Three months after Shi Zhenyun married into the family, her mother, Lady Jue Luo, came to the palace to visit her daughter.
Seeing that her daughter looked even more beautiful and charming than when she was at home, Jue Luo was finally relieved, but she was still a little worried.
"How are things between you and the First Prince?"
Shi Zhenyun: "Mother, the eldest prince treats me very well."
Jue Luo Shi: "Last time you came back you said that Her Majesty the Empress was very kind and the Princess was easy to get along with. What about now?"
Shi Zhenyun: "It's still the same, Mother, don't worry! I'm doing well in the palace."
Jue Luo Shi: "You're alright now, Mother is all right. By the way, has the imperial physician taken your pulse? Is there any movement in your belly?"
Shi Zhenyun: "Mother, I've only been married for a short time, how could it be so fast?"
Jue Luo herself had suffered from this. She had made vows of eternal love when she was newly married, but what was the result? So having a child is still a safer option.
"Do you want your mother to find some recipes for you to try?"
Shi Zhenyun: "Mother, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
She's perfectly healthy, so why is she taking any medicine?
Every medicine has some degree of toxicity, and besides, those prescriptions may not even be effective.
Jue Luo sighed and said, "We still need to have a child."
Shi Zhenyun knew these principles, but since the time was not right, she couldn't force it. Besides, her mother-in-law wasn't in a hurry, her husband wasn't in a hurry, and neither of them were urging her. So why was her own mother-in-law urging her?
"Yes, Mother is right. Don't worry, Mother! Master said there's no rush, we'll just let things take their course."
Hearing how protective she was of the eldest prince, Lady Jue Luo felt both relieved and worried.
She knew her daughter somewhat. The fact that her daughter could say such things meant that the eldest prince treated her well; otherwise, her daughter would listen to him so obediently. However, she was also worried because her daughter seemed to be falling for him.
Once a woman gets caught up in something, it's easy for her to get stuck. Just thinking about her makes me sigh.
Well, let's just take it one step at a time! Her daughter is smarter than her and always sees things more clearly, so she won't worry about these things anymore. All she can do is support her daughter.
Not two days after Lady Jue Luo left, Yinzhen issued an imperial edict appointing Bobo as the Crown Prince, along with an edict appointing the Crown Princess.
In fact, this imperial edict should have been issued long ago, but over the years, the emperor didn't mention it, and Bobo's maternal clan did, so no one else bothered with these matters, and no one brought it up for a long time.
Everyone thought the Emperor would not bring it up again, but just a few months after the eldest prince's marriage, the imperial edict suddenly came down.
This incident caused quite a stir both inside and outside the palace.
Not long after Shi Zhenyun became the Crown Princess, Yunrong was already planning to lighten her load a bit, but before she could even open her mouth, Shi Zhenyun was diagnosed with pregnancy.
Yunrong was a little surprised. Although she had prepared herself, she felt that she was still young, so how could she suddenly become a grandmother?
But after a little adjustment, she got used to it. Grandma is fine, Grandma is good too.
However, since Shi Zhenyun was pregnant, the handover of palace affairs could not be carried out for the time being.
When Shih Chen-yun became pregnant, the happiest person was not Shih Chen-yun and Bo-bo becoming parents, but Jue Luo, who was about to become Guo Luo's mother.
She had been hoping her daughter would get pregnant. Once she was pregnant and gave birth to a son, her daughter wouldn't have to worry about not having anyone to rely on in the future.
Jue Luo Shi understood perfectly. She knew that men couldn't be relied on, and that the only ones she could rely on were her own children. If it weren't for her daughter's hard work all these years, she didn't know how she would have survived in the backyard.
When Lady Jue Luo was so happy, she sent all sorts of good things to the palace. In fact, the palace would never lack anything, but Lady Jue Luo was still happy to do so. Shi Zhenyun knew her mother's temperament, so she accepted them.
When Shi Zhenyun was three months pregnant, Yinzhen planned to go to Mongolia. Since Shi Zhenyun was pregnant, she definitely couldn't go. Yunrong felt that it wouldn't be good to leave her pregnant daughter-in-law behind, so Bobo stayed behind to handle affairs in the capital.
Beibei and An'an naturally went along as well.
The main purpose of this trip to Mongolia was to resolve the issues left over from Mongolia. In the end, the Qing Dynasty no longer had enough princesses to marry into Mongolia. Yinzhen himself was reluctant to part with Beibei, so if he were to let a princess from the imperial clan marry there, the imperial clan would likely have objections.
Since ancient times, the only way to maintain relationships has been through marriage, such as economic control.
The grasslands of Mongolia are vast, teeming with cattle, sheep, and horses; herding is their daily life.
They were brave, but they also depended on the weather for their livelihood. If the weather was bad and too cold in a year, the cattle and sheep would freeze to death, and they would go hungry all winter. In their eyes, the Central Plains were much more vast and prosperous, so they wanted to strengthen ties with the Qing Dynasty in the hope of gaining benefits from it.
That's why Mongolia sought to form a marriage alliance with the Qing Dynasty.
They wanted to marry off Mongol daughters to the Qing Dynasty, and also wanted Mongol sons to marry Qing princesses, thus strengthening ties between the two sides.
As Beibei was growing up, it wasn't that no one had designs on her, but with Yinzhen watching, the Mongols dared not act openly.
But the problems on the Mongolian side still need to be solved.
Recently, some rumors have been circulating. Although Beibei knows they are not true, she is still unhappy to hear them.
"Your Majesty, please don't be upset. Otherwise, I'll send those gossiping people to be beaten up. You can't take what they say seriously. The Emperor and Empress love the Princess the most. How could they bear to let her marry into Mongolia? She's a stranger in this land. The Emperor and Empress would definitely not be willing to let her go."
Beibei knew: "I know, it's just... it's just..."
