Chapter 540: I respect Lin'er's wishes.
"Your Majesty, Princess, the Dowager Queen wants you to come in for dinner."
Only after the food was served did Su Qiqi stop chatting and feed the little prince together with Concubine Qing.
The mother and daughter came in and saw this scene.
Su Qiqi raised her eyes and asked the two to sit down. Then she asked Yu Ma to serve a bowl of black chicken soup to Jiang Yunwan. "Wanwan, this black chicken soup is very nourishing. You should eat more now that you are pregnant."
"Thank you, Queen."
Nanny Yu poured another bowl of black chicken soup and placed it in front of Song Yu.
"Yu girl, I heard from your grandmother that you were able to return to the capital safely because you suffered a great deal of hardship. You lost a lot of weight and haven't gained it back yet. She said that your round face is the cutest. You should eat more good nourishing food. I want to see you gain weight soon."
"Thank you, Queen. I will eat more and grow back the lost flesh as soon as possible." Song Yu used the serving chopsticks to pick up a few medicinal dishes for Gu Yining. "Grandma, these are all good for your health. Eat them all and don't leave any. You will be almost healed in half a month of recuperation."
Gu Yining was very pleased. A daughter raised by Aye was filial. "Okay, grandma, finish eating."
"Mom, you can't eat too much. You have to eat small meals frequently. My little brother can't grow too big, otherwise he will suffer on the day of delivery."
"Yeah, if mommy eats less, you should eat more breakfast to get the meat back. Come on, eat more meat..."
Concubine Qing noticed that most of the food Jiang Yunwan ate was sour.
There is no doubt that the baby in her belly is a son.
Male heirs to the royal family are really rare. Xiao Hongye was 36 years old before he had a son. It was really hard for this child.
"Sister Princess." As soon as the little prince opened his mouth, Concubine Qing corrected him.
"You can't call her sister. Her father is your cousin, so she is your eldest niece."
"Niece." The little prince felt a little awkward when he called her that. He wanted to call her sister.
"...My Queen Mother hasn't tasted the peony fruit cake you made yet. Could you make one and send it to the palace tomorrow?"
"Okay, I'll send someone to deliver it to the palace tomorrow when it's ready."
Xiao Yanli still had government affairs to attend to, so he took his wives, concubines and the little prince away after dinner.
Concubine Qing shamelessly followed him to Kunning Palace.
"Why? Do you want me to arrange for someone to escort you back to your Weiyang Palace?"
"Yu'er has trouble sleeping at night when I'm not around. How about I take Yu'er back to Weiyang to stay for a few days and then send her to Kunning Palace?"
Su Qiqi glanced at the little prince who was sleeping in her arms and quickly walked into the bedroom.
After a while, she came to the main hall and said, "I repeat again that she is Lin'er, not Yu'er. Don't even think about bringing Lin'er back to Weiyang Palace. As her mother, it is my duty to take care of her."
Concubine Qing was instantly furious. "I have raised Yu'er for almost eight years. The little prince has been frail and sickly since childhood, and I have taken care of him day and night. Even though you are the queen, you cannot be unreasonable. How can you just take advantage of me? Yu'er is my son."
"Okay, why are you so excited? When you get older, getting angry makes you age faster!"
Imperial Concubine Qing took a deep breath and said, "If Yu'er doesn't go back, then I won't go either. Either Yu'er goes back to Weiyang Palace and stays there for a few days, then comes to Kunning Palace and stays there for a few days, or I'll stay here!"
"How dare you!" Nanny Yu said sternly, "This is Kunning Palace. The person standing before you is the Empress. Are you trying to commit insubordination, Imperial Concubine?"
"Stand back."
At Su Qiqi's command, Nanny Yu fell silent and stepped aside.
"It's impossible for Lin'er to return to Weiyang Palace. Since you can't bear to leave him, I allow you to come here every day, but you can't stay overnight."
Concubine Qing said casually: "Okay!"
Su Qiqi frowned, "Isn't that what you're planning?"
