The queen cried the whole harem

Yan Ning did not respond directly to this, but smiled and said: "If I'm not here, where can I be?"

Qi Hengyuan lifted her chin and kissed her lips.

If she gave birth to a child for him and finally chose to leave and abandon him and the child, then he would have to break her legs.

Qi Hengyuan's kiss was a little fierce, almost biting Yan Ning's lips. Yan Ning felt a little pain and pushed hard, so he let go of her.

He lowered his eyes and looked at her lips, and said hoarsely: "No matter where you are, you are my woman. Now you are pregnant with my child, and you are the mother of my child. Yan Ning, your only way and future, Only by my side, you know?"

Yan Ning nodded: "I know."

Qi Hengyuan saw that she no longer showed any hesitation or frown as before, thinking that she had really accepted being by his side, and he became happy again.

Qi Hengyuan talked about the birthday: "I won't do it for my birthday. You will be pregnant by then. It is not good to be tired after taking care of these things. When the child is born, we will organize a birth banquet and full moon for the child. Banquets, 100-day banquets, first-year banquets, etc., all are held, and they will be as lively as possible."

Yan Ning thought to herself that after the child was born, these banquets would indeed be held, but now she wanted to hold a birthday banquet for Qi Hengyuan, and it was not for Qi Hengyuan.

However, it was difficult to clarify what he said, so Yan Ning had to say: "Okay, on the day of His Majesty's birthday, we won't have to worry about anything. However, we still call the Crown Princess, Princess Qi and Yang Qianyue into the palace and have a meal at home." Banquet?"

Qi Hengyuan did not refuse: "Okay, let Mother Li take care of the family dinner. Don't worry about it, don't be tired. You only have to do one thing now, raise the baby well, and give birth to the baby smoothly."

Yan Ning nodded: "Okay."

Mother Li quickly prepared all the gifts and put them in various exquisite boxes. The messengers delivered the gifts to everyone who came to the palace to attend the banquet today.

After the palace people delivered all the gifts, Mrs. Li came to report to Yan Ning.

After Yan Ning expressed that she knew, she looked at Qi Hengyuan: "Your Majesty, how about going to Ning's house for dinner tonight? Today is the Lantern Festival, and I want to go to Ning's house. My father and mother are still at Ning's house, but after After today, they will return to Lanzhou to be detained, and we will not see them for a long time."

Qi Hengyuan dotes on Yan Ning, and naturally everything depends on Yan Ning. In addition, there is nothing to do at night. Yan Ning is pregnant, so he doesn't even dare to go to bed. As the night goes on, besides reading with Yan Ning, he seems to have nothing else to do. things can be done.

Going to Ning's house can also kill some time.

Yan Ning's pregnancy is a happy event. Yan Bin and Ning Ying are her parents. She definitely wants to share such good news with her parents.

As for the Ning family, Yan Ning definitely wants to share this good news.

Qi Hengyuan said: "Okay, I will go to Ning's house in the evening, and I will accompany you."

Yan Ning didn't really want to take Qi Hengyuan with him, but if he didn't take him, he would definitely not follow him. Yan Ning had to breathe out in her heart, called Guo Xi over, and asked Guo Xi to leave the palace and go to Ning's house first to inform this person. thing.

After that, go to Yanzhai to see if Yan Lang and Yan Xiaoye are going to Ning's house in the evening. If they go, that's fine. If not, ask Guo Xi to tell them that she is going to Ning's house in the evening and let them go too. Ning family, have a Lantern Festival dinner at Ning family.

After Guo Xi understood, he immediately left the palace and went to Ning's house first to convey Yan Ning's words, and then to Yan's house.

The door of Yan's house is locked, and there is no one inside.

It was unfortunate that Guo Xi came because Yan Lang and Yan Xiaoye were still there just now.

After the palace banquet was over, Yan Xiaoye and Meng Qingzheng returned to Yan's house together.

Meng Qingzheng followed because Meng Qingzheng was also going to register at Shengzhi Academy tomorrow. She didn't know the process and came here to ask Yan Lang for help.

After the two returned to Yan's house, Yan Xiaoye immediately told Yan Lang the good news of Yan Ning's pregnancy.

Yan Lang was shocked when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed: "Fourth sister is pregnant?"

Yan Xiaoye smiled and said, "That's right. You haven't seen how happy, excited and nervous His Majesty is. Your Majesty is looking forward to this child."

Yan Lang said happily: "That's natural. Who in the entire Qi Dynasty doesn't know that Your Majesty dotes on the fourth sister! The fourth sister's pregnancy is not only the birth of the love between her and Your Majesty, but also for Your Majesty and the entire Qi Dynasty. I have given birth to the first prince of royal blood, it would be strange if His Majesty doesn’t look forward to it!”

Meng Qingzheng said weakly: "What if Concubine Yan gave birth to a princess?"

Yan Lang said indifferently: "The princess is also His Majesty's child. She is also of royal blood. Moreover, the princess who came out of my fourth sister's belly is not an ordinary person."

