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

"Slow down, slow down!"

Old Madam Bian strode towards Zhu Qing'an, who was now leisurely walking in the yard with the support of Wangshu.

"Madam!" Zhu Qing'an saw Madam Bian and smiled and bowed slightly.

"It's very cold outside, hurry up and get a hot water bottle!" Old Lady Bian said, and handed the prepared hot water bottle to Zhu Qing'an's hand.

Zhu Qing'an took it and looked at the flowers and plants in the yard, which had been eroded by the wind and snow, leaving only bare stems. She couldn't help feeling a little emotional. She had already spent several months in this hot spring house.

When she looked down, she saw that her flat belly was now slightly bulging.

"Ancheng, how are you now?" Zhu Qingan asked. She knew that the people around her chose to hide things from her in order to save her the trouble.

But Zhu Qing'an was not stupid. There were several times more secret guards outside the mansion, and Bian Jingsheng had not been here for a long time. Moreover, Old Madam Bian had a serious expression all day long. He knew that the situation in Ancheng had probably reached a serious level.

Old Madam Bian first glanced at Zhu Qing'an, and found that Zhu Qing'an's eyes were full of understanding and clarity, so she chose to tell the truth.

"Your Majesty tried to collude with the enemy country a few days ago. This move simply disregarded the safety of Xuanlong Country. Now Jingsheng has led his troops to besiege the imperial city. I'm afraid..." Old Lady Bian looked solemn.

Old Madam Bian had also been on the battlefield, so she naturally knew how much damage a palace coup would bring. A victory would be fine, but if they lost, neither the Empress Dowager and her son, nor she and Zhu Qing'an would have a good ending.

Zhu Qing'an was silent for a moment after hearing this. She knew that the current situation was probably not optimistic, but she never expected it to have come to this point.

"Your Majesty is colluding with the enemy. This behavior shows that you disregard the safety of Xuanlong Country. In this case, forcing Your Majesty to abdicate is necessary to prevent Him from doing more ridiculous things. If he succeeds, then the country that the soldiers have defended with their blood over the years will face devastation!" Zhu Qing'an said calmly.

Old Madam Bian also nodded. It was because His Majesty was too confused that Bian Jingsheng couldn't stand it.

No one knows better than Bian Jingsheng how many soldiers have lost their lives for the safety of Xuanlong Kingdom. They are guarding Xuanlong Kingdom, while His Majesty, who is sitting on the dragon throne and feeling at ease, wants to collude with the enemy. How ridiculous it is to say.

"When things are peaceful in a few days, you can go out for a walk. I'm afraid you'll be worried sick if you always stay here with an old woman like me!" Old Lady Bian smiled, not wanting Zhu Qing'an to continue worrying.

Zhu Qing'an looked at the sky. He didn't know when, but the always gloomy weather seemed to start to clear up.

Zhu Qingan silently prayed in his heart that everything would be fine, it would definitely be fine.

At the same time, Fu Guang brought a few people into the courtyard. When Zhu Qing'an saw them, he was not surprised at all.

"The princess!"

"Sister!"

"Good morning!"

Zhu Qing'an watched as Aunt Qu, her mother and son, and the five princesses walked into the courtyard together. Everyone's eyes were filled with deep worry, and then when they saw Zhu Qing'an's bulging belly, they turned into surprise.

Everyone knew that Zhu Qingan was pregnant, but they hadn't seen each other for some time. Suddenly seeing Zhu Qingan's bulging belly, they felt a little uncomfortable.

"Everyone is here!" Zhu Qing'an looked at them with a smile. They were his family and friends.

Although Aunt Qu was very excited to see Zhu Qing'an, she also knew that Old Madam Bian was here, so she quickly brought her two children to pay their respects to Old Madam Bian with an extremely respectful look.

Old Madam Bian just waved her hand and told everyone not to be so polite.

"Qing'an, your family and the princess are here. It's cold outside, so why don't you go sit inside? I'll ask the kitchen to cook a few more dishes. It's rare that this house is lively today!" Old Lady Bian said with a smile, and politely said goodbye to the Fifth Princess.

Zhu Qing'an invited a few people into the house, and then asked Wangshu to serve tea quickly.

"It's all our fault. We made the princess worry while she was still pregnant!" Aunt Qu held the teacup and looked at Zhu Qing'an's expression carefully. Seeing that Zhu Qing'an looked calm and had a rosy complexion, she felt relieved.

"You have seen the current situation. I was afraid that something might happen to you in Ancheng, so I asked Jingsheng to send you here! Wait until everything is over and then go back!" Zhu Qing'an explained.

