Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

"Aunt, you gave birth to a child for the young master. Haven't you ever thought about becoming the young master's wife?" The maid couldn't help but ask.

Hu Wan smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "When I married into the Shen family, I made it clear that as long as Jingchuan can recognize his ancestors, other things are not important to me."

She gently stroked the child in her arms, her eyes full of maternal love and tenderness. "Now he is about to get married, as long as the future young lady can treat us mother and son well, I will be satisfied."

The maid looked at Hu Wan and could not help but feel admiration in her heart. She knew that although Hu Wan came from a humble background, she had a kind and tenacious heart. She was willing to give up her status and reputation for her son, just to give him a better future.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and Shen Liangjun walked in. When he saw Hu Wan and the child, a warm smile appeared on his face.

"Wan'er, thank you for your hard work." Shen Liangjun walked to Hu Wan and gently touched the child's face.

Hu Wan raised her head and looked at Shen Liangjun, her eyes full of happiness and satisfaction. "This is what I should do, husband. As long as you and the child are well, I will be happy."

Shen Liangjun held Hu Wan's hand and said, "Wan'er, don't worry, I will definitely treat you and your son well. From now on, you will be a member of the Shen family, and no one can bully you."

Hu Wan nodded with emotion, tears welling up in her eyes. She knew that Shen Liangjun's words meant that he recognized their mother-son relationship.

"I heard that you are going to marry a young lady." Hu Wan looked at Shen Liangjun, with a hint of confusion and curiosity in her eyes.

"Who told you that?" Shen Liangjun frowned and turned to look at the maid beside him. The maid was so scared that she lowered her head quickly, not daring to look at him.

"Don't look at her." Hu Wan stretched out her hand to block Shen Liangjun's sight. "She doesn't dare to say anything. Someone must have told her."

Shen Liangjun sighed helplessly and patted Hu Wan's hand gently: "Husband doesn't want to let you down." His voice was gentle but firm.

Hu Wan smiled slightly, with understanding and support in her eyes: "Well, I understand. But which family is this young lady from?"

Shen Liangjun was silent for a moment, as if he was having difficulty speaking. Seeing this, Hu Wan couldn't help but urge him softly, "Hmm?"

"Um... yes." Shen Liangjun was silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly, but his tone revealed a hint of hesitation and lack of confidence. His eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about how to answer this question.

"Husband, tell me what you want to say." Seeing him so hesitant, Hu Wan couldn't help but feel uneasy. She held Shen Liangjun's hand tightly, her eyes full of expectation and concern.

"It's... Si Qianyi, the daughter of the Minister of War." Shen Liangjun took a deep breath and finally said the name. His voice was low and hoarse, as if he had used up all his strength.

Hu Wan was slightly startled when she heard the name. She knew Si Qianyi, a woman of noble birth and outstanding talent. It was said that she was not only proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also had a stunning appearance.

"Miss Si is a well-educated and beautiful person," Hu Wan said. Although she felt a little disappointed, she quickly regained her composure and said with a smile, "They are indeed a perfect match."

Shen Liangjun looked at Hu Wan, and a ripple appeared in his heart. He didn't expect her to be so calm.

Hu Wan handed the child to the nanny and sat by the window, looking at the bright moon outside, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She knew that she could not become Shen Liangjun's wife after all, and could only accompany him as a concubine. But she did not regret it, because she loved Shen Liangjun deeply, and as long as she could be with him, it was enough.

Hu Wan sat quietly, her eyes empty, as if she was recalling every bit of the past. The moonlight sprinkled on her face, reflecting her inner loneliness and helplessness. "Wan'er, are you still blaming me?" Shen Liangjun came to her side at some point and asked softly. Hu Wan turned her head and looked at Shen Liangjun, with a hint of complex emotions in her eyes. "How could I blame you? I know this is the family's arrangement."

Shen Liangjun stretched out his hands and embraced Hu Wan in his arms, "I'm sorry, Wan'er, I've wronged you." Hu Wan leaned on Shen Liangjun's chest, feeling his warmth, tears flowing down her face involuntarily.

Although she said she didn't blame him, she couldn't help feeling bitter in her heart. "I don't ask for too much, I just hope to be with you forever." Hu Wan whispered. Shen Liangjun hugged Hu Wan tightly and promised: "Wan'er, I won't let you down."

As the night deepened, the two sat in each other's arms, immersed in each other's warmth. Although the future was full of uncertainty, their hearts were closely connected.

Hu Wan nodded slightly with a faint smile on her face. She knew that Shen Liangjun's words were the greatest comfort to her.

——Jingguo

Inside the General Jing's mansion, a kind-looking old man was sitting opposite a young man, and they were talking.

"Father, the war has calmed down now." The young man said. His name was Xie Xu, the son of a general of Jing State, young and promising, handsome and talented.

"Yes, the truce with the Kingdom of Yue was indeed reached because of marriage. After the stunningly beautiful princess married here, the relationship between the two countries has eased a lot." General Xie Shian said with a hint of relief on his face.

"Xu'er, now that you have reached the age of twenty, do you have anyone you like when it comes to getting married? Tomorrow I will ask your mother to ask a matchmaker to help you find someone." Xie Shian said to his son earnestly.

Hearing this, Xie Xu lowered his head slightly, with a hint of shyness on his face: "Father, I do have someone I like."

"Oh? I wonder which girl can catch my son's eye?" Xie Shian asked curiously.

Xie Xu raised his head and looked at his father firmly: "My son has fallen in love with the girl from the Jiang family."

Xie Shian frowned when he heard this: "Ms. Jiang? But that's the Queen's mother's family?"

"That's right." Xie Xu replied.

Xie Shian pondered for a moment and said, "The Queen has only one niece, named Jiang Xixi. I heard that she is beautiful, generous, and has a gentle and virtuous personality. However, our Xie family does not have much contact with the Jiang family. I wonder if the Jiang family will agree to this marriage."

After hearing this, Xie Xu quickly said, "Don't worry, father. I have asked someone to find out clearly that Jiang Xixi has not been betrothed to anyone else. Moreover, I believe that as long as we are sincere, we will be able to impress the Jiang family."

Xie Shian nodded and smiled with relief: "In that case, your mother and I will do our best to facilitate this marriage. I hope you can get what you want and marry the woman of your dreams."

"Thank you, father." Xie Xu said with a smile.
