"Your Highness, Concubine Liu is pregnant, but the Crown Princess is still not pregnant. I'm afraid..." The Crown Prince's nanny said worriedly, with a trace of worry on her face. She looked at the Crown Prince and couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

However, the prince interrupted her and said, "Don't talk nonsense." His voice was so majestic that the nanny didn't dare to continue.

The nanny quickly lowered her head and said, "Yes." She knew that she had said the wrong thing just now, but she was just worried about the prince's future and hoped that the prince would have a son to inherit the throne as soon as possible.

The prince frowned slightly. He understood the nanny's worries, but he also knew that such things could not be forced. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then said, "The Crown Princess is doing this for Yu'er. Yu'er is Mengya's sweetheart, and also my sweetheart."

When Yu'er was mentioned, the prince's mind immediately popped up the image of Princess Mengya of Korea. She was his first wife, and they had a wonderful time together. Although things have changed now, he still remembers Mengya's deep affection and dedication to him.

He sighed softly, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes. He knew that no matter what, he would take good care of Yu'er and let him grow up healthy and happy. At the same time, he would try his best to protect the Crown Princess and give her enough time to adapt to her new identity and life. After all, he still cared about the Crown Princess in his heart.

"Mammy, there is no need to talk about this anymore." The prince waved his hand to signal the maid to leave. He stood alone in front of the window, staring into the distance quietly. His thoughts gradually drifted away, recalling every little detail of his time with Princess Mengya of Korea.

Back then, he and Mengya knew each other and fell in love with each other. However, fate made them separate. Now, although he has married someone else, he can never forget his feelings for Mengya.

"Yu'er, I hope you can grow up healthily and become an excellent person like your mother." The prince whispered to himself.

Turning away from the window, the prince decided to visit the princess to see if she was okay.

The prince came to the princess's bedroom and saw the princess teasing Yu'er. The scene was very warm. The princess heard the noise, looked up at the prince, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Your Highness." The Crown Princess bowed with a smile.

The prince nodded, walked to Yu'er and touched his head. Yu'er giggled and reached out to grab the prince's finger.

"Yu'er, be good." The prince said with a smile.

The Crown Princess looked at the Crown Prince and Yu'er, and felt a warm feeling in her heart. She knew the Crown Prince's love for Yu'er, and she also felt the Crown Prince's concern for her.

"Your Highness, thank you." The Crown Princess said softly.

The prince looked at the princess with a complex emotion in his eyes. He knew that he needed time to sort out his feelings for the princess, but at this moment, he just wanted her and Yu'er to be happy.

"You don't need to thank us as a family." The prince took the princess's hand, "As long as you and Yu'er are well, I will feel at ease."

The Crown Princess smiled slightly, her eyes full of emotion. She understood that although the Crown Prince could not forget his past feelings, he was also trying to accept everything in the present. Perhaps, in the days to come, they could create their own happiness together.

——Junfu

The sun was shining brightly, the breeze was gentle, and Hua Xiulan was leisurely basking in the sun in the garden with her child in her arms. Suddenly, a voice came from the door: "Princess, Princess, the princess is resting, please allow me to go and tell her."

"No need, I'll just go in and take a look." Princess Changning responded cheerfully, with a friendly smile on her face.

"Changning, why are you here?" Hua Xiulan looked at her in surprise, her eyes full of surprise and expectation.

"Cousin, I'm here to see you." Changning walked quickly to Hua Xiulan, her eyes fell on the baby in the cradle, and she couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wow! This little nephew is so cute, his eyes and eyebrows look so much like you." As she said that, she couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke the baby's cheek.

"Cousin, I was wrong last time. I shouldn't have trusted others so easily and hurt your heart. Fortunately, it wasn't a big mistake." Princess Changning said to Hua Xiulan with a guilty look on her face.

Hua Xiulan snorted: "Okay, you are the only one who is stupid. You believe others but not your sister."

Chang Ning scratched his head in embarrassment, then asked curiously, "Then is Hu Wansheng really not the prince consort's?"

Hua Xiulan nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes. It belongs to Shen Liangjun."

Chang Ning opened his mouth in surprise: "Shen Liangjun? General Ning Yuan?"

Hua Xiulan looked at her with some confusion: "Well, do you know him?"

Chang Ning nodded quickly: "Yes, my father asked me to make friends with him."

"I see." Hua Xiulan understood, "But Shen Liangjun is a good person, it's a pity..."

"What a pity?" Chang Ning asked curiously, with doubt and curiosity flashing in his eyes.

Hua Xiulan sighed slightly, her expression calm and indifferent: "He is a cold-hearted person." She shook her head gently, as if recalling some past events, but did not explain too much.

Chang Ning blinked, looking a little puzzled, but didn't ask any more questions. She smiled and changed the subject, "Hey, can't I come to see you if I have nothing to do?" She held Hua Xiulan's arm affectionately, with a warm smile on her face.

Hua Xiulan smiled and nodded, a trace of relief flashing in her eyes. The two stood together quietly, enjoying this rare quiet time.

After a while, Changning suddenly remembered something and asked excitedly, "By the way, what's your nephew's name?"

Hua Xiulan smiled and replied gently, "Jun Yao."

"Jun Yao?" Chang Ning repeated softly, savoring the charm of the name. She smiled with satisfaction and said, "It has a good meaning. I hope he will have a safe and smooth life."

Hua Xiulan nodded, her eyes full of love and blessing. She believed that this name would accompany the child as he grew up, witnessing his happiness and success.

——The Imperial Palace

"Cough cough..." The emperor's face turned pale and he coughed violently, and the sound echoed in the palace.

The eunuch at the side looked at the emperor nervously, his face full of worry: "Your Majesty, why don't you call the imperial physician to take a look? Your health is in danger!"

The emperor shook his head, suppressed a cough, and said, "No need, I know my own health. I am just a little tired from handling government affairs these days."

The eunuch frowned and said distressedly: "But Your Majesty, it is not a good idea for you to continue like this. Why don't you take a rest first and let the imperial physician treat you."

The emperor waved his hand, signaling the eunuch not to say anything more: "I still have many things to deal with and cannot delay. Besides, the imperial doctors are unable to cure the root of my illness."

The eunuch sighed helplessly and could only stand aside silently, praying in his heart that the emperor would recover soon.

"Where is the prince?" the emperor asked the eunuch beside him with a kind face.

The eunuch replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the prince is in the Queen Mother's palace at this time."

The emperor nodded and a gratified smile appeared on his face: "Well, he is a kind child." He was very satisfied and proud of his son.
