The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

"Pregnant?!"

Shen Qionghua opened her eyes wide, full of disbelief.

Yes, that day was a mess. Before the adultery was caught, Zhou Jinxuan drowned. No one thought of preparing a bowl of contraceptive soup for Zhou Lingfu, but she got pregnant.

It was really lively now.

In her previous life, she married Xie Qian'an, and Zhou Lingyi didn't allow Xie Qian'an to touch her. Now, could she tolerate her cousin, whom she had always ignored, getting pregnant with the child of her beloved?

Sure enough, the next moment, Luo Xiyao was heard saying, "What a pity, the child was not saved. Otherwise, when Prince An married a wife, she would have given birth to Prince An's first child and had the Yongning Marquisate as a backing, so she should have had a concubine position."

Not saved?

Shen Qionghua sneered, thinking that it was probably not that he failed to keep it, but that he had lost it to Zhou Lingyi.

Zhou Lingyi regarded the position of queen as a sure thing, so how could she let Zhou Lingfu's child take away her own child's position as crown prince?

Shen Qionghua and Luo Xiyao chatted for a few more minutes and then got down to business.

She looked at Xie Nanyuan and said, "I just happened to have something to say to the prince. His Highness, if you come today, I won't have to make another trip."

Xie Nanyuan paused holding the teacup. He didn't know why she was looking at him like that. He felt nervous but also secretly excited.

He coughed lightly and said calmly, "What's the matter?"

He still spoke in a calm tone, but the next moment, what Shen Qionghua said made him frown.

"Some time ago, the servants of the mansion went to the farm to collect rent and happened to hear an old farmer say that there was a strange phenomenon and that there might be a disaster this year. So I thought we should collect more food to prepare for the emergency. Your Highness, what do you think?"

Shen Qionghua's palms were sweating when she said this.

She couldn't possibly tell others that there would be a disaster this year and that they should store more food. Not to mention whether people would believe her or not, she was afraid that as soon as she said it, she would be treated as a monster. So she could only remind the people around her in this way.

As for whether they believe it or not, it is not her business. People are insignificant in the face of disasters. Even if she is reborn, she can't change anything.

She said this because she knew that King Rui had the habit of exchanging rewards for gold and silver to subsidize the soldiers in the army.

In the previous life, until the disaster was over, the dignitaries in the capital were not affected at all, and it was the common people who suffered.

If a disaster strikes, it may not have a big impact on King Yu Rui, but it may not be so good for the soldiers under his command.

"Disaster?" Xie Nanyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Did they say what kind of disaster it was?"

Facing Xie Nanyuan's gaze, Shen Qionghua avoided it with a guilty look, "How...how do I know this? It's just something the servants in the mansion heard on the way. I haven't even seen what the old farmer looks like."

"Disasters are nothing more than those few. If Your Highness doesn't believe it, just ignore it."

"But I still think it's better to believe it than not. We need to eat anyway, so it's okay to store more food. It's better to be prepared."

Shen Qionghua looked at Xie Nanyuan anxiously. Xie Nanyuan nodded, "I understand. I'll have people stockpile food."

"Your Highness believes me?" Shen Qionghua was a little surprised. She didn't expect Xie Nanyuan to say directly that he wanted to store grain.

Xie Nanyuan shook his head and said, "This kind of thing isn't something that can be predicted. How can we be sure? I should ask a few more experienced farmers."

"I just think what you said makes sense. It's better to be prepared. If nothing happens, the food will be eaten anyway."

Shen Qionghua heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then added, "It's not enough to just ask the old farmer. We should also inspect the riverbank to be prepared."

Xie Nanyuan nodded.

Shen Qionghua chatted with Luo Xiyao for a while, and as it was getting late, she sent Xie Nanyuan and Luo Xiyao away.

As soon as I walked out of the small hall, I saw Lin Wanru and Shen Yi walking towards me from afar.

Shen Yi's eyes lit up when he saw Xie Nanyuan, "Hero, you're here again!"

When he said this, everyone was shocked.

A hint of panic flashed through the hearts of Shen Qionghua and Xie Nanyuan.

Luo Xiyao glanced at Xie Nanyuan with some doubt, "Cousin, have you been to the Shen Mansion?"

"No!" Xie Nanyuan's eyes flashed with guilt, but he forced himself to remain calm.

"Then why did Qionghua's brother say that you are here again?" Luo Xiyao asked.

Shen Qionghua calmly walked over to Shen Yi and covered his mouth, then said, "I once took Ayi out on the street and ran into the prince, so Ayi knows the prince."

"Is that so?" Luo Xiyao looked between the two of them with a suspicious look.

Shen Qionghua felt guilty and said, "Of course."

In order to avoid Luo Xiyao's inquiries, Shen Qionghua quickly changed the subject. She looked at Lin Wanru and said, "Mom, why are you here?"

Fortunately, Lin Wanru was thinking about other things and did not doubt Shen Qionghua's words.

Lin Wanru smiled gently and said, "Mother heard that His Royal Highness Prince Rui and Princess Pingning had arrived, so she wanted to come and thank them."

As she spoke, she looked at Xie Nanyuan and Luo Xiyao, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and the Princess, for your help. Otherwise, the Shen family would not have been able to escape from the Yongning Marquis's mansion, that den of tigers and wolves."

Luo Xiyao was startled and hurried forward to help Lin Wanru. Although she was a princess, she regarded Shen Qionghua as a friend. Lin Wanru was her elder, so it didn't make sense for a younger person to accept the kowtow of an elder.

She was about to step forward, but was overtaken by a black figure beside her.

Xie Nanyuan pushed Luo Xiyao aside, reached out through his sleeve to help Lin Wanru up, and said, "Madam Shen, there's no need to be so polite. This is all as it should be."

Luo Xiyao: “…”
