"You still don't believe it?"
Luo Lan pouted, "Don't you want me to give birth to a child for you? But you don't look very happy."
"Why wouldn't I be happy? I'm so happy I'm almost dizzy. I thought I was dreaming. Am I not dreaming?"
"Silly boy, be more serious next time, otherwise what will happen if our daughter imitates you?"
"Do you know it's a girl?"
"Guess what, we already have a son, and I want a daughter."
Leng Yu had a smile on his face and he kept nodding.
"As long as it's yours, I like both daughters and sons. I'll send someone to the palace to announce the good news."
"No need to be so anxious, right? It's only been over a month."
"Why not? This is a great thing. I'll go now."
After saying this, he hurried away. Looking at his back, Luo Lan shook his head helplessly and chuckled. This man, who was always calm and steady, was not often as excited as he was today.
The news that Princess Yu was pregnant spread quickly throughout the palace. The most anxious person was Concubine Li, who immediately called Leng Xi to Liyuan.
She was so anxious that she was running around in circles. Leng Xi stood in front of her with a serious expression and said slowly:
"Having children is not something I can decide; it depends on God's will."
"You've been married for over a month, but Qiaoqiao's belly isn't moving at all. I'll ask the imperial physician to check on her tomorrow."
"Don't look, we know what to do."
"What's your measure? Leng Yu adopted Leng Yun's child as her stepson, which gave her a head start over you. Now Liu Luolan is pregnant again. If she gives birth to a son, Leng Yu's position in your father's heart will be even more secure. I heard that your father has already decided to make him the crown prince."
Hearing this, Leng Xi frowned slowly and said in a cold voice:
"So what if I'm the crown prince? As long as he doesn't ascend to the throne, I haven't lost."
"But you have to work hard, you have to make Qiaoqiao pregnant as soon as possible!"
Leng Xi suddenly took a few steps back impatiently, bowed and said:
"Don't worry about this matter, mother. I'll take my leave."
Leaving these words as cold as water, Leng Xi turned around and left without looking back.
Looking at his back, Concubine Li wanted to say something else, but it was too late.
Madam Lu came forward and said softly:
"My Lady, I feel like something's not right with Prince Xi these days. She wasn't like this to you before."
Concubine Li's brows knitted together, and she asked in a cold voice:
"Did you find that woman?"
"No, she didn't return to Quancheng. I don't know where she went."
"Hmph! Keep looking. Once you find her, kill her without mercy. We can't let this woman ruin Xi'er's plans."
"I understand, but I think she may have seen that Prince Xi married Miss Yu, and since she knew her status and position were not as good as hers, she ran away quietly. If that's the case, we can save ourselves a lot of trouble."
Concubine Li shook her head in disagreement, "Don't forget, it was Xi'er who killed her father. Would she disappear so easily? Just do as I say."
Madam Lu took a few steps back and said, "I'll do it right away."
Leaving these words behind, she hurried away in small steps.
Concubine Li turned around and sat back on the couch. The moment she picked up the teacup, a puzzled look appeared in her eyes.
Xier has changed recently and has become very distant from her. She tried to find out the reason, but couldn't find any.
She asked him many times to bring Yu Qiaoqiao to the palace to sit with her, but he always refused, and she didn't know why.
Thinking of this, Concubine Li's face turned ashen. It must be that woman named Long Xiaomin who made Xier become what she is now. If she is not eliminated soon, Xier will always be thinking about her.
…
Luo Lan arrived at Prince Xi's Mansion early the next morning. When she arrived, Leng Xi was not there, so Yu Qiaoqiao received her in the main hall of Prince Xi's Mansion.
She calmly pushed the teacup across the table in front of Luo Lan and said in a calm tone:
"How come Princess Yu has time to come to Prince Xi's Mansion?"
Luo Lan picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, then looked at her and chuckled:
"I'm free, so I came to chat with you. How have you been lately? I just moved into Prince Xi's Mansion. Are you adjusting well?"
"It's good, it's the same everywhere."
"That's right, you don't like going out, but I suggest you go out more often when you have time. Why don't you ask Prince Xi to bring you to Prince Yu's mansion tomorrow? I'll ask the chef to prepare some delicious dishes, and we can have a good chat."
Yu Qiaoqiao chuckled and shook her head.
"I appreciate your kindness, but I just received a letter from the palace. Empress Li asked me to go to the palace to accompany her tomorrow, and I have already accepted it."
"That's fine too. Are you and Prince Xi okay?"
Hearing this, Yu Qiaoqiao was stunned for a moment, her eyes dodging, and she nodded calmly:
"It's fine. He's been a little busy lately, but he comes back every night."
Yu Qiaoqiao said it lightly, but in fact, only she knew in her heart that they had been married for more than a month and he had never even touched her. In fact, she locked the door every day before he came back. She was a little afraid of him and a little disgusted with him. Anyway, she just didn't want to do the most intimate thing with him.
Many times she had already made up her mind to just live peacefully as Princess Xi for the rest of her life, without arguing or talking, which was also a good choice.
Luo Lan saw that Yu Qiaoqiao didn't want to talk to her about what happened between her and Leng Xi. She knew that her trip was in vain, but since the other person didn't want to say anything, she couldn't keep asking questions. She was also very tired.
