"What about Princess Lei? She has made it clear that she wants to be the Crown Princess..." Although An Qingran knew that Dongfang Jin would not marry her, she had a vague worry in her heart. If the marriage failed, it might be a better excuse. Dongze Kingdom won this time, but it did not mean it would win next time. If they colluded with other neighboring countries to fight together, or if the rebels in the court colluded with them, she did not want to think about those possibilities.
"I won't marry her." Dongfang Jin couldn't think of any good ideas. Who should he let marry this troublesome person?
The image of Lian Muchan flashed through his mind, and he shook his head again. He didn't want to hurt him.
"Where is Dongfang Ruoxue? Father wants her to marry a foreign prince..." An Qingran was really worried.
She herself couldn't tell Emperor Yunqi about this matter. In the previous life, when they got married, because Dongfang Jin was dead, Emperor Yunqi didn't trust the Shouwang family, so he sent Dongfang Ruoxue away.
In this life, did he also doubt Prince Shou?
After An Qingran thought of this possibility, she dared not to arbitrarily influence the emperor's will.
She was afraid that her actions might lead to serious consequences, and her rebirth would lose its meaning.
Dongfang Jin also sighed upon hearing this, but then raised his eyebrows: "Qingqing, don't worry about this matter. I'm here, you just need to rest assured and take care of the baby. From today on, you will be responsible for eating and sleeping. As for other things, I will talk to my father and let other concubines do it..."
"It's not that exaggerated. I'm fine now. I can't let people criticize me. That's one thing. Another thing is that I can exercise more. It's good for my body... Believe me, I studied medicine, I know this stuff."
"I know you understand, but I just feel uneasy. It would be great if I were not the prince. I really envy that guy Dongfang Run." At this moment, Dongfang Jin was only thinking about his wife and children, and didn't even care about the country.
An Qingran was secretly delighted, but then she said seriously: "I will be careful, the prince should still focus on state affairs..."
"What's wrong? I've never seen you give instructions on state affairs before."
"I feel that if the country is not stable, we will be even more unstable. I don't want my child to be born into a turbulent world. It would be best if everything is resolved." An Qingran looked out the window. Spring was approaching and the scent of spring could be smelled in the air. At this moment, she thought of Murong Lanxin. Standing in the spring light, she was like a spring onion, celebrating her birthday. In the blink of an eye, a year had passed, and a year had passed, and she still had not found any clues about the empress dowager.
Dongfang Jin didn't say anything else, but just hugged the woman tightly in his arms. No matter what happened in the future, he knew that she would always stand by his side, and that was enough.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Ren Dong came in with a few visiting cards: "The Crown Princess, the Grand Tutor's wife, the Shou Wang Consort, and Madam Lou want to see you."
An Qingran immediately perked up to meet him.
It was quite lively when these ladies came in.
“Congratulations.”
"Yeah, no wonder you looked a lot fatter. It turns out you were hiding such a good thing from us."
"Actually, she didn't hide it from us. We were just happy for her. She wanted to hide it from the prince. Now that the prince is back in the court, she gave him a surprise." After all, it was Madam Lou who spoke to her.
An Qingran sat there with a smile: "Thank you ladies for coming to see me, I feel uneasy."
"How is it? Are you still vomiting now?"
"Yes, I vomited for six months. In the end, I was so thin that I was unrecognizable."
"Don't mention your time. The Crown Princess herself is an excellent doctor. She will treat any discomfort herself."
These women were talking at once, and An Qingran just sat there with a faint smile, listening to them talk lively, and then interjecting a few words. After the women talked about the issue of children for a while, the face of the Grand Tutor's wife suddenly became serious. She looked at the other two and said, "Everything is so good, but the princess of Lei Thailand has to be the prince's concubine. This is really uncomfortable."
"Yes, Qingran, if the prince really marries the princess, let me tell you, you should relax. After all, you are the crown princess, and she will marry you to serve you, don't you think?"
Marry me?
An Qingran didn't like to hear it.
Did these women think it wasn't lively enough and add another twist?
Mrs. Lou didn't say that. She just comforted An Qingran and told her to take good care of her health.
"Yes, but I didn't expect Princess Lei to be able to choose someone. She chose the crown prince. How could anyone else compare to the crown prince? The crown prince is a man of both civil and military talents. Now I'm afraid that all the ministers with daughters are eager for the crown prince to ascend the throne so that they can enrich the harem..." When the wife of the Grand Tutor said this, she felt that she had said too much and couldn't help but smile awkwardly, "Don't blame me for talking too much. In fact, you are the future queen. It doesn't matter if the crown prince has many women. All the queens in ancient and modern times have been like this. The crown princess is even smarter and more open-minded. She will definitely be able to think it through."
An Qingran nodded: "Madam, what you said makes sense, but the Grand Master dotes on you too much and has only married you so far, so you don't have such worries, right?"
