"Shuang'er, you need to hurry up with your marriage..."
He Yi advised her. Although Ming Ruyi refused to marry her, the emperor's betrothal was no joke. Rong Shuang'er said with difficulty, "Princess, don't worry about me..."
Song Jinyu didn't know what to say. Just as Ming Ruyi had said, "You can throw away the food you don't want to eat, but you can't push it onto others."
She turned to He Yi and instructed, "Your marriage is settled. So go back and prepare as soon as possible... Don't let your mother worry about you."
Rong Shuang'er saw that Song Jinyu was in good spirits and smiled, "The prince really dotes on you."
"I heard... the prince even invited all the famous doctors in the capital to sit in the clinic..." for fear that his princess would suffer pain.
Hearing this, Song Jinyu blushed a little. She only knew before that he had gone to look for Wen Sirong, but didn't expect that he had also invited the famous doctors in the capital.
She is really lucky, Rong Shuang'er thought as she left the prince's mansion. Before long, she came to a fork in the road. "Hong'er, this is...?"
Suddenly her head felt dizzy, as if she had smelled something. Looking closely, she found that Hong'er had fainted, and the coachman outside was also motionless.
Realizing that something was wrong, she pinched herself hard and tried to get out of the carriage.
Unexpectedly, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a scar - faced man looked at her viciously, "Get out!" Rong Shuang'er tightened the dagger in her hand.
She pretended to be frightened and only got out of the carriage after a while. Then she stabbed the dagger straight at the scar - faced man, scaring him to roll off the carriage.
Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, she picked up the coachman's whip and ran away quickly with her skirt in her hand. The people behind were shocked that the fat sheep they had almost caught had the strength to run away.
Rong Shuang'er ran as fast as she could, but her head was in a daze. However, seeing that there was a dead end ahead, she thought that rather than falling into the hands of the bandits, she would rather die.
So she took out the dagger and was about to wipe her neck. Who would have thought... someone suddenly descended from the sky.
"Do you really want to die like this?" A very nice voice rang in her ear.
The dagger somehow fell to the ground. Rong Shuang'er looked at the person in a daze as he knocked down all the bandits.
Finally, she couldn't hold on anymore and fainted.
When she woke up, she found herself at home. The wife of the Duke was extremely worried. "Thank goodness you weren't injured."
"Thanks to Young Master Qin."
Holding her head, Rong Shuang'er tried hard to remember who this Young Master Qin was. Suddenly she remembered. Qin? It was him, the young master of the Qin family, Qin Yu, whom she had met when she was recuperating in Shangrao City.
"Is it Brother Qin?"
She propped herself up with difficulty. Fortunately, the wife of the Duke had inquired clearly early on and naturally knew that they were familiar with each other.
Now this Young Master Qin was highly skilled in martial arts and had good character. Saving Rong Shuang'er like this might be considered a fateful encounter.
Shuang'er was not young anymore. If she delayed any longer, she might really become an old maid. The emperor had betrothed her, but the Prince of Zhongzhou was clearly unwilling. Maybe it would be better for Shuang'er to marry someone else.
Immediately, the Lady Rong asked excitedly and found out that the Qin family was a wealthy family in Shangrao City. Although his father's official position was not high,
the family was simple, which might be a good match for Rong Shuang'er.
Qin Yu was also thinking about the coincidence of meeting Rong Shuang'er. He came to the capital to visit his relatives. When he saw the carriage of the Duke of Rong's mansion, he naturally thought of that wild girl who used to live not far from his home!
He shook his head. She was really a fierce girl back then when she was so young. She had once tricked him into a trap.
He originally wanted to follow the carriage to the Duke of Rong's mansion, but unexpectedly he happened to save Rong Shuang'er.
She had grown up and blossomed.
She used to look like a tomboy, but now she had the air of a noble lady in the capital.
Under his burning gaze, Rong Shuang'er blushed gradually. "Brother Qin, thank you."
"There's no need to thank me between us." It was really good to meet this girl again. And she was still unmarried. It was like God had given him another chance.
In the past, he had received instructions from his family early on. She was the eldest daughter of the Duke's mansion and would be a princess consort in the future.
So Qin Yu didn't dare to have any illusions.
Now that Rong Shuang'er was unmarried and he was also single. Could they... rekindle their old relationship?
The news that Rong Shuang'er had been kidnapped reached the Prince Yu's mansion. Song Jinyu became anxious. She supported the table and was extremely angry.
Zhongli Mingye comforted her,
"We must find out the truth about this!" Rong Shuang'er was kidnapped right after leaving the Prince Yu's mansion. Wasn't this a sign of going against the Prince Yu?
Everyone in the capital knew that Rong Shuang'er was on good terms with the Princess of Prince Yu!
In anger, she suddenly felt her stomach tighten. Zhongli Mingye was extremely distressed. "I've told you not to worry about these things..." After saying that, he looked at He Yi reproachfully.
He Yi also knew that she shouldn't tell Song Jinyu about such things in the future. Her pregnancy was quite advanced.
Zhongli Mingye sent the shadow guards to investigate this matter. He coaxed Song Jinyu to rest. Then he scolded He Yi severely and
ordered her to stay in the palace and wait for her wedding. She was not allowed to leave the palace again!
He Yi could only stick out her tongue and left, looking back three times at every step.
Just then she ran into Cheng Song. "Princess, do you have time to visit the Marquis of Cheng'an's mansion in Xinluo City?"
"Yes..."
Cheng Song smiled slightly and made a gesture of invitation. Holding his hand, she got into the carriage. He Yi's face turned bright red instantly.
The Marquis of Cheng'an's mansion was their future home.
Since that day, He Yi's reputation had been affected, but Cheng Song didn't care. "I only want you..."
He was really a straightforward man. A touch of joy flowed through her heart. So this was what mutual love felt like.
A big hand reached in. He Yi looked up at the man, and his eyes were full of her.
It was really good!
"Why did your stomach suddenly become hard?" Zhongli Mingye looked at her stomach in surprise, as if he could see something special.
"Maybe it's because I'm nervous?"
"It's really strange!"
Song Jinyu smiled and said, "Is there anything that you, the Prince Yu, haven't seen?"
"Um..." While saying this, he put his hand on her stomach again. Suddenly he was startled. "He's moving!"
Song Jinyu looked at the 'stupid' man Zhongli Mingye impatiently. "What a fuss!"
"Surely the baby felt you, so he kicked you." Zhongli Mingye put his ear closer. "Why isn't he kicking anymore?" A look of doubt flashed in his phoenix eyes, which made Song Jinyu burst out laughing. "Do you think he has to move just because you say so? Can't he take a rest?"
After saying that, she stroked her stomach gently, and her eyes became even more gentle. She lay reclined on the couch, allowing Zhongli Mingye to massage her calves.
As her pregnancy advanced, her ankles were slightly swollen.
Whenever he was free, he would gently massage her fair ankles, hoping to relieve her pain.
Before long, Xing Jian came in to report, "The eldest daughter of the Rong family is safe. She was just saved by Young Master Qin who came to the capital to visit his relatives."
Song Jinyu was stunned. "Young Master Qin?"
"He's an old acquaintance of the eldest daughter of the Rong family when she lived in Shangrao City."
"Is he married?"
