Chapter 252: Being a Playboy
Yuan Siyin was still some distance from Jianzhang Palace when Xiao Quanzi hurriedly came out. Upon seeing her, he immediately slapped his thigh in alarm: "Miss, Miss, the one in the Crown Prince's courtyard has started!"
Yuan Siyin was taken aback: "Premature birth?"
At most, there are still at least one or two months left.
"Yes, I heard she tripped and fell while checking into the hotel, and immediately started having severe abdominal pain. They called the midwife, and she's been giving birth for a while now, but the baby hasn't come out yet!"
How do you know so much detail?
Yuan Siyin's gaze towards him immediately took on a strange quality.
If there were a gossip award, Xiao Quanzi would be the first to receive it, and undoubtedly deserve it.
"Naturally, it was spread by people in the Empress's palace. I have a lot of connections, so it's just a matter of asking around if I want to know anything. There are so few big things happening in the palace, it's hard not to know."
Xiao Quanzi chuckled and flicked his whisk, then leaned close to her ear and said, "I heard that Her Majesty the Empress is very anxious right now, unable to stand or sit still. I'm afraid the Second Miss Shen is not much better off."
"Is Shen Ruolan still in the palace?"
"No, I heard that the concubine had a miscarriage and she rushed back immediately. The Crown Princess was still unwell and it was inconvenient for her to travel back and forth, so she stayed to accompany Her Majesty the Empress."
As Yuan Siyin listened to him, she stepped over the threshold and said, "Okay, I understand."
Xiao Quanzi felt his enthusiasm had been wasted on such a lukewarm attitude: "Aren't you excited, young lady?"
Yuan Siyin glanced at him indifferently: "It's not like I gave birth to her, why are you so excited? If you're really excited, I can reluctantly support you, for one or two taels of silver each time."
Xiao Quanzi belatedly shuddered, trembling as he clutched his purse: "The young lady is already rolling in money, why would she care about such a small amount of silver from a servant?"
"There is no distinction between high and low status among people, nor between light and heavy or light amounts of money."
"This servant will continue to gather information and report back immediately if there is any disturbance."
Xiao Quanzi decisively slipped away and prepared to make a run for it.
"Go."
Yuan Siyin nodded to indicate that she understood, and then walked inside.
With that young palace maid looking after her, and given that Qingzhi was already in a precarious situation, no one would be foolish enough to put themselves in such a dangerous position. It must have been an accident. The only question is whether the premature baby will survive.
"Miss is back?"
Zi Yuan was playing with rabbits with Yuan Fuqing in the palace when she saw her return. She immediately went into the room and handed her a small hand warmer: "Hongxiu has made some snacks again and just sent them to the palace. Would you like to try some, Miss?"
"I'm not hungry yet."
After saying that, she sat down with the hand warmer in her sleeve, leaning lazily against the vermilion railing, her eyes unfocused and vacant.
"What are you thinking about, Miss? Is it about the young master?"
"Yes, I'm thinking about Aqing."
Yuan Siyin took a deep breath and adjusted her posture to make herself more comfortable. "After I came back, I kept thinking about whether it would be better for Aqing to learn martial arts or literature, or maybe it would be good for him to be a playboy and idle."
Zi Yuan paled slightly: "This... whether to study literature or martial arts is fine, it all depends on the young master's wishes, but the latter..."
"Please feel free to speak."
"If the young master is branded as a playboy, it will be difficult for him to clear his name later. Not everyone can be as insightful and open-minded as Miss."
"Yes, but I'm known as the wicked woman of the capital. Birds of a feather flock together. No matter how much they criticize me, they'll probably criticize me more."