Yan Xiaoye nodded: "Yes, whether it is a prince or a princess, your majesty will definitely like it very much."

When Guo Xin heard the news, he was also happy and interjected: "Concubine Yan is a blessed person. The child she gives birth to will definitely be a prince."

Yan Lang smiled and patted Guo Xin on the shoulder: "I like what you said. Although we don't favor boys over girls, the royal succession still needs a prince. If the fourth sister gives birth to a prince, her status will be very stable. But it doesn’t matter if you give birth to a princess, I still say the same thing, the princess who comes out of my fourth sister’s belly must also be a magnificent person."

Yan Xiaoye clapped his hands in agreement.

Meng Qingzheng also smiled and echoed. She just said that she would give birth to a princess, which was not malicious. She just thought of the possibility and said it bluntly.

Yan Lang, Yan Xiaoye and Guo Xin all have a close friendship with Meng Qingzheng. Guo Xin and Meng Qingzheng even experienced being robbed together. Meng Qingzheng, Yan Lang and Guo Xin also went to the battlefield together and were close friends of life and death. They all knew what kind of person Meng Qingzheng was.

They didn't blame Meng Qingzheng.

The four of them chatted there for a while about Yan Ning's pregnancy, and then Yan Xiaoye talked about enrolling at Shengzhi Academy tomorrow:

"While we were in the palace, the Crown Princess had already agreed to let Qingzheng and I go to Shengphilosophy Academy to register tomorrow. However, neither Qingzheng nor I have been to Shengphilosophy Academy, and we don't know what to prepare. The Crown Princess and The fourth sister asked you to help us."

"I'm going to Shengphilosophy Academy tomorrow. I only have time to prepare today. See what you need and prepare it quickly. Prepare two copies. Qingzheng and I will take one copy each."

Yan Lang was speechless for a while after hearing this.

what to prepare?

It’s nothing more than money.

The tuition at Holy Philosophy College is so expensive, and he has to pay two tuition fees!

He was granted the title of Marquis of Wu and indeed received many rewards, but he could not withstand such a torment!

Yan Lang asked Yan Xiaoye: "When you came, my mother must have given you money. How much money do you have on hand?"

Yan Xiaoye raised his eyes and said fiercely: "What do you mean? Are you my brother or Marquis Wu, and you actually want to ask me for money?"

Yan Lang rolled his eyes: "I'm not asking you for money. Don't you want to go to school? You have to pay tuition, right? You pay your tuition yourself."

After saying that, he looked at Meng Qingzheng: "You don't need to bring anything to register at Shengphilosophy Academy. You just need to bring money. I remember when I signed up, the book fee was one thousand silver and the tuition fee was two thousand silver per year. Of course. , the book fee is paid in one lump sum, and after paying one thousand silver, you can study all the books in the Holy Philosophy Academy, but the tuition fee is paid once a year."

After a pause, he added: "If you don't have so much money with you, I will help you pay for your books and this year's tuition first."

After thinking for a while, he added: "You are a vassal, and you have a certain official position, so you should be exempted from it. If you go tomorrow, we will ask the Crown Princess."

Yan Lang is now the Marquis of Wu and has a higher official position. He also wants to save some money and will definitely ask the Crown Princess for a discount tomorrow.

Yan Xiaoye pouted: "Brother, why don't you ask for a reduction for me?" Yan Lang smiled and said, "I'm going tomorrow. Let's talk to the Crown Princess together and try to get some reduction. After all, the tuition fee is really good. expensive."

Yan Xiaoye hummed: "It's not just expensive, it's ridiculously expensive. How can the tuition cost two thousand silver! And the book fee, one thousand silver! What kind of book is worth so much money!"

Meng Qingzheng guessed: "Maybe it's not the books that are expensive, but the knowledge and the brand name of Shengphilosophy Academy."

Yan Lang smiled and said: "Qingzheng is right, the most valuable thing is knowledge and brand name."

Then he looked at Yan Xiaoye: "I don't know."

Yan Xiaoye raised his fist and hit Yan Lang fiercely.

Yan Lang did not fight back, but kept hiding. Guo Xin and Meng Qingzheng looked on, speechless and amused.

There was a big fuss for a while. Several people sat there and tallied up the money in their hands. Guo Xin also wanted to study at Shengzhi Academy. Yan Lang asked Guo Xin if he had enough money.

Guo Xin blushed and said, "Not enough."

Yan Lang said, "It's okay. I paid for your books and tuition fees. When you succeed in your studies and get promoted and make a fortune in the future, you can just pay me back."

Guo Xin has no foundation, and he and Guo Xi don’t even have a family anymore. Where can they have money? They were no different from beggars in the first place. If Yan Ning hadn't taken them in and provided them with errands, they wouldn't even be able to eat.

Guo Xin also saved some money in the past two years, but it was not enough.

