Chapter 351 Qing Ning, you are pregnant again?
"Where do I get any concubines?"
Qin Jingyu glared at Su Ziyuan and said, "I'll fine you half a year's salary! However, since you've taken the initiative to correct your behavior, I'll change it to three months."
Su Ziyuan: "Yes."
Qin Jingyu walked out a few steps and then walked back.
"After you finished speaking, what was the Crown Princess's reaction?"
Su Ziyuan: "The Crown Princess said that these courtyards should be kept for concubines to live in in the future."
Qin Jingyu: "What's the expression on her face when she said these words?"
Su Ziyuan: "Very calm."
Qin Jingyu's heart kept sinking.
The reasons why Qing Ning was calm: One is that she might be pretending to be magnanimous, but in this way, she must be very sad inside.
Another reason might be that she thought he would take a concubine in the future.
Qing Ning didn't believe him.
Or rather, Qing Ning didn't believe in herself.
No matter which possibility it was, Qin Jingyu felt very distressed for Qing Ning.
When he walked to the dormitory in a daze, he remembered that Qingning had fallen asleep because she was too tired.
Banxia asked cautiously, "Your Highness, do you want to rest in the backyard?"
Qin Jingyu: "No, so as not to wake up Qing Ning, you guys serve her well."
Banxia: “Yes.”
**
Lin Qingning slept for a long time and felt a little dazed when she woke up.
I actually slept until noon the next day?
Banxia came in with warm water, "Master, do you want to wash up?"
Lin Qingning nodded. She felt something was wrong with her body. Even though she had given Shu He's child an injection yesterday, she shouldn't have been so tired.
She suddenly had an idea and took her own pulse.
Then……
Banxia saw her face change slightly, and hurriedly asked: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Qingning: "I'm fine. Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gone to court?"
Banxia: "The prince is in the palace today."
Lin Qingning was stunned. Today should not be the prince's day off. He didn't go to the palace today. Maybe something happened?
In addition, her physical condition is still uncertain because it has been so short.
After Lin Qingning got up and had her meal, her appetite was still the same as usual, which was different from the last time when Xiao Xiyao was with her.
Maybe the pulse is inaccurate.
She learned that the prince was in the study, probably attending to some government affairs, so she did not disturb him. Instead, she called Aunt Chen and said she wanted to continue sorting out the account books.
Aunt Chen came, but she didn't bring the account books.
She bowed to Lin Qingning.
"Crown Princess, the Crown Prince said that you should rest well during this period of time. You will be very tired before and after the enthronement ceremony."
Lin Qingning: "Then moving into the East Palace will involve a lot of chores."
Aunt Chen: "The prince instructed me, as well as Granny Liao and Lord Su."
"Whether it's the front yard or the back yard of the East Palace, the Crown Princess doesn't need to worry about it for now."
"Once we have sorted everything out, we will leave it to you to decide."
Lin Qingning has been busy as she prepares to enter the East Palace.
Because the general affairs of the Eastern Palace are definitely much more difficult to manage than when I was in the Duke Qin's Mansion.
There will be many more rules.
Maybe it was because I went to bed as soon as I came back last night and slept for such a long time, which made the prince worried?
Fortunately, whether it is Aunt Chen, Grandma Liao, or Su Ziyuan, they are all their confidants and trustworthy people.
Lin Qingning wanted to thank Jing Yu and reassure him that she was fine.
"Is the prince still in the study in the front yard?"
"The prince went to the backyard, to the young lady's room."
Lin Qingning nodded, took off her cloak, and went to her daughter's yard.
As soon as I approached, I heard the sound of silver bell-like laughter coming from inside.
A smile unconsciously appeared on the corners of Lin Qingning's mouth.
When I opened the curtain and went in, I saw the father and daughter playing.
Xiao Xiyao was holding half a peach in her hand and putting it into her father's mouth.
"eat."
The peaches were so juiced from the little girl's pinching that the flesh was a little rotten and looked horrible in shape.
But Qin Jingyu seemed to have eaten delicacies from land and sea. After swallowing it, he said in a very flattering way, "It's delicious!"
Xiyao was satisfied and clapped her hands with joy.
As a result, the juice on her hand sprayed all over her father's face.
If anyone else had done this, they would have been so scared that they would have fallen to their knees with their legs trembling.
But the instigator was still clapping his hands with joy, while Qin Jingyu's face was full of doting.
Lin Qingning couldn't bear to see the father and son getting dirtier than each other, so she quickly took out a handkerchief and walked over to wipe Qin Jingyu's face first.
"Prince, you are too indulgent to Xiyao."
After wiping a few drops of juice off the prince's face, Lin Qingning wiped her daughter's dirty little hands.
Because Qin Jingyu was here, the other wet nurses who took care of Xiyao were waiting nearby.
They didn't dare to come forward without the master's order.
Most of the servants in the Qin Mansion today were brought from Songtao Pavilion.
There were also some newcomers, such as the wet nurse and some young maids, who had all been educated in advance by Aunt Chen and the others.
