After rebirth, the abstinent prince wants to marry me every day
Chapter 120: Knowing She's Pregnant
"what!"
Inside the mansion of Marquis Wen'an, a loud shout was suddenly heard from Qu Garden.
"Marquis, what's wrong with you?" Aunt Qu hurried forward and saw Marquis Wen'an holding a letter, with an expression that was unclear whether it was great sadness or great joy.
The usually steady and gentle man now looked both amused and helpless, even gnashing his teeth and feeling a bit helpless.
Aunt Qu had never seen Marquis Wen'an in this state before, and she felt that something particularly big might have happened, and she couldn't help but feel worried.
Marquis Wen'an held the letter in his hand and then punched the desk.
"Marquis, what are you doing?" Aunt Qu stepped forward and hurriedly grasped Marquis Wen'an's fist, fearing that he would hurt her.
Marquis Wen'an looked at Aunt Qu, with a hint of frustration in his eyes.
"Qing'an..." Marquis Wen'an didn't even know how to start. She was his most beloved daughter, but such a thing happened to her.
Aunt Qu's heart suddenly rose to her throat, thinking that Zhu Qing'an was in some danger.
"What's wrong with the princess? My Lord, please tell me quickly!" Aunt Qu urged, even with a hint of anxiety and command in her words.
However, at this time, Marquis Wen'an did not notice that there was something wrong with Concubine Qu's tone. After spending these days together, he had developed some feelings for Concubine Qu.
"Qing'an is actually pregnant!" Wen'an Hou said, and the letter in his hand was placed heavily on the desk.
But after hearing this, Aunt Qu felt relieved. She thought Zhu Qing'an was in some danger and was just pregnant.
Moreover, Aunt Qu had known about this matter for a long time, but she did not expect that it would be known so quickly.
"She hasn't been engaged yet! She hasn't even gotten married yet! How come she's pregnant? Tell me, why is this kid acting so crazy?" Wen Anhou scolded over and over again.
However, he was not scolding his own daughter at all, and his words were full of worry for her.
Aunt Qu carefully observed Marquis Wen'an's expression and realized that he was not unhappy or ashamed because of his daughter's pregnancy, so she felt a little relieved.
One has to admit that as Zhu Qing'an's father, Marquis Wen'an is undoubtedly an extremely outstanding father.
"It must be the King of Loyalty who bewitched Qing'an. That bastard! What a bastard! I'm going to kill him!" Marquis Wen'an said as he prepared to grab a knife.
Aunt Qu hurriedly followed. It was obvious that before this, Marquis Wen'an had mentioned to Aunt Qu that Prince Zhongyi was a good match, and that after everything was settled, he could give his daughter to Prince Zhongyi.
Now with this sudden change in attitude, even Aunt Qu felt at a loss.
"Marquis! Have you forgotten that the King of Loyalty is not in Ancheng now?" Aunt Qu advised softly. At this time, Marquis Wen'an had already drawn out a long sword.
Marquis Wen'an had never practiced martial arts and had never wielded a sword in his life, but at this moment he was so angry about his daughter's pregnancy that he drew his sword. It can be seen how panicked he was inside.
"Yes, he is not in Ancheng. I will kill him when he comes back!" Wen Anhou threw down his sword and fell into the chair.
Aunt Qu picked up the sword, closed the scabbard, and knelt beside Marquis Wen'an.
"My Lord, please calm down. You should understand the princess's personality. If the princess doesn't want to, even Marquis Wen'an can't force her!" Aunt Qu whispered.
Aunt Qu understood Zhu Qing'an's thoughts best, so she naturally wanted to comfort Marquis Wen'an to prevent him from having any misunderstandings.
"You mean, Qing'an volunteered?" Wen'an Hou looked unconvinced.
Although he knew that his daughter had always been unconventional and had the demeanor of a queen mother, he did not expect that his daughter was even more vigorous than her aunt. The fact that she was pregnant before marriage was simply appalling.
"My Lord, I have to say something unpleasant. The princess has always had her own rules for doing things. I believe that the princess is not such a foolish woman! My Lord should also trust the princess. Now that the princess is pregnant, everyone knows about it. If you, as a father, cannot stand behind the princess and support her, those rumors will definitely hurt her!" Aunt Qu advised softly.
Marquis Wen'an was originally filled with rage, but now after listening to Aunt Qu's analysis, he calmed down.
Marquis Wen'an has always been wise, but he became panic-stricken when faced with his daughter's affairs.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Marquis Wen'an looked at Aunt Qu with scrutiny in his eyes.
