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.
"Tomorrow, go to the Shou Palace for me and tell the Crown Princess to relax and that I am fine. Tell her to take care of herself."
"What gift should I bring?"
"You don't need to bring anything, just go and see her by yourself. Also, send some medicine to Princess Ruoxue. I prepared it myself. You are not allowed to let anyone handle these things, not even close to them, to avoid any trouble. Also, tell her that the prince is back, and the prince and I are trying to find a solution. That thing may not come true, so tell her not to panic."
Lian Jinyu brought An Mingchen into the palace again.
She has lost a lot of weight recently, but she looks very good.
An Qingran looked at her mother and said, "Mom, is father in good health?"
"Your father's health has recovered a long time ago. Now the general's mansion is very peaceful, and no one is causing trouble. Your grandmother is also very quiet. She never leaves the yard all day long, as if she sincerely believes in Buddhism. It's good this way. As long as she doesn't cause trouble, your father and I will always provide her with good food and drink for a hundred years. In fact, sometimes when I think about it, whether we are close or distant, as long as we keep our hearts right and sow good seeds, we will reap good results. If she hadn't harmed me and your father like that, her later years would not have been so miserable. As for this person, there are some things that cannot be said. In my opinion, fate is determined by heaven, and too much fighting will lead to loss..."
An Qingran felt that these words were directed at the Queen Mother, but unfortunately she couldn't hear it.
An Mingchen was a little depressed. An Qingran touched his forehead and found it was a little hot. He was shocked and said, "Mother, my brother is sick. When did this happen?"
After examination, it was found that she had caught a cold. An Qingran wrote a prescription and asked Rendong to go to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine, and then come back to boil it. An Qingran was so distressed. Children can read adults' faces best. When An Mingchen saw that his sister valued him so much, he became even more depressed and leaned on her, not moving.
Lian Jinyu was afraid that he would infect his daughter, so she advised him: "Mingchen, let mother hold you."
"No..." The voice was not loud, but the answer came quickly.
"Mother, I'm not afraid. I've been feeling very strong lately. I'm always hot, and I don't want to cover myself with a blanket during these bouts of heat."
Hearing this, Lian Jinyu's eyes lit up: "This is the same as when I was pregnant with Mingchen. This baby should be a boy... Now it's good, let's see who can say that our Qingran is both literary and martial, and her belly is also doing well."
Looking at her mother's proud eyes, An Qingran smiled embarrassedly: "Mom, please don't say this in front of others, it will make people laugh."
"Who dares?"
"Okay, mother, are the four concubines at home worry-free?" An Qingran was wondering why their bellies had not moved. Could it be that all these years, her father had only treated them as decoration? That was too sad. After the prince left, she knew how uncomfortable it felt to stay in an empty room, so she couldn't help but say, "If father doesn't like them, he might as well let them go early while they are still young."
"They were given by the Emperor, how dare I let them go." Lian Jinyu sighed, "Fortunately, they can help me share some housework recently, but they are not easy to deal with. If I don't keep an eye on them all day long, I don't know what will happen. You also knew when you were at home that Lian Jinrong was the most troublesome. Now that she is gone, these four are on the surface... Look, why am I telling you all this? We finally meet, we should talk about something happy."
"Mother, they don't dare to do anything. They are just making some small moves. Mother, please protect my brother. What I am most worried about now is my brother's safety."
In her previous life, there was no Mingchen. In this life, this jade-like little man in her arms has made up for all her pain. She can't let him suffer any loss.
"Why? What did you hear?"
"If I had heard anything, I would have taken action long ago, knowing that mother is kind and lenient..."
When this topic was brought up, Lian Jinyu looked at An Qingran with envy: "Qingran, I'm jealous of you for meeting the prince. Fortunately, when the marriage was arranged, my parents didn't object, otherwise I would have missed the best man in the world. I'm relieved that he can treat you so well. As for the princess, don't take it to heart. Even if the prince marries her for the sake of the country, he won't treat her like you. I'm always a concubine, just like a servant. Just figure it out, don't you understand?"
An Qingran felt a pang in her heart. It seemed that her mother came to persuade her.
Of course she got the message too.
"I understand." She didn't want to say more.
She also didn't know whether the prince would marry that woman in the end. Now that she thought about it, being in that position, there were really many frustrations that could not be solved by one person's persistence.
An Mingchen left.
An Qingran was worried about his health, so she sent someone to check on him the next day, but he had already recovered.
It seems that my younger brother is quite strong.
However, she soon discovered that she was infected. She had a cold nose and sore throat, and she didn't dare to take some medicine. She could only drink hot water in big gulps, hoping to get better quickly.
But a day later, she fell ill again.
