Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Chapter 916 Is the Princess Consort pregnant?

"Is Second Brother really a madman, capable of doing something like this?"

Qi Yunxi felt a surge of fear. If it were someone else who did it, it would be one thing, but if it was really Qi Junming, he couldn't even imagine what would become of the Qi family.

Compared to this major event, the little mess I caused doesn't seem like much at all.

Qi He felt a surge of anger, but when he turned around, he saw Qi Yunxi's frightened expression and his face immediately changed.

He grabbed Qi Yunxi by the collar and roared, "You brat, do you know something?"

"Father, I... I don't know anything!"

"You don't know? Your eyes are clearly suspicious. Tell me right now if you know anything!"

Qi He's eyes were bloodshot. His most promising son had been killed in his own home. This was an utter disgrace!

He must marry the murderer, catch him, and tear him to pieces; otherwise, how can he face Juncheng's spirit in heaven?

Qi Yunxi looked flustered and could only explain, "Father, I really don't know, this has nothing to do with me!"

I only remembered that my second brother had been arrested by the Dali Temple after hearing that he had indeed said he hated my eldest brother and wished he would disappear from the world.

"What did you say?"

Qi He's expression changed drastically, and his voice became more anxious.

"They are brothers, how could they do such a thing?"

"Father, I'm just guessing; it might not be true."

Qi Yunxi waved his hands repeatedly. He didn't want to get involved in these matters right now. If both of his legitimate sons were to get into trouble, perhaps he, as the illegitimate son, would have a chance to rise in the world.

For him, this is also an opportunity.

……

Song Ruozhen was happily eating soft cheese and enjoying spicy chicken in the house.

She usually likes spicy food, but she also likes sweet food. Eating something spicy followed by something sweet and delicious makes her feel even better.

"The Crown Princess seems to have a much better appetite these past few days?"

Bai Zhi noticed the change in her master and couldn't help but be surprised, as her master usually didn't have such a good appetite.

Chenxiang nodded and lowered his voice, saying, "I've noticed that too. Usually, the Crown Princess has a small appetite and doesn't have that many things she wants to eat."

These past few days, not only has my appetite improved, but it seems like I'm craving more food. I've heard my wife say before that a woman's appetite improves when she's pregnant.

Not only does she like to eat, but she also likes to eat many things she wouldn't normally be interested in. Don't you think our Crown Princess's current situation is similar?

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi and Qing Teng exchanged a glance and began to consider this possibility.

The Crown Princess and the Crown Prince know all too well how good their relationship is. And looking at the Crown Prince's robust physique, it's safe to assume that his Crown Princess's pregnancy won't be long.

"It can't be true, right?"

Bai Zhi's expression visibly became excited.

In recent days, not only the Madam, but also the Old Madam of the Gu family, and even the Empress Dowager and the Empress in the palace have been subtly inquiring about this matter.

If their own Crown Princess were truly pregnant, that would be the greatest joy of all, and everyone would be overjoyed.

"Let's not say anything yet. If it's not true, the Crown Princess will feel embarrassed."

Qing Teng thought for a moment and said, "However, we have to be extra careful when serving her lately. We absolutely cannot let the Crown Princess fall. We'll buy whatever she wants to eat."

“Alright, let’s do it that way!” Bai Zhi nodded. “There’s some new brocade in the manor. I’ll have someone make a softer quilt. The weather’s getting cooler, and the Crown Princess will definitely like it.”

Qing Teng pondered for a moment and said, "Then I'll have someone make a few more pairs of soft shoes. Anyway, we'll definitely need them in the future."

Seeing that the two had already made their plans, Chenxiang immediately felt nervous.

She was the maid who had followed the young lady since childhood. Since Qing Teng and Bai Zhi came to visit, although everyone got along very well, she couldn't possibly lose to them!

She has to perform well!

Therefore, while Song Ruozhen was happily eating her snacks and marveling at what was one of life's greatest pleasures, she was completely unaware that her maids had already started...

Meanwhile, the Royal Palace.

"What? The Qi Yue Dynasty requires that only direct descendants of the royal family be eligible?"

Upon hearing this news, the Empress's heart sank. She had been worried about such a terrible situation and had been praying that Mu Yao's marriage would be settled as soon as possible without any unexpected changes.

Who would have thought that this worst-case scenario would occur? It's absolutely terrible!

"Your Highness, what should we do? Prince Qi Yue is clearly after the princess, but the princess absolutely cannot marry into his family!"

The nanny couldn't help but worry. They all knew the princess's temperament very well. Not to mention that the princess would never want to go, even if she did go, she certainly wouldn't have a good time.

"I know this, of course. With Mu Yao's temperament, if she were to marry into the family, her situation would probably not be much better than Wu Yue'er's."

Prince Qi Yue may seem to like Mu Yao on the surface, but I've seen plenty of people like that; it's just a passing fancy.

Because Mu Yao didn't like him, he felt resentful and wanted to conquer her—this was absolutely impossible!

The Empress's expression was solemn. She only had this one daughter, whom she had spoiled since childhood. She never wanted her to suffer and only hoped that she could find a good family and live a peaceful and happy life.

She absolutely could not let Mu Yao go on a marriage alliance!

Chu Muyao had been looking forward to this day ever since she learned that her mother had told her father the news.

She and Jing Shen had been in love for some time, and after spending this time together, she not only didn't dislike him, but their feelings for each other grew deeper.

She knew that if she married Jing Shen, he would treat her sincerely.

"Princess, I just went to investigate and found out that the Emperor is furious and the Qi Yue Dynasty seems to want you to go for a marriage alliance."

The young eunuch hurriedly recounted the information he had just heard. He found it unbelievable and asked twice more, but the result was the same.

"what?"

Chu Muyao felt as if the news had struck her like a bolt from the blue, and she panicked instantly.

"How could this happen? I don't want to be forced into a political marriage. That despicable guy Wu Jingshuo, I'd rather die than marry him!"

Thinking of this, Chu Muyao hurriedly went to find the Empress.

However, as soon as they arrived at the courtyard, they heard their father and mother talking inside.

"Your Majesty, Mu Yao is our daughter!"

You know her temperament; she would never agree to a political marriage. If she went to the Qi Yue Dynasty, her life would be completely ruined!

The empress's voice was filled with pain. She only had this one daughter, how could she bear to watch her go to a political marriage?

This departure means we'll never see each other again in this lifetime!
