Marrying a royal playboy and becoming a glamorous matriarch

"Then what if I say, I'll give you 30%?"

Qin Ping'an raised his long, slanted eyebrows, a faint, mischievous smile playing on his lips, looking as if he had Wei Qingrou firmly under his control.

Thirty percent?

Wei Qingrou remained silent, but shamefully, she was moved.

Now that Qianyulou's problems have been fixed, with the connections of Prince Dun's Mansion, and with a few improvements to the dishes, there's no need to worry about not having customers.

After all, the magnificent five-story Qianyu Tower, now lavishly decorated, is a landmark building in the eastern part of the city, enjoying unparalleled prominence.

In the future, it will inevitably become a popular tourist attraction that high-ranking officials and dignitaries flock to.

Why would she have to take 30% of this sure-fire deal?

Wei Qingrou, blinded by greed, was eager to take advantage of him.

But when she thought of Madam Wei's face, Wei Qingrou held back.

Although her relationship with Madam Wei was just a charade, she had developed some genuine feelings for her and didn't want to fall out with her at this critical juncture.

After all, Lady Wei's own daughter had eloped with a prince, and her half-sister was disobedient and insisted on marrying a crude and unfilial man. She was in a state of great distress.

She feigned flattery, putting on an obedient and sensible act. Madam Wei saw through her act, but still gave her a generous dowry and a grand wedding, showing that she had truly given her heart.

Wei Qingrou felt a sense of gratitude and did not want to become enemies with her.

Therefore, you can't eat the meat that's right in front of you.

“My husband, I am not unmoved by your suggestion, and I would like to help you share your burdens, but since it involves Qianyu Tower, I am unwilling to get involved anymore.”

Wei Qingrou said with difficulty, "As you know, I don't have a good relationship with my elder sister, and Qianyu Tower is her business. I don't want to fall out with her."

Qin Ping'an's gaze lingered, taking in her face as he looked her over.

"Since you won't agree to this, you must agree to another. Otherwise, I'm such a terrible husband, I can't even get my own wife to do anything."

"what's up?"

Wei Qingrou smiled. As long as Qin Ping'an was reasonable, everything would be fine.

Qin Ping'an pulled her into his arms, squinted his eyes, and gently bit her plump breast, "Give me a child."

Wei Qingrou stopped moving.

It's not that she doesn't want to have children, it's that you have a problem, bro. How can she have children like this?

If she could have given birth, she would have gotten pregnant long ago, since the two of them had been having sex without using any contraception.

However, Wei Qingrou didn't dare to say this directly to Qin Ping'an, for fear of hurting his straight-man heart, so she could only say it indirectly.

"My husband, the matter of having children depends on fate, and there's no need to rush it."

"I'm in a hurry."

Qin Ping'an ignored all the intricacies and, with a flick of his index finger, directly pulled off Wei Qingrou's belt.

Wei Qingrou clutched her skirt tightly and continued to hint at him, "Then tell me, why haven't I conceived?"

Qin Ping'an gently fiddled with the hem of his clothes and said casually, "Then it must be because my husband hasn't worked hard enough. I must work harder. As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. If I work harder, we will surely have many children and much happiness."

Wei Qingrou really wanted to roll her eyes. "Husband, perhaps you should think about it, maybe it's just that you're impotent?"

Qin Ping'an froze, a look of confusion appearing on his lust-filled face: "I can't? I'm clearly very capable!"

He squinted, his gaze coolly sweeping over her. "It seems I haven't tried hard enough, causing you to have such a misconception... In that case, you won't be sleeping tonight."

Wei Qingrou was completely shocked, and cried while clutching the corner of the blanket: "No way?"

"want!"

"must!"

Wei Qingrou was truly helpless. In fact, she wanted to say that whether or not one is fertile and whether or not one is good at sex are two different things.

Sometimes, even a small pepper can give birth, while a large tree can't, which is related to the quality of sperm in the body.

Therefore, she suspected that Qin Ping'an's quality was poor, so even if he was good at it, it was all for nothing.

I'm busy doing nothing all day.

