Chapter 17: The Journey to Qinshan 2
After leaving the Red Ice Country, the further south they went, the temperature gradually increased, and by the time they reached the foot of Qinshan Mountain, Leng Qing and the others had already taken off their warm clothes and put on light and breathable clothes.

At this time, in this palace in the deep mountains, Leng Qing actually felt that her body was cold for a while, and in desperation, Leng Qing had to turn out the clothes she was carrying with her and pick out two warm ones to put on. However, it is reasonable for Leng Qing to feel cold.
Although it is August now, the summer heat has not disappeared, but it is only for the southern part of the Tiancheng Continent, and for the Qinshan Mountain Range located in the hinterland of the Tiancheng Continent, especially for the wooden structure palace built in the deep mountains, the temperature will inevitably be lower. Leng Qing is also born with chills, and the chills are somewhat severe, so it is not surprising that Leng Qing feels cold.
And the people who feel that this palace is cold like Leng Qingqing, there is also Yan Qingqiu. However, Yan Qingqiu did not add clothes, but took off his coat and went to bed to lie down.
In the quiet apse, I saw that in front of the two-meter-square golden silk nanmu big bed that was placed under the wall in a regular manner, the bed was covered with thick cotton wool, and a layer of wool blanket was spread on the cotton wool.
After doing this, he added two pieces of clothes because he felt cold, which caused a few clothes on his body to be very out of tune, looking at Leng Qing, who was dressed strangely, and said softly to Yan Qingqiu who was lying on the bed: "You lie down for a while, I'll go to the front to see if Wang Quan has made any good food, if it's done, I'll send it to you." ”
Over there, Yan Qingqiu, who was lying on the bed, heard this, nodded obediently at Leng Qing, and obediently closed his eyes.
After getting Yan Qingqiu's promise, and watching Yan Qingqiu close his eyes, Leng Qing left the apse of the pure wooden structure of the "Qingxin Palace" and went to the front to find Wang Quan and Muwen.
To be honest, on this trip to Qinshan, Wang Quan was actually reluctant to bring Yan Qingqiu with him at first, because Wang Quan always felt that Yan Qingqiu was not a person from all the way with them, and Yan Qingqiu, a native of other countries, could not really stand on their side wholeheartedly.
To put it bluntly, Wang Quan was worried that bringing Yan Qingqiu to Qinshan would cause trouble for their trip.
After all, Qin Shan is not as good as Weide Palace, although there are many people in Weide Palace, and there are spies planted by several people, but those people are all from the Red Ice Country, and almost all of the masters behind them are the people in charge of the court or the Six Palaces of the Red Ice Country.
Although those people were thinking about how to pull Yan Ziming down from the position of the prince of the Red Ice Country every day, those people were in high positions, no matter how much they tossed, they would not take the initiative to shake the national capital of the Red Ice Country.
The most important thing is that in the Weide Palace, as long as Wang Quan and Muwen are willing, they can make those threats disappear silently at any time. But when you arrive in Qinshan, it's different, the people who come to Qinshan are all the princes of the countries of the Tiancheng Continent!!
Although the current Tiancheng Continent seems to be getting along well with each other, and even the royal families of various countries have in-laws, if you really want to break it seriously, the royal family members of all countries have met each other, and they are all nepotism. The emperors of some countries even have to call the emperors of other countries "brother-in-law" or even "father-in-law"!
However, this kind of in-law relationship does not really bring the relationship between countries much closer. On the contrary, there has been some minor friction between countries since more than 50 years ago.
Fortunately in the past few decades, there have been occasional frictions between countries, but they have been insignificant. However, in recent years, there have even been territorial disputes between several countries, but they have not dared to fight with real guns because of the fierce eyes of other countries.
The superior wants to whitewash the peace and suppress everything, and the people will naturally not know about those bad things. But this apparent peace is the most dangerous, because it can collapse at any time!
The Qinshan gatherings in the past are called "gatherings" if they are good, but they are not good, or, to put it bluntly, this is simply a Hongmen banquet to explore the national strength of other countries!
Since ancient times, whenever the world is divided, there is no king who does not want to be the emperor who rules the world and stands at the apex of the world.
Since the "Rebellion of the Nine Kings" two hundred years ago, there has been no more war on the Tiancheng Continent, not because the emperors of the nine countries have no intention of dominating the world, but because the countries are evenly matched and mutually restrictive, so that even if those emperors have great hearts, they can't make a big move after all.
However, the trend that the world must be divided for a long time, and the trend of being divided for a long time is certain, and this has been the case since ancient times.