Although Marquis Wen'an had known that Concubine Qu was sensible, well-behaved and gentle, and also knew that Concubine Qu had some female intelligence, it was only after hearing Concubine Qu's words that Marquis Wen'an realized that Concubine Qu was actually open-minded.
Aunt Qu lowered her head slightly. She always liked to hide her shortcomings in order to protect herself and avoid trouble.
Therefore, even though she is the only mistress of Marquis Wen'an, she has never shown her abilities. But now, for Zhu Qing'an, Concubine Qu is unwilling to hide her abilities.
"The Marquis Wen'an's Mansion is wealthy and powerful, and the princess is a princess. Even if she is pregnant, so what? With you and the Queen Mother, if the princess is happy to get married and is willing to be with the Prince of Loyalty, it will be a good marriage. But if the princess is not willing, can't the huge Marquis Wen'an Mansion be a support for the princess and the child in her belly?" Aunt Qu Kaikai said.
"I never thought that you understand Qing'an better than I, your father!" Marquis Wen'an sighed and had to admit that what Aunt Qu thought was right.
"From today on, if any rumors are spread in the mansion, they will be severely punished!" Wen Anhou ordered. He believed that Concubine Qu would be able to handle this matter well.
After all, the Wen'an Marquis Mansion, which was once loose and chaotic, has now become well-organized and well-regulated under the management of Aunt Qu.
"I understand!" A hint of coldness flashed in Aunt Qu's eyes. She would naturally not let any unpleasant words come from the mansion. Before the princess returned home, she had to build the mansion so that the princess would not have any worries and could rest assured to take care of her pregnancy.
"As you said, it doesn't matter if I have to raise my daughter and my grandson for their entire lives! I'm happy to do that!" Wen Anhou suddenly understood.
Fame and reputation were unimportant. Furthermore, the Wen'an Marquisate had always been considered unique in the eyes of the world.
Their Wen'an Marquis Mansion had its first empress dowager in power. Hadn't they suffered enough bullying over the years? This little bit was not enough.
What's more, if Marquis Wen'an couldn't even protect his own children, then all these years would have been lived in vain.
"The princess will definitely be very happy to have such an open-minded father like you!" Aunt Qu deliberately praised Marquis Wen'an and said nice things.
At this time, Marquis Wen'an stretched out his hand and gently embraced Concubine Qu in his arms.
Aunt Qu was stunned for a moment, then she relaxed and leaned weakly in Marquis Wen'an's arms.
There were very few such tender moments between her and Marquis Wen'an, and Concubine Qu had always been aware of her own identity. Even now, when she leaned in Marquis Wen'an's arms, she did not show any attachment or obsession.
At this moment, the scene inside the Cining Palace was quite different.
After reading the letter, the Queen Mother first let out a long laugh, and then shook her head helplessly.
This expression made Guan Gongling, who was serving at the side, confused. Even Yang Chaoyan, who came to check the empress dowager's pulse, looked puzzled.
You should know that the Empress Dowager usually has a dull expression. Even if there are things in the political affairs that make her upset and unhappy, she will just throw the memorials away and has never had such an expression.
"Miss Yang!" The Queen Mother looked at Yang Chaoyan who was waiting on the side, with an inexplicable smile on her face.
During these days, Yang Chaoyan stayed in the Cining Palace. The Empress Dowager saw Yang Chaoyan's character and liked him very much. So, knowing that Yang Chaoyan was obsessed with medicine, she not only gave him a lot of rare medicinal materials, but also let Yang Chaoyan read the rare medical books in the palace.
"I'm here!" Yang Chaoyan hurried forward, bowed and waited aside. She didn't understand why the empress dowager suddenly called her, and the empress dowager's expression also made Yang Chaoyan a little uneasy.
"Have you been to the Marquis Wen'an's mansion often lately?" the empress dowager asked softly. At this time, the empress dowager was leaning back in the chair, looking comfortable and relaxed.
"Yes, the princess and I get along very well now, and I often visit her!" Yang Chaoyan explained.
"Miss Yang, do you know that every time you lie to me, you always lower your brows involuntarily?" the Queen Mother asked softly.
When these words were spoken, although there was no pressure at all and not even any questioning, Yang Chaoyan was so scared that she quickly knelt on the ground.
Yang Chaoyan knew that the Queen Mother was not someone who would kill innocent people, but her majesty came from the God of Rain, so Yang Chaoyan was still afraid of her.
"I...I know my crime!" Yang Chaoyan said with her eyes closed.
Even though the Queen Mother might have noticed something now, Yang Chaoyan had no intention of betraying Zhu Qing'an.
In Yang Chaoyan's mind, betraying a friend is the most shameful thing.
