Emperor Yunqi found Dongfang Jin and told him the news.
After Dongfang Jin heard this, the expression on his face changed several times, and finally sneered: "What kind of pig is this? Why does she think she deserves the position of Crown Princess?"
Emperor Yunqi was calm and said, "Since she is here for marriage, I think she wants to marry the prince. Otherwise, what's the point? This is what they proposed."
As he spoke, he picked up the tea and took a sip, with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Dongfang Jinban frowned: "Father, I still mean the same thing. I will never marry anyone else except Qingran."
"But have you ever thought about this? The harem has always been closely connected with the previous dynasty. If one day you become the king, how will you make the powerful ministers loyal and how will you balance the delicate relationships in the court?"
The question he raised is exactly the political tactic that all emperors from ancient times to the present have used, using the harem to restrain the front dynasty. However, this is like playing with fire. Sometimes, the front dynasty colludes with the harem, and it is not uncommon for foreign relatives to be in power.
Dongfang Jin was thinking of more than just this. There was domineering and confidence in his eyes: "I hope I can be a wise monarch who does not need a harem to balance the relationship between the previous dynasty."
"Perhaps you think I'm not wise enough?" Emperor Yunqi put down the teacup, without showing any anger on his face. Instead, he looked at Dongfang Jin with sharp eyes, hoping that he could give him a satisfactory answer.
Dongfang Jin smiled slightly, his confidence soared, but it involved his father. He smiled and said, "Father, I made a mistake. What I meant was..."
Emperor Yunqi waved his hand: "Okay, although you said something inconsiderate, it's exactly the same as what I thought back then..."
Thinking back to the past, Emperor Yunqi naturally thought of Empress Yun. Back then, he only wanted her as his woman, but the empress dowager did not allow it. The ministers also advised him to give priority to the country and the royal family. He knew that as a king, his family affairs were no longer family affairs. This was indeed the case, because it was really difficult to distinguish between state affairs and family affairs.
"I really hope you have the ability to make those censors shut up, otherwise they will keep talking about this in front of you every day. However, the Lei Thai people will ask about it. They said that the Crown Princess has no children. Princess Lei Yuezhu is in good health and has practiced martial arts since she was a child. She can help our Heavenly Dynasty to have children soon..."
"My son will never let another woman give birth to my child."
"Well, since you insist on not wanting to marry Lei Yuezhu, then you can talk to her and arrange her marriage. If she is satisfied, I will never force you to marry anyone else..."
Emperor Yunqi now trusts his son very much. He also wants to gradually let go of the government affairs and train the prince to see if he has the ability to handle these things.
Dongfang Jin seemed to understand what his father meant when he heard this, and the expression on his face relaxed: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, your son."
Family dinner.
The empress dowager looked kind, and the emperor also smiled. All the concubines were dressed up. Concubine Shu was accompanying the emperor. That was originally the seat of the queen, but no one thought it was inappropriate at this moment because it was the seat arranged by the empress dowager. Dongfang Ye and An Ranyue also came. Xiao Lin'er was in a side hall, and he could be heard crying once or twice. He started crying again.
Dongfang Jin sat next to An Qingran with a faint smile on his face. The Queen Mother said, "Now that Jin'er has returned victoriously, it has brought glory to Dongze. This is really a cause for celebration. Why don't we all have a drink together as a family..."
Everyone raised their glasses. An Qingran's eyes moved. When the glass reached her lips, she suddenly put it down, turned around, and covered her mouth with her hand, looking like she was in pain. Seeing this, Dongfang Jin hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Emperor Yunqi also looked over with concern. When Concubine Shu saw this, she put down her cup and said, "What's wrong with the Crown Princess? Are you feeling unwell? This is something we must not take lightly. Your Majesty, why don't we find the imperial physician to check on her now? There were rumors in the palace some time ago. We can't let the past happen again now. This will also help to shut up those disdainful people."
She said it nicely, but in her heart she was thinking that maybe she was really sick, so why not take this opportunity to reveal her true face and then see if the emperor was still biased towards her.
Or, even if she didn't have an infectious disease, she couldn't have children. By then, the prince would marry another woman. He had said that he would not marry again. Then, their line would be without descendants. By then, wouldn't the kingdom of Dongze fall into Lin'er's hands? He was the eldest grandson.
Everyone was disturbed by An Qingran's condition.
The one who was most worried was of course Dongfang Jin. Emperor Yunqi also spoke up and immediately asked the imperial physician to come. At this moment, no one forgot that An Qingran was a doctor.
The imperial physician hurriedly took An Qingran's pulse, and they were under a lot of pressure when he did so.
However, this pulse is very easy to diagnose. After Imperial Physician Wang examined her, a look of doubt appeared in his eyes. He then gently placed his hand on her wrist, as if thinking about something. He then whispered something to the Imperial Physician next to him. The Imperial Physician also came forward to take her pulse. This made everyone at the table even more suspicious. Could it be that the Crown Princess was seriously ill?
