Yang Haiyan was making toys for children, stuffed toys, plush balls, diapers, etc. Of course, diapers are made of cotton cloth, which is different from modern ones. Unexpectedly, Qin Fang suddenly barged in, and seeing his frown, it seemed that the matter was a bit serious. "What happened in the capital?"
Qin Fang handed him the letter: "Look, this is a letter from the teacher."
Yang Haiyan took the letter and read it. After she finished reading the letter, she was stunned. Du Ke's letter only said one thing. He and Shen Lixian came to Batou County because of the imperial grain joining plan. General Ao was the garrison commander of Batou County and had met Du Ke once. In addition, General Ao had helped Qin Fang, so Du Ke was grateful to General Ao.
Therefore, when General Ao invited Du Ke and Shen Lixian to have dinner at the General's Mansion, they did not refuse. However, Shen Lixian met the palace nanny and the prince there.
Shen Lixian had seen the portrait of the prince, and since the prince looked so much like his own sister, he recognized him at first sight. Then he heard about the nanny and was sure that the child was his nephew.
The emperor's confidants were searching for the prince together with Shen Lixian, so even if Shen Lixian didn't want to bring the child back to the capital, those emperor's confidants only carried out the emperor's orders, and they took the child back to the capital first.
In the original plot, when the prince appeared, he was already a young man. Even if the facial features of men and women are similar when they are young, they will be very different when they grow up and their facial features open up. Therefore, the prince who grew up was not similar to Empress Yuan. Therefore, the life story arranged by the emperor for him can be used.
But now, the prince was only seven years old, and his facial features were very similar to those of Empress Yuan, so it was inappropriate to arrange a different background for him. Therefore, the emperor found an older girl from among the relatives of the Shen family to pretend to be his biological mother. Of course, that girl had "died of illness".
The story of the emperor is this: after the death of Prince Yuan, he could not forget Princess Yuan and always went to the former residence of Prince Yuan in Shen's family to remember her. Once, after getting drunk, he saw a girl who looked very similar to Princess Yuan. He thought he had dreamed of Prince Yuan, so he favored her.
Then when he woke up, the girl was gone. He thought it was a dream, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Until recently, the girl died of illness. Before she died, she told him the child's life story, so he took the child back.
So, the emperor posthumously conferred the title of noble concubine on the girl who died of illness, and the prince became the second prince.
The capital city is now in turmoil because of the appearance of the second prince. The eldest prince is from the Ren family, and the second prince is from the Shen family. The Shen family, which originally stood in the middle, only had the title of Cheng'en Marquis and did not have to participate in the factional disputes in the court. But now, with the appearance of a prince, their position has completely changed.
After reading Du Ke's letter, Yang Haiyan was stunned for a long time.
Empress Yuan is the emperor's sweetheart and the most beautiful lady in his heart, and no one can compete with her. Therefore, as long as the second prince does not commit treason, he will be the one that the emperor wants to make up for at all costs.
In the original plot, the second prince grew up next to the male protagonist Han Zhen, but now, it has become General Ao's mansion. Without the male protagonist by his side, can the second prince still ascend to the throne smoothly in his life
More importantly... From Du Ke's letter, Du Ke did not know the second prince's true background. So... Yang Haiyan hesitated. Should she tell Du Ke about this
Du Ke is the emperor's confidant. If the emperor wants to find power for the second prince, he will definitely find Du Ke. If Du Ke knows the second prince's life experience, what will he choose
Yang Haiyan gave up the idea after thinking about it. No matter whether Du Ke knew it or not, as long as it was the emperor's order, did he have a choice
"Yan Yan... Yan Yan, what's wrong with you?" Qin Fang saw that she had been silent and thought she was frightened.
"Yan Yan, are you okay? Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with us."
Yang Haiyan shook her head: "I always have a premonition that I don't want to." Is it really fate? The second prince has never had a relationship with the male protagonist in this life, but because of the royal grain franchise plan she proposed, he was still found by the emperor.
The difference is that he has grown up in the original plot, but he is still a child now. To put it bluntly, it is easier to deal with him now, and without the male protagonist by his side, will he grow up safely
Yang Haiyan's heart was heavy, carrying such a secret, and the fact that the plot had deviated from the original plot, made her feel uneasy.
Suddenly, she cried out.
"What's wrong?" Qin Fang asked nervously. He felt a little regretful. He knew that his wife would be upset, so he didn't show her the letter.
Yang Haiyan shook her head: "No, the child kicked me." She touched her belly, and her restless heart gradually calmed down. No matter how the plot changed, she just wanted their family to be safe. She would protect the child.
