Brother, is that you? You've come too? But why is that? Confusion was evident in Yin Qingyi's eyes.

After watching for a while, Granny Naqi noticed that Yin Qingyi had been holding the script for a long time without turning a single page. She realized she was wrong; the princess wasn't looking at the script at all, but was thinking about something.

"Is Princess still worried about the baby?" Granny Qi stepped forward and asked with concern. She couldn't let the princess overthink things. It's not good for a pregnant woman to think too much, as it will harm her body and mind.

"No, I was just thinking about things with my brother back at home." Yin Qingyi was brought back to her senses by Granny Qi, and shook her head with a faint smile.

"Is the princess homesick?" Granny Naqi laughed.

"Hmm." Yin Qingyi didn't explain. She did miss home, but not the home that Granny Qi had mentioned.

"Your Highness can talk to the master and ask someone from the family to come and see you. Since you are pregnant, the master will agree." That old nanny didn't know much about Yin Qingyi's family background, which is why she said this.

"Granny, no men are allowed in the backyard." Yin Qingyi looked at the old woman with amusement.

“But there is…” Granny Naqi wanted to say, “Isn’t there a madam?” But then she realized that Yin Qingyi’s words only proved that there was no woman in her family who could enter the inner courtyard, which meant that she had no mother. Thinking this, Granny Naqi looked at Yin Qingyi with even more heartache.

“Granny, you don’t need to be like this. My mother passed away when I was very young, so my memories of her are very vague.” Yin Qingyi saw the distress in Granny’s eyes and said with a smile.

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have brought this up." Granny Naqi looked at Yin Qingyi's smile, but felt that Yin Qingyi was just pretending to be strong. No child would not miss their mother.

"..." Yin Qingyi looked at Granny Qi and felt helpless. She was telling the truth. If it were the original owner, she might think about it, but her? She would only think about her parents in her previous life.

--------------------------------------

After a few days, Yin Qingyi stopped taking the medicine prescribed by Physician Li, and her appetite improved day by day, gradually returning to normal. Only then did Granny Qi, Qiu Ju, Chun Lan, and the others truly feel relieved.

Yinzhen would also take time to visit Yin Qingyi every day. Seeing Yin Qingyi like this, he felt much more relieved. In the past few days, Yin Qingyi's face had started to gain weight. Although she was still not as good as before, she looked much better than a few days ago, and her complexion had a rosy glow.

As the year drew to a close, Yinzhen became busy and no longer visited Yin Qingyi every day. However, he would still come every two or three days, even if he didn't have time to have a meal with Yin Qingyi or say a few words to her.

Yin Qingyi was very curious. Why did the women in the back courtyard remain silent after learning of her pregnancy? This wasn't like these women usually. Were they planning something big? Yin Qingyi was on edge, but no one made a move against her even as the New Year approached.

She initially thought that Granny Naqi and Feng Qing had stopped those insidious methods, but after asking the two of them, they said that nothing of the sort had happened.

"What are these women thinking? Are they planning to make their move at the family banquet on New Year's Eve? Yinzhen and his wife won't be there then, it would indeed be a good opportunity to strike." Yin Qingyi muttered to herself as she sat on the chaise longue.

"Tomorrow is the 30th. I'm going to the palace with my wife. You shouldn't go to the family banquet. I'll be busy these next few days, so you'd better stay here and take care of Luoxuexuan. Do you understand?" The day before the 30th, Yinzhen took some time to come to Luoxuexuan, and this was the first thing he said. He was genuinely worried about this little woman. He was afraid something would happen to her without his protection, and even with Granny Qi and Mingyue Fengqing by his side, he still didn't feel at ease.

"Wouldn't that be inappropriate? I only entered the manor this year, and people might gossip if I did this. Don't worry, Master. I'll take Granny Qi, Mingyue, and Fengqing with me. Isn't it true that Mingyue knows martial arts? With her there, I'll be fine. Besides, I haven't left Luoxue Pavilion since I got pregnant, and I'd like to go out and see the world." Yin Qingyi was touched that Yinzhen had taken time out of his busy schedule to talk to her about these things. Did Yinzhen really care about her?

"You want to go out?" Yinzhen was reminded of Yin Qingyi's words and realized that she hadn't gone out since she became pregnant, so he softened his stance.

"Yes, the weather has been quite nice these past few days, no snow. I'll go check on things at the family banquet tomorrow. If I feel unwell, I'll come back immediately, okay?" Yin Qingyi said coquettishly, holding Yinzhen's hand.

"Alright, alright, as you wish." Yinzhen had no choice but to nod in agreement. Looking at Yin Qingyi's belly, which was suddenly inflating like a balloon, Yinzhen still didn't want her to go out. The people in the inner quarters didn't know that she was pregnant with multiple children, but if she went out for the family banquet tomorrow, everyone else would immediately notice that her belly was too big. At five months pregnant, she looked like someone who was seven months pregnant. Although Yinzhen often came to see her, he was still shocked by the speed at which her belly was swelling.

So Yinzhen invited Physician Li again. Although he disliked Physician Li, who had negotiated with him, the man's medical skills were quite good, so he decided to make do with him.

When Physician Li arrived and took Yin Qingyi's pulse, he was able to determine how many babies she was carrying.

Three! Thinking that this petite woman had given birth to three children at once, Yinzhen felt a mix of emotions: a bittersweet feeling, a throbbing pain, and worry.

This little woman is so small, it might not be easy for her to give birth, so he's treating Yin Qingyi like the apple of his eye right now.

"You're so good to me, Your Highness." Yin Qingyi's belly was quite big at the moment, so she couldn't snuggle into Yinzhen's arms. She could only hold Yinzhen's hand and smile sweetly.

"Nag, you must keep a close eye on her tomorrow. Mingyue, you know martial arts, so you must stay by her side at all times tomorrow. Fengqing, you must ensure the safety of her food tomorrow." Yinzhen didn't have much time, and his visit here was just a quick snap, so he couldn't spend much time with Yin Qingyi. He turned to look at the three of them with a serious expression.

"Your Highness, rest assured, this old servant will absolutely not let anything happen to the Princess." Granny Qi knew Yinzhen's worries; how could she not be worried? But what the Princess said was true. Since becoming pregnant, the Princess hadn't gone out for four months, which wasn't good for her. And now that she was in this stage of pregnancy, going out more often would be beneficial for her.

This is the princess's third pregnancy, and the delivery time may be much earlier than expected. If we don't prepare early, we might catch them off guard.
