Chapter 1535: Chapter 1530: Two Women Start Arguing

He always thought it strange when this little one talked like this; it exceeded what she should know at her age. She is still... too young!

"You, first take good care of your body and don’t worry about having children or not. A couple more years and I will have children with you, there’s no rush now," Qin Muyan gently patted her head.

"But you are going to have children with someone else," Rong Yun complained, pulling at the half-tied sash she couldn’t undo, pouting with displeasure on her face.

Nanny Yan had said, it was because she was too young that Qin Muyan wouldn’t have children with her, so a secondary consort was needed to bear Qin Muyan’s children instead.

She did not want Qin Muyan to have children with the secondary consort.

She could bear children too, so why let someone else replace her?

She, a dignified princess, could not bear this insult!

"The secondary consort... is not here solely to bear children for Your Highness," Qin Muyan’s gaze was somewhat heavy, his palm gently supporting Rong Yun’s neck, tenderly caressing it.

"Then why is she here? Can you send her back? This princess does not like her," Rong Yun expressed her thoughts bluntly.

Qin Muyan shook his head, "She cannot be sent back, just like you, she is now Your Highness’s woman. This prince’s mansion is vast; there will be other women."

While he himself was not eager to take concubines, considering the face of the imperial clan and future needs, he knew that his inner courtyard would not forever have only Rong Yun.

Hearing this, Rong Yun felt very sad, her heart felt as if it had been crushed, tears unconsciously falling, "Then you will not come to sleep with me in the future, I will be very cold..."

"That won’t happen," Qin Muyan lowered his head and rubbed her cheek, "Your Highness will prioritize you. The time spent with you will definitely be the most, no one will surpass you."

"Oh."

This answer, however, obviously did not cheer up Rong Yun.

She sometimes felt it was because she couldn’t bear children, that Qin Muyan would have other women.

Qin Muyan was at a loss how to correct this idea at the moment, and instructed her nanny, Nanny Yan, to persuade her to be open-minded and not always fixate on these issues. He also had Wei Jue look for new amusements to cheer up Rong Yun in his absence, as making her happy was most important.

Qin Muyan was to leave for the morning court, and Rong Yun held onto his sleeve, reluctant to let him go.

Qin Muyan suddenly remembered the painting in his embrace and immediately took it out for her, "Your Highness’s skill in painting is not very good. This was drawn last night. See if it looks good. If not, I will draw another for you."

Rong Yun was about to blurt out that it was not good-looking when Nanny Yan immediately stopped her, "Your Highness, the Princess could not sleep last night because she felt cold. Will Your Highness be able to accompany the Princess today?"

Qin Muyan thought for a moment, "If there are few matters today, Your Highness will return early to be with her. Don’t worry."

He reassured Nanny Yan, and naturally, she would appease Rong Yun.

Rong Yun was frowning, looking nowhere near as beautiful and adorable as before.

Even when he left, Rong Yun was somewhat petulant and did not want to come out to see him off.

Rong Yun didn’t get to tell Qin Muyan before watching him leave. In front of the deserted courtyard gate, she whispered lowly, "With you gone, the night feels so long."

She waited from dusk till dawn, the hardship was truly unbearable.

"Princess, now is not the time for you to be upset; about last night’s affair with the secondary consort, you should have given her the concoction to prevent pregnancy."

Nanny Yan hurriedly stepped forward to remind her.

"What is the concoction to prevent pregnancy?" Rong Yun rubbed her eyes, confusedly asking.

"The concoction to prevent pregnancy is a medicine that, once consumed by the women serving in the bedroom, renders them unable to conceive," Nanny Yan explained, helping her sit down and earnestly advised, "It’s fine for other secondary consorts to have children, but this secondary consort is the legitimate daughter of the Li family. If she gives birth to a son, leveraging her family’s power, she might not hand over the child to you to raise. If you remain childless for more years, your position in the prince’s mansion becomes even more precarious, so at least until you and Your Highness consummate the marriage, there must be no stirring in that secondary consort’s belly."

Rong Yun listened to these words, only half-understanding, but she knew that Nanny Yan wouldn’t harm her, so she followed Nanny Yan’s advice. When Li Yunshu came to pay her respects, she offered her a bowl of the pregnancy-preventing concoction.

Li Yunshu, arrogant and haughty, having entered the mansion just the second day, how could she agree to drink it?

Not to mention she had never once served in the bedroom; she married Qin Muyan with the intention of bearing him offspring. Rong Yun offering this bowl of concoction was simply a deliberate provocation.

Li Yunshu has always been proud, glancing disdainfully at the medicine held by Nanny Yan, she downright refused to drink.

Even in Rong Yun’s courtyard, she didn’t give Rong Yun any face. Rong Yun repeated herself several times, but she ignored her completely.

In this standoff, it lasted until Qin Muyan returned from the morning court.

He originally brought some supplements from the palace for Rong Yun and Li Yunshu, hearing the commotion in the courtyard, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and he hurried over.

Seeing him, Li Yunshu’s heart soared with joy, immediately wrapping herself around Qin Muyan’s arm, her eyes reddening, "Your Highness, I came to visit the Princess, but unexpectedly... I faced such bullying here! The Princess is really tormenting me."

"How is she tormenting you?" Qin Muyan gently patted Li Yunshu’s back to console her, not rejecting her attempts to snuggle into his embrace.

However, his gaze was directed towards Rong Yun.

Under the sun, she wore a pure white lotus-patterned brocade dress that accentuated her divine, noble aura, making her look like a fairy descended from heaven, pure and seductively charming. Even she might not realize the enticing charm she exuded.

When had she changed from before?

Amid his confusion, Rong Yun walked up to him, extending a delicate finger to poke his shoulder, "I didn’t bully her; I just gave her a bowl of the pregnancy-preventing concoction. We don’t have children yet; we can’t let her have them first, right?"

Hearing this, Li Yunshu became even more enraged, "How domineering the Princess is! With your barrenness, you not only impede His Highness from having descendants but also intend to cut off my path to bearing children for him. Are you deliberately trying to leave His Highness without heirs?"

She framed Rong Yun as unreasonable and oppressive, casting an even larger stain on Rong Yun’s character.

Rong Yun glared at her, "Did I say anything wrong? Be clear, I am the Princess, and you! You are just a secondary consort! Even if you have a child, the child would still be raised by me! A bastard child! Not only do I not deny you food, or mistreat you, but I also sent you many treasures from Beiling City, just so you wouldn’t have children for a while. Why do you speak as if I’m some vile woman?"

If she were more ruthless, she would have taken out and read the manual her mother gave her to learn!

But she does not like learning those things, so she never even looks at them.

But this Li Yunshu, don’t think she’s an easy target!
