The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 1051: Chapter 1049: Four Months Pregnant

Su Yingxue was very confident, she was sure these words didn’t come from Xiao Yu’s mouth. A scheming man like him wouldn’t spout such mushy sweet nothings.

“You… don’t slander Brother Yu, he dotes on me so much! He really does! He gives me all the best things, and in the Qilin Garden, I’m the only girl who can be with him. He would never take multiple wives and concubines! He surely doesn’t have as many women as the emperor’s harem!”

Su Miaoyan was not to be outdone.

“What of it? No matter how many women there are in the emperor’s harem, none shall surpass me! Your sister, I am the one and only irreplaceable empress of the Great Cheng Dynasty! But you are different! You’re just a young girl, and even though you’ll come of age next year, if Xiao Yu grows tired of you, finding a new wife won’t be difficult. Even if he doesn’t replace his wife, he could still dote on concubines and destroy his wife’s standing. If you don’t learn proper manners, win the affection of your in-laws, and command respect with your demeanor, life in the Xiao family could be much more miserable than mine!”

Su Yingxue painted a vivid picture, and Su Miaoyan’s conviction waned, “Would Brother Yu really treat me that way? Will there be many women in the Xiao family to share him with me? I don’t want that! I want him to love only me for his entire life!”

“That will depend on your ability!”

“Then sister, will the emperor love you for a lifetime, having only you as his woman?”

Su Miaoyan posed a soul-searching question.

Su Yingxue shifted slightly, and the water on top of her head instantly tilted.

The cool water trickled down her forehead, seeping into Su Yingxue’s eyes, the fiery look in them was instantly quenched quite a bit.

Qin Wan’s words resonated in her mind, “Yingxue, whether as your tutor or as your grand aunt, I must advise you, never to bring your mother’s words and practices into the palace. Your mother indeed changed part of the world and affected many people, but after all, she is not a deity. Our era remains fundamentally the same as it has always been, not ‘modern’ as your mother imagined.

For an ordinary man, to expect his undivided love is one thing, but the emperor is the revered Son of Heaven, ruler of the Great Cheng Dynasty. Even if his heart belongs only to you, his harem cannot possibly have just you. If in the future the officials petition the emperor to fill his harem for the sake of him and state affairs, you must not throw a tantrum at him, do you understand?”

She had not given Qin Wan a definitive answer at the time.

Because she didn’t know if she could accept having other women in the harem besides herself.

“Sister Xue, what are you daydreaming about? The water is almost gone!”

With Su Miaoyan’s crisp voice, Su Yingxue realized that the bowl on her head had tilted to one side, and the ice-cold water had all poured into her hair, soaking her clothes through.

Su Miaoyan’s voice attracted Qin Wan, who saw Su Yingxue drenched and her first reaction was not blame but concern, “Are you okay? That bowlful of water must be very chilling. Quickly go back to your room, change your clothes, and have a nice warm bath.”

She then ordered the servants to prepare it. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Su Yingxue apologized, “Grand aunt, I couldn’t sit properly.”

“You are distracted.”

Qin Wan saw through her at a glance, and handed her over to Zhilan to take care of her.

Zhilan helped Su Yingxue to the bathing room and as Su Yingxue soaked in the bath barrel, Zhilan washed her hair with hot water and carefully said, “Miss, you’ve been pregnant for over three months now, so you can’t use hair oil and spices. I will wash your hair a couple more times, it will still smell nice.”
