Chapter 290 The Prince's Plan, Pressure from the Emperor

Under these charming and powerful eyes, Shen Chuwei felt oppressed.

As the saying goes, one cannot bend in spite of might, but it is understandable that one may bend occasionally.

"Your Highness is right."

Xiao Jinyan showed a satisfied look, "Then you should cooperate with me and work hard together, ok?"

He is so handsome, who can compare to him?

"How can I cooperate?"

"I'll teach you." Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at the suspenders on her body, still feeling that it was inconvenient without a bellyband.

Xiao Jinyan thought about it for a day and made the worst-case scenario plan.

Without offspring, the road will have more obstacles and will be more difficult, but it will not be impossible to move forward.

If he needs an heir in the future, when Xiao Jinyu gets married, he can just let his eldest son be adopted by him.

This is the worst-case scenario. Although it will be difficult to implement, there is always a way to solve it as long as you persist.

In her entire life, Shen Chuwei had never imagined that she would face the embarrassment of having to give birth urgently.

Looking at a certain gentleman who was enjoying this, she seriously suspected that he was abusing his power for personal gain!

The second day, the third day...Xiao Jinyan would always come on time.

Shen Chuwei grabbed Xiao Jinyan's hand and said earnestly, "Your Highness, are we trying too hard?"

Xiao Jinyan undressed and asked slowly, "Are you pregnant?"

Shen Chu shook his head slightly.

Xiao Jinyan leaned over and pressed down, "Then keep working hard."

Shen Chuwei wanted to cry but had no tears.

The ancient times were really not a place for human beings to live in. How could people give birth to babies at such a young age?

Also, Xiao Jinyan is really not a human being~

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at the tearful person, "Xiaojiu, have I bullied you again?"

Shen Chuwei wiped away tears, "I know you're still bullying me?"

Xiao Jinyan lowered his head and kissed her eyes that were filled with tears: "I'll prepare crystal pork elbow for you tomorrow."

Shen Chuwei paused and asked, "Where can I find enough crystal elbows?"

Xiao Jinyan chuckled and said, "I'll buy you some tea and fruit."

Shen Chuwei burst into laughter and said, "That's more like it."

Xiao Jinyan used his slender fingers to wipe away the tears from her eyes, "You are so easy to please."

A word can awaken a person from his dream.

"I also think my requirements are too low." Shen Chuwei said in a tone that was not negotiable: "So let's add meat cakes, candied haws, rice cakes, and tea cakes in various flavors."

Xiao Jinyan suppressed his laughter and nodded, "Okay."

After Shen Chuwei's wish was fulfilled, she felt sleepy. She grabbed Xiao Jinyan's arm and said, "I'm sleepy."

"It will be there soon." Xiao Jinyan lowered his head and kissed her lips soothingly.

Shen Chuwei naively thought it was "immediately", but in fact, Xiao Jinyan's "immediately" actually meant "wait and wait"~

The next day, Dream Palace

"Princess, His Highness has been staying in the Hehuan Palace for the past two days."

Xueyan checked the rash on her face and found it had mostly healed. She was in a good mood and hadn't even had time to smile when she heard these words. Her expression changed immediately.

"Your Highness, don't you need to review the memorials?"

"He went to the Hehuan Palace after reviewing the memorials. It seems that His Highness is not busy these days." Shui Yao guessed.

Xue Yan said bitterly, "Shen Liang Di is clearly taking advantage of my discomfort and deliberately bullying Your Highness."

Shui Yao advised: "Princess, calm down. It is useless for Shen Liangdi to sleep with you a few more times. It is a real injury that she cannot have a child. She cannot threaten the princess."

Even so, thinking about how she had been dominating His Highness for several nights, Xue Yan was still furious, "How shameless."

Shui Yao said gently, "Princess, I see that your face is better now."

Even when Xueyan was angry, she would still look at her face carefully. She let Shuiyao look at her face.

Shui Yao looked at it carefully for a while and said, "The princess's face is much better than it was two days ago. It should be fully healed in two days."

"Apply some more ointment." Xue Yan couldn't hold back any longer. She couldn't let Shen Liangdi always dominate His Highness.

*

Shen Chuwei survived thanks to Chunxi's help. Thinking about what Xiao Jinyan had done in the past two days, she became more certain that he was abusing his power for personal gain.

She sighed and thought, who can bear the hard work every day?

Concubine Xu came in swinging a handkerchief. Before she saw Shen Chuwei, she asked, "Shen Liangdi, is it true that you have difficulty getting pregnant?"

Shen Chuwei lay on the bed, not wanting to move. She looked up at Xu Cefei and asked, "Did it spread so quickly?"

Concubine Xu sat down beside the bed. "This information is not confidential. Just use the money to get it."

Shen Chuwei didn't know about using money to buy information before, but now she knows, but she is not interested.

She said nonchalantly, "I know it if I know it."

Concubine Xu looked at Shen Chuwei worriedly. Seeing him so lazy, she subconsciously thought that she was hit and unhappy.

"Have you seen Doctor Yu? Can he treat it?"

"It's okay, just take care of yourself." She has been taking the tonic recipe, but only twice a month, mainly because it's too bitter and she doesn't like it.

"I think they are just spreading rumors and saying this on purpose so that Your Highness can benefit equally." Concubine Xu was indignant.

At this time, Yu's study

After Xiao Jinyan finished the morning court, the emperor summoned him to Yu's study.

In the huge study, the emperor was the only one sitting at the desk.

Xiao Jinyan took a few steps forward and greeted him, "Father."

"The Crown Prince is here." The emperor put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Xiao Jinyan who was sitting at the desk. "Thank you for your hard work during this period. You have reviewed many memorials for me and handled them in an orderly manner."

Xiao Jinyan lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. It is my honor to be able to share your worries and relieve your work."

The emperor said quietly, "I have seen everything the prince has done. The prince's ability should not be underestimated. He should be able to stand on his own."

Xiao Jinyan listened with an open mind.

The emperor asked again, "A few days ago, your mother mentioned the issue of offspring. Have you thought about it clearly?"

Xiao Jinyan said: "Father, I just want to relieve your worries and relieve your burden. Don't worry about the issue of heirs. I know my limits."

The emperor was shocked when he heard this: "As a crown prince, I have no children. People outside are talking about me. I'd better make plans early and don't give people any reason to talk."

Xiao Jin said: "I understand."

"Since Concubine Shen Liang has difficulty getting pregnant, then Concubine Xue, Concubine Xu, and Chang Liangyuan should all be given equal treatment. Don't let me down again." The emperor deliberately emphasized the last sentence to show that his patience was limited.

Xiao Jinyan knew that this was his father's final ultimatum. If there was no news in the next few days, he was afraid...

At night, Xiao Jinyan went straight to Hehuan and went out through the back door.

The back door was installed by deliberately connecting two walls. It is very hidden and cannot be found by ordinary people.

Today, Shen Chuwei, with her heavy body in slippers, taught Chunxi how to make a summer drink, but unfortunately she almost succeeded. She plans to try again tomorrow.

When Xiao Jinyan came in, he saw Shen Chuwei sitting on the bed with her legs crossed. When she saw him coming, she looked at him with a smile.

"Your Highness."

Xiao Jinyan came to the bed and sat down, looking at Shen Chuwei's belly, and his big hand reached out to touch her flat belly.

Shen Chuwei lowered her head and looked at Xiao Jinyan's actions. Xiao Jinyan had done this action several times. Whenever she felt uncomfortable in her stomach during menstruation, she would put her hands on it to warm her stomach.