The Queen Mother said, "Why don't you tell me? What is the disease?"
The two imperial doctors shook their robes, stepped forward with joy on their faces and knelt on the ground: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother, congratulations to the Emperor, congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess is pregnant, this is the pregnancy pulse..."
As soon as the words came out, Dongfang Jin was the first to jump up. His face was full of joy and he couldn't hide it: "How long has this been going on?"
"The fetus is less than four months old and is in a very stable condition." The imperial doctors were naturally not afraid to add icing on the cake for such a happy event.
"Okay, reward." Emperor Yunqi was stunned for a moment and then immediately laughed, "The crown prince has returned to the court, and a new member has been born. This is a double happiness."
Emperor Yunqi was rarely so happy.
Xian Fei and Shu Gui Fei looked at each other. The latter's face was already frighteningly pale, and after a while, it suddenly turned red. She obviously felt that she was being played a trick. Even the Empress Dowager, who had seen the world, was stunned by the news. She didn't say anything for a long time. An Qingran sat back in front of her seat and smiled: "I made everyone worried..."
The Queen Mother came to her senses: "Qingran should be a medical practitioner, but you didn't even know you were pregnant? You've made everyone worry, you..."
An Qingran smiled and said, "Qingran is pregnant, and I know it myself, but it's not three months yet, and I'm worried that the fetus might be unstable and make everyone else happy for nothing."
Emperor Yunqi secretly admired her in his heart. He thought, how could the Crown Princess not know this? She was really cunning. At such a young age, she was able to be so calculating and scheming. She could really help Jin'er. It seemed that having her alone in the future harem was enough.
Emperor Yunqi liked An Qingran's behavior more and more. Fortunately, she married the prince. If it were someone else, he would not think so. It is very likely that she would become a strong rival between him and the prince.
The Empress Dowager thought of Doctor Zhang. Perhaps what Doctor Zhang said at that time was true. She didn't know what she had done to make Doctor Zhang not tell the truth. The Empress Dowager now felt that it was a pity that Doctor Zhang's life was lost.
Did this little girl fool herself?
The unprecedented humiliation made the Queen Mother unable to laugh anymore. She pretended to be affectionate and said, "You, child, you are too bold. The prince is not at home, but you still have your father and me, the Queen Mother. You are carrying such a big thing by yourself. Obviously, you don't trust us.
"Queen Dowager, Qingran dare not. There is a war going on at the border and the prince is not in the palace. If there is really something wrong with the fetus, everyone will worry in vain. Now it is a double happiness. This child comes at the right time. I hope the Queen Dowager will not blame Qingran for being cautious."
"I'm just scared, how can I really blame you?" The empress dowager forced a smile, and An Qingran saw that smile at a glance. However, Emperor Yunqi was busy drinking, and Dongfang Jin seemed not to know An Qingran. He kept staring at her, stroking her back, holding her hand, and even taking a bite of food.
The other people also had smiles on their faces, but their smiles were too fake.
An Qingran knew that the announcement of this news at this time would not only be shocking, but also just in time to see what excuses those who claimed that they had no children would come up with.
They must be hoping so very much.
And he will most likely think of ways to deal with himself and his son.
So, after the announcement, she has more to do.
The task became even more difficult. She had to risk her life, even if she had to become a demon, to protect this child.
Return to the East Palace.
Dongfang Jin looked at An Qingran, his eyes full of reproach: "You even hid this from me? You haven't told me in the past few days since I came back. I... Will this hurt the child?"
"If so, would I not stop it?" An Qingran glared at him. "Besides, do you think I would not care about the child and think about the child? Would I do something to hurt the child?"
"Of course not, I'm just worried that I might hurt the child." Dongfang Jin said this with some excitement, "When you were at home, was he well behaved? Did he kick you..."
"It's not time yet, why are you in such a hurry..." An Qingran smiled, "In this case, will Princess Lei still want to give birth to a child for you? She is really great!"
Dongfang Jin didn't say anything, but looked at her strangely.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with me?"
"Qingqing, are you jealous?" Dongfang Jin was naturally delighted to see her like this again. Now that everything was going smoothly, he was naturally the most proud one.
This is the most enjoyable thing in life, right?
An Qingran blushed with embarrassment at her teasing, but she also felt that everything was perfect now. All they had to do was eliminate the enemies, and then their family would live in peace. Because she was pregnant, she was lazier than before and liked to live a quiet life and no longer wanted to fight.
She once begged her enemies to let her go, and she would let them go. She hoped that God would open his eyes.
Dongfang Jin saw her timid look, which added a rare bit of weakness, and couldn't help but sit next to her and hug her: "Qingqing, I will protect you."
