Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Shen Wantang knew that as a mother, she truly loved her daughter. If other people heard that Xiao Qingxi was pregnant, they would think it was a great joy. However, the princess was more surprised than happy to hear that her daughter was pregnant. She was afraid that her daughter would go through the gates of hell.

She gently comforted her mother-in-law: "Mother, don't think too much about it. Go and listen to the princess's thoughts first. Right now, Mr. Huo doesn't know that the princess is pregnant."

Princess Ning was surprised: "Didn't he go to Xi'er's yard? How could he not know?"

"Because after she fainted, I took the initiative to keep this secret for the princess. Now only the princess and Nanny Kang know about it, and the imperial physician who came to check the princess's pulse also knows about it. No one else knows about it."

Princess Ning let out a long sigh of relief. She held Shen Wantang's hand tightly and said, "Good child, thanks to your careful consideration. I said that it was right to let you look after Xi'er!"

Regardless of whether my daughter wants to keep the child or not, it is not appropriate to publicize the fact that she is pregnant at the moment.

If her daughter really wanted to divorce, then she was pregnant and had an abortion. If this matter were to get out, it would be very bad for her daughter. And if Huo Yunzhou and the entire Huo family knew about it, they would inevitably intervene and make her daughter endure their nagging for nothing.

If my daughter doesn't want to divorce, it won't be too late to announce the pregnancy later.

In short, Shen Wantang left enough ways out for her daughter this time, and she was very grateful.

"Come on, let's go check on Xi'er. This child has never experienced any storms before. She must be a little overwhelmed right now. I'll go give her some reassurance!"

Shen Wantang held her arm and said, "Mother, please. The princess should be waiting for you."

The group quickly went to Xiao Qingxi's yard.

This time, Shen Wantang did not go into the house, but stood outside to give Princess Ning and her daughter space to talk.

As soon as Princess Ning entered, Xiao Qingyuan and Huo Yunzhou were kicked out again.

Xiao Qingyuan was a little confused: "Shen Wantang, why is mother here too? What happened? Is there something wrong with Qingxi's body?"

"Sir, the princess is fine."

Huo Yunzhou frowned: "But why do I feel this is very abnormal?"

"Mr. Huo, it's getting late, you should go back first!"

"But I still don't know what happened to Qingxi. She just fainted and her face was frighteningly pale. How can I feel at ease if I don't find out?"

"If you don't want to take a concubine, the princess should tell you. If you insist on taking a concubine, then you should go back first!"

Huo Yunzhou saw that Shen Wantang's tone was calm and her expression was indifferent, and even the Princess Ning who had just arrived did not look anxious or apprehensive. He guessed that Xiao Qingxi was probably really fine.

He stood in the yard for a while, finally sighed and left.

As soon as he left, Xiao Qingyuan asked Shen Wantang: "Now that Yunzhou is gone, you can always tell me what happened to Qingxi, right?"

"No."

"Why?!"

"Your Highness, you wouldn't think that I didn't tell you because Master Huo was here, right?"

"Is not it?"

"Of course not. I promised the princess that I would not tell anyone about her except my mother. Although you and the princess are siblings, if I tell you, not only will I break my promise to the princess, but Master Huo will also know about it."

Xiao Qingyuan looked a little unhappy: "Okay, you keep the secret for Qingxi, I don't blame you, but why do you think I will tell Huo Yunzhou if I know about Qingxi? Am I not as good as you in keeping secrets?"

"The prince is a man of sentiment, and he has a good relationship with Master Huo. If he begs you again and again, will you have the heart to keep silent?"

"Of course I won't tell! As long as Qingxi doesn't let me, I won't tell anyone!"

"I hope the prince will do what he says, but I still can't say it."

Xiao Qingyuan glared at her: "Forget it if you don't want to tell me. I'll ask Qingxi. Now that Huo Yunzhou is gone, she will definitely tell me! She has always been willing to tell me everything since she was a child. When she liked Huo Yunzhou, she was the first one to tell me!"

Shen Wantang said calmly, "Well, the love between the prince and the princess is very touching."

Xiao Qingyuan snorted coldly and walked forward and knocked on the door.

The door opened quickly, and the voice of Princess Ning came from inside: "Yuan'er and Tang'er, come in!"

Shen Wantang followed Xiao Qingyuan into the house.

On the chaise longue, Xiao Qingxi leaned in the arms of Princess Ning, her eyes red, obviously having cried.

But she was in good spirits, perhaps because Princess Ning really gave her reassurance, which gave her enough confidence and a sense of security.

Xiao Qingyuan couldn't help but ask, "Mother, what happened to Qingxi? Is she sick? But I see that she looks pretty good right now, she doesn't look sick."

Princess Ning turned to look at her daughter: "Xi'er, do you want to tell your brother?"

Xiao Qingxi asked, "Brother, didn't you say you would beat up Huo Yunzhou for me? Did you do it?"

Xiao Qingyuan: "This..."

"You didn't hit him? Are you lying to me? Or are you afraid of him?"

"What a joke! How could I be afraid of him? I just think that if I beat him up, it would make things difficult for you. After all, he is still your husband, right?"

Xiao Qingxi thought about it and felt that what he said made some sense. She added: "I can tell you what happened to me, but you are not allowed to tell Huo Yunzhou after you know it!"

"No problem, I will never tell him!"

Xiao Qingxi was relieved when she saw him agree. She cleared her throat and said with pride on her face, "Brother, I'm pregnant."

Xiao Qingyuan was stunned: "What?!"

"It's been three months, and the doctor said my baby is very healthy!"

"This is a good thing. Shouldn't Huo Yunzhou be told about such a big thing? He is the father of the child."

"I won't tell him, he'll be mad at me!"

"Is this the time for you to fight with him? If he knew that you had his child, he would be very happy. If he was happy, he might not take a concubine, and you wouldn't have to divorce."

Xiao Qingxi sneered: "If he doesn't want to take a concubine because of the child, then who am I? If there is no child, he will take a concubine, and if there is a child, he will not take a concubine. Does he love the child or me?"

"But you can't keep hiding the child forever, right? You'll have to tell Yun Zhou sooner or later!"

"If he takes a concubine, I will keep it a secret until the child is born, and I won't tell him! If he decides to love only me and no longer take a concubine, I will naturally tell him."

"Then are you still divorcing him?"

Xiao Qingxi hesitated for a moment, she touched her belly, then gritted her teeth and said, "If he takes a concubine, I will divorce him! I won't give in and I won't be wronged!"

"You're going to divorce him even if you have a child?"

"Ok!"

"What about the child?"

"What should I do? Of course I should give birth to the baby!"