Concubine Qing: "I want to take Yu'er back to Weiyang Palace instead of living here."
Su Qiqi raised her hand and said, "You can go now."
"It's still early before dark, I have something to say."
Su Qiqi sat down and said, "Then tell me quickly."
Concubine Qing then told her in detail that Song Mingen might become regent in the future.
Su Qiqi: "My brother and sister don't have any thoughts, and their own son won't have any improper thoughts either. There's nothing to worry about him being the regent."
Concubine Qing: "Yu'er."
"Huh?" Su Qiqi glared at her.
"Lin'er is weak now. You should be able to feel it. It's a bit difficult for him to recover to the best condition when Yu girl took care of him. Lin'er said that he just wants to grow up with us safely. Lin'er likes Xiao Hongye very much."
Su Qiqi understood instantly and looked at Concubine Qing.
Back then, he tried his best to fight with her, hoping to help her son become the crown prince.
But in the end, her son was shot and died.
Her three sons were also killed one after another.
The biggest reason was the price Yan Li paid for his fight for the throne.
He won but also lost.
The royal family seemed to have suppressed several rebellions, but this resulted in a lack of male heirs in the royal family and a surplus of yin and a decline of yang.
They were almost exterminated by Xiao Hongyi and his son.
"I respect Lin'er's wishes."
Concubine Qing asked again, "Do you want to test the Emperor's opinion?"
"The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs, but I will ask indirectly..."
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Yanli received a message from Xiao Zhenshu, which also included a piece of news that shocked him greatly.
"Agui, do you know why my eldest grandson wants to get married and marry the Princess Protector of the Country?"
Wang Gui shook his head. How could he know if the emperor didn't tell him and kept it a secret?
"Yu girl is not only my mother-in-law's savior, but also Ajing's savior. If she hadn't helped me, I would never have seen Ajing again."
Wang Gui: "I see. If the princess marries him, she will surely be greatly loved."
"That's right... I will immediately draft the imperial edict granting the marriage. Tomorrow morning, you will take two copies of the imperial edict to the Duke of Anguo's mansion. All arrangements will be made by the eldest princess."
"It's the Emperor."
After returning to the Du Mansion, Su Beiqing couldn't wait to ask, "Mom, tell us quickly, does Sister Yu agree to this marriage?"
The Du family members gathered together and waited for Du Ye to speak.
"Sister Yu naturally agrees."
Du Henian was confused. "Prince Mu doesn't like girls, isn't it? Isn't it rumored that he's a homosexual?"
Du Ye glared at him, "Did you see it with your own eyes? You believe the rumors!"
Du Henian: ...
"...Prince Mu simply hasn't met the girl he's attracted to. Sister Yu was his savior, and after returning to the capital, she accidentally saved his grandmother. It's natural for Prince Mu to have a good impression of Sister Yu, and after a few interactions, Prince Mu has fallen in love with her."
Du Henian, Su Beiqing and Du Zhixu all looked confused.
"When did Sister Yu save Prince Mu?"
Du Ye said, "The eldest princess just told me that Sister Yu met Master Mu at the entrance of the poisonous forest not far from the Banshan Yunyin Inn. It was because Sister Yu had a dream that warned her to go to the Banshan Yunyin Inn in advance to inquire about it, and then she saved Master Mu."
Gong Lingyu said: "Grandmother, father and mother, this is enough to prove that my sister and Prince Mu are destined to be together. You don't have to worry that my sister will be wronged if she marries him, she will only be doted on."
"Grandma, I will start giving my sister a dowry from today. I will withdraw first."
Su Beiqing said, "I'll go back to the warehouse and pick some out now."
"Mom, I'll go and help take a look too."
Du Henian felt happy but also a little sad.
My precious daughter didn't talk to him today. It seems she really doesn't want him as her father anymore.
Well, he wanted his daughter to marry out of the Du family in the future.
It seems a bit difficult.
So angry!
The next day, just after Song Yu had finished breakfast, Wang Gui came to Prince Rong's mansion with an imperial edict in high spirits.
