C42

Summer air wave after wave, the eyelid drowsiness, recently obvious lethargy, mother-in-law said, pregnant women are the most easy to doze off.

Ever since I exposed Yang Guang, he had left the Yuanxin Pavilion, and had not even set foot in it. To the outside world, he was afraid that he would cause me to become pregnant, so he only chose to stay in the room. My heart was cold. It was probably because I had exposed his intentions that he refused to face my ice-cold gaze.

Everyone in the mansion didn't know what had happened between us. At first, they thought that Prince Jin was very busy with government affairs and didn't have the time to pay attention to me. As time passed, people couldn't help but notice some clues.

That day, I was leaning on the couch in a daze, still had the last corner of the map of the son of a bitch unfinished, the most recent melancholy was always getting heavier, although I was also worried about the damage to the fetus, but that sadness could not be dispelled no matter what. Grandma burned a stick of fragrance for me, sighed, and said:

Princess, although this old servant has a lowly status, I have lived with the princess for 4 to 5 years. Seeing how the princess has grown up and treated her like her own daughter, this old servant should not have meddled with the matters between the princess and Prince Jin.

After Grandma said this, my heart actually turned sour. My eyes became misty as I called out:

"Grandma — —" I nestled my face in Grandma's embrace. At this moment, the grievances of the past few days burst forth, and tears gushed out of my eyes like water from a dam. Nanny gently patted my back, did not advise me, let me cry happily.

The grudge that had settled in my heart slowly opened up at this moment. It turned out that people needed to vent. After I finished crying, I washed my face and said to my mother-in-law.

"Granny, I have caused everyone to worry."

The old granny smiled, as if she understood everything, and slowly said:

"As for the reason, the princess doesn't need to tell the old servant. The old servant only reminded the princess: In the palace, if you want to stand firmly, it's not something that can be maintained just by love." The nanny looked outside to confirm that there was no one outside before she continued, "Even the current Emperor and Empress may not have come to this case because of the old days of Confucianism and ridicule."

"But if there is no emotion, what is the meaning of forcing laughter? I might as well just ignore it. " I said angrily.

Nanny slightly shook her head and looked at me with hidden worry.

"In my opinion, Prince Jin still has some feelings for the princess. Why would the princess reject him like that?" In this world, there are very few men who would only be willing to pay one person with their hearts filled with love. Princess, you should understand this. "

"Love?" I don't think there's a single cent. " I was a little emotional, my voice was trembling slightly. Recalling that we had only been married for a few months, Yang Guang actually went to the brothel to have fun.

The old woman quickly indicated for me to whisper and said, "Princess, no matter what happened between you and Prince Jin, you are still the princess' concubine. This old servant knows that the prince is no ordinary person, if he were to become a ninth or fifth year old in the future, the princess would be the mother of a country. Private love between children and women is complete, but it is insignificant in the royal family. It is equivalent to nothing, so the princess has to think twice. "

What Grandma said was sincere and did not allow me to have the slightest doubt. Was a woman from the royal family destined to abandon the love between her children? Tired, too tired. I slowly raised my head and looked at the vermilion light embroidered on the top of the tent, my mind was in chaos. My originally unwavering heart gradually collapsed under my mother-in-law's words.

Grandma silently accompanied me, not a sound, only to look at me expectantly, only after a long time, said:

"I hope that this old servant will not make a mistake. The princess is definitely not an ordinary woman and can tolerate anything. For the sake of the tens of thousands of commoners and the princess' child, the princess must fight for her."

I slowly let out a sigh, painfully stitching the broken strands of silk in my heart, and said to Grandma,

"Bring me the copper mirror."

I stared at the reflection in the mirror in silence. It had only been a few days, but I was already so haggard. No wonder my mother-in-law and the others could see that I was in such a bad mood.

I carefully adjusted my makeup. The Jade Magnolia Pearl Powder that the Queen gave me at the time of the wedding really had the effect of bringing the dead back to life. I carefully smeared them layer by layer.

"Is Your Highness in the mansion today?" I asked Chen, who was standing to one side.

"Probably. This servant isn't too sure." Chen Zhen replied. In the bronze mirror, I saw that Chen was a little uncomfortable.

"Help me out for a walk." I got up, helped Chen out of Yuanxin Pavilion, and took a stroll in the mansion to admire the flowers.

I did not go to the Cold Star Pavilion to look for Yang Guang, I needed more than enough time to calm my mind. Furthermore, if I directly went to look for him, it would cause him to look down upon me.

I couldn't think of an excuse to go to the Cold Star Pavilion. I was afraid that he would be in the mansion, but also afraid that he wouldn't be here, so after thinking about it for a while, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Yang Guang has someone around me, so perhaps my every move is already in his eyes.

He suddenly regretted how foolish he had been. Why did he trust him so much? I had his eyes and ears at my side. I do not have the slightest understanding of him. However, if I were to use more scheming tactics and place some people by his side, I'm afraid that I would not even know how to find traces of him today, right?

After strolling like this, I walked to the back garden. After a few days of not seeing each other, the flowers in the garden had already bloomed quite a bit. A faint fragrance drifted over with the wind.

