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

"Hello, my dear..."

Zhu Qing'an was making tea. When she heard the sound, she turned around and saw Zhong Yi standing outside the house holding Song Nian's hand tightly.

Zhong Yi's not-so-fair skin now looked particularly rosy, and there was a rare hint of shyness and tenderness in her eyes.

"Mr. Song! I like it!" Zhu Qing'an stood up.

Song Nian quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Princess!"

Zhu Qing'an invited the two into the house and personally made tea for them. Even if she didn't ask, she knew that the two had reconciled, and Zhongyi should get what she wanted.

"I came here to thank the princess!" Song Nian looked at Zhu Qing'an, his eyes full of gratitude. "If it weren't for the princess, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to recognize my feelings and make Zhongyi sad!"

As Song Nian spoke, he cast his gaze on Zhong Yi beside him, his eyes filled with joy and fondness.

Even though Zhong Yi's appearance was not as pretty as that of ordinary women, and even her posture was rude, in Song Nian's eyes, Zhong Yi was unique and that was the look he liked the most.

He liked Zhong Yi's casual look, liked Zhong Yi's heroic look on the battlefield, and even more liked Zhong Yi's yellow or even weathered skin.

"You know I will be sad, after chasing you for so many years! Thinking like this, I'm really angry!" Zhong Yi stretched out his fist and hit Song Nian's shoulder, but controlled the strength for fear of hurting Song Nian.

"It's all my fault! I'll be the one chasing you from now on!" Song Nian coaxed.

With just one sentence, Zhong Yi lost all her anger, and her face was full of tenderness and affection, which made Zhu Qingan's eyes hurt.

"It's good that Mr. Song can recognize his feelings. You must treat Zhongyi well in the future! Don't look at Zhongyi as carefree, but in fact she also has the sensitive mind of a woman. If Mr. Song continues to ignore Zhongyi like this in the future, don't blame me for really introducing a better man to Zhongyi!" Zhu Qing'an took a sip of hot tea, and his tone contained not only instructions but also warnings.

Although she and Zhong Yi have only known each other for a short time, they are still friends. When she was in danger, Zhong Yi protected her without any hesitation. Based on this friendship, she would stand on Zhong Yi's side.

"Qing'an, I knew you were the best!" Zhong Yi pushed Song Nian aside and came to Zhu Qing'an, sitting next to her and acting coquettishly.

Zhu Qingan let Zhong Yi get closer. She could smell that Zhong Yi did not have the girlish scent of powder on her body, but rather the refreshing scent of soapberry.

"I will never let Zhong Yi down, and I also thank the princess for her care for Zhong Yi!" Song Nian stood up and bowed again, his words full of genuine gratitude.

Zhong Yi is not good at expressing himself, but he is very grateful to Zhu Qingan.

Zhong Yi has been staying in the military camp for many years and has no friends or family, so he has never experienced the feeling of having someone support him like this.

It turns out that she is not alone, she has someone to support her and someone to rely on.

"You!" Zhu Qing'an looked at Zhong Yi and sighed, "Don't chase Mr. Song all day long. At least show some attitude!"

Zhong Yi nodded. Now she felt that everything Zhu Qing'an said was right. If she hadn't listened to Zhu Qing'an this time, she and Song Nian would have been entangled for who knows how long.

Everything was talked out, and Zhu Qing'an was happy for Zhongyi from the bottom of his heart. The lovers finally got married, and the three of them drank tea instead of wine, and everything was said without words.

"Your Highness is still in the Night Alliance. I have not told Your Highness that the princess is pregnant. However, Ancheng is not peaceful right now, so I have taken the initiative to mobilize some guards to protect the princess. I hope the princess will not refuse!" Song Nian put down the teacup and talked about business.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Song!" Zhu Qing'an would naturally not refuse. She had to protect herself now. What's more, there was Old Madam Bian living in this house, and her safety was also extremely important.

Song Nian originally thought that he would have to waste a lot of time talking, but he didn't expect Zhu Qing'an to be so calm.

"How is Ancheng now?" Zhu Qing'an asked. The people around her were afraid of making her worry too much, so they picked out the good things to tell her. However, Zhu Qing'an knew that Marquis Wen'an and the Zhongyi Palace were now in cahoots with each other, so His Majesty could not sit still.

Bian Jingsheng was not in Ancheng, so he handed over all the affairs to Song Nian, not only because Song Nian was his confidant, but also because Song Nian had outstanding abilities.

