Qin Ye stood there, thinking about what Qin Jiaojiao had said, with a dazed expression on his face.

What she said... was true. Thinking back carefully, Prince Li was indeed very good to her.

She had always thought that Prince Li and Prince Chen were brothers, and that it was normal for them to have a good relationship and close contact, but Qin Jiaojiao's words woke her up:

Prince Li not only has a good relationship with Prince Chen, but he also treats her better...

Is this a normal relationship, or is she just overthinking it?

"Xiao Ye," Princess Ding held her hand, patted it, and said earnestly, "You seem to be getting closer to Prince Li recently?"

A tentative word, which was also a reminder, directly awakened Qin Ye.

yes!

Getting too close!

Even Princess Ding noticed it, but she acted like an idiot. They say a woman becomes stupid for three years after pregnancy, but she started to become stupid before she even gave birth.

"Sister Yu, I understand." Qin Ye nodded.

From today on, she will keep her distance from King Li.

Princess Ding smiled gently and said, "You are a smart child and likable. No wonder Prince Chen doesn't want any other woman now that he has you."

Ignoring what happened just now, I took Qin Ye's hand and continued to stroll for a while.

The people who had watched half of the excitement were still not satisfied. Although they didn't know what happened, they made up their minds based on the conversation just now and came up with the following discussions:

"Have you heard? Princess Chen and Princess Li had a fight in the street today. The sisters turned against each other to fight for the position of Crown Prince. The fight was very fierce."

"Princess Chen is worried that Princess Li will give birth to a son, and wants to harm the baby in Princess Li's belly..."

"No, no, that's not the case. Prince Chen is so favored, why would Princess Chen harm him? The fact is that Princess Li is jealous and said this on purpose to tarnish Princess Chen's reputation..."

For a time, there were mixed reviews.

Away from the palace.

“Jiaojiao!”

Mrs. Wei, who received the news, hurried over, rushed forward, excitedly grabbed Qin Jiaojiao's hand, and looked at her belly eagerly.

"Really? This is true?"

Qin Jiaojiao smiled sweetly, nodded gently, and looked at Zong Zhengli who was standing beside her with smiling eyes.

"That's great!" Madam Wei was so excited. "You have a child. I will have a grandson soon. That's great! Li'er, Li'er, you have grown up!"

She held up Zong Zhengli's hands, her eyes red and filled with tears.

Once upon a time, she watched Li'er grow up, and now, she watched his child being born. Nothing is more meaningful than the inheritance of offspring.

"Li'er, seeing you healthy and safe, getting married and having children is what I look forward to most. Only if you have a happy family and live a peaceful life will all the suffering I have endured over the years be worthwhile..." Her voice was hoarse.

Over the years, she raised Prince Li and went through all the hardships and pains along the way, and finally she has made it through today.

If his biological mother in the underworld knew about this, she would be extremely happy.

Zong Zhengli looked at his adoptive mother's weathered face and stopped talking, "Mother..."

"Mom is so happy! Li'er is pregnant. I will go burn two sticks of incense for your mother and tell her the good news!"

Mrs. Wei wiped her tears excitedly and immediately turned around and ran towards the ancestral hall.

As he walked, he said happily:

"Come here, prepare some fresh fruits! Oh, and tell the kitchen to plan the nutrition of the princess's meals from today on. Also, send someone to the palace to tell the emperor about this..."

Zong Zhengli looked at her excited expression, his heart was as calm as water, without any joy at all.

His mother hoped that he would be indifferent to fame and fortune, not fight or compete, not get involved in disputes between brothers, and live a stable, solid and safe life.

He could give up his power and position, hide his identity, and fulfill his mother's wishes.

But, if you have to spend your whole life with someone you don’t like, then what is the meaning of this life?
