Chapter 426

A trace of haze flashed across Li Xueyan's eyes.

After the banquet last night.

Li Xueyan quietly found Li Shizhen and asked him to take her pulse, wanting to know when she could get pregnant.

After all.

She and Qin Mu had been husband and wife for a long time, but her belly just wouldn't cooperate.

Li Xueyan was naturally very anxious in her heart.

But the result of Li Shizhen's diagnosis was like a thunderbolt to Li Xueyan.

"Princess Consort, forgive this old man's words, within two years, your body will not be able to give birth to a dragon son!"

"The Princess Consort once fought on the battlefield for many years, and her body did not receive good protection, suffering much damage; she needs to rest for two years, after which she can conceive normally." Hearing this, Li Xueyan collapsed on the spot.

Cannot give birth to children!?

If I cannot continue the lineage for Qin Mu, then what is the meaning of my existence as the Princess Consort?

Two years!

It will take another two years!

Perhaps for an ordinary family, two years is nothing.

But Qin Mu is different!

He is the King of Great Qin!

Two years after being named Princess Consort, no offspring.

This matter will likely be discussed by people with ulterior motives.

After thinking it over.

Li Xueyan made a decision.

Yes!

This decision was to let Wu Meiniang replace her and give birth to a dragon seed for Qin Mu!

Before Wu Meiniang served in the bedroom, Li Xueyan had Li Shizhen take her pulse.

No problems!

Li Xueyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

And so.

She couldn't wait to bring Wu Meiniang to Qin Mu's bedroom.

The subsequent events followed logically.

And all of this was just a secret buried in Li Xueyan's heart.

No one knows!

And she won't let anyone know!

As long as it is good for Qin Mu, any price she pays is worth it.

Soon.

The three of them arrived at Qin Mu's bedroom.

"Knock knock knock!"

Princess Changle knocked gently, laughing: "Brother-in-law, Sister Meiniang, time to get up!

It's not early anymore, we should prepare to set off!"

"Hey! Sister Changle, wait a moment!"

A flustered voice from Wu Meiniang came from inside the bedroom.

A moment later.

The palace door opened.

Wu Meiniang walked out with a married woman's bun, her face flushed red.

At this time, she was still a young girl, but with that unique bun, she also had a special charm.

Such a woman is truly rare in the world!

"Hehehe, Sister Meiniang, how was last night?"

Princess Changle teased maliciously.

"Sister Changle, you, why do you always bully people?"

Being teased like this by Princess Changle, Wu Meiniang became even more embarrassed, lowering her head shyly, her face blushing until it was about to drip blood.

"Giggle!"

Li Xueyan behind her also laughed non-stop.

When Wu Meiniang came out, she already understood that her hard work hadn't been in vain.

Next, just wait for the good news from Wu Meiniang's belly!

"Alright, don't bully Meiniang anymore." Empress Zhangsun smiled, kindly holding Wu Meiniang's hand, gently saying: "Meiniang, from today on you are my daughter-in-law, and we are a family. Don't ever think of yourself as a servant again; Qin Mu will give you your status sooner or later, it's just not the right time yet, after all, Qin Mu is about to lead the army on a personal expedition."

"Empress, I understand!"

Wu Meiniang nodded hurriedly.

She didn't dare to be the slightest bit disrespectful to Empress Zhangsun.

Like Li Xueyan.

Wu Meiniang also knew that the woman before her had a special status, and in a sense, was her mother-in-law.

"Silly sister, still calling me Empress? Time to change how you address me!"

Li Xueyan laughed.

Empress Zhangsun also looked at Wu Meiniang with anticipation.

Wu Meiniang immediately understood what she meant, lowering her head shyly, and called out in a voice like a mosquito.

"Oh, Sister Meiniang, what did you just say? Your voice is too small!"

Princess Changle deliberately pricked up her ears, pretending she hadn't heard anything.

"Giggle!"

Li Xueyan and Empress Zhangsun also laughed non-stop.

"Mother."

"Oh, Sister Changle, you really are something!" Wu Meiniang was teased until her pretty face was flushed red, and having no choice, she raised her volume again and shouted loudly: "Mother!"

"Yes!" Empress Zhangsun answered with joy, and then took out a red envelope from her sleeve: "Here, this is for you; as a new daughter-in-law, you should always get a lucky start."

"Thank you, Mother!"

Wu Meiniang hurriedly took the red envelope with both hands and bowed respectfully.

"Mother, you're biased! Why don't I have one?"

Li Xueyan puffed out her little cheeks, looking at Empress Zhangsun like a spoiled child.

"Giggle, silly girl, when you married, I didn't know Qin Mu's identity yet, did I?"

Empress Zhangsun shook her head helplessly and smiled.

"Hmph! No! I want one too!"

Li Xueyan raised her little head, refusing to give up no matter what.

In the end.

She was just a young girl, only two or three years older than Princess Changle and Wu Meiniang.

"Alright! Everyone gets one!"

"Mother, I want one too!"

"Go away, you haven't married yet, why give you one?"

"Giggle!"

Outside the bedroom, bursts of laughter drifted away like silver bells.

Outside the gates of Hancheng.

It was a sea of people.

The neat and uniform army waited quietly.

Everyone's gaze was focused on the back in the very front.

Under the vast sky, there was not a single movement.

The atmosphere was solemn and grave.
