Xiao Qingyin and Yi Shuihan instantly clicked.
She also really wanted to kill the monk.
It's so unethical to always only say half of what you mean.
After leaving the guest courtyard, Yi Shuihan kept a straight face and didn't say a word.
Xiao Qingyin was still immersed in the joy of seeing her family when she noticed his low mood. She quickly comforted him, "Don't think too much. I just went back in my dream. Aren't you still here with me?"
Yi Shuihan glanced at her, said nothing, but gripped her hand even tighter.
Xiao Qingyin reached out and hugged him, saying softly, "You can run away but you can't hide. My body from my past life has been cremated, and my soul has nowhere to go if I go back. I definitely won't stay there."
Yi Shuihan's expression softened a little after hearing this.
"You've been hungry for so long, let's eat first."
Xiao Qingyin smiled.
"did you eat?"
"No."
"Then let's eat together."
After the meal, Yi Shuihan went to the palace to handle government affairs, while Xiao Qingyin went to the medical school for class.
On the way, she noticed that there were many more people secretly following her.
He couldn't help but sigh.
Even after being married for so long, Yi Shuihan still lacks a sense of security. He keeps a close watch on her at the slightest sign of trouble, as if he's afraid she'll grow wings and fly away.
This may also be related to the fact that they have never had children.
For the past three years, no matter how hard they tried, her belly remained flat.
It was as if they were reproductively isolated.
In almost all fables, a foreign woman always loses the motivation to leave after having a child, and completely integrates into the local community.
Sometimes she wondered if she didn't love this land deeply enough, if she always felt distant from the world, and if she subconsciously refused to have children, which was why she couldn't get pregnant.
But sometimes I deny having such thoughts.
Thanks to her and Yi Shuihan's efforts, Xi Kingdom has been transformed.
The sense of accomplishment she gained here was in no way inferior to that in her previous life.
Although she occasionally misses her family from her previous life, she and Yi Shuihan have formed a small family and found a new sense of belonging. The intense loneliness she felt when she first arrived here has dissipated.
Even if the distance between us and this world exists, it is already negligible.
"Perhaps the dzi bead allowed me to return to my past life to visit my family, just hoping that I could completely let go of the past."
She thought to herself.
With her family safe and sound, she had nothing to worry about.
Just then, the coachman's voice rang out: "Your Majesty, we have arrived at the Medical School."
She composed herself and got off the carriage.
After finishing her afternoon classes, she strolled slowly toward the gate, thinking about cooking a nice meal later to appease Yi Shuihan.
I didn't expect to be stopped as soon as I stepped out of the gate.
"Your Majesty, may I invite you for tea? There is something very important I would like to discuss with you."
The speaker was a woman who looked to be about twenty years old, dressed elegantly, and had an oval face.
Xiao Qingyin felt that she looked somewhat familiar, but couldn't remember which family's daughter she was.
He hesitated and asked, "Who are you?"
The other person was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting that she didn't recognize her.
"Your Majesty, I am Princess Wenyi."
Xiao Qingyin remembered.
Zuo Miaomiao had mentioned this person to her.
It is said that Princess Wenyi bullied her because Fu Weiyun disliked her and conspired with the manager of Zhenbaoge.
To this end, she collected many cases of Treasure Pavilion bullying its customers and exposed their behavior in "Xi Wen". As a result, Treasure Pavilion's reputation plummeted and it was overtaken by Duobao Pavilion.
Thinking of this, the smile on her face faded.
"What brings you here, Princess?"
Princess Wenyi gave a fawning smile: "Your Highness, shall we sit down at the teahouse across the street and talk slowly?"
Xiao Qingyin said calmly, "I have other matters to attend to, so I'm afraid I won't have time to have tea with the princess."
Princess Wenyi looked at the students who were coming out of the main gate in twos and threes, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face: "Your Highness, the matter I want to discuss with you is rather private, and it's not very convenient here with so many people coming and going."
"Keep your voice down, or they won't hear you."
Princess Wenyi: "..."
Seeing that Xiao Qingyin remained unmoved, she had no choice but to take two steps closer and say softly, "I came to see Your Majesty this time because I wanted to share Your Majesty's burdens."
Xiao Qingyin raised an eyebrow, showing an expression of eagerness to hear more.
Princess Wenyi continued:
"The Empress and His Majesty have been married for almost three years, but they still have no children. Some people in the court have long submitted memorials to His Majesty, requesting that His Majesty expand the harem, but His Majesty's love for the Empress is as deep as the sea, and he has suppressed these memorials."
However, this is not a long-term solution.
If the Empress fails to conceive, both His Majesty and the Empress will face increasing pressure.
Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, the Great Xi Dynasty has become increasingly prosperous and powerful. Everyone can see that Your Majesty is destined to become a wise and benevolent ruler.
Wouldn't it be a pity if no one were to inherit this great and prosperous era?
I have always admired Your Majesty and do not wish to see you troubled by this, therefore I have dared to volunteer to bear a child for Your Majesty and Your Majesty.
Xiao Qingyin: "..."
As birds grow bigger, you'll find all sorts of forests.
There were even people who came up to her and offered to be her surrogate mothers.
She didn't know if this princess had any other special talents, but she certainly had a thick skin.
Princess Wenyi, seeing the unreadable expression on her face, added, "Your Highness, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean to get close to His Majesty. I recently read the 'Guide to Getting Rich by Raising Pigs' written by Marquis Yong'an, which mentioned that one could obtain breeding pigs..."
As she said this, her face flushed slightly.
"Your Majesty should know what I'm talking about: a way for a boar to get a sow pregnant without mating with it."
