Chapter 696 But I'm the Princess of Xiyue, so I can't be a concubine
Faced with Princess An's accusation, Princess Zhelan's expression did not change.
She sat upright, stretched out her hand to touch her belly, and said calmly: "I also understand what Princess An said, but it was because I couldn't help myself, and I was confused and did the wrong thing."
"It's just that this has happened. What I am carrying in my belly is Prince An's child. How will Prince An and Princess settle our mother and son?"
She looked cold and a little aloof, but she didn't feel the slightest bit ashamed.
King An's face looked a little ugly. He did have a one-night affair with this woman, and the time was a month ago, so he was not sure whether the child was his.
If it was his child, he would naturally have to protect it. Although he had many wives and concubines, he only had two sons, one direct son and one concubine. After that, no one in the backyard was pregnant. Everyone wanted to have more children and more blessings. He
I would also like to have a few more.
If the child in Princess Zhelan's belly is really his, then...
Princess An saw King An's hesitation and was so angry that she almost gnashed her teeth: "Your Majesty, you can't keep this child. That's His Majesty's will. Could it be that your Majesty wants to do it for this shameless woman and a bastard who doesn't even know who he is?"
Is it against His Majesty’s will?”
Princess An added: "Besides, for a woman who is so shameless and has had countless men, could it be that the prince still wants to protect her? Does the prince also want this bastard?"
King An choked up when asked. If Princess Zhelan had an affair with another man, he would definitely not want such an innocent woman. But what if this child was really his?
Seeing that she had turned the situation around with just a few words, Princess Zhelan felt a little proud that the couple was about to quarrel. She said softly: "Prince An and Princess An should discuss it carefully, but I am the Princess of Xiyue after all, and I can't give it to anyone."
As a concubine."
"You don't want to be a concubine?" Princess An immediately laughed out loud, "If Princess Zhelan wants to join my palace, Prince An, and doesn't want to be a concubine, is it possible that she still wants me to give up my position as princess?"
Princess Zhelan was really arrogant. Calling her princess was to give her face. Could it be that she thought that the princess from that small place in Xiyue could be compared with the noble princess from Dongming?
She did such a shameless thing, sleeping with multiple men before she was married, getting pregnant with an unknown bastard woman, and then she kept saying that she didn't want to be a concubine?
"My lord, you have heard that she does not want to be a concubine, so she wants me to give up my position!"
King An's head was pounding: "How could it be? You are my princess, and this is something that cannot be changed."
Princess An was the princess that His Majesty personally selected for his marriage. She was of noble birth, virtuous and capable, and gave birth to his eldest son. No matter how much he favored other women, she could not shake her position as his wife.
"Then Princess Zhelan said she is not a concubine?"
King An hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "If the child in her belly is really my king's, the most I can do is give her a concubine."
In fact, King An did not want a woman like this who was not in love with other men. If the child was really his, if it were another woman, he would have to leave the child to the mother. But since it is the princess of Xiyue, he will
You need to give Xiyue Kingdom some face, just keep her.
"The prince is so willing to give up." Princess An chuckled. There were only three wives and concubines in the royal palace. One direct wife, the main concubine, and two side concubines. One of these two side concubines gave birth to a son for Prince An, and the other
She is the beauty that King An has loved for many years.
Princess An turned her head to look at Princess Zhelan, who was sitting there with no expression on her face, and hummed in her heart, thinking that if this woman really entered Prince An's palace, she would definitely let her know what it means to be powerful.
Seeing that they had calmed down, Rong Ci reminded him: "Your Majesty's decree is that this child cannot be kept."
Only then did King An remember this incident. He turned to look at Rong Ci and discussed with him: "Rong Jiu, we can discuss this matter later. I want to find out whether this child is..."
Rong Ci looked cold and did not buy his account: "I was just following orders."
"Can......"
Xie Yixiao tugged on Rong Ci's sleeve, glanced at him, and then said: "Otherwise, let's do this first. The matter will be postponed for a while. After today, His Majesty's Longevity Festival has passed, King An and Ning
The king will come again to discuss who this child is."
"Whether the child can be kept or not depends on His Majesty's will."
Even so, Xie Yixiao knew that this child could not be saved. Even if the child really belonged to Prince Ning or Prince An, His Majesty would not tolerate the birth of a child who did not know whether he was an older brother or a younger brother.
Moreover, Princess Zhelan's inconsistency between these brothers may cause His Majesty to be furious.
Although she also wanted to carry out His Majesty's order immediately, the situation was different now. If this child was only involved with Prince Ning, they were just following orders, and Prince Ning could not blame them.
But now King An is standing here. If they insist on giving Princess Zhelan abortion pills to abort the child, no one can tell who the child is. King An is afraid that he will hold a grudge against them.
In this case, it's better to let them figure it out on their own, so as not to get themselves into trouble, and they are not the ones who make the decision here. King An and Princess are also qualified to make the decision.
When King An heard Xie Yixiao asking him to discuss with King Ning who the child was, he couldn't help but twitching his lips and looking very ugly.
Rong Ci could probably understand Xie Yixiao's concerns, and after thinking about it, he felt that it made some sense. Anyway, sooner or later, this child would not be saved, and it had nothing to do with him sooner or later.
So he said: "You don't need to drink the abortion medicine for now, but Princess Zhelan will rest in Xiyue Garden today. I will order someone to take care of her. What does King An think?"
King An breathed a sigh of relief and responded: "Okay."
"In this case, we should enter the palace now." Rong Ci ordered Qingluo to lead people to look at Princess Zhelan and others, surrounded Xiyue Garden, and then the four of them entered the palace with the envoys.
Although Xiyue Garden was blocked and could not get closer, the other people in the embassy were not blind or deaf, so they naturally knew what happened in Xiyue Garden.
Princess Zhaorou came over and asked Xie Yixiao: "Mrs. Rong Jiu, what happened to Princess Zhelan? Won't she enter the palace with us?"
Xie Yi smiled and said: "Princess Zhelan suddenly fell ill and is inconvenient. She will not be with us today."
Princess Zhaorou curled her lips and said in disbelief: "Mrs. Rong Jiu, you and I are pretty close friends. Why don't you just tell me about it? I promise not to tell anyone."
