"Master..." Qing'er looked alert.
After a pause, Xia Tong said softly, "Please ask her to come in."
She still had to eat breakfast. Ever since she became pregnant, her meals had been extra light. Even the room was covered with carpets, as if they were afraid she would fall. When Fang Yu came in with her people, Xia Tong still stood up and half-bowled.
"Since the princess is pregnant, why should she care about these customs?"
Princess Changyang hurried forward to help her up. Her eyes inadvertently swept across the elegantly decorated room. She felt a little strange. It was better to see it with one's own eyes than to hear rumors.
"Etiquette cannot be abolished." Xia Tong smiled and slowly sat down, glancing at the other person casually, "The princess is well-informed, and not many people know about this matter."
The woman opposite was wearing a lavender palace dress, and had already taken off her fox fur coat and handed it to the palace maid. Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on her gentle and beautiful face, "There are no secrets in this world, especially for such a happy event."
The room was silent. Fang Yu and the others tactfully retreated. When there were only two people left in the room, it fell into dead silence again. Even the sound of breathing was so clear.
After drinking a mouthful of porridge, Xia Tong looked at the snacks in front of her and said lightly, "Whether it is a good thing or a happy event, it can't be hidden from Her Royal Highness the Princess."
After that, she casually said, "Speaking of which, the princess and the prince are destined to be together. If it weren't for the death of Concubine Liu, the princess would have married the prince long ago and wouldn't have wasted time until now."
She felt that as a princess she should have her own ideas and considerations. The relationship between Gu Qin and the royal family was in dire straits, and sooner or later one of them would fall. What good would Princess Changyang gain from marrying him? But Xia Tong saw that she was not unwilling. But Gu Qin had such a bad reputation, how could anyone like him?
Princess Changyang chuckled and said nothing. Instead, she stood up and walked to the window. Looking at the falling snow outside, a hint of bitterness appeared in her eyes. Some things were not something she could control.
"The same is true for the princess. If it weren't for that accident, I should be calling you sister-in-law right now." She said in a light voice.
Xia Tong put down the spoon, raised her head and looked at the person in front of the window. "There are so many unexpected things in this world, who can predict them all? It is most important to cherish the present. If you take the wrong path, there will be no turning back."
As a princess, marrying anyone would bring her a lifetime of honor and favor. Xia Tong really didn't understand what the other person was thinking.
"What if it was wrong from the beginning?" Princess Changyang suddenly turned around and looked at the beautiful woman intently, her voice hoarse, "What you can give to the prince, I can give to him too. Whatever the prince wants, I can give him, no matter what it is."
When their eyes met, Xia Tong was surprised. She didn't expect that the other party would betray her royal family for Gu Qin. She was a princess.
"All I want is to be with the prince forever, do you understand?" She approached slowly, her brows full of determination.
No one can stop it.
The room fell into silence again. Xia Tong didn't say anything. At this point, she had nothing to say. The other party came just to tell her that she must marry into the palace. A woman's ambition is unlimited, and after marrying into the palace, she will definitely want more.
"Princess, you are joking. You will marry into the palace soon, so you can stay with the prince forever." She said calmly.
Princess Changyang didn't say anything. She just stared at her steadily. After a while, she slowly curled her lips and said in a gentle voice, "It's getting late. Princess, take good care of your pregnancy."
After saying that, she opened the door. A gust of cold wind blew in her face. The palace maid immediately covered her with a fox fur coat. Looking at the falling snow, she suddenly remembered what her mother said, that some things were beyond her control.
After everyone left, Fang Yu immediately walked into the house, only to find her master enjoying breakfast calmly. She had no idea what Princess Changyang had just said.
"The princess came to the palace not just to chat with you. I heard that she went to the study to look for the prince. I don't know if the prince saw her."
Even though she had no appetite, Xia Tong still forced herself to drink a few more mouthfuls of porridge. While waving her hand to ask her to take it away, she took a green plum from the cupboard and put it in her mouth. The sourness made her frown.
"The prince's affairs will be handled by the prince. If you have nothing to do on weekdays, you should accompany mother more often, so that she won't always make me drink all kinds of soups. I am not tired of it, but the baby in my belly is tired of it."
Hearing this, Fang Yu chuckled, and Xia Tong took her notebook and left the room. According to the time, her mother would bring the soup in a while, so she could only stay at Gu Qin's place to avoid the limelight.
Xifeng was still waiting outside her yard regardless of rain or shine. When he saw her come out, he followed her relentlessly. Xia Tong glanced at Fangyu who was holding an umbrella for her. This Xifeng was a reliable person. She would have to ask Fangyu what she thought some other day. After all, they were not young anymore.
"By the way, you have followed the prince for so long, do you know what happened between him and Princess Changyang?" Xia Tong suddenly turned around and glanced at Xifeng behind him.
After saying that, the latter frowned and thought for a moment, then followed behind her slowly, stepping on the light snow, and shook his head slightly, "The prince and Princess Changyang have only met once. At that time, an assassin wanted to assassinate the prince, but was killed by his subordinates. Princess Changyang saw this scene, and the prince ignored her. He has never seen her again since then."
Hearing this, Xia Tong couldn't help but lower her head and ponder for a while. A woman's mind is always changeable, and no one knows what Princess Changyang is thinking. However, if she insists on marrying into the palace, Gu Qin is so fierce that he will definitely not let her go.
Arriving at the study, she quickly brushed off the snow on her body and walked in. The charcoal fire was still burning inside, making it exceptionally warm, but there was no one in the room.
If Gu Qin went out, Xifeng would definitely not be unaware of it, but the study is so small, where would he go?
Not knowing what she was thinking of, she suddenly came to the bookshelf and pushed it hard, but it didn't move at all. Frowning, she began to touch each book, thinking that it should be there.
But at this moment, the bookshelf suddenly moved slowly to the side, which scared her. Gu Qin suddenly walked out from inside with a small wooden box in his hand. Seeing her sneaking around outside, his eyebrows twitched slightly.
"What do you want to do, you little spy?"
The bookshelf suddenly closed slowly again. Xia Tong glanced at the passage behind and couldn't help curling her lips. "You only know how to wrongly accuse people. I just wanted to see if you were in there."
Reaching out his arm around her waist, Gu Qin casually placed the box on the table and patted her head, "I think you want to steal something."
"How do you know how to wrongly accuse people?"
Xia Tong immediately puffed up her face and glared at the man with dissatisfaction. Apart from rescuing the heroine once, when had she ever betrayed him?
Maybe because she had gained some weight in the past few days, her little face became rounder. Gu Qin pinched it twice, and her eyes became more profound.
"I have to go out tomorrow, so don't wander around the house." He said in a low voice.
As soon as she saw his expression, Xia Tong knew what he was going to do again. She looked at him and whispered, "Is there any danger?"
Since she became pregnant, she has become more emotional. She is afraid that something might happen to Gu Qin. Even though he is sometimes very mean, Xia Tong finds that she seems to have gotten used to his presence, even though he is always so fierce.
Facing the pair of clear eyes in front of him, there was finally a hint of worry in them. Gu Qin's eyes darkened, and he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her forehead, his voice dark, "This king wants to give you the best."
