Chapter 171 Envy
Chapter 171 Envy
Only Lin Qingyang and Xiao Anwang were left in the room. After they took a shower and changed their clothes, the yard outside was so quiet that only the chirping of insects could be heard.
The ones keeping watch outside were all the old men who followed them. They knew their place very well and would respond immediately if called. However, they would remain very quiet unless the prince or princess gave any orders.
Xiao Wang An wiped Lin Qingyang's wet hair, and the two of them sat in front of the mirror.
"My princess is becoming more and more beautiful."
"You're used to being smooth-talking." Lin Qingyang said with a frown.
"I'm not being glib. I haven't seen you for half a year. You look a lot prettier. You should be thinner when you first came to Beijing from the countryside. I still like you to be plumper. Don't let others think that the palace treats the princess harshly."
"I still like to be thinner. Some clothes can't fit me anymore." Lin Qingyang pouted.
Indeed, during my pregnancy, I could no longer wear the clothes I used to wear. Now I am still not thin enough to return to my original size. Some of my clothes I have never worn once, so it would be a pity to throw them away.
"It's not like we can't afford new clothes. What are you afraid of? I'll ask the tailor to make a few more for you tomorrow," said Xiao Wang An.
"No, I know your Highness Prince An is rich, but don't be extravagant. Just have something to wear." Lin Qingyang hurriedly stopped him.
Prince Xiao An saw that Lin Qingyang's hair was almost dry, so he put down the handkerchief in his hand and said, "Now that the hair is dry, can we take a break?" As he said this, he still put his arms around Lin Qingyang's waist. He really liked this posture of hugging her from behind.
Lin Qingyang naturally understood what Prince Xiao An meant and nodded.
When Prince An saw Lin Qingyang agreed, he picked her up.
"Liang Jingsui, put me down. It's just a few steps and I can walk." Lin Qingyang was startled and hooked her hands around Little Prince An's neck, fearing that she would fall down.
"I think you walk too slowly." Little Prince An smiled evilly and led the man to the bed.
The couple hadn't seen each other for more than half a year.
Ever since they treated the poison in Yaowang Valley, the two have been a real couple. Little Prince An Liang Jingsui has also endured a lot of hardships. Now that the war is over and Lin Qingyang's child is born, there is nothing to be afraid of anymore.
Liang Jingsui was relatively gentle, and Lin Qingyang let him "torment" her, but her body was really tired.
In the middle of the night, Prince An saw that she was too tired, so he did not ask her to get up and take a bath.
The next morning, Prince Xiao An went to court early and ordered his servants not to wake up Lin Qingyang.
Lin Qingyang slept for a long time. Fortunately, there were no elders in Prince An's Mansion, so she didn't need to pay her respects to the elderly, otherwise she would be very embarrassed.
When Yan Niang saw Lin Qingyang wake up, she knew that she must be hungry, but since she didn't ask anyone to take a bath last night, she guessed that she should take a shower first.
"Princess, shall we take a bath first?"
Although Lin Qingyang felt a little hungry, she felt uncomfortable and decided to take a shower first.
As Xiao An Wang said, even after giving birth to a child, Lin Qingyang is still very thin-skinned.
"Mrs. Yan, let me take a shower first."
The one who served Lin Qingyang was Yan Niang. She was still not used to having a maid serving her at this time, but Yan Niang was married, so sometimes when she didn't have time to take a bath at night, she would ask Yan Niang to accompany her.
The hot water washed away Lin Qingyang's fatigue, as well as the faint marks on his body.
By the time she had finished bathing, dressing, putting on makeup and having breakfast, Prince An had already left court and returned home.
As soon as Prince An entered the house, he started yelling at Lin Qingyang.
"Madam is eating!"
Lin Qingyang ignored Prince Xiao An's nonsense and drank his porridge and ate snacks.
Prince Xiao An also knew that Lin Qingyang was angry with him at the moment, but Prince Xiao An was very confident.
"The Emperor has granted Ning'er a marriage!"
After hearing this, Lin Qingyang looked up, with excitement in her eyes, and asked: "The emperor has granted the marriage, Ning'er has been waiting for a long time, so when will the wedding be held?"
When Prince An saw Lin Qingyang's eyes sparkling when he heard the news about Zhuang Weining, his anger disappeared.
"At the end of next month."
"Ah, this time is still quite tight!"
Lin Qingyang said.
"It's not a rush. After all, the two families have already decided. The royal family has no princess, so the emperor wants Ning'er to marry out of the royal family and hold the wedding with the highest standards of etiquette."
After Prince Xiao An said this, Lin Qingyang also finished the last mouthful of porridge and signaled the servants to finish their meal.
"That's right. Ning'er is the daughter of the princess and the niece of the emperor. Logically, if nothing unexpected happens, the prince should make her the crown princess. It's just that Ning'er's marriage is used to celebrate the event. It's also a favor to the Yang family."
Prince An smiled and said, "You are quite clever. Indeed, if the Yang family gives more rewards, there will be people who are suspicious. Now that we are getting married, it can be regarded as a gift to the Yang family. However, Ning'er and Yang Ting are also in love, which is a good thing."
Lin Qingyang nodded, rinsed her mouth, stood up, and left the restaurant with Xiao Anwang.
Lin Qingyang would play with her son whenever she had nothing to do. Now that Prince An was back, she was seizing the time to build relationships with her son. After all, she felt a little unfamiliar in front of her son.
After changing into casual clothes, Prince An went to the wet nurse to pick up his son, and began to coax him "unable to let go".
"My dear son, you must grow up quickly, be healthy and happy." The child in Prince An's arms giggled, and Prince An laughed too.
In the yard there were the laughter of the father and his son, and little Prince An talking to himself.
Lin Qingyang looked at the two people in front of her and felt warmer in her heart.
Lin Qingyang was a little envious of her son. After all, she and Xiao An Wang had never felt the complete love of their parents.
Originally, Lin Qingyang planned to go to Aying's shop to find her today. Now that he knew Zhuang Weining was going to get married next month, he had to go out today. The two of them discussed what gifts to prepare, as time was running out!
When Lin Qingyang said she was going out, Prince An naturally followed him. It had been a long time since he had accompanied his wife on the street.
Lin Qingyang originally didn't want to take little Prince An with her, after all, she and Aying were both girls, but little Prince An said that he wanted to prepare a hundred-day gift for his son, so they went out together.
A few days after Zhuang Weining got married, it was his son’s hundred-day celebration.
"Although you two are Ning'er's best friends, Ning'er is also my cousin. This gift must be the best. Why don't I take you to a shop and let you choose whatever you want. They are definitely new things. Ning'er will definitely like them."
With what Prince Xiao An said, Lin Qingyang felt at ease taking Prince Xiao An out. After all, Lin Qingyang also knew that Prince Xiao An had many industries in Beijing, so perhaps he could get some good stuff.
"Okay, we can choose whatever we want. Can you also sponsor the money?"
Prince Xiao An looked at the naughty Lin Qingyang, scratched her nose, and said, "My palace is all yours, and naturally all the money is yours too."
