Quickly wear a child: a beautiful woman with many children brings happiness

After the marriage was settled, both parties began to exchange gifts.

In order to enhance understanding, Emperor Chengjing organized a winter meeting in the West Garden of the Imperial Palace and asked all ministers to bring young people from their families to participate. Activities included ice skating, ice Cuju, boiling snow for tea, fishing in the snow, etc.

It was the fourth day since Yun Yuan asked Mu Nan to pay back the money. Mu Nan was only suspended from his post but not dismissed. Therefore, when Emperor Cheng Jing ordered the eunuchs to deliver invitations to all officials in the capital, he happened to get one.

"Young Master, where are you going?" Su Yan grabbed Mu Nan's arm in panic.

She thought she could live a good life when she went back with Mu Nan, but the reality was very different from what she expected. She lived worse than a maid in the Mu family.

The Mu family blamed her for Mu Nan offending the princess and slapped her when they found out her identity. If Mu Nan hadn't said she was pregnant, Mu's mother probably wouldn't even give her food.

Mu Nan waved her hand away indifferently: "Stay at home, I have something to do in the palace."

A bitter smile appeared on Su Yan's lips. She had only lived in the Mu family for two days, but she felt like a century had passed.

She gently covered her abdomen and said weakly, "My stomach hurts a little. Can you give me some money so I can see a doctor?"

Su Yan looked hopeful, but the answer she got was two cold words: "No."

Her heart sank instantly, and her face turned even paler than paper: "Sir, the one I am carrying in my belly is your own flesh and blood."

When Mu Nan heard this, his expression remained calm.

"So what if he is my own flesh and blood? In our Mu family, only the strong are qualified to be born into the world. If he can't even bear this little bit of suffering and dies on his own, it can only mean that he has no destiny with our family.

What a specious argument! Su Yan wanted to scold him for being heartless, cold-blooded and merciless, but now that he was under her roof, she had no way to deal with Mu Nan.

She pursed her lips and said, "When will you be back?"

"Know your own identity. You are just a concubine I bought with money." Mu Nan ignored her grievances and said coldly, "Don't try to interfere in my affairs. Even my whereabouts are not something a humble woman like you can ask about."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Su Yan stood there, watching Mu Nan's figure walk away. She turned around and was slapped to the ground by Mu's mother. She subconsciously protected her belly.

"You seductive vixen, you can't live without a man, right? You're flirting with my son behind my back, and you don't know how to do all the housework. Why don't you go and sweep the snow out of the yard!"

Su Yan regretted that she should not have come back with Mu Nan. Now she didn't get the position of Tanhua's wife, but found herself a rich landlord who was only exploiting her.

Mu Nan always believed that Yun Yuan had feelings for him. She cared about him so much in the past. Feelings could not be taken back just like that. Didn’t he see that three days had passed and he was fine?

He didn't know that as soon as he left, soldiers surrounded his shabby yard. Because the family couldn't come up with the money, Mu's house was ransacked and even the house deeds and land deeds of the shabby yard were taken away.

"What should we do? The officer said that if we don't collect the silver within three days, we will be sent to jail." Mu Yinhua said in panic.

"Let's wait for Anan to come back first." Father Mu said, "He is an official appointed by the court and is qualified to see the emperor. Let's ask him to plead for mercy."

"But will His Majesty help us?"

Father Mu was not sure and could only try his luck. He said dryly, "He is the king of a country. We can't let Princess Chaoyan persecute the officials of the court, right?"

There was a flash of sarcasm in Su Yan's eyes. The emperor was the ruler of a country and the father of Princess Chao Yan. How could he be so confident that His Majesty would help him if he didn't help his daughter?

"It's so cold, this is going to kill us!" Old Mrs. Mu burst into tears. She was weak after recovering from a serious illness, and she fainted before she could wait for long.

Different from the bleak and miserable life of the Mu family, the West Garden was bustling at this time.

Yun Yuan appeared gracefully on the ice wearing ice skates. The emperor did not forget the original intention of holding the winter meeting, and arranged for Yun Yuan to dance the first dance of the winter meeting without hesitation.

Yun Yuan, wearing a light blue dress with fluttering sleeves, dances gracefully to the music, spinning and jumping, and performing a series of graceful and difficult moves combining modern figure skating techniques.

Although the ice skates she wore were different from modern ones, she had the help of the spiritual energy in her body, and her movements were exceptionally light and graceful, which stunned the onlookers.

Even Emperor Chengjing did not expect that his daughter would have such superb ice skating skills.

After the song ended, Yun Yuan stood on the ice and stretched out her hand to the audience.

Xiao Qingxuan moved the fastest, or in other words, he had the best lightness skills. He jumped onto the stage and held Yun Yuan's fair and delicate hand.

The soft touch made his heart tremble violently, but he did not back off. Instead, he held Yun Yuan's hand tighter.

Next was the time for the duet dance. As the music started, the two of them moved like butterflies, sometimes separating and sometimes coming together. Their movements were in perfect harmony and coordination, and every step seemed to be carefully designed.

With Yun Yuan's leap, the atmosphere on the scene reached its climax.

Xiao Qingxuan caught her and held her hand to dance together.

There were exclamations at the scene.

"They are truly a perfect match made in heaven." Prince Xiao's face was almost crooked with smiles. He never expected that his son would have such a fate just after a trip back to Beijing.

Chu Yuheng, Xi Haoling, and Chi Mo secretly hated themselves for being a step slower, but they felt relieved when they thought that their ice skating skills were indeed not as good as Xiao Qingxuan's.

It's just an opening dance, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Chu Yuheng's younger brother Chu Yuyan looked at his brother resentfully, "Second brother, didn't you say you would give me the chance? Why don't you keep your word?"

Chu Yuheng thought of his previous promises and looked a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly and said, "You are still too young. I am your brother and a perfect match for the princess."

Chu Yuyan was not convinced: "I am only one year younger than you, it is you who is not keeping your word!"

"One year younger is still a kid." Chu Yuheng's eyes were always on Yun Yuan.

When Master Chu heard the two people arguing, he was afraid that the two would get into a conflict, so he quickly asked someone to separate them and called Chu Yuyan over.

"Your second brother and the princess are very compatible with each other. Don't get stuck on this. You are old enough now. I will ask your mother to arrange a marriage for you as soon as possible."

Chu Yuyan grumbled "hmm" in a depressed tone, and became even more resentful towards his second brother.

The opening dance ended and the winter meeting officially began.

When Yun Yuan stepped down from the stage, a cold, slender hand came towards her.

She hesitated for a moment and put her hand in the other's.

Chi Mo stood in the snow, wearing brocade clothes and fox fur, with a faint smile in his eyes.

With a slight force, he pulled Yun Yuan down from the stage, took the hand warmer from the servant behind him and handed it to Yun Yuan.

"The princess just danced beautifully," he said sincerely.

"Thank you." Yun Yuan took the hand warmer, her eyes sparkling like water: "Your piano music is also very nice, ethereal and cold. I was fortunate enough to hear it once, and I have never forgotten it."
