Chapter 371 The More You Look, the More It Resembles

The news that the Princess of Qin had given birth to a daughter was known to everyone in the capital.

Everyone knows that the palace has sent its best imperial physician, accompanied by a female physician, to visit Princess Qin.

Many people also sought out the midwives to inquire about the situation.

When they learned that it was Madam Shen from the Duke of Dingguo's mansion who was personally in charge, they fully understood what was going on.

Madam Shen has passed away; that is the will of the imperial family.

Therefore, the Qin king's escape was something the imperial family turned a blind eye to.

It seems that the Prince of Qin's mansion might really have a day when it can be reinstated!

This current emperor really dares to use just anyone!

Emperor Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the imperial physician recount the specific circumstances of the incident.

He promised the King of Qin that he would take good care of the Queen and the Crown Prince.

But now the King of Qin...

This guy hasn't come ashore for another month...

Alright, let's send the good news first. We'll send him the letter whenever he docks.

And so, Emperor Xiao Wu personally wrote a letter.

The letter not only mentioned the time when the Princess of Qin gave birth to her daughter, but also said that although the little girl looked a bit wrinkled at the moment, she should grow up to be a beautiful little girl.

Finally, Emperor Xiaowu said, "Your queen says she's waiting for you to choose a name."

In addition, there will be dragon boat races in Beijing this year for the Dragon Boat Festival.

My nephew came out to watch too. That kid's a bit timid. Once he's a little older, I'll arrange a martial arts instructor for him...

Ten days later, the King of Qin's ships docked.

The soldiers on the ship went ashore to eat and drink with great joy, while only the King of Qin was engrossed in reading a letter.

He really did have a daughter.

The time his daughter was born was the same time he was pulled from the sea.

Also, my son doesn't have to stay indoors all day staring at the sky anymore; he can go out now...

There will be martial arts masters in the future...

The King of Qin rubbed his reddened eyes, looked at the three large ships, and suddenly felt that he had made the right decision.

Let's give it our all! Not just for ourselves, but also for our children!

Only by striving can we have opportunities, a future, and hope...

The King of Qin stood on the ship, looking out at the boundless sea.

There are still quite a few small islands over there; it's about time we went and claimed them...

I heard there's gold on an island. I'll go dig up some more, and when I get back, I'll build my son and daughter a big golden ship...

......

The news of Princess Qin giving birth to a daughter only caused a stir in the capital for two days before everyone stopped mentioning it.

They live their lives behind closed doors and don't receive visitors, so others can't find out anything about them.

It was only during the baby's third-day celebration and full-month celebration that everyone saw gifts sent from the palace.

The Duke of Dingguo's mansion also sent some things over.

Others also wanted to deliver the gifts, but they were stopped by the palace guards as soon as they reached the door...

Time passed day by day, and summer quickly came to an end.

Shen Qingjun had already returned from Suzhou.

Less than two months after returning home, Qian Qingqing became pregnant.

Whether it was the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, the palace, or Qian Qingqing's maternal family, they all wished they could set off firecrackers for two days straight.

Qian Qingqing quickly handed over all the housekeeping duties to Shangguan Jin.

As for what her mother secretly told her, while she was still pregnant, she should quickly arrange two caring maids to accompany Shen Qingjun.

Qian Qingqing refused without even thinking.

“Mother, you’re thinking of sending concubines to Father’s bed, but I can’t do that.”

I'm not willing!

"Silly child, how could you think like that! You are the head of the household, and no matter how many men you marry, they will all have to make a living under your care."

You absolutely mustn't let people say you're jealous! You're the matriarch of the household, you have to be magnanimous..."

"What is magnanimity? Is it magnanimity to let someone else sleep with your husband?"

Mother, you're so magnanimous! How's things at home? It's still a chaotic mess.

"That's not called being generous, that's called being an idiot!" Qian Qingqing said bluntly.

Mrs. Qian...

"What is an idiot? What book is that word from?"

"A fool can drive a person crazy!" That's what Aunt Dongmai said.

Alright, Mother, please stop passing on your ideas to me.

My husband is not my father, and I will not pretend to be magnanimous like you, sending one maid after another to my father's side.

My husband is good, and I am good too. I don't want to pretend to be a virtuous wife.

Also, please don't say that all men are the same.

My husband is not like that.

"During all that time in Suzhou, didn't my husband never touch another woman?" Qian Qingqing said bluntly.

Mrs. Qian...

Why is she both angry and happy at the same time?

What angered me was that I was doing everything I could for my daughter, but she had this attitude.

I'm happy that my daughter married well; the couple is very loving and their relationship is as sweet as honey.

Unlike myself, who appears glamorous in public but has torn countless handkerchiefs behind closed doors...

......

Everything in Kyoto has returned to normal.

The Duke of Dingguo's mansion has also calmed down.

Shen Qingjun is back, and then Shen Qingming is leaving again.

This time, however, he accompanied Prince Fu to the border town to discuss specific details of border trade with the local prince...

Shangguan Jin handed over the affairs of the manor to the steward and Mama Lin, while she herself began to frequently visit Chun Bu Wan with Dongmai.

Unfortunately, she had too many things piling up recently and hadn't had time to think about Shen Qingyue.

Now that we have time, we must observe carefully and see what's really going on between Shen Qingyue and Lian Qianli.

Shangguan Jin originally thought that she would wait for Shen Qingyue to speak for herself.

As a result, after waiting for so long, Shen Qingyue had no intention of mentioning this matter at all.

Therefore, Shangguan Jin had no choice but to take the initiative.

She brought Dongmai to the private room that Chunbuwan had booked herself.

Shen Qingyue was also here, looking at the messages sent by Spring Festival Gala from various places.

Shangguan Jin gave Dongmai a wink, and Dongmai immediately understood what she meant.

When we left, the young lady told me to pay close attention to the interaction between the two of them.

She must open her eyes wide and take a good look.

The eldest young lady is our young lady's first child, so we must take extra care of her.

So Dongmai didn't even dare to blink, just staring at the door of the private room.

As is customary, once Lian Qianli learns that Shangguan Jinlai is not late for spring, he will definitely come to greet her.

Sure enough, before an incense stick had even burned, Lian Qianli arrived with a teahouse staff member, bringing over a large quantity of tea and snacks.

"Madam Shen, it's been a long time!" Lian Qianli respectfully bowed to Shangguan Jin.

Shangguan Jin nodded, indicating to Lian Qianli that there was no need for such formalities.

Dongmai, standing to the side, was thinking to herself.

See, you're feeling guilty now! When our young lady used to come, she would at most give a simple bow, but now she's bowing deeply.

Heh... He's obviously feeling guilty...
