The candles in Baizhi's courtyard burned all night.
Qin Baiwei also sat on the big red wedding bed all night.
Gan Cao came in with some water to wash her face. Seeing her young lady's pale face and dark circles under her eyes, she felt so distressed. She went up to help her remove her makeup and said, "Young lady, why do you have to embarrass yourself like this? I'll remove all your makeup for you. Young lady, go to sleep first. I just heard that the maid in Xueju has come over to tell the prince that the tea ceremony this morning will be cancelled."
Qin Baiwei let Gan Cao clean up for her in a daze.
Licorice put all the red dates, longans and peanuts on the bed aside, and helped her young lady lie down on the bed.
Qin Baiwei sat on the bed all night, her legs were numb and she didn't want to move at all, so Gancao served her.
She was lying on the wedding bed filled with mandarin ducks playing in the water, staring at the empty ceiling until her eyes hurt. She felt like a puppet with only her mouth opening and closing.
"Does he think I am being lowly in his eyes?"
Licorice didn't react for a moment to realize that her young lady was talking to her.
When she realized what was happening, she suddenly felt that her young lady was truly pitiful.
Wiping away tears, she advised: "Miss, please don't say that about yourself. You just like the prince too much. If you could like someone else, you wouldn't be so miserable. But what's wrong with liking someone?"
Qin Baiwei heard this and murmured again: "Yes, it would be great if I could find someone I like."
"What's wrong with liking someone?"
She seemed to comfort herself with these words, and she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Perhaps in order to comfort myself, I completely ignored the truth: in a relationship, if both parties are not in love and the one who is attracted is unwilling to let go, then one has to endure this suffering silently.
In every period of self-suffering, the only one who can redeem oneself is often oneself.
After returning from the hot spring villa, Pei Yi and Xie Zhichan planned to make a few sets of winter clothes, so they went to Qianyuan Pavilion clothing shop to take a look.
Pei Yi also wanted to go shopping with Xie Zhichan. A Yuan was really exhausted during those days in Lingnan.
Considering that it was her first time last night, he tried his best to restrain himself and only did it twice. In the next few days, he probably wouldn't let her get out of bed.
Let's take advantage of today to let her relax.
It was just unfortunate that I ran into Princess Anle and Lu Xiuzhu who were also looking at clothes in the shop.
As soon as Princess Anle saw Xie Zhichan, she subconsciously puffed out her belly, held Lu Xiuzhu's arm, raised her head, and the expression on her face was like a hen that had just won a cockfight in the arena.
Xie Zhichan just found it funny. Princess Anle didn't want Lu Xiuzhu to meet her, but she kept bringing people to hang around in front of her nose.
What’s even funnier is that at this moment, even if she straightened her waist, her belly was still “flat”.
When Lu Xiuzhu went to Lingnan, Xie Zhichan felt that something was wrong with his expression. He thought that Princess Anle, as Lu Xiuzhu said, had drugged him at that time, so he fled to Lingnan.
This person really only knows how to escape——
However, these had nothing to do with her. She didn't even care about Lu Xiuzhu. To be more precise, she had never cared about him.
She pretended not to see the two of them, took Pei Yi's hand and went to look at clothes.
Lu Xiuzhu felt embarrassed. It seemed like A Yuan really didn't care about him at all.
Looking at the tightly clasped hands, he clearly felt that the relationship between Pei Yi and A Yuan seemed to be different.
Lu Xiuzhu clenched his hand tightly at his side.
Princess Anle also felt the change in Lu Xiuzhu's mood. Her eyes were always on Lu Xiuzhu. Seeing him lose himself because of Xie Zhichan, she felt extremely angry. She was already pregnant with his child, but he was still thinking about someone else's wife!
She pulled Lu Xiuzhu's arm and said, "Let's go back."
Lu Xiuzhu pulled Princess Anle's hand off his wrist and kept looking at her, but didn't say a word.
He now understood why Princess Anle had to bring him to Qianyuan Pavilion's shop to look at clothes. It was just to show off her belly.
The funny thing is that Ayuan doesn’t care about these at all.
Princess Anle was not showing off, but dragging him along to play the clown.
He looked at her for a long time, then turned and walked out of the clothing shop. If he stayed here any longer, he would feel even more ridiculous.
Princess Anle looked at Lu Xiuzhu's back, touched her belly, and told herself: It doesn't matter, with this little guy in my belly, this person will have an inseparable relationship with me from now on.
After Lu Xiuzhu and Princess Anle returned to the Lu Mansion, Madam Lu was drinking tea in the front hall. Seeing Princess Anle, she said with some dissatisfaction: "Since the princess is pregnant, she should stay at home and take good care of the baby. Why are you running out?"
Unexpectedly, Princess Anle replied, "Old woman, stop meddling in my business." After saying that, she turned her head and walked towards the Xingzhi Courtyard.
Furious, Madam Lu stroked her chest, pointed with a trembling hand in the direction where Princess Anle left, and said to Lu Xiuzhu, "Brother Zhu, look at her. Is this how you usually discipline your wife?"
Seeing her grandmother's angry expression, Lu Xiuzhu said, "Grandma, isn't this the wife you asked me to marry?"
Madam Lu choked and looked at Lu Xiuzhu in disbelief. She asked in a calm voice, "Brother Zhu, are you blaming me?"
Seeing the wrinkles and gray-black age spots on his grandmother's face, Lu Xiuzhu couldn't bear it. He stretched out his hand to pinch her brows, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to Madam Lu: "Grandson dare not blame grandma. I will go back to my own courtyard first. Grandma, you should rest early."

A few days later, Xie Zhichan was checking the account books at home and saw Pei Yi coming back from work with a very unhappy look on his face. He asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen in the court again?" After all, this guy always left with a smile on his face before going to work every day recently.
Pei Yi put his official hat on the couch, picked out a casual dress from the closet, and said as he changed his clothes, "Princess Anle had a miscarriage. Princess Yongtai went to the emperor and said that you must have given Princess Anle an abortion drug. She had just been to your clothing store a few days ago, and she had a miscarriage today."
Xie Zhichan was stunned for a moment: "Can you blame me for this?"
Pei Yi snorted and said, "The princess means that only you would have this motive."
Xie Zhichan couldn't help but roll his eyes. He really didn't know what kind of logic was in the minds of this mother and daughter.
Then he asked, "What does the emperor say?"
"The Emperor invited the imperial physician to the Lu Mansion to check Princess Anle's pulse and found that there was no sign that Princess Anle had been drugged. The imperial physician said that her pregnancy was unstable and she was worried and depressed, which led to her miscarriage."
Xie Zhichan said helplessly: "So she is worried and depressed, and she is blaming me for that?"
Pei Yi buttoned up his uniform himself, put the tiger-head jade-buckled belt in Xie Zhichan's hand, motioned her to tie it for him, and said, "The emperor is still waiting for your year-end commercial tax to fill his treasury, so he won't do anything to you. Just send the princess back."
Xie Zhichan nodded. Pei Yi probably just told her this as a piece of gossip. It was just that he suddenly got into trouble and felt so wronged that he came back with a grim look on his face.
