"Multiple births? It turns out to be multiple births..."

"You took the medicine I gave you, right?"

"Yes, I took it twice, thinking that I would get pregnant faster."

Song Qingwan felt helpless. The situation she was most worried about had finally happened.

Wan Guiren was very happy. She was immersed in the joy of becoming a mother. She gently stroked her belly with a smile on her face.

"You have to be careful. The fetus is unstable in the first three months, and you have multiple fetuses. If it slips, the consequences will be serious."

"Wan'er, I understand. I will be careful. Do you think these two children are boys or girls? Will they look like me when they are born?"

"Yes, Sister Lin is so beautiful, no matter whether it's a boy or a girl, she will be very beautiful."

Although Song Qingwan was a little worried, she was already pregnant and could only try her best to protect the fetus.

She prescribed a lot of pregnancy-preserving medicine for Wan Guiren, and told her to take them on time, and to be careful not to catch a cold and to keep a good mood.

Wan Guiren wrote down everything and asked Meixiang to keep the medicine.

Song Qingwan went to Yuqi Palace to visit Concubine Shun. Concubine Shun was very happy to see Song Qingwan. The two of them asked about each other's well-being and talked for a long time.

At Concubine Shun's place, Song Qingwan learned that the Queen seemed to have encountered some difficulties and had a gloomy face all day long.

"Humph, I'd rather keep her busy to death!"

The feud between Concubine Shun and the Queen began when Zhao Yuanrui was still the crown prince. They both entered the palace at the same time and had similar family backgrounds.

Just because Duke Chu brought up the fact that Lan family's ancestor was a founding hero, he forced Lan Mingyan to become the principal wife, while Yan family's legitimate daughter Yan Qinghuan was relegated to the position of concubine.

Although the Yan family is not a family of founding heroes, Yan Qinghuan's father, Yan Shijie, was the General Zhenbei, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops and making great military achievements for the Great Saint Dynasty.

One can imagine how unwilling Yan Qinghuan was to accept this, but because the marriage was granted by the emperor himself, no one could disobey his order, so the two of them fought from the prince's mansion to the imperial palace.

"Mother, please don't get angry. Being angry will make you old. It would be a pity to ruin such a beautiful face of yours."

"Haha, you are the only one who knows how to make mother happy. You and Jin'er should hurry up and have a baby. We can't fall behind Prince Yu and his wife."

Song Qingwan agreed readily, but in reality she would not allow herself to have a child so early. This body was only seventeen years old, and she would have to wait until she was eighteen to become an adult before having another child.

Zhao Huaijin expressed his support for Song Qingwan's idea of ​​not wanting to have a baby for the time being. Giving birth is such a dangerous matter, so naturally Song Qingwan has the final say.

But in front of the elders, Song Qingwan just went along with what was said, saying that it was up to her and Zhao Huaijin how to do it.

After coming out from Concubine Shun's place, Song Qingwan was about to go back, and was almost bumped into by someone when she arrived at the palace gate.

"You don't have eyes!"

Song Qingwan looked carefully and found that it was Lan Xiaoxiao from the Lan family. What a narrow road the enemies meet.

Lan Xiaoxiao obviously recognized Song Qingwan. She looked at Song Qingwan with disdain and started to mock her.

"Who did I think it was? It turned out to be Miss Song who was kicked out of the Song family."

"Miss Lan is really out of date. I am now the legitimate wife of Prince Huai. According to your status, you should greet me and show your respects."

"What are you dreaming about? You want me to bow to you? Song Qingwan, can you bear it?"

"Miss Lan, you are so arrogant. I was married by the Emperor himself. Prince Huai carried me into the palace as his principal wife in a sedan chair. I am the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family who is listed in the imperial royal book."

"So what?"

As the queen's niece and the youngest daughter of the Lan family, Lan Xiaoxiao has been arrogant and domineering since she was a child, and she will not be easily frightened by others.

"So you don't even take the emperor's order seriously. Otherwise, let's go to the emperor and reason with him. I'll sue you for contempt of the emperor!"

"You... Humph, I won't bother with you!"

Lan Xiaoxiao was choked, snorted coldly, and quickly ran towards the harem.

Was she chased by a dog? Song Qing was too lazy to argue with such a little girl. She walked out of the palace and returned to the prince's mansion.

Lan Xiaoxiao went straight to the harem, to the Queen's Zhengyang Palace, and knelt at the door as usual.

Biyu, who was serving in the palace, saw Miss Lan kneeling on the ground again and quickly informed the Queen.

"Madam, Miss Lan is kneeling outside again, do you see?"

The queen opened her eyes, a hint of impatience appeared on her face, and she waved her hand to interrupt.

"If she likes to kneel, let her kneel. Leave her alone. She doesn't understand anything."

"Miss, you are still young, and it is inevitable that you will fall in love for the first time..."

"Humph, so what if she likes him? The Lan family and the Yan family are destined to be mortal enemies. If she marries them, she will be jumping into a fire pit! Besides, how could the Yan family agree to let Yan Yu marry her?"

It turned out that Yan Yu was going back to Jiangnan soon, and Lan Xiaoxiao had reached the age to get married. She had been fond of Yan Yu for a long time, and wanted to ask to marry into the Yan family and follow Yan Yu to Jiangnan.

How could the Lan family agree to this? Daughters born to the Lan family, whether legitimate or illegitimate, were tools used to consolidate their power.

Lan Xiaoxiao has the highest status among all the unmarried girls in the Lan family, and she is also the most beautiful. How could the Lan family give up such a chess piece?

Not to mention that the Yan family would not agree, even if Yan Yu married Lan Xiaoxiao, it would not bring any benefits to the Lan family, which would be a waste of a daughter.

That's why Lan Xiaoxiao frequently went to the palace to ask the Queen for help. As long as the Queen agreed to grant the marriage, no one's objection would be of any use.

But how could the Queen agree? The Queen and the Lan family were of the same mind, so naturally, they would not want Lan Xiaoxiao to marry him.

"Madam, it's going to rain outside. Please ask Miss Lan to come in first."

The queen looked at the sky outside and finally ordered Biyu to bring Lan Xiaoxiao in.

"Aunt, do you agree?"

"Don't dream, Xiaoxiao, this marriage will never happen, you should go back."

The light in Lan Xiaoxiao's eyes faded, and her expression dimmed. She sniffed and continued to ask in a hoarse voice.

"Who is my aunt going to marry me to?"

"I have discussed with your father that once Zhong Xuejiao gives birth to a legitimate son, you will be sent to Prince Yu Yu's mansion."

"What? Aunt, you want me to marry my cousin? To be his concubine?"

Lan Xiaoxiao couldn't believe her ears. Was this still her most respected aunt? Didn't her aunt love her the most?

Lan Xiaoxiao opened her eyes wide in disbelief, tears streaming down her face.

"Is it so hard to accept? She's not a concubine, but a concubine. Concubines can also be included in the imperial list. She's a legitimate daughter-in-law of the Zhao family."

"No, I can't accept it. How can I marry my cousin? Aunt, this is ridiculous!"

Zhao Yujun and she grew up together, and she had no romantic feelings for him at all, let alone marrying him.

Besides, although there is only one word difference between the words "concubine room" and "principal room", the meanings they represent are very different.

"What's wrong with marrying Jun'er? If one day... then you will be a noble concubine, and this won't be considered an insult to you."

"But what about me? Is my happiness not important at all?"

As the daughter of the Lan family, who can control her own destiny? Even if Lan Mingyan is the queen, doesn't she still work for the Lan family?
