Chapter 470 Hurry up and create a human being
"Don't you feel jealous at all?"
"No."
She answered quickly, without much hesitation.
This is her original intention, she cannot forget it.
Xiao Yanci felt like there was a fire stuck in his chest, which he couldn't get out of or get out of, and it felt like a thorn in his throat.
"In front of me, you can be jealous and envious."
Lu Zhiran didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Can she? If she really does that, she will want more and more in the future.
One day, the man changes his mind, and she falls completely for him. How should she cope with it?
Xiao Yanci took in all the changes in her expression, and his eyes became even deeper.
He spoke slowly, "I will not marry anyone else except you. I will keep my word."
These words were said with absolute certainty and with great solemnity.
A look of surprise flashed across Lu Zhiran's face, and her heart trembled slightly.
How could he do that?
Impossible.
There has never been an emperor in the world who married only one person.
Even if he was not greedy for beauty, he had to weigh the situation in the court and marry some people he had to marry.
But the man in front of her looked too serious, so she swallowed back these cold words.
He suddenly stood up, causing a splash of water, and his strong and perfect figure came into view.
Lu Zhiran suddenly didn't know where to look.
"It's getting late, it's time to rest."
He casually put on a bathrobe, bent down, and pulled the person out of the bathtub.
Before Lu Zhiran could exclaim, he grabbed a bath towel and wrapped her tightly.
In the room, the maid who was waiting to serve saw this and hurriedly lowered her head and retreated, not daring to take another look.
The most urgent task is to create human beings.
If Zhiran gets pregnant soon, she can shut up those old guys.
He privately asked Nan Sheng for advice, and found out that these days were good days for Zhiran to get pregnant.
He worked hard that night and only called off work in the late night.
He was satisfied, but he made Lu Zhiran so tired that she didn't even have the strength to lift her hands. She was drowsy and slept until dawn.
After waking up, she felt a little dazed. She moved her body and felt a surge of pain. The memories of last night flooded back into her mind and her face suddenly felt hot.
Maids came in one after another and helped her change clothes and wash up.
When Cui Fu and Dan Yan saw the mottled marks on her body, their faces turned red and they couldn't help feeling distressed.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is too ignorant of the need to be gentle with women."
"Your skin is so delicate, how can you withstand such torture?"
Lu Zhiran quickly told the two of them to shut up. She still had some dignity left.
While Nanny Jin felt distressed, she couldn't help but feel anticipation.
The Crown Princess must get pregnant as soon as possible, otherwise, once the concubine becomes the princess and takes away her favor, it will be even more difficult for her to get pregnant.
After the Lantern Festival, the court officials’ vacation ended and they had to get up early every day to attend court.
At the morning court today, everyone was still discussing the issue of selecting a concubine for the crown prince, and they nominated many noble ladies. It seemed as if they were determined to fill up the Eastern Palace in one go.
The prince didn't react much to this and looked like he accepted it all.
Emperor Defeng then handed the matter over to the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department, and everything was handled according to the rules.
Prince Rui, the eldest prince and others bid farewell to Emperor Defeng and set off to return to their fiefdoms one after another.
Xiao Yanci personally went to see Prince Rui and Prince An off.
He once again expressed his gratitude to the two of them. Without their help, the situation would have been unpredictable.
Prince Rui smiled brightly, "Your ability to succeed my brother and protect the Great Qi is the greatest gratitude I can show you. In the future, if there is anything I can do for you, your uncle will be happy to help you. Okay, no need to see me off."
Prince Rui jumped on his horse, waved at them from his horseback, and rode away.
Xiao Yanheng's health had improved a lot, but he could not withstand the long-distance horseback riding, so he and Xing Chuxue naturally took a carriage back.
Xing Chuxue was saying goodbye to Lu Zhiran and Xiao Baozhu, and the two brothers were also talking.
Xiao Yanci asked, "Fifth Brother, are you really unwilling to tell Father about the Hengrui Trading Company incident? Once Father learns of this, he will surely reward you. You may not care about ordinary gold and silver, but I can mediate and ask Father to give you a more prosperous fiefdom."
Xiao Yanheng smiled and shook his head. "My current fiefdom is quite good. After a year, the princess and I have become accustomed to living here and don't want to move. The climate there is also very good, perfect for me to recuperate. As for this matter, you know that the emperor is old and his energy is not up to par. There is no need to disturb his peace with such a trivial matter."
Xiao Yanheng's target of allegiance has always been clear: Xiao Yanci, not Emperor Defeng.
It is enough for him to cling to Xiao Yanci, this golden thigh, and there is no need to please Emperor Defeng.
What's more, he really looked down on the insignificant rewards from Emperor Defeng.
After hearing this, Xiao Yanci stopped trying to persuade her, and at the same time, he felt more relieved.
Xing Chuxue said goodbye to them with tears in her eyes, and got on the carriage, looking back every few steps.
After watching the carriage disappear completely, the few of them went back, feeling more or less melancholy in their hearts.
But fortunately, we will meet again later.
The Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department quickly set about selecting a concubine for the crown prince. As the crown prince's biological mother, Concubine Rou had no recourse.
As a mother, she naturally hopes that her son will have many children and be blessed with good fortune.
But as a woman, she couldn't help but feel sympathy for Lu Zhiran.
Who would want their husband to be shared with others?
But... she couldn't do anything.
Concubine Rou summoned Lu Zhiran into the palace, held her hand, and didn't know how to comfort her for a moment.
Lu Zhiran, on the other hand, looked normal.
"Mother, I know my duty and will not be ignorant of the overall situation. You can rest assured."
After hearing this, Concubine Rou felt even more pity for her.
"We women are always helpless."
She didn't know what she was thinking about, but a hint of sadness appeared on her face.
The atmosphere in the palace was somewhat gloomy and depressing when a palace servant suddenly came to report a piece of news.
"My Lady, I heard that the eldest daughter of the Minister of Works eloped with someone."
This news left both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law stunned.
The eldest daughter of the Minister of Works is clearly one of the candidates for the Crown Prince's concubine this time.
She actually eloped with someone at this critical moment. Doesn't this clearly show that she doesn't want to marry the prince?
Concubine Rou was too busy being angry to care about it. She just felt it was strange and wanted to know whether it was true or not.
Lu Zhiran was even more filled with doubts.
Xiao Yanci said that he would not marry other women. Could this be his method?
If he used such means to put a woman in this situation in order to reject a marriage, Lu Zhiran would not feel happy at all, but only heartbroken.
She suddenly felt a little reluctant to stay, so she hurriedly said goodbye to Concubine Rou and returned to the East Palace.
Xiao Yanci didn't come back until the evening. Lu Zhiran didn't sleep and went to greet him immediately.
"Your Highness."
"Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Lu Zhiran's gaze fell on his face, and she vaguely felt that he seemed to be in a good mood.
"I heard that the eldest daughter of the Minister of Works eloped with someone. Is this true or false?"
