That was the fact that Tuoba Ling was infertile. Only a few months after Tuoba Ling ascended the throne, someone suggested that he adopt a child from his clan as the prince.
Although the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince did not dare to say it out loud, they were secretly trying their best to send their children to the palace. They even used roundabout tactics and asked their princesses to bring their children to visit Qin Yanning.
Although Qin Yanning liked children, when she saw the two children less than one year old in the arms of the two princesses, she secretly said that they were really fighting hard.
The second prince and the fourth prince were truly ruthless. For the sake of power and status, they were willing to give up two such young children.
In contrast, the Fourth Prince's wife had obviously cried because the child in her arms was her own, while the Second Prince's wife had no extra expression on her face because the child in her arms was born to the Second Prince's concubine.
Qin Yanning knew the principle of not hitting someone who smiled at her. Since the two princesses had taken the initiative to visit her, she naturally had to entertain them well. But as soon as they talked about children, Yuzhu and Yutang would come up in time to add more tea, or bring one or two plates of snacks.
Qin Yanning knew that this was all arranged by Lin Yue. She suppressed the smile in her heart and took a sip of the tea in the cup.
She had already made plans regarding the child, so it was naturally not someone else's turn to worry about her now.
Qin Yanning subconsciously touched her belly. Although she couldn't make a diagnosis at the moment, she knew that there were several little lives growing quietly in her belly.
The previous dynasty had always been dissatisfied with Tuoba Ling's decision to appoint her as the Queen Consort, so Qin Yanning had been delaying taking the abortion pill until recent days.
Neither she nor Tuoba Ling was afraid of rumors, but they did not want their child to be accused by others from the moment he was born.
The two princesses were not foolish people. When they saw Qin Yanning's maid, they changed the subject several times. They also understood that the young princess Tuoba Ling was not anxious about having a child.
It was not convenient for the two of them to stay in the palace all the time, so after lunch they found an excuse to leave the palace.
After seeing that both of them had left, Lin Yue sat down next to Qin Yanning with a worried look on her face. It was during this period that she learned about Tuoba Ling's secret, which was not really a secret.
Although she was very satisfied with the Khan's son-in-law, she also hoped that her daughter could have a child of her own. Lin Yue hesitated for a long time before she whispered, "How about I go outside the palace and find a way to cure this problem for you?"
Qin Yanning laughed when she heard this, but it was difficult to explain to Lin Yue that Tuoba Ling's lack of interest in other women was a psychological problem. She could only pat Lin Yue's hand and comfort her, "Mom, don't worry. Maybe I'll have good news in a few months."
"Please wait a moment. The Khan and I are on good terms. Don't believe the nonsense those old men from the previous dynasty say."
Lin Yue just thought that Qin Yanning was comforting her. She never imagined that Qin Yanning was already pregnant with several little puppies.
Seeing Qin Yanning say this, Lin Yue didn't want to keep persuading him, so she just nodded and said nothing more.
She is already satisfied with the life that she and her daughter have now. How many things in this world can be perfect?
January soon arrived, and a heavy snow fell in the desert capital. The snow piled up layer upon layer on the ground, and the charcoal in the bedroom had to be added a lot to keep it warm. The desert's Spring Festival was not in winter, and without the red lanterns, the winter snow seemed a little lonely.
Qin Yanning looked at the snow outside through the window. It was all white outside. People walked on the snow, and the footprints disappeared in a short while.
Because of the heavy snow, the court was closed for three days, and Tuoba Ling also gave a holiday to the craftsmen who made muskets. It was a rare opportunity for the two of them to stick together for a whole day, and Tuoba Ling's mood improved a lot.
Qin Yanning sighed as he looked at the heavy snow outside. The original owner of his previous life died on such a snowy day. Now the times have changed. On the same snowy day, the things that happened have changed a lot.
Tuoba Ling didn't know what Qin Yanning was thinking. He just stood behind her and hugged her silently. Feeling the warmth coming from the man behind her, Qin Yanning couldn't help laughing.
Who could believe that this Shura, who killed everyone and everything in his path on the battlefield, could be so gentle in front of her.
Qin Yanning turned and looked at Yuzhu, "Have you sent people to deliver the charcoal to other palaces? Even in the rooms where the palace servants rest, charcoal still needs to be burned at night. Don't neglect it."
Qin Yanning knew that at this time in his previous life, Tuoba Xiao died suddenly overnight, and the palace was unable to distribute charcoal to the palace maids, and many of them froze to death.
Although human life is worthless these days, she would not watch someone die if she could save them.
Yuzhu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Queen, everything has been arranged."
"What about Lina? Did you send the charcoal there?" Qin Yanning continued to ask.
Qin Yanning hadn't seen Lina for more than two months since her last inexplicable visit. Although she was a little domineering that day, Qin Yanning didn't take it to heart. She also didn't want the people under her to target Lina because of the little friction that day.
To her, Lina was like a child who didn't understand much.
"How dare we, the servants? The charcoal fire from Concubine Lina's palace has already been delivered."
Qin Yanning nodded with satisfaction.
Tuoba Ling didn't expect Qin Yanning to care about Lina. He reached out and touched Qin Yanning's hair. He knew that Qin Yanning did this only because Lina had helped her in the past.
Qin Yanning looked at Tuoba Ling and said with a smile, "The Dazhang team hasn't arrived yet? I wonder what they are doing right now."
