"Humph! I never intended to take action. It's just that this guard has a narrow mind. You can handle this according to the regulations," the King of the Grassland said with a gloomy face. A mere guard, after all. If he died, so be it.
"Really? Won't the King of the Grassland show any gesture? Qier was greatly frightened because of this and has fainted," Jing Xinche said seriously, making things up. Anyway, no one knew what had happened to Qier.
"That's right. The King of the Grassland failed to discipline his subordinates well. He almost hurt my sister-in-law. This can't just be let go like this," Yuan Yuhan's eyes flashed with a glint.
The King of the Grassland understood what these two people were up to. If it were in the past, he would never have agreed. But now he was still injured and hadn't fully recovered. Moreover, he was in the wrong in this matter, so he had to swallow this bitter pill.
"Don't worry. In a couple of days, I'll send people to bring gifts from the grassland," he thought to himself that these would be betrothal gifts in the future.
No one knew the King of the Grassland's little plan. Even if they did, they wouldn't care. With Jing Xinche, the jealous man around, how could the King of the Grassland succeed?
After getting what he wanted, Jing Xinche left happily. However, he still made a mental note to get back at the King of the Grassland.
"In that case, I'll take my leave," Yuan Yuhan said. When he left, he deliberately took the guard away, claiming it was to avenge his sister.
When Jing Xinche returned, Mu Fengqie wasn't at the mansion. She had gone out.
After Jing Xinche left, Mu Fengqie took Zhu Fei to the Mansion of the Regent Prince and brought a lot of tonics to visit Aru.
"Sister, why did you come?" Aru walked quickly towards Mu Fengqie with her big belly. Her sudden movement scared the little maids behind her. They were afraid that she might fall, and then they would be in big trouble.
Mu Fengqie was also startled when she saw Aru. She quickly walked over and supported her. "What are you doing walking so fast when you're pregnant? What if you fall?" As she said this, she tapped Aru's head, completely forgetting that she herself had been busy all day when she was pregnant and never took a break.
"I'm fine. Sister, don't worry," Aru rubbed her forehead where she had been tapped and said with a smile.
Mu Fengqie supported Aru to the pavilion. It was still a bit hot at noon. Moreover, since Aru was carrying twins, her belly was much bigger than that of an ordinary pregnant woman. Twins were prone to premature birth, and Aru was already more than five months pregnant.
So they had to be prepared at all times in case of any accidents.
"How have you been recently?" Mu Fengqie took the fan from the maid's hand and gently fanned Aru.
"What else? Everything is fine except that Yuan Yuhan won't let me go out," Aru pouted. But she knew that Yuan Yuhan was doing it for her own good. There were too many people outside. If she was bumped into, something might happen, so she stayed obediently in the mansion.
"Alright. After you give birth to the baby, you can play however you like," Mu Fengqie said with a laugh when she saw Aru's disappointed expression.
"Sister, you don't know how timid Yuan Yuhan is. As my belly got bigger and bigger, he didn't even dare to sleep in the same bed with me. He didn't want to sleep in another room either, so he just made a makeshift bed on the floor and sleeps there every night," Aru said.
After hearing this, Mu Fengqie looked around at the servants. There was no sign of surprise on their faces, as if they had known about it for a long time.
Indeed, they were really shocked when they first found out. The prince was such a noble person, yet he made a bed on the floor for the princess. But after a long time, they got used to it.
"That's not bad," Mu Fengqie said.
"It is good, but I feel a bit sorry for him. It's already cold at night, and he's likely to catch a cold," Aru said.
Mu Fengqie looked at Aru's concerned expression and suspected that this girl was showing off her happiness in front of her. The evidence was conclusive, but she had no way to stop her and could only listen silently.
"By the way, sister, what do you think would be a good name for the baby when it's born?" Aru got excited when she talked about this. She and Yuan Yuhan had been discussing the baby's name for the past few days, but the names they came up with weren't very nice.
"How can it be up to me? There's still the emperor in the palace. He should be the one to name the baby. Of course, the emperor may not care about this either," Mu Fengqie said. This was the truth, and Aru knew it. But she just wanted to give her own baby a name, even if it was just a nickname.
It couldn't be that the emperor named both the official name and the nickname, could it?
Maybe seeing Aru's thoughts, Mu Fengqie thought for a while and said, "If it's a girl, think of a gentle name. If it's a boy, think of a grand name. Then you can just call him by his nickname. It doesn't matter if the nickname is a bit more formal."
The two of them talked for a long time. They were reluctant to leave until Jing Xinche came to find them.
"Qier, you'll have plenty of time to come in the future. It's already late today, and the princess is tired," Jing Xinche said as he pulled Mu Fengqie out and walked.
If Aru heard this, she would definitely retort, "No, I'm not tired. I can still talk to my sister for a while."
"Yeah, I know. But Aru will give birth soon. We still need to prepare well. By the way, have you prepared a gift for the baby?" Mu Fengqie asked.
"Huh? Isn't she only a bit over five months pregnant? There are still a few months to go," Jing Xinche said, indicating that he didn't understand. Was it a bit too early to prepare now?
"It's not early. Twins are prone to premature birth. She may give birth when she's eight months pregnant," Mu Fengqie said.
Jing Xinche softened. There really wasn't much time left. At most, there were only about two months.
"By the way, what did you talk about in the palace? You were there for so long," Mu Fengqie asked.
"Qier, that King of the Grassland is shameless. He wants to marry a young girl," Jing Xinche told Mu Fengqie everything that had happened in the palace.
After hearing this, Mu Fengqie's mouth twitched. She didn't expect the King of the Grassland to be so blatant.
"Qier, you need to be careful. I think the King of the Grassland is going to take action," Jing Xinche said. He had seen the King of the Grassland push the guard out without hesitation today and knew that the King of the Grassland was as cold-blooded and heartless as the rumors said.
He had met that guard before. He had been by the King of the Grassland's side for a long time, but the King of the Grassland just gave him up without a second thought.
The two were walking on the street when they ran into the Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom.