"Let me touch it... This child is very naughty. Every time I touch him, he doesn't move." Speaking of which, since the fetal movement, Yang Haiyan could feel it every few days, but every time Qin Fang was on duty, he either missed it or the child didn't move when he touched him.
For example, now, Qin Fang's hand is on Yang Haiyan's belly, and he said to her belly: "My dear daughter, move your little feet and let daddy touch them."
Yang Haiyan almost fainted after hearing this. What kind of obscene speech was this? Fortunately, the baby had a temper. Every time Qin Fang tried to coax him, he didn't respond. So this time...
"Ouch..." Qin Fang cried out softly.
Yang Haiyan felt it and said in surprise: "He actually kicked you."
Qin Fang: "My daughter must like me as her father. My daughter, stretch out your little feet again... Come on, come on..."
However, this time, the fetus did not respond. No matter how Qin Fang coaxed her, Yang Haiyan's hair stood on end, but she still did not respond.
Yang Haiyan was nine months pregnant and was due to give birth in early April. Her belly was particularly big. She was very happy to see that the baby did not react. She touched her belly unconsciously and said, "The baby is really obedient. Let's ignore your father." However, as soon as her hand touched her belly, she felt the baby moving through her belly. She didn't know whether it was a little fist or a little foot, which made Yang Haiyan very happy.
Although Qin Fang didn't receive another passionate kick from his daughter, he was still very satisfied with his face pressed against Yang Haiyan's belly. Speaking of which, the two had thought of names for the child many times, but hadn't decided yet. Now Qin Fang brought up the past: "Yan Yan, what do you think our daughter should be named?"
Qin Fang was very persistent about his daughter, and was given this by Han Zhen. However, when they were considering names, they still considered both boys and girls.
Since the elders of the Qin family don't know many words, the child's name is left to the couple to choose. However, if it is a girl, the nickname will be given to Grandma Qin, and if it is a boy, the nickname will be given to Grandpa Qin.
Yang Haiyan had no objection to this. She was not the kind of pregnant woman with a fragile heart. She felt that she must name her own child. Letting the elders give the child a nickname was a reflection of the elders' love for the child, so she would not mind at all.
Yang Haiyan thought for a moment: "There are too many names before, and I can't think of any good names. How about... you pick the name of the girl, and I pick the name of the boy?" Who told him to like girls? He should be pampered occasionally. In fact, he was afraid that Qin Fang would not pay attention to his son's name.
When Qin Fang heard this, he was immediately happy: "The girl's name should be Qin Lingchao, right?" Qin Fang thought this name was very good because it means smart and graceful.
Yang Haiyan read the name and thought it was okay, mainly because it was the name he chose, and she didn't want to dampen his confidence: "Then let's call the boy... Qin Linyang."
Linglin, Chaoyang... Qin Fang said: "Okay, it's settled. Grandpa said that the Qin family has a genealogy from his generation, and when the second, third, and fourth brothers get married and have children, their names will refer to ours."
Yang Haiyan said, "This is good. When I was in the Yang Mansion, I heard that daughters of wealthy families could not be included in the family tree and could not enter the family ancestral hall. Our family cannot be like this. Whether it is a daughter or a son, they are both the treasures of their parents and are born after their mother's ten months of pregnancy." She could not change the state of the country, and would not change it beyond her ability, but in their small family, she hoped that her children would be equal and not be influenced by the feudal system.
Qin Fang: "I'll listen to you. We are not a wealthy family, so we don't like this." Qin Fang has absolute decision-making power in the Qin family, so he can make the decision.
Royal Palace
"Your Majesty, calm down. Now that things have come to this, your life is useless." Lord Ren sighed as he looked at his daughter who had smashed the room to the ground. The Ren family has always been friendly to the Shen family, and of course they also hope that the Shen family can help speak well of them in the future regarding the Crown Prince incident. After all, the Shen family has no concubines in the harem, but they are the family of Empress Yuan, and their words still carry a lot of weight.
But who would have known that the Shen family actually gave birth to a prince.
Concubine Ren really couldn't swallow this breath: "I didn't understand at the beginning why the emperor didn't make her the queen. Now I understand, it was prepared for this little bastard." She has always cared about her image, and on the surface she is a gentle and virtuous person, but this time, she didn't even bother to maintain her usual superficial image, which shows that she is really crazy, "Father, where does the emperor's current behavior put me? Where does he put our Ren family?"
Ren's father: "The emperor is fully grown, young and strong, and he has the elixir in his hand, so he is naturally fearless. However, my son, don't worry, there is still a lot of time. No one knows whether he can grow up. My son just needs to teach the eldest prince well. After all, no matter what, when the eldest prince was in the palace, he was the eldest son. Who can the emperor appoint as the crown prince instead of him?"