Soon, Wei Qingrou lost all interest in thinking about these things and was forced to get busy.

However, she doesn't need to worry about this; there are plenty of people who are anxious about it.

The princess was very anxious and wished she could personally keep an eye on her son's household, inquiring about the situation every day.

She felt both happy and worried when she learned that her son was still spending every night in the mistress's room.

A harmonious marriage is usually a wonderful thing, but the fact that the two of them haven't had any romantic relationship has made the princess wonder: what's going on?

Seeing the princess sighing so often, the head maidservant who served her was quite worried. So she suggested, "Your Highness, why don't we invite the famous physician Liu, a renowned expert in physiognomy, to our residence? He is most skilled in fertility diagnosis and is known as 'Miracle Physician Liu'."

“I’ve heard of this Master Liu,” the princess said, her spirits immediately rising. “But inviting him here so abruptly might hurt the young couple’s feelings. We need to find a better reason.”

The head maid smiled and said, "That's easy to arrange. Liu Miaoshou is not only skilled in fertility diagnosis, but also in medicinal cuisine. The princess said that she would invite him to give guidance on medicinal cuisine and also to check everyone's pulse for good health. That's how the matter was settled."

"After all, this matter may not be related to the young master and young mistress; it's just that their time for having children hasn't come yet."

Upon hearing this, the princess found it reasonable and thus finalized the matter.

Three days later, Liu Miaoshou was invited to Prince Dun's residence.

After giving instructions on the medicinal diet, the princess asked him to check the pulses of his family members to ensure their well-being.

Upon hearing this, Wei Qingrou breathed a sigh of relief and happily began to dress up, preparing for her trip to the North Courtyard.

Qin Ping'an was left lying on the couch, his eyes filled with unsatisfied resentment.

Seeing his reproachful look, Wei Qingrou felt weak all over.

Qin Ping'an was indeed a dissolute scoundrel, dragging her around day and night, only thinking about doing those shameless things.

Wei Qingrou refused to comply, so Qin Ping'an made her busy with the business of Qianyu Tower, otherwise she would have to work hard to have children, which made Wei Qingrou suffer unspeakably.

Fortunately, the princess summoned me today, so I can finally be free.

"You can run away for a while, but you can't run away forever. Just go ahead, I'll wait for you here." Qin Ping'an gritted his teeth inwardly.

"Husband, why don't you go too? This Liu Miaoshou is skilled in medicinal cuisine. You can ask him more questions. Maybe it will help Qianyulou's business."

Wei Qingrou coaxed him gently. As long as she didn't do anything tedious, she was in a good mood and happy to coax him.

Upon hearing the invitation, Qin Ping'an figured he had nothing better to do, so he decided to go with her.

Upon their arrival, the two saw a slender, scholarly-looking doctor sitting upright in the main hall, exuding a gentle and courteous demeanor.

The Great Zhao Dynasty was known for its open-mindedness. Although there was a rule that women and children in the inner quarters should not meet with men outside, wealthy and powerful families never rigidly adhered to the rules and lived freely and unrestrained lives.

When the princess saw Wei Qingrou arrive, her eyes lit up, and she quickly introduced her to Imperial Physician Liu: "Master Liu, this is my youngest son's wife. Please examine her pulse to ensure her well-being."

After saying that, the princess smiled and looked at Wei Qingrou: "Qingrou, Liu Miaoshou is good at medicinal cuisine to nourish the spirit, but Liu Miaoshou said that the medicinal cuisine should be prepared according to the individual's constitution and cannot be done haphazardly. That's why we need to check Ping An's pulse."

Wei Qingrou didn't mind this at all, and obediently sat down as the princess said.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Dr. Liu."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Chunxi placed the snow-white handkerchief on Wei Qingrou's wrist, Liu Miaoshou rolled up her sleeves, steadily took her pulse, and closed her eyes to feel the pulse beating.

The princess stared intently at Liu Miaoshou's fingertips, her heart pounding with anxiety.

Now her son stays in Qingrou's room every night, but there's no sign of them, which is really worrying her.

If Qingrou really has a problem, what should she do? The princess frowned slightly.
