Ruru cried bitterly. An Shian was determined to drive her out. No matter how she begged, it was of no use.
In the end, he had no choice but to take the money and leave.
When she left, An Qien came to see her off at the door and gave her a very generous sum of money.
Ruru was grateful and knelt down with red eyes: "Thank you very much, Princess, for coming to see me off in person. It's just a shallow fate, so I won't be able to say hello to Princess in the future."
An Qi'en held up Ruru's arm and said with guilt, "I wanted you to live an ordinary life in An's house, but it's just that God didn't fulfill your wish."
"Princess, please don't say that. If it weren't for the princess, I would not be alive a long time ago. It was the princess who saved me. I am very grateful. The uncle is a good man, but I am not lucky."
Ruru's eyes became even redder. After spending these days together, she also had feelings for An Fu.
An Qi'en took out a piece of letterhead from his sleeve and put it into Ruru's hand meaningfully: "Take this, I'll find a small business merchant for you. If you are interested, go find him. In one year's time limited."
Ruru didn't expect that the princess had thought so carefully for her. The concubines of ordinary families would just be given away or sold elsewhere.
However, Anfu gave her a large sum of money, and the princess even planned her future.
Ruru burst into tears of gratitude and knelt down to thank her again: "Ruru kowtows to the princess."
"Get up quickly. Just be fine."
An Qien helped her up.
After saying a few words, An Qi'en watched Ruru leave.
Since Ruru left, only Yu Lan was the only woman in the house to serve An Shian. Life was difficult to be peaceful, but with Yu Lan's company, An Shian came out quickly.
.........
In the blink of an eye, more than half a year later, An Qien's belly was as big as a ball and it was time for her to give birth. Lu Bochu hadn't come back yet, so she gave birth in An's house.
Several stable women delivered the baby to An Qi'en. As the pain became stronger and worse than death, An Qi'en gritted her teeth and gave birth to the little princes one after another.
The baby's cries continued.
The midwife happily greeted each young prince and called out: "The first young prince..."
"The second young prince..."
"The third young prince..."
"The fourth young prince..."
"The fifth young prince..."
"The sixth young prince..."
Jiang, An Shi'an, and Yu Lan were all excited. They didn't expect An Qien to give birth to so many boys at once.
After giving birth, An Qien fell into a coma from exhaustion.
When she woke up, she saw Jiang, Yu Lan, An Shian, and three maids surrounding her bedside, each holding a young prince in their arms.
An Qien was overjoyed when she saw the son she gave birth to. Suddenly there were six more of her relatives in the world. This feeling of happiness was indescribable.
Jiang was overjoyed: "Qi'en has been top-notch since he was a child. He is better at giving birth to children than others. Look how much this young prince looks like you."
Yu Lan answered with a smile: "Most of the sons look like their mothers. You see, my uncle is like you, brother Ping is like my concubine, and the six younger princes are also like my sisters."
An Shian: "Lan'er, we have to have another girl, one who looks like me."
Yu Lan smiled shyly. These days, the relationship between husband and wife has been repaired very well. In the past, they were respectful to each other, but now they are more affectionate.
Jiang agreed: "An'er is right. Lan'er, you have almost recovered. It's time to consider giving Brother Ping a younger sibling."
Yu Lan responded gently: "Lan'er listens to mother."
When An Shi'an saw that Yu Lan had agreed, he was overjoyed. Suddenly something came to his mind and he immediately told An Qien.
"Sister, I have already sent a letter home to the prince, reporting that you, a great hero, gave birth to six sons for him."
An Qien smiled happily: "Six at a time, it's hard work for the prince to come back."
Six sons would get six shares of the family property. An Qien liked this sweet burden so much.
.......
Lu Bochu received this letter from home on the day he won the battle, and everyone in the barracks was celebrating happily.
Lu Boyan originally wanted to return to the palace after winning the battle, but he was worried about his wife who was still pregnant at home and was about to give birth, so he did not go back to the palace, but planned to return directly to Jingyang.
The messenger brought a letter home, and he immediately opened it excitedly. The more he read, the more excited he became. When he saw that An Qien had given birth to six sons at once, Lu Boyan jumped up even more excitedly.
"This king has a son, six sons."
The soldiers nearby were very happy when they heard this.
Lu Boyan didn't waste a moment and immediately set off back to Jingyang to see his wife and children.
...........
An Qien gave birth to six children at once, and she was already in the confinement period, but Jiang said that after giving birth to six children, she needed to spend more time in confinement for her body to recover better.
It happened to be the twelfth lunar month of winter, and it was very cold outside. An Qien was lying down in the house. The six children did not have enough milk, so they had to be fed by the wet nurse.
Normally, she would hold one of her sons for a while, but her arms would get sore after a while if they hugged six of them in a row.
After another half month of confinement, she felt much better, and her face looked rosy.
That day, six small beans were wrapped like rice dumplings and were lying in the crib. An Qi'en was staring at her son lovingly in the room. She would sing and talk to the child. Her voice was so sweet when she had a child. Angry.
"Why are you six so handsome? If Daddy comes back and sees such rare people like you, his heart will be so cute."
Qingbi kept looking at the six little bean bags with a smile: "The six young princes are exactly the same. I am afraid that the prince will not be able to tell the difference between the oldest and the youngest."
After finishing her words, she raised her eyes and stared at the man who came into view dumbfounded: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Is she dreaming?
An Qi'en heard something was wrong with Qingbi's voice and glanced at her: "You girl, you are getting more and more naughty. You actually make fun of me."
How could the prince suddenly appear?
But when she followed Qingbi's line of sight, she was stunned.
She stared blankly at the man in front of her who was thinking about him day and night. For a moment, her head was so excited that she even held her breath, fearing that this was her hallucination and the hallucination would disappear as soon as she took a breath.
"Hail, my lord."
"Hail, my lord."
Qingbi and Minghua bowed excitedly and bowed. After the salute, they walked out with a smile on their lips.
Only then did An Qien realize that it was not an illusion. She was happy and gentle: "Hail, Your Majesty."
Lu Boyan rode hard all the way, slept in the open air, and came back covered in dust. His beard was longer, and there was a bit more vicissitudes in his eyebrows. He stepped forward and hugged An Qien excitedly in his arms.