Song Nian hesitated. Logically, he should have concealed something, after all, Zhu Qing'an was pregnant. But he just understood from the simple conversation that Zhu Qing'an was not a weak woman.

"Even with the interference of the Queen Mother and Marquis Wen'an, the fact that you are pregnant is probably known to the whole Ancheng now!" Song Nian's tone was a little heavy. This was why everyone did not want Zhu Qing'an to return to Ancheng, for fear that Zhu Qing'an would be sad after hearing those rumors.

Zhu Qing'an nodded, his expression not only calm, but also without any ripples at all.

Rumors can be scary. Perhaps people were afraid of her aunt and father and wouldn't speak publicly, but privately, they were probably spreading. She had nothing to be sad about; she just felt it didn't matter.

"Your Majesty has already demoted many military officers in the court, and these military officers are all the prince's confidants!" Song Nian said frankly, but there was no anxiety in his eyes.

This was expected, but looking at Song Nian's expression, Zhu Qing'an also knew that the matter was not serious.

"Your Majesty has found many excuses to frame the Empress Dowager, but unfortunately, she has always resolved the situation!" Song Nian continued, "Don't worry, Princess. Although Your Majesty now knows that the Zhongyi Palace and the Wen'an Marquis's Palace are on good terms, the Empress Dowager and the Prince are not without defenses. The current confrontation between the two sides is within their control! Once the Prince finds the antidote, everything will be fine!"

Zhu Qing'an agreed with Song Nian's comforting words and nodded slightly.

Song Nian came here this time to confess his feelings to Zhong Yi. In fact, there were still a lot of things in Ancheng that needed him to solve.

Zhong Yi knew that Song Nian had feelings for her, so she naturally did not stay here any longer and followed Song Nian back to Ancheng without stopping.

Although Zhong Yi is a little lacking in strategy, his martial arts skills are outstanding, and he can do something for Song Nian when he returns to Ancheng.

Only Zhu Qing'an and Old Madam Bian were left in the entire mansion. Fortunately, neither of them felt lonely, and Zhu Qing'an lived a comfortable life with Old Madam Bian every day.

But on this day, an uninvited guest came to the house.

"Who are you talking about?" Zhu Qing'an wondered if he had heard it wrong, so he asked again.

"Madam is outside the courtyard and wants to see you!" Wangshu said, and then added, "Looking at Madam's appearance, it seems that she is not doing well!"

Zhu Qing'an never expected that one day his mother would come looking for him.

These days, she was only thinking about the baby in her belly, so she didn't care about her mother's affairs, nor did she care how her mother was doing.

Zhu Qingan thought that there was no need for her and her mother to meet again in this life.

"If the princess doesn't want to see Madam, I will ask Madam to leave. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate to wait outside the courtyard and be seen by Madam Bian!" Wangshu advised.

Even though Shui Shiyu had gone too far at that time, she was still Zhu Qing'an's biological mother. Now Zhu Qing'an and Old Madam Bian were getting along very well. If there was a misunderstanding, it would be more trouble than gain.

"Since she is here, please come in! Otherwise she will disturb my father!" Zhu Qing'an waved his hand.

My father is busy now, and Concubine Qu has not yet been promoted to the position of legitimate wife. If my mother goes to the Marquis Wen'an's Mansion to make trouble, it will only make the Marquis Wen'an's Mansion a laughing stock.

But after a while, Wangshu was seen leading Shui Shiyu into the yard.

Zhu Qingan bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, mother!"

Shui Shiyu hurried forward to help Zhu Qing'an up, his eyes red, and he looked like a completely different person from when he left Wen'an Marquis Mansion.

Shui Shiyu now looks several years older. Her bright eyes now carry a hint of resentment from being suppressed by the world. She has very few pearl hairpins on her head, and there is not even a decent bracelet on the wrist of Zhu Qingan. Even her youthful hands have become dry and rough.

"Qing'an..." Shui Shiyu started sobbing softly as soon as she opened her mouth, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered in recent days.

Zhu Qing'an just stood there, watching her mother cry quietly. Her expression did not show any sadness or distress, and she looked more like an outsider.

Shui Shiyu cried for a while, but didn't hear any words of comfort from her daughter. Her daughter even refused to hand her a handkerchief. She suddenly felt a little bored.

Taking out a handkerchief from her sleeve, Shui Shiyu wiped the tears from her cheeks.

