Chapter 66: The Heir Apparent Doesn't Care

Rong Juan had been reborn more than once and was very cold, but at this moment, his heart held a bit more tenderness.

Qin Bi's pregnancy was not announced. There was no other reason; in this world, there was a saying that it was not easy to announce a pregnancy before the fetus was full-term, as it was bad for the fetus. Anything bad for the fetus, Rong Juan would not do.

In fact, Qin Bi's body was very good, but she couldn't withstand Rong Juan's nervousness.

The next day, Qin Bi ate fresh beast meat, and Little Tuanzi ate along with her. One big and one small, in Rong Juan's eyes, he still had to attend court; the Rong Heir Apparent was impatient with attending court.

The little eunuch sent by the Great Yan Emperor urged him several times, but it was of no use; the Rong Heir Apparent simply wouldn't go.

Qin Bi ate the meat, Rong Juan fed her a spoonful of spiritual vegetable soup; Little Tuanzi ate a mouthful of meat, Rong Juan fed him a spoonful of soup. The Rong Heir Apparent enjoyed this task very much. The little eunuch stood there ignored, so he had to return to the palace to report to the Emperor.

The Great Yan Emperor was dumbfounded. He had no way to deal with this and could only review the memorials himself with He Yan.

Several Ministers and the Chancellor worried all day that Rong Juan had thoughts of rebellion. Now it was fine; the Rong Heir Apparent didn't care about attending court and ignored state affairs. He simply didn't care about state affairs, which was truly vexing.

Two days later, the Imperial Physician took the pulse and said: "The Heir Apparent Consort is nourishing very well."

How could she not? Everything she ate and drank was spiritual ingredients.

Rong Juan took Qin Bi's pulse; this pregnancy was indeed very good. A person who had been an Emperor was suspicious by nature, and he still worried that he hadn't treated Qin Bi well before they were married and that Qin Bi might not want this child.

Qin Bi cared about the child, which made Rong Juan set his heart at ease.

The eldest sister-in-law, Jiang Shi, came over once. Qin Bi and Little Tuanzi were eating spiritual fruits; the fragrance of fruit in the middle of winter was mouth-watering. Jiang Shi was surprised; it was actually a plate of rare spiritual fruits.

"You try some," Qin Bi took one for Jiang Shi.

These were good things. Jiang Shi took it and asked in surprise: "Fruit is rare in the middle of winter, and spiritual fruit is even more expensive. How can you bear to eat such expensive spiritual fruit? Who gave it to you?"

Qin Bi couldn't hide it and told Jiang Shi: "I am pregnant again."

Jiang Shi was stunned, holding the fruit and reacting for quite a while before coming to her senses. She was somewhat confused: was the fate of being a wife-killer with no heirs like this? And Qin Bi, she also had a fate of having no heirs.

These spiritual fruits were for Qin Bi to eat; Jiang Shi couldn't bear to eat them and put them back.

This was her eldest sister-in-law, not an outsider. Qin Bi picked up the spiritual fruit again and stuffed it into Jiang Shi's hand: "Eat it, one less doesn't matter. If you don't eat it, you can take it back for my little nephew to eat."

Jiang Shi refused, but Qin Bi's expression faded, so Jiang Shi took it.

Knowing Qin Bi was pregnant, Jiang Shi carefully looked around the room; everywhere was as warm as spring. That was not all; there were spiritual fruits and spiritual melon seeds in the fruit plate, and the charcoal stove was burning high-quality charcoal.

Jiang Shi touched the fabric of Qin Bi's clothes; it felt comfortable. Qin Bi looked at her, and Jiang Shi smiled: "You are a blessed one. It is good to have a child; your position as Heir Apparent Consort is stable now."

Qin Bi couldn't answer and just ate her spiritual fruit.

Jiang Shi looked at Little Tuanzi; this child was also a blessed one, held in the palm of the Rong Heir Apparent's hand and cherished. The child was also growing well, carved from pink jade; she had never seen such a good-looking child.

Qin Bi was pregnant again, and the food and clothing expenses made Jiang Shi gasp. She didn't stay long, anxious to go back and tell the family about Qin Bi's pregnancy. She sat for a while and then rose to say goodbye. Qin Bi didn't see her off, but Little Tuanzi climbed off the small couch to see her off.

"Aunt, walk well," the child said in a milky voice.

Jiang Shi: "..."

Such a small person, how could he be so polite? So cute.

