"Hehe, it's more prestigious if it's given by the prince."
Xu Wanyan laughed dumbly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
"By the way, when will Xu Wanqing be back?"
Qiao Yun was secretly delighted. "Princess, the eldest lady walked back. It will probably take her ten days or half a month to get back to the capital."
Xu Wanyan thought about it and agreed. After all, it wasn't easy for a pregnant woman to walk all the way back.
"Wait a minute."
Soon, the capital began to shuffle violently.
All the members of the former prince's party were executed overnight, and everyone in the capital was in danger.
The Shen family was implicated, but fortunately the Lin family stepped in to protect them, allowing Master Shen and his family to escape the fate of being beheaded. However, the emperor's mind is unpredictable, and Master Shen and his family voluntarily resigned from their posts and returned home, and soon the house was deserted.
Shen Yujiao fainted from crying several times while pregnant, but fortunately, she had her husband by her side, so she felt less pain.
Seeing this, Xu Wanyan went to Lin's house twice in three days to keep him company.
The Lin family had originally made great contributions to the emperor and hoped to move up to a higher level, but they did not expect that the emperor would remain vague about the matter.
Although the Lin family was dissatisfied, they did not dare to say anything.
After all, Xiao Muchan wanted to usurp the throne, and it was a great blessing for Lin Yue'e, the Crown Princess, to be able to escape alive.
Even if the Lin family was angry, they had to endure it.
"Princess, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion invites you."
"No."
Shen Yujiao had given birth to a baby boy yesterday, and she had gone to see him. Now he came to see her, obviously for other matters.
Xiao Jingming has been in the imperial presence now, and she doesn't want the Lin family to seize the opportunity.
The butler left in a hurry and never came back.
Xu Wanyan thought her meaning was clear, but she didn't expect that the Lin family would bring Lin Yue'e to Prince Chen's Mansion in person the next day.
"Princess Chen is so arrogant! An old woman like me can't even invite you."
Xu Wanyan curled her lips slightly, "Old Madam, you are wrong. I have been feeling sleepy lately and have lost my appetite. I don't have the energy to bother with trivial matters."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed, especially Lin Yue'e.
His face was pale, tears were in his eyes, and he was about to collapse.
"What did you say?"
Facing Madam Lin's harsh words, Xu Wanyan still smiled and said, "It means exactly what it says."
"you……"
Madam Lin glared at Xu Wanyan fiercely and said in a muffled voice, "Yue'e is Jingchen's cousin. They have been childhood sweethearts. Now that Yue'e has encountered this, as her cousin, he must shoulder the responsibility of taking care of her."
Xu Wanyan sneered, "I wonder how Madam Lin takes care of me? Miss Lin is the former Crown Princess. Now, she wants to come to Prince Chen's Mansion. I am worried that it will affect my prince's reputation."
"What reputation? If it weren't for you, now..."
Before she could finish her words, Xu Wanyan asked coldly, "Madam Lin, do you think the emperor agrees with your idea?"
Madam Lin's face froze. "My Lin family assisted the Xiao family in ascending the throne. This is what they owe..."
"Grandma, be careful with your words!"
Xiao Jingming walked over with a cold face, then walked up to Xu Wanyan and gently took her hand.
Mrs. Lin was furious when she saw this scene, "Shameless."
Xu Wanyan laughed in anger, "Why do you say that, old lady? I am Jing Ming's legitimate wife. How can we be so shameless holding hands?"
After saying this, she glanced at the Lin family jokingly, "So what's this about? A forced competition? But let me be frank, there's no way I'll be a concubine."
"You... your Xu family is a small family, yet you dare to compete with my Lin family? Xu, I suggest you ask to leave as soon as possible, otherwise you will not even have the chance to regret it in the end."
Hearing this, Xu Wanyan stopped arguing with her, but pouted and looked at Xiao Jingming, "Husband, look, they want to kill to silence you."
"When did we say this?" Old Madam Lin's face turned red with anger.
"Grandmother, I say it again, I will only have Wanyan as my wife in this life. I will not marry anyone else, nor will I take concubines."
"Who said Yue'e was going to be a concubine..."
Xiao Jingming didn't look at Madam Lin, but looked directly at Lin Yue'e, and said word by word: "Cousin, you have always been my cousin in my heart, and you have never had any other identity."
Having said that, Lin Yue'e knew that if she continued to cling on, she would only bring shame upon herself, so she whispered, "Don't worry, I know."
Old Madam Lin was so angry that she banged her cane on the ground.
"Evil creature! Evil creature!"
Xiao Jingming sneered: "Grandmother, it's not that my father doesn't know what the Lin family has done, so I advise you to resign!"
"you......"
At this moment, the Lin family no longer had the arrogance they had just now, and stared at Xiao Jingming with wide eyes.
Finally, the Lin family members lost their momentum, turned around and left.
"What happened to Father?"
Xiao Jingming touched her hair and said, "The Lin family wanted to force Xiao Muhan out and replace him, but Father saw through it."
Xu Wanyan was also surprised at this. "I thought they wanted to support you..."
"That was the idea at first, but later, I kept talking, so they planned... However, they didn't expect that the Emperor Father was already fully prepared."
"They thought the soldiers from the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion were hiding in the dark that night, but in fact, they were exposed long ago."
Xu Wanyan breathed a sigh of relief, "Your advice is for their own good."
"Yes, grandma is a person who knows the current situation. She will definitely listen to what I say."
Xu Wanyan nodded.
"By the way, you haven't been energetic lately and your appetite has been poor?"
Xu Wanyan didn't expect that he had heard it, and couldn't help but lower her head, "Yes, a little."
"Someone, call the imperial physician!"
Hearing this, Xu Wanyan forced a smile on her face, "No, no need. I, I'm just a little tired. It's probably because I've been so busy and nervous lately."
Xiao Jingming shook his head, his face serious. "No matter what happens to your body, let the imperial physician take a look and prescribe some tonic."
Xu Wanyan had no choice but to listen to him.
Soon, the imperial physician hurried over with a medicine box.
Xu Wanyan followed Xiao Jingming's instructions and lay obediently on the bed, waiting for the results of the imperial physician's pulse diagnosis.
The servants in the palace thought something had happened to their master, and they all gathered outside, waiting anxiously.
After a moment, the imperial physician stood up with a smile, looked at Xiao Jingming beside him, and clasped his hands together, "Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness! The princess is pregnant and is two months pregnant."
When these words came out, Xiao Jingming was stunned, and Xu Wanyan was also stunned.
Then, a big flower blossomed on Xiao Jingming's face, "Really, really?"
"It is absolutely true. However, Your Highness has been overly worried lately and is a little weak. I will prescribe some medicine to maintain the pregnancy. You will be fine after taking it."
"Thank you, come here, reward!"
The servants outside also heard the good news and cheered.
Xu Wanyan was a little shy. She just wanted to piss off the Lin family, but she didn't expect it to be true.