After a while, the gray fog in the sky started to grow dimmer and dimmer. The clouds were layer by layer, and in the time it took for an incense stick to burn, dark clouds had covered the sky. The sky was dark and the afternoon had turned to dusk.

All of a sudden, a gust of wind blew my long gauze skirt into the air, causing it to fly in the air. My hair also flew with it, but it cleared away all the dryness of the day and cooled down.

"Princess, it's going to rain. Shall we go back?" Chen Zhen said.

From the looks of it, the rain wouldn't stop for another two to three hours. I stood up and helped Chen Zhong walk towards the Yuanxin Pavilion.

Summer rain always comes in such a rush, the wind just blew, a burst of lightning, the raindrops the size of beans came crashing down, but I, Chen Huan, and I are still some distance away from Yuanxin Pavilion.

However, this distance was Yang Guang's training field. Since there were no houses in sight, Chen Ying and I had nowhere to hide. Suddenly, we saw a thick banyan tree in front of us.

"Princess has an imperial heir, so your body cannot be exposed to the rain. First, you should hide under the Banyan tree for a while. This servant will go back to retrieve the umbrella."

"Sure." I saw that the rain was too heavy and it was really inconvenient for me to leave, so I stood under the banyan tree and made Chen Zhuo go and come back quickly.

Chen Hung slipped out into the rain, and I stopped to watch. When the raindrops fell on the great banyan tree, they were stopped quite a bit. A few drops of water were shattered by the leaves, flying out of the gap between the trees and landing on my body. It felt slightly cold.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and soon it was pouring down from the leaves, and the rain was getting thicker and thicker, and my clothes were getting wet. Anxiously looking into the distance, Chen has still not been seen.

If this goes on, I'm afraid my clothes will be soaked by the time Chen has returned.

As he hesitated, he saw the banana trees in the distance crackling under the impact of the rain. The leaves of the banana trees were as big as long fans.

My heart skipped a beat as I quickly took a few steps forward. I broke off two pieces of banana leaves and placed them on top of my head. Although they weren't as convenient as an umbrella, they still covered a lot of rainwater. I lifted my skirt with one hand while holding the banana leaves with the other as I carefully walked towards the pavilion in the distance.

The road was slippery in the rain, and my clogs clattered on the wet ground. It was difficult for me to move in the face of such a heavy rain.

I walked around a small pond. Afraid that I would step on too much dirt, I turned and walked onto a path paved with marble. Suddenly, my foot slipped and I staggered. "Aiya!" I almost fell down.

He quickly stretched out his arms and tried to stabilize his body, but the banana leaf had already left his hand and landed on the ground a few steps away from me.

When I saw that it was too muddy to use, I had to cover my head with my hands and walk through the rain. The rain came crashing down on me and poured down on my head and ran down my face, and I was lost.

The water droplets at the corner of his clothes were like beads with broken strings. They flowed down from his sleeves and the hem of his skirt. The wet clothes stuck to his body making him feel extremely uncomfortable. Just a moment ago, it was extremely hot and stuffy. But now, a gust of wind blew over and I couldn't help but shiver.

"Princess …"

"Empress —"

The shouts came closer and closer. I felt relieved and wanted to raise my eyes to look. However, my eyes were captivated by the rain and I was unable to open them. He had to use his sleeve to wipe the rain off his face.

The others quickly found me. The dog ran the fastest and accidentally fell on the ground, but it desperately got up. One of its arms was holding onto the handle of the umbrella. It quickly supported itself on top of my head.

Seeing the rainwater dripping down from my hair, the dog's eyes reddened and with a tearful voice, he said:

"Princess …"

I pulled on his empty sleeve and forced a smile.

"It's nothing. It's just a bit of rain."

Everyone helped me to return to the Yuanxin Pavilion. Yue Xin busily prepared some soup for me to bathe in and change my clothes. Grandma also prepared some ginger soup to help me dispel the cold. Even so, I still felt cold and my forehead felt a little hot.

I was not willing to take medicine, for fear of hurting the fetus, so I had to endure a stomach full of nausea and drank two more cups of ginger soup, which made me sweat under the covers.

By the time I woke up in the evening, sweat had covered the sheets, but my body was much lighter.

Seeing that the servants who came to change the bedding and send off the evening meal were all maids and girls, Chen Zhen being the only one not to be seen, he could not help but feel a little surprised and asked:

"What about Chen Zhen?" If she hadn't returned for half a day, I wouldn't have gotten a small illness like this. Normally, it would have been fine, but I'm pregnant now. If I'm not careful, I might have hurt my child.

"Lady Chen came back to call for help and fell to the ground. She was quite stubborn. She forced herself to report to everyone, but she broke her knee. The doctor said it was a fracture and she needs some rest. She is currently inside the side chamber."

As soon as she said that, my anger from a moment ago turned into feelings of being moved. With a slightly apologetic tone, she said:

"I'll go take a look."

Arriving at the side hall where the maidservants lived, I saw that the one lying on one of the wooden beds was Chen Wu. I waved away the maidservants and walked over to him softly by myself, only to see that within the canopy, his eyes were tightly shut and his lips were purple.

I sat on the edge of the couch and gently stroked her furrowed brow. I felt a twinge of pity.
