"...Princess?" Qingxue looked at Qian Shengyan, whose eyes were sparkling, and continued to comfort her, somewhat at a loss, "What this doctor said may not be accurate. He said it's best not to get pregnant within six months... Let's ask another imperial physician to take a look tomorrow."
"No need!" Qian Shengyan quickly suppressed her joy, lowered her eyes and said softly, "I know my own body... When I was born, there was no one to take care of me, I had to..."
Her words were ambiguous, leaving much to the imagination. Suddenly, Qingxue's gaze towards Qian Shengyan changed, now carrying a hint of sympathy: "Princess, you've suffered..."
"It's all worth it for the sake of the Prince and Yuanshou," Qian Shengyan sighed. She missed her son again, so she asked the wet nurse to bring the baby in, but unexpectedly, Yinzhen came in with him.
He dismissed the wet nurse and Qingxue, then sat down next to Qian Shengyan, holding Yuanshou in one arm and her hand in the other, and sighed, "I know everything."
Qian Shengyan: ...
Wait a minute, why is it that Yinzhen is never notified before he comes? He's a high-ranking Prince Yong, how can he just come like that?
Reflecting on what she had just said, Qian Shengyan felt slightly relieved, but also secretly reminded herself—this wasn't the first time; from now on, no matter who was around, she could never say things that couldn't be heard.
Let's always assume the walls have ears.
She was deep in thought, and the scoundrel was also in a daze. After a moment, he suddenly asked Qian Shengyan what she wanted.
Qian Shengyan: ? ? ?
What does she want?
She wants to go back to the 21st century, but that jerk can't do that.
Qian Shengyan looked around, a hint of confusion on her face: "I have no worries about food and clothing, and Yuanshou is healthy and adorable. I don't want anything."
Yinzhen, however, seemed to feel this was insufficient. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly asked, "Can you read?"
"We know each other... right?" Qian Shengyan was also a little embarrassed. Should she get to know him or not?
Her words made Yinzhen laugh, probably thinking she was putting on a brave face, and he said gently, "Then how about I teach you to practice calligraphy?"
Qian Shengyan: ...
No, wait a minute, the subtext of her saying she can't get pregnant for six months is that she can't have sex for six months! There's a possibility of pregnancy if you sleep together!
I can't even sleep anymore, what's that jerk doing here? Shouldn't he be ignoring her and going to find other women? Why is he even making her practice calligraphy? Does he have that much free time?
Perhaps it was because Qian Shengyan's expressions were too rich that Yinzhen chuckled again and said gently, "Alright, then have someone bring you writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone later. You should practice your calligraphy well, so you can teach Yuanshou more in the future."
Qian Shengyan had no choice but to agree.
After a moment of silence, Qian Shengyan thought that Yinzhen was about to leave, but to her surprise, the man, for some reason, spent the whole morning playing with Yuanshou at her place, even teasing Yuanshou to roll over and encouraging him to learn to crawl.
And then you had lunch at her place and even took a nap?
Looking at the man lying on her bed, Qian Shengyan really didn't know what to do. She looked to Qingxue for help, but Qingxue was obviously happy and even winked at her, gesturing for her to go up and sleep inside.
Qian Shengyan: ...
No, she's in good spirits today and doesn't need a nap.
"Hmm?" Yinzhen uttered a questioning sound, then opened his eyes to look at Qian Shengyan, who was still standing by the bed. "Aren't you going to rest?"
"I..." Qian Shengyan wanted to say that she wasn't sleepy, but Yinzhen grabbed her arm and pressed her down onto the bed.
Lying next to the man, Qian Shengyan stared wide-eyed at the crimson canopy above her head, feeling stiff and helpless for the first time.
Yinzhen probably sensed that she was sitting very straight, so he considerately turned over and faced away from her.
Sensing the slight sigh of relief from the person behind him, Yinzhen couldn't help but find it amusing, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Qian Shengyan didn't want to sleep, but she lost consciousness without realizing it. When she woke up, it was almost dark. She hurriedly sat up and called for help. Qingxue came in with a smile: "Princess, don't panic. The Prince took the Fourth Prince to play in the front yard and said that you should sleep a little longer."
"...Go play in the front yard?" Qian Shengyan couldn't believe it. "How old is Yuan Shou? What can he play?"
“Anything is fine, the Prince likes being with the Fourth Prince,” Qingxue said with a smile.
Qian Shengyan understood Qingxue's meaning, but Yuanshou was only a six-month-old child who could only eat, drink, poop, pee, and cry. Playing with him occasionally was fine, but what would happen if he accidentally annoyed Yinzhen?
She hurriedly tidied herself up and ran to the front yard. When she got to the gate, she remembered that the eunuch in charge of the gate had not allowed Ulanara and the others to enter when she came last time. She paused, but to her surprise, the main gate opened and Su Peisheng came out with a big smile: "Princess, the Fourth Prince has just fallen asleep and the Prince is with him and dares not leave. Perhaps... we should not move for now?"
"Isn't this too much trouble for Your Highness?" Qian Shengyan asked in a low voice, somewhat apprehensive.
Su Peisheng's smile grew even wider: "How could that be? The Fourth Prince is so clever and charming. This servant hasn't seen His Highness smile so many times in a long time."
Qian Shengyan didn't entirely believe this, but she guessed that Yinzhen wasn't bothered by the little guy. Besides, Yuanshou usually didn't cry much and had a wet nurse and eunuch to take care of him, so he should be fine.
She should go.
But I still couldn't move my legs.
Su Peisheng saw through it and smiled, "Don't worry, Princess, we'll return to Dongyou Courtyard once the Fourth Prince wakes up."
"Alright, thank you for your trouble, Steward Su." Qian Shengyan had no choice but to leave the front yard reluctantly, turning back every few steps.
Upon hearing Su Peisheng's detailed report, Yinzhen smiled and said, "I knew it." His eyes and heart were filled with love for his child.
Don't tell me you're reluctant to leave because you're waiting to see him; he's not that shameless.
He would encounter three or four women when he went for a stroll in the garden, but he never saw Qian Shengyan outside. He even sent someone to inquire, and it turned out that apart from paying his respects to the Fujin, Qian Shengyan never even left the courtyard and was very well-behaved.
In the main courtyard, soups and broths were delivered from the back courtyard every few days. Although Yinzhen did not eat them, he knew who was delivering them.
There was never a Qian Shengyan.
That woman seemed content to live her life simply by staying by her son's side.
Yinzhen chuckled, raised his hand and pinched his son's cheek. Yuanshou, who was fast asleep, seemed to feel the tickle, and the little fat body twisted slightly, but continued to sleep.
Raising children this well, it would be a waste to only have one.
Yinzhen thought about it, then chuckled again, raised his hand and gently held his son's chubby little feet, showing great affection.
Yuan Shou was brought back when it was completely dark. Looking at the little guy who had eaten and drunk his fill, Qian Shengyan realized she couldn't stop missing him. She even forgot to bow to Yinzhen. She took a few steps forward, picked Yuan Shou up from the wet nurse's arms, and kissed him: "Oh dear, a day apart feels like three autumns..."
Yinzhen raised an eyebrow slightly, as if to suggest that he had been coming less often.
He understood.
From that day on, Qian Shengyan gradually realized a problem:
Is Prince Yong really that free?
