the palace for a few more days so that you can have some company."

Chen Jingxi's heart skipped a beat. Are they going to put her under house arrest?

She was about to refuse, but when she thought that the queen would definitely not let her go so easily, she swallowed her words back.

Seeing Chen Jingxi's silence, the Queen asked, "Does Princess Su not want to?"

Chen Jingxi thought for a moment and said, "It's not that I'm unwilling, but I have a request, and I don't know if it's possible."

"What do you want?"

"I have a pig in my house. Could you please send it to the palace? I also have 500 silkworms. Could you send them to the palace as well?"

When the queen heard this, the hairs on her body stood up and her face turned pale.

Chen Jingxi was secretly happy. She knew that the queen was afraid of these insects, so she mentioned it deliberately. As for whether there were silkworms in Prince Su's Mansion, it didn't matter at all. If she said yes, Manager Wu would try his best to get them.

"Your Majesty, when spring arrives, the silkworms will begin to spin silk. I will then make you a silk quilt. This quilt is very light and thin, fitting perfectly to the human body, allowing you to feel the silkworms on your body at all times..."

"Stop talking!"

Chen Jingxi pursed her lips tightly, trying hard to recall the saddest thing in her life to prevent the corners of her mouth from rising.

You must be sweating profusely!

The queen took a deep breath, suppressed her inner fear, and gave a look to the palace maid beside her.

"Since there are so many things going on in Prince Su's Mansion, I will not keep you in the palace."

She was sure that if she let Chen Jingxi stay in the palace today, many silkworms would appear in her Fengzao Palace tomorrow. The thought of hundreds of insects crawling in the palace would drive her crazy.
