Lan Qingwu blushed slightly: "Brother Heng, are you still angry? I was the only one who saw you these past few days, and you weren't with Ruo Ruo."

The two of them got closer and closer, their breathing almost audible. Emperor Shenwu pressed his forehead against Lan Qingwu's, "Is that so? Today I will accompany Ruo Ruo well."

The voice of Emperor Shenwu became lower and lower, and Lan Qingwu was almost intoxicated by the deep gaze of Emperor Shenwu. Then she was breathless and drowsy from the kiss of Emperor Shenwu.

Emperor Shenwu gently tempted Lan Qingwu: "What else do you want, Ruo Ruo? I will give you everything..."

Lan Qingwu never had the chance to speak again. After she became pregnant, her body became more sensitive, and she gradually became addicted to the tenderness of Emperor Shenwu.

When the clouds cleared and the rain subsided, their hair was practically tangled together. The Shenwu Emperor's large palm gently caressed the icy skin and delicate bones in his arms, finally sliding his palm towards Lan Qingwu's belly. "Wei Ruo Ruo, have you ever thought about whether our child will be a prince or a princess?"

Lan Qingwu opened her misty eyes and said, "I think it's a boy."

She also wanted the baby in her womb to be a boy. After all, the Da Sheng Dynasty had many restrictions on women, and they were not as free as men.

"I think if he were a boy, he would look a lot like Brother Heng!"

Emperor Shenwu couldn't help but laugh and said, "What a coincidence! I was thinking that if she were a girl, she would definitely look exactly like Ruo Ruo in the future!"

Emperor Shenwu leaned over and gently bit Lan Qingwu's delicate lips, his voice low and charming: "If it's not a girl, then I will let Ruoruo give birth to another one!"

Lan Qingwu kissed the Emperor Shenwu back, her beautiful eyes shimmering with affection. When they separated slightly, Lan Qingwu looked at the Emperor Shenwu seriously and said softly, "More than one, Brother Heng. I want to give birth to your sixth prince, seventh prince, and seventh princess... from now on, Brother Heng, is that okay?"

Lan Qingwu tightened her arms around Emperor Shenwu's neck. Her expression was serious yet filled with cautious pleading. "Brother Heng, please?"

Emperor Shenwu felt Lan Qingwu's surging love, respect, and strong possessiveness, just like how he felt towards her! His weakness was indeed unique!

Emperor Shenwu couldn't help but hug Lan Qingwu tighter: "Okay, okay!"

Emperor Shenwu looked into Lan Qingwu's eyes and said solemnly, "I promise you, from now on I only want you, only the child that Ruo Ruo gave birth to for me. This is my promise to you!"

And this time, I will never let you be sad and disappointed again!

Under the red candle gauze tent, Lan Qingwu smiled, that smile was warm and sincere. Emperor Shenwu kissed that smile and kept it in his heart - a treasure!

In Baichang Pavilion, Concubine Wen was furious as she watched the Third Princess: "How did you take care of her? How did the Princess get a heat stroke?"

The third princess, who had just turned one year old, was lying on the bed with a pale face, humming weakly.

Beside the bed, several palace maids were kneeling and apologizing.

Wenpin waved her hand irritably: "Have you called the imperial physician?"

The palace maid hurriedly replied, "Yes, please, the imperial physician will be here soon."

Wenpin asked again, "Where is His Majesty? Have you reported back to His Majesty?"

The palace maid began to hesitate.

Wenpin's charming face darkened: "Speak!"

The palace maid replied, "Empress Wen, I went to report to His Majesty that His Majesty was coaxing Empress Yi to sleep and didn't see me. Eunuch Li asked me to come back first and said he would find time to report back to His Majesty."

"Find the time?"

Concubine Wen gritted her teeth and said, "She's carrying a dragon fetus in her belly. Does that mean my Third Princess is no longer the apple of my eye?"

All the kneeling palace maids were silent and dared not make a sound.

That day in Baichang Pavilion, the imperial physicians and palace servants were so busy that the candlelight flickered.

In the Qinzheng Palace, Emperor Shenwu looked at the civil and military officials in the palace and asked, "Are you saying that the Beinar tribe wants to go to Qiling Mountain?"

Minister of Rites Chen Peijian bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. Wujina has long yearned for Mount Qiling in Dasheng. He also heard that the six nations of the Paracel Islands once hunted there, which is why he made this request."

Emperor Shenwu said disdainfully, "The Beinar tribe is not qualified to make such a request. Just reply to Wuzhina, Qiling Mountain is closed and no one is allowed to enter the mountain during this time!"

It was midsummer and it rained heavily all day. When the rain stopped, the whole sky became clear.

Taking advantage of the fresh air, Lan Qingwu left Jingyou Pavilion and went to a pavilion to enjoy the scenery.

After the heavy rain, the leaves, flowers, grass... everything is full of vitality.

Lan Qingwu sat down on the stone chair in the pavilion, breathing in the air and feeling relaxed both physically and mentally.

But soon someone disturbed Lan Qingwu's mood.

Wenpin came straight to the pavilion. When she saw Lan Qingwu enjoying the beautiful scenery with great interest, Wenpin couldn't help but sneer.

Wenpin went straight into the pavilion and said, "Yipin is in such a good mood!"

Lan Qingwu was startled. She turned her head to look at Wenpin, but did not stand up. She just waited quietly for Wenpin to speak.

Wenpin took two more steps forward and said straight to the point, "Yipin, I've been wanting to say this for a long time. You're actually incredibly talented, but every time you see us so-called talented women gathering together for literature, don't you think we're ridiculous? And you just watch us like that, impassive?"

Lan Qingwu asked, "What are you so angry about? Even if I had told you the truth, you would have only believed your own judgment! Besides, I have no obligation to explain everything to you word for word. Everything is just your preconceived notions. You just can't accept that a military commander's daughter can surpass you! Concubine Wen, who are you to question me?"

Lan Qingwu was helped to stand up by Ruping. She did not even look at Wenpin's ugly face and said, "I'll give this pavilion to you."

Wenpin's face turned pale with anger. She watched Lan Qingwu stand up, and suddenly took two steps forward, stretched out her hand and grabbed Lan Qingwu's left wrist. Lan Qingwu looked up at Wenpin quietly. She didn't believe that Wenpin would do anything to her in broad daylight. Ruping, however, was as if facing a great enemy. She half-turned sideways to block Lan Qingwu.

Wenpin said coldly: "You servant, why are you so nervous?"

She looked down at Lan Qingwu's wrist, as if asking, "This peach blossom coral bracelet is the one Noble Lady Shuixia mentioned, right? Was it carved by His Majesty himself when he was young?"

On Lan Qingwu's wrist, a bright red coral bracelet was shining slightly.

Lan Qingwu frowned, "Noble Lady Shuixia? Concubine Wen, no matter what the matter is, I have no obligation to say anything to you. The concubines in the harem are all the same, relying on their respective family power to enter the palace. Do you still want to explain everything to anyone? Don't go too far!"

Lan Qingwu pulled back her hand with all her strength: "Princess Wen, it's better for us not to bother each other!"

Ruping supported Lan Qingwu and slowly walked out of the pavilion. Wenpin just watched her leave with a cold expression.

Lan Qingwu was right in one thing. Concubine Wen now carries the hopes of the family and has three princesses to take care of. She will not easily put herself in danger.