The wife of the Grand Tutor changed her expression. After a pause, she smiled and said, "Yes, I have also told the Grand Tutor about taking a concubine, but he is busy with state affairs and his heart is not here. He is not as responsible as the Crown Prince for the country."
An Qingran smiled secretly in her heart. What right did she have to say that she was open-minded and it was none of her business? Of course, what she said was nice to hear, but she also knew that these people were trying to comfort her. The matter of Princess Lei was already known to the whole court, and they also knew that marriage was a big deal. Therefore, these "good intentions" made her very uncomfortable. She was not annoyed, but she was also very uncomfortable listening to them.
Fortunately, they also knew her physical condition and left quickly.
Madam Lou held her hand and sighed, "You and Wanyue are good friends, and you are both pregnant now, but she is in a bad mood, so you need to persuade her more. Although she treats Princess Ruoxue as her own sister, compared with family affairs and state affairs, state affairs are the most important after all..."
An Qingran knew that Lou Wanyue was worried about Dongfang Ruoxue, and she was also worried about Lou Wanyue's health, so she naturally agreed.
The next day, Shen Zhiyun came.
She brought homemade cakes and some new jewelry: "Crown Princess, take a look at the new designs of Zhenbaozhai this year. I heard that the palace is thrifty and didn't give out jewelry during the New Year. I specially picked the newest ones and made them for you..."
As she spoke, she spread out the phoenix hairpin made of pure gold inlaid with rubies and emeralds, which was magnificent and eye-catching, and the jade ruyi, which was made of white jade with a very thin handle. She held the ruyi and said, "This is for the future prince, take it and play with it..."
"How can you be the prince?" An Qingran smiled, "This thing of yours is too valuable. By the way, how is your body? Are you tired? I just want to sleep all day long."
For two pregnant women, the only thing they can talk about is their belly.
Shen Zhiyun held his lower back and said, "I was born to work hard, so I don't feel anything, except that my waist hurts occasionally..."
"By the way, how is your brother now? I heard that he was promoted two levels higher."
"I don't care much about his affairs. My brother is very busy now, and I haven't seen him for a while." Shen Zhiyun seemed unwilling to talk about this topic, so he continued, "Crown Princess, I don't know what's wrong with this Lin'er. He has been crying a lot recently. Now he is being taken care of by the concubine. She is really tired."
An Ranyue, I haven't seen her for a long time. An Qingran felt a little relieved in his heart. This woman has not been happy until now. As long as she doesn't plot against him, he doesn't need to take her seriously. But what should he do with the woman in front of him?
"Is Prince Kang busy lately? He must be always by the side of his two pregnant wives." An Qingran told the truth. Because Dongfang Jin had always been suspicious about the assassination, she turned her attention from Prince Ning to Prince Kang. Although there was no evidence, she always felt that he could not be so quiet. How dark his heart was, others might not know, but how could she not know?
"He... you can't see him all day long. Look at how nice the prince is. He's always by your side. You're so envious. By the way, I heard that Princess Lei wants to marry the prince. I wonder if he will marry her. Didn't he say he would not marry other women? Princess Lei is so annoying. She comes to disturb other people's happy life. Princess, if I were you, I would definitely not agree."
Her words seemed to treat her as her own. An Qingran smiled and said, "I don't want to care about this matter. As for how the prince handles it, it's his business. I just need to take care of my own body."
"For us women, our job is to take care of our husbands and children... If we can give birth to children, raise them, and accompany them as they grow up, that is accumulating virtue. I am not like An Yanran, who does many evil things. Now I have made up my mind. I want to accumulate blessings for my children. Two days ago, I asked someone to plant a field of blessings in the temple. I heard that the Bodhisattva in Yuehua Temple is very powerful. I also asked for a peace talisman for the Crown Princess..." As he spoke, he took out a yellow paper package from his arms. It looked very precious. "Crown Princess, you don't have to hang this talisman on your body. Just put it in the room."
Honeysuckle put it away for An Qingran.
After Shen Zhiyun left, Ren Dong quietly asked, "Crown Princess, where is the talisman? Do you want me to go and burn it? And the gifts that the Grand Master's wife and the others gave yesterday are still in the wing room. What should we do with them?"
"Put them all in the warehouse. This talisman..." An Qingran thought for a moment. She didn't dare to risk smelling it. However, since it was taken out of her arms, it obviously shouldn't be poisonous. So she said, "Put it in the corner of the outer room and hang it there."
In this life, Shen Zhiyun and I are using each other.
I don't feel any guilt towards her.
"Crown Princess, the Crown Prince's Consort just sent a message saying that she is not feeling well and will not come to visit you. Please take good care of yourself."
"Did she give any presents?"
"No, just this one sentence."
An Qingran thought about it and understood that Lou Wanyue had the same idea as herself. She was afraid that the things had been tampered with. Moreover, the friendship between the two had nothing to do with the gifts.
