The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

Liao Qinglan had a very regular daily routine. She would get up at the hour of Mao and go into the palace after having breakfast.

That day, she was having breakfast when Cheng Yunxiang sent Nanny Fang to deliver a message.

"Miss, Madam has bought some chrysanthemums and is going to distribute them to the various courtyards. I will ask Miss Jinxiu to go over there later."

Liao Qinglan looked at the time and saw that it was almost time to enter the palace, so she said, "Jinxiu, you will go with Nanny Fang later. Ah Tao will accompany me today."

Jinxiu took the order and went to the main courtyard with Nanny Fang.

"Jinxiu, what do you think of these pots of flowers?" Cheng Yunxiang asked, pointing to a few pots of flowers placed separately on the side.

Jinxiu smiled and said, "Madam is so kind to Miss. She gave the best-blooming pots to Miss. These pots have full petals and bright colors. Miss will definitely like them."

"As parents, of course we want to give the best to our children." Cheng Yunxiang's eyes softened, and then she changed the subject and asked, "Jinxiu, you have been with Lan'er for ten years, right?"

Jinxiu said, "I entered the mansion when I was five years old, and have been following the young lady ever since. This year has been exactly ten years."

"You have been with Lan'er for a long time, and you know her thoughts best. Do you know what she does when she enters the palace every day?" Cheng Yunxiang asked.

"The Queen likes you. You go to pay your respects and chat with her. You come out in less than half an hour each time. You don't do anything."

Liao Qinglan's recuperation of the Queen's health was carried out in secret. Except for the Queen's confidants and Mo Wang, no one else knew about it, including Jinxiu.

"Then do you know what's going on between Lan'er and the second son of the Wang family?"

Jinxiu nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Young lady's first visit to the Queen was introduced by the Second Young Master Wang, and the Second Young Master Wang did express his feelings to Young lady."

This was the first time Cheng Yunxiang had heard of such a thing. She looked at Jinxiu with a bit of blame: "Such a big thing, you and Lan'er didn't tell me! How is Lan'er going to reply to Mr. Wang Er?"

"I dare not speculate on what the young lady was thinking, but the young lady did not reject Mr. Wang Er at that time."

After hearing Jinxiu's words, Cheng Yunxiang felt a little relieved.

Her daughter is only fifteen years old. She is very beautiful, but she doesn't like to dress up or socialize.

She had mentioned to Liao Qinglan several times that she wanted to meet some good-looking men in the capital, but each time the topic was changed.

She was worried that her daughter seemed so pure and indifferent at such a young age.

Now it seems that it may be true as the rumors say, that the Queen Mother has promised and is waiting for Wang Tingzhi to return to Beijing.

"The Wang family is of high status. I heard from Wei'er that Wang Tingzhi is an upright and reliable child. If Lan'er is interested in her, it can be considered a good match." Cheng Yunxiang said to himself.

Jinxiu comforted her, "Madam, don't worry. Miss is the most outstanding lady in the capital and is highly regarded by the Queen. You don't need to worry about Miss's marriage in the future."

Cheng Yunxiang nodded, and asked Liao Qinglan if there was anything missing for food, clothing, or daily necessities in the courtyard, and then let Jinxiu go back first.

Liao Qinglan had already arrived at the Queen's bedroom. After paying her respects, she sat quietly beside Queen Wang and began to take her pulse.

Her fingers were placed on Queen Wang's wrist, and she looked very focused, feeling the beating of her pulse.

After checking her pulse, Liao Qinglan asked softly, "Madam, have you had your period this month?"

The queen was a little embarrassed when she heard this, but she still answered truthfully: "Not yet."

Liao Qinglan's heart moved, she knew what this meant.

For three months, she has been taking care of the queen's health, and now it seems that the results are finally paying off.

She carefully asked the queen about some other symptoms and finally confirmed her guess.

She stood up, bowed deeply to Queen Wang, and congratulated her, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are pregnant with the heir to the throne."

The usually calm queen was pleasantly surprised when she heard this. She couldn't help but stroke her still flat belly and asked, "Really? I'm really pregnant?"

Liao Qinglan smiled and nodded, saying, "It is absolutely true. Your Majesty's phoenix body has almost recovered. Now you just need to rest assured and take care of the baby, waiting for the birth of the dragon heir."

After hearing what Liao Qinglan said, the queen felt so happy that she couldn't express it in words.

The emperor would come to her palace on the first and fifteenth day of every month, but after so many years, there was still no sign of pregnancy in her belly.

This is a pet peeve of hers.

Not only did the concubines in the harem laugh at her, but her family also put tremendous pressure on her.

My brother has sent letters several times, proposing to select another young girl from the royal family's side branch to enter the palace as a concubine.

In name, it sounded good, as it was to help her consolidate her position in the harem.

In fact, they just felt that her inability to give birth to a child was a useless move for the Wang family.

It seems that although she is the queen, she is isolated and helpless in this world.

For the family, she is a tool to consolidate power.

As for her husband, Li Zheng respected her on the surface, but in fact he was always afraid of the Wang family. He secretly prevented her from getting pregnant and sent people to assassinate Wang Tingzhi to suppress the rising star of the Wang family.

All kinds of means are used, no matter what.

This child is her only relative who is connected to her by blood and shares her joys and sorrows.

When she thought of this, Queen Wang's eyes softened a lot. She gently stroked her belly, looking forward to the arrival of this little life.

Liao Qinglan prescribed some more prescriptions for nourishing the fetus and then stood up to leave.

He happened to meet Aqiu, the queen's personal maid.

Ah Qiu was furious. As soon as she came in, she complained to Queen Wang: "I went to invite His Majesty to the Pepper Palace to discuss the autumn hunt, but His Majesty summoned the King of Qin and refused to see me!"

Liao Qinglan, who was packing the medicine box, paused slightly when she heard the word "King Qin".

The reason is simple: this King of Qin is Gu Mingzhao.

The speed of his rise was much faster than in his previous life.

Nowadays, everyone in the capital knows that the Prince of Qin is the emperor's favorite.

It is said that the emperor was assassinated while on an incognito tour, and he risked his life to save his majesty from a dozen assassins.

The emperor hit it off with him at first sight and insisted on conferring the title of King of Qin on him.

Gu Mingzhao was a commoner with no military merit and no family influence. All the civil and military officials opposed his enthronement as king.

But the emperor refused to listen to anyone and insisted on making him king.

The ministers then suggested that the title of a county prince would be enough, and the title of a prince was indeed inappropriate.

The emperor still refused to listen and wanted to confer the title of prince on him. Not only that, he also wanted him to be in charge of the imperial guards.

You know, the emperor’s two adult princes have not yet been crowned kings!

This level of honor and favor is simply beyond description.

The queen was in a good mood at the moment and didn't care, so she said, "The King of Qin is in the limelight right now, there's nothing to be angry about."

Ah Qiu was still dissatisfied: "Yes, yes, he is the only king of a different surname since the founding of the Dayin Dynasty. Everyone else has to stand aside!"

The Queen shook her head helplessly: "Forget it if the Emperor doesn't come. I will make the decision on the autumn hunt myself. Qinglan, you should come with us. I am pregnant now, and I will feel at ease with you around."

"I will follow Her Majesty's orders." Liao Qinglan said.

"Aqiu, please escort Qinglan out of the palace."

A Qiu led Liao Qinglan towards the palace gate and ran into a group of people walking towards them in a mighty manner.