Although he was made a servant and given a reward, the reward was not much. If he took it all out, he could make up for the books and tuition fees, but he would not have any money at all.

Guo Xin was not polite to Yan Lang. He said gratefully: "Thank you young master. The young master's great kindness will be something Guo Xin will never forget in his life. Guo Xin will borrow the money from the young master. When Guo Xin has money in the future, Return it to the young master."

Yan Lang nodded: "Okay."

Guo Xin said: "Let's write an IOU."

Yan Lang raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to be so serious?"

Guo Xin said seriously: "Yes."

Yan Lang smiled and said, "Okay, it's up to you to write an IOU."

Yan Lang and Guo Xin went into the study together, wrote an IOU, and signed a pledge. After that, Yan Lang put away the IOU and took out a three thousand tael of silver notes and gave it to Guo Xin.

Guo Xin took it, put it away, and gave Yan Lang a grateful gift.

After Yan Lang paid for Guo Xin, he could no longer help Yan Xiaoye and Meng Qingzheng.

Three thousand taels of silver, plus Yan Lang's own tuition, at least five thousand taels.

Yan Lang's money was almost gone.

Of course, Yan Xiaoye didn't let Yan Lang pay for her, and it was just a verbal spat.

Meng Qingzheng was even more embarrassed to ask Yan Lang to pay for her. Meng Qingzheng was originally going to come to Guiyang City to study at Shengzhi Academy, and she brought enough money.

After a few people made sure that they had enough money, they stood there and talked. They were just talking about going to the Holy Philosophy Academy tomorrow. The four of them wanted to work together and pester the Crown Princess to ask her to give them a discount and try to get less money.

Just as he was talking, there was a knock on the door of Yan's house.

Guo Xin immediately ran over and opened the door.

There was a eunuch and a maid standing outside the door. The eunuch was in the lead, and the maid was holding a box in her hand.

When the eunuch saw the door opened, he immediately saluted Guo Xin and said with a smile: "This servant is here to deliver gifts to the fifth girl of the Yan family on the order of Concubine Yan. I wonder if the fifth girl of Yan is here?"

Guo Xinxin thought, Miss Yan Wu? Isn’t that Yan Xiaoye?

He nodded blankly: "Yes, she is here, you can come in."

Guo Xin opened the door, and the eunuch and the palace maid walked in.

Yan Lang, Yan Xiaoye and Meng Qingzheng all walked towards the door. Before they reached the door, they saw a eunuch and a palace maid walking in. The three of them were stunned. The eunuch saluted to the three of them and said what he just said. repeated.

Yan Xiaoye stepped forward and said, "I am Yan Xiaoye."

The eunuch winked at the palace maid, who immediately presented the gift.

Yan Xiaoye reached out to take it and asked doubtfully: "A gift from Imperial Concubine Yan?"

The eunuch replied with a smile: "Yes, the nobles who came to the palace to attend the palace banquet today all have gifts. The servant is responsible for delivering gifts to Miss Yan Wu. Now that the gifts are delivered, the servant will go back to life."

Yan Xiaoye was also a man of business, so he immediately took out some money and gave it to the eunuch and the maid. After receiving it, the eunuch and the maid said goodbye with a smile.

Guo Xin closed the door, and Yan Xiaoye was talking to Meng Qingzheng: "Since everyone who comes to the palace for lunch today has gifts, you should also have gifts. Do you want to go back to the inn?"

Meng Qingzheng said: "Go back now."

Yan Xiaoye didn't have time to look at the gift in her hand, so she put the gift box back into the main room and took Meng Qingzheng to the inn.

Yan Lang planned to go to Ning's house in the evening. He couldn't go empty-handed and had to buy gifts, so he took Guo Xin with him and went out.

They first accompanied Meng Qingzheng to the inn, and sure enough, a eunuch and a palace maid also came to the inn.

As soon as the eunuchs and maids arrived, Meng Qingzheng became famous. Just now, when Meng Qingzheng didn't come, the eunuchs and maids kept waiting, which attracted a lot of people's attention and comments.

After Meng Qingzheng arrived, everyone seemed to know her identity. People in the inn became more and more polite to her. Some people outside were even inquiring about her identity, and some strange men expressed cold feelings to her.

In just a short period of time, Meng Qingzheng was almost surrounded by people.

Yan Xiaoye was shocked when he saw it. This was clearly Guiyang City. All the dignitaries lived here. It was impossible for such a situation to happen, right?

She tugged at Yan Lang and asked, "Have these people never seen high-ranking officials? In Guiyang City, Meng Qingzheng's status is nothing, right?"

Yan Lang glanced at the people around him and said: "There are dignitaries, but not all of them are dignitaries. There must be some who are not dignitaries. Although this street is also South Street, it is already very far away. I live here. Yes, there shouldn’t be any high-ranking people who would not be surprised to encounter such a thing.”

Yan Xiaoye said: "If Meng Qingzheng lives here again, she may be pestered by others every day. Why not let her live in Yanzhai?"
