Chapter 111 In my heart, no one can compare to my Ah Wan
The envoy beside the princess stepped forward respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Subuda is the most favored daughter of the King of our Halie Kingdom. This time, she came here to make peace between our two countries and to hope to form a marriage alliance with your country."
Emperor Jiazheng glanced at him with a stern gaze, then glanced at Princess Subuda who was standing beside him.
Then he coughed lightly and said slowly: "I understand your good intentions, but marriage is not a trivial matter and needs careful consideration. Besides, our country also has many outstanding princes. Why don't Princess Subuda live in the capital first and slowly understand our culture and customs before making a decision."
The envoy nodded quickly, expressing his understanding of Emperor Jiazheng's concerns and suggesting that Princess Subuda could stay in the capital first.
Emperor Jiazheng hummed, turned to Princess Subuda and said, "Princess, you must have come a long way to make it hard. Please rest well in the embassy. If you need anything, please let me know. I will summon all the princes to meet with the princess another day."
Princess Subuda's gaze rested on Si Jinchen, who was sitting below Emperor Jiazheng, for a moment. She then thanked Emperor Jiazheng with a smile and left the hall led by the palace maids.
Emperor Jiazheng looked at their departing backs, glanced at the princes below for a moment, and fell into deep thought.
The banquet lasted until night fell and gradually came to an end.
Yan Qingwan left the banquet early in the afternoon and returned to the East Palace due to back pain, sleepiness, and frequent toileting.
Therefore, when Si Jinchen returned to the East Palace bedroom after the banquet, Yan Qingwan had already woken up and was sitting on the chaise longue in a daze.
Upon seeing Si Jinchen return, Yan Qingwan quickly stood up and asked in a tender voice, "Your Highness, is it over so soon?"
Si Jinchen nodded in response, then strode to the chaise longue, took her hand and sat down with her.
"Did the child bother you this afternoon?" he asked with concern.
Yan Qingwan smiled slightly and replied, "It just bothered me once, it's no big deal."
Si Jinchen responded softly, then gently stroked her belly and whispered, "That's good."
Then he asked softly, "Is dinner ready?"
Yan Qingwan shook her head and said in a tender voice, "I knew Your Highness must not have eaten much at the banquet, so I waited for Your Highness to eat together."
Si Jinchen nodded upon hearing this and said in a deep voice: "Then let's set up the meal. It's getting late."
Yan Qingwan: "Okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Lu, who was serving on the side, hurriedly stood up and went out to make arrangements.
After eating, I took a bath.
Yan Qingwan lay on the bed, and Si Jinchen followed suit.
The two leaned their heads against each other, and Yan Qingwan muttered softly, "Your Highness, when I was taking a bath just now, I found that I had gained a lot of weight, and my legs and feet seemed to be swollen."
Hearing this, Si Jinchen reached out and gently held Yan Qingwan's hand, comforting her: "Don't worry, this is a normal pregnancy reaction."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and squeezed Yan Qingwan's leg. After gesturing for a while, he said, "My Ah Wan just has a bigger belly. There is no change in other parts. She is still as beautiful as ever."
When Yan Qingwan heard this, she felt sweet in her heart, but she was still a little unconfident. She pouted and said, "Your Highness is lying. I saw that Princess Subuda of the Halie Kingdom is very beautiful today. The key is that she is young and beautiful."
When Si Jinchen heard this, he looked up at Yan Qingwan's jealous expression and couldn't help laughing.
He reached out and held her in his arms, saying softly, "In my heart, no one can compare to my Ah Wan."
When Yan Qingwan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
She reached out and hugged Si Jinchen back, and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, I wonder who the emperor will let Princess Subuda marry in the end?"
Si Jinchen replied casually, "I don't know. It doesn't matter since it's not me."
Yan Qingwan analyzed seriously: "But among the princes now, Prince Gong already has a princess and two concubines. Although the position of the princess is vacant,
But he was not in the capital, not to mention Prince An. The last time Concubine Mu had a miscarriage, it caused a lot of controversy. Everyone knew that Prince An was devoted to her.
He even refused to give face to Princess An's family, and things got really bad because of it. As for Prince Rui, he is still young, only sixteen years old..."
Si Jinchen interrupted her with a smile, gently pinched her nose, and said lovingly: "You, you really worry a lot."
Yan Qingwan wrinkled her nose and pouted, "I am just curious. After all, Princess Subuda is really pretty."
Si Jinchen chuckled a few times and said seriously, "Don't worry, this kind of thing will naturally be taken care of by our father, so we shouldn't think too much about it."
Yan Qingwan hummed, leaned in Si Jinchen's arms, and enjoyed the rare moment of peace.
······
Not a few days passed.
The Queen arranged a special family dinner in Fengyi Palace, and only invited Prince Gong, the Crown Prince, Prince An, and Prince Rui to attend. In addition, Princess Subuda was also specially invited.
Although Yan Qingwan did not attend the banquet, everything that happened at the banquet had already spread throughout the palace and became a secret known to everyone.
It is said that when Princess Subuda arrived at Fengyi Palace and saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she was like a lost soul and could not take her eyes off him.
Even when talking with the Queen, Princess Subuda couldn't help but turn her head to look at Si Jinchen frequently, her eyes full of admiration and joy.
When the queen saw this, she seemed to be very happy about it and was willing to promote this marriage.
So, during the meal, she deliberately arranged for Princess Subuda to sit opposite Si Jinchen to create an opportunity for the two to get along.
Such an action undoubtedly demonstrated the Queen's support and encouragement for the relationship between Si Jinchen and Princess Subuda.
However, Si Jinchen showed no interest at all. He had a cold face and said nothing throughout the whole process.
Even when he was halfway through the meal, he remained indifferent to the Queen's efforts to bring them together and Princess Subuda's expectant eyes.
Finally, he stood up and said, "I still have some official documents to deal with, so please enjoy your meal, mother and Princess Subuda," and left without hesitation.
Princess Subuda's face suddenly turned very ugly.
The queen sighed helplessly, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
She knew that her son was always stubborn and difficult to be influenced by others.
Now it seems that it will still take time for him to have more new people in his harem.