Although there is peace on the current Tiancheng Continent, this war will eventually be provoked one day.
And the Qinshan gathering, which takes place every ten years, is the best opportunity for those who want to provoke war.
Wang Quan knew very well that if there was nothing wrong with this trip to Qinshan, it would naturally be good, if something unexpected really happened, he and Mu Wen would not be able to treat the prince of other countries in the same way as those spies in the Weide Palace!
Because of all the circumstances here, Wang Quan was not prepared to bring Yan Qingqiu with him on his trip to Qinshan, after all, Yan Qingqiu was from Yan State, not from Chibing Country. Then why did Wang Quan change his mind and be willing to bring Yan Qingqiu to Qinshan again?
There is no other reason, just because of Yan Qingqiu-
Pregnant.
Since Yan Ziming left the palace without saying a word, Yan Qingqiu moved the place of eating to the front hall of the Qingxin Palace, and ate at the same table with Wang Quan, Mu Wen and Leng Qing.
And just over a month ago, when Wang Quan and Muwen, who had replaced Yan Ziming's identity, began to prepare for the gifts and entourage to bring to Qinshan this year, one day at lunch, there was a roast duck and a braised fish on the table, and after Yan Qingqiu ate it, he suddenly began to vomit non-stop, and he couldn't stop it.
Yan Qingqiu vomited too suddenly, sitting at the same table, Wang Quan and Mu Wen, who were eating, were stunned with dishes and chopsticks, they didn't know what the situation was, let alone what to do, only Leng Qing asked Wang Quan very calmly to ask the imperial doctor in the palace to come to Weide Palace for a visit.
Later, after the gray-bearded old imperial doctor's exhaustive diagnosis and inquiry, the gray-bearded old imperial doctor threw a bombshell to Wang Quan, Mu Wen, and Leng Qing - their crown princess had been pregnant for nearly forty days.
Just so caught off guard, Wang Quan, Mu Wen, and Leng Qing learned the news that Yan Qingqiu was pregnant, and then the three of them were collectively shocked (stunned) and shocked (forced).
After being shocked (stunned) for a while, Wang Quan, who reacted, immediately said that he wanted to tell Yan Ziming the news, but was stopped by Leng Qing. And Leng Qing's reason for stopping Wang Quan was that this kind of thing was best told by Yan Qingqiu himself and Yan Ziming.
Leng Qing means that Yan Qingqiu and Yan Ziming are husband and wife, and the happy event of being pregnant naturally has to be said by their husband and wife, if it is said by Wang Quan, an outsider, there will be no surprises at all.
But Wang Quan and Leng Qing actually thought completely differently, the reason why Wang Quan wanted to tell Yan Ziming that Yan Qingqiu was pregnant was just to ask Yan Ziming - whether the child in Yan Qingqiu's belly would be kept or not......
But at that time, Wang Quan looked at Leng Qing's appearance, as if Yan Qingqiu was pregnant with her Leng Qing's child in her belly, Wang Quan thought about it, but in the end he still held back his true thoughts and didn't dare to vomit out.
Two days later, Yan Ziming suddenly wrote a letter, saying that his third junior brother Lin Xiaoyang was in some trouble and asked Wang Quan to write a letter of state to the emperor of the Great Liang State in the name of the prince of the Chibing State.
At that time, Wang Quan wanted to reply to Yan Ziming and inform Yan Ziming of Yan Qingqiu's pregnancy, but Wang Quan thought about it, anyway, this matter had been suppressed from the beginning, and Yan Ziming was not notified in time.
Although Wang Quan didn't inform Yan Ziming of such a big thing in the end, Wang Quan's original plan was slightly disrupted after such a stubble.
Originally, among Wang Quan's planned entourage, Wang Quan counted Leng Qing but never planned to take Yan Qingqiu with him, but now that Yan Qingqiu was pregnant, Wang Quan could no longer rest assured that Yan Qingqiu would be left alone in the palace of the Red Ice Kingdom.
Wang Quan was not at ease, it was not that Wang Quan was worried that after he left the Chibing Kingdom with Muwen and Leng Qing, Yan Qingqiu would not be able to take care of herself or would be bullied, but because the palace of the Chibing Kingdom did not want Yan Qingqiu, the new crown princess, to be pregnant, it was not ordinary!!
Wang Quan was completely sure that if he didn't take Yan Qingqiu with him on this trip to Qinshan, but left Yan Qingqiu alone in the palace of the Red Ice Country, and when they returned to the Red Ice Kingdom from Qinshan, the child in Yan Qingqiu's belly would definitely be gone.