Zhu Qing'an's eyes fell on the handkerchief in his mother's hand. He remembered that in the past, when he was in the mansion, the handkerchiefs his mother used were made of the finest Shu brocade, with the best embroiderers drawing patterns on them. But the handkerchief his mother held now was made of the coarse cloth used by ordinary people, without even a single embroidered flower on it.

"Mother, please have some tea first!" Zhu Qing'an pulled her hands away. She couldn't pretend to have a loving mother and daughter look. What's more, she and her mother had never had such a moment before.

Shui Shiyu sat down dryly, looking at the teacup with blue and white cloud dragon pattern in his hand, feeling a little dazed.

Once upon a time, the teacups she used were like this, but now she hasn't touched such a good teacup for a long time.

"Qing'an, your mother has really been deceived!" Shui Shiyu took a sip of tea and began to complain. At this time, Aunt Banxia who was standing beside her couldn't help but shed tears.

"Princess, you don't know that the Madam has really been deceived by that Mr. Yang. You are the Madam's only child, so you have to make plans for her!" Aunt Banxia said with tears and snot.

"How could that be?" Zhu Qing'an feigned confusion. "Mother and Master Yang are deeply in love, and now they are finally together. This is fate!"

Shui Shiyu felt a little embarrassed when her daughter said this. If it were in the past, she would have scolded her daughter long ago, but now that she needed help from others, she naturally could not put on the airs of a mother anymore. She could only look at Aunt Banxia, ​​and Aunt Banxia instantly understood what she meant.

There are some things that Shui Shiyu is not easy to say, but Aunt Banxia can tell them.

"Princess, you don't know that when Madam followed Mr. Yang back to Lingzhou, she found out that there were several concubines in the backyard of the Yang Mansion, and he even had five children! Even after Madam came in, those concubines were not dismissed! The most important thing is that Mr. Yang pretended to be nice to Madam before, but then he felt that Madam had no money, so he neglected Madam even more. Not only does Madam have to deal with those concubines every day, but her food, clothing and other expenses are getting worse and worse. Mr. Yang even had evil thoughts. Seeing Madam's beauty, he actually wanted to give her away!" Aunt Banxia said with anger on her face.

As Shui Shiyu listened, tears fell again.

Shui Shiyu had always had a smooth life and had never suffered such injustice. She had only stayed in the Yang Mansion for a few months, but for Shui Shiyu, it was like she had experienced a terrifying life.

If she and Banxia had not escaped, Shui Shiyu didn't dare to think about what the consequences would be for her.

Shui Shiyu never expected that the young man from her youth would now want to give her away for his own wealth. It was also because of this that she finally gave up on Yang Yu.

Zhu Qing'an actually laughed as he listened.

She was born with a beautiful face, and now after getting pregnant, she has been carefully cared for and taken care of. Now she is even more beautiful that people can't take their eyes off her. When she smiles, she is like a blooming peony.

Aunt Banxia wanted to complain, but when she heard Zhu Qing'an's laughter, she couldn't say anything.

Shui Shiyu was also stunned. She didn't understand why the painful past that Aunt Banxia talked about made her daughter laugh.

"Aunt Banxia said that the concubines were dismissed? This princess would like to ask, if the concubines were dismissed, would there be any way for them to survive? As for what you said about mother having no money, I remember that mother had no income in the mansion. As for the so-called dealings with the concubines, that was mother's willingness!"

"Princess, how can you say that about the Madam? You and the Madam are the closest people to each other!" Aunt Banxia advised, her expression full of anxiety.

Shui Shiyu looked patient. They had not expected that although they had lowered their stance and even revealed their own scars, Zhu Qing'an remained unmoved.

"Oh? If you say so, I would like to ask mother, when you left the Hou Mansion without looking back, did you remember that you had a daughter?" Zhu Qing'an looked at his mother with interest in his eyes.

She is going to be a mother now, and she loves her children very much, so she doesn't understand why her mother doesn't love her so much.

Fortunately, she no longer cares about the reason.

"I was crazy when I left. I was always thinking about you, but I was afraid of disturbing you, so I endured it!" Shui Shiyu looked at her daughter sincerely.

If Shui Shiyutian was really stupid in the past, then after experiencing this, she finally understood that the Shui Mansion no longer recognized her as their daughter, and the Yang Mansion was a quagmire. If she didn't get along well with her daughter, her life would be over.

Zhu Qing'an didn't believe a single word his mother said. When his mother left, she was so impatient that she didn't even leave a single word of advice for him.

"Mother, what do you want to do by coming to see me now?" Zhu Qing'an asked with a relaxed attitude and a look of indifference in his eyes.
