The mental state is beautiful

Soon, news came out that Princess Yan was pregnant again.

This time, it was not considered big news. After all, it was not unusual for a woman to get pregnant again after having given birth once. At most, she could only sigh, "Good food is never too late."

However, Princess Yong, who was under house arrest by Prince Yong, was devastated when she heard the news.

Lvliu from Prince Yong's Mansion has now become a concubine because she is pregnant and has the protection of Prince Yong, which makes Princess Yong unhappy.

Upon learning that Princess Yan, whom she once thought would have no chance of having children, was pregnant again, Princess Yong was furious.

Ever since Prince Yong determined that Princess Yong had framed Lvliu and wanted to get rid of the baby in her belly, Princess Yong is now not allowed to see Princess Jiacheng, her biological daughter.

Princess Yan calculated the time when the fake fetus in Lvliu's belly would miscarry, and planned to use this opportunity to deal a heavy blow to Prince Yong.

On the other hand, the young Sheng Minglan lived with her mother in the Sheng Mansion and did not have a good life.

Gu Tingye, who was studying at Bailu Academy, did not have the spare money to keep a mistress this time.

However, Princess Yan still controlled the puppet to reveal Gu Tingye's identity as the son of the Marquis's Mansion to Zhu Manniang. So Zhu Manniang designed to get close to Gu Tingye. Her gentleness and thoughtfulness brought warmth to Gu Tingye, making Gu Tingye believe that Zhu Manniang was deeply in love with him, not greedy for fame and fortune, and willing to follow him who had nothing.

As expected, the routine won people's hearts, and soon, Zhu Manniang successfully became the woman beside Gu Tingye.

Zhao Zongquan and Shen Congxing of Yuzhou are now decadent. Not only have they made no achievements in government affairs, but their families are also a mess. And the eldest Shen and the eldest Zou are both indifferent to their husbands.

Both couples have been childless since their marriage. Whether it is to cope with the urging of their elders at home or to consider their reputation in the outside world, they have to take action to prove themselves.

Both Zhao Zongquan and Shen Congxing wanted their wives to take the blame for infertility, but the eldest Shen and the eldest Zou took concubines for their husbands.

This action first shut up the elders, and then the concubines of the two men "accidentally" revealed the fact that their husbands were impotent. This matter caused a sensation, but the reputation of the two ladies' infertility was successfully cleared.

Only then did Mrs. Shen realize that not only her husband was impotent, but her own brother was also impotent.

In the city of Bianjing.

Princess Yan is now taking care of her pregnancy while controlling the puppets in Prince Yong's mansion. While Prince Yong is visiting Lvliu, she lights a warm incense for the two of them.

With a scream of pain from Lvliu, her fake tire was gone.

Prince Yong was drowning in self-blame and guilt, and had no intention of investigating the mystery. This gave the puppet ample time to destroy the evidence.

Although Princess Yong was still under house arrest, she was still very excited about the news.

"That bitch is unlucky. So what if she got pregnant by chance? She still died. So what if she got lucky enough to become a concubine? Now that she has no child, isn't she still a rootless duckweed? Hahahaha, God bless me!"

Princess Yong knew that once this happened, someone would be needed in the palace to take charge of the situation.

Prince Yong certainly does not want to face the shadow of having personally killed his child, so the lifting of Princess Yong's house arrest is just around the corner.

On the other hand, Gu Tingye, who was addicted to Man Niang's fake gentleness, directly handed a divorce letter back to Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.

Xiao Qinshi hoped that Gu Tingye would indulge in women and not make progress! Naturally, she readily agreed.

Now that the old Ningyuan Marquis is gone, everything in the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion is decided by the mistress of the house, Xiao Qinshi. She agreed to everything, so Zhu Manniang naturally succeeded in becoming Gu Tingye's concubine.

"It's good to have a concubine! It would be even better if she had a child. That way, I wonder which decent lady would be willing to marry Gu Tingye!" Xiao Qin knew very well that the future heir to the title of Marquis of Ningyuan would be chosen between Gu Tingye and Gu Tingwei. Both of them were legitimate children, so it just depended on who was more capable.

Gu Tingye's current reputation is just that of a naughty boy, which is not a big problem.

What Xiao Qinshi has to do now is to praise Gu Tingye to death.

