After a lot of hard work, everything was settled.
"Why haven't we heard the good news that the princess is pregnant?" Ye Jun said.
Ning Lin curled her lips, "They said they would announce the good news after three months, to avoid too many people knowing about it and startling the fetus."
"That's right." Ye Jun nodded.
At this moment, Ning Lin pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Seeing her like this, Ye Jun felt that there seemed to be something that was difficult to talk about, so he hoped that she didn't want her to help with something that was difficult to do.
In the end, we have to be clear about the ugly things first. If we can't help, we can't help.
So she smiled and said, "Princess, you can't drink tea here. I think there is something else going on. But as a lady in the harem, I'm afraid I can't help much."
Now that the truth has been said, Ning Lin can no longer hesitate.
He waved his hands hurriedly, "I'm not here to help, I... I'm here to ask for advice."
"Excuse me?" Ye Jun asked puzzledly.
Suddenly he thought of something and waved to the servants in the room, asking them all to go out.
"It's just me and the princess in the room right now. If you have anything to say, just speak up."
Ning Lin's face was filled with worry and she sighed.
"I am pregnant and cannot be close to my husband. He has a maidservant who serves him three or two times this month. I... I am not afraid that Shunyi will say that I am jealous. I came to ask Shunyi how to capture my husband's heart. I don't want my husband to be close to other women."
After saying this, Ning Lin hardened her heart.
She is a reserved person by nature and grew up in an environment where the husband is the main person, so it is very difficult for her to dare to say such words.
"What woman doesn't have the same wish as the princess? Even I have wanted to be with my future husband for the rest of my life since I was a girl. Unfortunately, after entering the palace, there is no way to realize this. But since the princess is the legitimate wife, there is a way." Ye Jun said.
Ning Lin's eyes lit up a little, and she stared at her earnestly, "Please give me some advice, Shunyi."
Ye Jun smiled and said, "I can't give you any advice. If I were a princess, with the royal family behind me, I would never ask my husband to have a maidservant from the beginning. Even if he did, I would get rid of her. Selling a maidservant is just a matter of a word."
"But that girl is pitiful, she has been with the prince consort for many years, serving as a clerk in the study. Besides... it won't look good if we just kick her out." Ning Lin frowned.
Ye Jun said sternly, "The princess is very proud, but I said something that I shouldn't have said. The princess has been pregnant for only two months, and the prince consort has been involved with that girl. I'm afraid this is more than just a matter of days. Has the princess ever thought about this?"
At this moment, Zhilan, Ning Lin's personal maid, finally couldn't help but speak out.
"I and Zhihua told the princess earlier that Fendai, who served in the Prince Consort's study, was too close to the Prince Consort. But the princess trusted the Prince Consort too much and always said that it was because she had served him since childhood and was particularly close to him..."
After hearing what the maid said, Ning Lin's face turned even paler, her eyes turned red, and she clenched her handkerchief with trembling lips.
Seeing that she was feeling uncomfortable, Ye Jun quickly poured her a cup of warm water and asked her to drink a few sips.
Ning Lin calmed down but still shed tears and sighed.
"I know there might be something fishy going on, but... I just don't want to believe it. When I first met Zihuan, he was such a handsome man. He told me that we would be together until old age, but how long have we been married..."
Zhilan on the side also turned her face away, wiped her tears and whispered.
"We dare not tell the princess. In fact, there have been rumors in the front yard these days, saying that Fendai and the prince consort have been having an affair for a long time, but now that the princess is pregnant, it has been made public. After all, the princess cannot be served when she is pregnant, and it is not easy for others to say anything if they serve her."
After hearing this, Ning Lin's expression became even uglier.
She murmured, "After all, I am not as good as my sister. I can't keep my husband safe."
"Princess, there is no need to feel sad for such a person." Ye Jun's eyes darkened, and he took Ning Lin's hand and patted it twice. "For such a person, even if the princess uses all her tricks, he will always have another one. Princess, there is no need to be polite."
"Then what should I do?" Ning Lin asked.
Ye Jun lowered her eyes, "Go back and raise the girl named Fendai as your aunt, prepare a feast and tell her the news of your pregnancy. Princess, don't worry about the rest, the royal family will support you."
Ning Lin didn’t quite understand and wanted to ask something, but then she heard the sound of the emperor arriving outside.
Now it’s difficult for Ning Lin to stay.
I had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye to Ye Jun.
After going out, the brother and sister met, exchanged a few words, and then dispersed.
Ning Chen took Ye Jun's hand and walked into the house.
"Jiarou likes talking to you, but I see she doesn't look very well. Is there something wrong?"
"The emperor is indeed very accurate in his predictions. The princess has indeed been wronged." Ye Jun said.
Finally, he told her about the mess.
Ning Chen immediately became angry.
"What a shameless bastard Feng Zihuan is! He hooked up with the maid just after Lin'er got pregnant. It's really... I want to summon the Marquis of Pingyang to the palace to ask what kind of family education the Feng family has!"
Ye Jun hurriedly pulled him to sit down, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. If you scold them now, others will just think that the princess is complaining. Wouldn't they be more resentful of the princess when they return? What we want is for them to know that they are in the wrong and can't raise their heads. Only in this way will they be better to the princess."
After sitting down and calming down for a while, Ning Chen allowed Ye Jun to express her opinion.
So Ye Jun expressed his thoughts.
"That's good. I will then summon Marquis Pingyang to question him. What to do when he returns will be the Feng family's own business." Ning Chen said unhappily.
Not wanting to keep the financial sponsor angry, Ye Jun gave Huiyue a look.
The latter understood and went around.
Soon the fourth prince was brought in.
This successfully attracted Ning Chen's attention.
Now that the Fourth Prince could walk, he refused to be carried all the time, and now he was twisting his body to get off the ground.
When the wet nurse put him down, Nian Gao held him tightly against her, fearing that the little master would fall.
Under the gaze of everyone, the Fourth Prince staggered to the side of his parents.
Ye Jun smiled and picked up his son and put him on his lap, teasing him, "Jing'er, who am I?"
"Mother!" the Fourth Prince called out obediently.
"Great." Ye Jun kissed the Fourth Prince's little face, then hugged him and looked at Ning Chen, "Who is this?"
Perhaps he was encouraged, the Fourth Prince called out "Dad" loudly again.
Ye Jun manipulated the Fourth Prince's little arm and spoke in a childish voice, "Jing'er pays respects to father."
This funny look finally made Ning Chen smile.
Take the child and hold him.
"Jing'er is really different from other children. He unexpectedly caught me during the Zhou-Zhua event."