I lay in bed feeling drowsy and just wanted to sleep.
Dongfang Jin was very worried and asked the imperial doctors to keep watch. An Qingran did not allow him to make such a loud noise and forced him to release the frightened imperial doctors.
But he stayed by her bedside and didn't sleep all night.
Rumors began to spread in the palace.
It was said that the Crown Princess had offended some god and was beginning to receive retribution.
What a retribution for her!
She struggled to walk out of the palace. The air outside was cool and fresh. She breathed in and felt much better.
Two days later, he was completely healed.
It was as if this illness had opened up some blood vessels. Her appetite had increased and she was always hungry. She ate six or seven times a day, but was still very hungry. Emperor Yunqi transferred the chef from the imperial kitchen to the East Palace, leading ten imperial chefs to wait together. As long as the Crown Princess cried out for hunger, it was an order and the meal must be delivered to her as soon as possible. Some dishes required time to cook, so the chefs often guessed the Crown Princess's taste and stewed them in advance. Pregnant women are like this, they eat whatever they think of. Sometimes, they don't know what they want to eat, but when they see others eating, they think about it.
The imperial chefs also had a solution. They would put the prepared dishes in front of her, and she would then feel hungry.
Very easy to serve.
Everyone in the palace was delighted by An Qingran's special treatment.
Murong Shu was cracking melon seeds in the Queen Mother's palace, saying, "Queen Mother, you say, this Crown Princess might be a phoenix. When Queen Yun was pregnant with the Crown Prince, she wasn't necessarily so arrogant. Could it be that she laid a phoenix egg?"
The Queen Mother glanced at her and said, "How can you say such things?"
Murong Shu was stunned for a moment. He had said even more excessive things than this in front of the Queen Mother before. Why didn't she like to hear it today? Could it be that she felt sorry for the Crown Princess again because she was pregnant with her great-grandson?
Seeing her stunned, the Queen Mother said, "Why are you saying these sarcastic words? If you can be reborn, I will send twenty people to serve you. How about that?"
"I……"
"You should also learn from Concubine Xian. When you have nothing to do, just worship Buddha and don't cause trouble. Otherwise, take good care of Lin'er. I heard that the poor child has always been in poor health. If something bad happens to him, it would be a waste of the emperor's heart to give him Yongxi."
"It's natural for a child not to cry. He probably cried because he didn't have his mother to take care of him. He must be very sad. This child is smart. When he saw me last time, he smiled happily. He even recognized me and was talking."
Concubine Shu was very proud of her grandson, so how could she tolerate any bad intentions from others?
The Queen Mother also felt that she had gone too far, so she said, "I didn't say that Lin'er was bad, but you are suspicious. Now that the Crown Princess is not feeling well, why don't you go to serve the Emperor and take her power away from her? I am an old woman, almost an ancient person, and I can't help you with anything."
Murong Shu felt that the Queen Mother was right, and after coming out of Feng Palace that day, he went straight to the imperial study with cakes in his hand.
Unexpectedly, Lei Thailand's envoy was there, so she had to wait outside. But the wind was particularly cold today. She stood in the wind and wrapped herself tightly in her sable fur coat, but she was still shivering. As a result, the cakes got cold, and she didn't see Emperor Yunqi. After returning, she fell ill. Was she too stupid or was God not helping her?
After Emperor Yunqi heard about this, he sent someone to comfort Concubine Shu, and she felt much better.
Dongfang Ye also came to the palace when he heard that his mother was ill.
An Qingran felt that she couldn't eat like this any longer. She was either starving or bloated all day long. In order to divert her attention, she asked Rendong to support her. Wearing the white mink fur coat given to her by Dongfang Jin, she walked casually. Rendong took a breath and said, "Crown Princess, please walk slowly. The ground is slippery. If the Crown Prince knows that we are here, I will be dead."
"How can you be dead? I brought you into the palace. How could he punish you?"
"Yes, the prince always listens to the princess, I know that." Honeysuckle said with a smile.
An Qingran glared at her in reproach: "You little girl, wait until you settle down, I will choose a good husband for you one day, and then see if he will listen to you."
Honeysuckle's face suddenly turned red: "Miss, here you go again, Honeysuckle will never marry and will never leave the Crown Princess."
"No, how can you not get married?" An Qingran smiled and hadn't finished her words when she turned around and saw two figures coming from the corner of the long street. They were men, one wearing white feather clothes, like a fairy in a painting, walking slowly towards them. It was Dongfang Ye!
An Qingran looked at his appearance that must have deceived countless women, and hated him in her heart. She wanted to tell herself to let it go, but when she saw him, all the past memories came to her mind, and she really couldn't forget it.