Now the emperor is in a state of panic. Zhu Qing'an is afraid that the emperor will use his family to threaten his father, and he is also worried that the fifth princess will be implicated for offending the emperor last time, so he brought her here.

Now the hot spring house is like an iron barrel. Only here is it safer.

As for her father, the Queen Mother, Bian Jingsheng, and even Zhong Yi, they all had important things to do. Now all she could do was not to become a burden to them, nor to let her family and friends become a burden.

"You have thought it through very carefully. You don't know that now all the noble families are staying indoors, and I am even more frightened staying in the princess's mansion!" The fifth princess was a little moved. She really didn't expect that Zhu Qing'an even considered herself.

"By the way, I'm going to take a hot spring bath first. I'm frozen all the way here!" The fifth princess said as she stood up, feeling a little impatient.

"Wangshu, take the fifth princess there!" Zhu Qing'an instructed.

Wangshu bowed slightly and took the fifth princess to the backyard to soak in the hot spring.

At this time, there were only Zhu Qing'an, Aunt Qu and her son in the room.

"Seeing the princess's rosy complexion, I feel relieved. You don't know that the Marquis is always thinking about you at home, worried that something is wrong with your health!" Aunt Qu's tone was full of relief.

Although Zhu Qing'an often wrote to us, everyone was worried because they hadn't seen her in person, especially since Zhu Qing'an was pregnant.

"I'm fine. I heard that someone came from Lingzhou some time ago. How is my second sister's marriage going?" Zhu Qing'an asked with concern.

When mentioning this, even Aunt Qu couldn't help but smile, but Zhu Baiwei beside her looked a little shy.

"The second wife and husband from Lingzhou came here in person, and they attach great importance to the marriage of the two children! And I have also talked with the second wife and husband, which shows that they are clear-headed. If Bai Wei marries there in the future, her parents-in-law are reasonable and she won't be wronged!" Aunt Qu mentioned this marriage and she is now satisfied with everything.

Rather than marrying into a noble family and becoming the mistress of the household, Aunt Qu hopes that her daughter will find a husband who understands her and they can live a happy life together.

Zhu Qing'an felt slightly relieved when he saw Aunt Qu's attitude.

"Now that the engagement letters have been exchanged, the marriage is settled. We are just waiting for your marriage to be finalized. After the marriage, Bai Wei will marry into the Shui Mansion!" Aunt Qu said with a smile.

Zhu Baiwei lowered her head. Whenever she thought about marrying Shui Tingfeng, she couldn't stop looking forward to it.

Although she and Shui Tingfeng had not been able to be together during these days, Shui Tingfeng's constant letters and gifts sent from time to time made Zhu Baiwei feel at ease.

Especially now, even the Second House of the Water Mansion would send any goodies they got to Ancheng. Seeing how satisfied and caring her future in-laws were, Zhu Baiwei put her previous worries aside.

"Aunt is too persistent. Bai Wei's marriage should naturally be given priority to her. Why bother with the rules?" Zhu Qing'an disagreed.

"If my elder sister doesn't get married, and I do get married before her, how will others look at her? I know she doesn't care about these things, but I don't want her to suffer those things!" Zhu Baiwei said firmly.

Nowadays, when daughters in a family are betrothed, the marriage is arranged according to age. If a young daughter is betrothed first, others will only discuss whether the eldest daughter has bad morals.

The news that Zhu Qing'an was pregnant had already caused a storm of rumors in Ancheng. Even if those people did not dare to discuss it openly, the words they said in private were extremely unpleasant. Even Zhu Baiwei had several disputes with the noble lady when attending the banquet.

If she got married before her elder sister, those people would think that her elder sister would never get married.

"What if I never get married in this life?" Zhu Qing'an deliberately joked.

After these words were spoken, Aunt Qu and her son had no doubts at all. After all, this was something Zhu Qing'an could do.

Aunt Qu's eyes flickered, but she didn't say anything to stop him. "If the princess really doesn't want to marry into the family, it's fine for her to live in the mansion for the rest of her life. The Marquis might even be very happy!"

"Don't worry, elder sister. I will do my best to pass the imperial examination next spring. By then, I will be able to support the Marquis's family. It doesn't matter if you never get married!" Zhu Yiqing said seriously.

If it weren't for his eldest sister, he wouldn't be who he is today, and his mother and second sister wouldn't have the good life they have now. He is grateful to his eldest sister.

"If elder sister really doesn't want to get married, I won't get married either!" Zhu Baiwei raised her voice with a bit of willfulness in her expression.

"Aren't you afraid that your second cousin can't wait any longer? I don't know how he will blame me then." Zhu Qing'an couldn't stop laughing.

