Chapter 273 Visit to the Grand Princess's Residence
It was already three quarters past three in the afternoon when Song Qingyan and her group left General Han's residence.
As she was worried about disturbing the eldest princess' rest, Song Qingyan simply asked the eunuch who was driving the carriage to take a walk around the city so that Wanwan could experience the atmosphere of the city outside the palace.
But as luck would have it, it was afternoon, lunch time, and there were still not many people on the street.
What's more, halfway through the journey, Lu Xingwan actually fell asleep.
Before falling asleep, Lu Xingwan was still mumbling.
[Mother, it’s so nice outside the palace. You can go wherever you want.]
[The air outside the palace seems to be particularly fresh! Mother... I'm so sleepy...]
Song Qingyan was originally looking ahead, but when she turned her head to take a look, she saw that Lu Xingwan, who was in Jinyu's arms, had lowered his head and had fallen asleep.
Seeing her like this, Song Qingyan raised the corners of her eyes slightly and raised the corners of her lips lightly.
Turn around and open the car curtain.
Pei Chuyan, who was riding a horse beside her, noticed Song Qingyan's action at the first moment and asked, "My queen, what's wrong?"
Song Qingyan said softly, "Tell the driver to drive slower. It's time to sleep."
Pei Chuyan smiled when he heard this, and then turned to instruct the driver beside him.
But in my heart I was thinking that Princess Yong'an seemed like a little adult on weekdays, but she was still a child after all.
The group finally arrived at the eldest princess's mansion. Seeing that it was the imperial concubine's carriage, the servant at the gate did not go to report to his master. He immediately opened the middle door and welcomed the group in.
Coincidentally, the eldest princess had just woken up from her nap.
At this moment, Qin Xing was accompanying him in the corridor of the main courtyard. The two of them were chatting and laughing, and they were in very harmonious harmony.
This was the scene Song Qingyan saw when she came in.
I couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing Song Qingyan, the eldest princess stood up and greeted her: "Aunt is here!"
Her eyes were filled with surprise: "How come Auntie is free from the palace today?"
It is not easy for a concubine to leave the palace, and the eldest princess dare not even think that Song Qingyan will come to see her.
Then, she looked at the servant following behind Song Qingyan with a cold face and said coldly, "I am sorry that you didn't come to inform me that my aunt is here."
The servant knelt down with a sullen mouth: "Princess, your servant..."
But I couldn't open my mouth.
Seeing this, Song Qingyan also spoke up to defend the boy: "Xingruo, you don't have to blame him, it's just that I'm faster."
After saying this, he pulled the princess to the corridor and said, "Let's bask in the sun here. It's already very hot today, so don't get sunburned."
As they walked, he kept muttering, "You're older now, and your pregnancy was unstable before. Don't get angry about these things. Let Qin Xing handle everything."
After saying this, he turned to look at Qin Xing and asked, "Have you done anything stupid recently to upset our Xing Ruo?"
Qin Xing hurriedly cupped his hands and replied with a red face: "Don't worry, Madam, something like that will never happen again. Please rest assured, Madam."
The eldest princess seemed to be afraid that Song Qingyan was still angry with Qin Xing because of what happened last time, so she defended him: "Don't worry, auntie, Qin Xing has just softened his heart. Now he has pushed all the things outside and stays at home with me every day!"
After saying this, he whispered into Song Qingyan's ear: "To be honest, I'm really hoping that he'll get out soon. I'm a little fed up with him."
Song Qingyan looked at Lu Xingruo's cute appearance and said nothing more.
After all, he is Xingruo's own husband, and as long as she is happy, that's all.
After walking a few more steps, the eldest princess suddenly thought of something, turned around and looked behind her, and asked hesitantly, "Why didn't Aunt bring Wanwan with her today? Instead, she only brought Jinxin with her."
"Wanwan fell asleep, and Jinyu carried her down the corridor, so she walked slowly." When Song Qingyan said this, she turned around and looked back. It was indeed a bit slow.
She had no idea how fast she was walking.
The doorman almost had to jog to keep up with her.
Since there were so many people coming, they naturally couldn't talk in the corridor, so they all went into the inner room together.
It was already very hot today, and there was still some wind outside, but the house was very stuffy. And because the eldest princess was pregnant and afraid of heat, she used ice early.
After watching Song Qingyan sit down, the eldest princess asked, "Aunt, how did you find time to leave the palace today?"
Qin Xing had also been busy on the side and brought Song Qingyan a cup of tea.
Song Qingyan took a look at the steaming tea and found it hard to swallow, so she just glanced at it and didn't pick it up.
He looked at the eldest princess in front of him and said, "You have been fooling around in the yard. Today is the day when General Han and Miss Shen are getting married."
"Because your brother, the crown prince, wants to go, I have also asked your father for permission to go out of the palace to play together."
"I was afraid they would feel uncomfortable, so I didn't stay long. I still wanted to come and see you."
"Aunt, would you like to stay for one night?" The eldest princess was naturally excited when she heard this. She had indeed not seen her aunt for a long time. Then she sighed and said no more.
It is unrealistic to let my aunt stay for one night.
As they were talking, Jinyu came in holding Lu Xingwan, and Pei Chuyan naturally followed behind Jinyu in a serious manner.
Jinxin hurried over to pick up Lu Xingwan.
Wen Chun, who was beside the eldest princess, hurried forward to tidy up the princess' bed after receiving the eldest princess's signal.
Since several people were talking in the inner room, they simply placed Lu Xingwan on the eldest princess's couch.
At this time, Qin Xing took the servant beside him and walked outside, talking to him something.
Because Lu Xingwan had arrived, the eldest princess lowered her voice and said, "Seeing how cute Wanwan is, I am looking forward to this little fellow."
As the eldest princess said this, she reached out and stroked her belly, her eyes full of anticipation.
Because the eldest princess is about six months pregnant, her belly is already quite big.
"Have you asked the imperial physician to check it? Is it a boy or a girl?" Song Qingyan looked at the eldest princess' belly, feeling a little worried.
Because she had suffered a difficult labor when she gave birth to Lu Xingwan, she is now a little afraid of seeing anyone giving birth.
But I was indeed harmed by someone at that time.
Thinking of this, he did not wait for the eldest princess to reply, and began to instruct her: "A midwife should be found in advance for the birth, and two imperial doctors should be waiting in the yard at that time to prevent any sudden problems."
"You must find a reliable widow, and let someone you trust take care of everything. Remember not to delegate."
When Song Qingyan said this, she looked at Qin Xing.
Seeing that the Royal Concubine was so serious, Qin Xing didn't say much. He just bowed solemnly and nodded, agreeing to the matter.
When the eldest princess saw Song Qingyan like this, she couldn't help but feel distressed.
