half a month later
Daqian Palace, Mingyue Pavilion.
In a pavilion by a pond.
After letting the surrounding maids disperse, Princess Mingyue leaned her graceful figure on the railing alone, holding a handful of bait to feed the koi in the pond.
When the last bit of bait was thrown away, she slowly and carefully turned around, and breathed a sigh of relief after sitting upright.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in her head.
"You don't have to be so careful, our children are not that fragile."
After hearing Ji Mingyue's voice, Princess Mingyue said seriously, "This is not possible. What if something goes wrong."
In the eyes of outsiders, Princess Mingyue has a flat belly at the moment.
But in fact, only Princess Mingyue and Ji Mingyue in her mind knew that their bellies were now swollen.
Ji Mingyue made a teasing voice in a charming tone, "Didn't you still want to abort this child at the beginning? Why can't you let it go now?"
Hearing this, Princess Mingyue immediately said, "I just said that, I didn't really want to abort the child."
After saying that, she subconsciously touched her belly. She didn't know what she thought of, but a gentle smile appeared on her face.
Suddenly, Princess Mingyue thought of something and asked, "Sister Ji, I have been pregnant for more than a year now, but there is no sign of the child being born. When will she be born?"
Ji Mingyue was silent for a moment and then said softly, "It should be more than two years."
"More than two years? So long..."
Princess Mingyue murmured.
"Is it possible that you still want to conceive and give birth to her in ten months?"
"is it not OK?"
"If that's the case, do you think this child can be kept by your side? Everyone can guess who this child is."
"..."
"So, waiting for more than two years is also a chance for you."
"Opportunity? What opportunity?"
"Give this kid a chance to create an identity."
After the two communicated in their minds for a while, a maid came not far from the pavilion and called softly, "Your Highness, the third lady of the Tie family has come to see you."
Hearing this, Princess Mingyue's expression was slightly startled, and then she showed a hint of joy, "Please invite Sanniang in quickly."
"yes."
Due to physical problems, she cannot leave the palace at will like before, so now she can only hide in the palace.
So I was very happy to hear that my close friend had arrived.
Soon, Tie Sanniang's figure appeared in the courtyard.
"Sanniang, you are here."
"See Your Highness the Princess."
Princess Mingyue said softly, "I told you everything, just call me Mingyue in private."
"Okay, our Princess Mingyue."
Soon after, the two sat in the pavilion facing each other.
Looking at Princess Mingyue, who looked increasingly cold, Tie Sanniang said apologetically, "I'm sorry Mingyue, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Princess Mingyue shook her head, "Needless to say, you are different from me. Compared to me, you are much busier. I am very satisfied that you came to see me today."
Suddenly, Princess Mingyue thought of this and asked, "By the way, I heard that you have been staying in southern Xinjiang some time ago. Isn't it said to be very dangerous there? Why are you going there?"
"It was quite sinister at first."
Thinking of a human face in her mind, Tie Sanniang whispered, "But it's no longer dangerous now, and it's even safe for me."
"oh?"
Princess Mingyue had a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
Since practicing with Ji Mingyue, her current strength can be regarded as a moderate master in the world. She very keenly noticed that the look in Tie Sanniang's eyes was wrong when she spoke just now.
Suddenly, she said jokingly, "Sanniang, you didn't find your right husband outside, did you?"
In the past, Tie Sanniang would immediately refute such words.
However, Princess Mingyue found that as soon as she said those words, Tie Sanniang became a little distracted for a moment.
Is it possible...
Suddenly, Princess Mingyue's eyes became complicated.
"Sanniang, you..."
Tie Sanniang quickly came to her senses, shook her head and said, "No, Mingyue, don't get me wrong."
Suddenly, Tie Sanniang found that her hand was held in the palm of another white hand.
At the same time, Princess Mingyue's soft voice sounded, "Sanniang, are you still worried about your marriage?"
"If you really don't want to, I can go to Father to intercede for you."
Hearing this, Tie Sanniang shook her head, held Princess Mingyue's hand and said softly, "No need."
The reason why she said this was because she understood that the marriage between the Tie family and the royal family could not be controlled by the will of the two women. Speaking out would only embarrass herself and even cause her to lose more.
Princess Mingyue seemed to understand. She sighed softly, "It would be better if I wasn't a woman."
Tiesanniang subconsciously said, "Why do you say that?"
Princess Mingyue chuckled softly, "Because then you can marry me directly. I guess you would be very willing if it were me."
Tie Sanniang was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses and smiled coquettishly, saying softly, "Actually, I can marry you even if you are a woman, as long as His Majesty and the Tie family agree."
Princess Mingyue, "O.0"
In the time that followed, the two chatted a lot after a long absence.
Most of the time it was Tie Sanniang who was talking about her own experiences.
Finally, Tie Sanniang chatted with someone without even realizing it.
Princess Mingyue was listening enthusiastically when she found Tie Sanniang stopped.
"Sanniang, please continue talking, what happened when you met that man?"
Tie Sanniang said, "Mingyue, don't be unhappy if I tell him his name next."
Princess Mingyue's eyes were stunned, then she came to her senses and said, "Why am I unhappy?"
"Because that person's name is also... Li Dao."
"Li Dao!"
Hearing this name, Princess Mingyue's delicate body trembled subconsciously.
Perhaps most people have completely forgotten this name, and it has even sunk into the bottom of Princess Mingyue's heart.
But when it was mentioned again, Princess Mingyue still immediately recalled some scenes in the back of her mind that made her extremely ashamed and angry.
Some things may never be forgotten for a lifetime.
Soon, she forced those images out of her mind, took a deep breath and said, "Sanniang, please continue talking. There are too many people with the same name and surname in the world, and you don't need to worry too much. They are already here anyway." It’s over.”
Although she said so, her hand subconsciously touched her belly.
Seeing that Princess Mingyue agreed, Sanniang nodded and continued.
"You don't know, the first time we met, that little girl You'er was fascinated. She even pestered her to tell a story called 'The Reckless Man'."
"To be honest, I still don't understand what that story has to do with the reckless people, but it's a pretty good story, so I'll tell it to you."
