The two concubines and three concubines became even more uneasy when they heard the prince's attitude after he returned from the imperial study.

They knew very well how deeply the Crown Prince loved the Crown Princess and how much he valued his legitimate son.

This made their position in this mansion even more embarrassing.

One of the concubines gritted her teeth and said unwillingly: "Are we just going to sit there and wait for death? We have to find a way to change this situation."

Another concubine seemed a little hesitant: "But the prince is so determined, what can we do?"

At this time, a concubine's eyes flashed with cunning: "Why don't we behave ourselves first and behave respectfully in front of the Crown Princess. After she gives birth to the child, the Crown Prince will fulfill his promise and consummate the marriage with us."

After hearing this, others felt that this was the only way.

As the days passed, the Crown Princess' belly grew bigger and bigger, and the Crown Prince became even more caring towards her.

The five newcomers were very careful in the mansion every day and did not dare to make the slightest mistake.

At the same time, Bai Qianqian and Xie Mochen in the northwest were also keeping a close eye on the developments in the capital.

In mid-November, Bai Qianqian suddenly received a letter from the capital.

After reading it, her face turned very ugly.

"What's wrong, Qianqian?" Xie Mochen asked with concern.

Bai Qianqian frowned and said, "My eldest sister wrote to me and said that although those new people seemed respectful on the surface, she always felt that someone was secretly plotting something bad. Now that she is pregnant, she just wants to give birth to the baby safely."

The message was delivered last month.

It must be announced to the public after three months.

Xie Mochen pondered for a moment: "It seems that the water in the Prince's Mansion is deeper than we thought."

Bai Qianqian said anxiously: "Prince, I want to go to the capital to visit my elder sister."

Xie Mochen nodded: "Well, it's almost the end of the year, it's time to go back."

So the two of them packed their bags and prepared to set off for the capital.

Along the way, Bai Qianqian was anxious and kept urging the team to speed up.

Finally at the end of the month, they arrived in the capital.

Bai Qianqian went straight to the Prince's Mansion, and when she saw her elder sister Bai Jinyan, the two sisters hugged each other and cried.

Bai Qianqian looked at her elder sister's haggard face and felt distressed: "Big sister, you have suffered."

Bai Jinyan shook his head gently: "The prince treated me very well and I never suffered."

At this moment, the prince walked in, and when he saw Bai Qianqian and Xie Mochen, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Fifth brother, you are back."

The prince took Xie Mochen to the study.

As soon as he entered the door, the smile on the prince's face disappeared, replaced by deep depression.

"Fifth brother, you have no idea how painful my heart is." The prince sighed heavily and sat down on the chair behind the desk, looking tired.

Xie Mochen stood quietly aside, waiting for the prince to continue speaking.

The prince rubbed his brows and said, "The ministers in the court are always staring at my backyard, impeaching me at the slightest sign of trouble. That's fine, but the five new women who came into the mansion, although they seem to be well behaved on the surface, I always feel that they are plotting something behind the scenes. I only want Jinyan to give birth to the baby safely, but the things in this mansion really make me anxious and exhausted."

Xie Mochen comforted him, "Sixth brother, don't worry too much. As long as you stick to your original intention, the court officials will not dare to jump too much."

The prince gave a bitter smile.

He told her that he had not consummated his marriages with the five women.

This made Xie Mochen raise his eyebrows.

This is not the fault of the court officials.

The couple entered the mansion, but the marriage was not consummated.

Then it wasn't in vain that they sent their daughter in.

The prince continued, "I am doing this only to protect Yan'er and the baby in her belly. If there is a legitimate son left, I will naturally consummate the marriage with those women. When the legitimate son is older, I will also let them have children."

As soon as these words came out, Xie Mochen looked at his sixth brother with admiration.

He reached out and patted the prince on the shoulder, "Sixth brother, you did a good job. It was right to consolidate the position of the legitimate son."

Since you can't be with your beloved for the rest of your life, then just give her some preference.

On the other side, Bai Qianqian held Bai Jinyan's hand and asked with concern about the five women who came into the Prince's Mansion.

"Big sister, are those five women really not behaving abnormally recently?" Bai Qianqian looked nervous.

Bai Jinyan smiled slightly and patted Bai Qianqian's hand gently: "Qianqian, don't worry too much. They are quite well behaved and follow the rules every day. They don't dare to do anything out of line."

Bai Qianqian was still a little worried: "Big sister, you have to be more careful. I heard that the fights in the backyard are hard to guard against."

Bai Jinyan said confidently: "Qianqian, have you forgotten my medical skills? It is basically impossible for those women to poison me. Besides, I live in the prince's courtyard now. This courtyard is protected by the prince like a copper wall and iron wall. They have no chance to do anything."

Only then did Bai Qianqian feel relieved.

Then he took out a lot of dried meat from his arms and handed it to Bai Jinyan: "Big sister, this is what I prepared specially for you. It's all your favorite flavor."

Bai Jinyan took the jerky, his eyes full of emotion: "Qianqian is so thoughtful and always thinking of me."

Bai Qianqian looked at Bai Jinyan's face carefully and asked, "Big sister, how are you feeling lately? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Bai Jinyan touched her belly and said gently, "I'm fine. The child is also very well behaved and didn't make me suffer too much."

Bai Qianqian nodded: "That's good, big sister must take good care of yourself and the child."

Bai Jinyan thought about it and then leaned over to Bai Qianqian's ear and said something.

Bai Qianqian's eyes suddenly widened and she stared at her older sister's belly.

Twins!

How much suffering the elder sister must have suffered!

She hugged her elder sister with red eyes, her face full of heartache.

After a long while, he finally let go of the person and asked curiously, "Are they twins, a boy and a girl, or twins?"

"Not sure, whether it's a son or a daughter, I like it!" Bai Jinyan's eyes were filled with maternal love, and she reached out to touch her belly.

After leaving the Prince's Mansion, Xie Mochen first sent Bai Qianqian back to the Bai Mansion, and then went into the palace alone.

As soon as Bai Qianqian stepped into the Bai Mansion, Bai Qingbai and Han came to greet her with smiles on their faces.

"Qianqian, you're finally back!" With tears in her eyes, Han took Bai Qianqian's hand and looked her up and down.

Bai Qingbai also had a wide smile on his face and nodded repeatedly: "I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back!"

At this time, the little Niu Niu also took unsteady steps, stretched out his hands and called in a baby voice: "Sister, hold me, hold me."

Bai Qianqian happily picked up Niu Niu and kissed him on his pink little face.

The family sat together, laughing and laughing.

Han asked Bai Qianqian with concern about her life in the northwest.

Bai Qianqian picked out interesting stories to tell them, which made everyone sometimes surprised and sometimes laughed.

Bai Qingbai stood aside, looking at his daughter lovingly with eyes full of satisfaction.

"Qianqian, can you stay a little longer this time?" Han asked, holding Bai Qianqian's hand.

Bai Qianqian smiled and nodded: "Yes, mother, I can accompany you well this time."

The whole family is immersed in this warm and joyful atmosphere, full of joy and happiness.
