Spoiled Wife - C97 The Mind of King Duan

Arriving at the empress dowager’s Tzu Ning Palace, sure enough, she was once again warmly received by the empress dowager. She chattered a great deal, but it was nothing more than to pay attention to your safety and return alive.

Prince Xian could only nod in agreement. In the end, the empress dowager asked, “You can always come back during the Spring Festival, right?”

“Mother, don’t worry. It won’t be long this time. In winter, you have to rest up. Even the barbarians will not be willing to continue fighting.”

“That’s good. Imperial Mother is worried about you, so how can you live in such a dangerous place by yourself?” The empress dowager was indeed worried. It was said that the Guanbei was desolate and sparsely populated, with winds and sand blowing everywhere. How could it be as comfortable as the capital?

At this point, King Duanren didn’t know how to reply. The empress dowager didn’t need him to say anything either. She had an endless stream of words to say. “Have you prepared everything?”

“The princess is ready for me.” The expression on Prince Xian’s face unconsciously softened as he spoke of her as an imperial concubine.

Ever since Shen Qi knew that he was going to the battlefield, she started to make preparations. Every day, she would add in whatever she thought of, and the dried meat was even more so, in order for him to be able to eat there. The ingredients were all categorized and packed into large boxes, on the battlefield, the swords had no eyes, and the medicinal ingredients were all essential.

The knee guards were all made by the wristband guards personally by the princess herself, and a rather strange mitten with exposed fingers. King Duanren thought that it was very good, when Shen Qi made these gloves, she also thought that she would expose herself, but later on she saw that the ancients also had gloves of this kind.

Such gloves were not invented by wealthy families, but rather invented by poor families. They could not afford a warm stove, so it was inconvenient for them to wrap them all up for work. Afterwards, they invented such a warm thing that could cover the back of their hands while exposing their fingers.

Shen Qi just had to work slightly to become something similar to modern gloves. That way, it wouldn’t arouse any suspicion even if she was seen by her fellow countrymen.

Meanwhile, the empress dowager felt a pang in her heart when she saw Prince Xian speak of his consort. Jing Ze didn’t want to get close to her, but he treated her well.

Thinking of something, the empress dowager asked, “What’s wrong with wangfei?” It had already been over a month, he should be pregnant by now, right?!

Prince Xian was puzzled by these words. The wangfei was fine and healthy, so how could she be unwell?

The empress dowager saw that he didn’t understand so she simply asked, “You guys have already made love these past few days. Has there been any movement in the princess’ stomach?”

They had only been reunited a month ago, and the Queen Mother had already started urging them on. This … could it be that fast?

Moreover, the princess was still young, so he had already asked the imperial physician. Not only was it difficult for a woman to give birth too early, it was also bad for her health. If he wasn’t impatient for her to become his, then another year or two would be the best.

But he couldn’t control his impulses, feeling that one day he might not be able to control his emotions. Even so, he still paid attention to avoid dangerous times as much as possible, and had the imperial physician prescribe contraceptives that would minimize the effects on his body. Of course, it was for him to eat.

Shen Qi didn’t know about any of these, and she didn’t want to give birth so early either. Therefore, she avoided entering the egg laying period and the prince’s room, trying her best to avoid entering, so as to clean up after the event in time. She thought that this was already very safe, so she naturally didn’t think that the prince would actually have this kind of awareness.

Even the best medicine would be harmful to the body. He didn’t want his wife to suffer the same fate as him, so he had already prepared the medicine long ago.

If the empress dowager knew, she’d probably faint, and it’d definitely be hard for the wangfei to do so, so Prince Duanren didn’t tell anyone else. With the secret going on, the imperial physician could be trusted by the estate as well.

However, this was always a time to pacify the empress dowager, so Prince Duan said, “Imperial Mother, don’t worry. The wangfei is still young, so the child will eventually have one.”

“This one is also impatient.” The empress dowager also felt that she was too impatient. It was indeed inappropriate for her to ask such a question even though the room had been filled with people for a month. If he gave Jing Ze another servant, would he be able to get a grandson soon?

As if he had seen through her thoughts, he directly said, “Mother, I am going to the front to fight. It is inconvenient for me to bring along women.” This was a tactful rejection.

Her Majesty was somewhat embarrassed when she brought up the matter of Lan Xin, so she did not voice her thoughts when she heard him say so.

