Chapter 471: Didn't Treat Her as a Woman
Xiao Yanci pulled her to sit down and said, "It's true."
"Did His Highness do anything about this?"
"I did play a role in this matter, but Miss Yu herself is not innocent. She has been having an affair with an actor for a long time and is pregnant with his child. The Yu family knows about this and is planning to secretly abort the child and bring it into the Eastern Palace. The Yu family is taking advantage of me, so I naturally cannot indulge them."
After hearing this, Lu Zhiran's expression froze, and then became a little interesting for a moment.
She never expected that the truth would be like this.
Xiao Yanci looked at her jokingly, "Do you suspect that I'm framing her?"
Lu Zhiran nodded first, then shook her head.
"At first, I did suspect that it was Your Highness who orchestrated this, as it was such a coincidence. But then I thought about it carefully. Given Your Highness's character, he wouldn't do such a thing. At most, Your Highness fanned the flames behind the scenes."
This is indeed the case.
She had just taken the initiative to ask because she wanted to verify this point.
There was a hint of smile in Xiao Yanci's eyes. He was very happy that she trusted him.
"I promised you I wouldn't marry anyone else, but not at the expense of hurting others."
"But even if Miss Yu is gone, there will still be Miss Zhang and Miss Li..."
Not everyone is as restless as Miss Yu, and not everyone has so many handles to hold against them.
Xiao Yanci smiled and said, "All I want is to delay time. As long as this matter is postponed, there will naturally be other ways later."
As for what method he would use, he did not reveal it until the time came.
This matter became known to everyone, so Xiao Yanci struck while the iron was hot and complained to Emperor Defeng. He finally gave in and agreed to postpone the matter.
Emperor Defeng might have seen that Xiao Yanci was unwilling to take a concubine, but the matter of the Yu family really hit the nail on the head. The reputation of the crown prince Xiao Yanci was damaged. He used this matter to resist the idea of taking a concubine, and Emperor Defeng could not force him.
Xiao Yanci looked at Lu Zhiran with a sense of seeking credit, and Lu Zhiran felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart.
Originally, she had no hope for Xiao Yanci's promise, but now, she finally felt some reality.
This man might really be able to do it.
What have I done to deserve him to treat me like this?
Lu Zhiran touched her belly and couldn't help feeling a little anxiously anticipating.
I just hope that I can get pregnant as soon as possible.
He now has a successor, and his position as crown prince can be more secure.
The grand event of selecting a concubine was put on hold because of Miss Yu's self-destructive behavior.
Those young ladies who were hoping to become successful and become phoenixes were all gritting their teeth and hating Miss Yu to the core.
Those who are still young can continue to wait for opportunities, but those who are a little older are more anxious.
I feel a little unwilling to give up just like that.
But if I continue to wait, I don’t know how long I will have to wait. What if I become an old maid?
Xiao Baozhu was very happy to hear this.
Although it is only a matter of time before the emperor takes a concubine, the later the better.
There are suddenly a bunch of women in the mansion, it hurts my eyes just looking at them.
Xiao Baozhu complained indignantly, "Why can men have three wives and four concubines? We women can only marry one man? This is so unfair."
Lu Zhiran said, "Don't worry, your Sun Muzhi will definitely not have three wives and four concubines."
Xiao Baozhu snorted coldly, "If he dares, I'll break his legs!"
Jiang Nansheng also teased her, "Sun Muzhi's eyes are glued to you, and he absolutely cannot tolerate anyone else."
Xiao Baozhu immediately broke into a brilliant smile, her expression full of pride and sweetness.
Lu Zhiran suddenly spoke up, "Nan Sheng, could you please feel my pulse again? I fell into the water at the Chu family before, and I'm afraid I've caught a cold. Do you need any medicine to recuperate?"
Jiang Nansheng looked at Lu Zhiran and saw the change in her mentality at a glance.
The last time they talked about pregnancy, Lu Zhiran was calm and relaxed, letting things take their own course.
This time she actually brought it up on her own initiative, and there was a hint of anticipation in her expression.
It seems that the prince's plan to take a concubine has finally affected her mood.
Jiang Nansheng stretched out his hand and began to feel her pulse.
"You are in good health, without any problems. The previous fall into the water didn't leave any underlying illness. Ah Ci is also in good health. The matter of having children is all about fate. When fate arrives, the child will come naturally. We have all seen how Ah Ci treats you, so there is no need to be anxious. The more anxious you are, the more likely you are to be disappointed."
When Lu Zhiran heard this, the restlessness in her heart seemed to be soothed, and her whole heart calmed down.
Xiao Baozhu also stretched out her hand, "A Sheng, let me see it too."
Jiang Nansheng slapped the back of her hand, "Why are you joining in the fun?"
"Why am I just joining in the fun? What if I get pregnant?"
Jiang Nansheng didn't even think about it, "You can't."
Xiao Baozhu immediately glared, "Why is it impossible for me?"
They are very busy at night.
Jiang Nansheng thought to herself, of course she knew, because Sun Muzhi had once privately asked her for contraceptive pills, not for Xiao Baozhu, but for himself.
He said, "Baozhu is still young and it's not appropriate for her to get pregnant. I also don't want her to drink the contraceptive soup, so I can only take it myself."
Jiang Nansheng was very surprised and at the same time very moved. The silly girl Baozhu had indeed met her true love.
It wasn't just Sun Mu who came to her for medicine; Xiao Yanci also came.
He was just the opposite, looking for medicine to have children.
Jiang Nansheng was also helpless. Although she had changed back into women's clothes, it seemed that no one around her treated her as a woman. They went to her for everything and were not shy at all.
Sun Muzhi asked her to keep the secret, so Jiang Nansheng naturally couldn't go back on her word.
Jiang Nansheng lied casually, "You are still a child, your body has not yet fully developed, and you have been unable to conceive in the past few years."
"What about in a few years?"
"After a few years, your body will be fully developed and you'll be able to get pregnant naturally."
Xiao Baozhu believed Jiang Nansheng's words without a doubt and felt relieved immediately after hearing them.
It just so happened that Nan Sheng had originally told her not to get pregnant too early, and she was still thinking about secretly drinking contraceptive soup, but now she doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
Xiao Baozhu suddenly asked curiously, "Ah Sheng, what if you get pregnant?"
Jiang Nansheng reached out and poked her, "You don't need to worry about my affairs."
She is a doctor herself, so she naturally knows how to use contraception.
Moreover, Lin Zheng was more self-conscious than her and always managed to hold back from getting inside.
Several women gathered together, whispering about what they did in the bedroom. If an outsider heard them, he would be amazed at their shamelessness.
Xiao Yanci was very busy, and Lu Zhiran was not idle either.
In addition to the internal affairs of the Eastern Palace, she also manages the business and Jinxiufang. She is not restricted by her identity as the Crown Princess.
Jiang Nansheng's comfort made her feel relieved and she no longer thought about pregnancy every day.
Keep yourself busy and you will feel more relaxed.
Time flies and spring comes. The weather is getting warmer day by day.
Peace returned to the capital, and people's lives returned to normal.
At this moment, an urgent message came from southern Fujian, breaking the tranquility.