"So what? If he really likes me, what's wrong with waiting for me for a few more years?" Zhu Baiwei argued.

This statement was extremely outrageous, but neither Aunt Qu nor Zhu Yiqing criticized him, and there was even indulgence in their eyes.

What makes Zhu Qingan most gratified is that Zhu Baiwei used to be timid, but now she has her own confidence and has even become dazzling and sunny.

"You really are..." Zhu Qing'an sighed and laughed to himself.

"Princess, these are some embroidery works I made for you and your children when I had nothing to do. Take a look and see if you like them! These tiger-head shoes were made by Bai Wei!" Aunt Qu said as she opened a bundle.

Zhu Qing'an saw that the bundle contained not only the handkerchiefs and undergarments embroidered by Aunt Qu, but also several sets of clothes for little babies, which looked delicate and cute.

"Isn't it so cute?" Zhu Qing'an held the pair of tiger-head shoes and couldn't let them go.

"As long as you like it, I will make a few more pairs of shoes for my nephew in the future!" Zhu Qing'an looked at his elder sister's belly with curiosity in his eyes.

"The little baby's clothes need to be made with extra care. I'm sorry to trouble my aunt and second sister!" Zhu Qing'an touched the clothes in the bundle and could find how delicate they were. It was obvious that a lot of thought and time had been put into them.

"I'm glad the princess doesn't mind!" Aunt Qu and Zhu Baiwei were very happy. There wasn't much they could do for Zhu Qing'an and her children. They could only do these trivial things. Fortunately, Zhu Qing'an didn't mind.

"My aunt and second sister prepared something for my nephew without telling me, so I didn't prepare anything! They only bought a hairpin for my eldest sister!" Zhu Yiqing felt a little embarrassed and took out a golden hibiscus hairpin in a wooden box from his sleeve.

"It's not expensive enough. If you don't like it, just put it aside!" Zhu Yiqing said hurriedly. He knew that his elder sister's jewelry were all valuable things, and his gold hairpin seemed a bit cheap.

"How could that be? It's very beautiful! Thank you, third brother, I like it very much!" Zhu Qing'an took it and directly pinned the gold hairpin on her bun.

The value of the gift was nothing to Zhu Qing'an; the intention behind the gift was what mattered most. She knew Zhu Yiqing wasn't wealthy, and that he must have saved up for a long time to buy this hairpin. It was truly a gift from him that he had such a heart.

Zhu Yiqing looked at the gold hairpin on her elder sister Ruyun's bun, and suddenly realized that the gold hairpin that she had originally thought was not luxurious enough had become extremely expensive.

Because everyone came here, Zhu Qing'an suddenly felt much happier, and he also knew that a lot of ups and downs had happened in Lian City recently.

After moving into the hot spring villa, Aunt Qu was not idle. She even cooked herself that night.

Old Lady Bian saw that Concubine Qu seemed to know Zhu Qing'an's taste very well. Although she felt it was rude to let a guest prepare meals, since Concubine Qu insisted, Old Lady Bian agreed to her request.

In the dinner hall, the hot spring residence was bustling again after a long absence.

Everyone ate the delicious meal and shared happy stories happily. There was no difference in status and no sarcastic competition.

At this moment, they rely on each other.

However, the meal was not finished yet, and the sound of swords clashing could be heard coming from outside the yard.

In an instant, everyone stood up in shock, and Madam Bian and Aunt Qu were the first to support Zhu Qing'an.

"Princess, a large number of assassins are emerging outside!" Fu Guang was already holding a long sword, ready to go out and kill the enemy.

"Be careful and be safe!" Zhu Qingan warned.

As Fu Guang's figure left, no one could eat anymore. Old Lady Bian quickly sent someone to send them back to their rooms, while she herself stayed with Zhu Qing'an.

The sound of fighting outside the yard could be faintly heard. Old Madam Bian held Zhu Qingan's hand and kept comforting her.

None of them spoke, but they all knew in their hearts that His Majesty had sent so many assassins, which must have meant he was desperate. So, Ancheng must have already started to take action.

Tonight may be the key to victory or failure.

Now, Madam Bian and Zhu Qing'an are extremely worried about the safety of everyone in Ancheng. No matter how warm the house is, their hearts are cold.

I don’t know how much time passed, it seemed to be early morning, the noise outside subsided slightly, and there was a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, he saw Fu Guang standing outside covered in blood. "Madam, Princess, the assassins have all been killed!"

This one sentence made the two of them feel relieved instantly. At the same time, they stood outside the house in the cold wind, their eyes involuntarily looking towards Ancheng.
