After rebirth, the abstinent prince wants to marry me every day

"Your Majesty is taking the noble ladies and concubines to the temporary palace this time. You must also go!"

The Wen Anhou family was currently sitting in the main hall having dinner. Not only Aunt Qu and her daughter were there today, but even Zhu Yiqing had returned home from the academy holiday.

Zhu Qing'an also received the imperial edict. Not only her, but even other noble ladies had to go.

"It was the same in previous years. Your Majesty would go to the palace to soak in hot springs when winter came! But it seems that the ladies didn't need to go in previous years!" Zhu Qing'an took small sips of the dinner. It still didn't taste good, but because he drank the medicine prescribed by Yang Chaoyan, he didn't vomit as badly as before.

Aunt Qu took a look and placed a bowl of clear soup next to Zhu Qing'an. She had been paying attention to Zhu Qing'an's situation. Even tonight's dinner was made by Aunt Qu herself. Most of them were light meals without any greasy food.

"Prince Zhongyi is not in Ancheng now, so the Queen Mother and I cannot go with you on this hot spring trip. You must be careful!" Marquis Wen'an instructed.

Perhaps Zhu Qing'an herself does not hold great power and seems unimportant, but she is a family member of the Queen Mother and Marquis Wen'an. If something happens to Zhu Qing'an, it will inevitably cause a huge blow to the two of them.

"My daughter understands!" Zhu Qing'an nodded. She naturally knew the seriousness of the situation. Even the ministers in the court were becoming more and more nervous, and those who should take sides seemed to have secretly taken sides.

"Bai Wei will also go to the hot spring palace this time! Bai Wei must take good care of your elder sister, understand?" Aunt Qu looked at her daughter beside her and instructed her carefully.

Zhu Baiwei nodded and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. I will definitely take good care of my elder sister!"

"Aunt, don't scare her. She just wants to have fun this time!" Zhu Qing'an said, and personally picked up a piece of lotus root slice for Zhu Baiwei and Zhu Yiqing.

"Thank you, elder sister!" Zhu Yiqing held the bowl. He had been at the academy all this time, but that didn't mean he didn't know what was going on in the mansion. He knew that his aunt and sister lived such a comfortable life thanks to the elder sister's care. In fact, even the power to manage the household was deliberately given to the aunt by the elder sister.

Even he himself often received pens, ink, paper, inkstone, clothes and food from his elder sister at the college. Every time, his elder sister even prepared some for his classmates. Those things were extremely valuable. It was because of his elder sister's care that he was not bullied by his classmates and was even able to make many friends.

"I heard that you study very hard in college and read until late at night! Studying hard is good, but you also have to take care of your eyes and body!" Zhu Qing'an said with concern.

These words moved Zhu Yiqing even more. Aunt Qu secretly wiped her eyes, while Marquis Wen'an looked a little guilty.

As a father, he is not as good as his daughter, the elder sister.

"Thank you for your concern, elder sister. I remember everything you said, but I also want to be your support!" Zhu Yiqing looked solemn.

This surprised Zhu Qing'an. She didn't expect that her third brother, who seemed to be introverted and taciturn, would have such thoughts.

"Your idea is right. You are the only son in the mansion. From now on, you will be the support of Qing'an and Bai Wei. Naturally, you have to work harder!" Wen Anhou cleared his throat and said.

This statement surprised everyone, but they also felt it made sense.

Marquis Wen'an's words were a tacit agreement, and he was also telling Zhu Yiqing that the position of Marquis of the Marquisate would be given to Zhu Yiqing in the future.

Although Zhu Yiqing was a bastard's son, he was the only son of Marquis Wen'an.

"My son wants to pass the imperial examination!" Zhu Yiqing showed no joy at all, but said stubbornly.

Over the years, he has not felt his father's love, nor has he cared about it. Now that he has the opportunity to study and learn from great scholars, he wants to make a career with his own abilities, rather than becoming a child of a wealthy family who relies on his father's protection.

Marquis Wen'an looked at his son, was stunned for a moment at first, and then smiled happily.

"Good! Good!" Wen Anhou patted his son's shoulder. "I'm very pleased that you have such ambitions!"

Zhu Qing'an looked at the happy scene in front of him and felt very comfortable. At this moment, they were a family and they all cared about each other. If a family wanted to prosper, it had to work together.

"Father!" Zhu Qing'an personally scooped a bowl of soup for his father, and then said, "There is no hostess in the mansion now. I can't always let my daughter go to the noble families to make friends!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone understood what Zhu Qingan meant.

Marquis Wen'an had never expected that his daughter wanted him to remarry. Of course, since he divorced his wife, many noble ladies from aristocratic families wanted to be Marquis Wen'an's remarriage, but they were all rejected by Marquis Wen'an.

