Haitang's voice was clear and loud, like a slap on Qin An's face, hurting him.

"I won't go there again!"

Qin An asked in confusion, "What...what happened? Did I do something wrong?"

Haitang understood that she had been taking advantage of Qin An. She felt that she was a very bad girl and did not deserve such a sincere and passionate love from Qin An.

"You didn't do anything wrong, just don't bother me anymore and I won't look for you anymore, that's all."

Qin An was stunned for a while, then said

"Haitang! Tell me what happened to you. Don't be so cold to me, okay? Don't bear it all by yourself. I know you must be speaking in a sarcastic way. You are not like that!"

Haitang said firmly, "I didn't say that, it was just what I really thought. Don't contact me anymore, we are not suitable for each other!"

Qin An's eyes were slightly red. He couldn't understand why the once lively, cute and greedy little Haitang suddenly became so cold and distant today.

Qin An suppressed the bitterness in his heart, forced a smile and said, "Hahaha, I know, I just treat you as my sister! Don't you always call me Brother Qin An?"

Haitang said immediately, "We don't have to be brothers and sisters anymore. You are a guard of the Qianqing Gate, and you have a promising future. How dare a little maid like me marry someone so high? If I contact you privately, it will be bad for your reputation if it gets out. Let's stop here!"

After saying that, Haitang turned around and wanted to leave. Qin An quickly stepped forward and grabbed her arm.

"Does it have to be like this?" Qin An asked with bloodshot eyes.

"Yes! Let me go. We are in public." Haitang said

After hearing this, Qin An let Haitang go and allowed her to leave without looking back.

Concubine Qing and Ying'er, who were far away, happened to see the two of them arguing with each other.

Ying'er said curiously, "Look, madam, isn't that Haitang beside Concubine Yu? Who is the other one? He looks like a guard!"

Concubine Qing looked at the two of them, as if she was saying something. Haitang wanted to leave, but the man held Haitang, not wanting her to leave.

Concubine Qing said, "I don't know either."

Qin An left here in a daze, feeling that those beautiful days were just a dream. When he woke up, Haitang also left.

It was not until he got closer and saw the feet in front of him that Qin An raised his head. When he saw that it was Concubine Qing, he quickly bowed and saluted.

"Your humble servant pays respects to Concubine Qing!"

Concubine Qing said, "Get up. Looking at you, are you patrolling around here?"

Qin An thought for a moment and said, "Yes, that's right."

Concubine Qing said, "Well, go get busy."

Qin An said, "Yes, I will take my leave."

After Qin An left, Ying'er said curiously, "Madam, the relationship between this guard and Haitang must be complicated!"

Concubine Qing did not continue Ying'er's topic, but just urged, "Okay, let's go."

Hall

Song Qingwan saw Haitang coming back and was asking about the situation. "How is it? What do you think? Have you explained it to him clearly?"

Haitang's face was not very good, she just nodded and said, "My lord, I have explained everything clearly..."

Song Qingwan looked at Haitang and said, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad? What did you say to him just now?"

Haitang hesitated and said, "My lord, I..."

Just then a voice rang out from outside the door: "Empress Qing has arrived!"

After hearing this, Song Qingwan said, "Okay, Concubine Qing is here, hurry up and calm down, don't think about anything else."

Haitang smiled and said, "Yes, I understand."

Soon after, Concubine Qing came in. Song Qingwan and Haitang quickly stood up and saluted. After asking Concubine Qing to sit down, Song Qingwan was afraid that Concubine Qing would see that Haitang was worried and looked unhappy, so she said

"Haitang, I'm a little hungry. Go to the kitchen and make me some Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup. Let Yingcan come in and serve me!"

Haitang understood what her mistress meant, so she lowered her head and said, "Yes, I'll go right away."

After saying that, he left. Concubine Qing subconsciously glanced at Haitang who was lowering her head.

Yingcan came up, served tea to Concubine Qing and Song Qingwan, then stood aside.

Concubine Qing said, "I brought you a lot of supplements this time. You can eat them to replenish your body and give birth to a big fat son like the fifth prince!"

Song Qingwan stroked her belly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I like your two princesses very much and hope they are daughters~"

Concubine Qing smiled and said, "If you give birth to a daughter, that would be great. Concubine Yu is very smart and beautiful. If she gives birth to a little princess, she will definitely be as beautiful as you!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for making a fool of myself. In fact, I like both the princess and the prince. They are my favorites." Song Qingwan said

"Yes, as a mother, no matter what the child is like, the mother will always love him. How many months is the baby now?" Concubine Qing asked

"Your Majesty, it has been more than seven months." Song Qingwan replied

"Okay, when you are eight months old, I can arrange for your family to come to the palace to see you!" said Concubine Qing.

When Song Qingwan heard this, she was overjoyed. "Really, Madam? My family can come to the palace to visit me!"

Concubine Qing smiled and said, "Yes, of course it's true. Just take good care of your pregnancy! After some time, your family will be able to enter the palace!"

Song Qingwan asked, "Then why did Concubine Kang... not remember her family entering the palace?"

Concubine Qing reminded her, "Sister, you forgot that Concubine Kang gave birth prematurely. She was less than eight months pregnant, so her family had not yet entered the palace! Therefore, her honor was not realized."

Song Qingwan just remembered it and said self-deprecatingly, "Yes, yes, look at my memory!"

Concubine Qing looked at Song Qingwan's belly and said, "Just now, my sister said that it's not even eight months yet. Why does my sister's belly look bigger than usual for this month?"

Song Qingwan's eyes flashed with panic, and then she looked at her belly and said, "I've been greedy lately, and I always feel hungry, so my belly is bigger!"

Concubine Qing joked, "It's better to be greedy! You want to give birth to a white and plump baby, but you can't starve yourself. It's not good to be as thin as you~"

Song Qingwan then raised her head and said, "Yes, I understand."

Concubine Qing said, "I plan to order the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare a sedan chair for you, so that you can travel more conveniently."

It would be a lie to say that I am not moved. Yufangzhai is a remote place. No matter where you go, you have to travel a long way! Song Qingwan stood up and said gratefully, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"

Concubine Qing quickly said, "Why are you so polite? You are pregnant. Sit down!"

At this time, Haitang also brought up the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup.

"My dear, the stew is ready, eat it while it's hot!"

Seeing this, Concubine Qing said, "Then eat quickly, sister. I will leave first!"

Song Qingwan said, "Yes, I will send you off respectfully!"

When leaving, Concubine Qing's eyes inadvertently moved to Song Qingwan's belly...