Everyone is well-behaved and sensible, and will not have any inappropriate thoughts.
Qin Jingyu was in a good mood because Qing Ning wiped his face first.
"It's okay, it's just some juice. Besides, Xiyao is still young."
Xiyao is of course still young, and her first birthday will be in more than a month.
However, Lin Qingning suddenly remembered that something happened to the Lin family on little Mo Yu’s first birthday…
Seeing that she was distracted, Qin Jingyu asked the wet nurse to take care of Xiyao, and took her hand and sat on the low kang by the window.
"What's wrong? By the way, are you still sleepy today?"
"Since acupuncture is so tiring, don't do it in the future. Wei Shuhe is like a sister to you, so forget it, but other people are not worth your hard work."
Seeing the concern in Qin Jingyu's eyes, Lin Qingning thought about it and decided to express her doubts.
Lin Qingning: "Jingyu, if you just use needles, it won't make me so sleepy."
"I just felt my pulse and it was vaguely slippery, but it's not accurate yet. It may be too short a time. I need to wait for some time before I can be sure."
Qin Jingyu didn't understand, "So, what's wrong with you?"
"I'll ask Dr. Bai to come over right away!"
Seeing that he was really about to go out, Lin Qingning quickly stopped him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
She took his big hand and placed it on her flat belly.
"Maybe, but the pulse is not strong. I didn't want to tell you right away, but I was afraid you would worry about my health..."
Qin Jingyu's big hands trembled, and he asked excitedly: "Qing Ning, you are pregnant again?"
Lin Qingning smiled and said, "I'm not sure yet. The time is too short. Let's not tell anyone for now."
Qin Jingyu: "Yeah, I know, I know."
He put his face close to Lin Qingning's lower abdomen and wanted to listen to the child. Lin Qingning was really speechless this time, and she pushed his head.
"I've already told you that you're still young and unsure. If you get close now, you can only hear the sound of my internal organs."
Qin Jingyu: "Qing Ning, you are so nice."
He put his face in her arms and put his arm around her waist.
In fact, if it is true, then this child came at a very good time.
Qin Jingyu is about to move into the Eastern Palace, and Lin Qingning hopes to give him a son, so that she can shut up the Queen Mother and others.
She murmured, "It would be best if it were a son."
Qin Jingyu paused and raised his head, just in time Lin Qingning was looking down.
The two looked at each other.
Qin Jingyu sat up and reached out to touch her face. "Qing Ning, don't put too much pressure on yourself. I'll be happy if you have our child. It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl."
Lin Qingning: "But you are the crown prince of Great Chu."
Once he sits in that position, there are some things that Qin Jingyu can no longer decide on his own.
Indeed, Lin Qingning didn't want other women to share her man. As long as Qin Jingyu himself didn't want to take a concubine, she would stand by him.
But she still wanted to give him a son.
Qin Jingyu simply held the person in his arms.
It was still late in the day, and Lin Qingning's ears turned red and she struggled a little.
She looked around and found that all the servants had gone out, leaving only the couple in the room.
Qin Jingyu kissed her ear and said seriously:
"Qing Ning, do you still not believe that I will never take a concubine?"
Lin Qingning: "I believe you."
Qin Jingyu: "No, you believe that I won't take a concubine now, but you don't believe that I will never take a concubine."
"Qing Ning, I like you. It's not a spur-of-the-moment thing. It's the friendship that has developed from the many things we've experienced together."
"In fact, I have always been a person with little feelings. It may be because of my childhood experiences that I thought my father didn't love me and my stepmother didn't care about me either. I just wanted to fight on the battlefield."
"But later, I witnessed the massacre at a young age, which left a psychological trauma. Qing Ning, in fact, deep down, I have always been very inferior."
"Until I met you."
Qin Jingyu could roughly guess that the Queen Mother and others' repeated comments about Qing Ning's humble family background ultimately made her feel inferior inside.
Having experienced so many things since childhood, it is not easy for her to remain rational and neither humble nor arrogant.
Her experience destined her to not be like Jiamin and Chen Ya, who were pampered and spoiled by their families and could not act impulsively without considering the consequences.
Because they know that they have the support of their loving family.
But Qing Ning lost her family very early.
Therefore, she has no right to be arrogant because of her favor.
She has been cautious and careful at every step, and only by persisting in this way can she get to where she is today.
Qin Jingyu just figured out these things.
However, he didn't want to open Qing Ning's scars and mention those tragic things in the past again.
He simply revealed his scars to Qing Ning.
"Look, Qing Ning, you and I are actually the same. We both became less perfect people after experiencing some bad things."
"But what does that matter?"
"Fate has brought you and me together, and we now have the lovely Xiyao, and we're even going to have a lovely child soon."
"We are destined to be together."
And most importantly…
Qin Jingyu held Lin Qingning's face and said seriously: "Qingning, when you chose me, let alone the prince, I was not even a living person."
"But you chose me firmly."
"So, no matter what happens in the future, you just continue to be firm, okay?"
