This method should work for humans too, right?
If I can conceive, the child I give birth to will be given to the Empress, as if it were born from her.
I will never publicize this matter, nor will I have any contact with the child.
I do all this purely to share the burdens of Her Majesty and His Majesty, so that the prosperous era of the Great Xi Dynasty can continue.
Xiao Qingyin had never worked this hard before.
She held back her laughter as she made her point, managing not to burst out laughing when Princess Wenyi delivered her profound remarks.
It's such a pity that Yi Shuihan didn't get to hear these words in person.
In the eyes of those girls, he, the emperor, was no different from a stud pig.
She forced a smile and said, "The princess is truly the noblest person I have ever met. I admire her wholeheartedly for being willing to do such charity."
Princess Wenyi didn't catch the sarcasm in her words and thought she had truly moved her. She lowered her head shyly and said, "Your Majesty flatters me. I just wanted to do my part."
Xiao Qingyin straightened her face: "Aren't you afraid that after it's all over, I'll spare the child and kill you to silence you?"
Princess Wenyi flattered, "Your Highness's character is known throughout the land. I know that Your Highness has never had anyone die unjustly, which is why I mustered the courage to recommend myself."
Xiao Qingyin: She really doesn't dare to accept such high praise.
She chuckled and said, "Although you are very sincere, some things cannot be achieved simply by having the will. Please take my pulse and let me see your constitution before we discuss anything further."
Princess Wenyi was overjoyed and immediately stretched out her hands.
After taking her pulse, Xiao Qingyin frowned.
Princess Wenyi's heart jumped into her throat.
"Your Majesty, I should be fine, right? I just went to Huimin Medical Clinic a couple of days ago to have my pulse checked."
Xiao Qingyin replied, "Your body is fine, it's just that you have some mental issues."
Princess Wenyi didn't react for a moment, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with my brain?"
"Your brain has turned into tofu pudding, and your child will probably inherit your tofu pudding."
Xiao Qingyin smiled.
"You are not fit to be a pregnant mother. However, your suggestion is excellent, and I will convey it to Your Majesty."
Princess Wenyi finally came to her senses.
Xiao Qingyin was indirectly calling her stupid.
Her face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Your Majesty, I sincerely want to serve the Great Xi Dynasty, how can you scold me? I don't want to compete with you for favor, I just want to leave an heir for His Majesty, do you have to treat me like this?"
Xiao Qingyin glanced at her and said slowly, "In your eyes, am I just a piece of tofu?"
Princess Wenyi was stunned.
"Your Majesty, I didn't say that to you."
"If I weren't a tofu pudding, why would I agree to your suggestion?"
Xiao Qingyin sneered.
"You don't want to compete for favor, but you want to be the Empress Dowager."
I raised my child with great difficulty, hoping he would inherit the empire that His Majesty and I had worked so hard to build, so that he could take care of you, his old mother. Do you think I am such a generous and selfless person?
Princess Wenyi's thoughts were exposed, and her face turned pale.
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. I really have no intention of becoming Empress Dowager. If you don't trust me, after I give birth, you can send me to the capital or the Holy City. I can guarantee that I will never set foot in the capital for the rest of my life."
Xiao Qingyin retorted, "What guarantees do you have? Your head? Your character? Or the heads of your entire family?"
Princess Wenyi gave a prepared answer: "I guarantee it with my life. If I break this agreement, I will have no complaints about being killed or tortured."
“You have no complaints, but I do.”
Xiao Qingyin chuckled softly.
"I would rather find a sow to be my surrogate mother than consider you. You'd better give up on this idea as soon as possible."
Looking for a sow?!
Can pigs and humans have children?
Princess Wenyi was bewildered by the wind.
She laughed awkwardly, "Your Majesty, please don't joke. I really don't want anything. After His Majesty ascended the throne, he didn't strip me of my title as a princess and even allowed me to enjoy my original salary. I feel deeply guilty, which is why I wanted to do this."
Xiao Qingyin was too lazy to argue with her any further.
"You can't go down this path with me. Go find your emperor; maybe he'll be interested."
She really wanted to know what Yi Shuihan's expression was when he heard that others were using him as a stud.
Princess Wenyi's face immediately fell.
"Your Majesty, you know perfectly well that I can't even get a glimpse of His Majesty..."
Before he finished speaking, Yi Shuihan rode over on his white horse.
Xiao Qingyin waved to him: "You've come at the right time. Princess Wenyi has a suggestion she'd like to discuss with you."
Yi Shuihan dismounted and glanced at Princess Wenyi out of the corner of his eye.
"What suggestion?"
Xiao Qingyin gave Princess Wenyi a wink: "Your chance has come."
This was the first time Princess Wenyi had been so close to Yi Shuihan's divine face, and her heart was pounding wildly.
After a moment of blankness, she remembered that she should bow.
He curtsied and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Yi Shuihan waved his hand: "No need for formalities, let's get straight to the point."
Princess Wenyi bit her lip, looking shy and embarrassed, a stark contrast to her demeanor when she was with Xiao Qingyin.
She gave Xiao Qingyin a pleading look, as if hoping she would convey her message.
Xiao Qingyin pretended not to see it.
Seeing that Yi Shuihan was about to lose his patience, she said shyly, "I just suggested to Her Majesty the Empress that I am willing to bear a child for His Majesty..."
After hearing this, Yi Shuihan glanced at Xiao Qingyin.
He wondered why she seemed so excited; it turned out she was just having fun with him.
He chuckled and said to Princess Wenyi, "From what you're saying, you think the Empress and I don't have children because of the Empress's problems?"
