In fact, many of the family members who came back this time came with this idea in mind.
Yan Shiyue pursed her lips.
The Queen put down her cup and sighed, "I understand. I have been looking forward to this baby for many years, how can I not understand your feelings? If Fu Yan really has this ability, I also hope that you can get what you want like me."
She paused, "But you may not know. In the past, people like me, the Crown Princess, the Princess of Taiping, and even the Fourth Prince's wife...actually, none of them asked Fu Yan to give birth to a child. Maybe they did during our daily interactions, but none of them deliberately said this. As for why they have children, I'm afraid it's because we interacted so much and got Fu Yan's blessing."
She sighed, "I didn't want to say this at first. You know, Fu Yan likes to show off. This news got out for no reason. She didn't know what was going on, but she couldn't refuse. She went to see off everyone who came to her... Who knew she felt uncomfortable afterwards? This silly child thought it was a coincidence and didn't tell me. Who knew that one time when she was at my place, she suddenly fainted, which scared me a lot. After careful investigation, I found out that it was related to this incident."
The room was very quiet, and the Queen's expression became more and more serious: "I have thought about it for a long time afterwards. Children are the blessing of many lifetimes. Even the Goddess of Childbirth, the true god in heaven, can never give birth to every child she sends. Fu Yan is just a mortal, how could he have such a talent? How could he do such a thing that goes against the will of heaven? He will definitely be punished by heaven."
She shook her head repeatedly, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
Everyone looked at each other.
Yan Shiyue thought to herself that her mother was amazing! These words made sense, and even she almost believed them!
The Queen then continued, "So, although I understand your feelings, Fuyan is my dearest lover, and the Emperor has always loved her very much, and she is indispensable in many things. If giving birth will harm your health, the Emperor and I will never allow it."
...
...
Everyone didn't know what to say for a moment. They just agreed with him, but they were unwilling to give in and wanted to refute him, but they didn't know where to start.
The Queen gently stroked her hand, and after a while she continued, "Looking closely, it seems that if it was a coincidence, unintentional, or if they had a good eye for each other, or if they had known Fu Yan for a long time, it might be easier to have a child. But if they deliberately asked for it, and Fu Yan was reluctant to do it, I'm afraid it would all be in vain, and it would be detrimental to the outcome. You should understand the love that the Emperor and I have for our daughter."
At this point, what could anyone say? They could only smile and respond.
Yan Shiyue kept a straight face and felt relieved.
In this way, the matter was finally resolved.
After all, after the Queen said that, anyone who asked her to give birth to a child again would be trying to harm her, unless she herself likes him. Haha, not bad, not bad, a big worry has been solved.
Everyone continued to eat and drink, but many people's interest had obviously declined.
The Queen could not sit for long now, so she went back after dinner, leaving Jin Yu with her while the others continued to enjoy the flowers and visit the garden.
Yan Shiyue walked around casually. From time to time, people came forward to greet her, and Jin Yu whispered in her ear to introduce their identities.
Most of the time Yan Shiyue just nodded, but he saw that there were quite a few young girls who came, and they were obviously girls waiting to be married. There shouldn't be many young men coming this time, so what were so many young ladies doing?
"Your Highness, don't you know?" Jin Yu said with a smile, "It is said that Your Highness likes women with pitiful looks the most, otherwise why did Jia Changzai try so hard to get close to Your Highness that day?"
Yan Shiyue said speechlessly: "How could there be such an outrageous rumor?"
Jin Yu smiled and said, "The Queen said so too. The Queen said how could His Highness like a woman..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she heard Yan Shiyue say, "I only like those who are well-behaved! Or sweet!" She pointed at one at random: "I prefer those who are white and sweet like that!"
Jin Yu: “…”
Unfortunately, the young woman saw her pointing and hurried forward to pay her respects. Jin Yu whispered in her ear, "This is the daughter-in-law of Prime Minister Xu. I heard she is also here to have a child. Prime Minister Xu's family tradition is very good. Only those who are childless by the age of 30 can take a concubine. I heard that her husband is already 30."
Xu Xiang?
Yan Shiyue raised her eyebrows slightly.
After receiving the young woman's greeting, she smiled and asked, "What's your name?"
The young woman was slightly stunned, and quickly replied: "My maiden name is Wang, and my maiden name is Tian'er."
Yan Shiyue nodded and patted the back of her hand: "May you have a baby soon."
Wang was stunned, with both joy and surprise at once, but when she saw her walk forward, she quickly suppressed her joy and lowered her head.
Fortunately, Yan Shiyue met so many people along the way that no one noticed her expression.
Yan Shiyue couldn't just leave, so she wanted to go to the pleasure boat over there, paddle out of the shore, and where would these people go to find her?
When we were almost at the water's edge, we saw a group of young girls gathered together. One of them said, "The peony is elegant and graceful, with a national beauty and a heavenly fragrance. I love it alone."
Another person chuckled and said, "Although the peony is beautiful, it is too ostentatious and overbearing. It is not as good as the lotus, which is graceful and affectionate, and its fragrance is even more refreshing as it spreads far away, and it is more popular."
The man said, "What's wrong with being flamboyant and domineering? Only those who are beautiful enough can be flamboyant and domineering! Just like the Queen and His Royal Highness!"
The man said, "How can you say that the Queen and His Highness are overbearing?"
Before he could finish his sentence, someone had already seen Yan Shiyue and hurried over to salute him.
Yan Shiyue waved her hand: "No thanks."
The man from before came running over, took her hand and said, "Your Highness, do you like peonies or lotus flowers?"
This is Sheng Qi's sister Sheng Yuan, nicknamed Xiao Bing'er, and she is only twelve years old. In fact, she has only met her once, but both siblings are very outgoing and not restrained at all. The thing she likes most about her is... she is short.
Yan Shiyue smiled and touched her head: "What does Xiaobinger like?"
Sheng Yuan immediately said, "Peony!"
"Yeah," Yan Shiyue smiled and pinched her little face: "I like peonies too."
She smiled at everyone and said, "Besides, Xiaobing'er is right, 'You have to be beautiful to be arrogant'. If you can't be the 'most beautiful woman in the world', then it's boring to me."
Jin Yu just wanted to cover her face.
Auntie, just talk, can you please stop touching my face? Do you think the rumors are not hot enough?
Others immediately echoed.
Zhao Xiangning, who had just praised the lotus, also came forward and said, "Your Highness is right. It is I who am ignorant."
It was just for fun, so Yan Shiyue didn't intend to delve into it. She pinched Sheng Yuan's face again and said, "Go and have fun."
Sheng Yuan covered his face and responded, and several people bowed and left.
Seeing that everyone had left, Yan Shiyue continued to stroll towards the pleasure boat. Halfway there, she saw Zhao Xiangning coming around. She stepped forward to bow and said shyly, "Your servant Zhao Xiangning has always admired Your Highness." She seemed too embarrassed to continue and covered her face with a handkerchief.
So? Is he trying to offer himself to me?
