"The imperial physician said it might be twins." Jiang Yun touched her belly, dismissed the extra maids, and kept only two trusted confidants to serve her.
Shen Youying said, "If it really is twins, that would be a good thing, but I'm afraid my sister-in-law will have to suffer a lot of tears."
"I'm not afraid of hardship." Jiang Yun looked down at her belly, took her hand and said, "I'm just afraid my body won't be able to hold up, and I won't be able to stay with Your Highness and the baby..."

Jiang Yun shook her head, unsure of what to say. Seeing the worry in Shen Youying's eyes, she didn't want her to worry about her, so she changed the subject, smiling as she spoke of her and the Prince of Qin: "You're right. Let's not talk about me anymore. Let's talk about you and the Prince of Qin. I heard that the Prince of Qin has recently moved into your courtyard?"
