Brother Huang, he has been planning for a long time

but……

"These are all little boy's clothes. What if this is a little princess?" Qingchen put down the clothes and unconsciously touched her bulging belly with her hand.

"The princess has great medical skills. She said it was the little prince, so she can't be wrong." Huaisang stopped looking at her when he saw her putting away the child's clothes. She stepped forward and put the clothes away.

When she turned around, she saw He Lanyan stepping into the palace. She immediately knelt down and saluted, "I see you, Your Majesty."

"Step back first." He Lanyan's eyes fell on the person sitting at the fringed brocade table.

After Huaisang exited the bedroom, he sat down next to her, habitually leaning over and placing his ear against her swollen belly to listen to the movements of the child inside.

"Is he still as noisy today as last night?" He Lanyan asked softly.

During this period of time, he almost always slept under her bed, so every night when she was unable to sleep due to the noise of the child in her belly, he would be by her side to comfort her, either chatting with her all night long, or staying with her in the middle of the night. She takes a walk in the courtyard.

She didn't sleep well at night and couldn't sleep much during the day. He Lanyan was worried that her body would be overwhelmed.

"It would be fine during the day." Just now, hearing He Lanyan's voice, he became quiet inside.

"When he comes out, I will give him a good spanking to vent my anger." He Lanyan, who was always struggling like this, straightened up and reached out to grab her hands, with a flash of heartache in his eyes.

Some time ago, she finally managed to make her look prettier, but now this child has been making trouble for her every night.

In just a few days, she suddenly became quite haggard.

"You'll scare him if you say that." Qingchen glanced at him, uncomfortably took out the hands held by him, and poured him a cup of tea.

"He is so naughty, how can he be afraid of being beaten by me." After a pause, He Lanyan shook his head, "It seems that Yuli was right, he is undoubtedly a boy."

"Don't you like boys?" Qingchen pushed the tea cup in front of him, his eyes glazed over for a moment.

As the princess of Dongming Kingdom, if she gave birth to a prince for him...

If it's a princess, that's okay...

"If she were a princess, she would look like you." He Lanyan didn't think that much, but simply thought that if the child in her belly was a daughter, she would be as beautiful and lovely as her when she grows up. "However, when I think about being a little princess and being deceived by other brats when I grow up, I feel unwilling. No matter how prince you are, if I am no longer here, he can still protect you."

"..." Qingchen lowered his eyes, "You are worrying too much."

He Lanyan meant what he said, but seeing her cold expression, he didn't explain much.

After letting Huaisang pass the meal and having lunch with her, he saw her taking a nap on the imperial concubine chair nearby. He tucked her into bed, got up and left Suiyin Hall.

When he returned to the imperial study, Yin Chuan immediately said: "Your Majesty, the spies are here to report that a few days ago was the ceremony for the establishment of the emperor of Dongming Kingdom."

He Lanyan frowned slightly, "Is Yue Qinghe a queen?"

"Yes." Yin Chuan continued: "The queen is the prime minister's daughter."

Jiang Ling raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you have a good relationship with the emperor? Do you want to tell me about this and make her happy too?"

"This matter must not be done." He Lanyan immediately sat up and shouted: "This matter cannot be spread in the palace, let alone the empress."

"Ah?" Jiang Ling and Yin Chuan looked at each other, somewhat puzzled.

"In short, Yue Qingchen cannot let Yue Qingchen know about this matter. If you dare to leak a word, you will be killed!"

"Yes, I take orders." Although they didn't know why the master wanted to exclude the little princess from knowing about this matter, they just obeyed whatever the master said.

……

Qingchen slept a little deeply this time, and didn't wake up until it was almost dark.

"Your Majesty is awake." Huaisang pushed the door open and saw her sitting up, so he said, "Your Majesty is going to the Haitang Palace tonight and cannot dine with your Majesty. Do you want your Majesty to eat first?"

"I'm not hungry yet. I'll pass on the food later."

"Okay, empress." Huaisang lit a few candles, and the bedroom suddenly became brighter.

Qingchen got up and saw that there was nothing to do, so he read the storybook.

It’s the twelfth lunar month now, so fast.

She had been in Xihe Country for almost a year. She raised her eyes slightly and looked out the window at the yard.

The snow season in Xihe Country is very close to that in Dongming Country.

It was December weather, and there were already snowflakes falling outside.

"Princess." A voice that I hadn't heard for a long time suddenly sounded from behind.

She turned around in surprise and saw a handsome-looking man sitting next to the fringed brocade table in the bedroom.

"Qi Xiao." She curled her lips with a faint smile in her watery eyes.

Qi Xiao stared at her swollen belly and shook his head, "Tsk, tsk, long time no see, the princess is pregnant with that Your Majesty's child! You really want to break Qi's heart, what are you doing to give birth to that child?" If I had known, Qi would have taken you away!"

Qingchen closed the window, stood up and poured him tea, "I haven't seen you for so long. Where have you been? Are you still killing innocent women?"

"No, no, after being saved by the princess, Qi has changed his mind and stopped doing his old job." Qi Xiao took a sip of hot tea and said enthusiastically: "Let me tell you, this time I went to the Southern Jin Kingdom. I met the newly-appointed queen of the Southern Jin Kingdom, and she looks very similar to you. I thought she was really you, but the queen is older than you. Is she a relative of yours?"

Hearing this, Qingchen smiled lowly and said, "I grew up in the Dongming Kingdom and have no relatives from the Southern Jin Kingdom."

"That's true." Qi Xiao still stared at Qingchen's face, "It's really similar..."

"How could the Southern Jin Kingdom be the queen?" How come she had never heard of this matter.

"This matter is complicated. The old emperor of the Southern Jin Dynasty originally had many sons, and they were all vying for the throne. Those princes died very badly, leaving only a princess in her thirties, and so did the princess. Those who have the means to gain the trust of the old emperor will be directly named the princess by the old emperor. Some time ago, the old emperor passed away, and the princess became the queen. "

"That's it." Qingchen nodded and didn't think much after hearing this.

She didn't know much about the Southern Jin State, she only knew that the Southern Jin State and the Dongming State were friendly countries.

"Why did you suddenly run away to Southern Jin?" She raised her eyes and looked at him.

"The Southern Jin Dynasty has the art of insect poison, which is very powerful. I originally wanted to become a disciple, but it turned out that I was asked to become a wife."

"Really?" Qingchen teased, "This is a great thing for you."

Qi Xiao glanced at her faintly, "Do I, Qi, look like the kind of woman I want?"

"Oh, that woman is not good-looking, so you don't like her."

"..." Qi Xiao was choked for a moment, and then changed the subject and said: "By the way, let me tell you something that makes you happy. I stayed in Dongming Kingdom for a while, and happened to meet your emperor brother's ceremony of establishing a queen. Those days The capital city of Japan is so lively!”