Jiang Shi flicked her handkerchief and said with a smile: "Go back, Aunt is not an outsider."

Jiang Shi got into the carriage and went back to tell the family about Qin Bi's pregnancy. For this reason, Qin Di and He Shi even went to the Rong Prince Manor. It would have been better if they hadn't gone; Rong Juan protected Qin Bi too well, and He Shi remembered her eldest daughter again.

When they returned to the Qin Yan Hou Manor, He Shi felt sour in her heart once they were inside: "If my eldest daughter were still alive, this blessing would be hers. The position of Heir Apparent Consort should have been my eldest daughter's."

Here she went again; Qin Di didn't want to pay attention to her.

Qin Tang and Qin Xun and their spouses were all there, listening to He Shi's unwillingness. Qin Xun went out once and drove the maids and nannies further away. Qin Bi was already the Rong Heir Apparent's Consort; saying these things was meaningless.

Qin Xun returned to the main hall, and He Shi was still unwilling for her eldest daughter. Qin Xun said: "Mother, don't say it again. It won't be good if it reaches the Rong Prince Manor. Qin Bi won't care, but the Rong Heir Apparent will definitely be unhappy."

"This good marriage, Qin Bi picked up my eldest daughter's leftovers," He Shi said. "All these years, the entire Marquis Manor has been staring eagerly at the position of Heir Apparent Consort. Without my eldest daughter, they wouldn't even have the chance to covet it."

The Rong Prince was a powerful official; the women of the Qin Yan Hou Manor couldn't climb that high. It was only because the Immortal Sect had cast a fortune that the women of the Qin Yan Hou Manor were suitable to marry the Yan Guogong Manor's He Shizi and the Rong Prince Manor's Rong Heir Apparent. The Rong Prince had chosen the eldest daughter of the Marquis Manor's fourth branch for the Rong Heir Apparent.

The eldest daughter of the fourth branch had the highest talent and also good looks.

In He Shi's eyes, no one else could compare to her eldest daughter.

The more He Shi spoke, the more unwilling she felt. Qin Tang and Qin Xun couldn't say harsh words, but Qin Di couldn't listen anymore and chuckled: "This marriage is good. He Yan and Rong Juan are the two powerful Heir Apparents of Great Yan; they are the same. Qin He snatched the marriage, but didn't she obediently cancel the marriage with He Shizi? Without that fate, if it's not yours, you can't snatch it away."

He Shi's nagging came to an abrupt end. Rong Juan was a wife-killer with no heirs!

He Shi thought again, that wasn't right. He Shi said: "Perhaps the fortune-telling is inaccurate."

"That's easy to say," Qin Di drank a sip of tea and said: "He Yan hasn't married a wife yet. He is a ready-made master who is a wife-killer with no heirs. Who dares to marry him? Just marry him, and we have women in our Marquis Manor who have reached the age of marriage."

Qin Di put down the tea bowl and said: "When the time comes, you can see if this fortune-telling is accurate or not."

He Shi didn't make a sound, counting in her heart the women in the Marquis Manor who were to be married. There were many who wanted to marry He Yan, but He Yan might not necessarily marry them. Thinking back to when Qin He was engaged to He Yan, they were engaged twice and it didn't work out.

He Shi didn't mention this anymore and sighed: "If we hadn't separated back then, the one with a wife and children would be He Yan."

"Don't mention your maiden family to me," Qin Di was angry: "They are all from the Marquis Manor. They were about to be engaged to Qin Bi, but they chose Qin He. That would have been fine, but He Yan's fate as a wife-killer with no heirs hindered Qin He. Your sister-in-law came to propose again, and for the sake of the two families' relationship, I agreed. But what happened? To marry my daughter, they wanted to marry a flat wife as well, just to pave the way for Qin He. Separating was the right thing to do."

That was enough; Qin Di was angry, and He Shi quieted down, not saying a word.

Qin Di stood up and left. Qin Tang and Qin Xun gave He Shi another warning. He Shi was just unwilling, but now she had no more thoughts. She stood up and went to the first branch, telling the Qin Yan Hou Manor's Lady about this matter.

Hearing that Qin Bi was pregnant again, Qin Yan called Qin He's younger sister and ran to the Xue Prince Manor to tell Qin He.

In the Qin Yan Hou Manor, the women who had reached the age of marriage felt sour in their hearts when they heard this.

A few days later, Qin He was pregnant as well. ===== CHAPTER 67 =====
