The Emperor's daughter seeks power to marry the legitimate daughter and becomes the emperor

"My minister retire."

Nanny Zheng Yu, who was standing nearby, noticed the way Qin Yan looked at Weng Ruoyun, and knew that he was in love. She didn't want to disturb him, so she left the boudoir with the imperial physician to get a prescription for pregnancy-preserving medicine.

After the imperial physician Xu Cheng and Nanny Zheng left, Qin Yan smiled and reached out to touch Weng Ruoyun's flat belly.

Qin Yan's eyes were full of expectation, and he gave Weng Ruoyun a deep kiss on the forehead.

"Queen, you must know that no matter what I do in the future, it will be for the safety of the country."

After Qin Yan kissed Weng Ruoyun, he made a promise to her in words.

"Empress, I will do my best to ensure that our legitimate prince is born safely, and you will be my first wife."

Qin Yan knelt on one knee, held Weng Ruoyun's hand, and spoke to her sincerely.

"I can give all rights and honors to the Queen of Lizheng Palace."

Qin Yan said so much and finally spoke his true feelings to Weng Ruoyun.

"But I don't want the daughter of a powerful official to give birth to a prince. Unless your father returns half of the tiger talisman to the court, can you go and persuade your father-in-law?"

Qin Yan looked at Weng Ruoyun, and his words seemed to be begging Weng Ruoyun?

"I'm sleepy, good night."

Weng Ruoyun heard that Qin Yan said so much and wanted her to go to Weng Yan to get the tiger talisman back, so she pretended to be sleepy and avoided the subject.

"Okay, I'll hold you and let you rest!"

Qin Yan watched Weng Ruoyun fall asleep. Thinking she was sound asleep, Qin Yan told her what he had to do. He stroked her belly, which was not yet pregnant, and became more and more entangled and reluctant!

"Queen, please don't let me use you. As long as you are pregnant with my child, it will be Weng Yan's weakness. You are her only legitimate daughter, and I have no choice but to use you!"

Qin Yan told Weng Ruoyun that he had no choice but to use her!

Little did he know that Weng Ruoyun was just pretending to be asleep and she heard everything Qin Yan said.

Weng Ruoyun pushed away Qin Yan's hand on her abdomen, turned her back to him and shed tears of disappointment!

"You... the Queen was not asleep just now?"

Seeing Weng Ruoyun's reaction, Qin Yan was obviously a little flustered and hurriedly hugged her in his arms.

"Why should I be your sacrifice? Why should my child be your sacrifice for Weng Yan's half tiger talisman? What right do you have to decide the life and death of me and my child?"

When Weng Ruoyun heard what Qin Yan had just said, she was so angry that she cried and questioned him. She stood up, picked up the pillow, and kept throwing it at his face.

"Stop it." Qin Yan was fed up with Weng Ruoyun's nonsense and grabbed the soft pillow and scolded her.

"Snapped!"

Seeing that Weng Ruoyun did not stop, Qin Yan slapped her in the face.

"You hit me? I won't marry you, and I don't want the child anymore!"

Qin Yan was furious and slapped Weng Ruoyun on the face, causing her ears to buzz.

Weng Ruoyun had never been beaten by her parents since she was a child. She burst into tears and stood up to run away from her room!

"I……"

Qin Yan wanted to say something but stopped himself. Looking at the right hand that had just hit Weng Ruoyun's face, he felt a little regretful and hurriedly caught up with her.

"Queen, where are you going in the middle of the night?"

Qin Yan hugged Weng Ruoyun's thin body, his tone sounding a little guilty and regretful.

"Let me go. I haven't even married you yet, but you've already abused and beaten me. If you don't like me, just let me go. My dad...my dad never beat me since I was a child. Why do you beat me?"

Weng Ruoyun reached out her hand to wipe away her tears, feeling wronged. She recalled that in modern times, no matter how she quarreled with her father and mother, they never beat her. But Qin Yan beat her twice!

"I was wrong. Can I apologize to the Queen?"

Qin Yan knew that he shouldn't do anything. It was inevitable that Weng Ruoyun would have a bad temper as she was pregnant.

Qin Yan was also afraid that Weng Yan would find out that he had beaten Weng Ruoyun before their marriage. Wouldn't that make the matter known to the court?

"You can beat me or scold me, but don't leave tonight. It's cold in winter and I won't let you go out!"

Qin Yan hugged Weng Ruoyun tightly. Although his tone was full of guilt, he would never let Weng Ruoyun step out of the boudoir.