Although the palace maids serving Yan Qingqiu were all brought to the Red Ice Kingdom from Yan Kingdom, after the observation of Zhu Mei, Zhu Li, and Li Qi, there is no doubt that those palace maids are loyal to Yan Qingqiu, and even a few of them can do some kung fu, but after all, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake!
Especially, those women who are trapped in the deep palace, who move for ten days and half a month, and some who have not even seen the emperor for a year and a half, and who are extremely dissatisfied with their desires, will even be afraid of Wang Quan!
What's more, none of the concubines in the palace of the Red Ice Kingdom are good at stubble!
As for those concubines in the palace of the Red Ice Kingdom, even if they were just concubines at the bottom of the rank, if the other party was determined to kill the child in Yan Qingqiu's belly, it would be as easy as a matter of effort! After all, open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend against!
However, before asking Yan Ziming's meaning, Wang Quan must have wanted to keep the child in Yan Qingqiu's belly - what if Yan Ziming meant to keep the child in Yan Qingqiu's belly?
Before determining Yan Ziming's meaning, Wang Quan would never dare to gamble with Yan Ziming's heirs.
After thinking about it, Wang Quan finally decided to take Yan Qingqiu to Qinshan together!
Of course, after making this decision, Wang Quan immediately made two preparations - fetal pills and abortion pills.
Before arriving at Qinshan, Wang Quan would use fetal pills and various supplements to serve Yan Qingqiu as much as he could, striving to make Yan Qingqiu's fetal image stable and the fetus stable. When he arrived at Qinshan and saw Yan Ziming, if Yan Ziming agreed to keep the child in Yan Qingqiu's belly, then Wang Quan's action of bringing Yan Qingqiu to Qinshan and preparing fetal pills for Yan Qingqiu would be correct.
But if Yan Ziming didn't agree to keep the child in Yan Qingqiu's womb after seeing Yan Ziming in Qinshan, then Wang Quan would replace the fetal pill with the abortion pill he brought to Qinshan, fry it for Yan Qingqiu to drink, and beat the child out.
As for those supplements brought to Qin Mountain, if the child stayed, Wang Quan would naturally have to cook them for Yan Qingqiu to drink.
If the child is knocked out...... Wang Quan thought about it, those supplements still had to be made for Yan Qingqiu to drink, and Yan Qingqiu couldn't be allowed to beat the child and lose his body.
Of course, Wang Quan's plans and preparations, apart from Wang Quan himself, even Mu Wen didn't know, let alone Leng Qing and Yan Qingqiu.
And Leng Qing was indeed happy about Yan Qingqiu's pregnancy, and she was happy from the bottom of her heart.
This happiness comes from three aspects: the first is because Leng Qing really likes Yan Qingqiu very much, the second is because Leng Qing likes children, and the third is ...... is because the child in Yan Qingqiu's belly is Yan Ziming's.
Let's talk about the first point first, why Leng Qing likes Yan Qingqiu.
In other words, since Yan Ziming sneaked out of the palace without saying a word, the only person in the Qingxin Hall who could communicate with Leng Qing normally was Yan Qingqiu.
Why do you say "normal" communication? Because although Yan Qingqiu can't speak, Yan Qingqiu's brain is normal, and he is not like a taciturn pastoral writer, who can't hold back a word for a long time, and finally can't hold back a sentence, and he still doesn't like to listen to it; let alone Wang Quan, who is chattering, he talks nonsense with one mouth except for eating.
Communicating with Yan Qingqiu is something that can make Leng Qing feel happy. Because Yan Qingqiu not only knows piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, etc., but can also learn from Leng Qing, who also knows these skills, Yan Qingqiu also knows many things that Leng Qing does not understand.
The ancient Chinese people had a saying: Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years.
Every time she communicated with Yan Qingqiu, Leng Qing felt this way—her originally narrow horizons suddenly broadened.
From Yan Qingqiu, Leng Qing learned a lot of knowledge that only existed in this other world. After getting along with Yan Qingqiu for two months, Leng Qing's knowledge line was running straight up. And the longer she gets along with Yan Qingqiu, the more Leng Qing likes Yan Qingqiu, a little princess in another world.
The second point is very easy to understand, which is literally: Leng Qing likes children.
Leng Qing once helped her colleague take care of the child for a week, and the child was only a little over three years old at that time, although he was young, he was a very sensible, innocent and simple child. After spending a week with that child, Leng Qing felt that the child's feelings and thoughts were so pure that she was ashamed, far less complicated than the adult world.
As for the third point...... (To be continued.) )