Aunt Qu looked calm. She never expected anything and knew that there would be a new lady in the Wen'an Marquis's mansion.

Although Zhu Baiwei and Zhu Yiqing felt a little bad for their aunt, as illegitimate children since childhood, they also understood that the family must have a head lady. However, they were afraid that if their father married a new wife, if she was difficult to deal with, the fate of the three of them might not be good.

"Well, there's no need to rush. Aunt Qu is doing a great job now!" Marquis Wen'an refused.

He didn't want to marry another woman into the mansion at all. Moreover, he had been getting along very well with Concubine Qu these days. Marquis Wen'an was not a promiscuous person and didn't want to cause so much trouble. He also wanted to make up to Concubine Qu from the bottom of his heart.

"Auntie did a good job, but after all, it's not right and just because of the wrong words!" Zhu Qing'an insisted.

Wen Anhou gave a dry laugh. He was always reluctant to put on a stern face in front of his daughter, but he was also unwilling to compromise.

It was Concubine Qu who spoke up again, "My Lord, the princess is right. This mansion cannot be without a mistress. I'm fine with being the housekeeper for now, but I'm afraid I'll be criticized if I stay in this position for too long!"

Concubine Qu wasn't afraid. With the new wife coming into the house, she could just stay in Qu Garden as usual. Fortunately, her daughter had found a lover and would be married in a few years, and her son was also successful, so she had nothing to worry about.

"Everything is fine now. I have no intention of marrying anyone new!" Marquis Wen'an explained to Concubine Qu.

"Father, what you said is not appropriate. What should we do now? I didn't ask you to marry a new man. What I meant was that we should promote Concubine Qu to be the main wife!" Zhu Qing'an said.

"what?"

These words caused Concubine Qu's expression to change. She had never expected Zhu Qing'an to mean this, and she quickly refused, "This is inappropriate, inappropriate, how can I be a concubine?"

At this time, Zhu Yiqing and his sister also understood Zhu Qing'an's thoughts. As they felt warm in their hearts, they felt more and more that their elder sister was a benefactor to them and their son.

"Why not? My aunt is smart and calm in dealing with people. She manages the mansion in an orderly manner and has a son and a daughter. There is nothing wrong with promoting her as the official concubine!" Zhu Qing'an analyzed.

She saw that her father and Concubine Qu got along very well, and Concubine Qu acted like a legitimate wife, so Zhu Qing'an was most relieved to hand over the backyard of Marquis Wen'an's mansion to her.

If he really married a new bride into the mansion, I'm afraid the Wen'an Marquis's mansion would be in chaos.

"I also think what Qing'an said is right. I have treated you unfairly over the years, and now it's time to make it up to you!" After considering it, Marquis Wen'an accepted his daughter's suggestion.

Wen Anhou used to have his heart full of Shui Shiyu, but after being heartbroken, he looked back and realized how good Concubine Qu was. He didn't want to get involved with other women anymore. He just wanted the two of them to live a good life, support each other and grow old together.

"How can I be promoted to be the principal wife since I don't have a distinguished family background?" Aunt Qu still refused. She had never hoped for it, but she was also afraid that she would not do well and become a laughing stock.

"My mother is from a merchant family, and the Marquis Wen'an's Mansion does not need support from a woman's family. What's more, if Aunt doesn't consider herself, she should also consider my second sister and third brother. In the future, my second sister will be the second daughter and my third brother will be the legitimate son, which will be beneficial to them!" Zhu Qing'an advised.

This made Aunt Qu hesitate, and Zhu Baiwei and Zhu Yiqing tried even harder to control their emotions. They didn't expect that their eldest sister would even consider these things for them.

In other families, legitimate daughters would bully and oppress their half-brothers and sisters in various ways, but only their eldest sister had such a broad mind.

"Princess!" Aunt Qu suddenly stood up and knelt at Zhu Qing'an's feet. Zhu Qing'an hurriedly supported her.

"I will always remember the princess's great kindness!" Aunt Qu shed tears. Who would have thought that the person who planned things for her was a child.

"I will prepare for this matter. From now on, our family just needs to be well!" Wen Anhou laughed and felt that the atmosphere in the mansion was getting better and better.

Today, Marquis Wen'an can't wait to return home as soon as he finishes his official business. Looking at his considerate and gentle aunt and his well-behaved children, Marquis Wen'an suddenly feels that he was really confused in the past.

Everyone enjoyed the meal happily. After Aunt Qu returned to Qu Garden, she called her two children to her side.

The Zhu Baiwei siblings in front of them looked delighted. They didn't care whether they could become legitimate sons or daughters, but they were happy for their aunt from the bottom of their hearts. As long as their aunt became the principal wife, their future life would get better and better.