He was afraid that Weng Yan would find out and hurt their relationship, and he was afraid that he would make a fool of himself if he hit Weng's legitimate daughter!

Weng Ruoyun pulled away his hands from around her body and was about to slap him in the face.

Weng Ruoyun also thought of the ancient times when Qin Zhen was the emperor, and even though he was unhappy, he did not dare to hit the emperor.

"I don't want my child to be without a father!"

Weng Ruoyun knew that hitting the emperor would have serious consequences, so she stopped throwing tantrums and instead pouted her lips, said something stern, and walked away from the couch.

"Queen, you are not allowed to walk by yourself while I am here."

Seeing Weng Ruoyun throwing a tantrum like a child, Qin Yan was somewhat satisfied and smiled. He quickly walked forward and picked up Weng Ruoyun.

"Does it still hurt?"

Qin Yan placed Weng Ruoyun on the couch, then reached out and gently stroked her red and swollen cheek.

Qin Yan gave Weng Ruoyun a passionate kiss on her red and swollen left cheek.

"Don't hit me anymore. If you do, I won't want you anymore."

Feeling Qin Yan's apologetic attitude, Weng Ruoyun was no longer angry with him.

Weng Ruoyun smiled and stretched out her arms, wrapping them around Qin Yan's neck, touching his beautifully curved thin lips like a chick pecking at rice.

"Ayun is pregnant, so you should rest early. I will return to the palace three to five days before the New Year to prepare for your marriage."

Qin Xun passed by Weng Ruoyun's ear and gently called her "Ayun".

Qin Yan told Weng Ruoyun that he would return to the palace in a few days and just wanted to hug her more.

"So I called you Ah-Qian?"

When Qin Yan called him "Ayun", Weng Ruoyun felt that they were one step closer, so she gave him a friendly nickname.

"Didn't I tell you three years ago? Call me Brother Zhen, please again, okay?"

Hearing Weng Ruoyun's question, Qin Yan wondered why she was so forgetful.

Qin Yan stretched out his warm palm and gently touched Weng Ruoyun's hair, wanting to hear her call him Brother Yan again.

"You are almost going to be the Queen Mother, can you please call me Brother Qin again?"

Qin Yan lay on his side next to Weng Ruoyun, his right hand habitually stroking her belly, his tone still doting on her as he hugged her.

"Like you remember my name? I want to hear you repeat it, okay?"

Weng Ruoyun held Qin Yan's hands on her abdomen and tested Qin Yan with a sweet smile.

"The Queen doesn't remember me, but I remember the Queen. Her surname is Weng, her given name is Ruoyun, and her courtesy name is Ayun."

Qin Yan said it without thinking, stretched out his right hand, covered her hand with his palm, and wrote the name "Weng Ruoyun" on his chest with his index finger.

Qin Yan looked at Weng Ruoyun's hair again and found that she was not wearing the white jade hairpin he had given her. The gentleness on his handsome face faded a little, and he asked her.

"Where is the white jade hairpin with twelve dragons and phoenixes that I gave you? Why haven't I seen you wearing it these past few days? I carved that jade hairpin myself. Do you think the token of love I gave you is not valuable enough?"

Qin Yan recalled that during the few days he and Weng Ruoyun were in the provincial government, he didn't seem to have seen her wearing that white jade hairpin.

"I forgot where I put it."

Weng Ruoyun remembered that jade hairpin with dragon and phoenix carvings on it, but it seemed that it had not appeared since Dongfang Li carved words on its back?

Weng Ruoyun was afraid that Qin Yan would suspect her and Dongfang Li again, so she made up an excuse to get away with it.

"I want to see Ayun's beautiful back?"

Qin Yan still noticed that when he mentioned the white jade hairpin, Weng Ruoyun unconsciously shrank her neck. This was her subconscious habit when she was afraid.

Qin Yan recalled that he didn't know when it started, but every time he touched Weng Ruoyun, although he couldn't help himself during the lovemaking, she had never let him see her back a few times.

"What's so good about the back? If you want to see it, just look at the face. My husband is so handsome~~~"

Weng Ruoyun didn't know that Qin Yan was fine, so why did she want to look at her back?

Weng Ruoyun was afraid that Qin Yan would discover the words Dongfang Li had carved on her back, so she quickly lay down and tightened her collar.

Weng Ruoyun felt guilty when she spoke, and she didn't dare to look directly at Qin Yan. She just said casually, "If you want to see, just look at the face!"

"Listen, let me see, okay?