After saying a few more words of warning, he let Duke Xian leave. When the Duke came out of the Tzu Ning Palace, he actually met an old acquaintance.

There was not a day that Lan Xin hadn’t regretted ever since she had returned to the palace. If she had listened to her mother’s words before, how would she be like now? Could it be that he had already achieved his goal of becoming the king’s woman?

Every time he thought about it, he felt both unresigned and wronged. He was already so close to his goal, so why did he still end up like this?

When they returned to the palace, even if the palace maids who served her previously did not know what had happened, they no longer treated her with the respect they had at the start. After all, she still had the Aunt Ning protecting her, but he did not know how to laugh at her behind her back.

She had heard a few courteous court ladies make a fool of her, ridiculing her for wanting to fly up the branch and become a phoenix, only to end up in a puddle when she was too weak. At that time, she really wanted to go up and tear them apart.

But in fact, he was kicked out because of a mistake, and staying in the palace now was all due to his mother’s help. She couldn’t be wrong now, or else his mother wouldn’t be able to protect her.

Mother Qian thought that once people forgot about this matter, she would find someone to marry to. On the surface, she promised, but only she knew how unreconciled she was. She had been so close to King Xian, so how could she be willing to marry like this?

It was not a secret that King Duan wanted to go to the borders, and Lan Xin had naturally long heard of this matter. And today, the moment King Yuan entered the palace, Lan Xin received the news, she knew that the Duke would definitely come to the Tzu Ning Palace, so she waited outside.

She wanted to fight for herself. If she succeeded, then she could continue to stay by the prince’s side. If she didn’t succeed, then she could peacefully get married.

He directly wanted to leave past her. Today, he had entered the palace without any guards, so he didn’t want to cause any problems at this time.

But Lan Xin took the initiative to run over and pay her respects. “Your servant will participate, Your Highness.”

King Xian nodded without any intention to stay. Lan Xin bit her lips with a face full of grievance and stubbornness. “Prince, would you mind listening to a few words from this servant?”

King Xian narrowed his eyes. It was already an exception for this palace maid that had blocked his way time and time again to allow her to return to the Dao Palace. She still wanted to come out and bounce about.

However, at this time, he also wanted to hear what she had to say. Just based on her scheme, he had to get closer to Princess Hua-Yang. This king will grant his wish.

Thus, he said expressionlessly, “Go ahead.” There was no sound of joy or anger in the voice.

In fact, she was also afraid that the prince wouldn’t be willing to listen to her speak. At this moment, when she heard his approval, she immediately felt that the prince was not completely without her in his heart, so she became happy again.

“I heard that Your Highness is going to the front line, so I dared to ask Your Highness if you could bring me along?” This servant has some knowledge of medicine and is able to help His Highness. Moreover, this servant is not afraid of hard work or tiredness. As long as I can help His Highness, this servant will be satisfied. ” After Lan Xin finished speaking in a single breath, she looked at King Duanren with anticipation. She felt that her confession would definitely move King Duanren.

Who didn’t know that the border pass had always been a cold and bitter place? Who in the capital would want to live in such a place? She felt that even if it was a wangfei, she still wouldn’t be able to follow the prince like this. Since she could do it, she would definitely be able to move the prince.

“Why should This King bring you along?” Don’t you need your medical skills, Imperial Physician? ” He felt that this kind of woman was overestimating herself, causing him to lose his patience.

Lan Xin’s face immediately paled. “Prince …” Tears welled up in his eyes. Prince Duanren was already impatient. It was a great sin to delay his return to the estate to visit the wangfei.

Just as the Prince was about to get angry and Orchid wanted to express his feelings further, the Tzu Ning Palace directly brought the palace maid over.

The first thing he wanted to do was to ask for forgiveness, common mama said with an embarrassed tone, “Please forgive my apologies, Your Highness, this old servant will immediately bring him away.” Then, he ordered the palace maids beside him to cover Lan Xin’s mouth and drag her away.

King Duan waved his hand. No matter how they dealt with it, he left the palace immediately. He knew that his mother wouldn’t spare Lan Xin this time.

The empress dowager was so angry that her lungs were about to explode inside the Tzu Ning Palace. When the servants reported that Lan Xin had actually blocked King Duanren’s path, she knew that Lan Xin hadn’t given up yet. At this time, she was ashamed and embarrassed at the same time.
