The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

"Of course, I will stay far away and watch the fun."

Back in the room, Meng Wen Yao gossiped with Cui Zhu, wondering which concubine Wu Qinfang would fight with first.

Before anyone could figure out what was going on, they heard that a few concubines had started fighting, and Wu Qinfang went to break up the fight and was beaten up.

Cuizhu went to inquire and came back laughing so hard that she fell backwards. "The uncle didn't make any distinction between the four concubines, but when Wu Qinfang divided the courtyard and things, she wanted to classify them. They were all from the princess's side, and no one was willing to give in, so the four concubines quarreled. Then Wu Qinfang took the opportunity to stir up trouble, trying to make the concubines fight each other. As a result, they soon realized that it was Wu Qinfang who instigated the fight, and they openly fought, but in fact they all hit Wu Qinfang. I heard that Wu Qinfang was carried back later."

He really wanted to be a troublemaker, but ended up getting all the dirty water thrown on himself.

It is said that when Yongping Earl found out, he didn't say anything. He just wanted to have a few sons as soon as possible and didn't care at all about the war between the women in the backyard.

In order to get some peace and quiet, he even canceled the daily family meals. He also stopped going to the backyard and asked the concubine who slept with him every night to go to the front yard.

Every day Meng Wen Yao listened to the fight between Wu Qinfang and several concubines in the main courtyard, which was more exciting than watching a drama.

In the evening, when Shi Nanan came back, she told him the story as a joke. After hearing it a few times, Shi Nanan began to reflect on himself.

"There are so many women in this backyard. It's really more bloody than on the battlefield. Don't worry, there will never be anyone else in my backyard in the future."

"This uncle's mansion is full of filth and smoke. My mother's grave has been moved. Let's choose a day to move back to the general's mansion."

"it is good."

On the second day, the couple went to the front yard to look for Yongping Bo, and happened to meet an aunt whose name they did not know. She came out of Yongping Bo's study, and her face was rosy, probably she was a favored one.

Meng Wenyao sighed, "These concubines have been serving me for almost a month. Some of them will get pregnant next month. I think when they start fighting, everyone will bleed."

Shi Nan'an laughed: "Why, you don't want to leave, you want to stay and watch the fun?"

"Not really. If you can leave, leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, it won't be good to get covered in blood."

With that said, both of them were invited into the study. Shi Nan'an got straight to the point and said, "I heard from Anzhou that my mother has been buried. Yao'er and I want to take some time to go back and pay respect to our mother, so we came here to say goodbye to you."

Not accompanying him back to the hometown for the burial and going back to pay respects after the burial was probably just an excuse. Earl Yongping immediately knew that Shi Nanan did not want to live in the Earl's Mansion.

His heart ached, his eyes began to turn red, and he choked up and said, "We have only been together for less than a hundred days, and you are leaving?"

"But the house has been uneasy lately. Are you not used to it?"

When he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Meng Wenyao, who quickly shook her head: "We are in the west wing, so the hustle and bustle of the mansion doesn't affect us."

"Then why do you want to leave the mansion? I've said that the position of the Crown Prince of this mansion will belong to Nan'an in the future. How can the Crown Prince leave the mansion and live there?"

Shi Nanan didn't care about the position of the crown prince. He evaded the question, saying, "Father, you should leave the crown prince to Chengwang. He is the grandson of King Kang. Otherwise, King Kang would not agree."

"It's not his turn to disagree. The princess is so vicious. I didn't divorce her, which was enough to save face for the Kangwang Mansion. They can't even think of interfering in the position of the crown prince."

Meng Wenyao and Shi Nan'an still insisted on leaving, and Yongping Bo was so excited that he burst into tears.

"This is retribution for being a father! Both of my sons are infertile."

Yongping Bo thought that Meng Wenyao and Shi Nan'an did not know that Shen Chengwang was inhumane, so he explained it to them in detail.

"Now, if my Shen family wants to pass on its descendants, we can only rely on me to take a concubine and give birth to a bastard. At that time, the title will still be passed on to you, and you can choose one from the bastard's descendants to adopt as your own. If you pass away, who will be able to take over my mansion after I die a hundred years later?"

"Nan'an!"

Yongping Earl held Shi Nan'an's hand and said emotionally: "It took several generations for our Shen family to produce two talented generals like us. If we cannot pass on the Earl's Mansion, this Earl's Mansion will be in decline in a few years."

"Shen Chengwang is incompetent. Even if I give birth to a son born out of wedlock, he may not be talented. Even if he is talented, he will be too young and I will not be able to wait to raise him. Nan'an, this mansion can only rely on you to support it."

Yongping Bo was crying with tears streaming down his face. When he bent his head to wipe his tears, the white hair on his head was clearly visible.

Just over two months ago, they were the same age as the generals and warriors in their prime, but now they are in their twilight years.

Shi Nan'an turned to look at Meng Wen Yao, who nodded helplessly. If she disagreed, Earl Yongping would definitely go to Minister Meng to cry and complain, and at that time, the two of them would most likely have to stay out of filial piety.

Moreover, at this time, Earl Yongping was in a relatively fragile mood. Perhaps after a year or two, when a few children were born in the Earl's mansion, Earl Yongping would no longer be obsessed with keeping them.

More than half a month passed like this, and one day Meng Wen Yao heard that Earl Yongping had invited the imperial physician into the mansion.

He hurriedly asked Cuizhu to go and find out whether one of his aunts was pregnant. If so, the struggle would become public knowledge.

Cuizhu ran out quickly and came back quickly.

"Miss, something has happened. Although one of the concubines is pregnant, the concubine is having an affair with the princess."

"what?!"

There was such an exciting thing, Meng Wenyao picked up her shoes and ran towards the main courtyard.

When they arrived at the main hall, they saw that everyone was sitting together waiting for Earl Yongping to speak. Meng Wen Yao quietly found a seat and sat down, watching the excitement in front of her quietly.

"Master, I am innocent. This child is really yours."

At this time, Fang Hui was also invited out of the room. Yongping Bo glanced at her indifferently and asked, "Chunhua is pregnant, why do you let people say it's due to an affair? You know there is no evidence, you are slandering!"

The princess, who had been imprisoned for many days, originally wanted to see the lonely look on Yongping Earl's face after working hard for several months and getting nothing in return.

Who would have thought that Chunhua was actually pregnant? How was this possible? She had been feeding the medicine to Earl Yongping for a year, and Shi Nan'an had only taken it for a month. The imperial physician had concluded that she would not get pregnant, so it would be strange for Earl Yongping to get pregnant.

She sat down leisurely. Since the couple had already fallen out, there was no need to save any face at all.

Anyway, Earl Yongping didn't dare to divorce his wife, so what could happen if she said it directly?

She wiped her mouth elegantly with a handkerchief and said, "After giving birth to Chengwang, my body was not good. The imperial physician said that it would be difficult to get pregnant. Even if I did get pregnant, I was afraid that I would not be able to give birth and it would hurt my body even more.

At that time, the Duke said that he would be satisfied with only Chengwang, and I believed it, so I gave the Duke some sterilization drugs to prevent me from accidentally getting pregnant and having a miscarriage, which would hurt my body. "