"Based on what the princess and your father said today, I'm afraid I'll be promoted to the principal wife in the future!" Aunt Qu said.

"Congratulations, aunt! No, from now on I can finally call you mother!" Zhu Baiwei was a little excited.

Compared to the two children, Aunt Qu's expression was normal. She held the hands of one child each and said earnestly, "I have such a good life now. Bai Wei, you are honored among the noble ladies of Ancheng, and Yi Qing can enter the academy. This is all thanks to the princess. The princess is a benefactor to us, a benefactor we should repay even if we work like slaves!"

"We understand what Auntie said. We all remember the kindness of my elder sister. I will definitely repay her in the future!" Zhu Yiqing swore secretly.

"From now on, the princess's affairs must be given priority. If the princess encounters any gossip, you must stand on her side. Do you understand?" Aunt Qu asked.

"Of course!" Zhu Baiwei and her brother said in unison.

Only then did Aunt Qu feel relieved. What worried her most now was Zhu Qing'an's pregnancy, and she even couldn't sleep at night.

"Bai Wei, you have to be careful at the Hot Spring Palace in a few days. The princess is not feeling well now, so don't play around too much. You have to serve the princess every day! Otherwise, someone with ulterior motives will take advantage of you!" Aunt Qu warned.

Zhu Baiwei didn't quite understand why her aunt was so cautious, but she knew that her aunt wouldn't do anything without a purpose, so she naturally agreed.

Zhu Qing'an didn't know that Aunt Qu had thought so much. After she returned to Yongfu Courtyard, she asked Wangshu to pack up her things.

"The hot springs over at the palace are very nourishing. It would be nice for the princess to go and soak in them!" Wangshu said with a smile as he packed his things.

Zhu Qing'an nodded, but for some reason she always had a bad feeling, and she didn't know if it was because she was thinking too much.

"Bring more people with you when you go, just in case!" Zhu Qing'an instructed.

Wangshu nodded. At this moment, Fuguang came back from outside the mansion. The first thing he did was to go to Zhu Qing'an's room and waved his hand to let the maidservants leave first.

"Princess, there is news from Lingzhou!" Fu Guang reported.

"But something happened at my grandfather's house?" Zhu Qing'an asked worriedly. Although she had returned to Ancheng, her contact with her grandfather's family had never been interrupted. A few days ago, her uncle sent someone to deliver some beautiful clothes and jewelry, which were obviously prepared by her two aunts.

"Everything is fine in Shuifu, but something happened to your mother!" Fu Guang said with some embarrassment.

Now, no one knows how to address Shui Shiyu. She is no longer the legitimate wife of Marquis Wen'an. After the divorce, she couldn't wait to marry into the Yang Mansion, completely disregarding everyone's opinions on the matter, and not even afraid of affecting the reputation of Marquis Wen'an and Zhu Qing'an.

Moreover, during these days, after Shui Shiyu left, he didn't even say a word to care about his daughter, as if he had never given birth to this daughter.

"Oh?" After hearing this, Zhu Qing'an's nervous mood instantly calmed down, and he even felt a little indifferent.

It's no wonder she's cold-hearted. She was truly heartbroken by her mother. Since the divorce, her mother hasn't worried about her at all.

She knew a little about what happened after her mother married into the Yang family. Fortunately, she rarely attended banquets now, otherwise she would have heard a lot of gossip.

"After Madam married into the Yang Mansion, everything was fine at first. She and Old Man Yang lived in harmony for a while! But now the Yang Mansion has been in decline. Madam used to receive money from the mansion to subsidize her, but after the princess took her things back, the Yang Mansion has long been weak. Madam is used to extravagance and wants the best food, clothing, and daily necessities. She didn't bring any money from the Marquis' Mansion, so her life has been getting worse and worse. Moreover, there are many concubines in the backyard of the Yang Mansion. I heard that they are fighting with Madam!"

Although Zhu Qing'an didn't see it with his own eyes, he could imagine his mother's embarrassment. With her personality, there was no way she would fight with a woman.

She had long known that when the white moonlight turned into mosquito blood, all emotions would be consumed.

"This is the path she chose herself, so she has to bear the consequences!" Zhu Qing'an had no intention of helping, even though that person was his own mother.

"It's just that the Madam went to the Water Residence a few days ago and wanted them to help the Yang Residence, which made the two elders very angry! But this time, the two elders kicked the Madam out and ignored her!"

Zhu Qing'an narrowed his eyes. Everyone would be disappointed, including his grandparents.

My mother originally had a life that others envied, but unfortunately she didn't cherish it, and her current fate is what she deserves.
