Chapter 891 What makes her so special?
The King of Liang's face was gloomy. He had been scheming for the position of Crown Prince for many years, hoping to make a name for himself, but he never expected that everything would turn out so unexpectedly.
Now that he heard the news of the establishment of a crown prince in the palace, the first person he thought of was Chu Junting.
However, the Emperor knew that Qi Qingyi was pregnant, so why did he choose to establish a crown prince at this time? Could it be that something has happened in the palace again?
Qi Qingyi was startled by the rebuke from the King of Liang, and her heart was filled with confusion.
She was pregnant with twins, which was excellent news for the palace. If the emperor were to appoint a crown prince at this time, who else could it be but a prince?
"Go and find out exactly what happened in the palace today," King Liang ordered his men.
Qi Qingyi looked at Prince Liang cautiously. She felt that the prince was overthinking things. Who else could it be but them right now?
She had always felt that her prince was too cautious, never showing his emotions. He seemed very gentle, but she could never quite figure out what he was thinking.
However, the prince can rest assured once definite news comes from the palace.
Thinking of this, Qi Qingyi became happy again.
As a princess, who wouldn't dream of becoming the crown princess?
Not only will she become the Crown Princess, but she will also become the Empress who will rule the world!
However, after the definite news came back from the palace, Qi Qingyi immediately overturned the tea on the table.
"What did you say? The person who was chosen as the Crown Princess is actually Song Ruozhen?"
Qi Qingyi stared wide-eyed in disbelief, finding the news impossible.
Are you sure? Could there be a mistake?
"Your Highness, the news has spread throughout the entire capital, and the palace's rewards have been sent directly to the Chu Prince's residence."
The commotion was so great that it caused a sensation throughout the entire imperial city.
The maid was filled with worry, fearing that the princess would blame them if she found out.
After all, the princess was already capricious, and she became even more irritable after being disfigured. She would beat and scold them at the slightest provocation, and recently each of them had suffered serious injuries.
"Song Ruozhen! What makes her qualified to become the Crown Princess?"
Qi Qingyi's voice was shrill, and she seemed to be insane.
"Why? Is she pregnant too? Or has the King of Chu performed some great service?"
Qi Qingyi clenched her fists. "Why is that woman so lucky? Just because she married the Prince of Chu, she can have everything!"
The scene of King Chu protecting Song Ruozhen unconsciously flashed through her mind.
A woman who had broken off her engagement was older than most young ladies and should not have had a good future, but she was fortunate enough to marry the King of Chu.
The King of Chu not only gave her the favor that all women crave, but your achievements are also numerous. It would be a lie to say I'm not envious.
"Your Highness, I heard that the Empress Dowager is seriously ill and the Imperial Hospital is helpless, so they invited Princess Chu to go there."
After the Princess Consort of Chu treated her, the Empress Dowager's condition improved significantly. The Emperor was overjoyed and thus named the Prince of Chu as Crown Prince.
Qi Qingyi's expression changed again; she hadn't expected that Song Ruozhen was the one who had made the contribution.
Is her medical skill really that good?
The maids and nannies standing nearby exchanged glances, none of them daring to reply.
"That bitch! She's always been against me, and now that I'm pregnant, at the height of my fame, she just has to steal my thunder!"
Qi Qingyi gritted her teeth. She had thought that since she was pregnant with twins, the government would definitely take her very seriously.
By then, everyone will know that she is a blessed person, and the prince will also look at her differently, which will naturally ease her situation in the mansion.
Now, with this commotion, and thinking about how angry the prince was just now, she felt heavy-hearted.
……
Looking at the imperial edict in her hand, Song Ruozhen happily followed Chu Junting back to the palace.
"I never expected that Father would suddenly appoint you as Crown Prince. The news was so sudden that I didn't even have time to react."
Song Ruozhen couldn't help but laugh, her gaze falling on her own abdomen, which she found incredibly coincidental.
She had previously heard her father say that he would make Chu Junting the crown prince after they had a child, and she felt that this matter was uncertain and there might be changes.
Unexpectedly, the deal was finalized so quickly, and most importantly... she was actually pregnant.
Seeing her looking at his stomach, Chu Junting assumed she was thinking about what his father had said earlier, and said:
"It must be because what the Prince of Liang did chilled the Emperor's heart. He plotted to murder the Prince of Yun's unborn child, and his intentions were wicked."
I wasn't sure what decision Father would make at first, but now it seems he values this matter extremely.
Song Ruozhen came to her senses. She had only conceived the night before, so it was too early to say she was pregnant. Even a doctor couldn't tell if she was pregnant.
It would be better to wait a month before announcing the news.
After all, apart from her being a member of the academic community who could sense the child's presence, there were no other methods available at the moment.
"When I returned earlier, I overheard other people in the palace talking about how Princess Liang was pregnant with twins."
"Usually in this situation, wouldn't the palace bestow rewards? But today there seems to be no activity," Song Ruozhen said.
"My grandmother is seriously ill, and my father's mind is entirely on her, so he probably can't attend to her."
Moreover, the Prince of Yun's child was nearly lost, and now the Prince of Liang has given birth to twins. It's not hard to guess the Emperor's thoughts.
Chu Junting believed he had a certain understanding of his father's temperament; he must know about the struggle between the brothers, but involving the children was going too far.
In his previous life, his father had actually had expectations for him, but he simply wasn't interested in them.
Throughout his life, he wanted to fulfill his father's expectations of him.
After getting off the carriage, Chu Junting looked at Song Ruozhen with concern, "Go back to your room and get some rest. With the news coming out today, I'm afraid many people will come to congratulate you. I've had all the guests turned away. Just get some sleep."
Is there anything you'd like to eat? I'll have it prepared in advance so you can eat it when you wake up.
“Anything is fine,” Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, but couldn’t help yawning, her eyes showing signs of fatigue.
Chu Junting felt a pang of heartache in his eyes. With so many things going on lately, it was his wife who had been working so hard.
His rapid appointment as crown prince was entirely due to his wife's influence.
"Go to sleep, I'll take you back to your room,"
Song Ruozhen wrapped her arms around Chu Junting's waist, her eyes hazy, her voice tinged with dependence, "Aren't you going to sleep with me? I don't want to sleep alone right now."
Chu Junting stroked her hair and said gently, "Okay, then I'll sleep with you for a while."
Song Ruozhen nodded and crawled into bed.
Sleepiness quickly overwhelmed her; she was already exhausted, and the morning's busy schedule had depleted her energy, so she needed a good night's sleep to recover.
