It was a good day, the king was happy, the people were joyful, and the whole country celebrated.
The streets are bustling with activity. Women have various patterns painted on their foreheads for decoration. People walk around in their gorgeous clothes, laughing and talking. Vendors in the market greet customers warmly, and there are many folk artists performing in the streets.
Yue Lingyin stroked her still flat belly and hesitated for a long time. In the end, she did not stop the carriage. Finally, the carriage passed through the crowd and stopped in a secluded alley.
Yue Lingyin lifted the curtain of the car and walked into a quiet and elegant house under the guidance of a stranger.
"My name is Li Wuyang, the newly promoted commander of the Imperial Guards. Your Majesty, please rest assured and stay here. If you need anything, please let me know."
Li Wuyang didn't dare to look directly at her face, and even spoke to her from a few meters away, as if he was afraid that she would eat him.
Yue Lingyin was stunned when she heard the Imperial Guards commander and asked, "Where's Feng Mian?"
Li Wuyang said respectfully, "Commander Feng has resigned from his post and returned home."
Yue Lingyin pursed her lips, as if she had thought of something, and walked forward without saying a word.
The house is not very big, with two courtyards, but it has everything including corridors, rockery and gardens.
Yue Lingyin chose a room to live in.
Li Wuyang went back to report and left a group of guards around the house.
In the dead of night, someone came walking on the moon and knocked on Yue Lingyin's window.
Yue Lingyin was wearing a light white dress and preparing to go to bed. When she heard a strange noise, her heart tightened. The next second, there was a person in front of her, pressing her down on the bed.
Yue Lingyin let out a soft cry and subconsciously covered her stomach.
"Don't panic, it's me."
Yue Lingyin looked at the man in front of her in shock. She saw that his face had clear contours, his features were strong and handsome, and every line was just right, smooth and graceful.
"Wei Jinzhi, let me go."
Wei Jinzhi lowered his head and kissed her lips gently. It was a long time before he separated them, his breath hot and scorching. "You are out of the palace now and can marry freely. Will you marry me?"
"No!" Yue Lingyin kicked him angrily, but he grabbed her leg and put it on her waist. He lowered his head and gently bit her collarbone, leaving an ambiguous red mark on her body.
Yue Lingyin whimpered, feeling... She panicked: "Don't do anything rash, I'm pregnant!"
Pregnant!
Wei Jinzhi felt as if struck by lightning. He turned over and sat up, his heartbeat accelerating involuntarily. His voice unconsciously carried a hint of anticipation: "Is the child mine?"
Yue Lingyin bit her lip and remained silent for a long time.
Wei Jinzhi's fiery heart felt like it had been poured with a bucket of cold water. He asked coldly, "Whose child is it?"
Yue Lingyin sighed softly, "I don't know either."
What do you mean by "not knowing"? Wei Jinzhi was incredulous: "Besides me... who else are you with?" Dong Lizheng? That beast!
He completely forgot that he was not much better.
Yue Lingyin lowered her head to avoid his words: "Don't ask, I really don't know whose child it is."
Wei Jinzhi found it hard to accept, but what happened last time was forced by him, not her wish. He was not even the third party, so what right did he have to blame her?
He stared straight at her beautiful face with a hint of sadness. Her beautiful eyes were like two gems shrouded in mist, losing their original brilliance.
She shouldn't be like this.
Wei Jinzhi felt a pain in his heart, as if thousands of tiny needles were piercing his heart at the same time, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
"No matter whose child it is, I stand behind you. If you marry me, I can treat the child as my own."
Seeing the distrust in Yue Lingyin's eyes, he continued, "My family has been a single-line family for four generations, and we have very few descendants. I wish I had more children."
"But……"
"No buts." Wei Jinzhi held her hand, feeling the softness and delicacy in his hand, and his heart trembled slightly. "I was sorry for what happened last time. Worrying too much during pregnancy is not good for you or the baby. Whether the child is mine or not, you can give it to me to raise."
Yue Lingyin hesitated: "Let me think about it carefully."
There was a knock on the door, and Yue Lingyin was startled: "Hide first, I'll go see who it is."
Wei Jinzhi looked around the room and found no other place to hide except under the bed.
It is somewhat embarrassing for a general to hide under the bed, especially in front of the woman he likes.
He doesn't want to go.
"I am the dignified General Fuguo. How can I act like a thief? I won't hide." He completely forgot that he climbed in through the window.
Yue Lingyin glared: "You want to piss me off, don't you?"
"No, no." Wei Jinzhi quickly stood up: "I'll hide it, I'll hide it. Don't be angry if you're pregnant."
He rolled under the bed nimbly, not forgetting to give Yue Lingyin a flattering smile.
Yue Lingyin kicked the corner of his clothes in and opened the door.
Shen Qingchen was dancing in white, holding something in his hand, looking at her with a smile in his eyes.
"Chen Qing, why are you here?" Yue Lingyin was surprised.
Wei Jinzhi hid under the bed and kept looking up. Due to his limited vision, he could only see the white shoes with cloud patterns and half of the white hem of the dress.
Shen Qingchen said gently: “I know you are here, and you don’t let anyone get close during the day. I want to see you, so I can only come here secretly at night and bring your favorite cakes.”
He carefully opened the oil paper, and inside were the pastries that Yue Lingyin had secretly eaten in the study.
When Wei Jinzhi heard the familiar voice, he almost jumped out and cursed, what Chen Qing, it was clearly Shen Qingchen!
He asked why Shen Qingchen agreed to help him so easily, and it turned out that this was his plan.
The most hateful thing is that he was the one who took the blame and was looked down upon by Dong Lizheng in the court, but afterwards he wanted to reap the benefits.
Wei Jinzhi wanted to fight Shen Qingchen for three hundred rounds, but he held back.
He wanted to see what else he didn't know.
Yue Lingyin thought of the stupid thing she had done, her beautiful face flushed slightly, and she turned around and took out the Sui Hou Pearl from the drawer of the dressing table: "This is for you. I thought about it carefully. If Prime Minister Shen finds out that the Sui Hou Pearl is missing, he will definitely blame you."
Wei Jinzhi was stunned. What was Shen Xiang blaming? Shen Qingchen was so cunning that he actually used a fake identity to deceive Yue Lingyin. Yue Lingyin still didn't know Shen Qingchen's true identity.
Moreover, he knew that the Sui Hou Pearl was passed down from Shen Qingchen's ancestors. It was said that the Shen family only had three of them, and the other two were missing. Only Shen Qingchen had one in his hand.
Wei Jinzhi gnashed his teeth, actually using Suihouzhu as a raft, Shen Qingchen was really despicable.
Shen Qingchen didn’t know that someone was scolding him under the bed, and shook his head: “Prime Minister Chen won’t blame me, this is a gift for you, you keep it.”
Yue Lingyin couldn't stop smiling. She heard that the Suihou Pearl was a pearl left behind by the prince Suihou hundreds of years ago. It was very rare and very expensive, and could be sold for at least hundreds of thousands of silver coins.
She blurted out: "Thank you, with this bead, I will have money to raise my children in the future."
Shen Qingchen's hand trembled, and the cake almost fell to the ground: "Are you pregnant?"
