To be honest, her age in her two lifetimes combined was enough for her to be his mother, but she didn't say it.

"Prince, Princess, Queen Tong is here!"

The old housekeeper came running in, reporting the news. Just as he finished speaking, Concubine Tong shouted from a distance outside:

"Son! Son!"

She lifted up the hem of her skirt and ran very fast, her hair bouncing up and down, she looked anxious and happy, without any airs of a palace concubine at all.

The accompanying palace maids have become accustomed to it. If the queen were to seriously engage in palace fighting, it would be impossible for her to sit in the position of a concubine for more than 20 years.

Concubine Tong cried with joy: "Son, are you really going to have a son?"

"Mother, slow down!" Qin Ye stood up and walked forward, "It's still snowing and icy, be careful not to slip."

"You are the one who should be careful, my daughter-in-law!" Concubine Tong held Qin Ye's hand tightly with her backhand, her eyes were red with excitement and misty.

When she learned that Princess Chen was pregnant, she was happier than ever.

In the past, she had never been so happy when Prince Chen won battles, made great achievements, and accomplished great things.

"I'm going to have a grandson soon. The child is good, good!" She held Qin Ye's hands tightly, murmuring, "The child is good..."

From ancient times to the present, for thousands and tens of thousands of years, no matter how much wealth, power, or status one has, in the end, they are all empty talk. Only blood inheritance is the hope of the family.

Only with children can we look forward to the future.

There is hope, there is weakness, and there is armor.

"Mother, why did you come here in such a cold day?" Zong Zhengchen held her shoulders and sat down to warm himself by the fire. Yue'er made a cup of hot tea.

"Such a big thing, you didn't tell me right away, how could I not come? Do you still have me as your mother? Do you think of me as an outsider? You don't go out even though you have a grandson, so when should I go out? Will I go out on the day of my death and funeral?"

Concubine Tong poked Zong Zhengchen's head and spoke venomously to him.

Zong Zhengchen shut up and remained silent, not daring to talk back.

He just found out about Qin Ye's pregnancy yesterday, and was so happy for a moment that he forgot to inform his mother.

Qin Ye sat on the side, looking at the man who wanted to retort but swallowed it silently. He felt so aggrieved that he immediately gloated over his misfortune.

I never thought that Zong Zhengchen would ever be so honest.

As expected, everything in the world has its own strengths and weaknesses, and nothing is invincible.

Concubine Tong scolded Zong Zhengchen severely, and pulled his ears, admonishing him:

"I brought the best supplements from the palace. You must protect your daughter-in-law and make her plump and white. If she doesn't gain ten pounds in a month, I will hold you responsible!"

Qin Ye's smile suddenly stopped: "???"

Ten pounds a month, a hundred pounds in ten months, how can you get from eighty pounds to one hundred and eighty pounds?

No!

She refused!

If her figure gets out of shape, she becomes fat, ugly, and has stretch marks, she won't even want to have children!

Zong Zhengchen, however, seemed to have turned the tables and immediately chuckled:

"Yes! As you command, mother!"

The palace maid stepped forward and placed four exquisite brocade boxes on the table. They were filled with extremely valuable supplements that were hard to buy even with money.

Concubine Tong happily took Qin Ye's hand and carefully instructed him:

"My daughter-in-law, for the next year, you should stay in Prince Chen's mansion peacefully. Don't think about anything, don't do anything, and let Zong Zhengchen do anything."

"Don't feel sorry for your husband, love yourself more. Zong Zhengchen is just like an ox, he can be plowed to death."
