Chapter 2035: Giving Birth to a Prince
Xu Miaoyin took Nan Yan all the way to the courtyard arranged for her, and suddenly she felt a pair of eyes looking at her.
People like them who have lived in the harem for many years are very sensitive to gazes.
She turned her head away immediately.
I saw two people standing in front of the window of the house next door. I looked at them and found that they were strangers.
Xu Miaoyin frowned slightly, and the person inside seemed to come to his senses, hurried out and kowtowed to her.
Xu Miaoyin asked, "Who are those two?"
Nan Yan turned around and took a look, then quickly said, "They are from Bailong City."
"White Dragon City?"
"It's a city-state on the border between Yan and Neng. It has close trade ties with the Western Regions. This master and servant are the son of the Xue family, the largest medicinal herb merchant in the city, and his maid."
"Why did you follow me here?"
"By chance, he also played a role in eradicating the bandits near Shazhouwei. The Emperor brought him back to the capital, intending to appoint him to the Imperial Hospital."
"Imperial Hospital..."
Xu Miaoyin raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the thin figure again.
"What's his name?"
"Xue Yun."
Nan Yan asked again, "Does your Majesty want to go over and take a look?"
“…”
Xu Miaoyin thought for a moment and said, "No need. Since we are going all the way back to Beijing, we can see each other later."
The implication is that it is not his turn now.
Nan Yan nodded, asked someone to pass on the message, asking Xue Yun and the others to get up and leave, and then she followed Xu Miaoyin into the courtyard.
When we walked in, we saw that although the courtyard was not big, it was well organized.
A road paved with bluestone slabs leads directly to the three monasteries in front. There are many flowers and plants planted on both sides of the road. Due to the proper construction, they are blooming luxuriantly.
There are green trees and a cool breeze when you walk inside.
It was indeed as Xu Miaoyin had just said, quiet and cool.
Xu Miaoyin smiled and said, "What do you think of this place?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "This place is indeed very nice, but please forgive me, Her Majesty, for taking care of me."
"You are pregnant with the Dragonborn now, so it is my duty to take care of you."
"Thank you, my lady."
The two of them walked into the room together.
The facilities inside were also complete. After the two sat down, Xu Miaoyin said to Bihe beside her, "Take Tongyun and Miss Nianqiu to the kitchen and pharmacy. Now that the imperial concubine is pregnant, have the people in these two places pay attention to the service. Also, prepare some more tea and snacks."
Bihe agreed and came over to take them down.
Xu Miaoyin turned around and asked, "Are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?"
Nan Yan said, "I'm not tired."
"Looking at your expression, it's okay."
“…”
"Indeed, this is already your third pregnancy, so you have experience. But no matter what, don't be too careless. The emperor has few children, and now he has this prince, and he is eagerly awaiting him. Don't let anything unexpected happen to you."
As the queen, she naturally had to explain this.
But when Nan Yan listened, she felt a little heavy in her heart.
It wasn't just because she thought of the two children she had lost.
And then there is——
This was the second time Xu Miaoyin mentioned that she wanted to give birth to a prince.
Although, after the news of her pregnancy was passed back to the capital, there must have been a lot of speculation in the harem, and everyone must have been wondering whether she would give birth to a prince, but as the only queen with a son, she mentioned this matter several times, and it seemed not so simple.
Nan Yan thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I will naturally take care of myself."
“…”
"It is also thanks to the blessing of the Queen."
Xu Miaoyin smiled and said, "What kind of blessing do I have? It's still your blessing. If this pregnancy can successfully give birth to a prince, then you will have both a son and a daughter."
“…”
"Come to think of it, you haven't seen Xinping in almost half a year."
When the word "Xinping" was mentioned, Nan Yan's heart moved again.
She said hurriedly: "Yes, although I am far away in Shazhouwei, I miss her every moment."
Xu Miaoyin said, "Actually, I originally wanted to bring Xinping with me this time so that you and your daughter can meet sooner. But the journey is long and the weather is hot, and I'm afraid she's too young to endure such hardship, so I had to give up."
“…”
"You should wait until you return to Beijing to see her again."
Nan Yan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, thank you for worrying about Xinping."
"It's not a big deal. Although she's young, she's well-behaved and cute. Every time I see her, all the worries in my heart disappear."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "It's good that she can make the queen happy."
Xu Miaoyin sighed, "I just hope that when she grows up, she can be like this."
“…”
"Don't be like her brother and make me worry."
Hearing this, Nan Yan's breathing paused again.
She knew very well that Xu Miaoyin had brought her here not just to show her the courtyard, and to do her a favor, she must have mentioned this matter.
So, she hesitated for a moment and said, "My Lady, the King of Wei—"
What surprised Nan Yan was that as soon as she mentioned this, Xu Miaoyin said, "Okay, you should have a good rest. I'm tired too, and I need to go back and rest too."
“…”
Nan Yan looked at her in astonishment.
Didn't she come here with me to talk about the King of Wei?
Why does she want to leave when this is mentioned?
Nan Yan was a bit confused, but Xu Miaoyin had already stood up and walked out, telling her to get some rest as she went. Nan Yan had no choice but to bow and say, "Farewell, Your Majesty."
After saying that, he watched Xu Miaoyin's back as she walked away.
After the master and servant left, Ran Xiaoyu immediately stepped forward, held Nan Yan's arm, and whispered, "Your Majesty, what's going on with the Queen? Didn't she come here to tell you about His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei?"
“…”
"Why, she left right after we started?"
“…”
Nan Yan frowned, thought for a long time, and said softly, "I understand."
Ran Xiaoyu immediately looked at her: "What?"
Nan Yan said, "She is waiting for me to speak first."
"What?"
Ran Xiaoyu became increasingly puzzled, while Nan Yan had already turned around and slowly walked back to the chair, holding onto the armrest and sitting down, then said, "Actually, I already felt something was strange just now in the lobby."
"What's strange?"
"This matter is indeed due to the Empress's poor discipline. It is understandable that she has come here to apologize to the Emperor."
“…”
"But, generally speaking, what else needs to be done to apologize to the emperor?"
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu thought about it, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said: "We still have to prepare a solution to the problem. This is the most important thing in apologizing."
"good."
Nan Yan said, "But just now, she didn't say from beginning to end how she planned to solve this matter."
"Then what does she mean?"
"She's waiting for someone to come up with ideas."