Gu Tingye was naturally arrogant and lacked humility under the indulgence of Xiao Qin for many years, which was something that those civil officials disliked. In addition, when he was studying at Bailu Academy, he was in love with his concubine Man Niang and had no interest in poetry and books. This doomed Gu Tingye to have difficulty making achievements in the imperial examination.

Moreover, Gu Tingye has not had the opportunity to learn sophisticated martial arts this time, and it will naturally not be as smooth as in the original plot for him to seek an official position in the army in the future.

It can be said that Xiao Qinshi’s determination to make Gu Tingye a waste is absolutely firm.

Princess Yan saw that Xiao Qin was only concerned with dealing with Gu Tingye but did not properly teach her own son Gu Tingwei, and thought she was too short-sighted.

If Gu Tingwei did not have real ability, he would not be able to go far even if he inherited the title of Ningyuan Marquis.

What's more, in the future, Ningyuan Marquis Mansion will only have Gu Tingwei to support it, and it will be difficult without the help of capable brothers.

The vampires in the fourth and fifth rooms have no other special abilities except for being a drag, and they have mastered the skill to perfection.

As time passed, the news that Princess Yan gave birth to twin sons on New Year's Eve made the whole city of Bianjing boil. Prince Yan was so excited that his face was flushed. He named his two sons Zhao Yang and Zhao Chen respectively.

The rewards from the palace flowed into the Prince of Yan's mansion like water. The Prince of Yong, who had no children so far, gritted his teeth. The emperor, who also had no children, was extremely envious. "The Prince of Yan and his wife are so lucky! In the past, everyone in Bianjing laughed at them for not having children, but now they already have three sons and one daughter!"

When it comes to the matter of offspring, no one around the emperor dares to advise him. After all, this has been a lifelong pain in the emperor's heart.

Among the royal family members today, the one with the most offspring is Prince Yan. Not to mention that Prince Yong has no children, Zhao Zongquan, who is far away in Yuzhou, has been married for many years but has no children. There are also rumors that he is impotent. People in Bianjing City have heard about this.

"What? Zhao Zongquan is impotent?" The emperor was incredulous when he heard this.

"Well, it's a good result for him to live out the rest of his life in Yuzhou." The emperor's voice was obscure, and his one sentence decided Zhao Zongquan's future.

Princess Yan knew that the emperor now wanted to choose the future heir from the royal family. Since Zhao Zongquan was out because he was destined to have no heirs, Prince Yong would most likely be out as well.

What's more, the Prince of Yan's Mansion had the merit of finding high-yield grain varieties before. No matter which factors are considered, the Prince of Yan is the most suitable to be the heir.

Princess Yan fed her twin sons one portion of wisdom pill, one portion of fitness pill, one portion of universal detoxification pill and one portion of beauty pill respectively.

Now, the older twins have begun to learn the secret of eternal youth from the puppet martial arts master hired by Princess Yan.

The Prince of Yan and his wife gave their eldest son Zhao Xu the nickname Zichang, and the nicknames of their two younger sons were taken from their eldest brother, namely Ziyang and Zitao.

In the days that followed, Princess Yan focused on managing the affairs of the palace and educating her children, while Prince Yan worked steadily in the court.

Ever since Prince Yong lost the child in Lvliu's belly, there has been no good news in Prince Yong's mansion. Over the years, Prince Yong has always believed that this is the retribution for killing his own child. He has become much more decadent and Buddhist. Now he loves to go to various Taoist temples to burn incense.

Princess Yong knew that she had only Princess Jiacheng as her child in this life, so she treated her with great pampering, raising Princess Jiacheng to be just as arrogant and suicidal as in the original plot.

Princess Yan watched with a smile as everything developed just as it did in the original plot, except that the original male protagonist's luck was getting lower and lower, and the original female protagonist had just lost her biological mother and younger brother and was about to go to Beijing.

Another eight years passed in a flash. Ziyang and Zitao were now nine years old, and the twins Zichang and Lingxi were already twelve years old. With the help of the Wisdom Pill and the Body-building Pill, as well as their own hard work, they were now the best among their peers. Compared with other adults, they could barely be considered both civil and military.

Over the years, the excellence of these children has been obvious to all in the entire Bianjing City, which makes the emperor very satisfied.

Princess Yan remotely saw with her own eyes through her spirit that the elderly emperor wrote down Prince Yan's name on the edict of succession, and she was completely relieved.

Princess Yan deliberately did not take care of Old Madam Sheng over the years, not so that Sheng Minglan could be raised by the only daughter of Marquis Yongyi, but so that Sheng Minglan and Young Master Qi would have the opportunity to get along and fall in love with each other.