"It's hard for you to keep it a secret for her until now!" The Queen Mother was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She sighed at their friendship, but also felt that the two children were just playing a fool.
Yang Chaoyan's eyebrows twitched. She always felt that the empress dowager seemed to know something.
"Please don't scare Miss Yang, old man. The child is so scared." Guan Gongli smiled and pulled Yang Chaoyan up from the ground.
"I didn't scare her, but what I'm going to say next may scare you!" The Queen Mother was still in the mood to joke at this time.
Guan Gongli was full of disbelief. She had accompanied the Queen Mother through all the bloody storms and had seen all kinds of scenes. What else could scare her?
"Qing'an is pregnant!" the Queen Mother said slowly.
After hearing this, Yang Chaoyan's face turned pale. She didn't expect that the empress dowager really knew about it.
But Guan Gongling's eyes widened, and his first reaction was to retort, "Are you mistaken, old man?"
"How could a letter written by Qing'an himself be fake? Otherwise, why don't you ask Miss Yang?" The Queen Mother smiled and pinched her forehead.
Guan Gongling suddenly understood everything. No wonder Yang Chaoyan liked to go to Wen'an Hou Mansion recently. It seemed that she was not going there for sightseeing, but to have her pulse checked.
And they were all kept secret by the two children.
"The princess is actually pregnant?" Guan Gongling slapped his thighs repeatedly before he realized that he was not dreaming.
"This child gave me such a scare without saying a word!" The Queen Mother was also amused and confused. If she were not an ordinary person, she would have fainted after hearing the news.
"Who is this child..." Guan Gongling asked tentatively.
Zhu Qing'an was a child who grew up under Guan Gongling's care. She knew that Zhu Qing'an was not the kind of person who would play around, nor would she do something like hanging out before marriage.
"Whose else could it be? It's Jingsheng's kid! It was an accident, Qing'an was poisoned!" The Queen Mother explained. Zhu Qing'an explained this clearly to her in the letter.
Zhu Qing'an knew that it was not Bian Jingsheng's fault, so he did not hide it.
The Queen Mother was also very clear about her niece's character. She had always taught her to cherish herself. If it weren't for the accidental Chinese medicine, her niece would never have been able to get together before marriage.
"That makes sense!" Guan Gongling nodded.
"I didn't expect that Qing'an would become a mother so soon!" The Queen Mother was very emotional. When she brought Zhu Qing'an from Marquis Wen'an's Mansion into the palace, Zhu Qing'an was still a little pink ball who had just learned to walk. Now, in the blink of an eye, she is about to become a mother.
"The princess has grown up, and most girls of the same age as her have married and become mothers! Now that something like this has happened, what about the marriage between the princess and Prince Zhongyi?" asked Guan Gongling.
In Guan Gongling's opinion, the two children are a perfect match, and she also knows King Zhongyi's feelings for Zhu Qing'an, so she will definitely treat Zhu Qing'an well.
"Qing An knows the situation well, just let her do what she wants! We can't rush into marriage just for the child. What if Qing An feels it's inappropriate?" The Queen Mother was open-minded and was even pleased that her niece had such awareness.
If her niece rushes into marriage just because she is pregnant, and then has to compromise for the sake of her child and her husband in the future, that would make the empress dowager disappointed.
The Queen Mother has always taught Zhu Qing'an that she is herself first, and then other identities.
"Yes, yes, you are very thoughtful! But now that the princess is pregnant, everyone has found out. I'm afraid that the princess..." Guan Gongling said this with some worry.
After all, people's words are scary. Even if she is a princess, how can she safely take care of her pregnancy under the gaze of everyone?
"I'm afraid His Majesty is already unhappy now. Qing'an should not return to Ancheng for the time being. With Xu Si accompanying her, how can she not protect Qing'an!" The Queen Mother snorted coldly.
"Old Madam Bian must be so happy now. She has been worrying about Prince Zhongyi's marriage for years, and now she has a grandson for free!" Palace Master Guan said, feeling that it was just fate playing tricks on her.
Moreover, Madam Bian has a group of secret guards left by the old loyal king. They are very powerful and can protect Zhu Qing'an's safety.
"I don't know about her yet, she must be secretly happy! My pampered child is really a good thing for her. Well, when this matter is settled, I will definitely have a good talk with her!" The Queen Mother's face was full of nostalgia when she mentioned her good friend.
Just because that person was Xu Si, her best friend for many years, she believed that she could protect her niece well and treat her niece well.
This trust will not change because of the passage of time, because of changes in each other's identities, or because of not seeing each other for a long time.
