After these words, the color of An Yanran's face changed several times. She didn't know when An Ranyue became so calm, and all her words made sense. It was she who was being unreasonable. But why did she feel that she was targeting her? But she couldn't say it now.
Her color changed from red to white and then to purple. In a moment, she wanted to rush forward and grab An Ranyue twice. Finally, she took a deep breath and said, "Sister, it turns out that I was ignorant and didn't know it was the prince's business. I am here to apologize."
She suppressed the anger in her heart and smiled stiffly.
"I won't mind. You care too much about your child, which is understandable. But don't be so reckless in the future, otherwise it will cause trouble for the prince. You should take a good rest. Madam Yun and I will go for a walk for a while. It's spring and we can sleep more. I will go back and take another nap later. By the way, Madam Yun, I heard that your brother was appointed as the Secretary of the Central Secretariat. I forgot to congratulate you."
Shen Zhiyun smiled when he heard this: "It's all thanks to the prince's care. Fortunately, my brother is smart and can help the prince. I just hope that my brother can be a good official and live up to the prince's trust."
"Well, come to think of it, I forgot to prepare a gift. Come with me back to the house to get it." An Ranyue said, flicking his sleeves, turning around, walking slowly without even glancing at An Yanran.
Bah, isn't he just a secretary? He is only a seventh-rank official, not much better than a county magistrate. What's there to brag about?
However, even though she thought so, she felt a little sad in her heart. She didn't know what was happening to An Mingxuan now. She was just the prince's concubine, and there was a crown princess in her family. Who would care about her?
Therefore, it is unlikely that her brother will come to her for protection.
But he is still young and doesn't have these calculations in his mind. He just knows how to have fun and can't be relied upon.
Thinking of this, she stroked her belly and sat down again. Now all she could count on was the baby in her belly. The doctor said it was a boy, and she hoped it was right.
She was in a daze, and didn't even want to think about An Ranyue's hurtful words just now.
*********************
Prince Ning's Mansion.
Qin Xiangning's figure did not change much. She was still wearing a standing water-patterned eight-treasure skirt. The watercolor color did not look like that of a principal wife, but it was the most beautiful scenery in spring. She stood on the steps of the palace and gave orders, "Taozhi, ask them to move the Clivia to the steps over there, and don't put flowers next to the peony, they are all outshined. Ask someone to move the osmanthus tree, its leaves are too big and it blocks the light in the room..."
She was in a particularly good mood today, because Dongfang Yan had been resting in her room for the past half month, and she had tried a few new tricks. Originally, she had no love for him, and her favorite in her heart was the prince. However, now, she felt that Dongfang Yan was somewhat cute, at least he followed his own way.
She was the one who drove Su Ji away, but he didn't even complain, as if she was just a piece of rag that could be thrown away at will. How could she be in a bad mood?
Qin Xiangning was very careful about her health. She asked the doctor and knew that the fetus would be stable after three months, so she resorted to this last resort. She didn't want anyone to take advantage of the opportunity to snatch Dongfang Yan away.
The weather was beautiful today and she was busy decorating the yard. This was her mansion and she was the queen.
Taozhi was very happy while busying herself.
Qin Xiangning held the arm of a little maid and walked down the stairs, saying, "The lotus in the pot has been planted. This year I want a new variety..."
At this point, she suddenly stopped, and froze there, with one foot on top of the other, her brows knitted together, as if she had seen a ghost. The little palace maid next to her turned pale with fear: "Princess, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Xiangning immediately covered her lower abdomen with her hands, and all the palace maids became nervous. Could it be that she was having a miscarriage?
But soon, Qin Xiangning smiled and said, "I'm fine. I just stretched it and got a stitch in the side. I'll go back to my room and lie down for a while. You guys continue to do what I said just now."
After she finished speaking, she slowly turned around, held the arms of the two palace maids, and moved up one step at a time. She quickly entered the room and immediately lay down on the bed. She had a smile on her face: "It's okay, you guys go and get busy. I'm fine now, I'm just a little tired."
After the palace maids left, Qin Xiangning's brows began to frown again. She slowly sat up, gently pressed her left hand on her stomach, and breathed slowly. After a while, her brows relaxed. It turned out that it was only painful for a while, and she felt much better now.
She was a little worried and wanted to call a doctor, but the pain was gone now and she was afraid of what people would say, so she didn't go.
Just stayed in bed, unusually quiet.
The concubines in the mansion were just as quiet now. They had been listening carefully to Qin Xiangning's movements and observing her expression when they paid their respects every day. Now that they saw that she was very happy, they breathed a sigh of relief. They no longer had any thoughts of fighting for power and only wanted to protect themselves.
Dongfang Yan didn't care about all this. After returning home, he rushed to Youmengxuan. He didn't know what surprise Qin Xiangning had prepared for him today. He didn't know where she got the dish from yesterday. It was all fried little things wrapped in osmanthus stamens. They were sweet and fragrant. He thought about it when he went to court today.
Entering the yard, it was unusually quiet. He hid his footsteps and walked in. He found Qin Xiangning lying on the bed, with a white arm hanging outside the quilt, looking like a white lotus root. He couldn't help but feel dry in his mouth. He gently lifted the quilt with hundreds of butterflies and flowers on her body. There was only a red bellyband on her chest, with white lotus with dewdrops, which was a rare good job. Dongfang Yan couldn't help but reach out to lift it. Qin Xiangning's eyelashes moved twice and opened her eyes, like a pool of water. Dongfang Yan couldn't wait any longer, and the whole person had already leaned over, and kissed her lips without paying attention to her eyebrows and eyes. Qin Xiangning originally frowned and wanted to push him away, but after hesitating for a moment, she smiled and greeted him, her arms wrapped around her like a snake. Dongfang Yan was very satisfied. He mumbled: "You are so beautiful today, and you smell so good."
It is her skin that smells good. Qin Xiangning bathes in the scent of flowers every day, so of course she smells good.
The curtains were drawn, and the red waves were rolling. In broad daylight, the palace maids could hear intermittent sounds of pain and itchiness coming from the room, which made people blush. They heard that the prince had returned, and wanted to test the waters. But when they saw that the door was closed during the day and the maids were all in the yard, they understood a little and retreated with different feelings.
