I married the crippled queen and became the most favored queen in the capital

"But...but I'm really afraid that if I marry two concubines, he will no longer care about me."

"You are the principal wife, what are you afraid of? Even if he takes eight concubines, you still have the final say in Prince Xing's Mansion."

"But……"

"Okay, Xiaoman, you are too soft-hearted. You have to remember that if he dares to attack you with words again, you have to learn to fight back. If he says something unpleasant, you have to say something even more unpleasant. Don't be a weak little white rabbit. Also, if you have nothing to do, you can study cooking and make more delicious food. If you have nothing to do, dance or play the piano. Just don't look at him too much, understand?"

Shang Xiaoman looked up at her, not quite understanding.

"is this okay?"

"This tactic is called playing hard to get. Whether it works or not, you won't know until you try it first."

Shang Xiaoman said "oh" and stood up from the chair.

"Then I'll go back first. I'll have to bother you again in the future."

Luo Nianxi also stood up from her chair and nodded in response.

"If you have any questions, just come to me anytime."

Shang Xiaoman nodded to her, lifted her skirt and walked out of the main hall. Luo Nianxi frowned and called out to the people outside:

"Someone is coming..."

The new housekeeper Shunzi rushed in.

"Princess, what do you want?"

"Has the prince received any letter? Will you be back tonight?"

"No letter. I guess I should be back soon."

"Well, I'll find two smart maids in the mansion to help Chuntao take care of the young master."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

"besides……"

Shunzi was about to turn around when he heard her calling him. He stopped and turned around to ask:

"What else do you want, princess?"

"The prince is back. Tell him to come to Yanjing Palace to find me. I have something important to discuss with him."

"The slave understands."

After leaving these words, Shunzi turned around and left. There was suddenly a hint of melancholy between Luo Nianxi's brows.

Mo Xiaowan’s words yesterday still bothered her, so today she wanted to ask Leng Yiyan in person. She didn’t like to keep things to herself.

After dinner, Leng Yiyan returned to Prince Yan's Mansion exhausted. Shunzi reported Luo Nianxi's words truthfully. He did not have time to change his battle robe and went straight to Yan Jing Palace.

"Miss..."

The moment he pushed the door open, he couldn't wait to shout:

"My lady, do you have something to ask me?"

He hadn't been back for two days, fearing that something might have happened to her.

Luo Nianxi came out from the inner room. When she saw that he was dusty and exhausted, she stepped forward with heartache and helped him take off his armor while scolding him:

"Why don't you change your clothes before coming back? These clothes are so heavy."

"I was afraid that you would miss me if I came back too late, and I wouldn't have time to change. Besides, I'm used to wearing it, so it doesn't feel heavy anymore."

After saying this, he hung the armor he had taken off on the hanger, and while tidying up his clothes, he asked curiously:

"Shunzi said you had something to ask me, what is it?"

She was silent for a while, looking at his tired appearance, but ultimately did not ask.

"Nothing, I just missed you since you haven't been home for two days."

He raised his hand, pinched her cheek, and asked lovingly:

"Miss your husband?"

She nodded.

"Yeah, I thought about it."

He raised his hand to hug her with great joy, but quickly took it away.

"I'll go take a shower first and come back to accompany you."

After leaving these words, he couldn't wait to go out. Luo Nianxi shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

She felt that she was too gullible. How could she trust an outsider who doubted her husband?

She should know better than anyone what kind of person he is.

Would he be upset if he knew she doubted him?

The two thoughts kept lingering in her mind, making her very conflicted.

About half an hour later, Leng Yiyan changed into clean clothes and appeared in front of her.

"My dear, it's clean now. I can hug you now."

He opened his arms and she threw herself into his arms, hugging his waist tightly like a frightened little rabbit, muttering,

"Why haven't you come back in two days?"

He hugged her and explained apologetically:

"The war in the south has begun. I must intensify my military training and be ready to go there to provide support at any time..."

She asked worriedly,

"Is there going to be a war?"

"Yes, but when to go depends on the will of the emperor."

"Are you going to lead the troops yourself?"

"Well, two generals have died on the battlefield in Southern Xinjiang. Father is worried that if things continue like this, they won't be able to hold on, so he ordered me to speed up the training of new soldiers and will probably send me out to fight."

"Will it take long?"

She held his waist tightly with both hands, as if she was afraid of losing him, and continued to ask,

"Southern Xinjiang is very far from here!"

"It will take at least half a year to lead the troops forward. Pingyang has been fighting a protracted war with them for ten years. Father's intention is that this expedition should end this protracted war."

Hearing this, Luo Nianxi couldn't help but take a breath.

It takes a year to go back and forth, not counting the time spent in war. If the war really lasts for three to five years, wouldn't she not be able to see him for several years?

Perhaps sensing her change in mood, he raised his hand and patted her back, whispering to her in comfort:

"Soldiers have to go to the battlefield. There is nothing we can do about it. But you don't have to worry about me. I am a general known as the God of War who has won every battle. I can definitely repel the enemy and return victorious..."

Having said that, he himself was actually very unsure.

He just wanted to comfort her because he didn't want her to worry.

At this moment, she began to think about having a child for him before he went to the war. Otherwise, it would take several years for him to come back. During this period, she would raise two children and let them accompany her, so time might pass faster.

As she thought about this, she decided not to take birth control pills after today.

She raised her head, stood on tiptoe, pecked his chin lightly, and then whispered,

"Husband, let's have a baby!"

As soon as she said this, Leng Yiyan's breathing suddenly became rapid.

He lowered his head, kissed her forehead, and nodded.

"Really? Are you really willing to give birth to a child for me?"

"Well, I'm pregnant tonight..."

He nodded excitedly, then bent down, picked her up and ran to the bed.

He seemed to have known that the reason she couldn't get pregnant was not because of her health, but because she didn't want to.

Tonight she said she was willing to give birth to his child, how could he not be excited?

He couldn't wait to shake his hand, and when the bed curtain slowly fell, he gently took off her clothes and held her in his arms. She shyly wanted to avoid his burning gaze, but in the process of avoiding and his constant temptation, she approached his face again and again...

In this bedroom that belonged to the two of them, bursts of sweet sounds could be heard continuously...

After a night of fighting, Luo Nianxi felt very tired. It was not until the warm morning sun shone into the room that she slowly opened her eyes.

She felt around, but there was no trace of Leng Yiyan. Even the place where he had slept was cold.

It seems that he left a long time ago.

Last night, when he heard that she was going to give birth to his child, he worked really hard and took her three times in a row. He was not tired, but she felt tired.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Princess, something bad has happened..."
