Qian Shengyan's eyes widened in disbelief.
It's not like she's clinging to Yinzhen and refusing to let him have it. They're both living in the same palace, but Yinzhen is staying in the study. What can she do?
Could she possibly grab his hand, strip off his clothes, and send him to Nian's bed?
What's the difference between that and pimping?
Qian Shengyan had a headache, and she also confided in Qingxue: "I told you the other day that Consort Nian really likes Hongli... I have long hoped that she could have a son or daughter, and give up those inappropriate thoughts."
"Yes, Master said so." Qingxue smiled again, "The Prince loves Master dearly, but there's nothing he can do about it."
Qian Shengyan glared at her, then sat down and pondered for a moment: "We should think of a way to get the Fujin to come to Rehe. The Fujin was willing to send Consort Nian here in the first place because she had the intention of winning over Consort Nian. If the Fujin can come, she can give the Prince a few words of advice."
"That's what you're thinking, Master," Qingxue said with a smile, and without saying anything else, she helped Qian Shengyan wash up and go to bed.
The next day, it was heard that Lady Nian was still living in Dongshan Academy and had not left, but Yinzhen was still sleeping in the study.
The third day, the fourth day...
Qian Shengyan couldn't help but worry for her, and privately said to Qingxue, "The prince is staying overnight in the study, can't she go over and bring some snacks or fruit? Does she have to wait for the prince to take the initiative?"
Qingxue didn't understand either. Was the Nian family waiting for some opportunity? But right now, it seemed like there weren't any good days ahead.
Three more days passed, and Qian Shengyan was completely numb.
She didn't want to care about the two people's news, but Zhang Defu would come over every night to report, and each time he would emphasize that the Prince and Consort Nian spent no more than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea alone in a room.
Qian Shengyan: -0-
Why does she act like she's a tigress, unwilling to even let men talk to other women?
Fortunately, Yinzhen had not developed a fever and was in good health. There were no new cases of the epidemic reported from the Summer Palace, so he was finally able to leave Dongshan Academy.
That very day, Yinzhen moved into the Pianyun Shujuan Palace. His speed was almost impolite, and Qian Shengyan even suspected that Lady Nian had done something to displease Yinzhen.
But she didn't ask. She was happy when Yinzhen came and played with the two children to make him happy. After the two children went to take a nap, the two of them talked slowly, and somehow they ended up rolling onto the bed.
First she got pregnant, then he fell seriously ill, then she gave birth and went through postpartum confinement, and then the epidemic struck. It turned out they hadn't slept together for almost a year. This time, their encounter was like a raging fire, burning Qian Shengyan to the point of losing her reason.
She hugged Yinzhen, crying and laughing, babbling on and on, not even knowing what she was saying. Anyway, the two of them vented their frustrations and didn't fall asleep until dark.
Then Qian Shengyan was woken up by hunger at dawn.
Her stomach was growling, and she felt so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back. She tried to get up, but found that even the slightest movement caused her waist and legs to ache, making her gasp for breath. When she called for help, she found that her voice was hoarse.
Ugh, this is just too much...
What's even more remarkable is that Yinzhen was sleeping next to her. His serious face turned into an unexpectedly cute sleeping face, and his lips were even pouting because he was lying on his side and pressing down on his cheeks.
Qian Shengyan found it amusing and couldn't resist reaching out to poke his lips with her finger.
One, two, three...
Suddenly, someone gently bit her fingertip. Yinzhen opened his phoenix eyes slightly, still dazed from just waking up, but when he saw her, he instantly smiled. He held her hand and intertwined their fingers, laughing, "You've just woken up and you're already causing trouble for me."
"My lord..." Qian Shengyan said coquettishly, snuggling into his arms, her voice both reproachful and charming, "My voice is all ruined."
"Really? Who told you to talk so much yesterday?" Yinzhen was amused by her, but he still put on his robe, poured her some warm water, and slowly gave it to her to drink.
Qian Shengyan felt a little better after drinking half a cup of water from Yinzhen's hand. Seeing Yinzhen drink the rest of her water without any hesitation, she narrowed her eyes, a mischievous thought suddenly forming in her mind. She leaned forward and took his finger into her mouth.
Hmph, he just bit her, now she's going to bite him back!
...Then, when Qian Shengyan got up again, she was just in time for lunch.
She was so hungry that she couldn't feel hungry anymore. Despite exercising so much, she missed two meals. Qingxue was worried that eating too much at once would be bad for her stomach, so she gave her a bowl of porridge first.
After eating her fill, Qian Shengyan finally felt like she had come back to life.
She leaned lazily against the chaise lounge, letting Qingxue massage her waist gently—there was nothing left to hide; she had screamed until her voice was hoarse, and only a deaf person would know what they were doing.
Yinzhen took his son to the study, saying he would test Hongli's studies. Fuerguochun also went to take a nap. Qian Shengyan originally wanted to take the opportunity to rest, but before she could linger for a while, someone came from outside to report that Consort Nian had arrived.
Qian Shengyan didn't understand why she had come, but she had to see her. She stood up, supporting her waist, but after taking a few steps, her legs still ached, so she could only hold onto Qingxue's hand and slowly move into the main hall.
Madam Nian's expression was not good. The old woman standing behind her looked anxious, her eyes darting around as if she wanted to say something but dared not.
Qian Shengyan, holding Qingxue's hand, curtsied and said, "Greetings, Consort."
She was prepared to bend her knees and stand up, but for some reason, Nian looked at her with resentment in her eyes and bit her lip, refusing to get up.
Qian Shengyan frowned slightly.
She was already having trouble standing, and this stiff posture made it even more uncomfortable. Her back, which had just started to feel better after being massaged, started to ache again, and her legs were trembling slightly. She turned her head slightly to look at Qingxue, who immediately supported Qian Shengyan with even more force to prevent her from falling.
But it's really hard to bear.
Qian Shengyan also bit her lip, wondering what was wrong with Nian Shi coming to her place today.
Wei, the old woman behind Nian, was also getting anxious and couldn't help but quietly nudge Nian's shoulder. But Nian just wouldn't wake her up. A moment later, she saw Qian Shengyan sway and be supported by Qingxue. She then sneered, "What's wrong? It's been a few months since Consort Qian gave birth. Hasn't she recovered yet?"
The sarcastic tone made Qian Shengyan feel annoyed.
Her legs were trembling so badly she could barely stand. She was hesitating whether she could just stand up regardless when she heard a cold snort from outside the door, and Yinzhen strode in.
Qian Shengyan immediately adjusted her tone: "Greetings, Your Highness..."
"Get up quickly." Yinzhen helped Qian Shengyan up and led her to sit in the chair at the head of the table. He was annoyed by the unconscious frown on her brow and the uncontrollable trembling of her legs as she sat down.
He turned his head to look at Nian Shi, who was still curtsying, and sneered: "If you like curtsying so much, then stay a little longer."
After speaking, ignoring the tears that suddenly fell from Lady Nian's eyes, Yinzhen bent down, picked up Qian Shengyan horizontally, and strode into the inner palace.