If Sheng Minglan lost her family and love at the same time, she would definitely be very miserable!

Now Gu Tingye is also studying in the Sheng family. He and his concubine Man Niang have a son and a daughter. The whole Bianjing knows that his daughter Rongjie and son Changge are raised by his concubine Zhu Man Niang. Naturally, this is inseparable from Xiao Qinshi's publicity.

Gu Tingye has two children of this age and such a beloved concubine by his side, so his marriage is naturally extremely difficult. Which girl from a good family would be willing to marry him?

If it weren't for Gu Tingye's status as the son of Ningyuan Marquis, Madam Wang would never want to let this playboy have any contact with her own children.

Princess Yan observed that Changbai did not have a close relationship with Gu Tingye this time, which seemed to be because the original male protagonist's luck was running out.

Moreover, Gu Tingye is now unlearned. He has made no progress in the imperial examinations, and no one teaches him martial arts. He has become accustomed to a comfortable life with concubines and children around him, and he has lost his original ambition to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

Without his luck and the aura of the male protagonist, Gu Tingye is no different from other aristocratic dandies in Bianjing City.

Qi Heng and Sheng Minglan still fell in love. Old Madam Sheng also wanted to bring them together, but she was worried that Minglan's status would be looked down upon by the arrogant Princess Pingning.

Now Princess Jiacheng fell in love with Qi Heng at first sight again at the polo match. Princess Yan manipulated Rong Feiyan to get sick and miss the polo match that day, thus preventing her from falling in love with Qi Heng again.

This time, without Rong Feiyan to compete with her, Princess Jiacheng was even more determined to win over Qi Heng.

Over the years, Princess Jiacheng was the only child of Prince Yong and his wife. How could they not dote on her?

The Yong Wang couple, who always responded to Jiacheng County Lady's requests, were no exception this time. In their eyes, Qi Heng was indeed good and worthy of their daughter.

Prince Yong and his wife revealed their intention of getting married to the Duke of Qi's Mansion. Princess Pingning, who was worried about her son's entanglement with Sheng Minglan, was very happy.

Princess Jiacheng is of noble status, so it would be a good idea for her to be Qi Heng's legal wife. If he takes Sheng Minglan as a concubine, it would be the best of both worlds.

Unexpectedly, Qi Heng insisted on marrying Sheng Minglan. He was unwilling to let Minglan become a concubine, so he and Princess Pingning went on a hunger strike to express their protest.

Princess Pingning was so angry that she beat to death Buwei, the servant who delivered the message for Qi Heng and Sheng Minglan. Qi Heng finally weakened after seeing Buwei's death.

Princess Pingning gave Qi Heng a slap in the face and then gave him a sweet date. She needed to let Qi Heng know that it was not her who was forcing him, but the Prince Yong's Mansion.

"Yuan Ruo, Princess Jiacheng is the only daughter of Prince Yong and his wife. Whatever she wants, Prince Yong and his wife will agree to it. If you reject Princess Jiacheng for the sake of a concubine's daughter of a fifth-rank official, what will happen to Sheng Minglan and the Sheng family? Mother hopes you can figure it out! Mother does this in the hope that you will not sacrifice the Sheng family for this."

Princess Pingning appealed to Qi Heng's emotions and reason, and her appearance of caring about the safety of her son and Sheng Minglan really moved Qi Heng.

Now the decision is in Qi Heng's hands. He knows that no matter what choice he makes, it will hurt Minglan and cause her endless pain.

Princess Yan knew that Qi Heng would marry Princess Jiacheng in the end. Now Prince Yong knew that he had no chance of becoming emperor. Even if he rebelled and gained the throne, without a son, the throne would eventually fall into the hands of others.

Prince Yong, who was content to be a prince, stopped causing trouble and was very kind to Prince Yan's lineage. Therefore, as long as Prince Yong's Palace did not collapse, Princess Jiacheng would be able to live a stable life in the Duke of Qi's Palace.

Sure enough, ten days later, the news of Qi Heng and Princess Jiacheng's engagement spread throughout Bian Jing.

Sheng Minglan was very sad about this, and she was listless and refused to go out for some fresh air. Grandmother Sheng was worried about Minglan, so she decided to take her to Quanzhou so that she could register Minglan under the name of the eldest lady and become her legitimate daughter.
